I can't believe I just did this!

I purchased an Authentic Ferragamo from a 0 FB seller and it was one of the smoothest transactions I ever had! Hope yours is too!

Actually, I am an authenticator and have authenticated quite a bit in the LV threads

- after getting the necessary pics, I can say that it is the real deal!

Yeah - PayPal coverage is $200, but my credit card company has a very strong backing should I need to do a chargeback that way. (I hope it doesn't come to that!!)

Everyone's got to start somewhere with EvilBAY so give the seller a chance and you may find this to be one of the best transactions you've had.

LOL that's the truth! I'm so far in I can't even remember where I started on the bay - definitely don't remember the first thing I sold!

My fingers are crossed for you. Does the seller have a return policy just in case?

LV Rawks · Aug 26th, 2008, 11:12 PM

Good luck, I hope that it all goes well!

Ebene - to match my new Cles.

Guessssssssssssssssss what?! It got here!

FAST & Authentic!!!!! I'm excited... uploading pictures now.

The only thing is, the seller shipped in the Louis Vuitton box ONLY. No cushion, the bag was not wrapped (not even in its dustbag). She taped around the outside of the box with the USPS tape. So the box is in rough shape. I'm just so happy it wasn't stolen!!

Also, the bag has a minor odor, not totally unpleasant, but not *good* (kwim?)

So overall a nice experience purchasing from a 0FB seller. I don't recommend it to everyone, but this was just a great deal.

wow i cant believe they shipped it in just the lv box!

but atleast it arrived in good condition with no problems! congrats on ur gorgeous bag!

coachfreak · Aug 28th, 2008, 10:16 PM

That is a great bag!

Yea, she is obviously new if she mailed it in the LV box for everyone to see and "defaced" the gift box with all that tape.

Congrats!
