I agree! But, I hope people are 100% certain that the bag they are reporting IS a fake. I have listed two handbags on EBAY that were guaranteed authentic, purchased from Gucci themselves, and I had them removed for supposedly selling fake handbags. Now I have had my account limited with Ebay due to this. The bags were REAL. I buy wholesale directly from Gucci reps. So, please be sure the handbag you are reporting is a fake!

My friend had an incident with Ebay where she actually BOUGHT a fake handbag unknowingly. The bag they showed in the picture was NOT the bag she received! What an ordeal. She sent the bag back to the customer and never received a refund! So the seller got her money AND the bag back. Paypal did nothing, and eventually closed her case. Yes, fake exist on Ebay, but there are also many authentic ones!

Good luck bidding, as they say.

My Report drop-down boxes are not working, I've reported this by phone today:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...E:B:SS:GB:1123

The dreaded 10218184 "authentication" card number.

I took the opportunity to "show" them 2 more bags with the same auth card number, both of which I (and others) had reported but neither of which had been removed. One sold for £750, the other for £500+.

I feel that there should be something we could DO, someone in authority we could alert about this dire situation

I have to agree with you, too many people who are not experts are reporting authentic bags as fakes. Please don't ruin someone future status with EBay unless you are 100% certain it is a fake. In a lot of cases, you can't tell by just a picture. You need to personally inspect it. I was screwed by a real dumb sh-t that didn't have a clue what a real ROACH looked like. Now I'm red flagged for all designer items.

I think there is a very easy solution to this problem - put in your auction that you are a member of TPF and have buyer post the auction pics here in the appropriate thread for authentication.

scyllabub · May 28th, 2009, 04:39 PM

Scammers often say they are members of tPF, but adding the authentication link seems a good idea.

I never report just because someone else tells me to, only when incontrovertible signs are present in the listing. In my case that usually means the good old 10218184

Authenticate This must think I'm interested in really carpy bags because I refer "possibles" to them

fake fake fendi reported but not removed

hotshot · May 30th, 2009, 08:22 PM

I think one has to do their homework before purchasing anything on ebay. Look in the stores be familiar with the details and most important ask the seller if she will stand behind the item you are purchasing. If it doesn't turn out to be the real deal you have a fight on your hands. You have to deal with Paypal, ebay, cc or bank. So if it looks too good to be true it probablyisn't the real thing.. So buyer beware and seller beware that people will find out about what you do !!
