How long does it take for ebay to take down a reported fraudulent item? I just reported two fake Guccis... they were so disgusting looking!

Sometimes it's hours, sometimes it's days. Ebay is completely unpredictable, these days.

24 hours ago I reported Marc Jacobs Black Quilted Handbag - 220502834239 to eBay, but it is still there. In the blurb it states that it is a Marc Jacobs STYLE (their uc) Black Quilted Handbag. Is this a fake that should be pulled or does the fact that they admit that it is a MJ "style" bag make it ok?

NOPE.. using the designer's name AT ALL for an "XX-style" bag is a violation of ebay policy. Report it for keyword spamming & explain listing says "MJ "STYLE" bag".
You can also report this one for "misleading title".

I think ebay waits for 2, 3 or more reports. Therefore you might post in "Fakes" and ask the other TPF members to report as well or report in several ways.

I am delighted to see that the MJ "Style" handbag has been pulled. I hated the idea of someone paying $100 for this. SM

This is a general comment and not aimed at anyone so please don't take it badly anyone here!

Personally, I report things that I have seen given the thumbs down on the authenticate-this-~

However, I do sometimes see people saying 'I've never seen something like that before' and saying it's fake based on purely their own experience. We can get carried away sometimes, particularly in the early stages of getting to know a particular brand.

I'm lucky because I can always pull one of my collectors magazines or look books off the wall and 9 times out of 10, I find it there as an unusual line.

Yes we should definitely stamp out obvious fakes, but the key point from recent postings is:

Where authenticators here have found a problem, if individual members make a few posts, then eBay see a pattern and are likely to pull it.

Occasionally there will be something that slips through. Sometimes there will be something that is so weird as to be unbelievable.

There are also some items which are released as limited runs in different countries. Big companies know their markets really well and what will work in one place, sometimes won't in another. So it is always possible, particularly with international sales, that what is common in one country is rare in another. That doesn't mean it's automatically a fake, but it means you'd have to search a wider net before reaching a conclusion. It's also why PF is good because we have members from all around the globe.

Just my view.
