You wont have to pay(his) shipping out, but ONLY to return it to him. No matter what he says. Unless you agreed to it before(not knowing any better).

Like I said before the seller has no seller protection, Not even on the shipping.

Thanks-no, nothing was said before hand. But this seller thinks he doing me a big favour by taking the bag back. What really gets me, is that it is not a Gucci and he wants to turn around and resell it. I thought that with these types of designer bags that the factories destroyed the so called "seconds". Do you know if Gucci sells factory seconds? I am not even sure where to find this out.
Thanks again for your insight! It is very helpful

Gucci do not sell truckloads of seconds to any wholesaler. This is an urban legend created by counterfeitors or counterfeits wholesalers.

I have a question - I am a newbie and just got a kooba bag off ebay which I now believe may be a fake- I have been told the tag for the bag doesn't match the season/bag (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130183483239

- it has not yet been shipped, because I have not verified my address (but I did already pay for it via paypal)

I just contacted the seller to let them know that I do not believe the tag to be correct and am questioning the authenticity.

My question is, what is the next step as far as ebay is concerned? Do I continue to converse with the seller or contact ebay?

Any suggestions are appreciated

I just had a little reporting fakes session - they're quick on the ball tonight as most of them have been removed within the hour. YAY!

I reported my fake, an LV key ring, tonight, got a quick response about investigating the seller etc; also called Amex who I used via Paypal to file a dispute; they were going to suspend the charge. What do I do next? Wait til I see my cc was credited the money, then send it back? I also contacted the seller with my allegations and he flipped out on me (hey, I'm from NJ and a Sag., we don't mince words) but will refund my money. He supposedly has had thousands of sales and his feedback is almost 100%. How can he do this? Maybe he sells other real stuff, but this key ring, IRL, was a piece of garbage. The kicker thats gonna screw him is that it was listed as "100% Authentic". I learned my lesson. Any thoughts?

Question- I don't have a problem reporting fakes the first two ways suggested, but when it comes to giving a description as to what makes the bag fake, unless it has the proof positive black controllato card-I personally can't report as I do not feel that I know enough to tell the fakes from the real. Would it be possible to add what is wrong, 1 or 2 words, when posting on "report fakes in three different ways"? eg, if the bag has wrong monogram, or didn't come in that style/colour etc, would it be possible to add this? I am finding that when the items are reported the third way - giving a brief description of what makes the bag a fake, that the listing is removed. Otherwise, the listing stays up. Am I making any sense?

I've always found eBay quite reluctant to remove auctions - especially if you report a lot of them. Its almost like it is too much work for them and they are losing money by not keeping the auctions.

I still like to do my part in reporting, makes me feel a little better. I do find that Ebay removes the listing, but usually it takes the third way of reporting- which is listing the reason why the bag is counterfeit. Like I mentioned, I can only report the bags that have the fake black control cards because I know the bags are fake then. Otherwise, I do not report as I am in no way an expert.
