How do I report a seller who mixes fakes with real items??
This seller: Sophistifashion, send me a used Coach bag which was deemed satisfactory, but the hangtag was fake. It was blank (not embossed with "coach"), was too small, and wasn't leather! (see 1st picture).
When I contacted "sophistifashion"

(aka Mrs. Eddie Ford from Louisville, KY), she blamed the issue on the prior owner... fair enough. She then promised to send a new hangtag; which she did. However, it was PAINTED!!!

I'm not sure if it's authentic or not, but the fact that she painted it (see 2nd picture) makes me seriously question her honesty, thus the authenticity of any of her items!! I sent her pictures and expressed my disgust, and her only response was "return the item and I will refund your money". Again, fair enough, but how do I prevent sellers like this???

Suggestions....

Taz,

Post photos of auction listings in the "authentic this" thread before bidding to see if the item is authentic.

There is a Coach section for authenticating.

It just happened to me too. Item #280258806348..where can we go to confirm about the fake Louboutins? I filed a dispute with paypal and the seller rejected the refund...She sent me the wrong color too. I got a fake red/plum CL rolandos.

If anyone knows how to approach this more efficiently, I would be appreciated. I just can't stand fakes.

I recently sold a LV bag on e-bay that had been purchased as authentic from e-bay three years earlier.
As soon as the buyer got it she e-mail and claimed that it was fake. I told her that if it was fake that I wasn't aware of it, but please send it back for a full refund. She refused to send the bag back despite repeated appeals from me to do so. She said she must file a complaint with pay-pal to get her refund ( which is totally untrue). Anyway...long story short...after 2 months, pay-pal gave her a refund plus let her keep my bag. I feel that this was a scam by her since she claimed to have bought 3 fake bags within a month on e-bay. However pay-pal ignored this info.
My bag had all the authenticating marks that one looks for in an authentic LV.
Just my bad luck I guess.
OH YES...she sold a bag just like mine while the claim was open, pay-pal also ignored this and refused to give me proof that the bag had been destroyed or that it had been proven a fake...they said get a subpeona!!!!

This seller is a scammer, I purchased this fake necklace, left positive feedback not knowing the item is fake. I contacted her and politely asked for the full refund. She refused and lied with all the bullshit information she made it up.

Can you girls please help me to report this FAKE item on eBay? The more people is the better. Thanks in advance.

scammer seller:
This seller is not selling authentic Louis Vuitton. http://cgi.ebay.com/Luis-Vuiton-belt...3286.m20.l1116
...among other brands. This bugs me that eBay let's it go on.
Can everyone please get together and report?
Mods...please relocate my post elsewhere if inappropriate. I also posted in the LV authenticate this forum...but this seller is selling Fucci too.

Unfortunately, I have not had any luck with lisitngs that are not in the USA. USA is very responsive but not other countries for some reason.
