I had a good experience with PayPal, which refunded my money (not for a handbag). I don't think a CC is an advantage with PayPal, since the CC company may use PayPal's prior decision, too. You'd be better off notifying the Internet Fraud Complaint-something-(IFCC). CarolDiva.com has a link.

They may, but judging by the many threads on this over on the TPF eBay forum (thankfully I haven't had to deal with this myself), many times a credit card company will allow a chargeback when PayPal will not. American Express in particular is mentioned as being more "consumer-friendly."

Now, the flip side of this is that honest sellers have been defrauded by people doing credit card chargebacks. But as a buyer, it's nice to have two layers of protection.

real or fake? or are the pictures too poor? should i ask for more?

I'm not sure if the Bonnie has been faked. Maybe someone else knows. From what I can see in the pictures, I think this one is real. If it is the one she bought in April, I would feel pretty good about it, because those pictures look good.

Hi can someone please tell me if this Koobie Mattie is authentic. I am not familiar with this bag but have a big itch to buy this and like the way it looks BUT DO NOT WANT A FAKE. So any input would be great. Also if you own one if you could tell me the pros and cons of the bag IYO would help. I really like the color of this one and have been watching for one on eBay just don't want to end up with a fake and have to deal with the whole getting my money back. Thanks and please see the link below.

The pics look pretty good... However - the seller only has 2 feedback's as a seller, which I would consider too risky to proceed for a $400 purchase. With only that amount of feedback, you have very little history to go on. In my opinion, you could probably get a better deal from a more established seller if you wait a while and set up an automatic daily search for an Elisha.

Looks good. I would request pics of the interior zipper pull though, a side shot so you can see the graduated thickness. From what I remember, that bag and its sister styles had quite a bit of color/leather variation, and that seems consistent with her pics too. Again, you could probably get a better deal on this bag if you don't need to buy right away. Good luck!

Hi my lovely Kooba experts!

I am loving this Marcelle in green but I don't know enough about the bag to tell if it's authentic. Does it look ok? Or is anyone familiar with this seller?

Thanks all!

Thanks all!

Whippetgood, you've found a good one.. that's an authentic Kooba Marcelle.

whippetgood · Jun 29th, 2008, 01:25 PM

Thanks, Minimouse! She sure is purty. I'm still debating whether to take the plunge.

whitemamacita · Jun 30th, 2008, 07:03 PM

Thanks for your opinion, I am pretty sure this bag is real and asked for PIC, it looed good of the zipper. Do you think if I hold out and it doesn't sell she may list it again for a bit less? The price is a little steep, I did agree with that when I saw it, would like it around $50.00 cheaper at least. Let me know what you think and thanks for answering it did help. The auction ends really soon, thanks a bunch@.....
