All we can do is keep reporting. I've also contacted Coach directly and told them that not only hasn't Ebay removed the 50-plus Coach fakes reported yesterday, but they haven't removed over a hundred verified Michael Kors fakes either.
 

My thought is that I wouldn't touch that bnag or any similar listing from that seller suthrnatmosphere with a 10-foot pole.

STOLEN copyrighted website photo from Coach. Illegal and a violation of Coach's website policy AND US Copyright laws. NEVER BUY FROM A PHOTO THIEF.
NO PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL BAG. Seller can't even be bothered to list the style number so I doubt very much if they're "shipping from the factory"
From the shipping time in the listings the seller is apparently DROP_SHIPPING the bags from an outside source, NOT from the manufacturer. ALWAYS a problem, even if the item turns out to be genuine.

THEY CAN'T EVEN GET THEIR DESCRIPTIONS RIGHT !!!

"CROC LEATHER WALLET" - CROCK is right. It's just embossed patent.

This one not only shows a description for a wallet AND IS DESRIBED AS "BRAIDED" IN THE TITLE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY BRAIDING, BUT THE BAG ITSELF looks like a piece of Canal Street CWAP - waiting for confirmation from the other authenticators, pics below of the Pink Monstrosity-

I'd rant and rave a while longer but I have to report at least one POS and look for more
DO NOT BUY FROM " suthrnatmosphere "

ETA - and here's ANOTHER fake !!! They can't even be bothered to put the emblem on straight - and it's described as a Swingpack!!!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-L...176537?hash=item211bbb3d59:g:sFsAAOSw-0xYO0Ad

ANYONE WHO KNOWS MICHAEL KORS MIGHT WANT TO LOOK THROUGH THIS SELLER'S LISTINGS TOO. There are more fake coaches too, so anyone who wants to help report is welcome.

I just reported almost 50 listings and that doesn't include all the Completeds. EVERY SINGLE "COACH" ITEM LISTED BY "
suthrnatmosphere " IS PROBABLY FAKE, AND AT LEAST 90 PERCENT ARE PROVEABLE FAKES JUST FROM THE ONE PHOTO THEY SHOW. THIS ISN'T JUST FAKES-SELLING, IT'S MASSIVE FRAUD.

I also posted at the Michael Kors board and suggested they might want to go through the seller's listings, some of those "MK" items look just as cr@ppy as the fake Coaches.

It could even be a hijacked account, the prices are too similar and the descriptions were just copied from unrelated items.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/282281093646?_mwBanner=1

Looks like the same seller I posted yesterday. Look at the username and location. The seller I posted yesterday is Helen Munn.

jenlovescoach, this is just one of the reasons that we ask that seller's names be included and posted in authentication requests. When we find a major crook like this, the more places we can expose them and make their IDs avaialble in forum and Google searches, the sooner we can put them out of business.

Just as a follow-up, yesterday cdtracing at the Michael Kors forum reported over ONE HUNDRED fake MK items from that seller, so this is someone who's about to rip off a LOT of gullible buyers unless they're stopped. She's also reported the seller directly to MK's anti-counterfeiting people but so far all the listings for that CWAP are still up, Current and Completed.

We can't really report the listings using stolen stock photos, but anyone who has time to report those other fake Coaches or at least some of them, please do. You may have to scroll down a bit to find them but the fakes are obvious, they won't look like anything you've seen before except on Chinese websites, there are just 2 examples in my original post. There's even a fake "pre-owned" bag here - fake style, creed AND serial number:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-C...271866?hash=item211b70667a:g:-O8AAOSw44BYFRU2

Apparently the HELEMUN_0 ID was opened back in June as a backup ID, this is the first time the account's been used - something scammers and fraudsters also do..
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=helemun_0&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560&rt=nc&iid=282281205614&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller

I'd also recommend against buying ANYTHING from anyone located in Brookhaven Mississippi without a THOROUGH investigation.

GOOD CATCH!

Yep, same seller, from BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI. New ID is HELEMUN_0

ALL ARE OBVIOUS FAKES, PLEASE REPORT AND IF THERE'S ROOM ON THE REPORT, STATE THAT THIS IS THE SAME SELLER AND LOCATION AS " SUTHRNATMOSPHERE " WHO WAS REPORTED WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS FOR AT LEAST 50 FAKE COACHES AND OVER 100 FAKE MICHAEL KORS ITEMS.

I'm curious, where did you find the Helen Munn name? It makes sense based on that second ID, but I didn't notice it in the few listings I had time to actually look through. There's definitely at least 2 people, probably mother and daughter, with that name in that town.

For those who are interested in knowing which sellers to avoid and if you buy from other sites, this seller peddles her fakes elsewhere.

Beware of listings from Decatur, Mississippi as well as Brookhaven, Mississippi

Yep, she has those fakes with the stolen stock photos on Mercari too. Just one photo, and 15-20 days to drop-ship "FACTORY DIRECT TO YOU". But she doesn't say WHAT factory, or mention the six-year old kids that are probably chained to their machines making that fake sh!t.

iOffer? Does anyone still sell on iOffer? More important, does anyone still BUY on iOffer? You'd think they would have learned by now. At least that store is inactive but she'll probably reopen it once she has to start getting rid of the fakes from Ebay. Assuming Ebay in their infinite greed removes more than just those first 12, of course.

What a piece of work.

Ugh! More!
If anyone feels up to it, the Secretary of State in Mississippi might be interested in knowing about Suthrnatmosphere.Com.

Seller was also on eCrater though I'm not seeing listings. It shows as "invalid ID" so she might have been booted from Ecrater:

Based on the error message, I believe there is a suspended booth on bonanza that suthrnatmosphere had.

Good Evening Authenticators,
Please verify this Coach bag.
Item: Vtg Coach USA Black Leather Geometric Boxy Tote Handbag w/ Cut Out Handles
Listing number: 272472273741
Seller: otto-mani
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Coach-USA-Black-Leather-Geometric-Boxy-Tote-Handbag-w-Cut-Out-Handles/272472273741?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid=888007&algo=DISC.MBE&ao=1&asc=38530&meid=29bd7cb874394f80b8e07abe11ef09b7&pid=100009&rk=1&rkt=2&sd=122247718386
Comments: Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Authentic stroll tote. This is the reissue made in the early 90s, not the original Bonnie Cashin which was smaller. I have one and I love it.
 
Could you please authenticate these recent purchases? Both are from a thrift store and are in my possession. Neither bag has a hang tag anymore, must have been lost to time. Please let me know if you need any more pictures!

First one is a small clutch (not sure of the style name?), measures 9x5x2. I was having trouble getting a good picture of the creed with my cell phone camera, but the serial number reads D2S-7785, if it's hard to read.

Second one is a Stewardess bag, which measures approximate 11wx9hx5d. I love it, I hope it's genuine.
