couple of tips. . .
if it says NWT and is selling for $50 - it's fake
if they say they're a wholesaler - it's a fake
if they have 20 of them to sell. . .

NWT = New with tag
BNIB = Brand new in box (NIB = new in box)

If there is only one picture in the auction and the seller cannot provide more pictures for whatever reason (she's out of town at the moment, her camera broke, her daughter/son has their camera and is at university, etc.) it is fake.

Black hang tags . Chanel only uses white ones .

Phillips screws on the turn-lock closure . Chanels are flat-heads .

White dustcover w/ new bag , black dustcover w/ vintage bag . Of course , ask if that is the original dustbag .

No slash thru the zero in the hologram , and the hologram font in general .

Chanel "Made in Paris" ? Uh uh , it should be "Made in Italy" , or "Made in France" .

Yup..u never know whether it is authentic or not.
Just look at some of the prices it offered...way too cheap for a real Chanel bag
Try to avoid making yr purchases on ebay..if u can

Just to add....even after this, the item that they send you may not be the one represented in the pics. So be very careful, try to find out what ou can about the seller. The 'authenticate this' thread is invaluable.

^ To be honest I don't trust that first one at first glance , I didn't look really close though . I'd post this in the "authenticate this" thread w/in Chanel Shopping . Michele is a genius !
