hello thanks for the reply.
i am not the seller, i am the buyer who was made to believe by ebay seller mairo33 that the bag she sold to me was authentic.
Additional pics are on the same link:

To answer your questions:
1) Here's a pic of the screws on the CC closure. Now that Michele brought it up, the Chanel Paris engraving looks really odd (and awful) compared to the real ones
2) The Made in France stamp is opposite the Chanel Paris Stamp. I just noticed today that it seems unusually small, I put a ruler beside it to let you know how small it is.
3) The zipper head is not marked with anything. It doesn't say lampo. But again, seller said this was a vintage bag so a lot of the most recent authenticating marks cannot be found on this bag.
4) There is no sticky sticker residue anywhere in the bag. I'm not sure what the seller said about it, I think she said the sticker is "gone" (meaning it used to be there), or that this bag was made before Chanel started issuing serial stickers.
5) I took the liberty to also post a picture of the CC turnlock, where there is supposed to be the small CC logo. In this bag, its on the left C. I noticed that on some bags its on the right, and then on my other Chanel (silver and gold CC, it's on the flat side of the CC).
6) AND! I noticed that the CCs are flat. The right C does not overlap the left C on the top part. They just sort of meet. I dont know how else to describe it, but they are flat.
Now I'm starting to be 1000% sure that this bag is a knock off. What can I do to make sure that this mairo33 seller pays me back for this knock off??? I checked my Paypal account and it's exactly 4 months today since I bought this bag from her.
What options can I take with eBay? What are the chances that they will be on my side?
Thank you
Glad we could help you.
