Hello lovely tPFers
I was interested in a pair of Chanel flats on Ebay, and I had the listing authenticated on the authentication thread here. I know nothing about Chanel shoes; I have never owned any or looked at any in detail. I only had feedback from one kind member who said that they appeared authentic but she could not be 100% positive because she was not an expert in shoes. So I decided to just message the seller to ask if they were guaranteed authentic as the words "authentic" and "genuine" did not appear on the listing. I asked if they were guaranteed if they were authentic and would they be returnable if they were not. And also did she have a BIN price?
And she sent me this message back,
Yes, they're authentic. You won't need to return it, as you can see everything very clearly in the photos. Unfortunately I don't accept returns to protect myself against crazy people. I hope you can understand. The fact that you're even asking if these are authentic or not is a warning sign to me. People who are familiar with Chanel shoes would be able to tell very clearly from the photos and not even have to ask that question. I don't have a buy it now price- I'll sell the shoes for the winning bid.
Thanks.
So the question is...Am I not supposed to ask about authenticity of the item? I am clearly not familiar with Chanel shoes at all, and hearing all the horror stories here on the ebay subforum I wanted to hear from the seller herself stating that they are authentic before I bid. I just hope she didn't block me because I really wanted the shoes I was just surprised that she said it was a "warning sign" that I had to ask her about authenticity... Never have I had that kind of response before....
Thanks!
