I rarely start threads but my recent transaction on ebay pissed me off what is going on with all of these buyers claiming fakes.....
I sold a pair of shoes to the above person on ebay she received them and two days later I receive this email which was an insult as these shoes are authentic and she is a member of this forum.
This is the first email:
Ok, I understand you're a new seller so as a favor I am FIRST going to try and work it out with you, so I do not have to open a case. I own many Christian Louboutins. MANY. I buy directly from Barneys, Saks, and the South Coast Plaza and Robertson store. I use Ebay mainly to find rare/sold out styles in my size (36 or 36.5 depending on shoe) which can be found on eBay for years. FYI, I do not recall seeing this pair posted. I bought 2 rare "unbouts" in both black and yellow in June paying about double retail for each. I'm obviously not bargain hunting CL's.
I seek a FULL REFUND/RETURN as:
1. You do not seem to posses any proof of authentication or receipt of origin. (FYI, I am also an active member of the TPF forum. It is a shoe and purse lovers forum based on opinion, not backed by any authenticating party other than its own constituents.)
2. Item is NOT as described. TPF forum active member or not, I KNOW you are not that familiar with the Christian Louboutin Brand. Fake or Real, the style of these shoes are NOT Pigalle, they ARE the Piou Piou 85mm. (Simply go to the OFFICIAL site: christianlouboutin.com) Currently, authentic Piou Piou 85mm are only sold in black patent, nude patent, and leopard.
3. Heel and heel tip is HIGHLY uncharacteristic of an Authentic CL. One of the tips rotates freely without fastening tighter to the base. Pictures failed to show the poor adhesion between the sole to the underside of heel. This DOES NOT occur with authentic CL because of how its manufactured, EVEN with SIGNIFICANT WORN, yet these are practically new.
Serious CL buyers on Ebay know their shoes. If you sell them, it is imperative to do your research so you can back up your listing and what you SAY. Most of what you have told me is contradictory. FYI 305 is VERY low for what I expected to pay if authentic. As you know, TPF cautions paying below 300 for used. Remember a no return policy is meaningless if eBay protection needs to get involved.
Here is the links to the Authentication and Style Name Thread which was provided to buyer, needless to say she opened a case and will be returning the shoes, but what pissed me off is this person never asked a question and clearly states the TPF Cautions against buying shoes for less than 300 but you bid on a pair of shoes that were less than 300. So if you want to avoid unnessary issues I would suggest you block her.
