Hi,
If this is inappropriate, I apologize and will remove it.
I'm a re-seller/ up-cycler, and I have a thing for bags (don't we all?) My problem ( I'm hoping you can help me with) is, that I buy them,and then don't put them up for sale, because there are so many tricky fakes out there. I know the drill on most key things to look for, but I'm still reluctant to list. I don't want my seller status suspended if a rogue fake slips past my radar. It is definitely not my intention to peddle counterfeits.
And please don't take this to be a deragotory post about this site, on the contrary, I've found TPF to be an awesome resource/learning tool.
Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm *almost* literally up to my ears in various designer bags. I think it's awesome that you will authenticate/ help, please know that.
It's just a bit cumbersome to upload a mass amount of various designer bags to a photobucket (prior to ever trying to sell them) and posting/explaining/referencing on each designer thread.
Other re-seller friends have suggested putting them on Etsy or Poshmark, instead, because the repercussions aren't as harsh as Ebay. I'd like to get your opinions.
Or, if anyone of you has vast cross knowledge, on different designers, I'd paypal you to check my listings, and notify me to take them down directly, if a fake eluded me.
Quite possibly I'm making this more difficult then it is? It just sadly seems so much easier to point out the people w/ fake bags for sale, then to try to authenticate prior to selling one?
And, I promise I'm not trying to peddle on here, but any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
