Hi,
I am a well-respected seller (small-time) on eBay for nearly 17 years. About 2 years ago, I started buying and re-selling things to supplement my income due to my student loans from law school, because the payments just became unbearable.
My "formula" is that I always, always, always...you get the idea post clear, color-accurate (e.g. taken with a high-end camera, not a cell phone) pictures that showcase the authenticity hallmarks and I show my receipt to also prove authenticity, but I cover up my prices and any personal information.
I just got a message from someone, and I'll protect this person's username...for now, I guess, but I am, let's say, a little more than pissed off, and I'm not sure what to do.
Here is my listing, and the reason is that it hasn't sold is that people are idiots and keep offering $100-$150, as if I paid anywhere near that little...feel free to call the Woodbury Commons store and they'll F-ing verify I bought it. Seriously W-T-F????

First message (clearly cut off): I'm a fendi buyer. This seems unauthentic as this p
Second message: This particular clutch goes for way more than $350. I know a website that has those tags and certificates which is not given to anybody by Sunday. As a Fendi rep I will need eBay to investigate as this is not a real Fendi bag
SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE F? I have NEVER encountered anything like this!!!!! My response is below:
I'm sorry, but no one has EVER questioned the authenticity of any of my items. This is the small case, which did retail for $350. Not to be rude, but before you ruin my reputation and get my eBay account suspended for no reason whatsoever, I do not know for sure if you are a Fendi representative, because you clearly do not know the Fendi line at all.
As you can CLEARLY see both on the Fendi and Neiman Marcus websites, there IS a pouch that sells for $350, just that it is the current monster design:

If you did work for Fendi, you would also know that the serial number is correct, the authenticity hallmarks are correct, and my receipt is real. You would also be able to see that every single item I have on eBay is 100% authentic, backed up by clear pictures showcasing the authenticity hallmarks, accurate colors, AND receipts.
I would appreciate it if you don't ruin me because of a baseless accusation.
Thank you.
Now that my heart is pounding in my chest about the possibility of my eBay account being suspended for "fake" goods, and it's 2:30 AM and I can't sleep but need to, what on earth do I do? Thanks for the help.
