Well, I did a stupid thing, bid and won a "100% Authentic" Glitter Ball key ring-from Hong Kong. I received it today and it is sooooo fake! I contacted the seller, called amex (paid thru paypal) and filed a dispute with Ebay. The seller wrote back and sounded just as pissed as I was at him! I told him I was taking it to my boutique so they can verify its fakeness. Will the LV store do this for me? This thing looks so bad IRL-its supposed to be silver-its a dull silver-gold, the charms aren't in the right spots and they look odd and the small rings at either end of the glitter ball don't look like the real ones do. The seller listing says "moneyback authenticity" then a few lines down it says, "all sales final/no refunds" WTF? Anyway, seller says he will refund me if I have a letter from LV saying its fake. Amex is going to suspend the charge. Oh and then he says he has a receipt on LV letterhead. Well I know from friends who bought mirror-replicas from China that they include fake, blank LV letterhead so you could easily fake all that too! What kills me is that he's got about 99% positive feedback from over 2000 sales in like 4 yrs. Thats why I thought I'd try this guys product. Who's buying this crap and liking it? Well live and learn, I will only consider MPRS when looking for designer bags or I'll just go to my lovely local LV shop!
