^There aren't enough pics to really tell if that bag is authentic.
The pics shown casts lots of doubt to me. I'm not even an authenticator.

In addition, it looks really eerily similar to Nestegg's etoupe birkin that brought lots of drama here.

MistiKat, thanks for the clarification - no, I did not mean to rely on the receipt. I just suggest that if there's indeed a receipt with an H store, one may check with the store as a starting point. I agree with you that I would stay away from that bag :)

Aside from the dubiousness of the bag, receipts can be and are faked, and are not necessarily any measure of authenticity. And the seller also says, deep in the auction, that the bag was purchased in April. Seller also had this bag for sale in July, and "sold" it for $11,999 on August 19. I would stay far, far away from this.

Yes, Mistikat Ebay banned my buyer account because the seller lied and told Ebay that I never even paid for the item, but I in fact paid her via Bank wire due to the amount. Let this be a lesson to never pay away from Pay Pal. I am talking with my bank to recover my funds from this fraud seller and my Attorney is on her case. Thank you for your concerns.

I am not an authenticator but I agree with GK and would stay away from this one - based on the photos, it seems that the little clochette is certainly clemence while some photos show a bag of different leather...

I am not thrilled with the shine that I am seeing on the thread. I also do not have much confidence in sellers with only 11FB and items costing 49cents. I would take the safe road and pass.

I have not heard of Ebay banning buyers for not paying, is this a new practice? I thought the standard was just to have sellers leave a neg after trying to get their money..strange.

To Irishgal, the reason the fraudulent seller had me banned from Ebay was because they told Ebay that I lied about paying for the item bought, and that I left a negative feedback just to ruin feedback score.

To Peggioka you are so right when you say that you are not an authenticator. Of course the clochette is clemence leather just like the rest of my bag is made from the same clemence leather. It is so obvious to me that you have never seen an authentic Hermes clemence leather parchment Birkin nor do you own one. Please do not make incorrect comments about the authenticity of my bag. As clemence leather is made from the baby bull and the grain is not as deep as the other hermes textured leathers.

In response to ModProject: Please note that I never actually stated that your bag is not authentic. I said that I did not like the shiny thread. I am certainly within my rights to make a judgment regarding feedback for only 11 items, some of which were in very inexpensive, when many thousands of dollars are at stake. If I needed anymore convincing to stay away from your bag, you have provided all the reasons necessary in your post.

You also have provided me all of the reason necassary in your post to once again make the point that you have the right in this thread to make judgment on the actual bag that I am selling, NOT to pass judgement on me, the seller. I dont care if I had 0 feedback, and am selling a Hermes bag for $100,000.00 it dosent give you the right to advise people that I am a untrusted seller. I am going to defend my character.

You need to stick to topic Grace Kelly to this blog, which is to authenticate an Hermes bag, you are leading this blog to pass judgement on sellers. This is not right. Once again I am going to defend my character as a Trusted Ebay Seller.
