Did you notice that she does not mention the word "authentic" anywhere? Unlike the other sellers looking to make thousands, all her items sell in the low hundreds. She knows exactly what she is doing. She recently sold a Fendi that she listed the same way, of course she claims it retails for $850-- insinuating it is authentic, but never saying it directly. I'm sure she believes if she never uses the word "authentic" she is legally off the hook, which is not the case. But she'll plead ignorance and eBay will more than likely let her get away with it. :cursing:

This is my first post, so I apologize in advance for any issues this post may contain. It appears eBay has not removed the items referenced above and the seller continues to list these items for sale. I cannot tell if they are the same Bals being relisted because they were returned or they have several because they are fakes. It appears they have sold four very recently. See feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...id=-1&de=off&items=25&interval=0&mPg=4&page=1.

The main reason I am posting is due to an interesting exchange that took place on the ATB thread a few days ago regarding one of the Bals listed above. Despite being told this item was fake, the person requesting the authentication of the bag claimed they bought it anyway and had it authenticated at Barney's. This was clearly not true, so it makes you wonder who the poster really was. I am posting the exchange below or you can find it here: http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...se-read-rules-use-format-post-678449-404.html and ending here: http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...se-read-rules-use-format-post-678449-405.html.

The poster never responded and has not posted since. I just thought I should share this information and I hope this is the appropriate place and format.

Fake sellers should find more creative ways of defending themselves, when they want to defind themselves here on the forum. They only have a few patterns. The questionable poster on the AT forum, behaved one of the patterns.

Unfortunately, fake makers have improved their skills. We need to be very careful. I hope many people do their research before they buy something on ebay and other places.

designappeal is a professional scammer. Has learned how to manipulate eBay and uneducated buyers to remain on eBay to continue selling and to more than likely sneak in selling their mirror copy fakes at a later date. Don't be surprised if this seller has other eBay IDs to list and sell under. This is a seasoned seller with experience so they know what they're doing.

This one is obviously fake! Even I can tell ![/QUOTE]

This bag was removed. Seller has now relisted same fake Balenciaga bag omitting the Balenciaga brand name in title header to avoid eBay's search engines so they can get away with selling their fake Balenciaga. Using Ladies Magenta Leather Classic handbag in title header. Seller has also removed several photos for their relist to try and hide they're selling a fake Balenciaga.
