Abbey's closet just listed this. This has to be fake, right?!!?


OMG1111! The date code is totally wrong. The 4 is backwards. That is totally ridiculous IMHO. What do you think?

Well, here is one from TRR with a backward 4 https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/handle-bags/louis-vuitton-multicolore-abelia-bag and one from FP with a 'normal' 3 http://www.fashionphile.com/louis-vuitton-multicolor-silk-satin-abelia-white-79153
I am not commenting on whether or not they are authentic as I never even knew this style existed

I saw that listing too and posted about it like a week ago and I guess the verdict is it is real. Just never even seen that style and I THOUGHT I was familiar with the MC line. But that purse is so ugly and my first thought was that it was fake. I could be wrong, but LV posting a date code with a backward 4? How weird.

Hello everybody. I haven't posted in awhile, sorry this will be a long one. I just want to vent and warn you fellow Tradesy sellers of Picture & listing thieves hitting an all time low. I searched one of my item to make sure it's coming up on searches. Lo' & behold! found an identical listing from another closet using my pictures, header, description, like the whole she-bang. To top it all, this closet also listed "my item" half off my listing price using all my leg work. I do not understand her intent for it didn't make sense. If the item sells, she will be sending an item that was not in her listing.

I emailed Tradesy of the situation. I also message the seller. Please read the back & forth below. The reasoning of this seller was mind boggling. Please check your items on search from time to time to make sure nobody using your listing. Apparently, this is a normal practice and is OK. Also, after all the messaging, my listing that was stolen is still up.

How are you going to send my bag if somebody buys it?

Oh Thats awesome! Great you can send an item thats not in your possession. So much for being a socially good company. Nothing really good with stealing other's work and posting as your own.

And yes, my bag looks exactly like yours. So why would I take pictures of the exact same bag, when it is identical? Because of my charity, it takes a while to put listings on, so I am sorry if I offended you. I will take them down if you would like. I DON'T steal. ALL my proceeds support a domestic shelter. Unless they are watermarked, this is a normal practice.

Oh my goodness! You need to educate yourself on copyright infringement! "Stealing somebody else's work is never NORMAL" or will ever be normal. YOU do not have a right to use my pictures and copy my listing without my permission! Your Charity is not the issue, it's your "Stealing" is the issue! Use your own pictures and description. It's really simple.

WOW! That's horrible. I recently saw a bag (Celine) I wanted to get on ebay (from japan). I searched for the same style on Tradesy to see if I can find it cheaper and the SAME BAG with the SAME pics showed up except the woman said she was based in TX and shipping from the US. I messaged her asking how long will it take her to ship and she said about 7 days. Meaning once she got the sale, she would buy it on ebay, then ship to me from the US.
I then went ahead and got the bag on ebay and she kept the same bag in her closet for weeks after that! (which was btw, full of bags from Japanese sellers). Buttttt I think finally tradesy stepped in because all of her listings have been taken down and her closet is now empty. So I think she must've been cancelling so many sales that they deactivated all of her listings.
I hate cancelling sales, once I list something I don't even touch it. I cant believe people can list 100s of items they don't even own and hope they will eventually get them while having a pending sale! Now it makes sense why I see so many people complaining on the blogs that sales are either cancelled or taking 2 weeks to ship :/

Idk how people can sell high end items on ebay. I listed 10 bags up for auction that I couldn't sell on tradesy. 5 are pending payment with no responses from buyers (auction ended on Monday so I already opened cases), 1 already wants to return it, and 4 didn't sell even though starting bid was very low.
From now on definitely no more auctions, I feel like people bid and forget. I will only to buy it now with PAY IMMEDIATELY.

Sorry to hear that. It's unclear if she has the bag in procession, why does she need to steal your pictures and description? either way it's unacceptable and good luck with reporting her.

it's against TOU to sell the item that you don't have. that's why it's wise to ask for additional pictures with some peculiar details, I totally understand when buyers do that and I always comply.

LOL. I've noticed something like that, except the other listing appears just as I'm getting ready to list mine, and they're asking $5 - $10 dollars less than I was planning to charge.

I've also noticed sometimes the exact same bag (style and color) will be listed within an hour or so of each other by two entirely different sellers.

I don't use auctions any more. I used to, but winners didn't pay in about half cases. When they buy it now, most of them pay same minute they purchased the item. it seems like these are 2 totally different categories - the ones who want to grab smth as cheap as possible on auctions (not all of them, but a lot) and the ones who just find what they need and buy it.
