Not sure where to post this but felt I had warn others. I just spent over $2300 on a bag from Salwa B. on Tradesy. I do not want to go into the details but I am pretty confident she is a fraud selling fakes. I am not here to argue with anyone but just to warn other so they are as foolish as I was.
I am new to Purse Forum and only on here to warn others. I believe I was sold a fake by Salwa B. on Tradesy. I am in the process of proving it but I will. I am only on here to warn others. I am out over $2300 and hope that I can prevent here from scamming someone else.
You "believe" you were sold a fake? Did you have it authenticated?
Ok, well I guess I can't spell! Yes I went to college. Salwa b is a fraud not a "freud". I accepted the bag and to me it is a "super fake". it has a date code and tags but it smelled like plastic and the the stitching was just a little off. Of course I am not in any position to authenticate it and according to Tradesy it is authentic. I have requested the bag back. I intend to send it into LV repair to get a final answer. But still why would there be no receipt and why would Salwa b post a bag as "sold out everywhere" when it wasn't. And, why wouldn't she just cancel the order when I kindly requested that before I even received the bag. Oh, that's right, so a fool like me could spend $200 over retail on a fake bag.
*sigh*
It's always "I believe" followed by no legitimate proof.

Sellers can write whatever they want in terms of "rare" or "sold out". Maybe she thought it was sold out, or when she listed it, it was sold out. Who knows, but that isn't important. As a buyer you need to educate yourself in the things that you are buying. Don't just blindly buy and then blame the seller. No one forced you to buy it.
As for cancelling, the seller is not obligated to cancel a sale once it has been approved. In fact, too many cancellations can result in your account being suspended by Tradesy, so the seller wouldn't be doing herself any favors by cancelling the transaction for you.
If you haven't had the bag professionally authenticated, I suggest that you do that first before you go around accusing the seller of being a scammer. There have been many cases where buyers *believe* something was fake and it turned out to be completely authentic. I'm not saying that there isn't a chance that it is fake, but until that is proven, I would refrain from using the word "scammer".
Disclaimer: I don't know Salwa B, I've never done business with Salwa B and I have no idea whether she sells authentic items, AAA fakes or a mix of fake or authentic items.
What I do know is that you're the second newbie (or the same newbie with a second ID) who has come to this thread accusing the seller of selling fake Louis Vuitton bags without presenting any evidence to back up your (or her) accusations. And THAT is what I have a problem with!
Anyone who reads my posts knows that I have no patience for dishonest sellers who cheat buyers but I also have problems with buyers who accuse sellers of peddling fakes without proof of such. (In fact, someone came to AT Coach today after being accused of selling a fake Coach bag on Poshmark. The bag is NOT fake but the buyer hasn't come to post to express her concerns.) In other words, I'm an equal-opportunity hater!
Again, you're the second person in 3 weeks who has made this accusation without anything to back up your opinion. (If I were a gambling gal, I'd guess you're one and the same!)
This is the first post by another poster, Sttephaniexmarie whose posts, posting style and accusations are eerily similar. Starts here and continues:

Again, you may very well be correct in your assumption but you cannot accuse before making sure your assumptions are correct!
No, I think it's probably authentic, but I just really was bothered by the whole transaction. I don't like paying someone a ton of money who outright lied to me. It ruined my excitement over the purchase.
That's the first thing I thought too. It's odd that two different people would join just to slam the same seller, especially since it is rare that individual sellers are discussed in this thread at all.

Here is the link to the bag she's referring too. Buyer messaged me to cancel AFTER the bag was already shipped and was already in route. She came on here after Tradesy released my funds and let her know it was Authentic. Anyone that sells knows that you cannot cancel a transaction when it's already been shipped. I wanted to also note that as a business seller, we are no longer able to cancel transactions even before shipment as our accounts will be put on probation. WE have a 3 percent cap on cancellations per new Tradesy business seller guidelines. Thank you to everyone on this forum that appreciates how hard it is to build a trustworthy seller reputation and detests the ones that try to defame hard working and honest sellers for no reason.
Best Wishes,
Salwa B

Again, I only signed up for purse forum to warn others, not to argue. Salwa B could not produce a receipt and claimed the reason for this is that she "the owner had many other items on the receipt". Why would she sell a new bag for someone else for minimum profit to said person or herself. Makes no sense. I have never bought or sold a bag without a copy of receipt attached. I intend to recover the bag from easy and send it in to an LV repair location and then Salwa B. will be exposed for the fraud she is. I am done on this site. Again, I just wanted to warn others.
