How can you tell? There were 3 offers, but they seem to be from the same buyer and were all declined?

This seller accepted two offers from tpf members at the same time.

One started a thread and two very observant members caught it.

After many phonecalls to paypal, seller apparently got scared and refunded the second buyer and sold to the first. The first buyer received the authentic bag.

How can you tell? There were 3 offers, but they seem to be from the same buyer and were all declined?

The first buyer was melissa and she might have contact info/phone etc.

Hopefully she will see these posts and respond.

That means the seller listed an authentic item but swapped with another one when he/she shipped. R-O is a very famous scammer on the forum. She scammed over 10 buyers, and most of them were tPFers. She joined the forum and earne some trust. She either sold one bag several times to different buyers, or sent them fake ones.

This is a terrible situation and I hope you work this out.

HandbagAngel, I'm an English teacher, so bear with my nit-picking: it's "bait and switch": they reel you in "BAIT" you with one thing, and then give you another. You have the concept correct, but it's BAIT, not BAIL. Now you'll hate me, I know, but am truly trying to be helpful

It is greenish because of the brass hardware rubbing

the seller claims it's from some mark, either a pen or the zipper pull - not sure. but the mark is green so that's a little weird...

Hmmmmmm, Ladies not sure if you remember the drama... this was the listing I bought my bag from...... uh oh.... was there only 1 real bag? the one I have????

the style number is for a SGH PT, but is this bag a city or a PT? by the auction pics, it's supposed to be a city bag.

also, the stamping is really deep and that is NOT TYPICAL of a tag stamp

what is this bag - a city or a PT?

Ah, Jira, I actually owe you a special thank you--after seeing photos of your Tomato Day in the red colors reference library a couple weeks, I knew Tomato was the right red for me. Fortuitously this one popped up a few days later. Yippee!

The first buyer was melissa and she might have contact info/phone etc.

I have a pic of the shipping box.... it has all the info on it......

If somebody is looking at this auction note that the first pic is a city and second one a first
