IMPORTANT READ-ME

Please see post #1 for complete Balenciaga authentication rules. All requests must be posted in this thread. Authentications are not done via private message or in any other thread.

See the link below for examples of the photos needed and the format they should be in (clear, close up, forward-facing, no angles, right way up, no bends in tags).

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-balenciaga-authentication.741442/

A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!

Authentic in my opinion. S/S 2009 mandarin First if the colour in the poster's pics is more accurate than the additional pics.

My pleasure, sorry the news wasn’t better!

I'll keep looking, hopefully I'll report back with some happier news next time!

Just tried talking to the seller to request a refund but she got quite explosive about it claiming that she'd bought it from a reputable secondhand luxury store and that she herself didn't know it was fake, and that no returns were accepted. Well I hadn't intended on returning it either but I'm not toting a fake bag around! So I submitted a Paypal refund request (thank god I paid with G&S because I've had bad experiences with Ebay in the past) and now she's trying to make me feel bad by claiming I've wasted so much of her time with mailing the item out etc - as if she hadn't wasted my time with her fake bag. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to share why it's so important to pay with Paypal G&S for preloved bags!

I know the store is an authorized seller. But I was concerned about the inside tag that only says Balenciaga instead of Balenciaga Paris. Pictures are attached.

If you have any problems you may need a paid authentication but eBay has it's own authenticators and anyone who knows Balenciaga will have no problem calling that bag a fake. Let us know how you make out!
