I am back to reporting the counterfeits on eBay: I have filed a couple that have been successfully removed, but I need some help with a couple of listings for Sloanes - specifically, because of the quality of the pics.
So boxermom, and all Sloane experts, could you please take a look at these listings and let me know what you think?

The authenticity tag of this one has a color code for limo, though the seller says dk. brown. On the picture of the front of the tag, the edges show bumps, and does not appear transparent in the pics, but the back of the tag looks like the edges are not "bumpy". The numbered card is covered with the envelope so I cannot tell if it has a punch hole in it. What do you think?

I have asked seller for additional pictures for this one, though I looks bad to my eye.
I will not file unless and until I believe that these are counterfeits. I really wish that eBay would require sellers of handbags and jewelry to post a number and kind of photos for all things that are known to be counterfeited. Truly, I do not want this to be my full time occupation, but we know that this bag is one of the most counterfeited bags around. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
