If you purchase a counterfeit on ebay, you can still open a case to get your money back, either through ebay or Paypal, or your credit card company as a last resort, as long as you don't wait too long. I don't see any problems with either of them. I would need to see a clearer picture of the entire creed of the second one to authenticate it.

A very difficult location. But this is better. Thanks so much.

Hello, I am brand new here and to all things Coach. I purchased a couple of PW bags from Ebay in May: not knowing that PWs are so easy to fake. I'm a little nervous now. Anyway, I'm a seamstress so I have some ideas on what I can do with the bags if they are fake. I just need to know either way. Thanks for your assistance.

This fake came up in one of my searches, kindly confirm before I report, TIA!

Crikey, what a MESS! Bad sloppy uneven stitching, wrong hardware and strap mounting, wrong style number, a year code that's at least 5 years too recent for the style it's pretending to be, and an invalid plant code that belonged ONLY to a Mexico plant.

Report away!
