Hi all,
Can you please help me to authenticate this Coach bag?
Item: Coach Signature City
Listing number: 122433336643
Seller: iplaygamez419
Link: here
Comments: there are 2 seller (iplaygamez419 and faast2014) with exact item (pictures and item description) made me wonder whether this is authentic or not.

Thank you

In a case like this, please post links and seller IDs of both listings:
1. Seller: iplaygamez419
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-L...=item1c81987543:g:XysAAOSwuLZY5ZuB&rmvSB=true

2. Seller: faast2014
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-L...177000?hash=item3f796dc668:g:EfwAAOSw4shX9DkN

I thought there was a possibility but it was the same seller with 2 selling IDs but that's not the case.
Seller #1 is from Ohio and Seller #2 is from Texas.

Next step is to determine which is the picture AND description thief. And that would be seller #1,
iplaygamez419.

I don't recommend iplaygamez419.

The bag from faast2014, the seller who uses her own pictures is authentic.

It's not a Carly but "Carly," "Bonnie Cashin," "vintage" and other key words are often used and don't apply to the items they're attached to.

So far, I don't see any red flags but there's another picture that the seller should show. Inside the bag, probably inside the zipper pocket should be a white tag with the production information. (The first post of the thread tells the pictures that are needed in a listing with a note about bags made after 2014 that include creeds without serial numbers.)

I would focus on the missing letter in the creed as that seems like something Paypal would accept as proof of the defect. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Let us know how it comes out.

Paypal just sent me an email saying to return the bag for a full refund. But now the seller just gave me a different address to return it to then PayPal did and she said when she gets the bag she is going to file a claim against me...

I'm confused. The shipping address she gave you isn't the one she has on her PP account? If there's a different address, you need to call PP to get direction from them on what to do. Make sure they put notes on the account.


Once you ship to the address that paypal tells you to ship to and tracking shows delivery, you should get the refund. If she doesn't issue the refund, you can call paypal to have them release your money.

I'm not sure what she's going "file a claim against you" about. You did nothing wrong and she's just upset about being caught. You exercised your rights to file a dispute through paypal after kyyjamie cheated ebay of its fees and took the transaction off-site. (PLEASE learn your own lesson from this too!)

Hello everyone! I need your expertise please .... I have two bags that I got from the GW and can't seem to find much info on them. Could you take a look at these and let me know if they are real? I don't want to bother trying to clean them up if they aren't.

I will post in seperate posts due to the amount of pics.

Thanks again for you help!

Bag # 1 ... very curious about this one

It's an authentic Station bag made between 1989 and 1993.

Okay, I fibbed ... I have a third one from Costa Rica I would like authenticated. The A1P looks a little wonky to me but that may be the norm.

Approximately 9 3/4" long x 9 1/2" high to the center of the bag with a 22" strap drop.

Thanks again and that really is the last one for today :)

Yeah the shipping address that paypal told me to send the bag back to is different then the one she gave me. She sent another e-mail to me and gave me a different address which is the same address on the package just different on her paypal account so maybe she forgot to update her e-mail on her paypal? Not sure but I will ask paypal what to do. I sent them an e-mail but maybe calling them is better? She e-mailed me her address after paypal sided with me and said that she will file a claim after she gets the bag because she doesn't think she should have to refund because she guarantees that its authentic. But I don't understand why she is going through all this trouble if she said she bought the bag herself new and if there is a flaw in it that I should be able to take it up to Coach myself to exchange it then why is it such a big problem for her that she doesn't just get the bag back and return it herself and get her money back instead of going through all the trouble to file another claim against me so she doesn't have to refund my money? I actually lose out more money because I actually had to pay extra money since she didn't cover the full cost of the package and shipped it as a flat rate envelope when it wasn't so I had to pay the mailman the extra that wasn't covered when he came and I also have to send it back and pay for the shipping myself... Yes I have learned my lesson and I never thought about it as cheating ebay of its fees and now I feel guilty and wish I never did it. She had it for best offer on ebay and I put in an offer and she said she would only accept that price if I paid straight through paypal and I did because I just wanted the bag really bad and it seemed like a good deal and didn't think it through. But I won't ever do that again. It wasn't worth it trying to save more money.... Thanks for your help!
