If the pictures shown are your own pictures of the bag you received, it looks good. However I also like to be able to look at a seller's other listings but fossil_addicted's pictures are private and I can't see her album.

Hello!

Item: Coach 10650 Leather Legacy Slim Tote
(In my possession)

I posted this bag on eBay yesterday and it was removed for being inauthentic. I didn't check here first because to me it seemed authentic albeit in bad condition. If it is fake, mea culpa! I bought in on eBay months ago as a project bag but it is beyond my skill. Please take a look at these pics and let me know if it's fake. If it is, I'll just harvest it for hardware. If it's not, is there anything I can do about eBay thinking I listed a fake? I really only use eBay to clean out my closet, so I don't have tons of selling history. Thanks in advance!

I have received the actual thing and am harbouring a little hope that it may be authenticate. Otherwise i will return it. Need your expertise again to authenticate it.

There are at least 100 different items on the page the link goes to, and all the Coach pictures are stolen without permission from Coach's website. None of them can be authenticated with just one stolen stock photo. Maybe it's a browser problem, but I can't open any item by clicking on it, and there doesn't seem to be any way to search for a single item with the listing number you included.

Also, many of the Kate Spde photos say that the item you receive will have a different style number than the item in the website photo. So how do you know what you're actually buying?

I would NEVER buy from any seller who steals another company's legally protected copyrighted photos. I'm sure international copyright and trademark violations are just as illegal in Singapore as they are in the USA.
 
lol assuming you were replying to me :smile:

Yes I was - sorry!

There were some posts about 2 weeks ago at Ebay's own Fashion forum where at least 3 sellers were complaining about Ebay removals of Coach items because of price, and then another one just recently where Ebay removed a genuine Coach claiming it was fake. I have NO idea what kind of idiots are running their what-used-to-be Trust And Safety Department because no one seems to know what's going on or why they're being reported.

Well...
So I have called eBay and spoken to their Listing Department people. They won't tell me why it was removed but I suspect it is only because I listed it at $10 starting bid. The leather is in terrible condition, which I disclosed, so I do not believe it is worth much more than that. Honestly, I think it's probably only worth its hardware. So I stated that I had only purchased this from eBay on May 13 (feels longer!) and it wasn't flagged then. So I stated that if they aren't going to let me relist, then eBay should refund my previous purchase. They ask if I want to start a refund, and I said yes. So then, they start a refund, and forward me to another department. It's when I'm talking to that department that I realize they want the previous seller to refund me. I said, no, it's not the previous seller's fault that you incorrectly flagged this as inauthentic. I do NOT want the previous seller to pay for this. So they send me back to the listings people and I talk to another person who tells me they have "secret Coach information" (I'm afraid I may have repeated that back to her with clearly audible quotation marks surrounding it) that shows this bag is inauthentic and that they can't reveal it to me because they don't want it to get out to people who create fake bags. So I said I wanted to speak to someone else higher up and she said she'd have them call me back.

In the meantime, the poor previous seller contacted me about the return that was started inadvertently so I'm communicating with that person and they are understandably annoyed. I have apologized, but asked if they have any documentation to help me out. I don't really care about the money..." Oh, ebay is calling back! More later...

So they won't tell me what's wrong, they won't let me relist, and they won't admit they are wrong. I'm closing my ebay account.

ps - sorry for melodrama - I just get annoyed with bad customer service and multi-million dollar companies wanting to punish innocent people like the seller. Ugh. I did close my account - it will save me from buying anyway. I'll stick to yard sales and thrift stores for a while. :smile:
