eBay item #273355797565
Seller: lkilmore_6

Could you take a look at these hangtags for me? The black seems possibly suspect. Does not have characteristics of leather. Maybe just from a line I’m unfamiliar with?

Added 2 of my own pics in outdoor light.

OMG, I bought them, returned them in SNAD, reported after they’ve been relisted... and here they are again.

Hang tags can sometimes be really hard to authenticate because they're pretty easy to copy.

My first thought was that the black one looks odd to me. I'm interested in what @Hyacinth and @whateve think.

My second concern is a bit more worrisome. We've seen genuine hang tags where the two halves have separated so there are 2 pieces.

My concern is that lkilmore_6 separated the halves from 2 hang tags (authentic or not) and sold each half separately, thereby selling 4 hang tags instead of two. (IMO, that's not ethical.)
This is the listing you bought on July 15:
VINTAGE COACH LEATHER SET OF 2 MEDIUM CHARM NAME TAGS BLACK BROWN VERY VERY NICE

This is another identical listing with the same pictures, sold on June 4:
VINTAGE COACH LEATHER SET OF 2 MEDIUM CHARM NAME TAGS BLACK BROWN VERY VERY NICE

And this also identical listing was sold on May 6:
VINTAGE COACH LEATHER SET OF 2 MEDIUM CHARM NAME TAGS BLACK BROWN VERY VERY NICE

Here is the pic of the black one that I provided in my SNAD dispute - you can see the fabric backing, the very even weaving texture. It’s not leather.

Done and done. Already received full refund from eBay while still drinking morning coffee!

Although I was pretty sure that (at least) the black one was fake, I hadn't reported because hangtag construction isn't always cut and dried. I was also pretty certain that they'd both been part of a double-sided hang tag that was separated.

But having now seen @Minchanka 's picture, I can firm that the black on is fake. And the fact that Minchanka got a refund and the seller relisted tells me that lkilmore_6 knew what she was doing.

@Couturexec, have you verified that the money is in your paypal account? Have you left feedback?

Well, I wouldn’t have checked, I just assumed.
But, since you asked, yes. eBay refunded full amount including shipping.
I’ll leave feedback now. Red???

Actually, that explains why there are TWO previous sales.

First sale was to a buyer who probably doesn't realize she got a fake, second sale was to Minchanka who returned and third sale was this one.

Too late. They removed the listing from my purchases.

@whateve - How does she leave feedback for an item for which a refund has been issued? The listing was NOT removed?

@Couturexec - Whateve has explained how this can be done. THere's a workaround to get to it. (If a listing is removed, you cannot leave feedback but if it's not removed and merely refunded, you should be able to leave it.)
