Have you already purchased the bag?

While I think the pictures may show an authentic bag, there more pictures that are needed as well as there are things about the seller, mikestage that bother me.

I'd also like @houseof999 to look at the listing.

1. I'm not sure which of the pictures in the listings (others too) are his own because some pictures appear to be stolen from other sources/websites. Many listings show stock images, IMO a huge no-no for highly faked styles as well as the fact that infringing on the rights owner is wrong.
2. Seller isn't completely honest about source of at least some of the bags in his listings. For example, while this bag and this one are boutique styles, seller states in listing "Bought at retail store - Not outlet bag," the seller did NOT buy at a retail store. As indicated on the price tags in both listings, the bags came from the outlets. (There's nothing wrong with selling an outlet bag or a bag that was sent to outlets; my issue is with the dishonest statement regarding the source.)
3. Listing pictures aren't adequate. Seller doesn't show creeds or made in labels in listings.

I just saw the seller has multiple quantities of the same bag available. I am guessing he/she uses the same pics to sell each bag instead of individually listing each bag and the photos of the exact bag for sale.

I agree there isn't enough shown in the pictures to be able to authenticate the bag. The seller doesn't show Creed patch or the little tag with serial numbers from inside the kisslock pocket. The use of the stock photos are also confusing as the hardware shown in the stock photo (2nd pic) doesn't match the hardware of the bag. Also I noticed the seller shows one style number on the tag but has different style number on the listing's title.

I would like to see the photos of the actual Creed patch and the serial tag and a close up pic of the kisslock hardware.

@Vivian R. Singson -- I was hoping you'd come back with more information. But since you haven't returned, I'll comment. Since you're clearly reading (having been last active just hours ago), please follow up.

I don't know where you're getting these items but you've already learned that your Dior wallet and Coach wallet that you bought from the "individual seller" are fakes.

Without going into detail, I'm sure both Coach bags are fake and I recommend against buying from that "individual" and if you've already bought, please do NOT resell!

I'm curious about this keychain and am looking for other opinions.

Coach 3D handbag keychain (supposed to be 1743)
seller mabby221
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NWOT-Coach-Enamel-3D-Pink-Handbag-Purse-Key-Chain-RARE-Metal/332761459209
Item number 332761459209

Concerns: Sloppy enameling, wrong shade of pink, font on front of hangtag is wrong, missing "made in China" from back of hang tag. It looks like the seller purposely avoided showing the (probable existence) of the indentation on the lozenge.

Comps - The lilac one shows my own pictures and the pink is from my records. I didn't have a picture of the back of the pink (authentic) one:

I agree it looks terrible. I've bought from that seller before. She has a ton of keychains for sale. It is interesting that she says this one is from her personal collection. I don't own this style. I think the hangtag is definitely fake and the charm probably is too. If you look in the second picture, from that angle I think you should be able to see part of the Coach logo on the bottom of the purse but there is nothing.

Comment: Good evening! I appreciate the help with authenticating! I am new to this and I have searched for hours and can’t make heads or tails of if it is genuine or fake. Thank you in advance! Apologies if I messed up the format, I tried to follow page 1 but I will gladly repost if needed!
