Cancelling an order if you learn the bag is fake is the right thing to do. You're saving yourself and the seller the hassle of a return.

eBay has a one hour cancellation window...for any reason.

I didn’t know that about eBay! I sell on eBay. So if a buyer cancels within the window does that put the item in any sort of limbo? Can it be reposted immediately?

I’m sorry for going off topic here, I can move this to another thread if need be.

When you accept the cancellation, the item will automatically be relisted.

As I understand it, a seller isn't obligated to cancel though. Most sellers do agree to cancel because rather than force a buyer to complete a transaction they don't want, they risk the buyer filing SNAD or finding another reason to return the item.

Great someone purchased my bag 4 mins ago. I had a feeling purse sniping happened in here. Le sigh.

Edit: just wanted to clarify I do NOT mean the authenticators, I am forever grateful that they share their knowledge for FREE to fellow Coach fans. I more meant lurkers who read this thread lol

Sorry it happened to you.
I totally understand how you feel, because it has happened to me too a couple times, so first I thought it was just a coincidence, but afterwards I realize someone watches the thread and snatches the "deals".
It is a risk we all take when we ask, although I didn't say anything here back then, I stopped asking for authentications till I got stuck in a very bad Ebay return battle with a totally nasty seller that kept harassing me.
This was a couple years ago, I learned that is better to risk it, and helpful to know the cancellation window of the different sites.
I hope you can find another one.

It's genuine, made in 1998

Thank you!

Argh I HATE that! It has happened to me a lot lately. Not the authentication and someone grabbing it, but people sniping me at the last second.

I hate that when it happens, I have actually purchased bags and then had them authenticated. Posh has a 3 hour window you can cancel. Probably not a nice thing to do, luckily I have only had to cancel once because the bag was fake.

(Meant as a reply to SYREN, sorry!)
It definitely wasn't me. Cute bag, but I like mine to have a lot more room. Anyway I was probably fighting with the FOS site trying to get my order verified - finally scored my "Grumpy" purse charm, and a "Sleepy" one too. I'm usually either one or the other.. Fingers crossed that both are still available!

I'm so sorry this happened to you, that was one of the fears I faced when I stumbled over my red Willis plus the fact that it was after 11:30 pm at night and the rediculous low buy it now price.Nobody should expect to have a bag looked at in the middle of the night.Plus the sheer folly of buying something without a creed picture.
It's not something I recomend doing,It turned out well for the seller and my own dumb self.

I do hope you find an even better deal.

Thanks everyone! I’m thinking it wasn’t meant to be and I’ll find something even better!

Fake, the seller gives the serial number as H4B-0511 which is an often-used number in fakes that belongs only to a completely different International Travel Bag, pictured below. The creed and serial stamping is also totally wrong

It's fake. This is a good example of what we refer to as elephant skin leather.

I understand it as within an hour the seller has to cancel except if the item has already shipped.
