If I may.....
I wanted to add, that Poshmark will threaten you with closing your account (more or less), if you do not keep your nose in your own business, like they did to me. I guess after I posted a POLITE note on someones totally FAKE Coach bag, she not only got nasty in her reply, but reported me for harassment. There are real peaches over there.

Are you serious?! How ridiculous. Poshmark does not care about buyers apparently. $$$$$

Yes, I was shocked when I read their email, this happened soon after I had joined and thought that they would be an alternative to Ebay, well not.... So BUYER'S BEWARE.

@WishingonaCoach, not only will Poshmark threaten to close your account but sometimes they do so without warning, without any indication that you're banned and when one tries to buy or comment, an error message comes up that blames the seller!

In fact, there was a Poshmark member by the name of "Beenburned" who was tagged for an authentication opinion. And when she/I tried to comment, I found myself blocked with a message that the seller blocked me. Then I tried to contact the member who tagged me and got the same message and realized I was banned. (It happened with every message I tried to post.)

I finally realized that Poshmark doesn't even have the balls to accept responsibility for the ban; they blamed their members.

Comments: This creed and bag appears to be authentic to me. I searched as many pics as I could. I’ve been waiting and watching this style for over a year and really hoping I finally have one! Thanks!

I have read (multiple times so shame on me lol) how the authenticators do not recommend Poshmark due to them not removing fake bags. But the rest of this info is newish to me and is so sad and honestly angering. I didn’t know their mistreatment of customers and refusals of refunds runs so deep and I don’t like it. Again I thank the authenticators and others who take the time to help the rest of us and for repeating themselves until their blue in the face lol

I have said this many times here. These Authenticators here are the only thing standing between us and sellers that are ignorant , lazy and dishonest. Yeah.
I would not enjoy my fun collection of mostly vintage Coach if it was not for this thread.

Sorry, it's fake. Serial number prefixes K3H- and K4H- have never been found in any genuine Coaches. Both numbers are listed on the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List just posted here at tPF.
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/salearea-guides.983575/page-3#post-33239557

That "H" plant code for a US plant was permanently retired in 1998.

Thank you so much for the quick response! I’ll note those fake serial prefixes. I saw a backpack as well and knew it was fake because of J8H. Take care!
