Genuine, but won't be "vintage" for another 6 years since it was only made in 2005

Note that the seller says she's shipping in a padded flat rate envelope. If she's going to fit it in, she'll have to fold it to stuff it in (and that's assuming it'll fit). I don't know whether you want a squished bag.

Your link doesn't work but I found the seller through Google.

I don't know which one was the listing you bought:
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/ea2601/m.html?LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684

Aha! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Swag...524420?hash=item3fc820ad84:g:jl4AAOSwrjtcstcK

It looks good to me.

The first seller is not recommended. The other two are authentic.

I purchased this Station Bag, but am now a bit puzzled. The Coach creed is stamped on the inside of the gusseted pocket, with the "Coach Leatherware" part of the creed visible over the top of the pocket. I've never seen that before! Is it authentic? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the authentication. As for the first seller, I was just looking at how many vintage Coach bags she has for sale, and was wondering to myself if she was selling off her collection? It seemed too good to be true...

No, she buys preowned bags to re-sell and doesn't bother to authenticate them. There are two pages of posts about her if you use the Seach feature here at TPF and that's just in the Coach categories, she's been mentioned a number of times for selling fakes and also by people from whom she's bought bags for resale. She's NOT selling her own collection and doesn't even describe her bags accurately. Read the posts. Here's just one from a few years ago:

It's genuine. Very early Station Bags were stamped that way because they didn't have inside pockets. Sometimes later versions also were stamped the same way even after inside pockets were added to the style.

I believe this one was made in the late 1980s.

Wait for more opinions but I'm seeing several MAJOR red flags there. The price tag doesn't look right and there are several items that I've only seen recently in known fakes especially from Japanese sellers. The creed patch is raising red flags too.

There also isn't any photo of either the "Made in ..." tag or the other tag with 2 lines of production codes. Post Number one of this thread tells you where to look for them.

Was this from Ebay, and was it Ebay US or from some other country? I'm not getting any record of the listing in Completed or Open listings. Please provide the URL and the seller's name, which is required information as stated in Post Number One. If that bag is fake, I hope you can get your money back
