Find number 2:

Item: Taft 9980
13 x 10 x 3.5

The zipper pull looks wrong and I'm hoping it's because of a repair or maybe Coach switched it up?View attachment 4529364View attachment 4529365View attachment 4529366View attachment 4529367

This is fake.

ETA: Compare the font on your bag to one from a month earlier from the D plant, supposedly where your bag was made:

Dang it! I think I knew it, but wanted to believe otherwise. Thank you so much.

The Tafts are so "well faked" that buyers of pre-owned bags need to really know what to look for.

In the past week, I've reported over a dozen fake Taft bags, including this one just moments ago.

Don't pay. It's fake.

And don't forget that posts need seller ID:

Omg! Thanks so much Beenburned.
And sorry for the sloppiness. I’ve never won an auction before so I wasn’t sure what to do.
How do I raise this with eBay?

Since you haven't paid, contact the seller and tell her you want to cancel because you've learned it's fake. (Refer her here if necessary.)

If she's smart, she should be very willing to cancel and hopefully, not relist it!

And for the record, here are a couple of pictures from the listing in case it gets removed.

Sellers really need to suck it up and realize how dangerous self-authentication is, especially to the health of their ebay accounts, but also, they need to consider their reputation when buyers find out they've been ripped off and paid good money for fakes.

The irony is that here on AT Coach, we DO help sellers who do the right thing and post their items before listing! (Many of the other brands of Authenticate this ... won't authenticate for sellers.) Yet, if they ever do come here, it's not usually until after they've had fakes removed or otherwise been caught, as happened with your purchase.

I know many have said this before, but I really appreciate you and the other Authenticators helping out buyers like me (and sellers too). Hopefully this seller learns his/her lesson.
