Thank you so much Hyacinth, I remember the "Coach made mistakes" LOL, but I wanted to make sure.

And now it is sold.... a coincidence? Third time it happens to me after I ask for authentication.

This has happened to me too. It's a risk, unfortunately.

In some cases you might be able to ask the seller to hold the item for you pending authentication. Or, you can go ahead and buy it, and ask to cancel the sale if it's determined to be fake. If it's too late to cancel and the seller ships it to you, you will have the hassle of a return, which will probably go in your favor, but it IS a hassle (more so on some sites than others).

It's funny (and coincidental) that you mention that because there's a similar post on ebay's fashion board just posted a few hours ago.

She won an auction for a Balenciaga bag and paid for it.

Then buyer posted on TPF, got a "fake" determination and requested that the seller hold off shipping until she got another opinion because if it was confirmed as fake, she didn't want it.

Seller refunded the payment and relisted the bag when the buyer said she was going to get more opinions and a pro.
