Beware that Lisa - lisa_gutman on Poshmark doesn't verify authenticity of her items and mixes authentic items and fakes.

She has this fake:
https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Black-SignatureLeather-Buckle-Trifold-5ca8f927adb58dc6eb356738

and she sold this fake:
https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-...th-Leather-Trim-Hobo-5c9933a20cb5aae66c26d131

I assume everything sold on Poshmark is fake now after I got burned (my fault, I should have had it checked out before buying - live and learn). I will always have a more experienced eye check it out here first before I buy, then I'll have the bag I actually receive authenticated so I can avoid the 'bait and switch' thing. Thanks for the heads up though! <3

No, not everything is fake and not every seller is dishonest.

The problem is that Poshmark does NOTHING to keep buyers and sellers honest so many sellers who've either been kicked off ebay or other more proactive sites or have had listings removed from other sites know they can get away with listing their items on Poshmark and not have to worry (much) about consequences.

Yeah, the seller who sold the fake coach to me is still selling like normal on Poshmark - so you're right. Just better to have it looked at before buying. It saves a lot of hassle. This forum has been so wonderful, I really appreciate the help. :)

May I please have help with this purse if possible? There might not be enough photos to authenticate. It has the unspaced serial number, which I read in the guide can sometimes happen, so it’s caught my eye. Thanks!

It's authentic. It looks like a basic bag, style 9455.

Dear Authenticators,
I purchased this lot of four purses from Shopgoodwill.com. I'm not including the link because Goodwill's pictures were useless. I would appreciate your thoughts. Posting each separately to simplify.
