The listing is gone (removed) but yes, once something is confirmed as fake, you can post there.

To report, there's a "report" button in every listing. It's about half way down the page on the right.

(I still had the window open for that listing. See screen shot.)

The bag is authentic.

For bags made in 1994 and later, "serial numbers" aren't unique. Another bag of the same style (in whatever color) made in the same month/year and factory can have the same serial number. Serial numbers don't differentiate colors.

Reading this thread and examining the bags I bought. When you have them in your hand, you see and feel things that can't be seen in pictures. Most of the fakes I've handled don't feel right. That made me look at them closer and discover where there were differences from the real thing.

When we tell you something is fake, look at it closely and see if you can figure out all the things on it that are wrong.

Hi! I just bought this Dreamer 36 bag from a Goodwill last night. When I got home I noticed the bag had a stronger smell than any of the other bags I've gotten at Goodwill before, so I wanted to double check if it was real. The bag is still sold on the Coach website and the majority of the photos on their website match pretty well, but the creed on the website photo follows the new format of not having the serial number on the story tag. The bag I bought has the number stamped on the patch.

It looks okay to me.

Other opinions are welcome.

If you're asking about the Rambler legacy from Poshmark, it's either British Tan or Camel. Guessing colors from photos isn't very accurate, many things can change how a color looks on a phone or computer compared to real life including what condition the leather is in, there's color variation in the seller's photos. Wait until you get the bag.

Hi Hyacinth! Got the bag finally. Can you tell me what this colour is?

Hi can you help me authenticate this suede coach bag. In the creed it says split suede? I think this is unusual? D043- 9336 no seller just a goodwill find. Please accept my apologies if I am posting this wrong.
