I went back to look at stevan01 's listings and all are sketchy!

Every listing uses either all stolen or a mix of stolen pictures plus his own. And in all listings (daypack, station, waverly), his own pictures show chain links with "curls." (I can't think of another way to describe them.) All have a weird large ring connecting the chain to the bag.

I'm curious to see @whateve's side by sides but in looking at the other seller's listing (whose pictures stevan01 stole), the bag charm looks good. And the few other listings I looked at all have thicker chains but the bags match.

It looks like on all the listings, the bags may have been missing the chains and jump ring and they were replaced with thinner replacements.

I wish you were able to inspect in person the ones I got from this seller, because they are "coarser" to the touch, and the shine is different. I understand that the shine could be different because of the conditions the charm was used, but also what a coincidence the charms this sellers has sold all needed the chain and ring replaced?

It's been three days now since I requested a return, and no word from him, not claiming they are real, not claiming ignorance, not saying.... "nothing".

No sorry, I didn't I only took the pictures I posted here. I already have the package sealed ready to be shipped back, not that he has responded yet.

Edited: I opened the package again, it will be worth it if it helps for authenticity purpose.

Hmm, I compared my pictures of the station bag and the links are considerably thicker (on mine) and the keyring looks more substantial.

I'm curious to see whateve's comps because I don't have the daypack to compare but although the bag looks good (to me), I do see the other differences you've noted.

here are my comps. Mine is on the left. I included a few extra pictures of mine to show how the ring should be attached to the handle of the bag rather than the straps, and where the hangtag should be attached. I think the curve of the straps is significantly different.

Thank you so very much whateve for taking the time to do this. Definitely a lot of more differences than just having to replace a damaged chain or ring.
I do not anticipate any problem getting my refund from Ebay, but if needed may I have your permission to use your pictures for comparison?
