Notes: it's listed as a prescott, but if it's authentic I'm almost positive it's an Organizer Brief.

I had that same issue, messaged the seller, and then it appeared in the listing. But I've copied it here:

I've had that problem with Mercari listings several times. It seems that half the time only the first 5 pictures are visible for me, but others can see them. It makes me wonder how many people can't see all the pictures in my listings.

I hit the down arrow and the rest of the pictures were there.
 

you're not delusional. Where's the eye bleach? It is horrible!

I was afraid to reply least there be someone out there who likes it.

It's gone!
 
Item: AUTHENTIC COACH YELLOW SUEDE PEAR KEY CHAIN GUC MADE IN ITALY!
Listing number: 373000177646
Seller: ggerg23

Comment: I have never seen a Coach fob like this pear, but it's cute and it looks vintage and it is stamped "Made in Italy" so I got it (BIN $20, includes shipping). Please give an opinion about authenticity and I would also appreciate any information you may have about this item - did Coach make other Italian fobs like this pear? Thanks in advance!

It's genuine from around maybe 2002-04. There's nothing about it in my files.

Be extremely careful with things like tags and especially keychains with boxes that have what seem to be Italian labels or words, many of them are really bad fakes and things like metal or enamel keychains were NOT made in Italy AFAIK. The few suede and leather ones that were are usually pretty well worn because they're some of the oldest styles.

Here's an example of a very fake box with what looks like Italian words
