Item: Coach Backpack

Listing number:121630382460

Seller: pat3182

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121630382460?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Comments: I purchased this on eBay and am re-selling it. I was contacted by a person who told me that the Coach did not make GAD serial numbers. this is from a person who stated:

"I am a vintage Coach collector, restorer and reseller, so that is why I am so curious"

I hope I listed the Link correctly, I'm not good at this. Sorry if I did it wrong.

First of all, it is against purse forum rules to post links to your own live listings. In the future, either ask before listing or just post the pictures here.

Whoever told you that was doing you a favor, giving you a chance to remove the listing before ebay does. They were right, the bag is fake. If you bought it recently on ebay, you should be able to get your money back.

I am so sorry I had no idea I was doing something wrong. But, the person who contacted me said to post it on Purse Forum. Also, that the hangtag was authentic.

That person was very nice. Most people would have just reported it; ebay would have removed it and put restrictions on your account. In the future, you can come here to get every potential designer brand purchase authenticated before you buy or list. This listing is also fake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-BROWN...207?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c51bb7207

The hangtag may or may not be authentic. It looks a little crooked to me. It is harder to tell on something like that. Sometimes sellers of fakes will put an authentic hangtag or dustbag with it to make it seem more authentic. Can you post the name of the seller you purchased it from?

You're welcome! Unless you are an expert, you need to have any designer item authenticated. The people who sold them to you may not have known they were fake but that is no excuse for you to be stuck with them.

Her fakes have now been removed. Maybe she's gotten the message now!

But I do have a warning. Don't burn those fakes. There's no telling what kind of toxins the counterfeiters used and you don't want to inhale any fumes or pollute the air.

Hello All
I used to be one of the Gucci vintage authenticators on this forum. I received an ebay message yesterday(from another member) telling me that this bag that I had listed is not authentic. I immediately took it off but I do think it is authentic. Can someone please take a look at it for me?
