Of COURSE they do! At least 20 percent of listings are Copied and Pasted from someone else's listings, and Ebay can be blamed for a good part of it since they actually SUGGEST listings for a seller to copy if certain keywords are the same in both. That's why you can find hundreds of listing descriptions with incorrect colors or serial numbers that don't even sound like the bag being sold. And that's one reason why so many Coach listings have wrong names or places and years of manufacture - someone is copying someone else, even if they're selling 2 very different styles. "If it's small and has a turnlock, it must be a Dinky", even when it ain't. That happens with both real and fake bags.

Don't ever EVER assume that a seller knows what he or she is talking about and has done any actual research on what they're selling other than using Ebay's disastrous short cut or looking for a bag or item that "kinda looks like" the one they're selling. Probably at least 20 or 25 percent of Coach bags on Ebay are misidentified or incorrectly described. Other venues like Posh, Tradesy, Mercari, Etsy, etc, are even worse. It's easy to get spoiled here at tPF because a very large percentage of members here actually know what they're talking about and can tell a Dinky from a Pocket Purse, but it's not like that in the Real World. And the waters are muddied even more by sellers who throw 3 or 4 different style names into their listing titles so they show up on even more Searches.

BTW, thanks for the magnetic snap photo. Even more proof that it's genuine. :flowers:

Good points! The listing I posted earlier said the bag was a Regina but it was a Metropolis.

Could you kindly have a look at this Ebay listing for me? I'm considering the offer I was sent. Is this a classic or lightweight bag?

Many thanks!

Be sure to include seller IDs in your request.

I'll go a step further regarding Poshmark seller daniellealter.

Not only is the red bag fake but daniellealter has other fakes, clearly not verifying the legality and authenticity prior to listing.

She has this fake: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-Brown-leather-crossbody-bag-5f126699c693bd82354b5f85
and this one: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...mpson-Drawstring-bag-5f5b8dd706d59ca038de63db
and this: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-off-white-leather-crossbody-bag-5efd50f0a4de41c3eaf79c23
and this: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-black-leather-crossbody-bag-5efe510f67bd91d5acf90282

DO NOT BUY FROM daniellealter.

Can you take a look at this backpack I picked up? I questioned a few things like the buckles, the backside of the flap hardware and the creed saying made in United States with a P plant code. For $20 I was willing to take the chance and I will definitely use it even if not authentic. I cleaned it up and the leather feels nice. Thanks so much!
