Sigh.. someone snatched it... guess I should have just bought it....

aw... sorry, yeah, that was a good price for a plaza. It was just recently mentioned here about posting for authentication and being sniped. What I did was buy first then ask. They normally get back before it ships. So my thought is I could ask for a cancellation if the bag is fake.

Thanks for commiserating with me! Yeah I was about to just buy it too... but I was too slow. It stings but I guess it’s just not meant to be. In fact after this experience I think I am just going to take the plaza off my HG list...
 
Good evening,

Yes, it's fake.
Thank you once again. I appreciate your time .
You do know that you aren't stuck with it, right?

Open a return request/dispute and choose the "doesn't seem authentic" (ebay's words) as the reason. Seller will either accept the return and provide a prepaid shipping label, issue a refund without requiring return or she might do nothing. If the doesn't respond within the required timeframe, you can escalate for ebay to decide the case. You WILL win and WILL get all your money back.

I just did it! Exactly as you stated:-) Thank you again. I just didn't believe that a fake could be made in that style...what was I thinking . Now I know they all need to be authenticated smh. I appreciate you all!
 
Seller: ds39csmc
Comment: doesn't this look fake? I don't have this bag but I have the circle bag in this print.
I'm not sure about that backpack but the seller ds39csmc has sold other similar items as well as several fakes. DO NOT BUY FROM ds39csmc

Many of her listings have stolen stock pictures so who knows what you'll get if you buy something?

This is a very obvious fake sold by ds39csmc:

I don't believe this is authentic but it's a close fake:

This lot contains a mix of fake and authentic:

Fake wallet:
