Seller jycjes.eoi9mtfpv should BE AVOIDED, They seem to have nothing but fake Coach keychains.

The "Princess keychain" in this Completed listing:
171759267598
http://www.ebay.com/itm/coach-princ...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

and in this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-lot-coach...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

SHOULD look like the first picture below, style 66320, Crown Multi Mix Key Ring. Wrong number of links in the main chain, wrong size of the top link, should only have ONE Key and ONE Crown charm, size and font on the Padlock Charm and the font on the Hangtag charm are all wrong, and there should be 11 links in the chain instead of just 9.

Second and third pics were posted by a tPF'er here:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-cl...ey-ring-clubhouse-765927-70.html#post24861126

(I'll try to check the others a bit later, my computer is telling me that it needs a break)

Thank you. That's what I thought. If we report the ones we know are fake, is there anything we can do about the others we can't prove are fake?
Click to expand...

No. We should never report fakes unless we can prove it.

Remember this one? I wasn't sure before but I'm sure now, it has the same phony fonts on the Hangtag and Padlock charms as the one in my earlier post. Take a good look at the fonts.

Same Completed styles, also report as fake if you can:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Womens-Acce...XgcUfSbM%2B5dR8ZOXzuo%3D&_from=R40&_nkw=coach

ETA - CORRECTION - there's a similar version with pink details too but only with a Brass chain, NOT Brass charms and silver links like the sellers, and the chain links are much too thin. The bottom charm is very cheaply mdae and with much less detail on the fake. Style 63854
Seller's fake is on the right:

I'm interested in another opinion on this seller's listing. The keychain has been faked pretty well and I'm doubtful of both of the items in the choice listing, specifically, the imprint on the insole heel.

She does state that she added the clips so obviously, they aren't (and weren't) original to the fobs.

Opinions?

I believe that a side-by-side comparison offers a better illustration of the differences I'm seeing.

Before I scrolled down and looked at your comparison pictures, I pulled out mine and the first thing I noticed is that the oval is the wrong shape, or is it that the lozenge is too small? Now that I look at it closer, I see the edge at the bottom isn't very even. I agree, they are fake. I was watching those too, but since I wasn't considering buying them I didn't look very close.

ETA: BTW, this style has a Coach lozenge on the back even though it is on the front.
ETA2: Is it my imagination but don't the fakes look wider than the real one?

Thanks BeenBurned
I just had a buyer challenge me and scammed me to give a refund
this buyer ( who is also a seller) quoting here " this is a fake it has a made in China tag and I will report you to ebay"
I did tell her about 99% of coach bags are now made in China ! just was not worth my top rated standing to fight her:nogood:
But anyway as I said Thanks so much for your quick reply if only for my head.:peace:

I reported all of their Completeds except one of the Daisy combinations - ran out of room and it might actually have been real since they described it as used or preowned. The rest of them are fake though, the flimsy chains just by themselves were major red flags.

They are both authentic. Brown is a generic description rather than a color name. It is my opinion that the stuff in the bottom could be mold damage.

I'm not at all comfortable with ANY of jycjes.eoi9mtfpv 's listings. I don't believe any of the keychains are actually fully made by Coach although a some might have some genuine charms. The enameling doesn't look right, the fonts on some appear to have serifs where they shouldn't and the links don't look right.

This is definitely fake too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Preowned-CO...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

as is this. Look at the C shape pattern on the round cutout charm:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-gold-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I don't recommend jycjes.eoi9mtfpv.
Click to expand...

And the seller's jewelry has almost the same charms as their fake keychains! Including all the phony fonts too.

I don't think ANY of those charms were made by Coach.

And I'll do more than not recommend seller " jycjes.eoi9mtfpv " - I'll tell anyone reading this to AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Yup, I knew they were fake but wanted to confirm. I also suspect that sukilady2 might question them herself based on the fact that she didn't show the soles of the shoes. I'm sure that would have confirmed they were fake.

The fakes have the wrong shape, the patch is incorrect, the font on the patch is wrong and the insole doesn't appear to be leather. If it is leather, it's not the right texture.

It's authentic. I don't see this style very often. It's a classic satchel #9880.

They didn't try very hard! The seller says "he was assured they were all authentic." Do you want to be nice and tell him the truth?
