Thank you for your help!

Yes, now that you point it out, this one seems curious. That creed picture is a bit hard for me to see.
@Citosgirl
That isn't the bag you asked about. That's a different bag from the same seller. I'm asking about that one.

The one you asked about was authenticated here:

How about this cute little thing? https://shopgoodwill.com/item/135833227 It's a turnlock wallet on a crossbody strap with signature fabric and leather. Look authentic? And if so, any idea on item number or style name? Thank you for your time & expertise. It's about 6 inches by 4 inches.
I'm not familiar with the style but I'm not seeing any problems.
 
Personally, I take issue with brands-u-love and the listings.

All listings use only stolen stock images that belong to Coach and don't show the actual items you'll receive. Not saying this seller doesn't it but some sellers show pictures of authentic items but send fakes.

Additionally, use of Coach's copyrighted pictures is disallowed by Coach and it's wrong for sellers to use them.

I don't believe the few pictures she send you are adequate for authentication purposes.
Thank you for your response. However, she has 100% positive feedbacks with 1k+ reviews. Is it still not recommended to purchase from this seller? Also, you mean the photos uploaded by seller were stolen stock images?
 
Hello authenticators! Please help to authenticate this bag I found on ebay. Seller mentioned it is bought from the boutique store and brand new. It is sold out everywhere. Seller also said there is receipt but unwilling to show me as she said "Sorry. We don’t reveal our sources to Customers again all our items are authentic with original packaging and serial number inside". I am afraid it is not authentic and thus she does not want to show me the receipt.
Any ideas on how sellers on ebay can get goods from boutique stores and sell them and make profits?

Seller: https://www.ebay.com.sg/usr/brands-u-love?ul_noapp=true

Thank you in advance!

I'd already commented on the bag (and my opinion of the seller's laziness and use of Coach's copyrighted pictures) above.

ETA: This was my post and opinion:

The bag is probably authentic.

I see that@BeenBurned has handled most of your questions.

No, the pics the seller sent you aren't from the website, but the listing photos ARE, including the modeling photo. Are you located in Singapore, i see the website links youn posted have the ".sg" url. I don't know what the laws are in Singapore, but in the US, using anyone's legally copyrighted pictures or registered trademarks without their permission is ILLEGAL, period, HERE'S COACH'S US WEBSITE LINK FOR THAT BAG, COMPARE IT TO THE LISTING PHOTOS FROM YOUR SELLER'S PAGE. If the seller is located in the US like she claims, she's in serious violation of US trademark and copyright protection laws.


She's also lazy as he11 since she can't even be bothered to take a single photo of the creed from an actual bag unless someone asks. Only 6 photos in that listing, none of them from an actual bag in her possession and all of them stolen from Coach's website, when Ebay allows 12 free photos per listing. The description in the listing is also Copied & Pasted directly from the website.

Coach's website under "TERMS OF USE"
clearly states:
