ETA oh my! my photos are worse than I thought! And for reason unknown, creed gets upside down even though (I swear!) I take it right side up. I'll get out better photos if these are not acceptable. Thank you for tolerating my lack of photography!

Why do I have the feeling that there's an ulterior motive from 2 newbies?

Yeah I don't really frequent this forum and was only made aware of it through a friend 24 hours ago. I did buy this bag on posh. I bought the bag on Friday, seller promised to ship right away. Then found the posts here the day after it was sold to me. Tried to make contact but crickets. Its nearly been a week. No responses or anything and I've already paid for it. I haven't had issues with postmark sellers before, this is the first time. This is a classic case of not researching what you have before listing. No word from them or anything. Its a mess and disappointing. I think I've been duped.

Oh, you noticed that too? Funny how they seem to be carrying out their "discussion" here, isn't it?

And unless they want to post a standard by-the-rules authentication request including a link to the Poshmark (?) listing in question, I think we can probably ask the Mods to delete both posts. (And maybe both members?) This thread is for AUTHENTICATIONS, not private accusations or requests for shipping information for a purchase on another site that belong on THAT selling site or privately between 2 of its members.

Poshmark certainly has been known to close their eyes to public disputes between members before. Maybe they're trying to keep out of Posh's sight for some reason? Especially if there's a chance we may have seen at least one of the "new" members here or at Posh more than once, possibly under different names. And why does one of them "LIKE" the post of the other one? Seems a bit odd.

For some reason a name or group keeps popping into my head... or am I just excessively suspicious? Throwing out accusations or insinuations on Posh without any proof seems to be accepted there. Either way, they can either follow THIS forum's rules or take their discussion back to Poshmark.

Comments? Criticisms?

(Comments from rendunigan and RedCoaster would be welcome as well, if they'd like to explain what's going on.)

Sorry I am super new to this forum. I replied to BeenBurned but I'll copy and paste it here :

Yeah this seller has ghosted me. I can't get a response from him at all on posh whatsoever. Out of my money and no bag. Sorry for the confusion but this has been a nightmare.

If they don't produce the bag, they have to give your money back! These posts will be deleted, but in the meantime...a similar thing happened to me. I got a valuable bag for a super good price. Or so I thoght. I posted here and the bag was authenticated. Seller pulled the rug out from under and I never got it. The sale was officially canceled, and I did get my money back. You can always dispute the charge with your credit card co.

Yeah, its super upsetting. What happened to you is exactly what happened to me. I'm a seller myself and when I got started I made the same mistake with a vintage hat that I didn't know was worth a lot, but I just accepted it as a loss and sent it to the buyer - which who turned out to be a repeat customer. After that I research before listing something for sale.

It really does suck. Was super excited and clearly I've been ghosted. I have screenshots of literally everything, but don't know what I can and can't share here. But perhaps pointing this out may just help a few people to be cautious of this one.

Sorry to the mods or who looks after this tread. Forgive my newbie self. Having a lot of difficulty navigating etc.

It's genuine. The year code looks like 1999.

Members here can offer advice, and there's also a thread in the main Coach forum under "Shopping Resources - Ebay Forum"which covers most of the shopping sites, not just Ebay. There's a thread from last year about Poshmark orders that are never shipped you might want to read.

what do you do if Poshmark item isn't shipped?

I've heard that it's not uncommong for some reason for Posh sellers not just not ship. I ordered a bag from a seller with thousands of followers. she acknowledged and said she would ship Monday. Now it's wednesday and she hasn't shipped. I sent her a message yesterday and haven't received an...

The thread you're in now is just for authentications. You can post the details of the listing for the bag you bought to ask if it's genuine but you need to follow the instructions and include the required information listed at the top of each page, including the URL of the listing and the seller's Poshmark name or ID (don't worry about the item number). You can also ask if it looks like the seller is a scammer. But without seeing the listing and looking at the seller's history, there's not much advice I can give besides what's already in the the post I mentioned about Poshmark orders since I personally won't buy from them.

Thank you for pointing this out! Yeah sorry about any confusion just upset and confused at navigating. (mobile and desktop look so different) I don't know if shooting a pm is possible here but I would be more than happy to share what happened. This has been exhausting.

Hello authenticators! I recently purchased this bag on Etsy from a vintage reseller. I just wanted to make sure of it’s authenticity before rehabbing it. The bag seems to be in excellent condition. It is a black station bag. I hope I am posting on this board correctly, this is my first time. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi, I think you might have been skipped. My internet went out just as I was about to respond this morning and it's been out all day. It's authentic.

Yes, there are fakes and this is one of them. It is not a stupid question. I hope you didn't accept the purchase.
