I recently sold the girlie small hobo that I had authenticated here a few months ago.

http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-889527-171.html#post28189160

Buyer filed a return case with these remarks:

Info from the buyer:
Reason: It's counterfeit or fake
Comments: There are so many things wrong with this shipment, first the purse has a circle next to the authenticity tag which means its not real. Second you used an Ebay box and turned it upside down , that is against ebay policy and then used priority 2 day mail and charged me expedited shipping charges. This tiny and I mean tiny purse would have cost 5.95 the most, I have been doing this for years as well. You cant even use a usps free postal box and turn it around to get a cheaper rate. I am asking for a full refund and I will pay for the return.

Is there a professional way I can reply? I don't have any problem with her returning nor paying for return shipping. I do have a problem with everything else.

Blatantly calling my purse counterfeit or fake and saying proof is because of the bulls eye mark!!!

The purses measurements were listed in the information and "small" was in the title.

I checked with my local post office (before shipping) and they have no problem with me recycling boxes nor turning them inside out. Buyer selected shipping (both economy and priority were offered). Her shipping was $8.26 - flat rate would have been $12.65. I use a USPS spring scale and eBay figures shipping from weight and zip code. I don't make a dime off shipping and I don't charge any handling fees.

Have you called ebay? I had something extremely similar happen to me a few weeks ago (except buyer claimed the bag was defective instead of fake, but same outcome). I called ebay before I responded to the buyer's dispute, and told them I was worried about being scammed by the buyer because the reason for the supposed defect was ridiculous, their buying activity was suspicious, they have numerous NPB complaints in their feedback, and I was worried about receiving a different item back in the mail. I have a no questions asked return policy, but I think the buyer did not want to pay return shipping and restocking fee.
Miraculously, the ebay CSR I spoke to agreed with me on all counts (her name was Kim). Ebay ended up siding with me, and I got the defect on my account removed.
If you haven't called ebay yet, please do so, and give them all of the details that concern you (but not as in great of detail as you could in this thread) that you are possibly being scammed. Very roughly, very generally speaking, the outlet bullet stamp she's complaining about actually proves it's real (according to the experts here, there are cases of faked bullet stamps on the creeds of fakes, but ebay doesn't need that level of detail), priority shipping is expedited shipping, and she's not only a competitor, she's also selling the same brand of bag with the same bullet stamp on the creed! That all sounds suspicious to me! Good luck, and I hope you're able to get the defect on your account removed. :smile1:

ETA: I'm not sure if it's helpful to point this out to ebay when you call to make your case, but the photos used in her Charley and Town car tote listings are stock photos stolen from Coach's website.

ETA 2: What Hyacinth said a couple of posts down! Sheesh, how could I forget that one? She's sold a confirmed fake herself that was removed by ebay.

She also had that tacky Scribble fake removed although her poor buyer is probably stuck with it. So not only DOESN'T she authenticate her own bags but she can't even tell the difference between real and fake - or doesn't care as long as she's the one making the money.

There's something about this sellers listings that dont sit right with me. They don't have detailed inside pics, but from what I can see I strongly suspect something fishy especially since I can compare subtle differences to my own authentic periwinkle swagger. The long handling time and the fact that they're all nwot seems odd too. I didn't look at the Rhyders, but the Gramercys had me wondering as well.

Although we warn against basing an authentication on a hangtag, I am going to comment on it. The blue hangtag on her bag shows some obvious differences in the impressed border, something you wouldn't see on an authentic item.

She doesn't show the straps, conveniently covered so there's no way to know what they look like, but I'm betting they don't have some of the stitching details shown on yours.

I'm not comfortable with this listing or any other listing from the erick.gabri. He has too many "NWOT" bags with blurry pictures and questionable red flags.

I don't recommend erick gabri.
