I have some comments:
1. seller states in description (and in all her 58 completed listings) that "All photos are of the actual item being sold."
That is NOT true. In nearly every listing, the gallery (main) picture and the second picture are all stock images and NOT the actual item. I didn't open each listing to see if there were more than 2 stolen copyrighted images in any but the point is that her statement isn't accurate. IMO, sellers should NEVER use copyrighted images that aren't their own. When I buy something, I want what I see to be what I'll get.

2. Although 100% feedback is a nice benchmark when looking at sellers, it's not necessarily dependable. Many buyers don't leave feedback, many buyers don't leave feedback if they were unhappy and many buyers may have received fakes and didn't know it so they left positive feedback. And in other cases, a seller might get a neg for a fake but buyers may have wrongly accused the seller. (I'm not saying any of those are the case with this seller but just demonstrating why feedback scores aren't always dependable.)

For the listing you've asked about, I'd like to see a few more pictures.
1. The price tag side showing the information about the bag (bar code, style number, color code, style name).
2. A better straight on picture of the full creed and serial number. The picture shown is skewed in a way that the font looks off but it just might be the angle.
3. A picture of the underside of the C front closure showing the male part that fits into the female part to close it.

Okay. I did message the seller a few days ago asking a few questions too but they haven’t gotten back to me yet, so I probably won’t get any more pictures. Just in case, I think I’ll stay away since the price is just very suspicious for something brand new with tags. Thank you.

I never advise buying from a seller who doesn't communicate before a sale. If they don't answer questions in order to woo you into buying from them, how responsive do you expect them to be if there's a problem after you receive the item?

You are correct that it's NOT made by Coach and Etsy seller trunkofjewels has quite the history:

For an idea of this seller's history, one need not even look at all the multiple hall of shame posts. This is just one post from Sept. 2022.

This fake sold tonight for $550. Hopefully, it might be removed and if the buyer didn't pay yet, it'll save her hundreds of $$$. Seller thehandbagspot...

Just did a search on tpf of this seller before I saw your post BeenBurned. Urgh! This seller stills has a few currently available for sale, orange small ergo and brown studio if I am correct in thinking these 2 are as well fake. Thank you BeenBurned. Sad that buyers may loose alot of $$$ if they purchase with this seller.

And it's sad that a site like Etsy doesn't do anything to sanction sellers who sell fakes. They ignore reports.
