I wasn't intending to offer an authentication on the bag in question. I was merely pointing out that she has a long history of listing fakes, using inadequately qualified authenticators (across multiple brands) and finding it nearly impossible to get through to her that she may want to find new authentication companies.

I didn't take it that way. It was moreso friendly advice, than an authentication opinion. I just thought you were giving me some useful info about the seller. And, I appreciate it because I was in the dark about Linda's shady practices. I'll definitely tread lightly on her auctions. Thanks again!

It's not that Linda is shady. I think she's too big and busy to be able to appropriately monitor her listings, she has assistants and employees who don't always show adequate pictures necessary for authentication purposes and she uses businesses who she trusts know the items they're authenticating when in fact, those companies may be good with some items but not others. And as a result, mistakes are made, buyers get fakes, other buyers get items in worse condition than described, etc.

I honestly don't think she's purposely dishonest nor does she intentionally mislead. I think she's just overworked and can't keep up.

I'm pretty sure the ones you asked about are the large. I think the proportions are a little different - it looks fatter. I don't have any pictures of the small but I think the flap hangs down lower on it. Coach's dimensions for the large were 11 3/8 by 8 3/4 by 3 3/4. I think the small might be 10 by 8 but I'm not sure.

They're just called Plaza Bags, not Plaza Court bags.
