Please post links to online listings. You don't need to post pictures unless they aren't provided in the listing. You could have just posted the creed picture.
This is the etsy link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/170182...?ref=shop_home_active_4&ga_search_query=coach
extra pictures on Bonanza: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Authentic-Coach-Station-Black-Leather-Shoulder-Bag/295188121
If that is the creed to these listings, the creed looks fine. However, I'm concerned because I swear I can see grooves in the back of the turnlock. I can't recommend it without better pictures to confirm or deny.

I'm concerned about the seller. If you Search here at the main Coach forum for the name Belmodo you'll find several posts about her including several fakes from about 4 or 5 years ago although she's been a bit more careful since then, and she seems to take better pictures MOST of the time. There was a fake listed a few months ago though.

She doesn't like it when we question her bags:

A better picture of the back of the turnlock would be needed for a full authentication. Speaking just for myself, I probably wouldn't recommend the seller.

I haven't read ahead so I don't know if this was mentioned yet but I will comment on Belmodo.

The turnlock does have grooves and Belmodo DOES have a history. She also has several other IDs. A seller who sells as many Coach items needs to learn to do her homework before listing! (I don't believe that the creed you were sent is the bag in her listing. I'm going to look for the source!)

Other IDs to beware of:
Ebay: stregacattiva128
Ebay: belmodo
Ebay: ciccionetta
Etsy: belmodo
Bonanza: belmodo

I've enlarged the picture of the turnlock as well as an old post from the Coach Hall of Shame.

Thanks for the enlargement, BB!

The creed shown in the additional photos seems ok, so it's possible that the turnlock itself was replaced somewhere along the way with a non-Coach version. But considering the seller's history I wouldn't recommend taking a chance.

She also has NO excuse for not posting clear readable creed and serial number photos. A potential buyer shouldn't have to ASK for a creed photo, especially from anyone who used to be a tPF member.

And last, the general concensus on eBay seems to call this bag a Silver Ocelot Print Pleated Top Handle (I would think Demi) with a style F44142. There is no creed patch. I know not to trust that ebay sellers know what they are talking about but it's a starting point at least.
8 1/2" x 5 1/4" x 3 1/2"

Both red bags look fine. You can't have too much red!

This looks okay to me too. More opinions are welcome. I have a bunch of accessories in this print and my daughter has the larger bag. We got them all in 2012 at the outlet.

Looks good to me, too.

Regarding clear pictures and pictures necessary for authentication purposes, I am of the belief that if the seller knows her listing is for an authentic item, she posts clear, definitive and plentiful pictures.

OTOH, if her item is questionable, she has blurry, distant or she omits showing pictures that she knows would prove her item as questionable.

Would you please post pictures of the issues you're talking about? I can't tell from the pictures in the listing where the problems are.

Please also post a clear picture of the trigger clip on the end of the wrist strap lying on its side. I want to see the shape of the hardware.

I'm not familiar with this particular style, but the zipper end sticking out is fine on "zippy" wallets.
Here are several: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...zippy.TRS0&_nkw=coach+penelope+zippy&_sacat=0

 

[Sofakingfukd]

Thank you Whateve! I found several that stick out as well there is just something about it. The material doesn't feel thick enough and the way the stitching is so sloppy and turned up just makes me wonder.
