I bought it and now i'm kicking myself questioning the authenticity. Fake coach sellers make me so MAD! I hope this one is real.




There's no way to tell with such lousy pictures, but fakes sellers do that deliberately.

The are way too many danger signs here - when a seller sells tons of wallets and many of them are style #6K13 which is the most common fake Coach wallet on Ebay, DON"T BID!

I'm sorry Crista, but I also see several fake Optic wallets listed, and the seller's BIN prices are half of Coach's retail prices for wallets that are still in the stores and on the website! How can anyone buy them for less than half of retail, pay their expenses, listing fees, FV fees, and Paypal fees and still make a profit? AND he's not even charging any shipping!!! That's another HUGE red flag!

IF SOMETHING LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS

When you get it, contact the seller, tell him you've found out that the wallet's counterfeit, and demand a full refund.. And always ask here first before you bid. Look at a seller's Completed listings, not just his current auctions, and any time you see a bunch of wallets at too good to be true prices, walk away.

And for heavens sake, DON'T be pressured into leaving Positive Feedback! If he threatens you with not sending a refund, file a Paypal complaint and send a copy of the email or the Ebay Message ID number along with the complaint.

You won't believe this-- I confronted the seller and opened a dispute with paypal and the seller refunded me within 10 minutes! I told them I will refuse delivery, but I think to be safe, I will go ahead and accept shipment and then immediately ship it back with signature confirmation so that there is NO question I returned it. It makes me so sad that there is so much fraud going on with ebay. I don't think I will bother looking for coach on ebay anymore. This is the SECOND time I've been sold a fake! I should have learned my lesson the first time. :sad:

Oh dang it. I was so proud of myself too. I looked at the drill down photos and compared what I thought was every inch. I thought it was good. I even looked at the person's feedback. I'll see if I can find better pics than the little drill down one and figure out what I am missing. Thank you for your candor and your feedback.

I think I spot the difference!! I have started a CC dispute with my CC company. Started the Paypal dispute process confronting the seller, and as soon as Ebay allows it start there (I have to wait 10 days). I'll report back how it goes. This was my own stupid fault, but I can't complain too much. I have been on Ebay since 2000 with hundred of purchases. This was my first bad one. From now on wallets come from stores!

I think the buyer is in Canada - no outlets unless you live close to the border. :sad:

Ladies, it's a good idea to put the country where you live in your Forum profile. The advice we give can be very different depending on where you are and even on the time differences, since I think most of us who are answering your questions live in the US.

Thanks! :heart:

Yes, I do live in Canada. I'm sad that there are no outlets here, and I hope they do put them here one day. I'm about 2-3 hours away from the border.. and plan on going sometime this summer.. so hopefully when I do, there will be REALLY good deals! I will definitely put my location in my profile!

Thanks so much for all your help Hyacinth & starrymaz as always! I really appreciate it!! =D

P.S I won that brown soho bag for 65 including shipping.. NWOT! I hope that's an awesome deal!!! lol

This is advertised as a large slingpack w/a long strap. I have never seen this particular style before? It looks like a sig stripe tote to me? Is this authentic, and does someone have a no.# for it? Waiting for more pics from the seller (hopefully)
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
