Okay, I need help!!! I bought this wallet, got it, and it looks real to me, but the inside is iffy.. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like the nice leather that coach uses, and the inside where you put your money is crackly.. lol I dont' think it is real.. confident enough to email seller about it, then he tells me he bought these from a wholesaler for his wife's cousins, then found out they had one, so he has to sell them?? wtf?? but then he says he knows it is authentic, even if I bring it on w/ ebay. he is willing to refund my money, but not shipping. Is that policy, or if it is fake, should I get shipping rates back??or what do you ladies think of this listing, any input? Pretty please?!?
thanks!!!

Well, we know they aren't authentic if they came from a whole seller. He also is selling them for pretty cheap. If he is willing to give you your money back take it. Other than that, if you want shipping back too you would have to go through a dispute with Paypal that I'm not sure would be worth the time and effort??

Thanks. I know, after I emailed him he just confirmed my thoughts. He claims he has no issues bringing it up w/ ebay or paypal because he KNOWS they are authentic.. but oh well. I got him to refund all but $5 of the shipping, and I will pay to ship it back. You win some, you lose some. :sad: Thanks! :smile1:

:sad: I'm sorry...that sucks! And aren't the fake sellers always 100% defensive and 100% sure about their fakes?! Haha ughh!!! Sorry again :(, but with ebay, who knows, maybe a super deal will pop up in the next few days and you can authenticate it here and snap it right up. Best of luck!

I'm starting to have doubts because I've never seen that indention on the upper left of the creed...I don't know much about coach beyond a few models, so if anyone can help, that would be great!

I don't know much about Coach...But...I had just recently asked a simular question. The "O" is the mark for if it was sold at an Outlet. The "O" on the creed I had posted was on the right. But I doubt that makes a bit of difference...
TJ MAXX has an "X" mark instead of an "O"...So it could be real since the "O" mark means sold at an Outlet store. As to the style I am not that familar with Coach...But I did happen upon that topic just the other day with my own post~

Yep, I can't fully authenticate that for you but it looks good to me! :tup: The bullseye stamp on the creed does mean it came from an outlet... nothing other than that. HTH!

I need help with keychains. Is there a way to tell if they are fake or not. It's hard on ebay. For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Cooach-Char...ryZ45237QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Any advice would help. Thanks!

Hi, I'm still learning but I do remember reading a few things about keychains on this forum. I looked at the seller whose keychain you gave as an example. She has a Coach hello kitty keychain for sale. Coach does not make keychains etc with licensed characters like that so that keychain is fake. Also, keychains with white boxes and brown trim are fake. I wasn't sure about the ones she has with the brown boxes but I found something about those on #9 on this page:

I hope this helps and I hope if I'm wrong about something that one of the ladies here will let me know as I do want to learn. :smile1:
