I would definitely agree with Hyacinth on this one...DO NOT BID.
The seller has lots of fake Coach charms up for sale, so I doubt the authenticity of the seller's wallets/anything else...the pictures could be stolen.

Margaritamix is right - when someone's selling fake keychains, their wallets are almost certainly fake too - they're sold on the same slimy websites.

And there's one item the poster asked about that doesn't even match the drilldown.

Just a reminder for everyone here - just because something matches the drilldown or the C's match on both sides DOESN"T MEAN IT'S GENUINE.

People are coming here asking for advice because they're considering spending a LOT of their hard-earned money on something that's special for them. PLEASE be careful when giving opinions - and please remember, all these posts are JUST opinions, no one here is "authenticating" anything! - look at the seller's selling record, not just their Feedback or their auction photos! If you're not sure about an item or don't have enough experience to give an educated opinion, then please wait for someone else who can.

I found this at the Ebay forum and everyone needs to remember it:

Sellers can LIE.
Photos can be STOLEN.
Feedback can be FAKED.
If something looks too good to be true - IT IS.

i looked at the black bag that she had sold - and it doesnt look quite like the real thing to me but she mentioned she had receipt to prove authenticity. i saw the carlys and the ergos she sold - the ergo looked like real to me but not the carly.

i guess best to stay away?

Receipts don't mean a darned thing - you can buy fake receipts and the templates to print them all over the Dark Side of the Internet. Ebay won't even accept most receipts as proof of authenticity any more.

If a seller has one fake, assume everything he/she sells is fake until proven otherwise.

Hi!
I'm hoping someone can authenticate these items for me?
I know nothing about Coach but I'm trying to find something affordable for everyday use for my Sister. She doesn't know how to spend money on herself. :weird:

I think she'd like the Carly bag. Thank You!

i don't know about the handbag but look at her feedback, it's very very low, plus she only has 2 comments even though she's sold 7 items. i wouldn't trust her.

Don't just look at the feedback numbers - analyze the feedback.

I'm only seeing 2 listings where she(?) was the seller and 5 where s/he was the buyer. The one Negative was a retaliatory Negative for one left for an electronics seller who DOES have bad Feedback and probably deserved the Negative. The sales seem to have gone through with no problems. Normally I would recommend avoiding new sellers, but this one could go either way.

The Carly looks genuine although better pictures would help, but I'm worried about the wallet. There are waaaaaay too many fakes of that style for sale on Ebay. I would never consider bidding without better pictures of both.
