I'm not familiar with these, so hopefully someone else can help. The pictures in the auction are pretty blurry. Since you have these, can you post clearer pics of the words on the inside of the straps, the Coach stamp on the side of the strap, and the bottom of the shoes?

ok my camera is not cooperating but, I can tell you that the numbers on the inside are F210-A02 with Made in china under on the one inside of the strap, then on the other side it says P201 wth Lisa under and the size. The bottoms just have the coach "stamp" on them that is the same as on the straps & looks the same as on a hang-tag. The size is also on the bottom. Sadly I also already left feedback so I really hope these turn out to be ok, as I doubt the seller will still do anything now. I did pay with a cc though so hopefully *bay will still take care of things if they're not ok.
THanks again!

I posted it earlier, but the link seemed to stop working, so here it is again. I asked her to post more pics of the inside.

The seller said she bought this bag on ebay, and here's the link to it:

Why does one of the newer pics show 2 lengths of plastic wrap pushed down to the ends of the strap, but there's no plastic on the older one? I think the seller's trying to pull a switch. The bag with the plastic wrap is very probably fake.

I'd like to hear other opinions, but somethin' ain't right here.

The second seller is making jewelry from Coach charms wihout disclosing that the items are handmade, which is against Ebay's rules. Legally those handmade pieces can't be listed as Coach since Coach isn't the final manufacturer.

Hyacinth, I got the same charm as the 1st and 3rd from Coach customer service when I needed to replace my brass hangtag. They were out and sent me that exact charm instead. Those charms appear to be complimentary from Coach and the sellers may just be trying to make some quick cash. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info! I have a post going about that charm in the main Coach forum and there's a bit more info there. As it sits, I'm just not comfortable saying for sure that any of them are authentic since I've seen at least one that I think is fake and I don't have close-up photos of the ones Coach has sent out as replacements. Anyone who buys one on Ebay needs to be buying from a seller they trust completely.

I agree with Hyacinth. Something smells fishy. The bag in the first picture in the first auction link is definitely fake. Not only because of the plastic, but because of other things that are visible in the picture. However, the other pictures seem to show a different bag. If the seller is trying to sell the bag in pic #2, then why does she need to show a picture of a fake bag in pic #1?? :confused1: It would be best to stay away from this one because who knows which bag you'll get.
