You've done the right thing in refunding the buyer, but you are WRONG on a number of counts.
1. if it was fake or looked to be fake I would mention that up front,
It doesn't matter if you mention it up front. The law, as well as ebay policy require that you NOT LIST unless you are 100% certain that any item is authentic. And if there is any question on authenticity, it cannot be listed. PERIOD!

2. she did not ask for numbers as I am aware and your right she should have done that first before purchase,

Again you're incorrect. It isnt' the buyer's responsibility to question authenticity. Any and every listing should be assumed to be authentic, since fakes (again, I'm repeating) can't be listed.

3. PLease don't relist the item, even with an authenticity disclaimer. You can't do that.

BeenBurned is totally correct.

The seller has the absolute responsibility of KNOWING the item they are selling is authentic - before they list it. The buyer is not responsible.

I'm glad you are doing the "right" thing and refunding your buyer. But you MUST authenticate the items BEFORE you list them.

The bag in the photos is authentic, BUT I've been watching this seller for over a year. Seller steals pictures from Japanese websites and from Amazon sellers. (Seller used to use stolen ebay pictures but when the pictures were hotlinked to the rightful picture owner's album, the listing morphed in porn. Seller no longer steals from ebay sellers.) In the above listing, right click on the pictures and you'll see that the properties indicate a Japanese website. I don't recommend a seller, authentic or otherwise who is sneaky enough to NEVER use her own pictures.

Hi ladies! Can you tell me if this set is authentic from the pics available? It looks like the 1st pic is from Coach's website. Thank you!

The seller recently bought this bag from this seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300305850323

And not only did she copy the pictures from the original listing, she copied the description word for word. I would want to see the seller's OWN pictures of the bag, not a stock pic and not pictures taken from another seller.

Hi all,

I have this bag (purchased from a boutique) and was looking to purchase one for my mom. The creed on this auction seems odd and so do the tags (one of my tags is lighter). What do you think?
