This listing appears to use stock photos (from somewhere). I am not familiar with the site so I don't know whether they sell authentic.

I've watched this seller for a while and as far as I can tell, her items are authentic and her pictures are her own (although they've been stolen by other ebay sellers to use in their listings).

If you are worried, post pictures of your bag or a link to the auction so we can authenticate it. However, it's very possible that the seller just gave you an older dust cover rather than the one that came with the Sabrina or even that he/she bought the bag from an outlet with no dust cover at all so they just sent one they had on hand.

I know my most recent full price purchases came with the white dustbags, but I did get a bag recently from eBay that hasn't been in the outlets yet, and it came with the brown dust cover even though it is definitely authentic.

Thanks for sharing about your insights, Michelle. The bag was authenticated before i purchased it, and after inspecting the actual bag when it arrived, i didn't find anything to the contrary, and it's just so lovely. was just a bit thrown off by the dustbag after seeing several ebay posting that showed the white dustbag with coach icon. Now, that's clear, and no more lingering worry. Thanks! :)

Thanks BeenBurned! I knew I could count on you for your knowledge on the sellers! :D I agree with you about the second seller. Someone bought a patent Zoe from her and it was authentic. I think that in general it's a bit more risky buying Coach from Amazon, since a lot of sellers on there use stolen pics which is why I don't recommend buying Coach from there. But if one is familiar with the seller, it may be ok, though the average buyer may not be as savvy.

Apparently, Amazon doesn't have a problem with stolen pictures though. I've contacted the seller whose pictures have been used on ebay by picture thieves and she responded that Amazon won't allow her to protect her own pictures by watermarking them.

She said they pointed out a clause in the user agreement that says that when you post a picture on Amazon, it becomes their property and in essence, they can allow (or turn a blind eye) to other seller's using it.

Looks like they're a "venue," just as ebay is. :(

Looks okay as do the seller's other items.

2. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350208692795
Looks okay as long as the pictures are the actual item buyer will get. (Be very careful buying this style!)

3. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290321631662
I don't think that's authentic.

4. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290321632536
Wait for Hyacinth on this one.

5. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=170339272569
Looks okay.

6. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180364491478
Tag and receipt don't match the color of the wallet. This wallet doesn't have mahogany trim.

7. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250435643341
Looks fine.
