Clearly, the seller has a camera and uses her own pictures. There is no need for a stock photo and to use them is infringing on Coach's copyright.

I dont understand what you mean by that

When a designer's website, a store, or even another ebay seller does the work involved to take pictures, edit, host, write listings (or descriptions - in the case of the designer website), etc., there time and expense involved in doing that work.

For another seller to come along and take the easy "copy and paste" route is not only unfair to the owner of the pictures but it's unethical, dishonest and against the law. Plagiarism is illegal.

The seller you asked about has a camera. She takes good pictures. There is absolutely no reason why she should also take advantage of the work that Coach does to take its copyrighted pictures for its own website.

I have reason to believe the keychain pictured is fake. Keychain in question was taken from this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/question-hope-it-is-okay-i-ask-this-591280.html

Please authenticate - thanks!!!

Readng both threads, I don't see where the buyer claims to have paid only 9 dollars for it. It sounds to me like she got a 9 dollar discount.

And since it's a 2-year old keychain, the seller may have paid very little for it.

Style # is 92248. And as long as the buyer gets exactly the same keychain as in her photos, I don't see what the problem is.

These are not from an auction, my friend was selling them at a tag sale, she said she thinks they're real but someone gave them to her a long time ago, so she didn't actually buy them herself from a Coach store. I googled the creeds and nothing came up, so can you guys help me out if possible, please and thanks, she charged me $20 a piece for them. I don't know the style names, and she lost the hangtags.

The black creed is kind of hard to read, it's L4C-5130, I couldn't get any clearer pictures because both creeds are very worn.

Is the first picture the same bag that the creed photo is for? It looks brown in your photo but I don't see a black bag.

If the last 3 pics are all for the same bag with the 9929 serial number, it's probably ok.

But if the bag in the first pic is the one with the 5130 serial number, it's not genuine, sorry.

Doglover - thank you! I didn't see you posted it for me. :) Thanks to Hyacinth as well for finding that out for me! Don't mind my own post about it - I had not seen the other ones before I posted it.

Thank you!

I don't see any problems. All that seller's keychains seem to be genuine. I think some of the posters there misread your original posts.

The seller sells authentic Coach.

I am one who misread the post and thought you'd said you paid $9 for it.

You're welcome - I'm sorry for wrongly perceiving it to be fake, just thought the craftsmanship was a bit off. I just wanted to make sure a fellow TPFer wasn't being deceived out of their money :smile1:

Thanks for authenticating BeenBurned & Hyacinth!

#1 - This seller has come up here before and his listings were using pictures that looked like they were badly Photoshopped with parts of the pictures blurred. While I don't see any red flags for the bag in this listing, I would still ask for clearer pictures of the bag and of the creed if you're thinking of buying.

#2 - The seller should show a clear picture of the creed. I'm a bit uneasy at all of this seller's listings for wallets that show stock photo-like collages. The fact that the seller's listings are private also make me uneasy.

#3 - Looks ok.

I happened to be directed to this site through my traffic finder on eBay. I am the seller of the #2 Coach Parker Slim Tote this person found and asked about. I am in shock and you have a lot of nerve! I've been selling on eBay for 10 years, perfect feedback. Let me address this, not that I owe you an explanation, but I am furious that you or anyone acts like "God" on here passing judgement and messing with potential sales. My wallet photos I use for ease of use, they are clear, easy to see detail, never had an problems in the past. I never show Creeds. I'm a reputable seller, never felt the need. You don't think fakes have creeds? Creeds are not important, so becaue you don't see one, don't pass judgement. Thirdly, my listings are private due to privacy for my buyers. I have nothing to hide, as again my feedback shows. I have customers email me thanking me for the privacy because I have sold some Big Ticket Jewelry items and they don't want everyone seeing what they've bought or how much they've spent. It's no one's business. I would highly suggest that you don't say a word about my listings again. I would be happy to file a Suit against you for loss of business, swaying potential customers away because you are using false accusations. Again, I'll be checking my eBay more carefully to see what else is coming from this Site and will address it as need be.

1. As Starry commented, the seller has been discussed previously. Although the pictures are better now, there are still some listings with very different photographing styles, backgrounds and views. (Sellers are usually somewhat consistent in their listings in that you can tell that the pictures generally have the same background, similar shots, similar details and same photography skills.) This seller's items don't have that consistency, IMO.

2. I've watched this seller's listings for a while and something makes me uncomfortable. Although the bags look okay, the quantities of wallets is bothersome.

3. Looks okay but the seller's lack of history of selling designer/Coach items and private bidding makes me a bit nervous. If you buy from this seller, please fund with a credit card.

I am actually the person selling on eBay for your #2 post! How dare you or anyone say anything negative about my listings. I just commented on a posting from Starry. Now I am replying to yours. I've been selling for 10 years, perfect record. I like to sell wallets, easy to package and ship. I actually have a couple of BAGS of COACH WALLETS sitting on my office floor right now. COACH receipts to show for each and every one also! I like to purchase and list a variety of colors, offer the Slim and Checkbook at the sametime, etc.... so what is so bad about that to you? I go into the Coach Store and easily drop $2k - $3k at a time. Again, who are you to say this publically and mess with potential sales. I am keeping track of each comment and if need be will file a Suit against you for potentially messing with my sales or future sales by swaying customers to not buy because something isn't to your liking! My ebay Tracking is keeping a list of each comment on this site and I will be taking the appropriate actions.
