OMG I could not believe my eyes when I saw this brand new Ergo Pebbled Leather Tote 11640 on sale! This is a blogshop popular in Singapore:

http://paylessdesignerbags.blogspot.com/2010/06/superbargain-ergo-leather-tote.html

What do you ladies think? What should I ask before committing to a purchase? the risk is no buyer protection from eBay hmm...

Thanks in advance ladies!

The problem with many sellers on blog sites is that the sellers use copyrighted Coach stock photos or pictures stolen from other sources. It's not apparent whether the pictures of the Ergo tote shown in the listing are the seller's own pictures. The seller uses Coach stock photos for many of her other items.

You should ask for more pictures of the bag and for a picture of the creed.

Starry is correct and I did a bit of hunting to prove the point.

Although I can't find the source of the ergo bag you've asked about, I don't feel comfortable about the website/seller because if they steal pictures in one listing, I question everything.

For example, the center (lilac) bag in this listing:
http://paylessdesignerbags.blogspot.com/2010/05/madison-op-art-large-hippie.html

Is stolen from this seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-MADISON-O...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item483acbd45f

And another -- this listing:
http://paylessdesignerbags.blogspot.com/2010/06/chelsea-leah-tote.html

Was stolen from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-COACH-HERIT...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item5ad9fd87e2

I'm sure there are more. I don't recommend doing business with the seller.

Thanks, BB - I knew I could count on you to find the sources of the stolen photos!

I agree, I wouldn't do business with this website/seller. :nogood:

Could this be authenticated please? :]

Item Name (if you know it): Don't know.
Link (if available): N/A- Bought at a thrift store
Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
front: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1343.jpg
turnlock: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1344.jpg
back of turnlock: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1345.jpg
attempts to take pictures of the inside (the white paper is the price tag they stapled it on) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1346.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1346.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/DSCN1347.jpg

These were the best pictures I could take since the bag is small and my camera is big ^_^; But I can attempt to take more if needed, thanks!

Do NOT eat the loss! Tell those sellers you want refunds. They were supposed to make sure that items were authentic before listing. Please let them know you aren't happy. And file disputes!

BeenBurned- totally did contact both sellers of the fakes. First one says "sorry, didn't know, I'm a new seller, I'll refund and give you back $1 postage too." Still going to report it after I get my refund. :)
As for Stephs-stuff, she still hasn't emailed me back, but I went ahead and reported the other items. Thanks for the encouragement!

Does the first seller have other fakes too? (If you don't mind, please post the ID.) And regarding the "$1 postage" she's refunding, is that an added amount for your inconvenience, or is she keeping a portion of the shipping cost you paid? IMO, you should get back every penny you paid. You shouldn't be out any money for a fake.

And stephs-stuff!! knows exactly what she's selling. File a dispute. Here is the link to file for "significantly not as described."

http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ContactUsNextGen&Query=Resolve a Problem&Domain=Help&Fr

And don't feel bad about leaving appropriate feedback. That's the only way that future buyers can be warned that the items are fake.
