Those blurred pics in many of this seller's listings are odd, as if the seller is intentionally blurring them for some reason.

I don't know if they're blurred or if she tried to Photoshop them. But they're awful!

What it appears to be to me is that she tried to edit a background out of the picture, perhaps to hide the fact that the pictures were stolen.

Although I don't see any red flags, you should definitely get better pictures before bidding. And make sure the pictures are her own.

The brown leather patch on the front of the bag looks a little strange. And what's with Photoshopping chunks of the background and even the fabric pattern out? She's replaced wholesale swatches of color with grays. Is she stealing photos? That would be my guess too, BB.

This is interesting too:
"Contact Us: Due to the nature of our business (Internet) we are very mobile, working frequently from various locations."

Feedback is from a semi-bible, a cheap remanufactured cell phone, and a one-dollar e-book. Hope that cheap phone keeps working from all those "various locations".

I wouldn't touch anything from that seller, sorry.

Vanessa, welcome to tPF!

The listing still have 2 1/2 days left so there's plenty of time for the seller to either add more pictures to the listing or to send them to you. If she updates the listing or sends them, you can come back and update.

Thanks, Ladies, after I looked at their site a little more, it struck me as odd that they 're so busy with their internet business, but their id is brand new w/ 3 fb. I don't know how to search for aliases. :smile1:

Her items are probably okay. The khaki carryall is fine and the Carly creed looks okay. She didn't add any more photos of the wallet but I don't see any obvious problems.

If you buy it, fund the purchase with a credit card and post pictures here if you have doubts.

I did some digging and didn't find anything.

I also tried to find the sources of the photos and didn't have luck with that either.

I completely agree with Hyacinth. Stay away.

I just wanted to add that the bag in auction # 130378136318 is definitely fake. There is a MAJOR mistake in the third picture. The material of the top edge of the bag around the zipper is wrong.

There are problems with the hangtags and the strap in the first picture.

This listing also shows the same mistake on the top of the bag:

Please note that rabbit92010 has changed their eBay ID totopknotch10 and has made their feedback private. This seller had 11 fake Coach handbags removed that were counterfeit which were listed and some were sold.

The bag is fine.
1. That's an authentic Bloomingdales gift receipt.
2. The seller may have made an online purchase. Seller lives in VA and if Virginia's sales tax is 5%, that's what the buyer pays.
3. Bloomingdales (and Macy's) are owned by Federated Department stores and that's what their gift receipts look like. Both stores use return authorization stickers in instances where the buyers can return without a receipt. But they also offer gift receipts when the purchaser requests it.

As far as I know, a return authorization sticker is NOT a gift receipt but it must be attached to an item for a return whether the customer has a gift receipt or not.

Thanks a lot for your response. The online sale thing makes sense now with the whole VA sales tax deal. I may actually purchase from this seller...thankfully he has two of them so I can take some time to think it over :)

Okay, I will listen to the wise mentors! :smartass: (I'm probably too old to call you "mom"). Thanks for caring so much. :hugs:
