Do not buy from some-for-some. The seller uses pictures stolen from Coach's website as well as pictures stolen from other sellers.

Pictures for this item (in both current and completed listings) were stolen from at least 3 different sellers.

The second picture in some-for-some's listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Alexandra...925?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3f05f27ee5

is stolen from this seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Leather-Alexandra-Berry-Purple-Purse-Tote-Bag-New-/360332357219

As I mentioned before, I don't recommend doing business with a seller who steals other people's work. Who knows whether the other pictures in the listing are even the seller's own pictures.

UGH! I missed those other stolen pics. Definitely do not buy from http://myworld.ebay.com/some-for-some/some-for-some

As if those aren't enough red flags, this seller also uses private listings.

Item: AUTH COACH MEN/WOMEN SOHO CHECKBOOK WALLET 40094 KHAKI
Item Number: 260712891779

Do NOT buy from annatownspecialty. This seller has sold many fake Coach wallets and her listings have multiple red flags.

1. The styles of wallets are all among the most highly faked.
2. The props used are fake -- paperwork, boxes, cards
3. Private listings
4. Quantity of wallets sold

All the seller's completed listings are for fake Coach wallets.

And in fact, the seller was also caught selling fake Ray-bans in September, for which she got negged:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...=negative&interval=365&_trkparms=negative_365

Since you already left positive feedback, add a comment stating that the seller sold a counterfeit Coach wallet. Be specific and state "fake Coach wallet" since with private listings, that's the only way other buyers will know she sold.

Let the seller know that you want a full refund for the fake wallet and if she doesn't agree to it, then file a dispute: What can I do when I get an item that's not as described?
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/item-not-received.html

I always like to recommend that in your dispute, you request that you would rather not return the fake to the seller because you don't want her to have the opportunity to resell it. But do hold on to it in the event that they do require you to return it.

Do not buy from annatownspecialty. This seller sells fakes. All the Coach wallets this seller has sold are fake.
http://completed.shop.ebay.com/annat...0&_rdc=1&_rdc=

The seller has had feedbacks of fake Raybans and a fake 3M product:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...0&mPg=2&page=1

Coach wallets are some of the most frequently faked items, and people have to be very careful when buying online. Be very wary of new sellers with little feedback, selling multiple highly faked styles of wallets. Another red flag is private listings. Private listings make it hard to check the seller's feedback for items they've sold. Private listings can also hide evidence of shill bidding. Many fakes sellers know this and use private listings to their advantage.

There are several problems with the wallet in the listing above. One major problem is the stitching. The stitching is wrong on both the inside and outside of the wallet. There are also other things pictured in the listing that aren't right.

I'm sorry you got a fake. Please get a refund asap. And be sure to ask here if you thinking of bidding on any other wallets in the future.

EDIT: I see BB has already responded. But it doesn't hurt to reiterate the warning against buying from annatownspecialty!

Stephie, good luck with your refund!

Thank you. I will. I'm so bummed out. I really liked that wallet, and when you talked about "shill bidding" I think she got me with that too. It was happening at 10 minute intervals, almost to the second.
