In fact, here's another listing that is neither blue (as you were told by Coach) nor is it pink (as you purchased) but it is authentic:

Before you improperly accuse a seller of breaking the law and selling counterfeit items, you need to be 100% sure that what you're alleging is true.

And at this point, we DO NOT KNOW THAT!!

Good. Now try to relax and send us a clear photo of the creed patch when you get the bag.

Btw, it looks ok to me too, it's a style made for the Factory Stores but was probably originally made for the full-price stores. It's hard to find others with that style number but the bag was probably originally released with one of the older and shorter 3 or 4-digit style numbers, and when the bag was re-done for the Factory stores it was given a new style number to fit with the new 5-digit style number format introduced in Fall of 2006.

Be sure to refer back to your original post so we can find it more easily:

Just be careful buying on Ebay in the future without getting the item authenticated. Most guys know that things like sports memorabilia are faked, but have no idea how widespread fakes are in every category. Handbags are another biggie, but things like clothing (Ralph Lauren, most name brand jeans, really just about every "name" clothing and shoe brand - Nike, Adidas, etc) sporting goods like golf clubs & balls, they're ALL faked.

I've never seen that style before, and I've never seen any Coach turnlock stamped like that. I personally don't think it's real but more opinions would help.

It looks like some type of Madison foldover but as Hyacinth pointed out, the turnlock appears to be different from other similar styles.

If you search "madison foldover clutch," there are a few listings for a similar item with what the turnlocks generally look like.

Can you request additional pictures from the seller?

I tried searching just "Coach foldover clutch" and none of the styles have a turnlock like that. They all just have the simple logo stamped into the metal.

Seller: rosieconroy1204

Comments: Hi there, I'm really interested in buying a small bag similar to this style, but I have a feeling it's a fake :( If it is, could you recommend a similar style and/or a reuptable UK buyer? Thanks so much!

Don't buy from rosieconroy1204. The seller has fakes.

The listing you asked about is fake as is this one from the same seller:

Just as I expected :( Oh well, doesn't hurt to try. Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Do you have any recommendations for similar small-ish, classic 'travelling' bags? Not necessarily Coach, but a good brand.

Search for swingpacks. You might have to search by brand to narrow it down a bit or you'll pull up way too many listings to search.
