Please post in the format requested in post #1 of the thread. It's helpful in searches for seller IDs and listings.

This seller sellthisthat (formerly known as sleeplessatl) has been mentioned in the past as one who I wouldn't recommend. She has a history of picture theft and selling fakes. Her pictures come from other sellers, other websites and she also uses Coach's stock photos.

In fact, the listing in question uses pictures stolen from a Japanese website.

This current listing is for a fake:

She's been discussed here:

Item: COACH MADISON LEATHER GREEN SABRINA #12949
Listing number: 160571143911
Seller: angelcouture09
Link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160571143911&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comments: I thought this looked good, but after bidding I found pictures of green/grass Sabrinas & Juliannes which have brown lining... This one has white lining. Any thoughts?

TIA!:D

There are a couple of things bothering be about angelcouture09's listing.

Can you please request a clear and focused picture of the creed and of the horse and carriage plaque?

Oh, how I wish Starry were around to look at this listing.

Ok, I've requested photos. I was trying to compare the pics to my Julianne (in a different colour), but you're right that the creed & plaque aren't that clear...

Thanks for your help, I'll post again if I get the pics :smile1:

I saw it too and had hoped that someone who owns the bag could compare to their own.

Since that didn't happen, I'll state that based on my knowledge, I don't see any problems with it but again, I don't have the actual item to do a side-by-side comparison.

The only thing I thought was odd is that the seller has sold tons of these. I didn't know you could buy Coach checkbook holders by themselves, without buying the wallet.

Grass green (gs) has chocolate lining...this is regular green (b4/gn), which has the correct interior color.

Below are DDs of the difference...the grass is in 12937, while the green is 12949. Here is a pic of a grass green swingpack with the choco lining:

I've seen a lot of sellers do this. They don't want to put the buy it now on the auction, because it discourages people from bidding too high, because then the buy it now option disappears, and they may end up paying more than the buy it now price. The other reason the seller did this is that you can't put a best offer in an auction. If someone does the buy it now, the seller removes the auction listing. This is the only way you can list an item in an auction and also accept best offers.

I think you are talking about the Poppy glam tote. My daughters have 3 of them between them, but not in the silver color. All the details seem to be the same. They use them for school bags and they love them.

Oh wow, I didn't realize there were grass & green were actually different colours. That would explain a lot. I think the creed says 12949. I'm still waiting on better pics from the seller. Thanks for the info!

You guys have been so helpful already, but I have another bag I would like some input on. Also, if ANYONE knows the name, please let me know. I searched all brown Coach bags on ebay and didn't find one that looks like this one. Is there an easy way to find the name other than to ask the members on the forum? I'm at a loss...

I wouldn't feel comfortable buying from or recommending shoppingcafe2011.

Coach doesn't sell the checkbook inserts individually so there are only two options by which this seller has them.

Option 1: they're fake
Option 2: they're authentic but separated/stolen from the original checkbook wallet with which they belong.

I've seen instances where sellers have the full checkbook wallet and sell both pieces individually; not illegal but not completely honorable because they probably do it to get more money from 2 individual sales than from the single sale.

But since shoppingcafe2011 doesn't appear to have sold wallets, this scenario isn't likely.

Another comment on the seller is that she frequently uses stolen stock photos in her listings. She doesn't even show any pictures of her own actual items.

Stolen pictures from Coach:

Stolen gallery pic from Dooney. No idea whether the other pics are her own or also stolen:
