That site sells fakes. They break international law by stealing Coach's photos so that there's no way of seeing the actual item you'll receive, they don't list a location, they only use Hotmail and Gmail addresses, they use EMS as their primary shipper which means they're located in China - their order-tracking website is even listed as http://www.ems.com.cn/english-main.jsp which is a Chinese location and server.

ANY SITE LOCATED IN CHINA IS SELLING FAKES.

ANY SITE THAT STEALS COACH'S PHOTOS IS SELLING FAKES.


All the answers are right in their website - they can't even be bothered to translate their pages into correct English! And they don't even bother to lie and say their garbage is genuine!

BTW, if you need to add something to a post, please use the "EDIT" button. We don't like giving those crooks and theives any more publicity than they've already received.

THERE ARE NO "DEALS" ON NEW COACHES, IN THE US OR ANYWHERE ELSE. COACH DOES NOT WHOLESALE, NOR DO THEY SELL TO FLY-BY-NIGHT THIRD PARTY CHINESE WEBSITES.

It's a genuine Mini Bag, style 9825, from around 1989-1991.
 
ok thank you i have major sellers remorse on a bag and ive been looking for coach 15026 in eggshell. when i used google search engine their website popped up with its picture on it for 300.00 there were no additional pictures and i used their live chat and asked them to post it on ebay cus i feel safer. she said they have no store on ebay and she would tell her boss. i will look to see what i added. i think i thought i didn't do it right and i submitted a different site that was correct. sorry and thank you

That also points back to something we've said many times before to posters who use Google as an authentication tool. Finding a Coach on Google never ever will prove that it's genuine, especially not when most fakes sites whose junk shows up on Google are stealing pics of genuine items.

All Google is, is a search engine. They don't know and don't care whether or not a site is selling fakes, and they're sure not going to risk losing a part of the huge Chinese market by restricting or looking too closely at Chinese websites. Having a site or page show up on Google doesn't prove that it's real, or telling the truth, or a good place to do business. And since Google only lists sites in their Search database, older webpages, information more than 5 or 10 years old, and especially Coach webpages more than a few months old do NOT show up in Google searches.

When looking for a Coach style number, start with Ebay, not Google. It still doesn't prove the item is genuine, but at least your chance of finding a genuine item is slightly improved. Google should always be a last resort, and only when you can't find the information anywhere else.

"cant these sites ever be reported to anybody?"

You can report them to Coach, but the sites are usually located in China and China doesn't give a fat rat's patoot about US or international laws. Louis Vuitton is one of the few companies that have actually won court cases against Chinese website owners, but it's an expensive process and because of rampant political corruption the site owners seldom face any serious punishments. Counterfeit merchandise accounts for between 5 and 10 percent of China's total income from production and exports, and the government has no genuine interest in stopping the deluge of fakes pouring into world markets.

That website sells fakes. Most of your links aren't working.

This item from seller rosec6165 is fake, though a fairly close one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251048811780?...84.m1439.l2649

All rosec6165's items are fake: http://www.ebay.ca/sch/rosec6165/m....=&item=251048811780&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2562

The listing for item 340197373084 has been removed. Who was the seller?

Are you within 45 days of your purchase of the removed item? You can file a dispute for the fake candy fob.
