And except for the screamingly obvious fakes that we've seen and reported a hundred times but still see in our nightmares, nothing should ever be reported without one of the experts verifying that it's fake.
The seller's authenticity disclaimer may have caused the problems.

I don't think anyone reported it, it looked like the seller removed it as it didn't come up the same way as when eBay removes an item. I think the link just said "no longer available" or something like that.
The seller said she was unsure about it being real. She said it came with a "Coach Certificate"(?) inside but no "Patch." She also said it was her daughters. I suspect she pulled the auction to re-evaluate since her bin price was fairly low and may have been a steal if the wristlet were in fact real. On the other hand and since she's sold several Coach bags in the past, she may have been concerned that someone would nail her if it turned out to be fake.
Interestingly though, I did come across one that looked very much like it but had a thin removable strap with it where the one I inquired about didn't. Maybe the seller will re-list it so we can take a better look? =]
