It looks like the seller forgot to change the listing title, because the rest of it seems to be about this bag. no clue as to authenticity though, wait for more info from someone who can help.

We need clear readable photos of the creed patch and serial number - 4, 10
Wallets are extremely hard to authenticate and I doon't have many photos of them. These may be real but it's always hard to be sure - 2, 3 (there are more pictures if you scroll down), 5,

6, the seller trooper1861 has a fake keychain listed
Thanks very much! Both bags look genuine. That Scribble Tote style is always one that you have to be very careful with. Not only has that style been faked often, but serial numbers including the style number -5659 from that Tote have been used in literally thousands of fakes. Any time a bag's serial ends in -5659 and DOESN'T look like the bag in that listing photo, it's almost always fake.

Thanks Hyacinth, I know but its not only in Asia that they are flooding fake bags in online markets, its happening in USA and UK too. I notice her other items too but since she was selling it too cheap, Im doubting that those are really authentic. That's why I post it here so I could get opinions.
That's true, but for some reason Ebay PH has been very slow to remove reported fakes. And the Philippines nearness to Chinese ports means that it's both easy and cheap to ship fakes there. We're not showing prejudice to Philippine sellers but the simple fact is that there's a very serious problem with fakes at their Ebay site and many of the fakes are fairly accurate and can deceive even experienced buyers. Many fakes that we've found here have been from Ebay.PH sellers and also from private sellers selling them locally.
Here's an example of just one seller who keeps re-registering with new IDs every time she gets suspended. This has been going on for at least a year and there's no way to know how many buyers of Gucci, Coach, Burberry and other name brands she's cheated:

and

There also seem to be other IDs involved, maybe friends or business partners, who leave fake Positive Feedback for the seller. It's even possible some of the fakes have been asked about here for authentication, we're looking very carefully at those too.
We urge anyone whether local or international to be EXTREMELY careful buying any designer brands from sellers in that country, just as we would with sellers from China. We've SEEN the problem, we're not just imagining it. I'm sorry if that upsets some people but I have to look at facts when I do this job, not feelings.

It's genuine. The "US" part of the auction title was probably left there by accident, and I think once a listing has started a seller isn't allowed to change anything in the title. I'm sure if that's wrong, someone will let me know.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll keep an eye on the bidding then. I really do like the look of this bag for some reason, I'd love to get it. Thanks again, this forum is awesome, so glad I found it.

I already have the bag but would appreciate authentication anyway. TIA

Can't get a pic of the creed. It's too tight to get even the smallest camera in the bag. The creed # is L6D-9924

Yeah I agree with you and I know how slow and unmanageable Ebay in Asia is. One should be really vigilant and careful in dealing with sellers on Ebay. It's so hard to trust on people nowadays that's the big problem, honesty seems no longer exist.
