Authenticators, I would appreciate it if you could have a look at this bag I'm considering:

Item: COACH Madison *Black* Patent Leather CROC EMBOSSED Mia CARRYALL Tote 16157
Listing number: 121018055943
Seller: rabidbutterfly82
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Madis...943?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c2d3cfd07

Thanks so much in advance! I really appreciate all of your work!

I'm not sure about this one. The only place I can find a photo I trust is here at tPF - it seems to show the regular embossed leather, but the listing you're asking about says it's Patent Leather:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/coach-fall-2010-preview-569728-143.html#post16440850

But it doesn't really look like Patent to me. Maybe the seller made a mistake listing it. The only Patent seems to be on the straps down the front of the bag. Usually if Coach makes a style in both regular and Patent Leather, they'll give them different style numbers. Other than that the bag seems ok but I'm not an expert on newer bags. More opinions would help.

Many thanks

The first one is probably ok if the lining is more of a light gray or cream color. In the photo of the creed it looks like a very light purple but it shouldn't be.

The second one also seems ok.
 
Hyacinth, where to report eBay seller for selling the same Coach bag over and over again. I called eBay yesterday and they said activity looked suspicious and they would investigate.

She had sold that bag 2 more times today with a BIN.

I bought it on the 13th and contacted seller to ask if there was an error in the listing. I mentioned that she had already sold that bag. She said it was an error and he would refund my money on the 23rd. I told her I needed immediate refund and she said she is trying to raise the money.

Yuck.

It is ok if my item is not a purse? I like this:

Item: Coach Penguin Key fob
Listing number: 121005302271
Seller: titocici
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121005302271?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Comments: I actually don't mind if its a knock off considering how cheap it is.. But I would much rather buy an authentic one. The user just seem to sell too many of them.

Of course it's ok, quite a few of us are Keychain Junkies.

That one's genuine, and although never sold as a set there are three that make a cute little family group, Mom wearing lavender (BTW, I think her "fur" is hair calf, not mink), Dad in a red scarf, and Daughter in Legacy Stripes:

Item: Coach Sheridan Mini Durham Bag #4211

Listing number: 160885726029

Seller: hmgallagher

Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160885726029&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

Comments: Buyer states: "It doesn't have a serial number, the COACH label is not traditional, it doesn't look, feel or smell of leather, there seems to be A LOT of glueing versus stitching especially on the strap. The front toggle has fake screws..."

There's nothing wrong with that bag. Sheridans WEREN'T traditional, many didn't have serial numbers, they used their own unique turnlocks, and the straps were stiffer. As for the smell, the leather was well-sealed to be water resistant and that can block any leather smell.

Sheridans are discussed in the Salearea Guide to Italian-made Coaches, posted here:

I suggest you read and Bookmark all of them for reference:

This will be the first time I've purchased one on ebay.. I'm not sure if its real or fake..

I'd also like to find a wallet to go with it

It looks genuine but I don't have a record of the name. It's some kind of Chelsea Pebbled Leather Satchel made in 2009.

You might try searching Ebay for "Coach Chelsea Pebbled wallet"
