Did this bag come from ebay or another online venue? If so, please post a link to the listing.

I would have never known if you guys hadn't told me. Still, fakes make me sick because of what they symbolize so it must go. That'll teach me to not have it authenticated here first.

If the seller flips thrift shop purchases, chances are there are other or have been other fakes since she's clearly not authenticating her items before listing them.
This is why post #1 of this thread requires certain details for requests. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-763164.html#post22406795
If there are other current, completed or sold fakes, we can look at the history, report those items and perhaps those buyers will be able to file for refunds too.
Sellers' histories are important as it's not just the current item being questioned that we look at.
BTW, the seller MUST give you a full refund and if she refuses, you will win a dispute. Generally, return shipping is at the buyer's expense, though IMO, for seller error, the seller should make you whole.
You might want to refer luv2thrift4u to TPF for future verification of authenticity. It's her responsibility to do that before listing.
