I think I bid on a fake coach after doing some research but I am not 100% sure.http://www.ebay.com/itm/111110283987?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649
If it is a fake one, what should I do? :(

That bag is definitely fake. Style #9953 belongs to a duffle bag.

It looks like the auction has 3 days left to run, if the bag is reported and eBay pulls the listing, you don't have anything to worry about. If you want to cancel now, you can contact the seller and let them know your concerns and request to cancel your bid.

If the auction goes through and you end up being the high bidder, you can open a case with eBay to cancel the sale if the seller isn't cooperative.

You should just be able to cancel your bid. Tell the seller the bag is a confirmed fake - there's NOTHING right about it. It's a mishmosh of details from both a Station Bag and a Willis, and none of the details are even right. The strap is a cheap copy and should never have rivets at the ends, the turnlock leather pieces are trying to look like a Willis piece but the shape and detials are wrong, and there's no dowel at the top - so what is it, a Willis or a Station Bag? It's a cheap ripoff of both styles. Not to mention the phony serial number.

From now on, please ask here BEFORE you bid. And wherever you're doing "research", you're not getting the right answers. That's something that should be done before bidding, especially when there's plenty of time left in the auction. If there are only a few minutes left and you don't have time to ask for other opinions, don't bid.

Seller amravilor

I don't recommend this seller. In addition to the fake Coach, there's an obvious fake LV listing.

She sold this Sports Coach bag:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sportscoach...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Other current Coach listings seem okay so this is a seller who mixes real and fakes and does nothing to verify that her listings are in compliance with ebay policy (and the law).

Item: Black Lexington Briefcase ( I hope?)
In my possession, a thrift shop find
Approx Size: 15.5" l x 11.5" h x 3.5" d
Creed details: "Handcrafted in the United States" #J5C-526
Comments: has what looks like original price tag attached - which is weird to me because the bag definitely is heavily worn on edges - but does appear unused inside, just old, dusty. Unsure about it, but price was so low, I took a chance & purchased, please advise.. thank you!!
:)

ETA- more photos to follow, got bumped offline in middle of pos t

Thanks for your help. I 've sent the seller an email to cancel the bid as you suggested. Hopefully, he/she will cooperate.
