That listing and that seller, 7859rusty were discussed a few days ago.Trying hard to learn about Coach, Cashin etc... but may have been stuck with a completly bogus bag from Ebay purchase I can show you the listing if somone could tell me if they think it is a counterfeit. Link below.
Actually TetonDeb AKA Sacs Magnifique
told me she did not even recognize the design of the bag from Coach archives. The photos are fairly explicit if someone would take the time to look? How else can I get an authentication? The seller is snippy, curt and defensive and essentially blew me off. Don't want to make a stink without cause. Stitching looks off, feeling of leather and I cannot find the style with the numbers! I am new here and would appreciate your help! Thank you , Melissa
Thanks! Melissa

According to the posts, although the seller does have a history of mixing authentic and fake, Hyacinth believes that bag to be genuine. In fact, two other listings mentioned a few days ago WERE removed.
Here's the previous reply to your earlier post:

That said, there's no excuse for a seller to be rude to a buyer. In fact, 7859rusty DID have the listing for a fake removed in the last few days. It was a bag with a known and proven fake serial number.
I would think that a seller whose account has been dinged in the past for fakes would at least be concerned about getting another "fake" allegation in case another error was made.
Although the law and ebay policy require that sellers know that items are authentic PRIOR to listing, sometimes honest sellers can make mistakes and unknowingly sell a fake. But a seller who sells as much Coach as 7859rusty should be a bit more careful in authenticating his/her items.
ETA: I have another suggestion for 7859rusty in case the seller is lurking and open to suggestions. None of the listings have adequate pictures -- not clear enough, not detailed enough and not the right pictures -- to prove authenticity. For your own good, seller, you need these pictures in order to defend yourself in the event of a dispute. An authenticator needs to be able to look at the pictures and know whether the bags are authentic.
