Sorry, wallets are notoriously hard to authenticate. There are just too many, and not enough records of what they're supposed to look like especially when we don't know the style number. And wallets are very easy to accurately fake. When the crooks get the small details right there's no way to tell.

Sometimes it happens that no one knows the answer for sure. Buying wallets to re-sell is always risky.

1- may be genuine but one of the charms is missing. The link for it is still on the keyring, see the picture below

2- probably ok

3- seems ok

4- those were highly faked, may be ok

I agree with Hyacinth's assessment but this is assuming that the sellers all used their own pictures. (Many sellers on PM steal pictures. When you receive the items, verify that the keychains you receive are the same as shown in the photos.)

Let me add a caveat too. If you intend to purchase a lot of keychains, I strongly recommend that you come here first. While you risk exposing the listing and losing it to another buyer, you also can save yourself the hassle of disputes and returns.

Fake keychains are very common and especially on Poshmark where they do little to limit sellers from listing fakes, there are more fakes than authentic.

Seller: abuck99andmore
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en
Comments: Not sure what this style is called. Is it really 8.5 x 11" large, if anyone has seen one in real life?

Thanks for any help!

It's a style 9944 Taylor Zip, introduced for Spring 1994 but the first ones were made in late 1993.

Coach gives the measurements as only 11x6 1/4x2 3/4

I disagree, it's missing. If it was there, why wouldn't the seller show it? There's nothing attached to that link.

You can't authenticate styles, only individual keychains. That particular one looks genuine but another one that looks almost like it might not be.
