Outside back pocket zipper pull is wrong, lining should be black-on-black stripes, "scrtches" is missing the "a", and the number is on the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers list, and also on the list I've posted here at tPF.

If you put a link to the Fake Numbers List in any reports to Ebay, always use the link to the Ebay Guide by Daria48, it has more Ebay "cred" than the tPF link.

It is fake. There are lots of things wrong with it such as the wrong style number, but the most glaring thing is that the pattern doesn't match at the seams. Patterns don't always have to match at the seams but in this type of signature they do.

ETA: I just noticed the price! This seller obviously doesn't have much experience with Coach. Did you notice the peeling? It shows that it is just a thin layer of vinyl over some type of filler rather than real leather.

ETA: Oops, you are the seller! forzamo I'm sorry if I insulted you but you are breaking purse forum rules. It is not allowed to authentic your own live listings. I've noticed you've been doing it for a long time.

No insults taken. Thank you for the info. Is there a way to authenticate items without making a live listing? Perhaps not on this website? Thank you for everything and my apologies, I was unaware.

I noticed that in the past you just linked to your photos. That is allowed. It is safer too because if ebay removes your listing before you do, your account will be affected.

My recommendation to sellers is that when planning to sell any item that you personally didn't purchase from a legitimate source (i.e., authorized retailer), you should have those items authenticated before listing them. Sellers are required to know that items are authentic prior to posting a listing.

Thanks Hyacinth. It's already gone. Good advice about including the link to the Daria fakes list when reporting.
