They are both gorgeous but I think I like the leather one best, and I prefer the price! Both are a little bit younger than the one with the cut pocket as they have the COACH cartouche and not the metal tag.
Wonderful!Thanks to anyone who reported the fake Disco Bag that I posted here a while ago. Ebay removed it and I lodged a claim with PayPal. They decided 'in my favour', however on condition that I return the offending item. I appealed the decision, pointing out that it was a fake and had been removed by ebay (and would cost me $21 to return for a $33.91 refund!) Within a few hours they advised me that I would be refunded in full and would not have to return the bag. Yay for justice!
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
This is the first of three from GW last weekend...

Thanks in advance, as always!

Hiya!Thanks to anyone who reported the fake Disco Bag that I posted here a while ago. Ebay removed it and I lodged a claim with PayPal.

Actually this bothers me a little bit because of the possible repurcusions.
It's happened to me and other sellers where we were wrongfully accused of selling a fake and
had cases opened for returns with that as the reason. It's bad enough that we get that black mark on our account, but now the person would not have to return it????
We know that ebay does not accept authentications from TPF as proof positive one way or another,
(Although I DO of course!).
Think what would happen if a buyer yells FAKE and does not want to return the offending item,
and that item was NOT fake.
What I am saying is how can ebay just allow a buyer to say something is fake and then get a refund without returning it?
I do understand your point, you should not have to pay return shipping - but it opens the door for unscrupulous or "ignorant" people to take advantage of a situation.
PS - Case in point...
I purchased a large lot of Coach & Dooney handbags (10-11 I think) and after I paid and after the seller posted the tracking number I got a message from ebay saying that the listing had been cancelled and I was not responsible any more for completing the transaction.
I notified the seller to see what was going on and she said that ebay had informed her that this was too large a group and the brands she was selling are highly faked so as a precaution (she did not have enough sales under her belt) they removed the listing!
I received the bags no problem, and they were all authentic and in great condition.
If I had told ebay they were fake, according to your scenario and because her listing was pulled with an MC999 violation, I would technically not have to return them and get a refund anyway.
YIKES!!
Good thing I am not one of those unscrupulous people.
I think the best option is to be sure you have the seller provide good pictures to show authentication BEFORE you have the seller mail the purse, AND/OR choose only sellers that accept returns through the managed return process. This way the shipping fees would be on the seller if they want their item returned.
SO what do you think?
I have mixed feelings on this.
There have been many discussion on just this type of scenario on the ebay forum, cases where "authentications" deemed an authentic item as fake and buyers were told to submit documentation and an affidavit of destruction, after which they got their refund. Scamming buyer kept authentic item and got it free.
There have also been cases where fakes were returned to sellers only to be relisted and resold. That's not a good thing either.
In Two.time.bags's case, I think it had more to do with her location than with the fact that the return would cost nearly as much as the refund she'd get.
As I understand, in Australia, it's illegal to send a fake through the mail, even if you're returning it to a seller who ripped you off. (In the US, it's not illegal to own or purchase a fake, nor is it illegal to return a counterfeit item.)
Depending on the country, the victim's only recourse is as Two.time.bags had.
How does this bag look?

As long as you get the same bag that's shown in the photos, it's genuine.
