OMG HELPPPPPPPPPPP SOMEONE IS GOING IN MY PHOTOBUCKET AND DEALING WITH IT..any idea hw is that possible without a password?

If the pictures did belong to you, then how can you explain TheIIIrdEmpire's logo reflection in one of your shots (I outlined it in orange in the last photo), and also how TheIIIrd Empire's pictures are larger and yours seem to crop out the logo that was originally there?

Here are the images side-by-side:

sorry i know its going out of topic..but just how exactly do we watermark them? is there any option on the internet we can do that?any links u are familiar with? do we pay for it?
thanks in advanca michi_chi

You can watermark (write text across the photo) using some of the free photo editing programs, like gimp (www.gimp.org) and several others. So you basically write across the photo before you upload it.

That's really considerate of you, thank you, averagejoe!

Ditto from me too - I saw this bag too and it looks lovely but your advice is very true thanks Averagejoe. I got the same story about being away for work til Tuesday - makes you wonder why they posted the bag for sale if she was going to be away. Think I will end up a Ave Montaigne and pay more but know its 100%!

This looks very suspect.

And you get superior service with a nice gift box that can be used for storage.

I agreed, what was the purpose of doing that ?

BTW that bag's winning bid was $2,330.99.

OMG! I'm in shock right now!

The forum where I'm selling my stuff asks sellers take pictures of their bags with their label ID. Pictures with watermark are not allowed because cheat sellers can steal pictures from someone else and make watermark with their ID, they sell goods which is not in their hands.

Please take a look at my other bags, these pictures were taken in same background (in my office), same Label ID.

Would a fake Dior have an authenticity card in side pocket? The card looks like a credit card, with a serial number on it, and wrapped in plastic.

Just curious,
Veronica

Some would, yes. A authenticity card does not guarantee that it is authentic.

Well, it certainly seems odd that Johnjohn2011 would claim that it is her pictures ... it is clear that they are not - or was the problem that her photobucket.com account had been hacked and someone had posted those pics there, purleeeease!

Incredibly bad TPF-style IMO!

My thoughts exactly. I thought we were here to share honestly.

 

[johnnjohn2011]

to everyone who is accusing me, i have never said those pictures were mine eventhough i have a pink quilted lambskin lady dior which was sold ages ago . it is too obvious that someone is using my id and i have to remind you that my ebay id is johnnjohn2011 not luxurybagbuys. i have requsted the information of this person which includes adress, name and phone number and i am sure i will know who it is...i will share it here on the purseforum but im not sure whether it is against ebay policy says the information is only used for ebay purposes...but i think this matter is an ebay purpose and i am soo furious.

and also i dont need to sell fake bags to make money as i can already afford anything i want in my life

Are some fakes done in real leather as well? (I hope I'm doing this correctly)

hmmm...so johnnjohn2011 is not the "cunning" scamming Ebay seller, luxurybagsbuys, eh? Isn't it just a coincidence that the seller happen to had purchased a dior crocodile malice handbag the same as our dear tpf member proudly revealed?

Hi,
I have no idea what's going on this thread. What I DO know is it's a thread for authenticity questions/answers only. It's terribly off course and it needs to get back to it's intended purpose please.

If someone can give a very BRIEF but detailed explanation I'd be open to hear it! But the reports that have come in must assume that we already are following this - but we are not so they are not making sense.

Again, back to topic now please. If you have any concerns or facts that you wish to share please do so via reported post or PM.
