So you were the seller and now she is saying it is not real leather?? I looked at her feedback and she does buy A LOT of Dooney and Bourke bags. None as expensive as yours though. Could be buyer remorse. Point being... she has to take it to a store and have the manager state that it is not leather. I can see why you are worried because you have 100% positive feedback. You can do a few things. You can offer to refund the price of the bag minus the shipping, and file for a final value fee credit to protect your feedback. That is a really safe way to go. You can ask her to take it to a D&B store and prove that it is not leather. She might not do that and get mad and leave negative fb, but you can always deal with eBay to get it taken off stating that the buyer refused to authenticate it and just left negative fb. eBay these days and their new 'protect the buyer' rules. SO frustrating!! Looking through her stuff she seems like a nightmare. She actually states in her bra auctions " IF YOU ARE OVERLY PICKY, A PAIN TO PLEASE OR JUST PLAIN CRANKY.....PLEASE DO NOT BID!! PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING!! ASK QUESTIONS!!"
Has she told you what she wants? Would she be happy with a refund minus the shipping? I would play it safe because she seems like a difficult person. You might have to just suck this one up to protect your feedback. I'm curious what other people will tell you to do. Good luck!! I feel for you, I really do.
