How does that happen that Boticelli gets to keep listing fakes and cheating people. Many ebay buyers are unaware of TPF and think that any bag with a creed that states it is a genuine Coach is one. I would think Ebay would ban her from selling!
There are many people who wish it would happen and have been watching and reporting the fake listings of botticelli4grace for several years.

Seems like eBay would do something about her. eBay does very little to sellers that make them money. eBay send generic emails to sellers and that is about it.
It looks like ebay might finally have taken notice. All her (current) listings were ended. It's possible she's on vacation but fingers are crossed that it's more than that.
 
I noticed she does not have any current auctions listed. My guess is that eBay finally did something about her. Now we all have to watch for a new user name :(

Ooops... I just looked at her username again and if she were suspended, it would show unregistered user.
When sellers get what ebay calls "indefinite listing restrictions," they aren't suspended as "not a registered user." They still have an account and can make purchases. They just aren't allowed to sell.
 
What do you guys think of this one?

Item: Dooney & Bourke Black Signature Handbag Purse
Listing number: 151366030196
Seller: planotxauctions

Looks authentic, the pattern on the bag is what QVC sells, must be an exclusive design that Dooney does for QVC to differentiate these bags from the Dooneys sold in the Dooney stores, and department stores. The quality is lower for this pattern, e.g. no fobs, plain design etc.

The bag is authentic. The pattern is Donegal Crest but I don't believe that pattern is/was exclusive to QVC. What I've seen Dooney do for QVC is to put "extras" with bags for a package deal. In this case, there's a key chain and zip around wallet as part of the "ensemble."

Thanks for clarifying the pattern, I couldn't quite remember what it was called

Comments: So I just found this bag listed on ebay, but I actually bought an identical one at a thrift store today. It looks real to me...but I am not an expert. There is a little tag beside the red, white and blue dooney tag that says made in China, but I found that on the Dooney website they do make some bags there now. Is this real?

The bag you show on the ebay listing looks real to me, serial numbers that begin with H, J, K, or L are made in China, and will have a black cloth tag saying "made in China" sewn next to the Dooney tag

It's authentic. The style is a signature pocket zip top and it wouldn't be on the Dooney site because it's about 10 years old.
