i don't see how anyone in their right mind - and maybe that is the point!:confused1: - could think they could get away with saying that this bag is not real kathybee! it most indeed is!


and I had no doubt about this one until she wrote back

why would you doubt it just because she said so?? and did she say she did not recieve the bag and then that it wasn't real? i don't see how she could make that statement if it wasn't in her hands? :confused1: did she think it was a fake when she bought it just to get it in her hands to say "i was right! it is a fake!" :rolleyes:
 
Kathy,

When an honest seller has nothing to hide, it doesn't hurt to make your post on the ebay boards and get responses. Sometimes that's all it takes to reassure a doubting buyer, though this one sounds more like a scammer to me.

Remember what happened yesterday when the other buyer (who pulled the fake card) was caught after delawaredropauction posted her listing on the boards. She will win her dispute and you will win your's.

Good luck. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

I went to Macy's about 3 year ago (possibly longer) and purchased this bag. Now I have heard stories about people buying fakes returned to stores that sell the real thing. I have bought other Dooney items at this Macy's and I have never been doubted in their authenticity before. However, I posted this one on ebay and twice now it has been removed. So I'm wondering if I was "tricked." I have seen very few bags in this style, I remember the store also had a pink one when I went, where mine is aqua it was pink. My friend went back and bought it a week later. I no longer have the registration card, but it did come with one. It also came with a nile collection tag. There is a stain on the lining (that was listed in the ad) here are the pictures....

Absolutely authentic. It's a mini barrel bag, nile collection.

If you list it, be sure to make it clear that it's a small bag.
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am going to relist it on Sunday, I hope people STOP reporting it. I made sure to tell them it is small and that I could only fit a small wallet, a small cell phone, a pen, and some cosmetics in it.

You can't relist it without getting the go-ahead from ebay. When a counterfeit item is pulled (and I'm assuming that why they told you they pulled it), authenticity has to be proven before you can relist. If you relist before getting approval, you risk suspension.

(That's why I pm'ed you.)

Accually if it is a so-so knockoff they may get away with it. The sales ladies are bottom line employment & are not trained like Louis Vuitton sales reps. Most of them are young highschool/collage age people. Who casually have no idea how to authenticate anything. Some are really with it but others are only there for their paycheck.

She showed her photobucket pictures of an authentic Dooney bag. True some employees aren't trained to recognize if a buyer has done a "buy-and-switch," but in this case, that isn't a problem.

There is absolutely no question that those pictures are of an authentic Nile mini barrel bag.
 
^^^^^ Yeah I thought that was real too. I was just saying it could happen. I was at Younkers last week to buy a Dooney Yellow Crossword that was on sale & I was like "Can I see the Yellow Dooney Bouke Crossword?" and the girl was like "For what?"
