I report the fakes, but lately, it seems they don't always get removed.

I also report dust bags and hang tags being sold without accompanying product, but these seldom get taken down. eBay's policy is that these are not allowed because they can be used to falsely "authenticate" fake items.

I called eBay support to ask how to properly report the dust bags and hang tags, and the support rep was unable to provide me with the correct selections in the drop-down menus on the Report page. After several frustrating minutes, he gave up and told me he'd report it from his end.

Since then, for dust bags and hang tags, I've been using:

Report category: Prohibited and restricted items
Reason for report: Illegal items and items encouraging illegal activity
Detailed reason: Other illegal activity concerns

However, the listings usually remain and are sold.

Bookmark this link. Whether ebay will respond to reports is anyone's guess.

Please understand that authenticators on the purse forum volunteer their time in helping buyers and sellers to authenticate items. That's the purpose of the AT (authenticate this...) threads.

To keep posting known fakes on this thread takes a lot of time and is unfair to other members as well as to those who authenticate. Please post known fakes on the Hall of Shame thread where fakes are intended to be posted and reported.

I just used that link and reported several Dooney & Bourke hang tag (without accompanying product) listings. I got an email back from eBay asking me to call them. I had to report the listing numbers to the rep on the phone and she had to file the reports. I don't know if this is any more effective than simply using the "Report" button on each listing (which, so far, has not been working too well!)

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Did they remove the listings after you spoke to the ebay rep?
 
Item: Dooney & Bourke Handbag AWL All Weather Leather Brown Shoulder Bag Purse
Listing: 271837901522
Seller: ganative1978
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-Bour...522?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4acd32d2

Comment: I don't know...that interior pocket looks wrong.
It's fake.

I don't recommend ganative1978. This is fake too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-Bour...166?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4acd73d6

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-Bour...279?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4accf747

In fact, all 3 current listings from ganative1978 are fake.
 
Hello! Wonder if anyone might take a quick look at this White Tassel Tote Satchel for authenticity. It looks solid and straight, but I want to ask an expert. Says assembled in Mexico. Thanks!

May I get this bag authenticated. Actually he has three exactly alike however on separate postings. Looks not right to me. All the evidence I can see of Dooney and Bourke is the silver plate but it is attached directly to the bag. All I've seen have been placed on leather then attached. I have requested pictures of the inside but haven't received any so far.

Item- very beautiful hand bag Dooney and Bourke

Listing
Number-141634558058

Seller: mor-señor
I am unable to upload pictures as I'm new here and I am sorry but I don't know how to add the link. I will greatly appreciate your help with this.
