Thanks, BeenBurned. It sounds like I should be careful. I've asked the seller for a photo of the back of the tag. I'll post it here if she sends it and you don't mind sharing your expertise again.
Certainly. I think this particular bag is okay.

This seller (on all her various IDs) sells enough on multiple sites and has also had enough listings removed to know that she needs to show proof of authenticity. In fact, this is a post from a few months ago listing various IDs and previous fakes:

I wasn't able to view the last attachment myself, so I'm sending it again. Sorry for any duplication.
The bag and the serial number tag look fine.

I just wish Belmodo (Bonanza, ebay and Etsy) and ciccionetta (ebay) would include all the necessary pictures in her listings so the back-and-forth requests wouldn't be necessary. Personally, I wouldn't go to the trouble of making all the photo requests if I wanted one of her items. I'd just find another seller who shows the right pictures in the first place.
 
Please help! eBay and bonanza pulled my ads about my Dooney but I can't figure out why!!

When listings are removed, you should get an email telling you why it was removed. I'm assuming you got emails that told you the items are counterfeit and against their rules.

The bag you've shown wasn't made by Dooney and Bourke. It's fake.

Welcome to the forum. Regarding this bag: the flat rivets that attach the handle anchors to the bag are wrong. The oval duck emblem is incorrect. The stitching is irregular. The interior of the bag and the pocket style are incorrect.

If you'd like to see a genuine Dooney & Bourke shoulder satchel (which is apparently what they were trying to copy here), please see http://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/SAT/840-zipshoulder-bonebt.htm and look closely at the details I've pointed out above.

In the future, to avoid problems, please get an authentication done here or elsewhere before listing a designer bag. :flowers:
 
Genuine Zipalong Wallet, style W52 if it measures about 8.5 x 5.5
Wow, really?! Those are the measurements. Thank you! It even came with money inside! Do you have any idea about how to fix those ragged edges along the inside edges (you can see it near the tag, pictures 3 and 4)? It's even worse on the other side of the wallet.

Always nice to find money in a wallet! I don't know of any way to fix the ragged edges inside, sorry. The interior coating on those has a tendency to flake or peel off, or get stuck to smooth leather opposite it. (For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Doo...755509?hash=item1c3f84da35:g:z~sAAOxyBvZTVZUQ )
