hi experts!
considering getting this cute bag from eBay seller 1itsnewtoyou:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dooney-bou...GGzT:sc:USPSFirstClass!94941!US!-1:rk:37:pf:0

Here's a pic:

I don't see any problems, but to confirm authenticity, please ask the seller for a picture of the red white and blue tag sewn inside the bag.

Welcome to the Purse Forum!
I agree with @Catbird9 that sellers should show both sides of the red, white and blue tag with serial number but in this case, I able to confirm authenticity.

It's a bucket bag from the IT collection (about 2004-05) and the color is called bubble gum.

Thank you BeenBurned! I love learning about the names of the collections and really appreciate you all sharing your knowledge (and love of these bags!) with everyone!
I will ask for a photo, but worry that it wasn't included (I think she should know better since she isn't a newbie and has many bags listed), and also that she has never EVER replied to any one of my questions.
Cheers!
 
Sounds like a seller that doesn't want your business. I doubt she would respond if you have a problem after the sale.
^^^^ I'd find a better and more responsive seller than 1itsnewtoyou. (And if this were a bag you were interested in, I'd be tempted to let her know why she lost a customer!)

For the record, you might want to find a different seller anyway. In my records, I see that she had fake Dooneys twice in June.

Thank you! I'll see if she will send it, but she has NEVER, not once, answered a question I've sent (and there have been many)!

I agree, you might want to look further. Here's another one, from a different seller, for comparison.

OK, thanks, that sounds terrible, but now I feel like if its fake it shouldn't be listed for some other poor person to buy...
 
PS - how is she still allowed to sell on eBay with 2 fakes twice in the same month!?!?!
It happens all the time. It takes more than a few fakes for ebay to kick someone off. They might limit the amount she can list for awhile. It depends on if those fakes were reported and removed by ebay. A lot of fakes never get removed.
