The Moderators for this thread are Lee and Addy. Please do NOT PM them to request an authentication. Please post in this thread.

NOTE: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

READ THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING A REQUEST

This is a free service. Our authenticators are volunteers providing their opinions, and who desire to keep counterfeiters and dishonest sellers from profiting from their trade, and to help buyers find authentic items. Authenticators are not required to answer all posts and, for various reasons, some may not be answered.

It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell bags. It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication for designer items. If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.

1. Do a SEARCH and check if the item has been reviewed by one of the senior authenticators before posting a request. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).

2. You MUST use the format below when requesting for authentication for auctions or non-auctions:

Format to use for an auction item:

Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link: (please make sure link works after you post) Don't post mobile web link.

Format to use for items from sites of professional seller:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link: (please make sure link works after you post)
Photos: (attach using the paperclip at the top of the message box or upload to photobucket.com and post the links)

We will not authenticate for those who post photos only and cannot provide link to online auction/sale.

3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we.

At minimum, pics MUST include:
- all exterior
- interior
- LV heat stamp
- date code
- engraving on hardware (ie. zipper pull, lock, rivet, pushlock, screws, etc)

If the listing or your request does not have the required pics, it will NOT be reviewed. That means if you have not received a response, please check your original posting to ensure all information and pics are present.

Check out this thread! If you're using Photobucket, don't post mobile photobucket links, pics are too small, post links.

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.

4. Do NOT make more than 3 requests per post.

5. Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your request. Search by seller or item # to ensure that it has not been reviewed (see rule 1). If the auction is ending soon, you may say so in your comments. Remember, we are just like you, and get on tPF when we have time so please be patient.

6. To ensure that additional pics requested are seen by the authenticators, quote or provide a link to your original request and response. Use the quote feature or copy and paste the url. Failure to do do may result in your query not being answered. Please utilize the quote feature when responding directly to another post.

7. Comments on price and/or condition are NOT permitted. So please do not ask us for an opinion.

8. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

9. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.

10. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function ( button) to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

All Authenticate This threads on tPF are meant to provide assistance to shoppers who are uncertain about the legitimacy and authenticity of designer goods. The evaluations posted by tPF's members are only opinions that stem from personal experiences as shoppers and collectors.

Hello and welcome! :smile:

Please Read Post 1 @ Page 1. We require a Link to Sale/Auction to Authenticate. We also Do Not Authenticate private items (No Link). Do you have a Link to Sale/Auction? If not, please use a paid third party Authentication service such as Authenticate4U. Also please Do Not upload pictures on to any other Thread until you have confirmation of Authenticity. Thank you and Good Luck! :smile:

Hello! I'm searching an item on brandoff eBay and I was looking to have it authenticated. I know it's a reputable reseller and that the laws in Japan are very strict against counterfeit, but you can never be too sure!
Thanks in advance!

Listing pics are awful? All fuzzy & blurry?

Need ALL new pictures. Pictures need to be taken Up Close Straight on Without Flash/Glare.

Missing ALL required pictures needed to authenticate. Due to the awful pictures in listing I have no idea if it's even Authentic? (It could be authentic? But due to pics impossible to confirm?) Please Read Post 1 carefully. :ty:

Link to required pics: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-lv-authentication.649743/

Thank you! I required more pict and ask receipt from seller but don't get the answer so I dropped this case. Hope to get your help in next cases. I will read post 1 carefully.
 


This is not a Valid Link to Sale/Auction? It is a Log in or Join page? Which I do not do Sorry. Nor is your request in required Format as outlined @ Post 1. Please Read Post 1 @ Page 1 very carefully. Thank you! :smile:

This is what it shows me: And asking me to enter my e-mail & password? (which I cannot do as I am not a Member of this site) Which I will not do, Sorry!

To log in, you need an account for My Marketplace. Then you can now:

I also Do Not Authenticate items from sites that require me to either Log in / Join or Download an App. It is stated in my Signature # 3. Thank you for understanding and Good Luck! :smile:

Sorry, But I personally do Not Authenticate items from this site, I cannot view the listing due to a "Pop up" window asking me to either Log in or Join which I do not do, Again Sorry! And uploading pictures from listing will not help as I need to be able to see the actual item that is listed. Thank you for understanding and Good Luck! :smile:

Maybe try another site that doesn't require me Log in / Join or Download an App? :idea:
 
PLEASE READ POST 1 @ PAGE 1 PRIOR TO POSTING YOUR REQUEST. THANK YOU! :flowers:

If your Request was Skipped PLEASE READ POST 1 @ PAGE 1 or My SIGNATURE AS TO WHY? Thank you all! :heart: :heart:
