very few authentic e/w stams on ebay, most likely it will be fake... it's easiest to post the listing. Most real e/w stams will start above $500 I think, anything less is a red flag for a fake.

^ How can we tell? We study and stare at many of these bags for months, their differences can be spotted (some right away, others take longer). We don't just pick up the details in just a few minutes or days.
As of now, authentic MJ bags and replicas are not the same.

I think the same way bag.lover able to tell the difference. I'm still an amateur in picking out fake MJ, especially if they are from the recent seasons. It takes time and practice. This forum helps alot cause you will learn alot more and from my experience, just go to your local dept store that carries Marc Jacobs and study them. Feel the leather and pay attention to every single details while the SA is staring at you 
^ I didn't mean to sound mean, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way.
The differences are not something we really can tell you in 1 posting, it takes time for anyone to learn them. What I recommend is to look closely at pictures of an authentic item and compare the details to the listing that you are interested in.
There are so many fakes out there. If you are trying to buy an authentic MJ item (especially commonly faked styles like Stam, Elise, Blake, Venetia, Stella, etc), please get it authenticated first before proceeding. You can also search for pictures of the real items, spend some time looking/studying the details. You will become familiar and be able to distinguish a good from bad item.

Hi Katerina- I dont know if you have decided yet but I wanted to tell you I saw a zip clutch at the MJ boutique in indigo and I think it is one of the prettiest colors i have ever seen in MJ. That indigo blake is a rare a beautiful purse!!
It would get my vote
lol, I did the same thing in Macy's chicago several weeks ago, I had to smell the leather of the Stam Hobo to see if they have the same smell as mine...:shame:I smell them too sometimes, if no one is looking
the only thing im afraid of is security hauling me off because i'm enjoying the bag to much!!!
I am REALLY new to forums. I triedto post to this thread but apparantly did not make it to the right place. 2 members very kindly replied to whereever I was 
and now my post is closed but 1) I did have other questions regarding this specific bag and 2) I still don't know where I went wrong on trying to post to this thread. Was hoping for some guidance. This is my post: " http://forum.purseblog.com/marc-jacobs/authentic-57481.html"
Thanks!
