I really need help with this bag I purchased on ebay and I hope someone could help me somehow, as I have no clue about how MK bag should look like, well at least when it comes to separating real from fake, I am not good at all with that and I would like to get some peace of mind

I took these photos myself but added the link with the seller`s photos. What I dont feel happy about is that the MK lock has the same picture both sides, whereas my other MK bag`s lock is different from the other side, does it matter? This bag`s lock has MK both sides of the lock, when my other bag doesnt have it on the other side but has michael kors written on the other side and MK on the other (the photos Ive taken of the lock are from both sides).

I really really need some help even if you werent sure as Im far from that :/ I still have little bit time to return if there was something obviously wrong with this! thanks.

I'm not sure about the lock. I have one in gold hardware and yes only has the MK on one side and small Michael kors written on the other. Does this bag feel like leather or smell like leather to you? Also inside of every MK bag there is a little tab that would said "made in ____"and has number (indicated the date when the bag was made) you can read more on this link below

If you have any doubt about this bag or not happy just return it. Hope this help!

Is this authentic? Did they even make this bag in vanilla? Also, I find it strange that the same bag has been auctioned twice in the past by the same seller...at least I think it's the same exact bag. They have the same blue-ish color transfer on the back. Here are the old listings:

Thanks a lot for the response jjmoon and gatorgirl07
I am very bad at knowing what is leather and what is not :( must sound stupid but I dont know how to recognize it. It had the little plastic tag inside saying Made in China and then some number, but the writing was other way around than in my other MK bag. The seller says on the description "no returns" so I dont know if I should just try to open case and ask for a return as the lock is making me feel nervous. Also the handles seem quite cheap/not strong at all.
I just wonder if it is enough to tell to ebay that I doubt it being authentic, mostly by the lock. I did find a thread here people discussing about which side of the lock do you keep your bag etc so it must be that they are always different on both sides? I am like 90% sure that it is fake especially as I found exactly the same looking bag on here: http://www.shangdabag.com/michael-k...tote-nude-leather-silver-mkn352yfw-p-266.html
Then again I live in other country so the return shipping would be quite expensive. I wonder how I can proof then that I have shipped it back so that noone would say it is lost or didnt arrive etc.

Idk if the seller guaranteed that it's genuine or not.....? This what I would do if I were you.
Try to contact her first and tell her you had this bag authenticated and it's not real see if she can works with you. She might not even know it's a fake?? Ask her where was she purchased it from and if she has a receipt to prove that is authentic.
I have doubts about this bag, the handles doesn't look like its real leather (it discolored) I don't think real leather would discolored like that, it might just looks dirty from carrying it but it shouldn't fade like that. And the lining of this bag I've never seen it before.
Just contact her and see what she would say. Good luck!
That link is definite FAKE!!! They didn't even get the retail price right???

Shape looks bad and so does the stitching..I'm not an expert, just a selma lover. I'm 99% sure the bag is fake

The MICHAEL KORS is doesn't lined up right and it doesn't spaced evenly. I'm pretty sure this bag is a fake. .

Thanks again jjmoon

On the selling advertisement it did say it`s rrp price and said that it is a genuine item.

I asked for a return and said that she might not have known that it could be a fake. She just responded that it was bought 2010 and different alterations came afterwards. The handles seem so fragile/weak to me, I dont think they would last so many years, if even weeks, so I doubt it having been used and still in such good condition. Maybe I should ask where it was bought from though then again it doesnt guarantee anything and also I doubt she would have the receipt if she bought it 2010.

The bag is kind of "loose" and doesnt have a proper shape, though I have seen some other loose genuine bags though many of them seem to have a harder shape. I sent an email to Michael Kors corporate I dont know if they would help (this is the advice I got from MichaelKors website`s help chat). It would be a dead giveaway if there was never a lock with the same pictures on both sides. Then again the key opens the lock so would they make a fake so good. It also got Michael Kors texts in right places but also on the lock I would say the Michael kors text is a bit too big compared to the other bag, I dont know if the size differs.

If you were me would you open case on ebay and ask for return based on these? What if I dont get the refund and I send it back, it would cost maybe 25-30 euros to send it back from where I live. I am far from an expert it just seems like weird to me. Also it is funny if they had changed the lock to be different later on but also possible maybe I have no idea.

@ Toms
If I were you I would open the case and I would hold on to the bag until she refund your money. I don't know about the lock though, I've never seen the lock like that. I live in U.S may be we have different designs here idk??? Let me know how it goes!

Will someone please authenticate this MK Hamilton in Orange Ostrich for me? I'm seeking an orange handbag and considering a couple of options. I will say I have not jumped on the MK Bandwagon and do not own any MK handbags. However, this one seems unique with the orange color and ostrich. TIA for authentication help!

Thanks for your input. Yes, she is a beauty! I'm just worried about the authenticity. I sent the seller a message with a couple of questions. I am awaiting the response. If no response, then it'll be no bueno for me.

If anyone has experience buying from the seller, please let me know. I'm a newbie to purchasing handbags from eBay. I purchased my first one the other day (a Marc Jacobs bag) based upon posts I've seen on TPF...and the seller is a TPFer.

I just purchased mine from eBay a few days ago and it was as I expected. I bought a hamilton e/w satchel and I've questioned the seller about the authenticity and I read the reviews. I guess you have to know your bags and be able to tell the difference.
