I have to figure out how to load the pics. I know it is getting late, so we can check it out tomorrow, unless you are a night owl, like me! lol! Wish me luck, I am sure I will figure it out, though. Thanks.
OK, think I got it now. Let's see.

OK, I had to start a new post to be able to use jpegs. This is in response to 'suheycitasworld' in reference to not having seen M & K on tassels before. I actually have seen it on many vintage bags. Here is one I bought in the late 80s at Macys in Chicago when I was visiting my sister. The white bag I bid on looks very much like mine and I thought it would be nice to have one in white, but they are very hard to find anymore, because they don't make them anymore, of course. In fact , I have 3 of these with the M & K stamp on the Tassels. They probably stopped doing it that way years ago ( I am old! lol!) and now do it using the whole name, as you say. Here are some pics, I finally figured it out! ( I think)

While the white bag I just purchased is very similar, there are major differences. Is really hard to find these anymore. I love the braided straps! So I don't want to count it out just yet if it is just the tassels you are questioning. She is sending me pics of the interior tomorrow and I will post them here soon as I can. Thanks!
My biggest question about the white bag, is why is the MK logo plate on the side , rather than on the front, like my bags. If you notice, on both of my vintage bags, the MK logo plate is on the front.
Back to this one, please help me report this, since we all agree it is fake. It has four bids on it already and I feel sorry for the buyers that are getting burned! There is only 20 hours left on the auction.. Thanks

The link you provided didn't work for me. However lets consider a few things:
Considering the bag is white if in fact it were an authentic vintage piece it would be yellowing by now even if it were never used I believe.
Those tassels seem very easy to replicate and I'm wondering if that is the reason you don't see it on any newer bags.
The MK plate on the side looks weird. I have never seen any Michael Kors bag (monogram doesn't count) with just MK spelled on a label.
Without considering anything at first glance the bag looks cheap and ordinary.
Well, on my bags, if you felt the leather, and could touch the quality, you would not think they are cheap quality. The hardware is all solid brass , the stitching is impeccable and the thick soft leather is beyond reproach. Back in the 80s , the braided strap design was really hot and you saw bags with that MK logo everywhere. In the stores and on your friends. Frankly, the leather is much thicker and better than on my newer bags. So I guess it is hard to tell from a photo. Did you even see the photos? I had to start a new post to be able to us jpeg pics. I posted two vintage MK bags with the same logo plate and tassels. You would need to go back on the pages, because it was't a reply to you, it was a new post ( 2 of them)
And now, the woman with this 1000.00 bag, came up with a receipt from the MK store. Hmmm, really makes me wonder.

Yes, She just sent me the pics of the interior through ebay messaging and I can't download them to place here, but it has the little plastic tab that says 'China B 1081' on it.( hard to read so may be off a digit) It also has the rectangular leather tab that says 'MICHAEL Michael Kors' on it, and the signature interior looks correct with the signature design...hmmm. Wish I could get the pics on here, but I have to say, that from the pics I am seeing of the interior and the date code plastic tab, it really does look authentic. Hmmm ...this is a hard one.
Can you email them to me and I would take a look at it/upload the pics on to here for others to give you their opinion.
