No problem. Aside from the authenticity do you truly like the bag? Is it a deal that's too good to be true?

I do like the bag, but it has to be authentic. I don't support child slave labor and underground drug cartels that the counterfeit handbag business is all about. I do love the braided straps and the pleated leather. I have received many deals on ebay that were too good to be true, but they were for real.Many sellers end their auctions at really bad times of the day, such as two in the morning. They don't consider coast to coast timing or day of the week. Also, they don't use good key words in their titles, which keeps their item from coming up in a search. It ends up getting lost in the thousands of listings. So essentially , their mistakes can be to a buyers gain.. But if you spend hours and hours looking for these poorly listed treasures, believe me, they are there. Often they do not put enough pics or description in the listing, so most buyers will move on, rather than ask for more pics or description, causing the item to get fewer bids and sell for way less than it should. Ebay encourages the auction format by charging less money to list it that way, so many sellers take a chance. There are many ladies who do not know how to sell on ebay and have these treasures in their closets,, and many of them are authentic. I do run into MANY fakes however. Some sellers are aware and trying to rip us off, and others have no clue. It's all knowing how to play the game. It is so nice to have this purse forum to help us in our search for a great deal. I will try later to get those pics on here. Thanks so much.

I agree. It's no problem at all. My participation on here furthers my knowledge on bags. I love it! Have you tried looking at bags on PoshMark? Granted there are fake ones on there too I do see a lot of authentic ones as well.

It's a site but to "shop" you need to download the app on your phone. It's kind of like eBay in that you can post your stuff but it's not auction based you just list your price and sell. It's like a giant closet lol you will love it!

I figured out a way to get the pics on here of the white interior, but I will have to start a new post to attach, so please watch for it, cuz it won't come as a reply to you. It will start as a new post. Here goes.

Got it. Did she provide pictures of the zipper head? Is there a key ring holder hardware? Did she say how old the bag was without hinting it might be vintage? I wouldn't want someone to take advantage by asking "is this bag vintage?" And their response be "sure" lol you get what I mean. You should ask when was this bag purchased, from what, year etc. it could help you search for this bag online to see if it ever did exist and if so what are the details. Authenticating is all about research.

Yes, there is a key ring holder but she didn't send me a pic. It was so inexpensive, I went ahead and paid for it. I will take pics myself when it arrives. I have a fairly good feeling about it though, looking at the date code and how much it is like my vintage bags. But we can go over it further next week to make sure, when I add more pics. If it is fake I can just send it back. Did you see the new ebay user agreement? Stating sellers have to pay return shipping now if not as described??

Sounds good! I def think it's best if you compare your own vintage bag to it since I'm not familiar with vintage MK. But I can def assist you and help you compare details. As for eBay that's great I'm not shocked. eBay sellers should be held accountable for what they post it saves both parties a lot of hassle in the long run.
