Authenticity Question!

[princepreston]

Hello everyone! (: I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but if an eBay seller has extremely high feedback, can that itself justify that the item is authentic if they say so? I'm new to buying new and pre-loved designer bags on eBay and I found a very interesting thread with lots of information on vintage Gucci but through reading it, I find that its very hard to determine fakes from reals, especially for someone like me. Any help is super appreciated!

If you have your eye on a specific ebay listing, you can post your request in the Gucci authentication thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/gucci/authenticate-gucci-read-rules-use-format-posts-1-a-689655-330.html

Of course not. You'd always want to check each item specifically for authenticity. Sometimes the seller can be unknowingly duped him/herself.

I'm a keen ebayer & as much as I would like to reassure you, I don't always believe that high feed back is justification for authenticity ,
