Best/Worse Ebay Purchase!
- Thread starter Faithful
- Start date
My first purchase ever was a fake: orange Tods "driving loafers" (sooooo not real) for $139.00. I didn't want bad feedback, so I thanked them and left a positive feedback.
Best was a solid 18 kt gold Baume and Mercier watch (had it checked, it's very real!) Worth $$$$ and I got it for $500

Not sure which is my best... probably a brand new dvd set worth over $100, which I scored on ebay for $32.
Worst would have to be the two times I received fakes... one was a burberry scarf, which I paid $47 for, and it's just sitting in my closet. Another one was a pair of Seven Jeans for $65, but I got my money back. This was more than 3 years ago, and I've since been more careful and thankful that there are forums like tpf that help authenticate!

Best: I bought an authentic ostrich Gucci drawstring bag. It's soooo beautiful!
Worse: I bought a fake Gucci messenger bag. I waited to long before I got it authenticated, even though I only live 8 minutes from a Gucci boutique. I hate knowing that its even in my house. I put it in the cornfield. ha ha

Best - Just recently the vintage LV papillon 30 with pochette for only $250
Worst - This counterfeit beanie baby (yes, I did collect!) for $12. I got my money back but the seller ripped me off on shipping, but whatever, it was a lesson learned, and I've become extra cautious of what I buy these days.

My worst eBay purchase was that Louis Vuitton Multicolore bag that I bought from a Powerseller who sold charms. The bag turned out to be a fake and when I tried to contact the seller in an attempt to mail back the bag, she wouldn't answer her phone! I waited a few months after and contacted her again. This time she picked up the phone and agreed to refund me the money. When I did receive the refunds, I noticed that she took out PAYPAL fees (which would've been refunded to her anyway) and other miscellaneous fees from her total. That seller is still doing business on eBay, all because she was a powerseller
As for best purchase, I'm going to have to think on that one.

best: almost new LV Cabas Piano from a seller with crappy pics and no feedback for $350
worst: when I bought an authentic Fendi bag and the seller had no sense of measurement. The bag came half the size they stated it was. I couldn't even fit a wallet in it.
