Hi, is it normal for resellers not to send photos of authenticity card and serial number? Ive asked for one but they only send once sale is confirmed and paid for. Idk what to do

You'd be taken a pretty risky gamble if you buy without seeing authenticity card and serial number. From a seller's perspective, I could understand why she may be hesitant to freely share it at the risk of someone stealing the images to use to sell a fake. Can you ask her to Edit the card and serial tag to blur out or cut out the last 4 or 6 digits? That should tell you whether the year released matches her listing and other telltale signs of authenticity. Still, I would be wary of buying from online resellers you don't know much about since there are superfakes circulating and I would recommend sending to a third party authenticator immediately after receiving as long as the seller has a return policy. Good luck!
 
Has anyone bought from @luxuryshoppingmood on IG? They sent me a lot of pictures as well as the receipt and I’m fairly sure they have an authentic bag, but I’m always worried they’ll take my money and run. The reviews they’ve shared seem good but I have no experience with resellers
I did just recently and I’m still waiting for the bag. She said she shipped it via DHL but I have not received tracking and she has not been responsive to my inquiries. I’m very upset and now I have to see what my options are. I will be reporting her if I don’t get a response.

I also purchased from her and the item has been shipped. She did say she has had problems with her Instagram and being shut out (I know people who post a bunch of brand items have been shut out by IG like Isabelle’s style I believe). Friends who have made enquiries about items also haven’t been getting replies like normal. I’ll see what comes of it, I have the possibility to charge back if needed but hoping it will not come to that. Will update on here!
 
Disclaimer : I have not bought from JuliaRoseBoston and nothing against her, but i thought of highlighting this thread about her posting a fake bag on her page to attract customers.


Buyers be careful when buying from resellers!
