how did u find out it was a fake?

Box, envelope, and leather are all off. Not to mention that the care booklet reads "Monogram Cherry Blossom". The care booklet should read "Cuir Glace".

Thanks for the warning. That is why my husband buy all my stuffs from the LV boutiques.

Here's the email reply of the ebay sellerpics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif multiautogroup23
"Hello, although you think the item is FAKE, its not. I have pictures for proof and I also took a picture of the serial number. There are multiple pictures for you to check out. Maybe if you change you mind after checking out the pictures we can move on."

What a con artist.

That's awful, the photo would look good to someone who isn't too familiar with LV. Did you report him?

This is why I'm so scared of ebay! I'm glad you didn't get scammed!
