Wow my response got removed when the thread was moved.

Red flags that cause serious consideration:

New seller in China has listed 5-6 expensive Herve Leger dresses. All with stolen photos. I believe that if the seller is willing to steal photos and violate copyright, they are dishonest. And I don't deal with dishonest sellers.

The same dress was sold twice.

She is selling 5-6 different expensive dresses, listing them for bare bones prices, in multiple sizes (small and extra small).

If you do pay - make sure you use a credit card. Then it doesn't matter what the seller says, if you get a fake then you can file with your cc company.

Thank you all for the advices!
I'm more suspicious about the authenticity of this dress since she has listed another HL dress after the previous posting closed. I'll ask her to cancel my bid.

Hello girls,

Need some help here... I've bid & won this Herve Leger Red Bandage dress against my personal rules (seller has no previous ebay auction history & this is an oversea transaction) I really like this dress but unsure if this is authentic and she will not provide a refund.

Any HL experts here?

Apology in advance if I've posted this in a wrong forum and thank you!

I am not trying to defend the seller but I just want to know: where do you see all these listings? I only see 1 HL when i click on her items. And i dont see what she sold in the past. Are you searching Goofbay? Also how do You know photos are stolen? Thank You

Click on completed auctions.

The sizing chart is stolen from HL website. The photos of celebrities are owned by Getty Images and were NOT taken by the seller. Those are stolen.

OK. I was confused. Everybody uses those pictures. Powersellers/toprated sellers. Totally legit sellers use celeb/stock pictures. I dont see anything wrong with that. I much rather see that than some stranger modeling (and stretching)the dress that doesnt fit her. In her dirty basement. Same with sizing chart. whatever. I thought the picture with all the tags was stolen.

No idea on the Cavalli, but the Herve Leger is fake. Sorry.

Actually.. How can you tell if a HL dress is fake or not? ><

It's always tough receiving bad news, but nexisfan is right.

The price tag is wrong. The banding is wrong, the closure is wrong. Authenticating can be done when someone is very familiar with the dress styles, tagging associated with each season... basically the same way one authenticates designer bags, jeans, etc.

Hope you get your money back.
