hi ladies, i hope someone can help me out here ASAP. i bought this herve leger dress many months back on ebay from a trusted seller with many feedbacks and it looks 100% A ok and i own many hl pieces that i bought in store so i hope you don't find me a big fat cry baby but i just want to be 100% sure it is authentic.
why have it authenticated now after months? because i just sold it again and this morning i was looking at the feedback of the seller and saw she sold the same dress again. of course she could have sold the other one for a friend but then i went to google and saw this particular model has been faked so much and i just got really scared. i just do not want to be selling a fake.
again the seller has many good feedbacks on her herve leger dresses and she sold many.also, it looks good to me and i know quite a few things about hl owning many pieces. also i did not get the dress for a to good to be true price. i just want to be sure, since i HATE fakes, do not buy them and most surely do not want to sell them :(
ofcourse i alsways have a 100% authentic or full money back guarantee but still...what if it is fake and the buyer would not see it then we'd both never know and she's be stuck with a fake dress that i then sold to her. don't want that to happen since i consider it my responsibility to be 100% sure about it's authenticity. up until this point i always have been but now i am more 99% sure.
again you will probably say don't be such a cry baby it is fine but i just want to be 100% sure not 99%. i just got really scared all of a sudden after seeing she sold another and then seeing that is a much faked model. hope you gals understand.
could you please help out asap since i promised to ship it out this afternoon

YIKES, i hate to be the barer of bad news......... but........that is a fake. the gold foil ones are actually easiest to spot since they don't have the foil over them. they are just gold toned with a glitter in them. may i ask how long ago you bought it exactely? did you pay with paypal using creditcard? i'd make sure i'd do a chargeback if i were you. i don't find you a ''cry baby'' :) it is good that you care so much. many sellers just would have send it out. unfortunately ebay is full of such sellers. obviously.

oh my!? are you sure? is it not possible there are more versions? not that i doubt your opinion i just kind of expected a ''authentic, what are you worrying about, chill'' pfff i paid 576 pounds for it. i just wanted it so badly that i thought what the hack. i also that that if they were priced a little on the higher side that would be a guarantee of authenticity. it has been about 5 months. i did pay with paypal but i did not use a credit card i used my paypal funds. i don't think it is still possible to file a claim it this point anymore? any suggestions on what my options are to get my money back. also there is the buyer to whom i sold it. this sucks for her too. this whole transaction went kind of awful already due to a mistake that i made. i listed it but then i had to go to bahrain unexpectedly for business so was not able to ship it out in time so it took me over a month to get back and now this. obviously i will refund her but is there something else that would be appropriate to do? maybe pay her a little extra. i don't know i have never been in a situation like this. any advise would be great.
thanks for the fast responce!

i am sure. there is only one version of the authentic gold foil. this one is without any doubt fake. i'm sorry, i wish i could tell you otherwise.
i can't tell you what you should do when it comes to the buyer besides refunding the paid amount. personally when this would have happened to me i'd just refund the paid amount and apologize and leave it at that. after all unlike you she does not have any damages. at 576 pounds?!?! loss this situation is far worse for you then it is for her i'd say
of course it is something for everyone on their own to decide. if you feel more comfortable giving something in return for the situation then you should but especially in this situation i'd say a refund and an apology should be more then enough and if she is a reasonable person i don't think she would ask for more.
i am not really that familiar with normal paypal claims as i always pay with credit card via paypal and do a charge back when an item turns out to be fake or whatever. what you could do if you cannot file a claim anymore is contact the seller nicely first. explain the situation and tell her you'd like to return the dress for a refund. who knows maybe she will just take it back?
if she won't and you've tried it the nice way then threaten to report her to ebay and also threaten to make note of her illegal selling activities on the purse forum and many other forums so that when people google her they will see she sells fake and also say you will report her to herve leger and that they might sue her if worse comes to worse. perhaps she then might find it easier to take back the dress. in that case though be careful that you send it back insured and with a tracking number. that is unfortunately the best advise i can give you. maybe other ladies on here can help give more info on the paypal situation, maybe there are possibilities left in that department too?

Hi all. From the UK here... I have never bought a Herve Leger dress and was wondering if any of you experts out there could authenticate or not these dresses...

1. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150461884424

2. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150461886870

3. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280529045717

4. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320556921798

The blue one with the panels is the one I really would really like to get. There are 2 there. I am suspicious as it appears both sellers also sell Abercrombie and Fitch items?

Any ideas.

Thanks

SORRY I MISSED YOUR POST....totally overlooked it.
these 2 dresses are without any doubt fake:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150461886870#ht_819wt_1137
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150461884424#ht_819wt_1137&autorefresh=true

for this one i´d need more pictures to be 100% sure
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320556921798#ht_2909wt_1137


this one is authentic:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280529045717#ht_500wt_1154



. sorry :(. actually a lot of sellers just bluf. they just don´t care because they know 99 out of a 100 pleople will not see it anyway and if they get a negative feedback they just make a new account or deny whatever they are accused of.

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately I am a uk 8/US 4 so I think the one that is definitely real would be too big as a medium :(

This one I am hoping is real?!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110555369369

Thanks for the information. I didn't even think about fakes when I went to ebay to buy one now I am paranoid :yahoo:

I might be just as well as to pop in to Harrods and buy one there!

NB: Ebay is not tight enough on fakes there is so much on there it is ridiculous... I mean what does it take for them to throw somebody off there some are selling thousands of fakes!

hi, you´re very welcome :)

the one in the link you sent is authentic :yahoo:

i think ebay should do more too. it is funny because with hermes items they are very STRICT. even the good fakes get deleted if they see them. i think they probably hire experts for it.
but that is only because hermes sued ebay once already and ebay had to pay so that explains that. perhaps if herve leger will do the same the situation will improve for herve leger lovers on ebay too.
who knows
