Comments:
I think this may be a counterfeit bag. The leather is not soft and luxurious like I have heard it should be. The chain is not super heavy. There is a double layer on the top flat part of the leather of the shoulder chain. It has stitching on the top of the leather. It doesn’t have seamless, perfect stitching. The hardware depending on the lighting seems orangish in color. It does not have where it is made in the inside of the bag. Does not have a date code in interior or anyplace where it looks like it wore off. Numbers on authenticity card are not straight and at an angle. Please share your thoughts. Worried I purchased a super fake. Do you think it is authentic? Thank you so much for your time!

Comments: Did initial checks and seems legit, but since she sells for less than she paid it made me pause. She said she is downsizing her collection, she does seek to have a lot based on her listings. She did agree to my request of more photos and sent me more up close shots though so I don’t know. Thanks!

Would like to see a sharper up close picture of the sticker (example below).
So far I see nothing of concern, and bag is likely OK, but I recommend these newest series classic flaps to be sent in for physical inspection.

That's not how you do a login shot (pls see this post for future reference).
This bag is unfortunately not authentic, and depending on when your bf bought this off Ebay, he can open a case with either Ebay, or Paypal for a refund.
 
please check mine pls so if it’s fake I can return soon

I need a link to the listing, and if unavailable, a login shot.
For pictures:
Large, forward facing, in focus, up close and glare free pictures of the:
- back plate
- both snap buttons
- zipper pull
- sticker (see example below)
If it came with a card, dust bag, or box, I'd like to see pictures of that, too.

Thank you, do you recommend a certain place for physical authentication? Problem is there are no returns after 3 days on Poshmark :sad:
Can you request a better picture from the seller? Or take one yourself if you decide to buy it.
If proven fake, Posh will likely give you a refund.
If you buy through Posh, they will do an in house inspection (their own authentication) first before sending it to you. Since I've seen Posh make many mistakes throughout the years, it's recommended to use your own authentication service.
For physical inspection you can use Etinceler.com.
There are other services, you can do a search here on the forum.

ok, yes I can request that she takes another photo closer up, she has been very accommodating. I will do that now and post here once I have it. Thanks for your quick reply!
