Hi there, thank you for your comments. I can fully understand the thought that i was trying deliberately to deceive. I wasn't. I am a bit slow up top! I don't yet know how to use this sight properly and what i thought i was doing is providing PF with close up photos of the name so that it could be scrutinised properly. I now see that this was the wrong way to do it and i apologise. As you have no doubt noticed that i did this for all the suspect bags i am selling. What i need is a tutorial for using this site, how to upload photos etc...Thank you anyway for looking at these bags and i hope that my ignorance has not tainted my membership of this great site. Kind regards, Sue

I think the bottom line is that, accordidng to eBay guidelines, you cannot list anything for which you guarantee authenticity. You can post here as you had, but if the verdict comes back counterfeit, you cannot list it in any format on eBay. You can't list it as unbranded, etc.

I'd recommend that you get things authenticated here before you list. Note that some of the forums here have guidelines as to how to post for authentication...you need a photo of this, that, and everything else, else you won't get an answer. You might get a snarky response to follow the guidelines in post #1. I can't really blame them...they get overwhelmed with items to authenticate and need all that stuff. Dawn and I run a lose ship here as kate spade fakes are pretty easy to spot. Not so with Dior and other premium designers.

Are Burnham F&C still around? They were my favourite!

hi!

I just joined the forum today and just want to ask for your assistance in checking this item if it's fake or not. I tried searching on the official site of Kate Spade but there's no similar items listed there so I wanna make sure first. Thank you very much in advance..

I had to do some jiggling as the link you provided didn't work, but I looked up item number 120955979419 on ebay.ph and the bag you mention displayed.

The seller didn't list many photos and they are all stock photos taken from elsewhere. The usual problem with have with items sold in the Philippines is that they may not be first quality. Yes, the photo is of a kate spade Melinda bag, but that's all I can say. On bags shipped to America, the handles are never wrapped in plastic; they are hand wrapped in paper. That may be another sign it's not first quality. But the seller has excellent feedback, so you may be OK.The seller does not take returns.

Unfortunately, that's all I can tell you.

seller said it is made in china..

I appreciate you taking time to help me look into this. I'm a first timer here and it feels good to get a reply from someone who knows a lot more than I do when it comes to bags. =)
