Hi everyone, looking to buy this bag from this seller.
Do you think this is authentic ?

I have now had an opportunity to check all the sellers feedback and she has a history of selling designer items, including MK bags (although not that many,) and other designer bags, with all positive feedback.

There isn't anything in the photos that are red flags for me. However, I would still request the photos I have asked for, so I can have a look at them.

I do like the fact that she is showing photos and lots of them, of the actual bag. I notice she also uses a stock photo, but that seems mainly to show how the bag looks when carried, which is always good to see.

Will await those photos, but nothing glaring at the moment.

Totally agree with Cinthiaz on this on, steer well clear, read the feedback and don't get burnt like it seems others have.

Always check the feedback out and pay heed to it as that is why buyers leave it, to warn others.

Look at sellers with a proven track record of selling designer goods, high feedback, not someone who sold one once.

DO NOT BUY from this seller! Check out the last 3 comments in her feedback for selling FAKES!

Also, there are not enough pics provided to determine authenticity. I would steer clear and look for another seller. Her bags appear to be some of the Super Fakes we have been encountering. They have the same packaging. While much of it looks good, she does not show enough pics to verify authenticity. That feedback alone would send my flying off of my computer! lol! Always, always, always, check an eBay sellers feedback

Thank you so much for your input! The feedback did scare me at first and I guess my suspicions were correct :-s

Not enough photos to determine authenticity. Need to see the made in country tag on the left seam of the lining. Also need to see heat stamp. With all the Super fakes being sold lately it is imperative we see those tags. The super fakes are so good now days, they fool many sellers and buyers into believing what they have is authentic. While there are no immediate red flags, the seller really should show those tags and I question a seller not showing them? I could never understand this? Why not let your buyers see what is needed to determine authenticity? Or are you hiding something? Maybe they just don't think it's important and if you are interested enough, you will email? I have no clue, but I personally hate asking for info that should already be provided. If this is the only deal you can find, then email her. Otherwise, I would just move on. My whole deal is, if you can't bother to show me it's authentic, I can't bother to buy it. But that's just me. Up to you, but we need to to see those tags or can not determine authenticity for you. Sorry.

Yes I had the opportunity to go through all the listings last night, and there is one that raised my red alert flag to full mast. it wasn't the one you were looking at, but definitely raised alarm bells and it confirms my suspicion that we were best to tell you to avoid the seller and look for someone else.:smile1:

At the moment you are right you don't have 25 posts, but you are close. So once you reach that, here are some guidelines for requesting authentications:-

This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

* Item:

* Listing number:

* Seller:

* Link:

* Comments:

If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):

* SERIAL NUMBER:

* Link (if available):

* Seller:

* Who took the pictures:

* History of the bag:

* Comments:

Please give us as much information as you can and then attach any pictures (all authentication must include pictures). All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we. Please provide photos taken with an actual camera. Cell phone pictures rarely provide good details.

From my point of view, also I would wish to see clearer pictures of the heat stamp (the leather badge by pockets on inside of bag, as that isn't focused enough or at the best angle to see it well. Also, close ups of the external hardware on handles showing the kors name and stitching on outside of bag. It is difficult to tell from the main photo of front of bag whether the thread is same colour as bag, or a lot paler, it could be the flash on your camera that is making it look a lot lighter.

Also, is that loose threads on some of your photos of the lining inside? Can you show where that is in more detail. Is this bag brand new, or secondhand?

Hello I bought this bag on my local craigslist, I don't know at all the model. What I can say is that it's glove leather, inside as a tiny plastic tag printed "made in China A - 08 07"
Inside is fully lined with black fabric with MK round logo, it does have the key holder and the pocket is stamped Michael Michael kors,
I'm a newbie in Michael kors so I don't really know which pictures you need to see, here is some, let me know if you need more informations. Please can you tell me if it is authentic and also if you now the name of the model I don't find it anywhere.. Many thanks
