So I just got the black selma stud I was looking for...and I'm super disappointed. The girl says she only wore it once, but I think that can't be true. I'm pretty sure it's authentic and the bag itself is in pretty good conditions, but I paid for a basically new bag and got something completely different. The gold is peeling off the studs, they're half gold half silver and some are scratched, the clasp is really scratched and so is the zip. Here are some pics...what should I do? :sad: Can one wear do that amount of damage? It also reeks of perfume and something else, it's awful and I can't get the smell off my hands. I feel really stupid as well...why would she sell it at such a low price after one use? She told me she wasn't a handbag person and I believed her...she also told me she'd spilt bronzer inside it and that was why there might be a tiny stain on the inside, but I was fine with that!! But all these scratches and the gold coming off are just really unacceptable, to me this looks like a bag that's had at least a few months use, if not a year. Either that, or she's somehow destroyed it in one night of partying.
Also, the bottom is really wonky and won't straighten...you can see that in one of the pics...
Have any of you dealt with a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know the silver doesn't really show in the stud pictures but I can't get better ones...

I was unable to wait so I wrote to her...she said she won't accept returns. She said she was fair, she sent me loads of pictures, answered questions as to how she had it and bla bla bla. But she described the bag as immaculate and this simply isn't, it has scratches all over the place on the studs and various clasps and zips. What bugs me most is the gold coming off the studs. She also says it's only been worn once, as she stated in the listing.
How on earth did she scratch it like that after ONE wear?? That's never happened to me before!
Anyway, don't really know what to do now, since she won't accept returns. Should I try to resell it (obviously as used, I'm not a dishonest liar as she is) or maybe open a dispute with Ebay? :(

Sorry about the condition of your bag - did the girl say she bought it brand new, or she used it once after buying it second hand from someone else?

I took it out again (I was so upset I just put it straight back in the packaging) and the smell is so awful!! It smells like smoke and weed and loads of perfume and just feels preloved overall! I don't think it would be able to soak in that much smell in one day...
Not that it's bad to sell a preloved bag but I didn't think I was paying for one :(
 
Ladies, this thread is for authentications only. Too much chatter clutter the thread & requests for evaluations can get missed. Please start a new thread asking for advice about the condition. There is an Ebay subforum in the shopping forum. You can also start a thread there for advice. If you are not asking for an authentication of this bag & only seek advice, I would open an Ebay claim for SNAD if the seller did not disclose everything wrong with the bag.

You're right, I'll start a new thread! Sorry, I'm still relatively new and was unsure of where to post.
The bag is authentic though isn't it? I added the clearer pictures which were missing from her initial post. I'm hoping I don't have to discuss that too...

If this is the same bag I authenticated for you earlier, yes, it's authentic.
