Good job, cdtracing! I hope your fingers are recovering. Wonder how long it will take to get that garbage removed? And hopefully have the seller either banned or restricted.

I finally got through them. Those were ghastly! Don't know how long it will take but I reported the seller to MK, gave them the link to their listings, & reported Ebay for allowing the repeated multiple fake bag listings to be sold by same seller. I don't know why Ebay doesn't take them down. Some have sold since this morning. Whoever bought them has been robbed.
Authenticator Justice League - I love it!! Your work is so appreciated [emoji173]️
One of our posters just spotted a new ID for the same seller, also located in BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI. Her name might be Helen Munn according to our poster.
New ID is HELEMUN_0 -

So far she's only listed about a dozen "Coaches" but that could change at any time.
Looks like she opened this ID as a backup on June 1st of this year, these are the first listings or transactions.

Yep. But all the others under "SUTHRNATMOSPHERE" are still active. So 12 down, at least 150 assorted fakes to go. Plus she has a store at Mercari too, just one fake Coach ATM, and no MKs that I noticed. But that will change if Ebay gets off their dead arses and starts pulling listings. BeenBurned even found an old account at iOffer, which would be the perfect place to dump a bunch of fakes, assuming she actually has any in her possession instead of them being drop-shipped from China.

I not only reported this seller to MK Corp but I also reported Ebay for allowing this seller to continue to list & sell counterfeit bags after the bags have been reported. I also referenced in my correspondence that the seller was not only selling fake MK but also fake Coach bags & that it was pure fraud. Hopefully, MK's attorney's for their counterfeit division will move quickly. Some of the MK bags I reported yesterday sold to some poor consumer & the seller relisted more today. I have reported these as well.
I contacted Coach's Counterfeits section and did essentially the same thing. They probably won't do anything (they haven't in the past) but since this involves current style fakes and fakes obviously being drop-shipped from China they have a vested interest in doing something about it even if it's just reporting her to the FBI and Homeland Security so they can track and find the shipments coming into the country. I also mentioned the 100-plus fake MK items so Coach knows they're not dealing with some small-time seller who's buying a few fakes on Canal Street to flog on Ebay. These fakes are being illegally imported in bulk, and I think that's what the Feds are most concerned about. There are major security concerns about this kind of clandestine importing.
ETA - there was a really good Nat Geo special back in 2008 called "Illicit" that took a look at the problem, from handbags to medications, and why governments like the US are so concerned. There's a 5-minute preview on YouTube but you have to pay or have a season pass to watch the whole thing. For anyone who doesn't believe inexpensive bags are faked, there are a few quick glimpses of fake LeSportsacs in the clip:

ATM it looks like EVERYTHING has been removed, including her tacky jewelry. No NARU yet though. She might just be suspended for a week, or a month if we're really lucky.
And BeenBurned found even more possible previous selling accounts at other sites, and a FB page for "Jeanette Munn" with a link to her Ebay store:

How lovely.
Looks like she's been at it a long time. Ebay should NARU her but they probably won't. Thanks for the update.How lovely.
And thanks for all the help reporting that pile of horse-poop! Wonder where she'll turn up next?

I'm glad she's off for now. I hope Ebay keeps her off for a while.
Please help me authenticate this bag? Thank you in advance.
