Guys, I need some help please. I'm not used to dealing with hostility this way. I purchased a bag on etsy today then realized that it may be counterfeit. I contacted the seller for a clearer image of the creed and they refunded my money with no contact. I didn't realize that they had cancelled the sale. The bag then popped up on Ebay with a different seller name and images. I ALWAYS contact sellers of counterfeits before reporting them. It usually ends well with a thankful person. This person has really gone off the deep end for some reason and I'm not really sure how to handle this.

Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1011432332
Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vinta...r-/291399062124?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

She's continuing to message me now with harassing messages.

Here's the latest:
Dear sacsmagnifiques1941,

Please re asses your need to play Coach God and determine what is and is not authentic. You are a bully and will be reported for your intimidation tactics. Please stop harassing and threatening my business because you can't get what you want. I will take this all the way if you want...your choice or back off.

I have in NO way threatened her or harassed her. My only contact with her before this started was 1) asking for a clearer image of the creed and 2) letting her know that the bag was counterfeit.

I will only contact sellers that I know care about selling fakes. Otherwise I'll just report them and let ebay take care of it. I received a few nasty messages like you did, which is why I stopped warning sellers. Apparently if you aren't interested in buying from the seller, you shouldn't be contacting them. You can be reported for harassing.

I see she put your message and her response in her listing. She's really stupid! How many buyers will read that and still want to bid?

If she contacted you using either company's messaging service, report her.

And the bag IS counterfeit - S has never been a valid month code. See the Salearea Coach Guide on Serial Numbers, 7th paragraph:

For future reference - avoid this seller

I've posted the seller's photo of the fake creed and serial. Below that is a GENUINE creed from the B plant in 1995. The proportions of the Coach logo, the "No" font, and the font used in the creed are also wrong, along with the "puffy" creed which is never seen in pre-2000 US-made bags.

I've reported the bag to Ebay and Esty, so if she accuses you of reporting her, point her to this post. She can call me as many names as she likes - since she claims to live by the seashore she can go pound sand if she doesn't like me.

Trust me. ..I won't be doing it again! I just always assume that a person is innocent in listing these. Not this one apparently. She must have removed her listing.

Thanks Hyacinth. Surely she had some personal issues to have reacted this way. Ironically, I never reported the listing. Not sure how I was shady and threatening her business.

No, she didn't remove it. If she had, you would still be able to see the listing. Ebay removed it. It is still on etsy. Is there a way to report it there?
