COACH Hall of Shame - Post Coach fakes here!

I agree. Not only is she a seller of fakes, but she knowingly and deliberately cheated a gullible buyer by selling her 6 or 7 fake Coaches mixed into a large lot of less expensive wallets and bags, and then refused to give the buyer a refund when the bags proved to be fake, and THEN threatened the buyer with legal action and filed a police report! And she's still doing the same thing, selling fake mixed with real. What she did was ten times worse than listing a bag she didn't know was fake because she hadn't authenticated it - she apparently deliberately set aside all the Coaches she thought were fake and dumped them on a rookie Ebayer who didn't know any better and spent almost three hundred dollars for a purse lot that was one-fourth fake Coaches. That's not an honest mistake, that's a scam. There's NO way that all her other single Coach listings at the time were for apparently genuine bags while all those Coach fakes ACCIDENTLY ended up in the same lot of 28 purses and wallets.


I'm not saying we should hound her - that's not why we're here. But if she keeps selling fakes and we spot them, they'll be mentioned here or at the Hall Of Shame just like any other chronic fakes seller's listing would be.
Thank you! I AGREE COMPLETELY! :D!
 
This is the same seller of fakes who used botticelli4grace (now NARU) on ebay, absolutelybetterpursedeals (now NARU) on ebay and the same or similar IDs on other sites.

PLEASE REPORT: On Tradesy, she has the same fake that was her undoing on ebay which resulted in her suspension.
Tradesy ID: betterluster and her store, Absolutely Better Purse Deals :
https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-vintage-purse-messenger-bag-brown-11787868/?tref=closet

(Note that yesterday, her Tradesy ID was Botticelli4grace's Sold Items on Tradesy
but it's been changed to BETTERLUSTER.

Beware. The seller mixes authentic and fakes and makes no effort to learn how to identify fakes nor to authenticate her items.

Did you see her "About the Seller" blurb? "...Carrying a FAKE depreciates all our saving and hard work for the purse of our dreams!"

Yes, I did see botticelli4grace aka betterluster 's hypocritical statement.

And BTW, I think I forgot to post the listing with the fake bag!

https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-vintage-purse-messenger-bag-brown-11787868/?tref=closet

ETA: WTH! The listing is still posted in Absolutely Better Purse Deals 's closet but it's not working when you click!
This woman has absolutely no conscience and doesn't give up.

1. Ebay botticelli4grace - NARU'ed
2. Ebay absolutelybetterpursedeals - NARU'ed
3. Tradesy ID was Botticelli4grace but after TPF posts and NARU, it was changed to https://www.tradesy.com/closet/betterluster/sold/
Absolutely Better Purse Deals
@Betterluster
4. Threadflip (now defunct) but she was on there too: http://www.threadflip.com/botticelli4grace

It's been discovered that the seller has now opened booths on both Bonanza and Etsy. (Neither was open prior to being suspended from ebay for the second time on the second ID.)

Bonanza - Purses2ndTimeAround - http://www.bonanza.com/booths/Purses2ndTimeAround
Etsy - PursesTimeAfterTime - https://www.etsy.com/shop/PursesTimeAfterTime?ref=l2-shopheader-name

The following Bonzna and Etsy accounts are new.

NEW FAKE LISTINGS - For those who report, the following are the same items that were reported and removed from ebay and led to her suspension
:

Bonanza:

And for those who might consider reporting to Bonz and Etsy, I've compiled a list of just a few of the posts where Botticelli4grace aka Absolutelybetterpursedeals aka BetterLuster aka Purses2ndTimeAround aka PursesTimeAfterTime
fakes were discussed. Note that this list is NOT complete because there have been so many!

One more down. I just checked Bonanza and it looks like she's been suspended since her ID doesn't work.

Hmmm. I wonder where her next stop will be.:graucho: Listia? iOffer? She'd fit in nicely in either of those venues.

How do you search for Sellers or Booths by name on Bonz,?? your link isn't working for me.
I saw ETSY, ..I'm really furious, I actually wasted time chatting w/ her and bought 2 bags-(authentic but I feel so dirty & scammed) Granny's name(BJ) is not the same name listed as the ETSY store owner- what total BS UGH!:pout::bagslap::lecture::noggin::smash::pullhair::pokey::pullhair:

The link on Bonz isn't working because she's been banned.

If you know a seller's ID there, you can search by looking up bonanza.com/booths/_fill in blank with seller's ID

I didn't have an ID to look up. I did a search for "Coach" by newly listed and recognized her pictures.


BTW, this is just my humble opinion, but sellers like this (botticelli4grace and her multiple IDs, debbieb208 aka gutsy girls, etc.) are more despicable than sellers who wouldn't know an authentic item if it bit them. Sellers who mix take advantage of the trust they've "earned" by ripping off buyers with fakes and the buyers don't know any better.

AMEN!!! But me thinks you are preachin to the choir OR :btdh:
They know exact-attackly what they are doing BECAUSE they are Scheming Scammers & Lying Liars :pokey:. Makes me sick....
Thanks for the Bonanza info, I spent waaaay too long trying to figure out HOW to find a Booth-DUH!
 
Wow, elady01 has a good reputation for selling authentic LV but clearly, she doesn't know squat about Coach.

Korean fake.

Please report! These are up to $22.25! They are fake, fake, fake!!!
I am reporting non-stop & it makes no difference.It never makes a DENT. The ONLY way to get ebay to WAKE UP is to CALL them on the phone. Cite the abuse, Tell them they need to start checking reports & TPF Hall O Shame & READ some of the History of the Liars & Scammers that run rampant. Armed with all this evidence they will take action-for a day or two, maybe a whole week. Then they will return to their normal state of complacency - hanging out & drinking martinis all afternoon??
Hey, I want a NON- YOB at ebay! :supacool:
This is what it feels like to keep reporting & get ZERO RESPONSES.
