COACH Hall of Shame - Post Coach fakes here!

Persimmoncat, the sooner you can post those photos, the sooner we can help you try to get your money back.

As for your responsibility to other Ebay buyers, first concentrate on the seller's responsibility to YOU as the buyer. SHE'S the one breaking the law as well as Ebay's rules about selling fakes if the bag really does turn out to be fake. Her response will indicate how to handle it and how to deal with her if she refuses to do the right thing.
Hey, the listing was already down. Seller was very cooperative and I already returned it. I think I was jumping the gun. I really appreciate your attention. Now I get that I should request authentication before I buy something! I'm reading and learning a lot on here!

Oops, forgot the seller's name: kimlark

Yep, I noticed that one when I was composing my reply at the ATC thread about our ol' buddy " GutsyGirls" aka Gutsy Girls over at Etsy and PM among heaven only knows how many other venues. The front pocket is too narrow compared to the rest of the bag too. And there's no way to be sure but it alsmost looks like the serial number is in three sections instead of two. AND Station Bags don't have zippers on the inside pocket either.

Reported.

I think this is one of ebay's special snowflakes who can do no wrong. It seems that anyone with thousands of feedback gets a free pass to sell fakes.
 

Same fake serial number B0973-12988 that has been used in a lot of fakes but different style and different seller, please report:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-hand...362584?hash=item3aeafa1ad8:g:2qUAAOSwiQ9ZQ9sM

seller - jrb13bales5
Coach handbag,shoulder bag, tote BO973-12988 Great Shape

The number was listed in Part 2 of the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List (if anyone can still find it), including a Coach website photo of the genune style:

Here's what the fake B0973-12988 creed looks like:

Although the listing was ended, the seller has been discussed many times even coming to TPF to defend his honor.

Yet clearly, provintagegear still isn't verifying authenticity before listing items.

Here's another fake.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/499925...a_search_query=coach&ref=shop_items_search_85

IMO, it's not enough to end a listing when it's posted on TPF's Hall of Shame. The RIGHT and LEGAL thing to do is to NOT list items before making sure they're legit.

One has to wonder how many fakes the seller has sold.

Good grief! For a seller who (seems to) read here, he sure isn't always doing the right thing!

The "abbie zip crossbody" fake I posted above was previously posted (by me!) when I asked about the same POS in April, 2017.
