O M G !

I can't count the number of fakes linda*s***stuff has listed and sold over the years. Many of her fakes were deemed as "authentic" by various companies, including Real Authentication and My Poupette.

But the following listing SHOCKED me and is particularly surprising considering that Linda is an attorney!

Here's the listing for a fake Coach:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Blac...=item2f285eae97:g:QD8AAOSwYwZcF95b:rk:20:pf:0

And the surprising part is that apparently, it was authenticated and deemed FAKE as indicated by the following screenshot in the listing:

And the difference between the above and a listing that was deemed as authentic by various authentication services she uses:

I thought you guys would be all over this one.


I hope you haven't reported the listing yet. Please DO NOT REPORT.

Just a warning to our posters and reporters - the link in the original post # 5700 seems to be an unmarked REDIRECT to a legitimate listing by a different seller. This is what comes up when you click on the link in the post, and none of these are fake:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-of-10-...SIL-TIGNANELLO-/283305720893?oid=123542832815

The only way to find the listing from post 5700 is to search for just the listing number, 123542832815
and then click on "Completed items". While the Completed Search shows the 3 satchels in the original post from seller " niftyplum "
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=123542832815&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Complete=1
Here's a screenshot:
niftyplum fake 12-22-2018.jpg

when I click on that link I end up right back to the "Lot of 10 Handbags..." that does NOT include any fake items AFAIK. The 3 satchels apparently include at least 2 fakes but from what I can see there's no way to report the listing with the fakes. Maybe it's a browser problem but more likely an Ebay glitch that we've seen before.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ASK POSTERS TO INCLUDE THE SELLER'S NAME OR ID IN THEIR POSTS HERE. It makes it easier to spot these unmarked redirects so that perfectly innocent sellers don't get reported for fakes they didn't even list.

ETA - While I was typing this, the link on the Completed page changed to the "We looked everywhere" page. So who knows what's actually going on?

For the record, I saw and reported the listing from Niftyplum and all three bags were fake, including the one with (what appeared to be) the properly centered pattern.

The listing has been removed. That's why you're having problems pulling up the listing.

In fact, I got lucky on this one. I still had a window open with the listing and can post pictures of the creeds:

seller ltc_988
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Stewa...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING ABOUT SELLER LTC_988:
Evidently the seller was contacted and informed that her Coach bag was fake. She ended the listing as evidenced by the previous listing above showing as ended early.

However, the seller AKA designerforless988 has relisted the fake bag, now clearly indicating that it's NOT an honest mistake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Stewa...039045?hash=item5429d46845:g:Ac0AAOSwoydWqmSl

In the following post from the "authenticate this Coach" subforum, there were posted several links where ltc_988 / designerforless988 had other fakes over the last several years:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...e-before-posting-889527-823.html#post29758827

And this is the most recent post about the seller:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...e-before-posting-889527-823.html#post29758807

DO NOT BUY FROM DESIGNERFORLESS988 LTC_988.

And in case the listing does get removed, here are a couple of pictures of her fake bag.

Seller ltc_988

I've pulled up an old post from one of the times this seller's fake Coach items have been reported.

The seller has thousands of listings, over 500 of which are Coach so it's virtually impossible to go through all.

But this listing needs to be reported. (Note that in her pictures, the first creed photo belongs to another bag in another listing but if you scroll further, you'll see the creed for this fake. Pictures attached also.)
