Harrypotomus (on Mercari) is also on ebay as both jerrahacke-0 and judur-30
Both those bags @houseof999 posted were removed from ebay within the last few days.

This Mercari listing is fake too. The creed in this listing is probably purposely blurred but it was clear on ebay!

I found this forum interesting. I bought that blue purse from Coach around 2000, still have the receipt, so for what you are calling fake, do you think maybe you might be wrong once in while. I just opened the Mercari site and by the way, that is not my ebay site, but I did get that person permission to list these purse for me. I took a BOX of Coach purse down to our local Coach store that has been there since the 1990's, same woman has worked there all her life and she authenticate for me, so if she is wrong, I guess there is nothing I can do about it, but I found it disturbing how much crap you can put out about another person and never know them. I have over 200000 feedback on ebay I have been selling since 1998 and did not want to put purses on with my other items. I was shocked when these were pulled off ebay, but when we called them, the rep told me to relist them, that I would not get suspended or anything, that they had a rash of people calling FAKES FAKEs that were not fakes.. I just thought me and my bunny would try this site but I see the purse patrol can't wait to screw someone over, shame on all of you. You know this might be a great site for learning more but you guys are vicious, I guess no one has ever made a mistake before heaven forbid

Several comments:
  • You definitely should check your records for your purchase(s) because all those bags posted above (4 of them) are very obvious fakes if one knows what to look for.
  • Employees at Coach stores are the LAST and least reliable places to go for authentications of Coach items. Not only are they not trained to authenticate but they are actually prohibited from authenticating by their company policy
Instead of attacking and accusing those who pointed out your fakes and instead of blaming those who may have reported, how about you file disputes against the seller from whom you purchased them.

In case you need advice, we can help those who are open to accepting and admitting they goofed. You're too late to file disputes through ebay but Paypal offers 180 day buyer protection.

Again, the 4 bags you posted on Mercari and the same ones on ebay are/were fake and if you can, get refunds!

ETA: Oh, and find a new "authenticator" instead of using a Coach employee.

The "blue purse" aka
Coach 9966 Blue Janice's Legacy Shoulder

is fake, regardless of where you seem to remember buying it and which totally unqualified and untrained Coach employee "authenticated" it, which is a blatant violation of Coach company policy BTW and just about as accurate as asking your Dominos pizza delivery guy to tell you if it's genuine. It wouldn't hurt to Google "coach serial number j8y" either. Ebay was correct in removing it and I hope they keep doing so if you ask the "real" Ebay ID owner who you say allowed you to list it under their ID to re-list. That seller could lose their selling privileges if it's listed and removed again. If the other fakes mentioned in the last few posts here were also your bags, you have a serious problem.

BTW, you might also want to look up the correct style name for style 9966.

She's selling fake bags.. how to report her? And she's filipino...

There's nothing we can do on this end unless she's selling on Ebay or some site that listens to reports.

If she just has a pop-up shop or stall in a market somewhere, there isn't much you can do except report her fakes to the local authorities. But I doubt very much if they'll do anything. Unfortunately, the P.I. are a major source of fakes worldwide and the authorities all the way to the top just close their eyes to the problem, which is why we NEVER recommend buying from sellers in the Philippines, whether from a website or a market stall or anywhere else.

HarrytheRabbit and all your other Ebay, Mercari, and heaven-knows-where-else IDs:

Please don't start with the "shame on you" nonsense, YOU'RE the one blithely buying fakes from shady sellers and then trying to dump them on unsuspecting buyers without any attempts at actually authenticating them. Playing the sympathy card here doesn't work. We have some very good detectives here and your trail is easy to follow, even with all the multiple IDs and ever-changing stories. How many times have you been advised to post the bags that Ebay removed at their Fashion forum to have experts look at them? And you never have - why not?

It's never your fault, is it? "no one has ever made a mistake before heaven forbid". ONE mistake, maybe. Multiple mistakes with no attempt whatsoever to correct them and then throwing the blame on the anonymous Bad Bad People who reported them - that's another situation entirely. If you REALLY wanted advice from us or anyone else, you could have found it easily, but apparently that's not what you're looking for. What exactly ARE you looking for?

Please take your Blame Game somewhere else. We've heard it before.

I reported her to Ebay. No word back yet.

My advice to @Harrytherabbit is to stop buying lot listings from the seller when those listings (purposely) don't show the pictures necessary for an educated buyer to verify authenticity. (And if you search the forum for that seller's ID from whom you purchased several lots, there's some history posted on TPF.)

We've seen it way more times than we can count. Some sellers whose listings are removed will put those fakes in "lots" in which they mix a few genuine bags with the fakes that are illegal to sell.

Here are just a few examples but there are MANY more.





Somewhere in the Coach subforum, there's a post about a listing in which a serial fake-seller sold a "lot" of about 20 bags in which at least 12 were fake. I didn't look for that one but maybe someone will know where it is.

Again, @Harrytherabbit , instead of blaming the messenger, go after the sellers who sold you all those fakes.

Referring to what BeenBurned said about sellers KNOWINGLY dumping fakes, sometimes a BUNCH of fakes, into lots of other bags, this is the situation she's talking about. And there's more involved than what's just mentioned in our posts here.
