Mercari seller
Harrypotomus

From her profile: "I sell Vintage Purses of all brands and styles. They are all clean and ready to use with lots of choices. These all come from a smoke and pet free home. I am a disabled Veteran and treat my customers like I want to be treated. All my purses have been authenticated."

I wonder where they've been authenticated.

Well, since they don't mention any real authentication service in their listings, I suppose "I looked this purse over very carefully and it a a gorgeous vintage USA Coach." in the Willis listing is supposed to be the authentication. The serial number on the Willis is pretty close, but the strap is a problem and so is the top handle, and I'd sure like to see the back of that turnlock.

I actually saved some pictures of that SAME bag on September 10, 2020 when ebay seller 2010julesjules had it listed for sale on ebay. (@Hyacinth, CYE.)

Thanks for the confirmation. And since the seller never sent you a photo of the back of thurnlock when you asked more than a month ago, that pretty much confirms that they KNOW they're seeling fakes and don't give a shyte.

That seller and ALL of their multiple IDs should be avoided like the Plague.

The multiple IDs are ANOTHER red flag.

Great detective work, BB, as usual! :tup:

I'd meant to post the link to the September post which shows pictures from 2010julesjules 's listing:

And in case there's any doubt that 2010julesjules is the same person as Harrypotomus on Mercari or any of the other 3 IDs mentioned earlier, all from Oklahoma, this is these are the pictures from each listing.

As usual, Ebay is slow (if action happens at all) to remove listings of fakes from Japanese sellers.

So not only did they not yet remove the above fake, but dan_ginza has listed another!


And this is the previous fake still up:
 
And yet another fake from a Japanese seller (a repeat offender, no less) and ebay ignores the reports.

The Korean item is gone (temporarily at least) and I reported the fake Court Bag.
Here we go again with another fake from brandearauction. And with nearly 1100 Coach listings, I'm not going through to find more fakes though I don't doubt there are more.

And after having been removed just hours ago, the fake bag was relisted.
 
This seller is on multiple sites but it looks like (for the time being) she's avoiding listing fakes on ebay.

I'm not sure whether either Etsy or Mercari will act on reports but from what I've seen, Mercari is more apt to remove a listing when there are multiple reports.

Mercari:
