Wow, I never thought of that. Such an elaborate scheme!And ebay only allows 30 days to file a dispute so if you were to buy it, you wouldn't even have protection once you receive the fake.

I'm speechless. Thank you for your insights. I never questioned about those sellers that are 'away'. You just reminded me to be more attentive to those details on eBay. Thank you!The Peanuts wallet BeenBurned mentioned in the post right above yours is a good example. There are things that are totally wrong with that item, and to make it worse the seller has specified an estimated delivery to the US of between August 16 and August 23. Apparently "The seller is away until Jul 20, 2021. Add this item to your watchlist to keep track of it." So why 2 months? Maybe because the fake is being drop-shipped from China or wherever they're making them this week? The seller only accepts Paypal and requires payment within 3 days, even though the item won't be shipped for two months. Yikes!

And it's "posted in accordance with shopgoodwill.com's policy prohibiting the sale of counterfeit items. If you have any questions or concerns about the authenticity of this item please contact seller directly prior to bidding."
I hate that I'd need to have an account in order to contact them!
That's great that Goodwill took down the listing.EDIT: they responded and said they took down the listing.
^^^ That report is from March, 2021 when Japanese seller boom2hanten listed one of many fake Coaches.
After listing and relisting the tan Korean fake multiple times after being removed, it is now listed by another Japanese seller. Pictures are the same.

After multiple attempts to get that ^^^ fake removed, it finally poofed this morning.
And it's no surprise (to me) that the seller has another. There are probably more but with thousands of listings, it's next to impossible to go through and find them all.

As I'd said earlier, if any of us "mere mortals" listed this many fakes, we'd be booted from ebay so quickly we wouldn't know what hit us!And another fake from minhmam ! (If any non-Japanese seller had this many different fakes, particularly over such a short time, we'd be suspended!)

OMG! There's another too!As I'd said earlier, if any of us "mere mortals" listed this many fakes, we'd be booted from ebay so quickly we wouldn't know what hit us!
But Japanese sellers seem to think they're invincible (or they just don't GAS).
This seller has yet another fake (that I caught). With so many listings, he probably has more mixed in but it's impossible to go through all.

Just to update, This has been removed by the seller, and willingly. It only took sending her a polite message. She has actually been a very careful seller and this bag would have maybe even fooled me (I own a sample of every type of Berkeley bag they ever made, and to have a fake get the year and the factory code correct, and the brass isn't marked "solid brass" etc. and the brass underplate isn't dented in. So, she has removed it. She truly strives VERY HARD to have all good authentic bags only. I wanted to set the record straight because other buyers read these posts and assume the worst and that's not really fair to those sellers caught in the crossfire of the bad blood that's happened in other authentication situations. I am Switzerland in this situation. I too am grateful for the authentication help that is available to me here. But I know this seller separate from any of the fb group drama and she is truly trying to do the right thingAnd yet another "POSH AMBASSADOR" who can't, or won't, tell real from fake. And is also a member of multiple private Facebook groups that even have their own in-house "authentication service" run by the sites' owner! And guess what?

she also has an IG account (with the same name) where she’s spewing false information about dating and authenticating Coach bags
