Do you admit to buying off eBay to people?

Nope! If you do a search, although I cannot tolerate 2nd hand bags and do not own any, I will admit that before I seriously set my mind to buy ONLY from my LV boutique, I did buy from Ebay. However, after either being scammed or getting a fake, I decided that it's not worth the hassle of worrying whether or not it's authentic and how unsanitary 2nd hand items are. I don't mind buying other things off ebay, eg. calculators, printer cartridges, books....etc but these must all be completely brandnew

I agree with you, I don't feel safe on ebay but I looooove to watch the new stuff.
 
I do tell my friends and family that I got a certain LV bag ...and I usually get a response, "why pay hundreds of dollars on Ebay when you can get the real thing at the store?" and " I just cant trust things on Ebay." Obviously, they're comments do not bother that much cause I find myself back looking for great deals on Ebay, lol.
