Well I just did a little search and just keyed in the name of the bag I purchased into google and found all the photos in the ebay listing. Some I found taken from a poshmark bag that was sold a while ago. I guess I have my answer. I did ask for more photos with today's date written on a card and photographed with the item. I took a look at the seller's other listing and two appear to be counterfeit but are photographed with receipts, sadly. I should have done all of that prior to hitting the but it now. I normally am not so quick with the purchase but it was a good price so I went ahead. Would accepting credit card payments and no paypal be a red flag for anyone. Sorry to go on a tangent.

I don't know what item or seller you're looking at but some of us (in another group) have found a ring of sellers with listings and characteristics you've described.

Do you mind PM'ing me the listing?

It might be a red flag, if the seller has unresolved issues with PayPal (banned, deficit balance unpaid) for example. I am slightly paranoid, so for me it would probably stop me from completing the transaction, at least until I'd done some research.

I just purchased an item "buy it now." I don't normally pay too much attention to the method of payment because it has always been via paypal. I went to pay and it is only letting me enter my credit card information. Has anyone else paid this way? It is a brand new seller, if that matters. I can't imagine an advantage to only accepting a credit card. Thank you very much.

OMG!! DO NOT PAY! And do NOT give your c.c. information!

I will gladly post what I found if you give permission. (I don't want to betray confidence but with the other Chanel and LV items and stolen pictures from a variety of sources, members should be warned against buying from this person.)

I wanted luv2run41's permission to post the information about the scamming seller from whom she purchased because if this post saves one person from being separated from their hard-earned money, the digging it took to find the info will be worth it.

Do not buy from lkrlechic1976_3!

1. This is the listing luv2run41 bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Louis-Vuitton-Soffi-/322217334511?hash=item4b05a656ef:g:O9YAAOSwhOdXpH~w&nma=true&si=HYccTfWv5OQJb%2BZqMZgbBqlf9VE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
And the pictures in that listing were all stolen:
*Stolen from: someone on tPF - scroll down - I can't find the post though.
http://wesharepics.info/imagesgkl-soffi-louis-vuitton.asp
*made in stamp stolen from here: http://luxurygaragesale.com/products/cream-and-blue-coated-canvas-checkered-damier-azur-soffi-bag
*Pic 5 stolen from: https://poshmark.com/listing/Louis-Vuitton-Soffi-Damier-Azur-56b627474e95a3931c003ad3
*first picture stolen from TPF -- you can see that she cropped the granite counter: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/come-and-see-my-new-soffi-instant-reveal.810100/page-5

2. She has this Chanel listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322217391376?&rmvSB=true
Pictures stolen from this UK seller. (Notice how the eBay scammer cropped the telling background?)
https://www.pinterest.com/naughtipidgin/
3. Another listing for LV:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322217288697?&rmvSB=true
The LV was stolen from Vestiaire:
http://www.vestiairecollective.com/...houlder-strap-bag-louis-vuitton-2368422.shtml

4. Hers:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Louis-Vuitton-NEVERFULL-MM-12-6-x11-4-x6-7-Totes-Beige-/322217268684?hash=item4b05a555cc:g:7wgAAOSwimdXpGo6
Stolen from:
https://www.tradesy.com/bags/louis-...ote-receipt-with-lv-folder-gorgeous-17142340/

5. She sold this one earlier today (after luv2run41 bought her bag):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Louis-Vuitton-Favorite-MM-Azur-Damier-/322216924259?hash=item4b05a01463:g:Ru4AAOSwARZXpBNG&nma=true&si=HYccTfWv5OQJb%2BZqMZgbBqlf9VE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Pictures stolen from: (The ebay seller certainly isn't the buyer since the PM seller sold for $750 and the ebay scammer sold for $600 - a loss)
https://poshmark.com/listing/Louis-Vuitton-favorite-MM-Azur-brand-new-54dfe83aea3f36746b0113e2

6. Her listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Louis-Vuitton-Zippy-Wallet-Monogram-/322216849090?hash=item4b059eeec2:g:2dwAAOSwaB5Xo99l&nma=true&si=HYccTfWv5OQJb%2BZqMZgbBqlf9VE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I started receiving very odd messages from the seller this morning. I sent in a cancel request and she starting mentioning lawyers etc?? I am starting to think someone else on TPF has encountered the same seller under another ID. I think I remember reading about a similar situation??

Either she's reading here or someone contacted her because this listing was ended early too.

The seller is at it again. Ebay took down a few of her listings and she just put them back up. She has posted this LV Galliera which is fake. She takes pics of date code (fake) and adds her name to photos. Here is the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Louis-Vuitt...310050?hash=item4b05c47be2:g:GS0AAOSw3xJXpN2e

She also put the damier neverfull back up after it had been removed by ebay:

If you find the source of the images, you can let the rightful owners know because only they can report that type of infringement.

Ignore her messages. WTF is a lawyer going to do? Sue you for questioning an ebay listing?

BTW, this is funny! In the following listing, did you happen to notice this statement?
"All our bags are purchased from vendors we found through our membership with Wholesale Designer Handbags."

Someone bought an item and paid for first class shipping but wants me to do priority shipping and is willing to pay for the shipping.

How do I collect the difference so I can ship priority?

If they already paid, I don't think there is a way to do it within ebay. You would have to refund her and then send her an invoice with the correct shipping amount added.

Haha. It's only one state over and it should get there by Friday. Idk. If she doesn't reply should I just ship first class?
Click to expand...
I use first class when items are 1 lb or less and never had a problem. (THe few problems I've had were with priority mail.) You do print first class labels, right? So you'll have tracking.

Keep in mind that if you refund and she repays, the refund will cost you 30 cents. (PP charges that amount for full refunds.)

I'd tell the buyer that priority mail won't be any faster and it'll save her money.
