I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post, but it didn't seem appropriate for the ebay sellers thread since I don't have questions about a particular seller.
I was looking at a gold Trim 35 and I asked the seller some questions: where she purchased the bag, questions about the lining and pockets, what year she purchased it. Everything checked out. I believe this is an authentic H bag.
However ... she does not want to use Paypal and is insisting on a money order or cashier's check. She told me she had a bad experience purchasing a Birkin via Paypal that turned out to be fake. She asked Paypal to intervene and investigate and they refused to even answer her e-mails. So she does not want to give them any business.
Second potential problem is that she does not have the dust bag. I understand that people lose them and that even bags on big-time resellers' sites often have certain peripherals missing. She claims she never received the dust bag -- that she ordered the bag from the FSH store in Paris and then received it a few months later and there never was a dust bag. (She did photograph the bag with the box, though.)
What do you think? Does any of this sound fishy to you? DH seems to think these are deal breakers, but I'm not so sure. She answered all my questions about the particulars of the bag, and I'm very certain it's authentic as well as in excellent condition.
