Here's an update. The bag is 100% authentic, confirmed by Hermes Madison since they accepted it for a cleaning. Here is a picture of it - it was a great price.

I wondered the same thing. My guess is that they are the same company but would love to hear from others.
Just a comment on the seller. It's always been suggested that even for "trusted" sellers, sellers with long histories of selling authentic items, sellers from countries where fakes aren't common, etc., any listing should be authenticated.
The seller, brand_jfa did have a confirmed fake Coach listed and removed last week as posted in the Coach Hall of Shame.

Hi Marina... thanks for sharing your experience and sorry to hear you have been screwed over...
are you able to share what was the final outcome on the dispute?? hopefully it was a good ending for you...
i got the same question too!! As I wanna buy a vintage chanel bags so I'm going throught ebay listings these days.. and I found out not only one but two (so far) the bags they listed actually are the same!!
prices are slightly different but they both got the exact same serial number!!
for example:
1)brand_jfa $748
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auth-CHANEL...978?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cdacffab2
2)jfatokyo $798
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141165750406?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
this makes me doubt that if they are fake or they are the same companies...
anyone can gimme some advice?
i tried to message jfatikyo to ask if they two companies are related
waiting for the reply!
Just to update you guys, i got the reply from jfatokyo
"Hello.
Thank you for the mail.
I'm sorry, I do not know because of the different departments.
Thank you very much.Sincerely."
So that means they are two different stores right??
but why their bags are exactly the same?!
Actually, these are not the actual serial numbers on Chanel bags but their own shops' serial numbers/chop.
maybe i chose a bad example,
please have a look of the following links..
1. jfatokyo $718 serial number 1679221
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141119358419?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
2. brand_jfa $698 serial number 1679221
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231067406710?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
those serial numbers are stated on the authenticity card ...thats why im confused
why two unrelated store selling the same bag on eBay?
are these bags authentic? but the serial number should be unique!
They look like the same bag to me with similar photos. Even similar marks/mis-shapen bag. This is odd indeed. Did you put this in the authenticity Chanel thread in tpf? I am guessing the bag is not with either of the seller but maybe at the auction house or owner. They are just listing & if someone wants the bag, then they will buy from the auction house/owner??

Hi! Just bought a vintage Monceau from this seller for a very good price and in more than decent conditions...But with the bags in my hand,now I have serious doubts about its authenticity 
I didn't ask for authentication here on the forum prior to buying because other TPFs reported good buying experiences with him but I guess things have changed...
I sent him a PM asking for a refund, hope to get my money back...
Here are some pics of the bag I bought:

You owe this seller an apology.
Based on these photos and assuming this is the bag you received, your bag is authentic.
I bought a vintage LV speedy epi from brand jfa and it was authenticated here. Great price, good condition, and super fast shipping! I bought a Prada from them recently and that was authenticated here as well. Still waiting for that one to come in the mail 
Overall I've had great experiences with brand jfa, but like others have said, I would never purchase before getting the item authenticated.

Hi!This is a great news! I was totally misleaded by the missing Made in France line under the LV writing inside the bag... Why do other Monceau come with these 2 lines one above the other instead?? Thanks! Ill be more than happy to apologise to the seller btw
