Just received my first Chanel from brand_jfa and i'm thrilled - and before he shipped on a friday, he noticed one minor defect not mentioned in the listing and offered to give me a $20 credit or cancel the order. I took the credit and the purse arrived in Chicago on MONDAY. And i agree that he overstates the flaws of the bag, at least mine is pristine and it was stated as being an AB, meaning clearly used.
 
I really like it that he displays very clear pictures of the bag, and shows every single detail. I never bought from him, but liked many of his bags, and he seems to be a very good seller and conscious.
 
Bumping this thread up to ask if anyone has returned to brand_jfa before? I dont usually ship internationally so I want to be sure I do everything properly.

I did. I ship it back via USPS Priority Express ( new name for Express Mail) Mark as RETURN mercandise, and I insured it. I printed label on line with Click and Ship, easier and cheaper.
 
Hi all,

I just bought a LV Estrela MM from this seller and he included all necessary pictures for authenticating except for the picture of the date code. I had the bag authenticated by the experts at the authenticate this lv thread and lee answered with "need date code pic" and submarine answered with "looks good - pending pic of date code."

I contacted the seller for a pic of the date code and he said "Hello. Thank you for the mail.
It don't have the date code in the listing." I know there is no date code in the listing hence I sent him a message for one! So I replied asking if he could send me a pic of the date code and no reply since.

I guess my question is should I just pay for the bag and take the picture of the date code myself once the bag arrives?

Do you think there's any chance my bag would be the ONE fake bag of all the authentic bags he sold? Please let me know your opinions.

Hi. I'm in Japan, but not connected in any way with this seller. Right now, there is a major religious observance in Japan. Nearly all workplaces are on skeleton staff during these few days, because everyone goes back to their hometowns. That's probably why you have not heard back.

I did buy Birkin from this seller after reading most of replies in July. STAY AWAY!!!! I guess people who are happy with this seller got a correct item. I bought Togo Birkin 2005 and got Couchevel which was discontinue in 2000/2001. He responded on every single email from me with the same answer "Sorry for inconvenience", nothing else. Finally, I send it back as express and it is lost in custom. So far, I am out of a lot of money and eBay is not help.
I started checking his listings and saw so many bags listed in corrected. HAC was listed as Birkin 35, Kelly totally wrong leather and many more mistakes. I did contact seller and ask him to check other listings. Nothing was changed.
Fanny part (not so fanny for me), my bag is still listed (????)there as Epsom. Why do I say my bag? Because, it is the same pictures, the same ID#.
Now, I am trying to see if I can get money back from cc I did buy with or my homeowner insurance.
Any recommendations are highly appreciated!!!

I don't understand how that can happen to you ? Everyone had such good experiences with this seller :(

Do you think I should just trust the seller base on his feedbacks and so many people had good experience with this seller? I am ready to pay for the bag now but I'm so nervous since he did not provide me a picture of the date code --- according to lee and submarine from the LV forum everything looks good and just pending the date code pic. I want to just pay for the bag and take the pictures myself to authenticate when I get the bag. Is it worth the risk? Do you really get the exact bag that are in the pictures in the listing?

As I said before, they may got a correct item. I received totally different bag I paid for. Also, after I start paying attention to his listing, I saw many Hermes item was listed incorrectly. Just check yourself. Also, few of his bags was on authentication forum in Hermes and by authenticators it was authentic bag, but leather was listed incorrectly. For example, HAC 32 was listed as Birkin 35, after I contacted him few times, he finally changed to Birkin 30. HAC and Birkin 30 are different bags!

After my experience, I would avoid and stay far away as possible. This seller did not reply to you, but he is replying everyday to my open SNAD with eBay. So, I guess he is ignoring your emails.
 
To be fair, this Japanese seller seems to be selling authentic goods but perhaps have little knowledge about the leathers of hermes bags so the incorrect listings.

Still if lee said the bag is pending a date code & he is not replying with a photo of the date code, I wouldn't buy from him. Many others may have positive experiences with him but you should judge how he deals with you personally IMHO.
