Good afternoon all,
I am new to purse forum and urgently need your help. I have just bought what I believed to be a genuine Balenciaga bag from ebay and paid using cheque not my usual method of paypal, as the seller did not accept this type of payment.
The bag arrived Item number 320225752196 and is a fake although a good one. The giveaways that bag is fake are the zippers, trim of the bag, material, serial number not matching on the front and back of the bag and the bales - thank heavens for the bales.
I have opened a dispute with the seller but she claims it is genuine. As I paid by cheque - I am not automatically covered for buyer protection.
I have contacted the Balenciaga boutique in London and they refuse to get involved as they said 99 percent of items on this site are fake and I took a risk purchasing my bag from this site!!
On the ebay site there is a link to descriptions of what to look for in fake and genuine bag and this has confirmed that the bag is a fake. http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=luv2shop-hate2spend
However ebay needs proof from the manufacturers of the bag - is there another way that I can get this if Balenciaga will not cooperate?? Or what else can I do to get my money back from this seller??
many thanks for any advice and information that you can provide. I will also upload pics of the bag later
