If I were you I would post some pictures of your bag on one of these websites with free photos and ask for authentication here. If it is a fake bag write a post on ebay forum here and lovely ladies will try to help you get your money back. Seller has to understand that selling counterfeit bags is a crime. But it is difficult to judge without seeing your bag. Let's hope somehow it's real
I wonder if someone can help me with this tag.
I purchased this PT GSH in December and had it authenticated immediately.
However last week when the same seller had another bag deemed a fake on the authentication thread I felt I had to re-post my bag for a second opinion. After some discussion between two authenticators Conni suggested I should look for advice on other threads, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
Does this tag look right?
I've just read this entire thread and some others and I just can't work out what it is supposed to say! Or if this print is correct. I was told this bag was purchased in New York in 2011.
Would grately appreciate any help.

It's just insane. I did report it yesterday morning and today. Ebay decided not to take it down!
Crazy.
I'll report it too....I do think the seller needs to put DO NOT BUY THIS IS FAKE all over the listing, but she may end up getting more than she paid for it at this rate!It's just insane. I did report it yesterday morning and today. Ebay decided not to take it down!

Hi there, I miss half these replies because I am only notified by email in a very hit and miss manner......But Oh so frustrating .....EBAY drives me nuts. I have written, reported, spoken to customer support......They never take down fake bags any more. This was the basis of my complaint about my wasted money. I report loads of fakes, so that other people dont waste their hard earned money, but not one of them has ever been taken off the site. Why do they ask for our help then in keeping Ebay a 'safer place to trade?' I was particularly stupid - did buy it now outside Ebay because bidding had begun....and then utterly stupidly, made the payment as a Gift so that I wasnt protected by paypal either. The seller wont contact me and has blocked all commnication via Ebay. I am £350 down and will never use this bag because of the association - feeling stupid, cheated, etc., And yet the seller is merrily trading away on Ebay still!It's just insane. I did report it yesterday morning and today. Ebay decided not to take it down!

I wouldn't be surprised if it is her intention- get as much money back as she can. Some people...
Oh I dont believe it!! This is MY listing which is the only way I can reach this seller to warn people about looking out for her listings. Why would you want to take it down......its a perfect illustration of a fake bag for them to educate themselves....God knows why people are bidding on it! Well, yes I suppose because its a very decent leather bag isnt it? Ive already been offered £175!!!I'll report it too....I do think the seller needs to put DO NOT BUY THIS IS FAKE all over the listing, but she may end up getting more than she paid for it at this rate!
And no, I have no intention of selling it......I think its perfectly clear that its a fake isnt it? Seriously - I didnt dare use that word too many times in case it was taken down. I have replied to all bidders that I wont be letting it go....
How strange when handles have such perfect detail yet the printing is so indistinct?
It's my understanding that if someone buys your bag ( even if you won't let it go) you will be charged final fees ( so more money down the drain )
Maybe you can post it on ebay forum here? Ladies are very helpful and even it looks hopeless maybe they will be able to find solution to get your money back?
I thought that your intention is to check if ebay takes it down. I'm really confused by this situation. For me fake is fake no matter how good ( bad) it is.
Can I try to reply to both latest questions. I am totally livid and furious that this lady asked me to wait until the end of March, and at which time she would send me a return address and refund the £350. Still ever so trusting, I did exactly that. Only to find that I was totally blocked from all lines of communication with her. And I think that's when my gasket really blew! I didnt know there was an Ebay forum on here....many thanks I will explore it. But there is nothing I can do because of the calculated way I was asked to make payment. Neither covered by Ebay nor Paypal now so there is nothing they can do......
Yes - fake IS fake which is why I wont ever use this bag -- I intend giving it to my daughter. The ONLY reason for the post on Ebay is to expose this seller -- can people not understand that?? I am impotent to do any other since she has disabled all access to her, personally. You are correct about the final fees but I never thought for a moment, anyone would bid!! I think nine days is long enough and I will remove the listing before then with no fees to pay......As said previously, I messaged the first bidder and he still offered me £175! I declined this.
Almost as an aside, what I simply cant understand is that when they get the other details right (I have three Balenciagas) why on earth do they make such a silly mistake as the wrong font/shape of the year letter? My mistake was simply believing someone, when they said it was from Yoogis closest originally.......See, they even knew how to draw buyers in right from the start.
