Hi everyone, I really need you guys opinion.
I recently purchased a LV Monogram Zippy wallet from Ebay. Seller was extremely kind, very commutative, wrapped the wallet wonderfully with a ribbon and sent a thank you note.
When I opened the wallet, I was pretty sure something was off...
I compared the dust bag and box to the LV bags and boxes in my own collection, and everything was off from the font, color of font, material type, color, etc.
So I thought ok maybe she just bought a fake dust bag and box because it seems buyers really want those things when they buy preloved, not that it matters much to me...
Then I compared the main zipper pull against my zipper pull on my Trevi and the weight, font, shape, and material was all of.
The datecode seemed like it was in the wrong location according to others I found on this forum and online. It said that the wallet was made the fourth week of 2013 in France and the sellers receipt said she purchased it Jan 28 2013, so I felt that was a bit odd as well, that she was able to purchase it the same week as it was being made in France. Her receipt was even off compared to all of mine, the font was different from all of my receipts.
But I wanted to go to the LV store to make absolute sure....I was really trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.
I took it to the LV store and compared it to another wallet of the same kind and it was obvious to me and the LV assoc that it was not authentic, it was even made differently at the ends and corners...could not get it heat stamped was their way of saying it was not their product.
I emailed the seller to send her the wallet back for a refund and while she said she was shocked and didn't carry fakes, that she would agree to the refund once I returned the wallet.
I made a claim with PP, sent the wallet back, received an email confirming the refund and during this entire process, she's been really nice and commutative.
She asked me to accept the cancellation request, which PP said not to until the money is back in my account.
My question is, should I leave her feedback stating the issues of the transaction or not? She was very nice and did everything in a timely manner, but I'm sure it was fake and I don't feel too good about if she tries to relist and sale to someone else as an authentic item.
Please let me know what you guys think...sorry for the long post.
TIA
