I made sure that I would still be able to sell if I wanted and that RM is never faked. . Checked my account and Told me that would not be a problem. Definit considered PM but I guess no place is free from problems.

TRR accepted My NWT bag. When I looked it said the commission was a paltry 30%!! guess I will have to contact them. I thought it was always 40%
Wow your share is only 30% on TRR? So if a bag sells for $60, you only get $18, that’s not a lot at all. I think PM takes “only” 20% so I guess that is better than TRR but you’d have to deal with buyers and potential returns/scams.

Think that’s correct. I believe someone on here said they revised their payout formula recently. looks Like TRR will be my last resort from now on.

I had a picture of the nameplate and assume she saw it. Maybe it wasn’t big enough to show the MINKOFF in darker lettering since that is now how Authenticity is determined. Haha

I have one more batch of bags to get rid of. Now I’m afraid eBay will assume all my bags are fake and won’t let me sell
No I don't think that will happen. Look at all of the RMs on eBay with different linings.
You could try Poshmark, they take 20% but at least you don't need to pay shipping, I found it to be pretty stress free.

I sold on PM and with RMs I don't think you'd have to deal with scams. The scams are mostly for the expensive LVs etc.
 
I found some marks on my SW sage mattie. IDK what they are. I don't think they were there when I got the bag. Maybe water stains from hands or sitting a counter. So I tried Leather CPR and it made them worse. Eventually with a lot of buffing they're not terrible. Probably no one else would notice them from a couple of feet away. But it makes me kinda sad. After the failure with Leather CPR I tired Apple conditioner. Didn't work to take the marks off. Guess I'll have to live with them rather than making things worse. Drying overnight didn't really change it.

I saw something where Rebecca said these bags are supposed to get darker and oilier with age. I don't really see that. I don't recall whether I sprayed the bag when I first got it but I'd be afraid to do that now.

Any suggestions?

Give it a week and see how it looks.
I sprayed my sage with apple guard rain protectant and it was fine. I tested it on the bottom first.

thanks for responding
I'll leave it alone for now. No one except me would notice the marks.
Maybe in a week I'll test the bottom with some repellant. I don't have Apple Garde right now but have another brand.
I guess that sage SW leather is more delicate than I realized. I wouldn't call it a light color but light enough to show marks.

Maybe try posh.

Did you compare it to the Nikki I sold you? It just doesn't make economic sense to fake an RM. Especially GOOD fakes with supple soft leather!
 
I probably will try somewhere else. probably PM. I may need you guys to help with that since I have only bought and not sold there

here’s my update. buyer wanted me to pay return shipping. I contacted ebay rep and told my story. They are going to put a note on buyer’s account that she misused their return policy by claiming it’s not authentic when in fact it is. She is a brand new buyer who only signed up the same day she bought the bag.

don’t mind taking the return buy paying return postage was a bit much!
So ebay actually made it right? Unbelievable...

I strongly suggest selling on posh. ebay is just pure nonsensical evil. They threatened to permanently ban me from selling on ebay because I was trying to sell an authentic (according to Authenticate4U and fashionphile) Balenciaga Day on ebay. Ebay's reasoning: I wasn't a luxury seller; therefore, I had no business selling Bals. eBay was ready to permanently ban me from selling on their platform because I had the gall to try and sell a "luxury" item. Pure nonsensical evil! Okay, mini-rant over.
