That really pisses me off. It's right there on the internet and they can't be caught or shut down? RIDICULOUS! UGH. This is beyond disgusting.

Thanks for sharing, glad you're getting your money back!
I got a Prada satchel once, and although it was identical in so many ways - like you - I just knew something wasn't right. And like you, I also had the same style, but in a different color. Some details were identical down the the number of stitches, but also, there were plenty of flaws. Comparing them side by side, you can see how CLOSE they are (which is scary!) but also, you can see how DIFFERENT they are. Fakes always cut corners, no matter how good they are. And yours looks like a really good fake, as was mine. Scary.

I can't read this thread anymore, it's really pissing me off. I cannot believe they are on there bragging about their fake bags and making fun of those that buy real ones. ICK!! I wonder how long until they try to sell their *lovely* fakes on ebay as real bags. This sh*t makes me sick.Chesire, I'm glad you discovered yours was a fake and got your money back. We all need to keep an eye on this seller. Thanks for posting great pics, hopefully this will prevent others from getting scammed. I think the GH bags are hard to authenticate, glad I don't like them anyway. Weird they still haven't nailed the bales. Once they get the bales and the font, we are in trouble. Hopefully it never happens. Incredible that no government agency
shuts these criminals down.

I would have started it there, but I wanted it to get some views first. 
I just looked at the "bubblegum day" NBF has on this site. I see other things that stand out- Because I have a Bubblegum Day to compare:
Their color is wrong- too light compared to the real thing.
The ring on the mirror is light gold, a different color than the hardware. And the zippers look too light gold as well. My hardware all matches in color- the zipper matches the side hardware which matches the rivets which match the studs and the ring on the mirror.
The stitching on the outside of the bag is white on the fake, on the real Bubblegum bag it matches in color to the leather.
The zipper fabric is also wrong. You know how on colored BBags the cotton zipper fabric is always a bright, loud version of the leather color? On the fake it's a very mellow and light pink. On my Bubblegum Day it's a crazy hot-pink-meets-salmon color.
The handle also seems to have "bends" in it on the fake. And the zippers on the fakes always look like they're a bit kinked.

I'm so sorry you had to live this dear, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. I've had my share of dealings with dishonest sellers on eBay but I was never passed a fake. Thank you so much for sharing this important information with us. Those comparison pics are awesome and will definitely help all of us in protecting ourselves in the future. I've been doing a lot of reporting of fakes on eBay over the past months and I too have noticed they are getting better and better, we need to be ever more vigilant. I've seen some back rivets that are almost perfect, some goes for bales, the other day I even saw a fake plate with a Y!! Some leathers are actually so close to the real thing it's scary, most especially when it comes to GHW. Thankfully a positive end is near for you and this will have just been a good learning experience instead of a nightmare. Much strength to you in the resolution of this issue. Take care.

We should copy every single picture they have for our reference. Anyone know how to copy pics from the web? It's really rare that a counterfeiter will post pictures of this quality on their site of the actual fake bag- usually it's a really small picture that you can't see any detail on.

Aw, thank you earth.keeper! I got my refund today; the seller was very nice when I told her the bag wasn't real and was very cooperative about the refund process. I'm just glad that it all worked out and I have a new Chanel to console myself with. 
By the way, it's nice to see you back on the boards!
