Nasty fake Bbag... Do I have any options??

[lcpetkova]

So I've been a member of PF for one day too little... the day before I joined I found a really nice looking Balenciaga on Yahoo Auctions, with a BIN at $200 - I didn't know much about the bags, and just thought it was a good deal - some girl that got it as a gift and didn't like it.

Long story short I bought it, received it, and it is really awful. The auction did not state they do not take returns, or otherwise. Can I make her take it back in any way? I paid with paypal, but I'm used to Ebay not Yahoo... Do I have to live with it since I didn't ask questions before? I don't think she 'misrepresented' just exagerated it's quality... I've emailed her 3 times in 5 days, and no response... 200 bucks is still a lot of money to throw away Since then I bought one from a REAL store, and I LOVE it
Any advice?

Since you paid with paypal I would get in touch with them - call them if it is still within their timeline (I think 45 days - but check their website for that). otherwise I am not sure what you can do to be honest. They should be able to help you, as I don't know whether all the same procedures apply for yahoo as for ebay.

good luck, sorry for your fuss.

Goo luck & yes, $200 too much for fake~you'd get 100% authentic small leather good of accesories of LV with that money

If you paid with a credit card, call them and tell them you received a counterfeit. They will be able to help you out. I expect you'll get your money back.

Thanks so much guys, I love tPF!!! All I had to do was threaten her with contacting paypal, and she's going to take it back! I'm already planning ways to spend the $200!! lvgodiva had some excellent ideas...
