I think I may have bought a fake! I purchased a 16-motif sweet Alhambra from eBay, which has been sent to their Authenticator. However, I’m so nervous about getting ripped off, so I have been poking around the internet, doing my own research. I came across an old listing on Fashionphile, which has a picture of the full authenticity card, and I noticed that the reference number listed there is the same as the reference number on the card of the one I bought!

What even is the reference number? 2 pieces would not have the same reference number, right?!

First pic from old Fashionphile listing. Second pic from the one I bought on eBay. Should I try to cancel the purchase based on this finding?

Hi!
We don't allow any authenticity questions or discussion outside our Authenticate This threads. We don't have one for VCA so we cannot allow this discussion.
Good luck!
