Hi Ladies,
Has anyone ever dealt with BellaBag.com? I think I'm starting to have some SERIOUS paranoia. I'm probably over-reacting since nothing has happened but after a little bit of research on them, I'm sketched out. Here's the story.
I recently just sold my chanel bag on ebay. The seller seems to be someone from BellaBag.com because in their seller information they list name, shipping address in GA, phone number, and they also included a link to bellabag.com which I find out to be some reseller.
They paid, I shipped, everything is fine. But then I got curious to see if they would sell my bag and for how much. Sure enough I see it on their website for almost double what they bought my bag for.
My bag I sold on ebay here: x
Same bag they relisted on their website here: http://bellabag.com/designers/chanel/chanel-grey-lambskin-medium-double-flap-bag.html
Capitalism, sure, bravo to them for making a profit on my bag if they can. I started looking around the site because I saw other nice bags that I like. Since I've never heard from them before I wanted to do some research to make sure they are legit before I buy from their site. They just bought my purse which I know is authentic and they are selling it so surely they do sell some authentic stuff but regardless I started googling.
Here's what I found....
On their website they list that they are a BBB accredited business in Florida. The BBB website lists the business website as shopbellabag.com, which if you click on.. redirects you to bellabag.com. This business is a BBB Accredited Business since 01/14/2011. GREAT!

Now... the bag that I sold was shipped to a GA address.. which I found on Yelp as a brick and mortar store...
http://www.yelp.com/biz/bella-bag-atlanta-2
This store also lists their website as... bellabag.com..
So its safe to assume that this brick and mortar store and bellabag.com is the same business.
Further searching on BBB gives me this additional BellaBags business... in GA. The link on this BellaBag business is bellabags.com. UH OH

RED FLAGS!!!!!
1. The reviews on the Yelp store are HORRIBLE. They reference the same owner listed on bellabag.com
2. The second BBB listing for the business in GA is rated F.... for multiple customer complaints. Their online link is bellabags.com which redirects to bellabag.com.....
2 BBB listings for the same business, one accredited and one not.
I'm super worried now that issues will arise from them.. but maybe I'm over reacting. Maybe nothing will come up from them but just throwing caution out there... I'm not sure how I feel about BellaBag anymore....
