I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm so frustrated right now. I was looking through eBay at some bal bags and came upon this listing which is using MY pic from Instagram as their main photo. [emoji35]ImageUploadedByPurseForum1438305787.606749.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1438305801.438726.jpg

You could also message the seller and tell them you've reported them.

You have to report that to ebay.

I reported it to eBay and I messaged the seller. The seller responded and said I shouldn't have reported it bc they found the image on Google. Wth?!?! I just replied saying that they should be using images of the actual item they're selling and not images they find from anywhere else. We'll see if they take it down.

You did well contacting the seller. She is right that she might have found it on Google but that is no excuse as sellers take their own pictures they don't copy them. Let's she what she is going to do. She should take down this picture and put pictures of her own. But that is what many of them do, that is why when we sell on FB groups we always put a paper with our names on the items. However, once I found my picture on Google which was taken from here and it was me holding my Balenciaga Coq bag.

Of course they should use their own pics!...just as a FYI, if you google something specific (ie Alexander Wang Rocco) and look at the results, you'll see a thread that says "images for Alexander Wang Rocco" with a bunch of photos. I don't know who does it or how, but you can find pics of items being sold on various sites, eBay included. If you click on the photo you have the option of hitting the "visit page" button which will take you directly to whatever site has the bag, whether purse forum, eBay, or department store. Could be where she found your photo...?

That is correct. Probably she found the picture from there. This is my guess.

Hello everyone! New to purseforum here :)

I will be heading to Paris and Italy at the end of the month and am interested in getting my first Bal city (hehe so excited) in blanc creme. Will the colour still be available in the boutiques there since it is a colour from the 2015 s/s collection?

Thought I'd share a Bbag story. So a dear friend of mine (a LV girl) left for a trip to EU a last week and was debating on what bag to bring. Since I used my Velo on my trip to EU earlier this year and it was perfect, I let her borrow it. Only a couple days into her trip she did some shopping got herself a Town! Another Bbag convert!

Hi everyone. I've been searching for Balenciaga from certain years in colors that I like but can't find so far. Then I saw 1 in Poshmark n tried to buy but it says Poshmark is not available for my country. Does anyone has similar problem but managed to buy from Poshmark so far? I'd like to know the how to! TIA [emoji8]
