Hello! I started my bracelet in August this year, I'm hoping mine will be turn out pretty like the ones I've seen on this forum. I don't have many beads yet, but what I do have represents me or someone/something special

Can you get a pic of the other side of your hand/wrist? If not, does the bracelet lay in your hand at all, or does it stop before your thumb pad?

From what I've heard, these can't be worn on a regular bracelet. Anyone know if that's true?

The essence beads will only fit the essence bracelet. I'm excited to see it! :smile1:

I'm with you on the whole ebay thing - I just started with Pandora so I though that I'd save some money by shopping on ebay but out of 8 purchases only 3 were authentic. I hate that I had to keep dealing with ebay resolution center but all the sellers stopped responding once I called them out on their fakes. I am a pretty educated ebay seller/buyer and I do my research before I even consider working with any of these Pandora sellers - I did find a few reputable sellers who offer bargains( 20%-40% off). Mostly what I did notice is that if you are seeing the same charm being sold cheap from many different sellers chances are that the market is being flooded by fakes . Also if the same seller is selling all of their charms with a specific colored back round and then just keeps re-listing them over and over - that's a red flag. I saw the Lucky Clover Bead ending at $37.00-$79.00 so I figured that there is chance that fakes were being sold and now I checked completed listings and I see that its showing sales mostly in the $80 range so the fakes were removed but you get the idea - a bead trends at super low then its better to stay away.
I started working on making my bangle two tone and right now I am waiting for 5 two tone charms to come from three different sellers (long ebay history 10+ yrs and good feedback ~800 ) and I am hoping that they are all legit otherwise I am swearing ebay off completely.

Maybe we should start an ebay reputable Pandora sellers list?

I am not sure about ebay, may be Rue la la if you want discounted beads?

Thank u all regarding the new charms. Still quite excited but a lil disappointed the essence charms do not work w/ the previous snake bracelet, but will it work w/ the bangles? The bangles r a lil on the thin side.

Thanks, I'll check that one out for sure. When you go to your Pandora store to get a charm authenticated, what do you say? I never know what to say. Sometimes I'll say it was a gift and I was just wondering if it was real (doesn't make me sound very good though, does it? LOL)

Also, another thing about Ebay, why in their feedback profile, does it say "private" next to all the feedback? It should see "see item" but says private instead, and even on some listings I've seen where there is nothing where it should have the link to see what was bought. Kind of strange I guess.

I say the same thing most of the time "its a gift can you tell me if its authentic?" but when I see the manager I usually tell her how it is - she doesn't make commission and I feel gets less offended when asked to authenticate as its part of her job.


As far as Private vs View Item there is a simple article on about.com -
The How and Why of Private eBay Listings- here is a link http://ebay.about.com/od/privacyandsafety/a/The-How-And-Why-Of-Private-Ebay-Listings.htm


I think with Pandora listings it lends the seller a fraud warning b/c the majority of sellers that are selling legit items have them without the privacy setting. While the ones with the private listing sell an obscene quantity of the same charm, which makes me question where can they possibly get 200 or more of the same charm.
