the price on this is so low compared to the store price ... can i trust this is authentic? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Authentic-Gen..._Watches_FineJewellery_CA&hash=item1c131648c4

i wouldnt want to buy a fake/replica as i feel its stealing from the pandora brand and just promoting people to rip us off with fakes ... i dont mind if it states its not authentic pandora but i hate it when people say its the real thing if its not. im sure most would agree . the price just seems to good to be true .... i dunno. please help!

i know this may be a silly question but does the ALE hallmark accompanied by the 925/585 hallmarks guarantee an authentic pandora bead? ... still a bit curious of ebay lol

Yes, for the most part the hallmarks guarantee authenticity, keeping in mind that the very first pandora beads were not stamped. Also always try to read feedback.

I've ordered from Collectabead /Heirloom_beads /goldjewls15 and charming888 thus far with no complaints....Good luck :)

WOOHOO! Sold a couple things on ebay - the money is supposed to go to pay my "early upgrade fee" for the iPhone 4 (cuz I was too impatient to wait a few months).

BUT, I made more than I needed for the overage (not more than the iPhone WITH overage... just the overage). So... although I SHOULD put it all to bills, TECHNICALLY there is some extra!

What's a girl to do? The right thing (keep the $ to pay CC's) or what I WANT to do (get another charm or two... and if so, WHICH ONES!?!??) ughhhhh

What a terrible addiction! yikes! lmfao

In regards to this seller Charming 888, they are definitely authentic Pandora. I purchased a gold clasp silver bracelet from this seller over 12 months ago and its been on my wrist in perfect condition ever since. The seller lists on ebay usa & ebay uk (but based in Australia) so its good because you don't have to pay in a foreign currency. I highly reccommend all her Pandora products as authentic.:smile1:

Just thought I'd let you know that I made my first purchase from Wisconsin Beads. Ebay seller. Her prices seem reasonable. I lucked out and got a gold clasp bracelet in my size!:yahoo: Beads loaded....looks good, but now I need more gold beads!

It is supposed to, but sadly, no. Counterfiters can stamp ALE on the charm easily. I wouldn't look to that as a guarantee. I've gotten most of my charms from ebay, and haven't had a problem. The fake silver charms are pretty obvious, and pandora doesn't have any gold plate, like the fake ones. Murano's are the most copied, so I avoid those on ebay completely. What I would do until you really know your charms, is find one in a catalog, or authorized jewelers website, then search for that one specifically on ebay. That way you can easily compare pictures. Look for a high feedback and lots of it. The forgers get shut down, and then just start again under a new name.

thank you for all of your advices ... in the end
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my fiancee got me the silver bracelet with gold clasp and the silver safety chain with gold hearts on from a jewellers in town today. We went in the jewellers to get the silver plain bracelet and no beads yet... but he (without me asking or hinting) purchased the gold clasp bracelet and safety chain with gold hearts!!! i LOVE it. the beads are stunning in person ... im so happy :)

warning : pandora is addictive im already searching for my next charm and circleing the ones i like in the mini catalogue the store gave me !!!!

i was wondering i only got one box. should i have gotten a box for the safety chain seperately? im not really bothered jw, i asked to wear the bracelet there and then so didn't really need a box anyway lol wooooooooo :)

Thanks Cowleyduck,

Yes, I got my charm from that seller and have come to the conclusion that is genuine and one of the first to be produced thats why it doesn't have the ALE hallmark.

Thanks everyone for helping!

:yes::yes::yes: this seller is definitely OK!

I have purchased 2 gold beads from her as a bit of a splurge to me and they were utterly perfect and authentic. Couldnt ask for more.

America and Australia seem to have such great offers and free gifts in the UK they have nothing! So jealous zh1va your bracelet is gorgeous! I'm trying to get more gold on my bracelet you're so lucky I wish I had a friend in Australia to ship me some over. I received my gold and ruby clip today so I might post a picture if I can find a camera x
