Thank you for your replies!

Its quite a feat to bank wire $$ to these sellers and then hope & pray they are trustworthy!

Is there any other options in which we are protected? Does Paypal protect us from fraud and non-delivery? Most of the times, as the transaction is a big amount, bank wire is used ? I want to buy a b35 Black GHW but am afraid due to the big amount!

Please advise a best option? I would really like to purchase from Sophie, and like what lady786 mentioned, she's really nice!

Please take PayPal questions to the Ebay/shopping forum - the ladies there are great and can give very good answers.

I had bought 2 bags from bradedluxus (Yvonne) and payment by wire transfer, was worried but she is a honest seller and she follow up the tracking with me through out. Which makes me feel secure. Great seller in Malleries.

Great seller from Swiss, Yvonne is her name. Did 2 transactions and went on smoothly with her. Was worried as payment by wire, but she went through the whole process with me by tracking the items and ensure I receive it. Communication by email was prompt except when she was sleeping (haha).

Hello! I wanted to post that I had a very positive transaction with Mimiaction (ebay) for the purchase of an Hermes Birkin. It was authenticiated here first. I was nervous to purchase from overseas (Taiwan) and how the process would work but shipping was very fast (shipped on 1/30 arrived to me in US on 2/4 - tracking info was prompty provided). Also, I did not have to pay any import/duty fees and the Birkin was in very, very good condition (even better than I expected)!

Hoping maybe my experience can help someone else and a BIG thanks to tPF members for all the information shared and the hard work/opinions of the authenticators to help us "newbies" purchased much longed for items! It's much appreciated! :smile1:

I have noticed that Mimiaction has very attractive prices, but I assumed that there would be import/duty fees. There is probably a thread about this somewhere, but I don't have a clue when import fees are charged and how much they are. PinkGeranium--do you know why you were not charged?

This is really outside the scope of the thread. Could you please check in the EBay subforum on this? Thanks.

Hello. No, I am not sure why nothing was charged. Some sort of customs form was attached and filled out but there were no monetary amounts on it that I could read. Also, when I was tracking the package there was an area for custom to show if it was "dutiable or non-dutiable" but it was not filled in on the tracking screen. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Also, customs had inspected and re-taped the box. Still, I don't know why nothing was charged. It was the first time I've ever bought from overseas.

Beware this seller and this Etoupe 30 Birkin.
Seller: miyakeboo
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150746748832&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

The seller has tried to sell it under 2 previous usernames (HPsaucy2012 and 2011-pippa) and had created this name for the third attempt. I know all this as I bought it subject to authentication and paid the fabulous bababebi to authenticate it. After receiving the damning report from Bababebi I informed the seller and she immediately cancelled the sale.
Ebay fraud were advised of all usernames and item numbers but when someone keeps creating new user accounts I am not sure what they can do.

Beware: The fake 30 Birkin is back under a new seller ID. The seller changed her 2011-pippa ID to isaakkeane and is trying to sell the bag again.

I dont think it is right to post things like this and not explain what happened: it is really not fair to the seller or potential buyers. making a negative and vague statement with no supporting facts is dangerous: we dont know if its because the seller wouldnt negotiate to her liking; if it had to so with the condition of a bag; maybe it took a long time to arrive or god forbid there was an authenticity issue. i personally think the original post should be removed unless the poster is going to explain her comments.

As the saying goes, your mileage may vary with a particular seller. There are some mentioned with whom I would never again do business and others rave about them, because they had a fantastic experience and I did not.

The purpose of this thread is for comments regarding transactions with sellers. I don't know the details of this transaction and this thread isn't the place for a private grievance to become public. However, there is nothing in this post that warrants removal. All audreylita said is that she did not have a positive experience and won't be dealing with the seller again. That's basically what most of the comments in this thread are like.

I understand what your are saying but i still think its irresponsible to make a comment with no explanation whatsoever. I dont recall any comments that were overtly negative about any seller with absolutely no facts to back it up. I have done business with that seller and now it concerns me to do so again (and probably other potential buyers) even though I dont know anything.....
