sorry to hear about what u have been suffering from!

As for the scam, I happened to know some details about how it works or at least some partial facts.
My friend has ordered from a scammer on Pm and she told me that the package was shipped and delivered somewhere near her address but she can't find it. So finnally Pm refunded her and considered the order got lost. Since the tracking shows that item was successfully delivered, the buyer will possibly get their money.
Fake tracking scams are common. How it works is that they ship something (piece of junk) to an address in the same zip code and when tracking shows delivery, the buyer (usually) loses the case.

It takes time, research and helpful postal employees who are willing to go the extra mile to check GPS tracking to see the actual delivery location. Then the buyer can go to ebay (or whichever site) with the USPS evidence to dispute the loss of the INR case.

The ebay discussion boards have many threads about fake tracking scams and scammers.

Thanks for the explanation! That makes sense, one time my Poshmark buyer couldn’t track down the package I sent but then Poshmark sent me an email saying they considered it “lost” & released my funds. In my case it was because the buyer never put her unit number with her address.
 
Hi,
I was not sure which thread I should post this but I recently purchased a classic pouch. To my surprise, the leather on this bag is not cut properly. The shape of the flap and pockets are not straight or nicely curved. Have you ever come across a bag like this? Looking at the creed stamp, it appears authentic. But I'm confused as to how this bag passed the inspection?

Have you all come across a bag that is this off?! Stitching, leather, piping, all those areas are great so I'm a bit confused.
I initially thought it 'appears' deformed due to angle, but now having it in front of me, I can say that this bag IS deformed.

I love the color so I'm going to laugh it off and keep it. Is this Bordeaux?

1. flap is not symmetrical. pls pay attention to the right side of the flap edge in pic. not evenly curved.

2. internal pocket edge is 'curved'... so bad that it almost appears to be intentionally cut that way!

Must have been made and inspected on a Monday or day after a big drunken party. Lol! That is really off. Pretty color but I couldn’t use it because of this issue. Nice it found a good home!

@Paris Girl 's conclusion of a Friday or Monday bag is possibly correct.

Coach DOES make mistakes, sometimes caught and sometimes not.

Here are a few mistakes I have in my records showing mistakes on AUTHENTIC bags.

Now you are giving me second thoughts about keeping vs. letting go... my hoarder's instinct is leaning towards keeping but it may be true that I should not be holding on to it! :sad: I don't know whether I have the grounds to return it though..

oh, wow. How could creed stamps possibly have mistakes?? Upside down logo hardware is understandable.
 
eBay. The pictures were clear of these odd shapes and I just went ahead and purchased thinking I can correct it with the rehab. So not sure I have a basis. It is the same bag I received.

Does the seller have a return policy listed separate from the EBay money back guarantee? Maybe you can message the seller & ask if they’d accept a return but deduct the postage so they don’t lose any money out of pocket. If you’re unhappy with it that is.
