I had the same issues 2 years ago I received everything include receipt, box, dust bag, everything and the bag was fake🤬🤬🤬🤬 I figure out the next day so she never respond so sad 😞
So sorry this happened to you, what a bummer! Thank you for posting this, it was the impetus to get my most recent purchase authenticated. It's my first time buying pre-loved, and I'm a little anxious as I wait. Love your channel about bags and also finance, thank you for the rec and code.
lol.. I dont understand the drama.. it must be a nice bag if you thought it was an authentic.. Just keep it. I believe it came to your home for a reason only God knows.
“It’s been sitting in the temple of the bags with its counterfeitedness” ... “contaminating all the beauties with its fakeness” 😭 You were not being dramatic at all. That’s super devastating. I hope eBay or PayPal could be able to do something for you. Keep us posted
I accidentally bought a fake LV bag! I was tricked so hard because I paid a lot and it looked so legit, I chose to donate it to a secondhand store, because even though it was fake, I thought it may make someone less fortunate happy. I learned my lesson the hard way. I now only buy in store or from a store online then get them authenticated!
It happened to me, and if you used PayPal, you’ll get your money back. You open a claim and send the certificate and it takes some time but they’ll get you your refund. Keep the bag until you get your refund in case they need more documentation or photos.
Hi, i just got scammed and stumbled across this video. Do I submit the counterfeit documents to PayPal or the seller? Please help. I had bought a Chanel bag so you know it costed me a lot of money 😢
You can still contact eBay and report it , if you paid through PayPal I would contact them also and report it , even though the seller is gone , they should still be able to see the transaction and the fact that the listing is removed they may just help you , I think it’s worth a shot , especially because you have proof it’s not authentic . Say unusual circumstances and due to the pandemic you were not able to have it authenticated right away . I would give it a shot girl ! I’m so sorry this happened to you .
Omg, I‘m so sorry this happened to you. I recently had an instance where I sold a Chanel bag that I had bought on Vestiaire (and had it authenticated via Real Authentication right after it had arrived). The bag had a minor imperfection which my buyer was aware of. So when she brought it into her local Chanel boutique to have it sent to France for repair. And the Chanel SA told her he was pretty sure it was a fake🤯 I was so shocked and I can only imagine how humiliating the situation must have been for my lovely buyer. So I got in contact with Vestiaire, we sent the bag back to Vestiaire for another in-depth check and it again came back authentic. So she went back to the Chanel boutique to another SA and she sent it to Chanel France and they did the repair no questions asked. So at the end of the day, it all turned out alright but this whole situation made me so scared of buying expensive items preloved...
There are so many stories out there that make it more and more scary to buy preloved! I’m glad yours worked out well in the end, but it all makes me so much more cautious, there’s so much money involved 💕
I’ve been scammed also. Didn’t know I could file a dispute it, time had expired. Never again. Make sure there’s absolutely nothing you can do before you set a match to the piece of trash.
Sorry for your experienced. I have bought two years a LV handbag at the Real Real website. After couple of months using the bag one of the hardware broke and took it to LV boutique for repair. After 3weeks I received a call saying that they can not fix the bag and they clearly stated to me the reason. It’s non authentic! I immediately contacted the Real Real and and ship back the bag to them and I’m glad I got my money back. Lesson learned, since then no matter how expensive that bag that I liked I never, never buy from pre loved. Authenticator also failed.
Thank you for sharing this! It really can happen from anywhere, we have to be so careful. I’m glad you got your money back, but scary it passed through the authentications 💕
Oh my Goood, that happened to me! One of my givenchy bag, and when it came, the package was appalling, it was dirty, and then radio silence from the seller!! I got 85% of the money back tho!! But I was furious...
I’m selling a Dior Lady in Grey, medium size on eBay. I sold on eBay many years ago but I don’t know my account info so I just had to create a whole new account. Thus, I have no seller history with this new account, of course. I sure hope someone buys the bag even without my selling history. The bag is in perfect condition and it’s authentic, I swear! 😄
This may make it more difficult, it might be worth getting an authentication certificate to sell with it just to give added reassurance, or consider one of the IG ( reputable) consigners, some the commission isn’t that much more 💕
Hi, if you still have that bag, try putting through a case with EBay. Did the listing state authentic, did the receipt state it was from a Gucci Store and provide authentication email. It doesn’t matter if it says not returnable. I sold a vintage Chanel Tote (stated not returnable in listing). I also had listed on Mercari and they authenticated it. Buyer was looking for brand new look. Note: it was listed as vintage. She wore the bag for weeks (could smell cologne) and kept gift I sent with purchase. EBay always sides with buyer; she returned bag before we could hash out difference and EBay hit my account and paid buyer.
That’s an awful experience, especially when you stated vintage and you know she wore it. I think if I hadn’t left it so long, eBay would def have dealt with it as everything stated it was supposed to be authenticate 💕
That’s an awful experience, especially when you listed it as vintage and you know she wore it. I’m pretty confident eBay would have sided with me if I hadn’t left it so long, everything stated it was supposed to be authentic 💕
Sorry this happened but girl I would be feeling the same as you if it happened to me. My hubby always says "stopping trusting everyone, just because you would never do it doesn't mean others won't"!! Great Video!!
Omg!!! That’s terrible, ppl are unbelievable 😡😡, it’s such a shame, if your getting rid of it, I can buy from you to use the material of it as diy to create something for my daughter. It will no longer be a fake bag, I’ll be reborn.
@@ameliarosescloset I was thinking of cutting up the fabric into shapes and sawing them into a denim jacket. Glue the gg into the heart shape into the sides too. You can do that for yourself!! The chain can be used to create a belt, they’re very trendy. You can have your unique master piece
I just found your channel and I am so sorry this happened to you. I have major fear of buying from resale sites and this really confirms my concern. I love your honesty and appreciate you for sharing this with us. Sending 💖 from California.
I don’t let my mom carry her fake Chanel bag when I’m with her for many reasons, mostly because of my conscious, slightly because of snobbery. I would just throw that bag away.
This happened to me years ago with ebay to. From that day I get things authenticated and NEVER buy luxury off of eBay. I found out my bag was fake when I wasn’t using it and sold it. That person got it authenticated and that is when I found out it was fakeZ she accused me of selling fakes and I literally was a victim too. It was too late for me to do anything. I returned the buyers money and destroyed the bag. Never again. Only real resellers and get everything authenticated. It’s worth the piece of mind!
If I had sold this on, it would have genuinely been with no idea I was selling a fake. It can happen to any of us and some of these fakes are scarily good. I won’t buy luxury from eBay again and I will stick to me advice of getting authenticated. Thank you for sharing that I’m not the only one! 💕
I never pay attention to reviews because I see people going crazy over fake bags all the time on UA-cam and I think to myself if they don’t know what the real one looks and feel like why would I take their opinion I buy my bags at the store so later on down if there’s a problem I bring it right back. Last year I had a YSL card holder I purchased from Nordstrom that just seemed defective and this was purchased from 2018 so I brought it to the store in 2022 they inspected it and said it’s real but it’s definitely defective since I’ve used it maybe five times because when you own a lot you don’t use them as much and they took it back. I’m over buying luxury bags now because they’re getting out of control with the prices.
Ohhhh NO 😱😱😱😱😱 That is not OK!!!!! If something is NOT Authentic, a seller shouldn't sell as Authentic!!!!! I buy from Ebay & I sell on Ebay. I do Authentic items I purchase pre loved, even though I know By checking it myself its Authentic, just for peace of mind. I use them as well. However if you do purchase an item that turns out to be not Authentic, you can 100% get your $$$ back with NO problems!!
*Oh, no! 😭😭😭 I’m sorry, hun! 🙏🏼 I had 6 Gucci Marmont flap handbags all purchased directly from Gucci (4 leather + 2 velvet: red & turquiose) out of impulse, but later sold 5 of them and kept just 1 (white leather). I love them, but slowly realized that I prefer Chanel & LV more 😜 Hope the person who sold you that fake bag will get his/her reward, soon. I believe in KARMA!*
I don’t buy pre-loved! So many super fakes out there. I wonder how many people have paid thousands for a good counterfeit, thinking they are carrying the real thing. I’ve been scammed twice. After that, no more pre-loved!!!
This has happened to me not once but twice 🥲don’t beat yourself up too much..I’ve made my peace with it and am so very careful now!! It’s violating and I hate what happened but definitely have learned from it! TFS ☺️💕
I got scammed twice, way back 2015.. I kept the bags as a reminder of my stupidity and not listening with my own gut.. and as a reminder that when money involved to be careful where to put my trust into.. such a great video! Thank you for sharing! Such an inspiration ♥️💕💕💕
I’m sorry this happened to you. Many people have mentioned donating the bag, but there’s always the danger of it ending up back in the marketplace by someone who assumes it is authentic. It is, however, gorgeous on it’s own. I don’t know why counterfeiters don’t just leave the branding off and sell as an “inspired by” ?
Thank you, I would be worried about donating it as it’s still a counterfeit and I don’t want to be involved in Passing that on, as you say, it could even get sold back into the market. They just care about the money :(
I'm not sure if you've done anything with the bag and I'm not done watching the video but you can sell it but to someone who knows it's fake and is ok with that. regardless of its inauthenticity, it's still a beautiful bag. I'm sure someone won't mind that it's fake and take it off your hands. If that was a bag that I wanted I wouldn't mind having a fake one since I can't afford real ones.
Thank you! I did gift it to someone in the full knowledge it was a fake, I have updated this video to let everyone know what happened with the money etc 💕
I can’t believe this! I am so sorry to hear this happened to you. I have told myself I can’t be scammed - but after watching your video - I realize this could happen to anyone. Could you please do a follow up video to let us know what was the dead giveaway? What was fake? What did the authenticator say? It would be good to let us know. Thanks for sharing!!
It can be very painful when this happens. The same thing happened to me. I only got to know that the bag was fake when I shared it online and someone who worked in Dior previously dropped a comment saying it was fake. I had it authenticated and it turned out she was right. I bought it 18 months before knowing it was fake so I couldn't return it. I can no longer use it as I don't wear fakes either. I am just not comfortable doing that. I shared it on my channel too
Really sorry this happened to you 😩 (and to everyone telling her to sell or donate the bag, counterfeits are illegal! If someone found out SHE moved along a counterfeit bag, that’s her reputation on the line. If you are fine with owning or using a counterfeit that’s up to you, but please don’t suggest our lovely youtuber try to pass along a fake.)
I got scam recently by an app call ssense they sold m a Gucci bag tht cost m 880 dollars and when it arrive it was fake I send it back but still haven’t get my money I fear I may not get it is sad tht apps can do tht to people sell fake and to make it worst not give u ur own money after they scam u
I've been through this! My credit card company stepped in marvelously. Scared the skin off of that snake. Had the seller charged me 1 penny more I could have taken them to claims court. They had the nerve to demand I ship it back. I told them I would not ship counterfeit products. The audacity! Cut it up and put it in the trash.
Ah I cant believe it. I am so so sorry that happened to you! Before purchasing my Givenchy antigona in mid November ( which was stolen in December) i had been searching on the preloved market for a year but was too scared to buy just in case. Mind you I probably wouldnt have been upset if I had taken what happened after in December. So sorry again. Its a lesson for all of us, thanks for sharing 💖
Your honesty and the need for you to warn everyone is so kind of you. Thank you so much. How much money did you pay for the Gucci bag? Please could you do a video on reliable sites to buy and sell and where and how to get items authenticated. Thank you. X
@@ameliarosescloset Oh no! That's a lot of money. Karma will definitely come back to that person who scammed you and you will receive more blessings from God when you least expect it. X
I have this bag which I purchased from Gucci. It’s the colour Rubin. The genuine item is so vibrant. When I saw this initially on your channel, I knew instantly it was fake, the colour is dull and the bag looks matted. I’m sorry you had this bad experience 🤭
Omg, so sorry to hear that. That is so terrible. Honestly . I am so afraid to buy from untrust website or individual. Thank you so much for sharing darling.❤️
What a major bummer! I’d try what some others have suggested about double checking the authentication. If indeed fake, I’d open a case with PayPal trying to recoup some if not all your money on this garbage. Your story is exactly why I am too scared to buy a bag from EBay. I’ve purchased many from FASHIONPHILE and Rebag, but don’t know if those are available to you. Gotta a good chuckle from your rant about the fake bag being in the “temple”. Lol. I have been crushing on that shade of purple in a Gucci bag since I first saw it. But of course in a real Gucci. Good luck on getting this resolved.
I'm too chicken to buy from eBay or individual sellers. I'd rather pay more to get it from Fashionphile / Rebag / TRR just so I know they'll be there if there's any issues. Although I've never heard of any customers challenging their authenticity... does anyone have experience?
I own the Fanny pack and that’s it I knew the same way it came in is the same way it would go out. My boyfriend at the time they hit stores bought me one and I returned it and got some other stuff
If you don’t want to use the bag, destroy it. Don’t even sell it (even telling people it’s a fake) or give to charity. The reason is that fakes are usually made in developing countries in appalling conditions. If the manufacturers aren’t concerned about Intellectual Property law, I can assure you they don’t give a toss about labour or human rights laws. The only way to stop the mistreatment of the workers is to take the items out of circulation.
I know this is an old video but I personally purchase counterfeit bags as well as authentic. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to ever buy preloved because I’ve had two of my fake bags come back as “authentic” by real authentication. I don’t think they are a reliable company and would push for people to get things authenticated in person if you have to buy preloved. I buy fakes and auth for my personal enjoyment but I think it’s terrible that people try to trick people into unknowingly buying a fake. The fact that your Gucci came back as fake correctly just makes me think it was an average/mid level fake.
I think if you know what you are buying, then there's absolutely no problem, the problem I think is like you said, when people sell it as authentic and it isnt. I'm not too knowledgeable about Gucci, if may not have been a great copy 💕
This is exactly why the couple items I just bought on Poshmark I did several authentication websites and put it on my credit card just in case it looked different in person and such.
Omg the most awful feeling! This happened to me but on VC rather than eBay, I almost fainted, I tried to sell my Gucci Dionysus that i'd purchased from VC to Designer exchange and they came back to me saying 'it doesn't match their standards' or some other such polite words to say fake. I ended up getting my money back from Vestiaire but I was like omggg that bag has been sitting with all my other bags and I've been walking around with a fake! I may have even gone into Gucci with it ! eBay also scares me, my friend bought LV star trail boots that turned out to be fake :(
Oh that’s awful! Vc charge the high commission and authentication fees so this isn’t supposed to happen! So glad you got your money back, I hope your friend did to. I couldn’t believe it had been sitting there all along and was a fake!! 💕
I’ve been so tempted in the past to buy from eBay but always held back for fear of buying a fake. However , I sold a brand new Saint Laurent toy Lou Lou myself just last month so know there are lots of genuine sellers also. It’s a minefield 😫
Thank you for sharing! I can't believe Ebay didnt 'pull' the item! I tried to sell a Sterling, Tiffany Cuff that I had bought at Tiffanys many, many years ago and EBAY pulled it saying it wasn't real!!!
ebay has a 30 day guarantee to return items not as described and that includes fakes. I got sold a fake fendi baguette, one of the new models.. the lower than average price should've been a give away but I was new to luxury. Luckily poshmark let me return it even after the 3 days window because i sent the proof of the stitching that seemed off. It was also missing the rfid chip inside of the tag
Oh my dear, so sorry you went through this, but I got scammed exactly same way from eBay!😬😱I totally understand your disappointment and feeling! I am so angry at myself that I didn’t get authenticated at the time. I found out when I was going to sell it. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️ I need to film my experience, I don’t want anyone to go through what we went through. Thanks for sharing your experience!!!❤️💐
I buy everything new. Period... I figure your only saving a few hundred dollars buying preloved anyways. I’ll rather have it new. I’m sorry this happened to you 😞
Hi Again. I'm not sure why, but every time I finish watching a vlog of any one's, it always takes me to your "scammed video'. It loops me directly to this vlog here. Maybe, its a sign...
For some strange reasons many Brand new Gucci bags are on Vestiaire collective for 1/3 -1/2 prices and non of them come with receipt. Even after Vestiaire authentication Im not confident why so many brand new without receipt Gucci out or markets / same things with LV shawl , Still cant und are they fake or stolen items..
I’ve only bought one pre-loved bag and it came from fashionphile. I paid less than a thousand dollars, and it’s a Gucci bag. I will never buy another pre-loved bag, after listening to this😯
Thank you, we just have to be extra careful and get everything authenticated, and only buy from trusted sources. I have a bag from fashionphile that is 💯 authentic 💕
I’m sure you can find someone to give it to who doesn’t mind wearing it. Perhaps if you have a teenage niece or neighbor or someone... Consider it a lesson learned. You’re going to make someone else very happy!
I've been scammed buying from eBay three times buying a Mulberry, Chanel camera bag and a Valentino rock stud tote. As a seller I have been scammed too, never EVER send to a PO box address. I wish I saw your video 12 years ago. So many dishonest sellers on eBay I could write a book!!!
Isn’t it crazy!! I have sold on eBay myself and thankfully only scammed out of money on small purchases, but it’s becoming a very questionable platform. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you got your money back! 💕
@@ameliarosescloset I only got my money back for the Chanel camera bag, the seller was a true gentleman he was an antiques dealer and no knowledge of designer bags. Please don't even believe a bag is authentic with receipts so many tricks sellers play, even pretending their are charities for disabled people.
Hey just watched the video and I wanted to ask what happened to the bag? Caus it looks so so soo real to me and I have the same one but I bought it from the store. Did you get a second opinion? Caus it looks very real to me… Love your channel and if it is fake than I am truly sorry that this happend to you! Lots of love Isabelle💕🥺
You should always be suspicious of anyone who claims to say that they can authenticate bags. No such thing. Don't be SO cheap. Just buy from the boutique and have that peace of mind.
Oh no! So sorry to hear this..this is my hesitation of buying pre-loved unless I know the source solidly. Question...How do you get a bag/item authenticated? I have a Dior bag from many years ago I purchased off of eBay and I’ve always questioned the authenticity.
I used real authentication, the process with them is pretty simple. This code gives you $5 off ( and $5 credit on my acc). I would do it for peace of mind 💕
I am so sorry this happened to you but I don’t think it will again and that is the positive you should take from the situation. You have also given all of us a timely reminder to practice what you preach 😊which is always good. Maybe you should keep it in a dust bag and if you feel a moment of impulsive madness coming on you have a peek at it and be back on the straight and narrow. Don’t be too hard on yourself we all do daft things sometimes but if we learn we don’t waste that experience Xx
Try to get eBay to side with you and give you even a partial refund. Also, try to sell it locally to someone who can't afford a real Gucci. A teenage girl or young wife or mother who can't afford luxury but would still scream Love to this bag, could really enjoy it alot. Let us all know how it goes!!!! 🤞🤞🤞😁
Honey you are human, give yourself a break before you blow a gasket. “Caveat Emptor”, latin for “buyer beware” is a phrase to keep in mind. If your “batting” average is 99% correct, then you’re doing an awesome job in bag purchases. Your “gut instinct” was spot on. Pity you couldn’t of shown us “how to spot a fake” & tips to look for. Cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺🌺
Wish you’d have shown us the bag in more detail as it helps us see what a fake one looks like. Sometimes I think you have to be stupid enough to buy a fake to learn not to next time. It’s just sad if you can’t get your money back
Honestly, there is nothing to show you that looks fake, it’s so good. It’s quite scary how good they can make these fakes. Yes and such a lesson learned, I will never do that again 💕
Happened to me on eBay on a Chanel boy 🤢🤮I got Notting back and it is so weird I just had a feeling, I brought up to a consignment shop in Dublin to resell , I was holding my breath as it was been authenticated and he told me it was a very very good fake , I just left it with them as an example, I think it took me a year to get over my annoyance
Thank you for sharing that I’m not the only one, and gutted this happened to you on a Chanel! It will definitely live with my as a reminder to take more care 💕
I would try to contact your credit card company first if there is any way you can get your money back before you decide to get rid of your bag. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It really is a sickening feeling.
I got scammed few years ago with Chanel classic flap !! There was no authentication websites really at that time and felt uneasy going to Chanel store ! So i found out after three years of having it. Shame on them people how do that !! It will get back to them.
Just wondering if you got a second opinion/brought the bag into another place to get authenticated just to doubly be sure. Might be a chance real authentication has made a mistake. I’ve always questioned how accurate third party authenticators really are. It’s a beautiful bag and such a shame. I wouldn’t throw it out just yet. I’d get it re authenticated to make sure.
Oh no, sorry this happened to you! That fake was contaminating all your beauties with its fakeness 😂😂😂 Love your reaction. Thanks for sharing! So many scammers out there :(
The temple of the bags! I am so sorry this happened! Don't be hard on yourself. You have a million and one things to manage. Contact Ebay first because they often side with buyers and want to protect their image. If that doesn't work I think fire and shears are called for. Have a therapeutic obliteration session!!
Where did you get your bag authenticated? I could really use your referral to authenticate a recent purchase. Thank you. Also, so sorry this happened to you. Totally sucks. :(
Total bummer about your bag!! Your video just convinced me to get one of mine authenticated. I used your five dollar code.. waiting on the results. Thank you
@@ameliarosescloset it was!!! I got it from Poshmark which does authentication before they send it. So I want to worried but always good to get a second opinion.
Please don’t be so hard on yourself... A few months ago I had a purchased an item on Tradesy. I had it authenticated- it turns out to be a fake! I don’t know how it got passed those who allowed the seller and her items on the website!
Oh no! So sorry this happened, I hope you got your money back! Some people will try anything and authentication isn’t a science, things get through unfortunately 💕
Luckily Tradesy refunded me and I don’t see the seller on the website since my revelation. The seller had other items on Tradesy and who knows if previous sold items from this seller where fake. Ugh!
Oh, so sorry to hear of your experience! Can only imagine how mad you feel at yourself but it’s happened nearly everyone at some stage from buying online so don’t be so hard on yourself!
I feel so bad for you. I would be furious. It can happen to any of us. There should be jail time for those criminals. You should buy a new bag to help you heal from the trauma 😞
A lot of you are now getting bags authenticated! Use code EF86217 for $5 off ( this also credits my RA acc with $5) 💕
I had the same issues 2 years ago I received everything include receipt, box, dust bag, everything and the bag was fake🤬🤬🤬🤬 I figure out the next day so she never respond so sad 😞
So sorry this happened to you, what a bummer! Thank you for posting this, it was the impetus to get my most recent purchase authenticated. It's my first time buying pre-loved, and I'm a little anxious as I wait. Love your channel about bags and also finance, thank you for the rec and code.
lol.. I dont understand the drama.. it must be a nice bag if you thought it was an authentic.. Just keep it. I believe it came to your home for a reason only God knows.
“It’s been sitting in the temple of the bags with its counterfeitedness” ... “contaminating all the beauties with its fakeness” 😭 You were not being dramatic at all. That’s super devastating. I hope eBay or PayPal could be able to do something for you. Keep us posted
Thank you so much, I tried to find a little humour in it! 💕
Yikes this is terrible!! I bet all the Chanel and LV bags were all yelling “ Mother she’s a fake Gucci Help Help “
This comment is so weird lol.
Give it to a friend who needs cheering up. Fake or not, she's pretty and has use.
Thank you 💕
I accidentally bought a fake LV bag! I was tricked so hard because I paid a lot and it looked so legit, I chose to donate it to a secondhand store, because even though it was fake, I thought it may make someone less fortunate happy.
I learned my lesson the hard way. I now only buy in store or from a store online then get them authenticated!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Isn’t it awful! All that money gone , these scammers have no shame. I have def learned a lesson 💕
It happened to me, and if you used PayPal, you’ll get your money back. You open a claim and send the certificate and it takes some time but they’ll get you your refund. Keep the bag until you get your refund in case they need more documentation or photos.
Thank you, I did use PayPal, I will try and hopefully get lucky. I’m glad you got your money back 💕
Hi, i just got scammed and stumbled across this video. Do I submit the counterfeit documents to PayPal or the seller? Please help. I had bought a Chanel bag so you know it costed me a lot of money 😢
Sorry you experienced this, it’s awful. You made me laugh when concerned about contaminating your other bags, I would feel the same. Keep smiling.
Lol!! Thank you, I had to try and find the humour! 💕
This is just disgraceful, how can people do this?? How do they sleep at night?? Karma, life will get them...
Could not agree more!
Haven't we all been scammed on a velvet Marmont in Ebay??? 😭😭😭😭 (me, this past April)
Ahhh!!!! There seems to be so many of them about on eBay! Did you get your money back?
You can still contact eBay and report it , if you paid through PayPal I would contact them also and report it , even though the seller is gone , they should still be able to see the transaction and the fact that the listing is removed they may just help you , I think it’s worth a shot , especially because you have proof it’s not authentic . Say unusual circumstances and due to the pandemic you were not able to have it authenticated right away . I would give it a shot girl ! I’m so sorry this happened to you .
Thank you so much! I’m going to try and see what they say, it can’t hurt! 💕
Omg, I‘m so sorry this happened to you. I recently had an instance where I sold a Chanel bag that I had bought on Vestiaire (and had it authenticated via Real Authentication right after it had arrived). The bag had a minor imperfection which my buyer was aware of. So when she brought it into her local Chanel boutique to have it sent to France for repair. And the Chanel SA told her he was pretty sure it was a fake🤯 I was so shocked and I can only imagine how humiliating the situation must have been for my lovely buyer. So I got in contact with Vestiaire, we sent the bag back to Vestiaire for another in-depth check and it again came back authentic. So she went back to the Chanel boutique to another SA and she sent it to Chanel France and they did the repair no questions asked. So at the end of the day, it all turned out alright but this whole situation made me so scared of buying expensive items preloved...
There are so many stories out there that make it more and more scary to buy preloved! I’m glad yours worked out well in the end, but it all makes me so much more cautious, there’s so much money involved 💕
I feel the same I rather pay the ×$
I’ve been scammed also. Didn’t know I could file a dispute it, time had expired. Never again. Make sure there’s absolutely nothing you can do before you set a match to the piece of trash.
Thank you, I will check there’s nothing I can do but I do think I’ve prob left it too late 💕
If you paid paypal invoice you have up to 6 months to file a claim.
Don’t beat yourself up, we have all been there either buying or selling, it will only happen once
Thank you, and yes, it will only happen once 💕
I agree, don’t be hard on yourself. If it isn’t a bag we have been scammed on, it’s something else. It’s easy to let our guard down.
Sorry for your experienced. I have bought two years a LV handbag at the Real Real website. After couple of months using the bag one of the hardware broke and took it to LV boutique for repair. After 3weeks I received a call saying that they can not fix the bag and they clearly stated to me the reason. It’s non authentic! I immediately contacted the Real Real and and ship back the bag to them and I’m glad I got my money back. Lesson learned, since then no matter how expensive that bag that I liked I never, never buy from pre loved. Authenticator also failed.
Thank you for sharing this! It really can happen from anywhere, we have to be so careful. I’m glad you got your money back, but scary it passed through the authentications 💕
Donate it or give to someone that will appreciate it.
Thank you 💕
She probably won’t. She don’t seem like the type to give back, she’ll probably just throw it away
Ughhhh 😩 these fakes!!! I’m so sorry this happened to you. Good thing you caught it before selling it on to someone else.
I know!! You can’t be too careful. I wouldn’t sell it without satisfying myself, I’m so glad I did 💕
Oh my Goood, that happened to me! One of my givenchy bag, and when it came, the package was appalling, it was dirty, and then radio silence from the seller!! I got 85% of the money back tho!! But I was furious...
So sorry this happened to you, what is with these people!!! 💕
I’m selling a Dior Lady in Grey, medium size on eBay. I sold on eBay many years ago but I don’t know my account info so I just had to create a whole new account. Thus, I have no seller history with this new account, of course. I sure hope someone buys the bag even without my selling history. The bag is in perfect condition and it’s authentic, I swear! 😄
This may make it more difficult, it might be worth getting an authentication certificate to sell with it just to give added reassurance, or consider one of the IG ( reputable) consigners, some the commission isn’t that much more 💕
“Temple of the bags”😂 yeah I have a huge fear of preloved due to the chance of being scammed. It’s just too big a risk.
Lol! It really is dangerous, we need to be so careful 💕
Buy preloved bags on the Reebonz website.
Hi, if you still have that bag, try putting through a case with EBay. Did the listing state authentic, did the receipt state it was from a Gucci Store and provide authentication email. It doesn’t matter if it says not returnable. I sold a vintage Chanel Tote (stated not returnable in listing). I also had listed on Mercari and they authenticated it. Buyer was looking for brand new look. Note: it was listed as vintage. She wore the bag for weeks (could smell cologne) and kept gift I sent with purchase. EBay always sides with buyer; she returned bag before we could hash out difference and EBay hit my account and paid buyer.
That’s an awful experience, especially when you stated vintage and you know she wore it. I think if I hadn’t left it so long, eBay would def have dealt with it as everything stated it was supposed to be authenticate 💕
That’s an awful experience, especially when you listed it as vintage and you know she wore it. I’m pretty confident eBay would have sided with me if I hadn’t left it so long, everything stated it was supposed to be authentic 💕
Sorry this happened but girl I would be feeling the same as you if it happened to me.
My hubby always says "stopping trusting everyone, just because you would never do it doesn't mean others won't"!!
Great Video!!
I could not agree with this more, I think everyone will be honourable and then this happens! 💕
Omg!!! That’s terrible, ppl are unbelievable 😡😡, it’s such a shame, if your getting rid of it, I can buy from you to use the material of it as diy to create something for my daughter. It will no longer be a fake bag, I’ll be reborn.
Thank you! What could you make from it 💕
@@ameliarosescloset I was thinking of cutting up the fabric into shapes and sawing them into a denim jacket. Glue the gg into the heart shape into the sides too. You can do that for yourself!! The chain can be used to create a belt, they’re very trendy. You can have your unique master piece
Your accent is glorious ❤️ you are not stupid, this can happen to anyone, sending you love

Oh they are, Lego is very serious! And thank you, we all need to remember to be so careful online 💕
I just found your channel and I am so sorry this happened to you. I have major fear of buying from resale sites and this really confirms my concern. I love your honesty and appreciate you for sharing this with us. Sending 💖 from California.
Thank you So much, it def makes it more worrying to buy pre loved. And hi from Ireland! 💕
I don’t let my mom carry her fake Chanel bag when I’m with her for many reasons, mostly because of my conscious, slightly because of snobbery. I would just throw that bag away.
I no longer have it but it wasn't for me 💕
This happened to me years ago with ebay to. From that day I get things authenticated and NEVER buy luxury off of eBay. I found out my bag was fake when I wasn’t using it and sold it. That person got it authenticated and that is when I found out it was fakeZ she accused me of selling fakes and I literally was a victim too. It was too late for me to do anything. I returned the buyers money and destroyed the bag. Never again. Only real resellers and get everything authenticated. It’s worth the piece of mind!
If I had sold this on, it would have genuinely been with no idea I was selling a fake. It can happen to any of us and some of these fakes are scarily good. I won’t buy luxury from eBay again and I will stick to me advice of getting authenticated. Thank you for sharing that I’m not the only one! 💕
I never pay attention to reviews because I see people going crazy over fake bags all the time on UA-cam and I think to myself if they don’t know what the real one looks and feel like why would I take their opinion I buy my bags at the store so later on down if there’s a problem I bring it right back. Last year I had a YSL card holder I purchased from Nordstrom that just seemed defective and this was purchased from 2018 so I brought it to the store in 2022 they inspected it and said it’s real but it’s definitely defective since I’ve used it maybe five times because when you own a lot you don’t use them as much and they took it back. I’m over buying luxury bags now because they’re getting out of control with the prices.
Ohhhh NO 😱😱😱😱😱
That is not OK!!!!!
If something is NOT Authentic, a seller shouldn't sell as Authentic!!!!! I buy from Ebay & I sell on Ebay.
I do Authentic items I purchase pre loved, even though I know
By checking it myself its Authentic, just for peace of mind. I use them as well. However if you do purchase an item that turns out to be not Authentic, you can 100% get your $$$ back with NO problems!!
Thank you my friend! I have sold absolutely genuine items on eBay, and I knew better. Should have got it authenticated right away 💕
*Oh, no! 😭😭😭 I’m sorry, hun! 🙏🏼 I had 6 Gucci Marmont flap handbags all purchased directly from Gucci (4 leather + 2 velvet: red & turquiose) out of impulse, but later sold 5 of them and kept just 1 (white leather). I love them, but slowly realized that I prefer Chanel & LV more 😜 Hope the person who sold you that fake bag will get his/her reward, soon. I believe in KARMA!*
Thank you so much! The colours just drew me to impulsive buying! 💕
I don’t buy pre-loved! So many super fakes out there. I wonder how many people have paid thousands for a good counterfeit, thinking they are carrying the real thing. I’ve been scammed twice. After that, no more pre-loved!!!
Oh no! I hope you got your money back!! There are so many scammers out there, I’m so much more cautious now. Super fakes are scary 💕
Oh my! I’m sorry you had to experience this. I’ve definitely been in your situation. I’m enjoying your channel. Your so passionate!😊❤️
Thank you so much! I can get a tad excited!! 💕
@@ameliarosescloset 😆🤣
This has happened to me not once but twice 🥲don’t beat yourself up too much..I’ve made my peace with it and am so very careful now!! It’s violating and I hate what happened but definitely have learned from it! TFS ☺️💕
Thank you for making me feel better!! I have definitely learnt my lesson and will be much more careful now 💕
I got scammed twice, way back 2015.. I kept the bags as a reminder of my stupidity and not listening with my own gut.. and as a reminder that when money involved to be careful where to put my trust into.. such a great video! Thank you for sharing! Such an inspiration ♥️💕💕💕
Thank you so much! We all need a reminder to be safe online and take extra precaution I think,‘it really can happen to anyone 💕
Thank you so much! I think we all need a reminder from time to time to be safe online and take extra precautions. It really can happen to anyone 💕
I’m sorry this happened to you. Many people have mentioned donating the bag, but there’s always the danger of it ending up back in the marketplace by someone who assumes it is authentic. It is, however, gorgeous on it’s own. I don’t know why counterfeiters don’t just leave the branding off and sell as an “inspired by” ?
Thank you, I would be worried about donating it as it’s still a counterfeit and I don’t want to be involved in Passing that on, as you say, it could even get sold back into the market. They just care about the money :(
I'm not sure if you've done anything with the bag and I'm not done watching the video but you can sell it but to someone who knows it's fake and is ok with that. regardless of its inauthenticity, it's still a beautiful bag. I'm sure someone won't mind that it's fake and take it off your hands. If that was a bag that I wanted I wouldn't mind having a fake one since I can't afford real ones.
Thank you! I did gift it to someone in the full knowledge it was a fake, I have updated this video to let everyone know what happened with the money etc 💕
@@ameliarosescloset I just saw your second video on this. I've been binging haha. I'm a fan, I enjoy your videos and I love your accent!
I can’t believe this! I am so sorry to hear this happened to you. I have told myself I can’t be scammed - but after watching your video - I realize this could happen to anyone. Could you please do a follow up video to let us know what was the dead giveaway? What was fake? What did the authenticator say? It would be good to let us know. Thanks for sharing!!
thank you, it really can happen to anyone x
It can be very painful when this happens. The same thing happened to me. I only got to know that the bag was fake when I shared it online and someone who worked in Dior previously dropped a comment saying it was fake. I had it authenticated and it turned out she was right. I bought it 18 months before knowing it was fake so I couldn't return it. I can no longer use it as I don't wear fakes either. I am just not comfortable doing that. I shared it on my channel too
Oh I’ll watch that! That’s awful, you wear it having no idea then someone comments. These scammers have no shame 💕
Really sorry this happened to you 😩 (and to everyone telling her to sell or donate the bag, counterfeits are illegal! If someone found out SHE moved along a counterfeit bag, that’s her reputation on the line. If you are fine with owning or using a counterfeit that’s up to you, but please don’t suggest our lovely youtuber try to pass along a fake.)
Thank you so much! 💕
Did you get your money back? Never rush a purchase, always get it authenticated. Such an experience really makes you trust people less...
Such a learning experience! I will definitely not do that again! Still not finalised but doesn’t look like it as I left it so long 💕
I got scam recently by an app call ssense they sold m a Gucci bag tht cost m 880 dollars and when it arrive it was fake I send it back but still haven’t get my money I fear I may not get it is sad tht apps can do tht to people sell fake and to make it worst not give u ur own money after they scam u
I’m so sorry this happened to you too! I really hope you get your money back! 💕
@@ameliarosescloset awww thanks so much 😘😘😘 just don’t buy from tht app total fakes there
I've been through this! My credit card company stepped in marvelously. Scared the skin off of that snake. Had the seller charged me 1 penny more I could have taken them to claims court. They had the nerve to demand I ship it back. I told them I would not ship counterfeit products. The audacity! Cut it up and put it in the trash.
It's gone, long gone, glad yours worked out ok x
This just shows luxury items aren’t really as luxury if you can immediately tell imposters. Let that sink in
Absolutely, fakes are improving to being identical
Ah I cant believe it. I am so so sorry that happened to you! Before purchasing my Givenchy antigona in mid November ( which was stolen in December) i had been searching on the preloved market for a year but was too scared to buy just in case. Mind you I probably wouldnt have been upset if I had taken what happened after in December. So sorry again. Its a lesson for all of us, thanks for sharing 💖
Absolutely a lesson, I won’t make the same mistake again! I still can’t get over that happened to you 💕
Your honesty and the need for you to warn everyone is so kind of you. Thank you so much. How much money did you pay for the Gucci bag? Please could you do a video on reliable sites to buy and sell and where and how to get items authenticated. Thank you. X
I think around £800 ish, I can't remember exactly but too much to have been so careless!
@@ameliarosescloset Oh no! That's a lot of money. Karma will definitely come back to that person who scammed you and you will receive more blessings from God when you least expect it. X
Sitting on the temple of the bags...contaminating the others......lololol.....
Lol!! I had to find the humour! 😘
Question: Did this happen before Ebay added their own authentification service?
yes
I have this bag which I purchased from Gucci. It’s the colour Rubin. The genuine item is so vibrant. When I saw this initially on your channel, I knew instantly it was fake, the colour is dull and the bag looks matted. I’m sorry you had this bad experience 🤭
Omg, so sorry to hear that. That is so terrible. Honestly . I am so afraid to buy from untrust website or individual. Thank you so much for sharing darling.❤️
Thank you, it’s defiantly daunting, everyone needs to be very cautious buying pre loved 💕
Thank you so much, and yes we all need to be so cautious buying Pre loved 💕
What a major bummer! I’d try what some others have suggested about double checking the authentication. If indeed fake, I’d open a case with PayPal trying to recoup some if not all your money on this garbage. Your story is exactly why I am too scared to buy a bag from EBay. I’ve purchased many from FASHIONPHILE and Rebag, but don’t know if those are available to you. Gotta a good chuckle from your rant about the fake bag being in the “temple”. Lol. I have been crushing on that shade of purple in a Gucci bag since I first saw it. But of course in a real Gucci. Good luck on getting this resolved.
Thank you so much, I’ll try but think I make her too late. I’m so wary of eBay now, people like this ruin it for everyone 💕
I'm too chicken to buy from eBay or individual sellers. I'd rather pay more to get it from Fashionphile / Rebag / TRR just so I know they'll be there if there's any issues. Although I've never heard of any customers challenging their authenticity... does anyone have experience?
I would def recommend getting it authenticated no matter where you buy it from 💕
I own the Fanny pack and that’s it I knew the same way it came in is the same way it would go out. My boyfriend at the time they hit stores bought me one and I returned it and got some other stuff
The leggo interruption was SO CUTE! I love your channel...
Lol!! He can be cute! Thank you so much 💕
If you don’t want to use the bag, destroy it. Don’t even sell it (even telling people it’s a fake) or give to charity. The reason is that fakes are usually made in developing countries in appalling conditions. If the manufacturers aren’t concerned about Intellectual Property law, I can assure you they don’t give a toss about labour or human rights laws. The only way to stop the mistreatment of the workers is to take the items out of circulation.
I absolutely agree this is a very dangerous underworld to the fake market where people are suffering and taken advantage of 💕
I know this is an old video but I personally purchase counterfeit bags as well as authentic. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to ever buy preloved because I’ve had two of my fake bags come back as “authentic” by real authentication. I don’t think they are a reliable company and would push for people to get things authenticated in person if you have to buy preloved. I buy fakes and auth for my personal enjoyment but I think it’s terrible that people try to trick people into unknowingly buying a fake. The fact that your Gucci came back as fake correctly just makes me think it was an average/mid level fake.
I think if you know what you are buying, then there's absolutely no problem, the problem I think is like you said, when people sell it as authentic and it isnt. I'm not too knowledgeable about Gucci, if may not have been a great copy 💕
I would sell it and let the person know it’s not real someone will still use I am sure
Thank you 💕
This is exactly why the couple items I just bought on Poshmark I did several authentication websites and put it on my credit card just in case it looked different in person and such.
That was absolutely the right thing to do, I’ve definitely learnt a lesson 💕
Omg the most awful feeling! This happened to me but on VC rather than eBay, I almost fainted, I tried to sell my Gucci Dionysus that i'd purchased from VC to Designer exchange and they came back to me saying 'it doesn't match their standards' or some other such polite words to say fake. I ended up getting my money back from Vestiaire but I was like omggg that bag has been sitting with all my other bags and I've been walking around with a fake! I may have even gone into Gucci with it ! eBay also scares me, my friend bought LV star trail boots that turned out to be fake :(
Oh that’s awful! Vc charge the high commission and authentication fees so this isn’t supposed to happen! So glad you got your money back, I hope your friend did to. I couldn’t believe it had been sitting there all along and was a fake!! 💕
I got scammed on eBay, I said great deal I can buy two instead of one. Fake fake fake! I did get refunded, I will never buy on eBay again!
I’ve been so tempted in the past to buy from eBay but always held back for fear of buying a fake. However , I sold a brand new Saint Laurent toy Lou Lou myself just last month so know there are lots of genuine sellers also. It’s a minefield 😫
Absolutely, I have sold completely authentic items on eBay, but I would now be too scared to buy any 💕
Enjoyed this video as a reminder to be careful when buying bags but what gave it away that the bag is fake?
Thank you, I hope it stops this happening to someone else! Nothing at all, I had no idea until I got it authenticated to sell it 💕
I do t have time or tolerance for this. Exactly why I only buy directly from the designer.
It’s awful, such a horrible experience 💕
Thank you for sharing! I can't believe Ebay didnt 'pull' the item! I tried to sell a Sterling, Tiffany Cuff that I had bought at Tiffanys many, many years ago and EBAY pulled it saying it wasn't real!!!
Nope, got right the way through and I genuinely had no idea. I would have been ok if I’d gotten it authenticated earlier, I won’t do that again! 💕
ebay has a 30 day guarantee to return items not as described and that includes fakes. I got sold a fake fendi baguette, one of the new models.. the lower than average price should've been a give away but I was new to luxury. Luckily poshmark let me return it even after the 3 days window because i sent the proof of the stitching that seemed off. It was also missing the rfid chip inside of the tag
If I had acted quicker I think I would have been ok, but I stupidly didn’t get it authenticated right away, silly, costly mistake! 💕
Fyi do your research preloved sites have fakes too. The best way to buy is always from the store.
Absolutely, we have to be so careful and try and protect ourselves as much as we can 💕
Oh my dear, so sorry you went through this, but I got scammed exactly same way from eBay!😬😱I totally understand your disappointment and feeling! I am so angry at myself that I didn’t get authenticated at the time. I found out when I was going to sell it. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️ I need to film my experience, I don’t want anyone to go through what we went through. Thanks for sharing your experience!!!❤️💐
Isn’t it awful! You should definitely film this, the more honest people can be warned the better! 💕
I buy everything new. Period... I figure your only saving a few hundred dollars buying preloved anyways. I’ll rather have it new. I’m sorry this happened to you 😞
If I can find the bag, in with ya! 💕
Hi Again. I'm not sure why, but every time I finish watching a vlog of any one's, it always takes me to your "scammed video'. It loops me directly to this vlog here. Maybe, its a sign...
I think the universe is trying to warn us all! 💕
I’m so sorry to hear that you were scammed! My heart was breaking for you while watching this.
Thank you so much, definitely a lesson learned 💕
For some strange reasons many Brand new Gucci bags are on Vestiaire collective for 1/3 -1/2 prices and non of them come with receipt. Even after Vestiaire authentication Im not confident why so many brand new without receipt Gucci out or markets / same things with LV shawl , Still cant und are they fake or stolen items..
I am definitely going to be extra careful going forward, if something seems off, follow my gut 💕
I’ve only bought one pre-loved bag and it came from fashionphile. I paid less than a thousand dollars, and it’s a Gucci bag. I will never buy another pre-loved bag, after listening to this😯
Thank you, we just have to be extra careful and get everything authenticated, and only buy from trusted sources. I have a bag from fashionphile that is 💯 authentic 💕
I’m sure you can find someone to give it to who doesn’t mind wearing it. Perhaps if you have a teenage niece or neighbor or someone... Consider it a lesson learned. You’re going to make someone else very happy!
I’ve been thinking about that as it seems so wasteful and privileged to destroy it, thanks for sharing your thoughts 💕
@@ameliarosescloset Glad you found someone who can enjoy the bag :-) Loved the Color of it !!!!
And this is why i haven‘t bought a second hand bag so far.
It def puts us off
I've been scammed buying from eBay three times buying a Mulberry, Chanel camera bag and a Valentino rock stud tote. As a seller I have been scammed too, never EVER send to a PO box address. I wish I saw your video 12 years ago. So many dishonest sellers on eBay I could write a book!!!
Isn’t it crazy!! I have sold on eBay myself and thankfully only scammed out of money on small purchases, but it’s becoming a very questionable platform. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you got your money back! 💕
@@ameliarosescloset I only got my money back for the Chanel camera bag, the seller was a true gentleman he was an antiques dealer and no knowledge of designer bags. Please don't even believe a bag is authentic with receipts so many tricks sellers play, even pretending their are charities for disabled people.
@@lorrainepalmier1777 oh my goodness!
Hey just watched the video and I wanted to ask what happened to the bag? Caus it looks so so soo real to me and I have the same one but I bought it from the store. Did you get a second opinion? Caus it looks very real to me…
Love your channel and if it is fake than I am truly sorry that this happend to you!
Lots of love
Isabelle💕🥺
Thank you so much! Yes it was double checked and a fake :(
You should always be suspicious of anyone who claims to say that they can authenticate bags. No such thing. Don't be SO cheap. Just buy from the boutique and have that peace of mind.
Boutique is safest 💕
Oh no! So sorry to hear this..this is my hesitation of buying pre-loved unless I know the source solidly. Question...How do you get a bag/item authenticated? I have a Dior bag from many years ago I purchased off of eBay and I’ve always questioned the authenticity.
I used real authentication, the process with them is pretty simple. This code gives you $5 off ( and $5 credit on my acc). I would do it for peace of mind 💕
EF86217 is the code 💕
@@ameliarosescloset thank you and I will.. we have to be so careful .. The scammers are out there and they are experienced
I am so sorry this happened to you but I don’t think it will again and that is the positive you should take from the situation. You have also given all of us a timely reminder to practice what you preach 😊which is always good. Maybe you should keep it in a dust bag and if you feel a moment of impulsive madness coming on you have a peek at it and be back on the straight and narrow. Don’t be too hard on yourself we all do daft things sometimes but if we learn we don’t waste that experience Xx
Thank you so much! You have been softer on me than I have been on myself! I could kick myself! I hope this stops even one person getting scammed!
Try to get eBay to side with you and give you even a partial refund. Also, try to sell it locally to someone who can't afford a real Gucci. A teenage girl or young wife or mother who can't afford luxury but would still scream Love to this bag, could really enjoy it alot. Let us all know how it goes!!!! 🤞🤞🤞😁
Thank you! I will try with eBay but I’ve left it very long 💕
Honey you are human, give yourself a break before you blow a gasket. “Caveat Emptor”, latin for “buyer beware” is a phrase to keep in mind. If your “batting” average is 99% correct, then you’re doing an awesome job in bag purchases. Your “gut instinct” was spot on. Pity you couldn’t of shown us “how to spot a fake” & tips to look for. Cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺🌺
Thank you! I'll focus on the ones I got right! 💕
Wish you’d have shown us the bag in more detail as it helps us see what a fake one looks like. Sometimes I think you have to be stupid enough to buy a fake to learn not to next time. It’s just sad if you can’t get your money back
Honestly, there is nothing to show you that looks fake, it’s so good. It’s quite scary how good they can make these fakes. Yes and such a lesson learned, I will never do that again 💕

Happened to me on eBay on a Chanel boy 🤢🤮I got Notting back and it is so weird I just had a feeling, I brought up to a consignment shop in Dublin to resell , I was holding my breath as it was been authenticated and he told me it was a very very good fake , I just left it with them as an example, I think it took me a year to get over my annoyance
Thank you for sharing that I’m not the only one, and gutted this happened to you on a Chanel! It will definitely live with my as a reminder to take more care 💕
Never buy an expensive handbag on eBay. I only buy items less than $500 on their website.
This is great advice 💕
I would try to contact your credit card company first if there is any way you can get your money back before you decide to get rid of your bag. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It really is a sickening feeling.
Thank you so much, I will try, and will also try eBay 💕
I got scammed few years ago with Chanel classic flap !! There was no authentication websites really at that time and felt uneasy going to Chanel store ! So i found out after three years of having it. Shame on them people how do that !! It will get back to them.
Oh no!!! On a Chanel! Some people have no shame! 💕
Just wondering if you got a second opinion/brought the bag into another place to get authenticated just to doubly be sure. Might be a chance real authentication has made a mistake. I’ve always questioned how accurate third party authenticators really are. It’s a beautiful bag and such a shame. I wouldn’t throw it out just yet. I’d get it re authenticated to make sure.
I did, unfortunately it was the same result, very disappointing x

I hope it was authentic!
@@ameliarosescloset it was!!! I got it from Poshmark which does authentication before they send it. So I want to worried but always good to get a second opinion.

Thank you so much, I’ll keep laughing! I would never sell a bag I didn’t know 💯 was authentic 💕
I’m curious too, what do I do with a counterfeit bag? Anybody know
Please don’t be so hard on yourself... A few months ago I had a purchased an item on Tradesy. I had it authenticated- it turns out to be a fake! I don’t know how it got passed those who allowed the seller and her items on the website!
Oh no! So sorry this happened, I hope you got your money back! Some people will try anything and authentication isn’t a science, things get through unfortunately 💕
Luckily Tradesy refunded me and I don’t see the seller on the website since my revelation. The seller had other items on Tradesy and who knows if previous sold items from this seller where fake. Ugh!
Oh, so sorry to hear of your experience! Can only imagine how mad you feel at yourself but it’s happened nearly everyone at some stage from buying online so don’t be so hard on yourself!
