Has anyone accidentally purchased an item that was not authentic? Please share so we can avoid these pitfalls and learn from each other!❤
Yes I bought a fake Gelareh Mizrahi bag on Poshmark! I made a video on it. Thankfully I got all my money back but Poshmark fought me and didn’t comply. I always pay through another service that has buyer protection. So often that’s a credit card. This time I paid with Affirm. Affirm is wonderful they agreed with me that it was a fake and they gave my money back with no fight. Even when I have the funds on hand I will never buy a bag with debit or cash.
I always look at the eBay results with the authenticity guarantee. You can filter your results with that option. One time I did get a quick check from an outside authentication service but it sold that quick unfortunately.
Here in the US bags over $500 used to all be part of that so I would just sort for US but now I will do what you suggest :-). Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
Nowadays Gorgeous bag, however, for saving money and high-quality bags, try t *suluxy* the rest of the money goes to needy students at schools to pay for their education, not much, but do help them a little.
I just purchased a bag for $600 and it just came out of eBay's authentication process just yesterday. I will keep an eye out though. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it! Ty for sharing:). The authenticity center hasn't went away - there are just a lot of sellers opting not to use it unfortunately:(...♥️♥️♥️
Sorry to hear about this experience. Fortunately, though a refund was quickly provided. Thank you for pointing out the eBay policy. I too thought all qualifying luxury handbags over $500 went to an authentication center.
Yes it was relatively painless - thank goodness!!! ♥️♥️♥️
You know what? I just noticed last week as I was looking through eBay a lot of bags didn’t have authenticity checked.
It's crazy - I wonder when it happened?!? It's also true of the basketball shoes - there are almost none going through authentication it seems😩...
OMG!! I’m so sorry to hear this! Thank you so much for this. I was not aware of the change in the authentication process. Very glad to hear you got your money back asap.
Awe ty so much my friend! Yes, just make sure you see the words "shipped to authenticator" before you buy or get it authenticated yourself first! ♥️♥️♥️
Good to know that policies have changed! Is it me or are there also less bag discount codes now on ebay? Also, I remember you had bought the baby niki and I think it was the same style or at least black, are there other bags you sold and tried to get back or are looking to get back or is that another video in itself? Glad you avoided getting a fake bag!
yes, I'm not sure when that happened… I had a baby Niki, but I sold it because the hardware was black and I was worried about it… It's actually the one in the cover photo that I had :-). I would love to have another one (it's a great style), and that's why I tried to buy this bag with dark silver hardware. There should be another baby niki video in the future! Ty for watching ♥️🌸♥️

Good to know this information. Glad you caught it in time
ty so much Eva♥️♥️♥️
I think they must have changed it. I sold a bag over $500 and it went to authentication, this was last year. They said it had damage it didn't and sent it back to me. Left a grease stain on the box. Very disappointing
Yes they changed it for sure - just not sure when it happened...I'm sorry about your experience- ty for sharing!!!

I bought a speedy on eBay a long time ago that the authenticators told me had repairs done that were not done by LV….therefore they could not deem it authentic.
oh wow! That's great they caught it♥️. Ty for sharing my friend🥰🥰🥰
I bought a few bags off eBay and all went through authentication and I used legit grails as a backup. So sorry.
A lot of them still do! I think it is just now that the seller has a choice and before they didn't if it was over $500… At least if it was classified correctly :-).♥️♥️♥️. Tysm
I wondered how this worked. I purchased two items right after EBay started this service. Both listings had the EBay Authentication in the listing but neither were shipped to EBay to be authenticated. I did have the items authenticated when I received them and thankfully it worked out. I agree, the buyer should have the option to request the items be authenticated by EBay during the check out process.
That's weird but i'm glad it worked out for you...it's seems like there are some inconsistencies for sure with eBay😩...ty for sharing♥️♥️♥️
I listed a Loewe bag last weekend but got concerned about a bait and switch or some other scam so cancelled it. There was no option - it was to get mailed to eBay’s authentication center at no fee. There was a shipping choice which defaulted to USPS and I changed to FedEx. Could the seller for yours maybe not listed it as a handbag?
That's very interesting- it may be brand specific but I spoke with ebay and in this case the rep at least told me the seller had an option?!? Whatever it is, I only want to buy and sell items that go through their authenticity center♥️. They take photos and make sure returns come back the way they were sent out and that items purchased are what was advertised🥰. Ty so much!♥️
@@thehandbaghousewife Perhaps, eBay’s policy changed in the last few days.
I’ve always been scared to buy from eBay. So glad you had it checked out.
I’m also glad you didn’t sell the wave to fashionphile 😅
I'm not scared if it has the authenticity guarantee:)...me too! Ty so much my friend♥️♥️♥️.
Oh no!! 😢
I’ve purchased a few LV items from eBay, and now I guess I’ll need to get my things authenticated for myself.
Most sellers say authentic, item, but I guess that doesn’t mean anything.🤷🏽♀️😮😮
Some are still opting for the authenticity guarantee, it's just a choice now instead of automatic - so be careful!!!♥️♥️♥️
I purchased a black coach Cassie on Mercari recently. I was expecting genuine. It was a super fake and wow it was soooo close to the real one. It was a gift for my mom and she wouldn’t have known the difference but that’s not how I roll. I had to open a case and they asked me to send it back to the seller so I did and a few days after delivery back to them, the money posted to my account. The seller never “accepted” my return. It was nerve racking. A couple days after the return issue, the seller deleted their profile. I kept trying to find a way to report the page / the listing and express my concerns and there was no option for that. Now I know and I will be extra careful online. Thankfully Mercari sided with me😅
I'm so glad you got your money back! Ty so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
Ur such a smart buyer 😊. Very educational, ThankU. 🥰🙏
Thank you! 😃
Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad it was sorted out so quickly for you.
Of course! Ty for watching sweetie!🥰🥰🥰
It was very smart of you to have it authenticated before it shipped and that saved you the hassle of returning it. Totally ridiculous that they don’t require authentication of luxury items when there are so many fakes out there. Sorry this one didn’t work out but you’ll find that bag somewhere and hopefully for a good price.
It was lucky I caught it before she dropped it off - that saves her money too. It's ok, of course:). I'm just glad I'm done with the situation! There's always another bag😜🥰♥️
Aaryn, so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I am glad you took the steps to protect yourself. Thank you for letting us know the changes about ebay.
Thanks so much Kathy. I appreciate you♥️♥️♥️
It’s such a bummer it turned out to be inauthentic beautiful friend. I’m sorry 😢
awe ty so much - just not meant to be!♥️
That's so ridiculous, there should be a mandatory authentication above $500, and an optional one you can pay for as a buyer below that. I would never trust a seller that opts out of that. Sorry you had to deal with that!
I know, right?!? It used to be mandatory at least for sales within the USA...and I would have loved to have had the option to buy it if the item were below. It's definitely a step in the wrong direction by eBay imo, if I am understanding things correctly...😢♥️
I’m sorry this happened to you Aaryn but glad there was a resolution & you received your refund promptly. It’s scary trying to sell or buy preloved luxury bags from individuals because you don’t want to end up getting scammed. Where would you suggest trying to sell contemporary bags?
Ty so much🥰. I like facebook pages like CGR and CGR 2.0 to sell contemporary bags using paypal invoice:)
@@thehandbaghousewife Great! Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely look into them.
Ugh! 😣 that was so close.
Yea I dodged a bullet😩🥰♥️
Thanks for sharing this
My pleasure ♥️♥️♥️
I found this interesting as when I have looked at a handbag and it did not say authenticity guarantee on the heading, it offered it for $40 below the pay option buttons-so had not seen one like yours before. Will pay close attention for sure in future! 💕
oh wow! ty for sharing - I didn't notice it as an option to purchase...but it could have been there and that would have been great! ♥️
I just checked with another item and that wasn't an option! I wonder if it was just offered for a short time or only with select parameters...🤔🤔🤔
❤TFS!😊
of course!!!
I too have pieces to sell but I'm scared of scams.
that's why I like the ebay authentication program - you can still use it as a seller to protect both you and the buyer! it just costs now:(...♥️
@@thehandbaghousewifeI feel like eBay only protects the seller. Love to learn that I’m wrong.
@@melissalightstone7185 I feel like they protect the buyer as much if not more than the seller because they will let the buyer return pretty much anything for any reason…❤
