- Hey all, recently I was so excited to but myself a Coach 1941/Originals bag from ebay. I checked out the seller and based on what I could see in the photos, tha bag was authentic! Then it arrived!! So disappointed!!
The bag is a fake, a "fairly good" fake I'd say, but there were far too many red flags and issues.
I explain everything that is wrong about this and indicates it's a fake. So sad.
I didn't mention the seller's ebay name, but prepared to tell you if you're interested!
Have you ever been scammed!
Ahhh, it is so upsetting when this happens!
Glad you got it resolved and got your money back!
And good that you didn’t tell her the issues!
Hope you find the authentic one - it looks like it would be an adorable piece! I loooove the navy blue!
And your Coach embellished bag is 🤩🙌.
I cannot wait for your video on it!
Hugs bella! 😘
Thnx Maria, yes the Rodarte piece is a real stunner!! Its such a shame about the Riley, I do still love that bag. Very cute but would be practical too xx I'm relieved the outcome was positive xx
I’m so sorry that happened to you! My outlet pieces are stiched better than that!😭 looks beautiful I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t pointed out the minor flaws!
Such a shame about this bag, Tania!! As soon as you opened the flap and I saw the red "leather" I gasped: it looks horrible on camera. I am glad that ebay was helpful and you are getting a refund. 🤗
Glad you caught on to it and got your money back. So sad how she tried to trick you and put you at ease with the card and all the packaging.🤬 TFS your experience! 😘
Thnx Kim, it's incredible that ppl can sleep at night doing this!! And then she tried to ask me why I thought it was fake!! No way!!
Thnx for your support Kim xx
Wow they go through an extreme to replicate it. Scary
So glad you got the full refund. I’ve been scammed in Ebay too…. I was sent a book instead of an iPhone. Luckily, I filmed the unboxing. Your coach bag looks fake inside - it looks like pleather. Thanks for sharing Tanya - it’s scary to buy things second hand these days… 😞
I was thinking the same thing Pleather!
Oh no! I am so sorry! It's a gorgeous style, I hope you're able to find an authentic one.
This is super scary! Thank you for sharing your experience! It is very helpful when shopping on the resale market.
You are so welcome Sherrice! I always double check, and this time I did too. This one slipped through the cracks, but I'm lucky I was able to get a refund! Thnx for commenting xx
That’s horrible! Get your money back girllllll! So sorry you had to go thru that. Don’t feel bad it happened to me too with a different brand and I got my money back. Tfs🙏👯♀️🥰👜
So unfortunate Tania. Sorry this happened. Thankfully 🙏🏻 you are getting a full refund. 💕
Wow. Wow. Wow. That's insane! I bought that bag from the Coach store a while ago and it was beautifully made. When you showed the inside of the flap, I actually gasped. Terrible. And the kicker is that note where she thanked you for supporting her small business and asked you to leave a review. The audacity!
Smart that you did not tell her so that she wouldn't improve her scam. I would not have thought of that. Yikes.
Exactly!! how crazy. She really tried to get me to share what was wrong with it and I just didn't address that question. I'm not giving her that information! :-0
So sorry this has happened. I nearly got caught with a Coach Cassie from the USA which was very inexpensive. That is what stopped me. The price was too low. I was lucky. I am sure it was a scam. I forget the price now, but it was just too cheap and I am now sure that the photos were from the Coach website, not of the bag itself. I empathise. I am glad that at least you are getting your money back. But sorry you had to go through that. On eBay, I now mostly stick to Japanese sellers. They are reliable. Thank you for the video and I hope that you soon find an authentic version of this bag.
That was very sneaky! It’s gut wrenching when this happens. But I’m super glad you got a full refund.
Thnx KEnny. IT really puts a damper on buying online doesn't it? xx
The funniest thing is she asked why you thought it was a replica! 😳😂 Unbelievable.
I also bought a fake coach bag which was a Coach Tabby. But... I already had 3 Tabbys and the finish and smell gave it away. But I have to say it looked quite impressive. Like you the feedback was 100% so the number of people being scammed was horrendous. I disputed it straight away and received an instant refund.
Me too, I knew within minutes! Unbelievable!! So relieved we received a refund!!! 🙂 thank you for commenting xx
How can I dispute this?
Love the embellished bag!! Reminds me of Hermès 🤗🎀
That's exactly what I would say! Wow, wow, wow!! A great tale of caution! You handled the whole situation magnificently! Well done. What happens to the seller now? Did they get a strike? 😊
I hope they did, I certainly reported them! Thnx so much for watching 😁
Ah it’s crap when this happens! So glad you got your money back, these scammers are everywhere!
Impossible to escape them! :-( the cycles continues to manifest. I bet they watch our videos to learn what to include in their replicas! :-(
Oh my goodness!!! Tania!!’ This is horrible! I’m so sorry you got scammed! Let me continue to watch….
Tania thank goodness you will be reimburse!! I hope Ebay disable the seller’s account!!
Hi dear!! I think it's a very good fake. However, good pick on the glazing and the fake magnetisdd button at the bag. It is the small details that gave it away. I hope you can return it and get your momey back. TFS and i feel sad for you 😬🥲🥴
Hi Tania. Just found your channel and subscribed and am going through watching all your videos. Just finished watching this one and looked up on ebay and I am assuming I found the seller who scammed you. Ebay didn't ban her and she has three of those bags still for sale and others. I guess ebay do not care. Glad you got your money back. Not fair to other buyers who are not as knowledgeable as you. Well, I'm off to watch more of your videos.
HI Lorraine xx Lovely to meet you! Yes, I noticed that ebay hasn't banned her. I can only guess it's because not enough people have reported her, and those who've bought from her probably don't realise? So sad. Thank you for subscribing and welcome!! xx
So sorry this happened to you. The red interior is poor quality. I don’t know how it works in Australia but in the US the coach outlet stores do not provide dust bags. I am not familiar with this style of bag, it may have been a coach reserve bag at the outlet which are coach retail bags moved to the outlet. Too many red flags…glad you were reimbursed 👍🏻
Thank you Christa. Yes, I've seen these dustbags before, I think the outlet bags have them. I'm glad I was able to obtain a refund too! xx
Tania, do you have a Coach outlet near you? We have one in Sydney at DFO, it’s a beautiful store,I have bought 2 bags from there one being denim Jacquard print similar to yours xxx love it xx.
Wow, there are some super scammers out there! I bought this bag for a friend from the boutique and unboxed it last year (I think). It was so hard to get, I’m surprised it was even at the outlets! Sorry you got scammed, good thing eBay has the authenticity policy!
Ebay is very good at standing behind buyers. I did not have the same experience with Mercari.
Love the vachetta leather!! Love denim bags!!🤗
Wow!! That is definitely a fake! I have the exact same bag and all the red flags you pointed are are definitely good points. Also, that bag comes in the old thick cotton dust bag that says 1941. I pulled out my chambray Riley and compared it to yours and yes, unfortunately you were sold a fake. Hope you get your money back!
Hi Claudia, yes I was lucky that ebay organised the refund. Definitely a fake!!
Hi Tania, yes, I've been scammed on ebay. It was a second hand LV Speedy bandoliere. It came as a top handle only, then, the date code referred to a made in Spain piece, but was stamped made in France. It was a super fake. I got all my money back from ebay, I had also used PayPal, so that was a back up, and then ebay cancelled the seller as a vendor. It was a horrible feeling. Now, what do I do with the fake bag? Haha. (I have a real Speedy now, from the boutique.) Love your channel.
Hi Wendy xxx thank you for sharing. Yes it's a terrible feeling. I felt sick when I realised... I still need to leave negative feedback, and ebay really should put a strike against them. It's so sad. I'm glad your situation was resolved too! Thnx for your support Wendy 🥰
so sorry this happened to you. Im the same way I check everything! you cant trust anyone. OMG That leather looks terrible. never seen that shinny glazing either. Ive never seen this style before either.
OMG that lining is awful! So plastic. That would've given me cause to look closer because the bag did actually look OK. I often think it's kind of funny how close these fakes are, while still getting something so wrong. Hahaha she wanted Coaching (geddit? 🙄) on why you thought it was fake! 😂 No love, not helping you out! 🤣 I'm so glad you got your money back, I hope you find a genuine one Tania, it's a really cute design 💙 xx
Totally G!!! She played this fake innocence, "Oh you;re the first person to tell me it's a fake. What makes you say it's not authentic?" At first I was going to say, but then decided not to, so that she doesn't hide those flaws better. IT was terrible. YOu're right, overall it actually looked "good". :-(
That is so sad that she sold you a fake! I bought a Loewe puzzle bag from a seller that used real photos and a Canadian address but it was a fake Loewe seller from China. PayPal refunded me (thankfully) as it was a ton of money to loose!
Absolutely!! I only trust the Japanese sellers now. I'm glad you had a positive outcome too!
Oh wow, I got scammed on a Coach bag a few months ago. It was a Basquiat Rogue. It wasn't leathery at all & felt so cheap. I instantly returned it & got a full refund. Of all the pre loved high end bags I've bought over the years (LV, Chanel, etc) & I get duped on a Coach bag!! You have to be so careful.
Omgosh me too!!!!!!!! I never expected that, but I guess there are sharks out there! 😡 So glad you got a refund!
yup me too on ebay
Yikes! The dust bag is a dead giveaway too. 1941’s don’t come in sateen dust bags. They’re a heavier cotton material.
Sorry that happened to you. I got scammed on eBay with a fake Louis Vuitton Victorine wallet. I did get my money back, but it was a hassle.
Ikr?! Terrible how some ppl think they can get away with passing off something of poor quality as the original. The dustbag was horrible, but that inside flap was atrocious!!!!! Glad you got your $$ back too!
What an awful circumstance. The seller should be ashamed of themselves and their "small business". So glad that you were fully refunded. The only reputable sites that I use are Poshmark and The real real. Thank you for the video! Cheers!
Thnx Lindsey! Your comment only just popped up now. They truly will receive their just deserves!
Wow, thank goodness you knew it was fake and were able to get a refund!!! Are you willing to share the Ebayer's name? So glad you didn't give her any details of how you knew it was fake, too!
Hey Kathy, yep the seller is LoveMaria and is based in Australia. So glad ebay supported my claim!! Thnx for commenting Kathy xx
I hope you left a review about this seller, we need to shut down the scammers. So very sorry this wrong happened to you!
Hello Connie! Oh I certainly did, and reported them. The seller's name no longer exists, but who knows if they're operating under a different name? 🤔
Thanks so much for watching xx
Oh yes Tania, as soon as you opened the bag up 🤦♀️, it’s looks like plastic inside!!! That’s just terrible 😞……… such a shame!!!!!!!! It’s such a cute bag too!!!!!!!!!
WOW! So glad you caught it was fake. Why do people scam others for their money. Sad. Tfs
Absolutely! So sad and totally unfair! Thank you for watching :-) xx
Hi there. I was just looking at 2 sellers on Ebay for the Coach Legacy Lily Black 65th Anniversary Satchel Shoulder Bag... Both had new bags with tags on them. Both had 100% good reviews. Just seemed scary to me, especially for the price. Would you mind sharing the name of that specific Ebayer? Wondering if it is one of the 2 I came across. Thank you. So glad you were refunded.
Hey there, the seller is based in Queensland Australia. Where was the one you looked at based?
Oh no!
the most common counterfeit goods on ebay are designer handbags and popular electronic goods, so most people know to avoid them and buy retail. Sometimes the sellers though don't know their item is fake. If it's ridiculously cheap or described as "unwanted gift" (yeah right pfft) those things are red flags.
Most definitely! Scary arena to navigate! Thnx for watching 🙂
I love your ring lol….do I remember where you bought it by chance 🤔🌸
Hi Stefanie, it's by an Australian brand called UbyKate. I love it. They have truly beautiful pieces xx
@@bitsnbags thank you so much! Gonna check them out 😊 also love your videos 🌸
At a consignment shop I frequent, they authenticate everything. When someone tries selling a fake, the fake gets turned into plant pots! Maybe you could do that with yours!
When you get sold a fake on Ebay, they have you send it back to the seller.
Coach outlet is a line of bags coach makes just for coach outlet. They have F in the number for factory inside the bag. Coach outlet bags don’t come with the dust bags. They sell very few if at all retail bags at their outlets. Their 1941 bags would never be at an outlet.
I knew they don't give dustbags. There were so many inconsistencies with this item, and I also knew they don't sell 1941 pieces at their outlets. However, I've watched some youtubers who've explained that they managed to score a 1941 piece at the outlet. I imagine those instances are few and far between!
Wow the detail on that fake would have fooled many xx
Especially if one is not familiar with 1941 quality!
I'm also curious what you spent in this knock off purse? I imagine eBay is going to work this out for you? Did you get refunded?
Hello there. I'd be hard pressed to remember what I paid for this bag. I'll have to go back and check my ebay history. And yes, Ebay was very good about it, they refunded me quickly. The seller did not argue, that's a sign to me that they knew what they were doing was wrong.
I was scammed by the same person. So glad you got your money back.
It's so crazy and sad, and maddening that scrupulous, uncaring ppl are out there!
Oh no! This is terrible. Hopefully ebay resolves this. And I wonder how the seller has 100% ratings on the platform!
Omg! I always say who is faking Coach???? So glad you got your money back!!! ❤️
You know, I thought the same thing!! But obviously they do! Yes, good outcome overall xx
I agree with Winnie…Coach bags are reasonably priced (compared to luxury brands) so why create fakes? Glad you got your money back. It was a really bad fake. I
Seems like there are a lot of fake furla bags out there too! I’ve noticed that leather bags aren’t as common in Asia due to the price (and many people buy cheap trendy vinyl bags as they’re more affordable)
What a terrible Fake, I am glad you picked it up so you could get your money back.
Thanks Ada, I was truly shocked!! xx
That's awful. I have been scammed on ebay too. Years ago, but still. Was it an australian seller?
Hey Paula, the seller is based in Qld, but I don't think English is their first language...
The 1941 dust bags aren’t not the “satin” material. They are a thicker cotton type bags.
Yes I know, so that was a dead giveaway!!!
Glad ur getting back ur money for that duped bag. Good luck.
Oh me too! Thanks for watching 🙂
Hi Tania, I wouldn't know how to authenticate a bag, but are you sure the red lining inside is leather? On film it looks plastic. It is a nice looking bag though. Sorry if you were duped😪
Hey Rose xxx It could be a really thin vinyl to be honest, or a thin cheap piece of leather. So thin, there was no padding at all. Like you, I'm glad it worked out. Thanks 🥰
So sorry this happened.
I would like you to share the seller of this purse since i also use eBay to purchase Authentic designer bags. I would like to steer clear of this eBay seller. ~ Could you share?
I'll check back and see if it's still in my buying history
Ok, just checked. I'd paid $310aud, the seller no longer exists now.
This may not be fake as much as bad quality. It’s only the vintage bags that are good quality. Their 1941 collection isn’t the same.
I hate scammers!!!
They give honest sellers a bad wrap 🤬🤬🤬
Completely!! It's getting trickier these days to buy and sell.
The Riley 22 top handle is available right now on the Coach outlet website for $148 and not as part of the "Reserve" collection. It may have the 1941 hangtag, but the outlet website does not advertise it as part of the 1941 collection which was only available at the retail level. It would seem odd to fake a bag with such a low price point. Have you considered that maybe it's just poor manufacturing by COACH and not a fake. The outlet bags in general are very poor quality compared to the retail pieces especially when it comes to quality of the materials. As for the erroneous tag that says "wallet", that is something I could see being done at an outlet store....not to deceive, but in error or laziness.
Thnx so much for your detailed comment. I know that Coach no longer labels their items as the 1941 or Original line, especially at the outlet. You could be right to some extent regarding the tag error, who knows. But the leather quality was definitely not to the standard I'm family with. That leather inside the flap was so thin, too shiny and there was no padding between the two layers of "leather" and the chambray. Too many issues for me. I've purchased from the outlet before and the quality is definitely better than this item.
Thnx so much for contributing to the conversation.
I see the Marlie on the outlet site. I don’t see the Riley. 😊
@@kristak1102 me too. I checked. I'm not sure if the Riley ever was an outlet bag?
@@bitsnbags Idk, but if it was they don’t remake the bag and change the quality. 😂
If you look on the front of the bag,the C's are not in a uniform pattern,they're cut off.also the leather inside the bag looks flimsy and plastic
Exactly. I mention all of that too. Thank you 😊
Wow that’s terrible, eBay has a good return policy so hoping they refund you and get the seller banned how much did you pay the bag ?
Thanks Lisa, yes my refund came through thankfully! The bag was initially $340, I reached out and made an offer and paid $325. Luckily it was returned to me xx
Definitely not a Coach bag, it screams REPLICA! That's terrible. I'm glad you got your money back.
Thanks Victoria!! Me too, so sad for others though :-(
😰😰😰 make sure you leave negative feedback xx
What a shame, it would have been a cute bag 💕
Agreed. One day I'll buy another one xx :-)
I could tell it was a “fake” as soon as you pulled it out of the bag. I hope you got your money back! That’s terrible and unacceptable!!
The liner of the bag might be what's called leatherette, which is made with a slurry of leather bits and some artificial material. Not real leather. I bought a pair of leatherette barrel chairs at an estate sale, and instantly hated them. I ended up selling them for less than what I paid and lost $100 in the deal, which was fine with me. Of course I told the buyer what they were and why I hated the chairs but she could not be discouraged.
I'd say you're right. Definitely not the 1941 Coach quality! I'm sorry you lost, it's a shame ppl are so ruthless! 😔
So sorry this happened to you! I got scammed on ebay and could not resolve it at all. I sold an authentic mulberry bag and the buyer claimed it was fake and sent it back to me. But what she returned to me was NOT the bag I sent to her. Ebay and PayPal forced me to refund her. So I was out money and stuck with a fake bag. Now if I sell a bag I take pictures first. I only really sell now to friends on IG or to Fashionphile. Never on ebay!
Oh my goodness! That’s terrible! So sorry that happened to you
I’m thinking of buying a Coach bag from EBay, is it possible if you could tell me the seller’s name please. ❤️❤️
Hi, I wouldn't recommend this seller though. Try the dedicated Coach fb groups?
when you buy it in the outlet it comes just like that
This one looked far worse than outlet bags though. It really was horrible!
I also thought EBay doesn’t allow returns of fakes because it just goes to another suspected person.
I've no idea on what their policy is regarding this. But I was able to return. I was given a refund, and I reported the seller.
curious how much did you pay for this?
Hi Becky, from memory I think I paid about $300aud. It was a while ago now.
Yes, energy-Japan sold me a fake LV Wallet; I worked with EBay for a refund. Took a while but came thru!!!
So glad it did Pat!! Such a horrible feeling! 😫
I've only been scammed just once in my life, but it wasn't on ebay, it was from Facebook. From what happened, I purchased a Beauty and the Beast themed loungefly backpack and all I received was a disposable grey colored face mask. I later realized it was someone out of state faking out a loungefly backpack sale, and as I saw it again pop up on Facebook, I've made a comment about my scammed story. Someone made a comment that the same thing happened to her about receiving the same mask as well.
That's just so disgusting isn't it!!
@@bitsnbags I know! It annoys me when some people are just so unkind & very unfair that way!!!!!!
This isn’t what people refer to as the original coach. It’s the vintage coach from the 70s, 80s and 90s. This is a new bag.
Agreed, definitely a new bag style, and unfortunately quite fake. Its feel and smell were wrong. That inner lining was terrible.
My reference to the originals line is what Coach is calling their 1941 range now.
Thnx so much for watching 🙂
You weren’t scammed by Ebay, you were scammed by a seller. Maybe the seller didn’t know.
I have bought a couple of fakes on Ebay. When they failed authentication, I was refunded by Ebay.
Thnx so much for commenting. I agree I wasn't scammed by ebay, I wasn't actually saying that. Ebay actually helped me by refunding me.
I'm sure the seller knew what they were doing.
That's too bad, sorry 😔 that happened to you
thnx bella, but at least it worked out! xx
@@bitsnbags that's great, your welcome 😊❤️
I did see this seller on eBay she has a lot of coach bags for sale at half price 🧐
Exactly. I got sucked in, but I'm glad I knew enough to pick it immediately! :-(
That is a REPLICA Coach Outlet item.
Yes, clearly it was a fake. That's why I reported it.
1941 tag always combines with the bag color not the handle 😂 and the hardware will never look cheap . The dust bag should said Coach 1941 not Coach New York. It’s Unbelievable the nerve they have 🤬 .
Absolutely agree! Thank you, I'd forgotten to mention that!!! I just knew immediately 🤬
Hi! Do you mind giving the Ebay seller’s name? I want to make sure I don’t buy from them, and besides, they don’t deserve protection.
Hello, from memory it was something like Just Maria. But I don't remember now...
I’m sorry this happened to you! The lengths that people go with the included receipts etc, to sell fake coach bags. Don’t even want to imagine how proficient and ruthless replica Chanel and Hermès sellers must be…
Oh can you imagine, they would definitely need to check everything! Those sellers would need to source high end replicas in order to develop a reputation as a seller!! Thnx for your support Lesley xx
That is without a doubt one of these worst examples of a phony coach bag. Plastic as all get out. Btw, PA is Pennsylvania.
Everyone if you want to purchase on eBay everything brand name just make sure the seller has put the real pictures of the item and details with a bright lighting.. some seller really professional taking real pictures with every detail but most of scammers they only taking pictures from google with no real pictures or the real pictures they put so blurred.. be aware
Very true! This seller had both types of pictures. Luckily I got my money back!
The inside of the bag shocked me. It’s awful. The bag is something other then Coach
Oh for sure!! Truly a disgrace!
I know what ur saying i have coach bag.
Coach bags are excellent bags. You can tell a mile away it is a fake. Sorry, you were scammed.
Totally agree Susan! It's so sad that there are ppl out there doing this 😔
Sorry you was scammed very fake you should return the bag get real Coach thank you for sharing
Thank you. Yes I definitely returned it, I posted this video after I had been refunded.
You can tell it’s a fake the moment you took the wrapping off !
Very true!!
yup me too, coach rogue 25 the artist rendition.. fake fake fake, i reported to ebay!
It's crazy out there!!! 🙁
Oh no that’s a very bad fake coach. I can tell right away it’s a fake by looking the exterior quality.
Absolutely terrible isn't it! 😳
OMG inside of the bag looks horrible!!
Definitely!!! As soon as I opened it I thought wtf??!!
@@bitsnbags yeah that’s too obvious! I would scream if I saw that
I was definitely speechless. So glad I could get a refund!
Watch out FAKE Coach dog
tags (plastic and non-Coach
chains) and FAKE braeletts.
Definitely! Thnx 😊
The Coach outlet bags are made with much cheaper quality materials.
Yeah as soon as you pulled it out I could tell it was fake. The hardware is too bright.
Yes, the leather seemed a little off at first, then when I saw that inner leather, I freaked out! Thnx for watching 🙂
That’s definitely a fake, so many red flags. Also the switch around with the wallet tags, and receipt, definitely trying sell a fake. Probably scammed A lot of people with that feedback.
Completely agree!!! Lesson learned!
damn I'm sorry but that is a really really good fake.
Very much so!
Wow, that's terrible, and to put a wallet tag on it, plus everything else that's wrong with it! Woman should be banned from selling! Really crappy done fake!
You're absolutely right Nance. It's appalling!
I honestly trust eBay for nothing. I have been sold used and dirty items listed as new from sellers with good reviews four times… I will NEVER use eBay again.
I actually had a bad experience with Mercari recently as well. The audacity of sellers to scrap people and say items are new and picture unopened items and sell clearly opened/used items that say things like “tester” or “display” once they’re received is disgusting.
I hear you and I have been burned a few times, but I've also had some luck. It's definitely tricky to navigate! I agree, Why do these ppl have to be so unscrupulous? Just be honest...
That is terrible. Can you please give me the name of the seller on eBay as I order from them quite often.
Hi Mary, it really is terrible. Who do you order from?
@@bitsnbags various sellers. I would appreciate knowing the one that scammed you so I won’t make the same mistake.
You get what you pay for.
Not always as simple as that...
