Coach purse- Ebay

[Lil Lil]

Help ebay users. Need your advice. I'm very tempted to purchase a coach purse thru ebay. Do you think it's safe. I don't want to purchase a fake? Any advice? Has anyone had any luck purchasing a "real" designer purse on ebay? You just can't beat the price.

post a link, we'll help you decide if it's fake or not. Some real purses are sold on Ebay too.

and it was real. It was a great buy and I saved a ton of money. The seller just happened to live near a Coach outlet and got great deals. As of 6 months ago we now have a Coach store at our outlet mall about a hour away from us.

It was very tempting when I took the kids back to school shopping.......but I was strong

Please be careful, for every real one there is probably 100 fakes, and sometimes the sellers honestly don't know.

I would check the persons feedback. Like said previously, there are fakes, but there are also real Coach and other designers as well. I worked 10+ years (had to quit because the mall got rough) for Coach so have quite a lot of bags I no longer carry (and many new ones). I have been putting them on ebay at reasonable prices and having good luck. So, I would just check the persons feedback, look at the bag good (maybe even request additional pictures) and go with you gut feeling!

I just recently was looking for a Coach purse and had the same dilema. I ended up purchasing mine locally at a department store, b/c I knew how upset I would be if I bought a fake.
I was very glad I ended up going that route; when I went to the Coach store in our mall and asked about the fabric I was interested in ,I found it doesn't even come in some of the styles that were listed on eBay. :O Namely, the style I really liked! She let me look throught the book and said I could special order anything they had, and it wasn't there. I asked if it had come in that style and she told me no.
I guess my point woud be, go in with a lot of knowledge. Go to a local retailer and look at the purse you want and get a good idea of what it looks like, etc - then compare. And of course check feedback!!
Good luck!

I agree with all the previous posts.

I just have to say that I have purchased several Coach purses on Ebay - from brand new with tags to gently used. I LOVE them. It seems a lot of people live near the Coach outlet stores and take advantage of that to sell the items on Ebay. I feel like I have got some great deals.

I was told by the sellers they are Coach & I believe they are real Coach because I like nice things and I am picky about details. Maybe I am naive??? The leather/suede, zippers, hardware, stitching, and more have been very very nice on the bags I have purchased. I am not sure, but would a fake would be THAT great of quality??? Maybe the fakes have improved, but Coach has such high quality standards that wouldn't it be fairly easy to tell a fake??? Just curious about that! Maybe I have been getting ripped off!! I do really LOVE the ones I have purchased and get tons of compliments on them.

Good luck,

You definitely have to be careful. I just sold an authentic Dooney purse on ebay and was very happy to answer all the questions I received from potential bidders. I even offered a refund policy, so if the buyer wanted to return it they could in 7 days. Ask the seller if there is a serial number on the bag and if it has been registered. Also, ask about a return policy.

I bought a pretty little navy leather Aigner bag a few weeks ago on Ebay and I LOVE it. It was $19.00 including the shipping. It was like brand new (slightly used). Very pleased with it.

Be very careful, there are a lot of fake bags on Ebay. The last three bags I purchased were all fakes. Make sure any bags you buy are guaranteed to be authentic and that the people take Paypal. I filed a complaint with Paypal and got all my money back even the shipping.

I would recommend checking their feedback! I have sold real purses... sometimes you get them for gifts and they aren't your style!

good luck- jen

Thanks everyone. You've been great help. I may post the number on here and have you all look at the picture to see it it's fake.
