GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC HANDBAG SELLERS
We have spent years looking at eBay auctions for shoppers, free of charge and with much research. Here are some tips for when deciding to purchase a handbag on eBay:
Carefully read the sellers feedback and return policy.
Never purchase anything from anyone who does not have a return policy REGARDLESS of their credentials.
Just because someone is a "Recommended Seller, Power Seller or has been on for years, from our experience does not PROMISE anything. Those things help but are not definitive of the best sellers to frequent.
There are several reasons that someone may not make it onto our list including price. Ebay auctions are supposed to be discounted, some sellers have prices near retail and quite honestly there are websites selling authentic items at better prices.
We have over the past several years found powersellers and "recommended" sellers with just way too many BRAND NEW current Chanel and Louis Vuitton items. We are not going to say the items are not authentic, we just cannot figure out where someone would have access to that many of the highest end handbags brand new. Unfortunately we just are not comfortable recommending those sellers without purchasing any of their items.
The best sellers sell authentic items, ship quickly, are not rude, have reasonable shipping fees and accept returns.
Ebays rules demand that designer handbag sellers offer a return policy, many people are not aware of this. Just because someone is a powerseller does not mean they may are knowledgable of a particular item. An example of something like this occurring is an "I sold it" seller who sold a Hermes handbag to a customer that was not authentic. Sure the seller has great feedback & customer service but how much do you think they know about Hermes Birkin bags? Hermes does not even authenticate their items and the bag would need to be looked at by a specialist in Hermes, such as Couture Deluxe. We do not at all think that this seller purposefully listed a non-authentic item, but this is an example of how something like this can occur.
The most fakes we are seeing right now on eBay are Gucci items. The most popular being the large monogram horsebit hobo. Please refer to our Gucci page for the most current Gucci authentication information as it pertains to these very popular and highly replicated handbags. Kooba comes in a close second with shoppers just not having enough knowledge of this newer brand. Kooba bags are more middle of the road and do not cross the path of eBay Vero such as would a Gucci, Chanel or especially a Louis Vuitton handbag. A few years ago VERO put the hammer down on fake Coach handbags, it seems to be time for Kooba.
Balenciaga handbags are one of our specialties and so much fun to look at. Email us an item number and we will help free of charge.
