As a powerseller of designer handbags with 100% positive feedback I would like to share a few tips with ebayers on how to avoid ending up with a fake bag.

The amount of fake bags on ebay saddens me greatly & the fact that they are being palmed off as authentic in many cases is downright criminal. The number of people who email me saying they have been caught out & have paid huge money for a fake is appalling. I understand that not everyone can afford to buy the real thing but please understand that you will not buy a designer bag for much less than the retail price. If it sounds too good to be true it is!!!! I mean seriously does anyone think that a seller will pay  £750 - £1500 for a bag then go on ebay to sell for £100 or even £400? This does not make any kind of sense! So the main thing is do not be fooled by cheap prices you cannot get a real bag for less than retail unless the bag has been used, even then it will rarely sell so cheap, particularly if it is rare! Use your common sense & if in doubt email me I will be glad to help.

Sometimes photographs of authentic bags are used to sell fakes so please always buy from a recognised seller with 100% positive feedback & read the comments carefully.

Get to know your bags, find out the colours that the bag is produced in & do not be fooled by bags in colours that were never made!! Pink would be lovely in the Chloe Paddington but sorry Chloe have yet to make a pink paddington or a yellow, lime green or purple! Look closely at the photographs that the honest sellers show, visit your nearest designer stockist if possible & become familiar with the bags then you can learn to spot a fake all by yourself.

Don't be fooled by advertisements for fake bags that say "receipt included". Receipts can now be bought on the internet, bogus sellers have emailed me offering me receipts for $5 for any bag, any boutique in the world!! They presume everyone is as dishonest as they are!!!

Most importantly if you have been caught with a fake bag don't just cry over your lost money, do something about it! If you have the sellers adress report them to the authorities, selling counterfeit goods is illegal! Contact ebay & paypal, make them listen, leave bad feedback for the seller & warn others to beware!! Report any listings that you know to be fake & have them taken down. Ebay needs to be cleaned up of fake designer goods so that people may cease to be afraid of being conned by these people & may buy in confidence from honest sellers like myself.

Good luck, I hope this has been of some help & please visit my ebay auctions & my ebay shop where you can be sure of getting an authentic item & friendly & efficient service.

God luck & stay safe on ebay!
