Hi - I'm Laura from Florida and am so glad to have found these forum pages. I'm currently in the process of disputing a purchase I made on eBay last week - and boy, based on the pic I was a big 'ole sucker!!! But I'm learning so much reading these pages.
Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge!!!!!!

Enjoy

Welcome! If your purchase was recent, list it here and we can report it. It might help your dispute.

the auction was removed from ebay last thursday evening. I saved a copy of the auction and picture to my computer. how do I post for you to view?

Welcome Laura! Hopefully, you'll never be scammed again!

let's try again- this was her pic from the auction - i have not opened the package to verify it's contents, but she just threw it in a priority mail envelope, no padding or tissue of any type.

Sorry! Very Fake! File your dispute. First ask for a refund and don't let the seller hold your feedback hostage. Tell her the item is fake and has been verified. Tell her you want a full refund or you will file a dispute with Ebay and PayPal, and then do it. Good luck!

now what do I do with this hunk of #$% - I waiting on AMEX to tell me what they me to do. I'm not sending it back to her so that another FAKE is still in circulation.

Laura. I'm sorry you ended up with a horrid fake. Odds are excellent you will get your money back one way or another.

The bag should be destroyed IMO.

IMO??? I'm not fluid on all the lingo yet

Oops...sorry...

IMO = In My Opinion

Welcome, Laura!

Welcome and hope you get your money back.

After reading these forum pages and how Coach is treating customers - I think my opinion of Coach is changing.

I went to the outlet store just the other night, hoping I might find something that resembled my ugly bag (of course, I didn't), and the ladies there couldn't have been nicer. They were sympathetic and didn't make me feel bad for buying a bag on eBay. The Mgr. did explain about Coach's policies on online selling.
And I did get a really good deal on a skinny mini. (They had just gotten some in from the mall store and they were an additional 20 off.)

But hearing about the letters and how they handle them - SCARY!!

Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge

Although I no longer buy Coach items I will say the SAs at the full-retail shops and the outlets I've been to in the past have some very, very nice people working there.
