The U.S. Post office requires me to show a “receipt” and additional paperwork on any items marked as gift and it is Mail Fraud, against the law & against eBay policy to do so.

If Shipped Express International Insured you also agree to release me of any liability& agree to not file an "item not rec'd" or any claim w/eBay & PayPal as long as the USPS.COM website shows your item with your tracking # has arrived abroad &/or into your Customs.

Some Tips for a Safe Buying Experience on Ebay when shopping for Coach
Every item I sell has been selected & purchased by me & I guarantee authenticity or you receive a full refund. I maintain personal receipts for my personal records.I take my responsibilities seriously and put forth great effort to offer only authentic to the designer-buying world.
For a Fun & Safe Experience with regard to buying Designer Labels on eBay, I have just a few examples of things to look for when viewing Auction Photos on some RED FLAGS w/regard to Counterfiet/Replica Coach Items. Below photos are just some Tips to consider when buying Coach on eBay.
REPLICA LARGE CARLY 10620
Note the Contrast Stiching is BRIGHT WHITE. While Coach does Contrast Stitching, it is never a BRIGHT SNOW WHITE on these Chocolate Brown Carly Bags.
Also, Note the "Square Shape". Authentic Coach Carly Tapers off at the Bottom, they are NOT Square.
This REPLICA Carly has the Typical REPLICA Carly Handle. It is Longer and Skinnier in Width. It is not THICK Leather. This one is a Thin Pleather as most Replica's are. This is a 10620 Replica, the LARGE Carly.
>
The Authentic Chocolate Brown Large Carly is in the photo on the left. The Replica is on the right. Only the Chocolate Brown are authentic. The Counterfeit makers often make the very popular and highly counterfieted Carly's in a different shade of brown. Both large 10620 and the Medium 10619 are shown for you for color comparisons. The AUTH Chocolate Carly is Dark Brown Chocolate on Dark Brown Chocolate.
These are the Medium 10619 Carlys. Authentic one is on the right, Replica is on left. Same thing here, the color is off on the replica. It is NOT Dark Brown Choclate on Dark Brown Chocolate as the authentic one on the right is. Also notice the Carly Handle Shape, Color & Stiching.
REPLICA AUTHENTIC
.
All the rest of these photo below are REPLICAS.
Coach Carly’s do NOT have Insignia on the front as this Replica has below. Coach NEVER Wraps their Straps in plastic only foam. This Replica below also has the Signature lining (Signature Bags never has signature lining...ever. It is the wrong shape and size & look at how shoddy the creed is. This replica also comes with the "known" Replica White Dustbag.
Coach NEVER made a Black Coach Op Art Carly either. Please look at the Creed Patch on the Black Op Art Replica. It is the wrong size and very sloppy. Coach pays great attention to detail on their Creed patches. They are Flat & very Neatly Stamped. The stitching on the Creed Patches themselves are done very Exquisitely, never shoddy & usually have a contrasting color that is not a bright white or dark black. Usually it would be an off white contrast or dark grey depending on the SOLID interioir of the Carly.
This Replica Carly has the "no such thing as" Insignia on the front, Signature Lining (again Coach never does Signature Lining in Signature Bags). PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THESE BAGS - I AM SEEING A LOT OF THEM ON EBAY!
This Replica bag below also has the shoddy white stitching, signature lining & the bottom of bag is not perfectly aligned C’s (one C is cut in 1/2) & the stitching is misplaced.Just because a Replica Bag has Coach tags means NOTHING. The Fonts on replica tags are very often not the Coach Fonts and where the style number and colors are placed on an authentic Coach Tag are usually misplaced on the Replica Tag. Many people will claim, “But I have a receipt.”That means nothing. The only time a receipt is valid is if it is a watermarked receipt or gift reciept from Coach or an authorized Dealer of Coach. If the Counterfeit makers create Counterfeit bags, rest assured they also make Counterfeit Tags as well. This Replica also sometimes comes with the Replica White low quality Dustbag. Coach does not make white Coach bags as shown in this first photo with a cheap stiff like Weave. Coach Dustbags are Satiny or the 100% very soft cotton.
On this Replica below, look at the hangtag. It is the wrong shape & wrong size. Coach hangtags are consistent in quality & size per style of the Bag. This is a Replica/Fake Coach Carly Hangtag. This is a color way Coach never made, also it too has the embossed hardware w/Coach on it. The signature lining & the bright white stitching; Coach doesn’t use SNOW WHITE Sloppy stitching. Look at the creed, it is sloppy too.
One very obvious sign of a fake is the signature lining in signature bags. If nothing else, rest assured it IS a Replica if there is signature lining in a Signature Bag. Coach has never done that. Again, like this Replica below, the Coach embossed on the hardware where it isn’t supposed to be is a sure sign it's fake. Usually Coach will emboss the snaps or sometimes very small Coach Embossments on hardware but almost never really big like this Replica. Look at the side of this purse below with the Coach Embossed Hardware. Coach does not do that.
Another big white Fake Coach Dust Bags like this too are typically indicitive the purse will be a replica. While Coach makes white Coach dust bags, they are always high quality Satin with pull strings or the High Quality Brown Cotton Cloth with red pull stringsand have the Coach Logo in the corner with correct Coach Fonts.This Coach Carly Replica is the wrong size and very shoddy stitching. Look at the Creed. Coach Creeds are nicely sewn on and not sloppy, you can always read the Creed. This one you can’t even read it, it is stamped in & very sloppy in the Creed Patch and the stitching around the creed is bad. Authentic Coach Carly’s never came with Metal hangtags, always leather. While some Coach purses do come w/metal hangtags, usually there are 2 or 3 and they are mixed in with a leather one or a gold one, not just ONE metal one.
FOR BUYERS
Check feedback and check how long the seller has been a seller. Ask questions!
Check the Seller's Reputation ~ Only buy from “Trusted & Reputable” Sellers.
Look for sellers with long histories of successful transactions who have a number of positive comments from other buyers. It doesn’t make sense for a Seller that has been selling for years and accumulated & high amount of positive feedback to ruin it all by being deceitful.Please remember that Sellers with High Positive Feedback worked hard to get there & continue to do so. For many, it has taken years to build their feedback up that high.It is highly unlikely any reputable Seller would be willing to “risk it all” by knowingly selling a Counterfeit or Replica although it still could inadvertently happen.
Be suspicious of deals that seem too good to be true. They usually are.
Use extra care in placing orders with new sellers.
Be suspicious of sellers offering very low prices for hard to find items who seem to have a large number of these same products.
Ask Before You Buy ~ Many Fraudulent Sellers don’t like to “engage” in a conversation or answer your questions.Be wary of Sellers who do not respond to your emails or are very vague in their responses.Sellers with nothing to hide are generally more than happy to provide you with detailed information & answer all of your questions.
Does the seller have any feedback? If he/she does not, this is where you run your greatest risk, as this is an unproven entity. Exercise caution.
Does the seller offer multiples of the same and/or NEW item at a low price? If so, very often, the merchandise is counterfeit, especially if it is a 0 Feedback or Very Low Feedback Seller.
Only buy from Sellers that Guarantee Authenticity or a full Refund.Don’t just ask for it in an email, request it be in the auction if it is not.
Use Extra Caution with High Value and Popular Items
Certain types of items carry a higher fraud risk and require additional checking before completing the sale. Do additional checking, especially with popular items that tend to be sold out in stores.
KNOW your product & do your homework so you know exactly what the item you are looking for has the Authenticity Characteristics you can Identify.For example, Coach NEVER has Signature Interior Lining on their Signature Bag Line.Often, Replicas have COACH embossed on Hardware where it is NOT supposed to be Embossed.All Coach Bags have very high quality thick Interior with detailed stitching.If the lining is thin & the seams are shoddy, it isn’t Coach.The Hardware on Coach Bags is another significant Feature to look for on Counterfeits.Many Replicas will have bright shiny Brass Hardware that is simply a “coating” & will peel.All Coach Hardware is infused and will never peel. The Counterfeit makers today are also using YKK Zippers. Just because a Coach bag has a YKK zipper does not mean in any way or prove it is authentic. I have jeans with YKK Zippers.
Do NOT buy from sellers that only use Stock Photos. You very well may receive an item that is grossly different than the actual item represented.Look for sellers that take many photos and different angles of the Item being Represented & find out if this is the item you will receive.
AS A SELLER
I work very hard on my Listings to “Earn Your Confidence”.I take my own photos & write my own descriptions.I DO NOT lift Photos or Descriptions from other people’s auctions or even websites such as Coach.I also offer 100% authenticity guaranteed or your money backI work very hard to “EARN” the trust from my Buyers.
I take great Pride & Care in my listings to further demonstrate authenticity and to set myself apart from counterfeit “Fly by Night” Sellers.I have been selling on eBay since 2003.I do this so Buyers are very clear on exactly what to expect from me and if Buyers still have questions, I am always willing and able to answer in even greater detail if need be.
When you receive your Coach Bag, look at the size of the Zipper Head to see if YKK is embossed. Some Replica Manufacturers cut corners and do not use the High Quality YKK Zip Heads that Coach does. However if it DOES have YKK Zipper it does not mean it IS authentic as now many Replicas now have YKK Zippers. If it does NOT have YKK, you can probably assume it is a Replica.
The research is entirely up to you and you have to do your own homework.Here are some useful Links found on eBay Neighborhood Guides.I did not write these, but you may find these useful.
Tips for buying a REAL Coach Purse or Bag on eBay!!
Generally people who knowingly selling Replicas are very vague in the emails respones back to you or will not respond at all. Very typical of low feedback Sellers selling w/only Stock Photos. Sometimes an Honest Seller will unknowing list a Replica. Before you leave negative feedback, contact the Seller & advise them you rec'd a Replica. If they are an honest seller, they will more than likely refund you and humbly take the item back, no questions asked. Not all Sellers that have sold a replica do so knowingly. It is the "intent to sell" Replicas eBayers that are the unscruplous individuals and there are many of them. Communication is the key. An honest seller will respond to your concerns and make it right. A dishonest seller will not answer or ignore your emails or be vague & that is when you need to file a claim w/eBay or PayPal.
