 FENDI SPY BAGS: 

 HOW TO SPOT A FAKE REPLICA COUNTERFEIT FENDI SPY BAG BAGS!

The majority of designer Fendi Spy Bags on Ebay are counterfeit and being sold as authentic, even by some Power Sellers. Here are just some of the signs of counterfeit Fendi Spy Bags:

(NOTE> if there is any designer bag auctions in the far right column, they are put there by ebay, not me. Ebay just picks up on keywords in peoples guides and it puts sellers auctions in the right hand column automatically)

1. Yellow Fendi hang tag are only on replicas

2. Cheap clear plastic on the handles are only on replicas

3. Fendi leather is very bubbly looking and creavesed on most Fendi Spy Bags  (those can be copied too so be careful)

4. If the white card with the serial number on it is blurry and non-readable in the seller's photos...RED FLAG!  (this doesn't mean its not real but you need to check it out before bidding)

5. If there is a photo of the serial number embossed on the leather inside and you can't make it out in the photos it either means the seller has a bad camera or they are hiding something....RED FLAG! email the seller and get the 'full' number and try to get it checked out  (this doesn't mean its not real but you need to check it out before bidding)

6. No serial number in the listing description....RED FLAG! email the seller for it. If they don't give it, don't bid  (this doesn't mean its not real but you need to check it out before bidding)

7. Bid price starts at just a couple hundred dollars with no high reserve on a brand new Fendi Spy Bag that normally cost about $1900...HUGE RED FLAG!!

8. Uneven seams where it is sewn

9. Fake receipts that look legitimate that comes with the Fendi handbag with a low starting price and no reserve

10. Sellers who have a store full of them in the same style starting at a couple  hundred dollars....please!

11. Sellers who refuse to give you the serial number for some story like "I can't give it out because of counterfeiters who copy them, am sorry". Baloney! They know they are selling fake bags and they don't want you to find out. Don't bid !!

12. Last but not  least, I have the name of a dot com that is for 'information only' that tells all on counterfeit Fendi bags, Prada, Juicy, and more. It has photos and everything on what to look out for. Just email me and I will give you the address. We are not allowed to put the addresses in our guides. The website does not authenticate handbags.

FENDI DOES NOT SELL 'WHOLESALE' TO THE PUBLIC FOR RE-SALE.....EVER!!

*********************************

MORE VALUABLE INFO:

Brand new Fendi Bags cannot be bought by the public wholesale, at flea markets, street vendors, gray market, and the like. The public can only buy Fendi Bags at a store and on a website that is authorized to sell them,  such as Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Eluxury, etc... which also put their bags on sale sometimes. You can also find authentic ones new and used at designer outlet stores for great prices if your lucky to have one nearby. If your super lucky, you may find one at a Goodwill that someone donated.

If the ebay seller gives you a really good reason why the Fendi Spy bag is starting at such a ridiculously low bid price, the story is a bunch of tall tales usually, but not all the time. Fendi Spy Bags sell for $1800 on up. NO WAY can a seller sell one for $200 brand new with tags with no reserve unless it was given to them as a gift and they didn't like it, but that is almost unheard of. They would be losing hundreds of dollars if it was real and selling for that low of a price. The ultra low starting bid price alone is a major RED FLAG when there is no reserve. Even if it has a reserve, does not mean it is authentic. That of course is not new news as most seasoned buyers of authentic bags know that first hand.  Again, Fendi does not sell wholesale to the general public to sell on ebay.

 HOW TO GET A REFUND IF YOU RECEIVED A FAKE DESIGNER HANDBAG:

IF YOU USED A CREDIT CARD THROUGH PAYPAL then call your credit card company immediately and do what is called a 'chargeback'. Tell the person on the phone that you need to talk to someone in the 'FRAUD' department. Then tell that person how you need your money back into your account on a counterfeit item you just received and what you need to do. You have an excellent chance to get your refund, and  your credit card company deals with Paypal for you. You can go into the Paypal "Help" section and type in 'chargeback' and read all about it what it is. Remember, call your credit card company (the 1-800 number is on the back of your card) and tell them to transfer you to the fraud department then go from there.

IF YOU USED YOUR EXISTING PAYPAL FUNDS to pay for your item then you have 45 days from the date the auction ended to do a dispute through Paypal for 'item not as described'. You sign in, go up to the top of the home page and click 'Resolution Center' and go from there. Be very very detailed in your complaint. Make sure you give them the seller's ID name and the auction number. It takes about 30 or more days to get the final answer on the refund. Usually, Paypal requires that you send "proof" that it is counterfeit by getting a store clerk that sells them to sign a letter saying your bag is indeed counterfeit. Then you fax it to Paypal. Without that, you may not be refunded.

IF YOU SENT A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER to pay the seller, then you may or may not get a refund from the seller. There is not much you can do if you sent your payment this way. Paying for high dollar items this way is very risky only because if you want a refund, the seller can refuse and there is nothing you can do about it except take them to court if you have the money to do it.
