How do you know if that beautiful Chanel bag on eBay is the real deal?  There are lots of shysters out there and Chanel is popular.  Chanel knock offs are a dime a dozen.  Whether you’re looking for a Chanel purse, Chanel make-up or perfume, a pair of Chanel sunglasses, shoes or a beautiful Chanel belt, here’s a guide to buying Chanel on eBay.

Buy Chanel with Confidence 

Know Your Chanel Products

• Read item details carefully when looking for Chanel products.
• Make sure the Chanel product actually exists!  Visit Chanel’s official site and check Chanel products, descriptions and details carefully.  Make sure the Chanel product on eBay is identical. 
• A new Chanel bag that retails for $1000.00 but is being sold on eBay for $50.00 is probably a fake. 
• Make sure you’re buying an ‘authentic’ Chanel product.  Don’t buy if the Chanel seller doesn’t mention authenticity. 
• Pictures posted on eBay shouldn’t be stock Chanel photos.  Pictures should be of the actual Chanel product itself.
• Figure delivery costs into your Chanel product’s final price. If you’re spending a lot on your Chanel the seller should insure it when it ships.
• Ask for information about the Chanel being sold by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.
• Always complete your Chanel transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). If you buy your Chanel product outside of eBay it won’t be covered by eBay protection programs.
• Never pay for your Chanel product using instant cash wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram.

Know Your Chanel Seller

• Research your Chanel seller so you feel positive and secure.
• Check the Chanel seller's Feedback rating. How many Chanel transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses on Chanel purchases do they have?
• What do buyers of Chanel say in their Feedback? Did the Chanel seller receive praise?
• Most top eBay sellers have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee on your Chanel purchase? What are their terms and conditions for buying Chanel?

Buyer Protection

• ebay and PayPal are there for you if a problem arises while purchasing your Chanel products.
• When you buy Chanel through PayPal, the seller never sees your bank account or credit card numbers.  PayPal protects buyers 100% against unauthorized payments. PayPal Buyer Protection covers your Chanel purchase for up to $1,000.
• eBay Security & Resolution Center: Visit the Security & Resolution Center to learn how to protect your account and use eBay's quick and efficient resolution tools.

Find Chanel on eBay

Once you know the Chanel Product you want, start searching under the eBay clothing, shoes & accessories category.

• Categories: The primary Categories list gives links to related listings. For example, if you search clothing, shoes & accessories, you'll find links to Sunglasses, Belts, Wallets, Handbags and other categories.  Here you can find your Chanel product.  There are also subcategory lists.
• Product Finder: The drop-down menus on a Product Finder allow you to search listings based on specific criteria.
• Keyword search: Search eBay listing titles for specific words. For example, if you want a Chanel purse, type "Chanel purse" (without quotation marks) into the Search box. Click "Search title and description" to expand your results. eBay also has a  Search Tips page to help you choose keywords.
• Try shopping eBay Stores for Chanel if you can’t find what you want.  You can also create a post for Chanel on Want It Now, or save a search on My eBay.  eBay will email you when a match is made.

Whatever Chanel you choose, however you choose to buy it, Chanel is quality merchandise.  Get the Chanel you want and enjoy!
