Hello, I have been an ebay user for about 3 or 4 years. I have been in to Coach products much longer. I want to give you some tips on how to know if you are bidding on AUTHENIC COACH PRODUCTS.

1. ALWAYS CHECK FEEDBACK. I can not say this enough. I check feedback for everything I bid and sell to people for. It helps to know the type of person you are dealing with. A feedback score and what others have written says a lot. Also, if there is a negative or neutral left for them check why it was left. Also, look at that persons feedback. Some people leave inappropriate feedback just as either retaliation or being not honest to swing things in there favor. Believe me I know.

2. Make sure there pictures are there own and legit. Some people do use pictures of the Coach website. And sometimes that is fine. There are a few sellers that only do that but there feedback is amazing and there items are authentic. Ask them if you can see pictures of actual item. Most people do have them or can take them. If the item picture you have never seen from Coach or it various a bit. It is probably fake. I would not buy it.

3. See if the seller has a receipt. This can help to verify it is authentic. It is not a guarantee but it helps. Check the name on the receipt. Is it the sellers? If it is then you are probably safe.

4. If you do buy an item of ebay, take it to a Coach Store and have them verify. But do not surrender the product to them if it is a fake. They may ask but don't. I have had this happen to me. I have leared from my own mistake.

5. If it comes with dust bags or card card that is great. But if they are not BROWN/RED for purses and WHITE/RED for small key chains and wallets. And boxes are the same colors but can be either. If they are anything else then not authentic. Unfortanitly people are selling the real deal on ebay and then fake items are being sold with them. And the card cards are brown, red and white. Any one that is MULTI RAINBOW COLORS ARE FAKES. Do not be fooled by these sellers. One seller does this then verifies by saying my items are guaranted authentic. Yeah, right. ALL SO CARE CARDS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO ANY BAG!!!

6. Coach items on there zippers say YKK, not ZYY or KYY. I have seen these. All Coach buttons and random metal usually all say Coach on them. This is part of what makes there items COACH QUALITY!!! However not all metal will but most will.

7. Small purses, wristles and wallets do not have serial numbers. And with the small purses it various. I think there is an actual size were it stops but I have yet to figure it out.

8. Make sure you are not being sold a Coach purse or item that costs you $1 it is highly unlikly that is real. Nothing from Coach is ever that cheap... Nothing from Coach is Cheap!!! Even from the outlet you can maybe get a purse for $80.00 on a great sale. That is about it. I think maybe even $50 is a little unreasonable to think it is real unless it is a used item.

9. Almoat all Coach handbags come with one or more hang tag. But not every item.

10. Coach outlet items come with a bulls eye on the serial number plate. But some fake sellers have managed to reproduce. But not very well. Remember that on the serial number plate that all the writing is in the same type, it does not have mistakes, extra spaces, sloppy, light spots, it is all the same depth and lettering. Also, on the signature strip and a few other bags the writing is in gold and cursouf. Also watch for sellers who have an "X" on the serial tag. Also Coach bags due not have plastic on handles, etc. But from the online store due come in plastic bags for protection during shipping, they also will sometime have boxes over items. Like the straw bags have over the flowers.

11. REPOST ALL COUNTERFIT ITEMS TO EBAY AND TO COACH!!!

12. KNOW YOUR LININGS!!! All bags TYPE, MODEL, STYLE, NAME, ETC!!! They all have different linings. For example Leather Bleecker bags have one lining while Signiture Bleecker bags have another. Do you know what they are.

13. BE SAFE ON EBAY!!!
