This is a quick guide to why you may not want to use My Poupette for your bag authentications. My Poupette is a third party service, that attempts to authenticate handbags for those on eBay. For many buyers, it is considered an extra layer of security, but what buyers forget is that scammers can get over them or any other authenication service anytime! Many sellers will send them real pictures of bags and then sell the buyer a fake. It happens a lot more than you think. Any seller can picture a real bag and mail you a fake, it is so simple and it happens more than you think. Now you as the buyer do not trust My Poupette and their name is soured. It isn't really an authentication, it is more of an opinion. Also, many sellers are not aware that by using the link to my poupette for handbag confirmation, is an eBay violation. This is a links violation. eBay does not allow links to 3rd party sites where you can see pricing, auction off or sell handbags. While a link to a 3rd party site to further describe an item is allowed, it has to be a site that does not offer for sale or auction. If you see a bag with the link to mypoupette's site embedded in the listing, and you report it, eBay will always take it down. Ask trust and safety if you want a direct answer, they'll tell you the same thing. So be careful and always buy bags with paypal or a credit card for protection. Only deal with sellers that have a consistent positive feedback following for selling authentic bags.
