i was wondering the same thing..

how can it still be 100%?

i thought it was just me needing to clear my cache... but if you are all seeing 1oo% too there is something wrong.

Her positive feedback is still listed as 100% though...

Thats ebay for you. The selllers can do no wrong and if they do lets give them the opttion to hide because if people knew they were buying from a scammer they might reconsider.

It has been changed now. It is down to 92%... and I posted on an eBay forum and got jumped all over by sellers who thought I was wrong to neg the seller cause she gave my money back. I think it was right... cause she will list more and get more suckers (like me) who believe her auctions.

oh well.

Just out of curiosity...

How do you know they were fakes?

No knowledge in this area at all, hence asking from a void, here. (FWIW, I only buy/sell boardgames and PC games and hardware on eBay. Kinda hard to 'fake' that - and there really ain't crap of a market enough for it, anyway.)

on the inside of the ...hmm.. the part that goes on your ear... it should be stamped COACH. it was stamped MADE IN CHINA. They were very light, and the plastic was bendy. The CC's were faded in two areas. the part where the hinges are were made of the lightest cheapest metal that would have snapped after the third use, if they lasted that long.

I have about 16 COACH handbags, 2 watches, 7 wristlets, 9 wallets and 5 pairs of shoes/sandals and about a dozen or so keychains etc. I am not an expert, butknow a fake when I am holding one.

But I suppose I learned my lesson. And it cost me $4.30 return shipping too. But that was my choice.

Heh.. I had a conversation about Coach a couple of months ago with my transsexual friend as we were walking past their store in Beverly Center. It went something like this:

Me: These shoes look like every other pair of basic womens' shoes, yet they're amazingly expensive. Why is this?
Her: Because they're Coach, silly...
Me: :confused:

the first time i brought home a coach bag... since I am with my b/f... i showed it to him and he said "$398.00 on a handbag... did you bump your fvcking head or something?"...and "listen... if it doesnt MAKE you money, you dont need to SPEND money on it"

so, i took him to a coach store... and everyone there knew me.. and was like "Hi Karen how r u... how is Kristina.. let me clean and moisturise your bag for you" ... and the b/f just sat in a corner while I shopped and chatted... and then he started looking around.. the way a guy looks at handbags... "why the hell do they ask this much $$$ for it"... and he was genuinely impressed.

now we go in... and he hands me a credit card at the door and tells me to get whatever I want and just make sure I get something for VeggieFrog too.

The quailty of their legacy leather... and all of their suedes cannot be compared to anything else on the planet. And they all come with a FREE lifetime warranty... fix, repair and replace FREE FOR LIFE!

LOL - if it helps you sleep better thinking that, sure.

I think I can speak with some authority (male, whose wife thinks I support and appreciate her spending choices), what he was REALLY thinking was more along the lines of...

"Gods above, she's totally in to this and there is clearly no well in hell I'll be able to talk any reason in to her head. Might as well just roll with it to avoid an argument."

Spending > $100 on a handbag makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of any factors, at all, ever, period. Even that's a stretch. No straight guy will ever think so. $400!?!? Yikes! Not even MY wife would spend money so frivolously, and she's made some pretty batty decisions with her income!

^^ I tend to agree. It sounds like KarenMarie has her b/f completely pussywhipped.
