TYVM you've solved all my problems

Most high end designers label their products with serial numbers underneath the bag. A lot also give authenticity cards with their products and a storage bag with the name on it. Also depends on the price you paid for it that can tell you a lot. Ebay is a great place for buying mirror or AAA+ replicas being sold as authentic.I have already busted many sellers for selling Prada as authentic but it was a replica. You have to beware if the price sounded to good to be true it probably was.High end designers do not dropship, wholesale to public only licensend resellers, and they dont normally place their items on auctions. If you bought from someone who had numerous bags listed you can bet they bought replicas and sold them as authentic.If you find you got a replica and it was advertised as authentic you can get your money back if you used paypal.
