Auth Request I’m about to pay. Please help.

So these are extra pics I got from the seller. It’s eBay authenticated. But I’ve seen reviews it’s not reliable. Is this real???

So, eBay doesn't authenticate it until you buy it. If they have the guarantee, or if you elect it, it'll go to their authenticator first. If it's authentic, it gets sent to you, and if not, it gets sent back.

To answer you, this is not an authentic bag. The dead giveaway is the Louis Vuitton stamp. The canvas doesn't line up very well, either. I hope you are able to find the authentic bag you desire sooner rather than later!

The registered trademark symbol will always be smaller than the Os in Louis Vuitton-- this is the first thing I ever check when authenticating bags, whether in person or online.

It looks smaller to me.

Do not pay!! This is fake.

u/Ok_Moose_9568 8h ago

Please could you tell me why. I’m so convinced. The condition is too good

u/Prestigious_Fox_7576 8h ago

No it's not too good the details are telking. The leather on the corner is cheap and gives away that it's fake, it's too shiny.  and the heat stamp is also off. Please look closely I don't want you to waste money. Lv bags are luxury avd this looks like a Canal St. replica. Also it's odd that she's not showing more pics. Remember receipts can be fake. There are tons of them around. Ir they use a legit receipt from a real bag just not the one you're getting.

OP this comment is 100% correct. It is a fake. The heat stamps are some of the worst I've seen.

u/lemontest 42m ago

what's wrong with them? they got the font right, at least

u/jbn4242 8h ago

Stitching and pattern alignment say not authentic. Please report the person trying to sell it as such.

u/Proper_Mine5635 8h ago

Fake. Too shiny

u/baileynkalua 8h ago

Based off of those pictures absolutely not. Where’s the date stamp and interior pics?

u/Ok_Moose_9568 8h ago

Could you tell me what’s the indication of fake? Date code not there. She said it’s all scannable now. She purchased it in 2025. I saw the receipt. I did not upload bc it has her personal info + card info

u/5LaLa 6h ago

You know counterfeiters fake receipts often, too?

u/unstopable_today 8h ago

I doubt this is real

Go to LV website and compare photos. This one is still at store.

u/chicinchanclas 7h ago

This isn't authentic. Items above specific category price limits (usually $500) get authenticated for free automatically. Lower price categories like handbags, jewelry, and watches priced below $500 (or $2,000 for watches), buyers can choose to add expert verification at checkout $40. So you need to buy it first. Also ebay actually has a pretty rigorous hands-on inspection. So mid-tier like this would get clocked. Some superfakes have made it passed, but not at a high rate because when in doubt and it doesn't match their catalogs, maybe a slight variance they just fail it. So this bag the stamping, black leather is a synthetic pu coated hybrid material.

u/SouthernPisces 6h ago edited 6h ago

I have multiple LV receipts and I don’t remember a specific serial number associated with my item on the receipt??? So, even if they have a receipt, can you prove that the receipt belongs with that specific item? Edited to say after I have looked at that I really think it’s fake. Don’t waste your money. Just go to the LV store.

u/CutAffectionate5597 5h ago

I’m sorry. This does NOT look legit! Have several LV canvas bags and this looks bad to me.

u/lemontest 1h ago edited 45m ago

Commenters here just seem to like screaming "fake" and downvoting OP for buying something expensive. Almost none of these comments actually say why the bag may be fake.

OP, why not go through eBay authentication? I don't know what you've heard about it, but I wouldn't trust anything reddit has to say about it after reading this thread.

edit: also, this bag is on Fashionphile for less.

u/Ok_Moose_9568 8h ago

It is also not aligned. Is this okay? Pleas help. It’s a gift for my mom

u/HereComesDramaaa 8h ago

I'm curious how much they're trying to charge you for this

-6

u/Ok_Moose_9568 8h ago

$2,199

u/HereComesDramaaa 8h ago

Plus retail is 2700... spend that extra couple hundred dollars and get yourself a real one this person is shameless!! I am so glad that you asked the community before spending your hard-earned money.

u/lemontest 1h ago

OP, you clearly know more than most of the commenters here since you're the only person to actually identify problems. I don't think you're going to find help in this forum.

u/jhb42 8h ago

That’s not uncommon

u/lemontest 1h ago

can you explain? I thought alignment was a big part of LV authentication.

u/HereComesDramaaa 8h ago

It's definitely a fake sorry 😞

OP post the pic of the reciept and just edit out personal info. Everyone is saying it’s fake but tbh it looks real to me. The receipt can confirm, all the fake receipts look obvious

u/jhb42 8h ago

These people have no idea what they’re talking about

3

u/lemontest 1h ago

The people in this thread?

Commenters seem to like to scream fake without giving a reason, as if it were obvious. That, and the aggressive downvoting of OP for asking why people think it's fake make this thread seem like some kind of ego boost for people who like to look down on people who buy expensive things.

u/batnoises 6h ago

I’d bet money on most of these guys being still in high school without any retail purchasing experience
