I have just finished dealing with a VERY aggrivating situation on the dark side. I bought an authentic Chanel belt at a estate sale. So naturally, I listed it on the dark side - this was before i found ebid. a girl bought it for 300 , which is a good deal, as this belt is vintage and very hard to come by. The belt was a three chain belt with three discs that has the cc logo and black enamel in the background. You could very clearly see all of this in the listing, and even zoom in on the pictures that showed the cc made in france stamps on the back. She filed a claim with PayPal - who is DEFINATLY not a pal at all - saying it was not authentic. In her email to me she said in HER OPINION that it was not authentic because the black enamel was slightly out of the lines on the discs. You can see all of this detail in the listing! So needless to say now that greedbay owns paypal, they automatically ruled in favor of this person, who has sold hundreds more than me, and just "bought it to turn around and sell it again". Paypal did not even give me a chance to fax in any documentation or make my case at all!
I am so fed up! They just automatically believed what she said. So now I want to list it on here to sell, but I am scared to list anything with a designer name. I had three ghd's that I won at a liquidation auction and now I can't sell them anywhere because of all of the counterfiet items. Am I the only one who has this problem? Shouldnt there be some kind of protection for those of us who have the real deal? Does anyone know a place that can verify my chanel belt's authenticity? I am so aggrivated and will not be dealing with name brand items anymore unless i have a reciept. And what I dont get is when it seems like my listings are being removed and not others'.
HELP!
