If you are a bag lady, like me... the only thing better than finding that perfect FABULOUS and AUTHENTIC designer handbag, is getting it for less than retail here on eBay! But how do you avoid the fakes? While I know Louis Vuitton, I am not an expert in all luxury brands. Luckily, there are tons of people and resources here on eBay to help you with your search!

Avoiding Fake Handbags on eBay

I've had a ton of people emailing me after reading my Guide How to spot FAKE and to Buying Authentic LOUIS VUITTON on eBay looking for information on other luxury brands. While I know something about some of these brands- I'm no expert... But I know where to go!

Like I said above, there are tons of experts and really helpful pages right here on eBay to help you with your search. The problem is that while some of these pages are searchable here in the Clothing & Accessories section of the new eBay Reviews & Guides, many are hidden on personal eBay "ME PAGES". I say hidden, because these pages are not searchable. I am going to give you as many of those links here as I can. I'll add any new ones that I find. If you have one to recommend, send me an email, and I'll add it.
