    Hardly a wall of text, and it makes perfect sense. So no idea what you're talking about.


    Well, that's me told!

    There was another poster who hijacked your thread and who I was responding to, but they went off in a huff for some reason , so only your posts now show.

    I think both of the posts you were replying to were replying to another post that was indeed a wall of text and has been removed for some reason.

    The poster removed her posts for some reason , I actually thought she had received some good advice, but hey ho.

    If you are convinced that the item is fake, then contact Trading Standards before sending the item back. Selling counterfeit goods online is illegal and those who do often do go to prison. See following:

    .

    A friend of mine was sold what he thought was a fake phone on EBay. He tried trading standards in town but they didn't want to know. Luckily the phone wasn't worth much, and he did (eventually) manage to return it to the seller for a refund. They didn't want the phone back at first and were trying all manner of tactics to get him to keep it.

    Seller probably refunded you cause he's frightened of you leaving a negative review that says he sells fake goods. He probably paid peanuts for the bag before he sold it on to you and he's just refunded you quick to avoid Ebay on his back. I think now you've had your refund there's no way of him retracting it, just consider yourself lucky for getting your money back.

    I read it,it doesnt make sense because you are going off on one after getting a refund.
    Sadly fakes and sellers of fakes exist. leave a neg and get on with life

    If it didn't make sense, then you wouldn't be able to respond cos you'd have no idea what I was talking about.

    Sometimes I think people on here need some lessons on how to actually respond to people in a polite way.

    I won't go into all the details, but the seller was a complete nutcase. As it happens, I've returned the bag and haven't heard from him, but when I say he harassed me for five days, I'm not using the word 'harassed' lightly. I wasn't far off reporting him to the police.

    So in short you have no bag and are down the cost of the postage.
    Well theres a lesson for some of us to learn for sure.

    For your further digesting, to understand something and it making sense isnt the same thing.
