333900254535 - Large brown faux leather handbag

I have, understandably, been blocked from selling an item as it was a fake, which I bought - on eBay! - a few years ago.  I had no way of knowing at the time that it was a fake bag.  It wasn't until a fried was impressed with the name, Celine, which I had never heard of, that I realised.  However, I've used it until recently, when I decided to sell it.  I was assiduous in describing it truthfully, even putting "faux leather" in the title.  I really think eBay shouldn't allow that phrase, as there must be a lot of people who have no idea what faux actually means. 

Anyway, this is a warning to everyone.  I haven't had my previously perfect record besmirched, luckily.  Oddly, several years ago, I was trying to sell some Hermes items - genuine, naturally - and was blocked during the set-up process because eBay wanted me to acquire a longer seller record.  I didn't argue with this and applaud their policing of the site.

It's not that they "are" fake.  How could eBay know?  The likely explanation is that the manufacturer/brand holder simply does not want their items sold on eBay and has registered on VeRO to prevent it.  There are - of course - some sellers who may get away with it!
