Discount Designer Handbags
Today's economy has many fashion conscious ladies looking for ways to save on the designer purses they crave. Even though most women would like to own at least one designer bag, price is a concern.
One solution I've found for the expensive purse problem is checking eBay for cheap purses. I don't mean fall apart cheap. I am talking about purses that are priced well below retail but are still authentic.
It is normal to feel some concern about whether you will be buying a genuine designer purse when you can't see it up close. Many new eBay shoppers have this worry. By using some common sense and asking questions, you can learn how to find the best authentic bags.
When you are shopping on eBay, always be sure to check out the seller's feedback rating. The feedback number of each eBay member is next to their username. Whether they are buying or selling, there will be a number there. Clicking on that number will bring up some very important information about the seller.
It is not necessarily a bad thing if a seller has a low feedback number. The number itself only shows the amount of eBay experience a seller has. Every eBay transaction can result in one feedback point. This applies to both buyers and sellers.
Near the feedback number, you will see a percentage that indicates the number of positive transactions the member has to his or her credit. This is a very important number for you to consider. Higher numbers are best. My personal cutoff for doing business with someone is 98% positive. This percentage can give you a good idea of what kind of service you will receive.
Next, look down the page a bit and you will find actual comments left by buyers about this person. You can also see the item that they purchased. When I'm thinking about buying a designer bag, I always read these comments carefully. Obviously if I see someone complaining about the quality of a purse, I cross the seller off of my list and move on.
I've dealt with many people on eBay over the years and I've found that most of them are solid people with no bad intent. Feel free to ask questions. Some people ask questions of every seller they deal with just to see what kind of response they will receive. Most sellers are more than willing to answer questions and help in any way they can. Next time you are looking for a designer purse at a good price, give eBay a shot.
