Purses and Handbags on eBay
Designer purses and handbags are truly a fashion statement and most ladies who carry a purse would love to own several of them. The only problem is the price. They can be quite expensive.
eBay is a possible solution for the dilemma of expensive designer purses. Many ladies are learning how to find authentic bags and purses at low prices by shopping smart. They are learning how to spot the real deal and avoid fake merchandise.
A common concern for newer shoppers on eBay is whether or not they will be purchasing an authentic designer purse. There have no doubt been people duped online. That is why eBay has feedback next to every seller's name. With a bit of research and common sense, you can find real deal and flush out fakes.
Every seller on eBay will have a feedback rating next to his or her name. You should check this before ever considering placing a bid. Clicking on the feedback number will show you vital information about the seller you are dealing with in each auction or "buy it now" transaction.
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.
There is a very important number near the feedback score. The percentage of positive transactions is a vital number for your consideration. 98% or higher is my personal limit for doing business with a seller. You can usually expect the best service from people with very high percentages.
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.
