This annoys me..

So, I'm browsing eBay tonight and I see this listing:

listing

First of all, that's a TARGET purse and it sells for like $14.99. The seller obviously left that part out. Second, it's not leather - it's PVC that lines the bag. And third, I am pretty sure it's against eBay policy to list something as "Anthropologie-esque"

I get so irritated when I see crap like this on eBay that hasn't been removed, and it frustrates me even more when I'm trying to search for something specific and I have to weed through crap like this because it comes up in my searches.

I report these types of things all the time and then I watch the listing to see if they get removed and they don't. It's really frustrating.

Grrrr I hate that too. I feel bad for the people who get duped and then they get this bag with the Target tag, clearly showing them that they overpaid! If they hadn't been to Target....they can't know. And lying about the leather is just wrong!

I have never reported it but I totally agree with you!

hee-hee...i just sent her this question...


"Are you sure the bag is lined in leather? Because when I saw it in person I thought the tag said it was PVC. That bag is from Target, right?"


Not exactly the same as reporting her, but maybe her conscience will get the best of her and she'll at least change the description.

I'm glad...because I realized she had a couple other items she was calling "anthropologie-esque"

This is one of the reasons I rarely shop ebay anymore, especially for bags.  It's littered with junk and people who say their bag is leather when you are sure it's PVC.

yea that sucks- but as a buyer and seller- i don't mind when people use tags like anthropologie, vintage, marc, etc- when listing things, as long as their description is honest.  I have a HELL of a time finding things on ebay and if a vintage top is reminiscent of marc or anthropologie, i want to find it.  Even if I have to weed through a lot of crap, i don't think i'd have seen some of my best ebay finds if it weren't for certain key words.  I actually hate that its illegal to use other names for listing- and I don't even say that as a seller but as a buyer.  I found the most awesome vintage dior top that was removed because it said built by wendy in the title and now I won't ever see it again =(
