Tips for Buying Authentic Pre-loved Luxury Handbags on eBay

Hi Everyone, Thanks for watching. This is the process I use when purchasing luxury, pre-loved bags on eBay. I hope this helps if you are thinking of buying on eBay. There are some fabulous deals out there - you just have to really do your homework. Have fun shopping!
These are the pre-loved bags I purchased off eBay last year and the video links to my reviews. Also, if they were purchased from a large eBay seller, I listed that as well.

Great suggestions! Just starting my LV collection and purchased an LV keep all 50 from eBay. Very happy with my purchase. Will be following your suggestions for my next purchase.

Hi Karen! Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad this helped a little. I've been using www.authenticatefirst.com to get eBay auctions authenticated before purchasing recently, and it does help take the stress off buying pre-loved. I always love to get a great deal, and will continue hunting eBay for my purchases. Hope you have a lovely Easter! :)

Love this! I buy most of my luxury items on eBay as well and I'm just getting started with youtube. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mimmil4273]

Very well articulated, clear and consistent video. Many THANKS! :)

[@msdogood4026]

Hi Mimmi - Thank you for your sweet comment!

[@metrohomemanager1038]

Thank you for your Video. I am new to eBay as of 2017. I just came across a 14 beautiful purses at a garage sale. Most new with tags. On a follow my gut feeling I bought them all and listed them on eBay. But with your information I went back in and revised my listing with more info and history. I hope to make my buys confident in their selection.

[@msdogood4026]

Thank you for your comment. I would highly suggest getting the bags authenticated before listing them on eBay! Not only will it protect you, but it will also protect the buyers. It would suck to buy a bag thinking it's real, only to find out it's fake. Better to be safe, than sorry!

[@K.A.D.I.D.J.A]

MsDoGood how do you get the bags authenticated?

[@annabellnikolaus3610]

Your reviews are precious !

[@kbhogal1929]

It seems you are an “influencer” as well - at least for me. I feel in love with the Luca tote after seeing this video and had to have it. Looked around and was able to purchase a in very good condition bag for $600. Now I also have a steal of the year - in my case, steal of the decade! You can’t buy anything in the LV store for that price. Many thanks!

[@msdogood4026]

Sorry I'm so late responding! So glad I was able to help you find your dream bag! :)

[@kebaughn]

Love your channel! I follow multiple beauty / fashion ladies here on KZbin & I just wanted to tell you - You are amongst my faves! You are so classy & articulate! Love your info & content❤️

[@msdogood4026]

Thank you so much, Katie! Your comment made my morning! Hope you have a beautiful day! :)

[@Cloudburst2000]

Good tips! BTW, I LOVE your outfit. It's really complimentary on you and a beautiful color of blue.

[@msdogood4026]

+Cloudburst2000 Thank you! The wrap dress is a classic Diane Von Furstenberg. Love this style - so flattering on any shape. :)

[@iluvubb247]

Hi Christy! I really adore and admire you as a KZbinr and as for your beautiful self and your personality and even your voice is so soothing/calming for me ☺️ I just made my purchase on EBay but I feel like I’m being ripped off because I paid full price plus 1/4 more on top of the original price on a preloved and discontinued color and pattern and style item which I’ve been wanting for at least 3 years now. But I really wanted the item for my birthday and I bit the bullet. However, I wasn’t a bargain shopper on this item. So my question is “How should I go about the price for a negotiation if I find something I like next time?” I know it’s too late now but I just thought I’d ask you this now. Thank you 😊

[@K.A.D.I.D.J.A]

What was the item you purchased?

[@charinargi3521]

Great video---enjoyed and so informative😊

[@msdogood4026]

+chari nargi Thank you, Chari!

[@ChristyJ]

Where did you buy that dress! I must have it! It's gorgeous and my favorite style! We have the same name, lol! I think you would be an excellent shopping partner.....lol, I call myself the bargain shopping queen too!

[@msdogood4026]

+Christy J Thank you, Christy! :) The dress is a classic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress that I got on Rue La La (or Hautelook) earlier this Fall. I love the color too! Bargain shopping is the best. I feel so much better when I get a great deal. I love your videos and your style - would love to shop with you too! :)

[@melissiatroquille9637]

Hi christy, I stumbled upon your channel and I absolutely love your bags and advice. I have wanted a Louis Vuitton forever but have never taken the plunge , lol. But watching your channel I am now in search for a luco bag . I love yours and your reviews on it . Thank you for helping me in my decision.

[@msdogood4026]

Hi Melissia - I am so glad I was able to help you! I literally use my Luco tote 6 days a week and it's holding up great! They are awesome work bags! Thank you for your sweet comment! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@iluvubb247]

My next bag I’m looking to buy would probably be a Chloe mini, like the one you have (the black suede one) It’s so adorable and sweet! I love your style and how much of a bargain shopper you are! I need to learn so much from you 😇

You just sold me on that bag 👜 #IWANTONE❤

[@msdogood4026]

Such a great bag! I still have it and use it all the time! Glad I could help!

[@Shontise_Shonie]

Love this vid!!!

[@jennifertracy2153]

Can you name the sellers you use? I'm pretty familiar with the good Louis Vuitton sellers, but I would like to look into Balenciaga and am not as sure about what to look for for authenticity.

[@msdogood4026]

+Jennifer Tracy Hi Jennifer - Yes, I will go back and link the videos to the bags shown, and list the big sellers. (I meant to do that anyway) :) If you'd like, I can do a video specifically on Balenciaga.

[@SueYisoSueet]

This might be a bit personal (and its totally fine if you don't want to answer!) but I'm wondering if you're wearing any shape-wear under your dress. You look amazing! I have a similar DVF dress but am hesitant to wear it because it shows every roll haha...

[@msdogood4026]

Hi Sue - I just saw your comment. I don't mind answering at all! I don't remember exactly, but there's a very good chance I was wearing some kind of shape-wear with this dress, as it is very clingy. I don't wear them every day, because they can be uncomfortable, but with clingy dresses, they can be a lifesaver! :) Hope you have a beautiful Easter!

[@jjt3605]

This is so helpful！Thank you so much

[@msdogood4026]

Thank you!

[@MLHPChanel]

Thanks for the video:)

[@gardenofpraise567]

How do you identify the right tag if you’ve never pay full price for all your high end bags?

[@msdogood4026]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I have paid full price for a few of my bags, but I prefer to save money when I can by buying pre-loved. It is easy to find photos of authentic bags online to compare with. I always suggest getting any used bags authenticated from a reputable source prior to purchase.

[@katerinapr4717]

hallo there. I am about to buy a Louis Vuitton back pack GM monogram from ebay and also an Agenda MM monogram. Coud you provide me with a good seller for authentic products of LV? thank you

[@msdogood4026]

Hi Katerina, I listed the seller's I used in the description bar above, but there are a lot of great sellers! I would suggest using a good authenticator, who can authenticate for you before you purchase. I like www.authenticatefirst.com, but there are other good ones as well. Hope this helps!

[@Shopclosetrunway]

What are the names of the ebay sellers you have bought from?

[@msdogood4026]

They are listed in the description box :)

[@rachelking4568]

I just have the courage to spend less than 70 dollars for some second hand coach bags and stuff. I know pretty well how to detect if a MK purse is authentic. and what i noticed is that, some sellers have several different IDs, and they use those IDs sell the same products. they may have lots of fake MK purses by mass production. but some beginner sellers don't know that and still place bid on that and win a fake MK purse! and they still leave positive feedback to the seller! so that the seller still have 100% positive feedback but actually their product is fake. I am a beginner for coach, but i am expert for MK. for KS, its really difficult to detect if its a fake or real from the pics. therefore, I would just spend very little money for fun on eBay but not trust the 100% feedback thing. Im telling you this to let you be more cautious that a 100% seller may still sell fake items which are made really well. only people that always purchase from retail store can notice the minor difference between their fake bags and the real ones. they sucks! but your video was just so good! love your outfit. i also want to purchase some luxury goods from eBay but just so worried the sellers are selling fake. you have no way do detect it if you are not an expert.

[@rachelking4568]

+Rachel King I mean the fake sellers sucks lol

[@msdogood4026]

+Rachel King Hi Rachel - that is a good point. 100% positive seller feedback is just one of things I look for when buying on eBay - it definitely isn't the only thing. My suggestion to you is to ask the ladies on the purse forum to help authenticate the bag before bidding. If you still aren't sure, there are some great re-sale websites that authenticate every item. Good luck and thanks for your comment!
