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.
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.
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.
First of all, if the number is very low, that means that the person does not have many transactions under their belt. A higher number of transactions is usually a good thing to see. It means that the person doing the selling has been around for a while and has eBay experience.
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.
Scrolling down the page a bit, you will find comments from buyers related to each sale. Clicking on the "view item" link will also show you what was purchased by that buyer. I always consider these messages carefully when I'm considering making a purchase. Any complaints about service will get me moving along to the next purse or handbag that catches my eye.
Finally, ask the seller as many questions as you feel you have to make yourself feel comfortable with the purchase. Most sellers on eBay are authentic and want to have happy customers. They will gladly provide extra photos and help you in any way they can. There are some great deals on designer purses available if you take the time to look.
