I've got a new item I'm selling on Ebay, but I've never sold anything this high end before. Its a Louis Vuitton bag, genuine, so I figured anyone interested will know most of the basic information and I didn't get particularly descriptive. Anyone out there that sells regularly have any suggestions on improvements I should probably make to the listing? I'd ask on one of the Purse/Bag forums, but they won't allow the post since it's actually an active listing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250346065236

It looks great.. my first concern with something this high end would be how to verify the authenticity and you addressed that..
Just a side note for my own knowledge.. although you listed places to verify the authenticity, I personally have no knowledge of how that works... can you elaborate?

While I can't profess to being an expert, I believe the gist of it is, you as the seller to photograph several very specific and detail portions of the bag and then the pictures are reviewed by experts who look for the standard sloppy or inaccurate details that the fakers use.
They get all the way down to the shape of the screws used to attach the hardware.

We have all heard horror stories about buying online, not just Ebay. A good knockoff (imitation) is hard to spot, not to mention what is shown may not be what is being sold. There are other things I could mention, but hesitate as some peole might get ideas. So it all comes down to security of both the buyer and seller. Not too much to worry about for low-end items, but high-end items naturally involve more risk. I realize the item is not of such value as to qualify for a Southerby's auction, but I wonder if there are smaller bonded auction houses. Personally, I would have listed it on CraigsList for the amount I wanted. If I was contacted by a potential buyer, then I work out the deal to the satisfaction of both parties. If I was not contacted, I would realize I was asking too much or there is no demand, and then go Ebay with the risks inherent with bidding (One nice thing is that getting paid by PayPal is guaranteed by Ebay, provided that you can prove the buyer received the item they purchased). These are just my observations, as I am a browser more than a buyer or seller. Now garage sales are different: the spousal unit is the browser and I end up being the payer.

I am sorry, but LV is a VERO member, meaning they dont allow thier items to be listed on ebay. yes you can list them, and yes they might run the time length, but if anyone turns you in they will be pulled and you will be charged for the listing, and you can get suspended

Well theres a twist! I never knew there were places that didn't allow there items to be listed. I had also never heard of VERO... thanks Chelle, definately something we all need to be aware of if we are going to sell.
