- Would I buy luxury items from Japan on eBay? I share my purchases from Japanese sellers on eBay. I have bought many luxury goods from Louis Vuitton and Chanel from eBay USA but from sellers in Japan. I will tell you if they are authentic or counterfeit and if I would purchase again from these sellers. I also share sellers that Mel in Melbourne uses and Jerusha Couture.
I have purchased from these sellers on eBay:

Thanks Julie! So much helpful guidance for us to use!!!
You are welcome, Mary. I love to save money.
Love it Thank you for sharing!!
Very helpful! Thanks!!
I love this video. Thanks for the seller info. I think things have changed since the word has gotten out. LV Japan prices are pretty high now, at least to me. I’m still keeping my eyes open for a treasure though!
Thank you for a wonderful video! I have been obsessed with buying Louis Vuitton from Japan off eBay! It’s been an amazing experience for me as well. I look forward to all you videos.
It is so exciting when you get to save money!
BEST VIDEO TO SEE BEFORE BUY , thank you
Such a great video! I've bought two LV bags in need of minor repairs and am super happy with them!
How on eBay do you find the seller,at the top where you put in what your looking for,but where do you type the seller
Tfs sharing. Going back looking at some of your older videos. I agree. In the past I purchased several times about 10 from fashionphile and don’t get me wrong. I love fashionphile but lately I’ve realized that as long as I pay attention and be proactive on eBay. I can get better deals from Japan sellers. I was recently able to find my lv bucket gm and an alma that both in great condition for a couple hundred. Tfs
Thanks for the info :).
A lot of those vendor's customers claim fake bags. If I look at the comments and I see more than one person claiming "fake bag", I pass.
I got an amazing Gucci bag that has been out of production for decades for 100$ . So worth it .
Oooooo. Where did you get it?
Good video. You're doing a great job.
I was just on Ebay. Checking out Louis Vuitton keepall 50 from Japan. If you can get a great deals from Japan sellers why not.saving money is the best way to go. Also, look fabulous Thanks for sharing. 😊
I love vintage shopping on ebay from japanese sellers - the truth is, I live in Prague, Europe and always, always pay customs (25 % I believe). But still the price worth it... ;) Thank you for great videos.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to buy from Japan. I bought a trousse from Brandolls and I am very happy with my experience. I compared it to the two LV cosmetic bags I bought over 30 years (for $85 and $125 each -- they go for more than $300 now). After my good experience, I returned the new agenda PM I just ordered from LV and bought one in a different pattern for less than 1/3 of the full retail price!
Yay, Sherry. It is addicting. I am on a spending freeze for a bid. It is so fun to find bargains.
So helpful!! Thank you!!
You are welcome!
Julie Sorbello you are teaching me so much!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 💗
Thanks for this info. I buy from Fashionphile but their Chanel prices now are astronomical so I am looking out to buy a vintage chanel somewhere else and I came across the BrandJFA on ebay and it is free shipping.
Subscribed (: Cheers
By the way i watched you tubers Mel and Jerusha from Australia (:
THANKS JULIE!!!!!
Good luck shopping and purchasing!
I am glad that I viewed your videos prior. I bought 2 keepall totes, one 50 for my daughter & a 55 from Japan. Both in good condition. Just a small light stain that was easily removed. And no custom fees , and rapid delivery. Authentic!
Thanks for your input. 👌🏽
@denise clark what is the name of the seller you purchased from?
Hi Julie I just bought two vintage Chanel’s from Japan a couple of Louie Vuitton bags and a Gucci bag with your reviews and it’s been great I didn’t have to pay any customs either.
It is addicting. I am on a freeze for now.
What’s the sellers user I’d?
How much it cost you?was it in around $2000? I am very skeptical ordering items fro. Japan due to custom fee
Thank you for doing this video I was uncomfortable to purchase from Japan because I was unsure. China is very very different.
Yessssss I have never had to pay customs, I clean the lv item with Lysol, baby wipes, Cadillac leather cleaner and barkeepers friend( to clean the hardware). Once clean I spray with a little perfume let air out. Japanese sell items cheaper than us sellers and they give a very thorough description. I recommend looking at the reviews. 🥰🥰🥰
I bought from Japan and in the UK I paid customs. But even with that and postage very happy with my purchase, value for money. It arrived in a better condition than described, so the descriptions are exact in so far as they make you aware of the issues. It was described as having a strong smell, it arrived with no smell. The only issues I see are scoffing and small amount of declaring on the handles and tarnish on the hardware. The chances is pristine and as new. I bought an ellipse pm, discontinued and 21 years old. As you say do your research, scour the photos. I have been very happy buying in Japan.
Thank you for sharing. I agree that they are very good at describing.
Thanks for sharing, I have wondered myself about the Japanese market (fake or real and the condition) I worked as a receptionist at a Luxury Pawn Shop for 5 years, as well as a product lister for our ecomerce and eBay, infact I still list for the company, mostly handbags (Chanel my fav) the eBay seller Biltmore Luxury Direct.
Do you recommend Biltmore Luxury?
I just came across your video and found it so interesting. I typed in these sellers and I can’t found them. What did you type in? Keep up the good work
I found all but the last two listed.. try the advanced search. Juls can you see if you can post an actual link for the last two?
Fantastic video thank you I have bought 4 items from your suggestions and love them
What did you get!!?
Julie Sorbello x I bought a Saint Cloud Gm which following your tutorial have brought back to life, a gorgeous Chanel brooch, a trocadero and finally a cosmetic pouch.
Wow! You have been busy! I think I want the GM for me. I think it is a great size. What brooch did you get??
Wow, you got such incredible prices on the wallet and your daughter's shoulder bag. I have never seen prices that low on a bag in such good condition. Were they on auction or buy it now?
They were both auction. You will do better with prices if it ends during the week at a strange time. Be patient
You wanted a bag insert for your Herme handbag. Etsy has bag inserts. I hope this helps. Hugs!
The most I’ve paid for a second hand bag from Japan was a Dolce and Gabbana Devotion bag in large size and it’s absolutely beautiful and perfect and I only paid £600 which is a lot but not crazy comparing to the actual retail price which is about 2k 😱 I do buy a lot of Japanese Designer bag shopping and I love it 🥰
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Chandler Roman Instablaster :)
@Noe Cameron i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Noe Cameron it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Chandler Roman no problem =)
Hi Julie! I'm lucky as I actually live in Japan, so I can a) avoid customs and b) get them even cheaper. Scams do exist here as everywhere, but I honestly feel it happens less. Japan indeed does have very strict counterfeit laws and you're right in that the transparency is quite good. I really appreciate the rating system they use here; it's pretty consistent! And there is such a great market here for luxury resale. You can avoid customs when buying abroad if you request the seller claim the item at less than a certain amount, FYI. That amount varies by country I think. I recently sold a bag so someone in France who refused to pay the taxes so it came back to me. Fine, as I actually really didn't want to sell it, but in future I will definitely state the value on the box. New subbie, FYI. ;)
Such great information!!! Thank you for taking time to comment so we can all learn.
@@loughrey101 It depends where you buy from. A place like eBay - that could certainly be the case.
Thank you! I was a bit hesitant to buy from Japan but I should give it a go, do you buy any other websites from Japan ? Or just eBay? Thanks
How did you fix the interior of the bucket bag?
You should mention how much the item would actually cost if you didn't get it from Japan, just to have a comparison on are you really saving money from getting it from Japan
I only by lux items from Japan on Ebay. I have never had a problem. In my experience the sellers are even more careful with the descriptions.😊
Most decent LV wallets are at least $80 right now. Have the prices jumped since u made this video?
I was wondering why Japan has all these Louis Vuitton bags. I thought it was odd so I found one from a lady in Tulsa, OK
I can’t contact them because they’re not answering the phone , a few days later web site disappeared
How do you know they (the LV’s) are authentic with such a cheap price. Seems too good to be true.
How on eBay do you find those sellers that you recommended? Because at the top when it says what are you searching for,item not the seller
Seen any changes in purchasing from Japan ..post covid?
I just purchased 3 items from Ebay last night. 2 LV bags and 1 Celine backpack. I got a super deal on a LV Sophia Mini Lin clutch in fantastic condition for $62 dollars from a Japanese seller that I have used in the past. He was accepting offers and I submitted a ridiculous low ball offer to get the ball rolling on negotiations and he took it! OMG I was shook! :)
Yay Anne! Let me know when you get it and how it looks. $62 !? amazing
What was the seller’s user id?
Seller's ID pls :)
Brand jfa sold me counterfeit Goyard. I wasn’t careful and time lapsed so I was not able to return it or get refund. Brand ja ignored my attempts to reach them. BEWARE!
Thanks for this I happen to be on their website as I am watching this chanel.
What chemical did you use to clean the inside of the bucket bag?
HI Mel. I think next week I am going to share this. This Sunday's video (tomorrow) shows my experience with it.
If I bought something from eBay for 340 dollars how much will I be taxes for custom duties and taxes. Not an outrageous amount right? Fed ex is shipping my package
Any technique for getting the musty smell out of the trousse 28?
Did you try cleaning it out with a Clorox wipe and then put the dry sheet in it?
I did! It’s still musty. No mold was in it. Just strong storage smell
Makeup & Medicine I have had the same situation and what I have found is that there is an odor of mustiness in the zipper teeth. If you take wax paper, fold in half & half again, using the waxy side, rub against the zipper teeth. You will lift off some of the grime and tarnish and the zipper will run like butter and won’t smell as bad. Hope this helps!
Coffee bean!
How to order from ebay resellers?
How do I purchase on ebay?
I’m so annoyed. After 2 years the zipper pull on my Trousse 23, the smaller bag than your toiletry bag, broke off. LV replaces zipper pulls for free so I sent it for repair along with my Retiro NM, and large ring agenda, for other repairs, a couple weeks ago. I just got a text from the SA saying that they “can’t repair it because it wasn’t made in their workshop” I’m looking at the text like what??? I bought it from brand-works I think is the name on eBay ad they’re in Japan. I’m waiting on a response from brand-works, but it’s probably been too long to do anything. I think the SA is wrong, but I don’t know what to do. I have both of the toiletry bags that you have too. Sure hope they’re fine!
Are they saying it is not authentic? What do you think? My zipper pull is off also. I have a tab I put on it from something else.
Julie Sorbello I think they're saying it's fake. I really think they are wrong. It is still at the store I have to go get it. I would rather them send it out and have the repair shop say it isn't real. I don't know what else it wasn't made in our workshop means. It came from Japan and i look at pics thoroughly before I buy :-(
I wouldn't worry about it. I think they are on to us buying preloved and then having them repaired and they don't like it. Last time I took something in to be repaired they seemed bugged.
Julie Sorbello Oh ok. I'd rather that be the reason than thinking my item isn't real. Thanks for responding!
Update: The SA lied about having sent it out for repair and it getting rejected. I decided to call the LV customer service number and they had no record of it having been sent out previously. They said to try at another store. The nearest store is 3 hours away, but I went and needless to say my bag was sent out to LV repair, and I got the lining and zipper replaced. We know more than the SAs. Japanese resellers are fine!
did you pay custom on the chanel bag ? if yes how much ?I am in usa too
I did not have to pay anything extra. No customs.
Jul’s Jewels woow ok cross the fingers for me I just got Chanel bag from Japan pray that it will be everything no custom lol
Great video! Please tell me how you cleaned the inside of the bucket bag. I have purchased only 2 items so far. One from brandolls and I had to pay 50$ in customs on a 200$ item. The other was from boon2hanten and I paid none. I noticed that the first person put the exact amount that I paid for the bag on the paperwork. The second person put a negligible amount. Thanks for listing the sellers you have purchased from, Ill stick with those.
Darn. So sorry you had to pay customs. I plan on showing a whole video on the bucket bag. Stay tuned!!
Julie Sorbello I can’t wait!
Hi. I was planning to buy cartier ring on ebay from japan just wondering how much do you pay for custom?the ring would cast me like 800 but also want to purchase cartier ring that is worth 1200. Do u know how much i will pay for custom?
I have never had to pay customs. Not sure why.
Hi has anyone purchase jewelry from Japan dealers on ebay. Specifically Chanel earrings? Also, has anyone has clip-on Chanel earrings converted to pierced. I'm referring to Chanel's costume jewelry selections. Thank you.
I have not.
@@JulieSorbello Thank you for the tips on buying luxury goods from Japan and sharing the sellers that you shop with. I've was able to purchase a Chanel bad for under $30 and it was perfect except for ink stains on the inside! Who cares? Now I'm bidding on a Neverfull LV bag. It has a bit more damage but I plan on using it when I'm Estate shopping and at Farmers Markets so it will get dirty anyway. I'm so excited! Thank you so much! This is fun.
I’m confused. Is this on the US eBay orrr??
Yes. I found these on the US ebay.
Have you sent any in for authentication?
Hi Nancy. I have not, however I have taken a few in for repairs at LV and I have had no problems with the store taking them in.
@@JulieSorbello I just purchased a bag from the first seller that you mentioned. I feel kinda weird about taking it in for repairs… do you tell the folks at the store where you got the bag? I’m just shy about stuff like this.
Wife: "I didnt really need something great"
Husband: (phew! Finally)
Wife: buys LOUIE BAG
Husband: (shakes head)
5 years ago I bought a Louis Vuitton Alma fake from japan, guys be careful
Are these real?
Japanese women loves name brands and Japanese people are trustworthy.
If u have not had the Chanel authenticated, how can you promote the company you bought it from?
I have taken it Chanel for a spa treatment so I know it is real.
I have received fake bags from Japan before. If you look at the inventory for these Japanese retailers, there are plenty of fakes being sold. Also, if there are fakes, you are in the USA, how are they doing to be fined. Who is alerted the authorities. Doesn’t make any sense. While I think that some retailers are honest, it doesn’t make sense to generalize and mislead people. The key for all items on eBay, from the US or any country, is know the bag before you buy
Life.is.a.box.of given its ebay, you can complain to them and get your money back
Yeah that's what they sale
Have it authenticated before you buy! 🙄
How do you get your items authenticated...?
I have just been doing it myself. I look at a lot of pictures and videos and compare styles and the years they are made.
I also authenticate myself but if I do question something I use pro-autheticators for $10.00 you send them several photos of your items and they will give you a verbal confirmation. If you want it in writing I believe it costs $20.00. It's worth it if you are going to invest in a high price item.
@AnnieM I use ProAuthenticators too. Love them! They are very quick at replying too.
Only one word - @clostore.ch. I have got great Prada rep bag from them and I really like it. I can only say that I will get more 100%, they are T H E B E S T 😎❤️🔥
Be careful guys Japanese seller’s lots of tricks, don’t believe too much
maybe the Japanese really know how to knock something off..
It's all fake .. seriously people..
Gregg Lienhart how you so sure ?
