Great information. I've also stumbled on Etsy shops who sell "vintage Art Nouveau" pendants that were obviously made yesterday.

Thank you, Karen! I agree- blatant misrepresentation is another terrible problem. I'll be sure to cover that in a future video ❤️

Thank you Jen. Great to see an example. The fact is that most of us do scour the sales sites in the hope of finding a deal. It's also why we scour shops. So if the price is too good to be believed, if everything else is equal, we absolute buy it, it's what we're searching for, and then we brag. The rest is the risk of our business and we don't admit to being had.

[@sundaebaubles]

Well said! There *are* deals to be had, and it's important to acknowledge that - but when something is just too good to be true and you can't get concrete answers, passing is the best choice. I'm hopeful this helps someone avoid a little heartache! ❤

[@dossnone4554]

@@sundaebaubles You and I work in different markets is probably the main answer. Mine is underdeveloped, and as long as my underdeveloped education stays one step ahead of it, I'm good to go. I've been cramming about 3 hours a day for 2 years in the areas which interest me. Jewelry is my relaxation. I only sell to trade up. Too good to be true is how I operate. I accept the risks.

[@T_marie_gallery]

This was so helpful! I didn’t realize this kind of thing was happening. Thanks Jen

[@sundaebaubles]

❤️ Glad to be of help - it's rampant on ALL selling platforms/marketplaces.

Hi Alison - thank you so much for watching! ❤❤

[@KierstenRedResale]

Jen this has also been a issue on Poshmark! If the price is to good to be true …… it usually is . Thanks for putting this out there . 🙏❤️

[@sundaebaubles]

It's so true - we all love a deal, but it's important to trust our guts and ask questions! ❤️

[@pegschwalbach2500]

Thanks for doing this video. A lot of people are taken in. If it looks too good to be true it probably is.

[@sundaebaubles]

My pleasure, together we can help protect the community! ❤
