Hi Sam . This is a great video. So well laid out! Thank you so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Lttle late coming in but loved your video!!!! Beautiful bag!!!! Thank you for sharing all your information, so helpful !!!!!
Great tips. Love eBay and deal hunting.
Great video Sam! I love scoring vintage designer bags from eBay 🤗
Thank you! I honestly think that eBay has the best selection of vintage bags. I rarely find vintage pieces on other platforms and if I do they are so pricey 🤣
Nice video Sam! So true on the search listings. 👏👏👏 The digital marketer in me enjoyed this! Beautiful bag hun! 🥰😘
Thank you for watching!
Love that bag! Exactly why I don't buy from poshmark anymore. Thank you for the lists! On Ebay right now 😂
Yah I no longer shop Poshmark. I find eBay has much more robust protections for the buyer and actually listens when you say an item is fake.
This was very helpful. Thank you!!!
Yay- glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
thank you for this! very helpful!
Glad this is helpful!!
Awesome informative video!
Can you do a video on your vintage bag collection? Would love to see!
Yes I will add that to the list!!!
Great tips . I’m so afraid to buy luxury items in eBay. I bought fake Tiffany necklace and I didn’t know what to do that time. It was found out 6 months later. After that experience, I never buy any luxury item from there. Thank You so much for sharing darling ❤️
I have never bought jewelry from eBay but I can see that being a problem. I always try to authenticate the item the same day I get it just so I am covered by ebays protections! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Your super helpful 🤍
Yay glad it was helpful!
Yes! I really don’t like trying to sell on Ebay but as a buyer they have a lot of policies to protect you. They have come a long way since the early 2000s when it was more fakes.
Yes I wouldn’t sell on eBay personally... though buying that I definitely do!
Amazing video! To your point of seeing what other and how many other luxury goods a seller has listed, would it cause you concern if they only have one luxury bag listed and the rest of the listings are mid range brands? I am interested in a bag and all of the other tips you mentioned checked out (ie. Long time eBay seller, 100% feedback, etc...) but the bag I am interested in is the sellers only luxury listing. I just wondered your thoughts. Thanks so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so you so much for so much the details. I want to buy on eBay but I’m so afraid.
As long as your smart about it I think j the risk isn’t too bad. Like always buy from bigger sellers (I never buy from individual sellers) and authenticate the item as soon as you get it with an authentication service. If it isn’t authentic start a return immediately.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Of course! Glad it was helpful 😊
If you're interested, eBay does have an affiliate program like Amazon. So, while you're recommending these seller, you could make a little money.
Oh I didn’t know that! I will have to look into it.
Thank you
Of course! Glad it was helpful 😊
Thanks for the video. What’s the typical cost of customs and duty fees?
Fabulous video. Thank you for creating it. And what a beautiful bag! I have great faith in the Japanese system, though it is a good idea to authenticate when it arrives. Recently, I bought a Dior Trotter (I think that is the name of it) with the canvas pattern. When it arrived, so many things were happening that I stashed it in a cupboard and forgot about it! Now, months later, I am anxiously waiting for an authentication report back. The thing that worries me is that it does not have a date stamp on it, but perhaps that only started when LV took over Dior. I will see what they say. It was not an impossibly expensive bag, thankfully. So if I lose some money, I lose some money. (It is too late now to take action.) Thank you for the video!
I have also made the same mistake before- buying a bag and forgetting and then having to get it authenticated! You maybe okay because I do have an older Dior trotter pieces that doesn’t have an date code or code on it. I hope it all turns out okay!
@@bargain.hunting.blonde Thank you!
Oooh I havent gotten things on eBay before! Heard way too many horror stories to take the plunge! Thanks for sharing this informative video 💞
I think the horror stories circulate more than the success stories so eBay scares a lot of people. But if you shop smart I think there are great deals to be had!
@@bargain.hunting.blonde That's so true! Will definitely consider eBay if I'm hunting for any bags. Thanks for the rec, lovely!
Great video very informative , Do you have pay customs ?
If you are in the US and it’s over $800 yes! It’s normally about 10%.
Oh, please explain how and with whom to get great authenticity checked out. also. Do you know anything about the Chanel Business Affinity handbag? Thank you
I always use real authentication! They are fast and I trust them. You can send them a listing or the link to an item. Unfortunately I don’t know much about the Chanel business affinity bag. I don’t have one but have always thought they were pretty bags 😍
@@bargain.hunting.blonde Ok.mmi have had it on my mind for about 3-4 yrs. It would suit my lifestyle that is mostly casual.
Hi Sam, how is the wear & tear on this Beige Chanel? I am eyeing a similar bag on eBay at the moment and worried about colour transfer, it being a light coloured beige in vintage lambskin. Do you have any colour transfer on your bag? Also, the bag I’m looking at has a short chain strap which can only be worn on the shoulder. I love wearing my bags crossbody, so thinking I could send it to a bag spa to get the strap extended for crossbody wear? Would you recommend this? TIA for your advice 🙏
It’s very good but for some reason this lambskin almost feels like a calfskin if that makes sense. Basically it’s the most durable vintage lambskin I have come upon and I have like 5 vintage lambskin flaps! I am not sure if it was just the year but I have worn it against jeans and navy dresses and no color transfer! Also it’s common for most of the double flaps to not have crossbody length straps. Leather surgeons can definitely length the strap for you. I send all my Chanel to them 😊
Bargain.hunting.blonde thanks Sam. This particular bag I’m looking at is single flap with large external back pocket (a must have for me for an everyday bag!) in really good condition, and the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is short chain strap (34cm single drop) Just not sure if I will be able to get the cost per wear down if I can’t crossbody. For some reason when I wear bags on the one shoulder they all roll off....which is why I prefer crossbody 🤔
Hi Sam!
I have a question I hope you can help me with. I'm looking at a bag from Japanese eBay brandjfa, however it looks like the item was sold and then relisted again. Should I be concerned? I email them asking why it was returned and they said "we have not received any complaints about this item, such as it being different from the pictures" Should I proceed with the purchase? Thanks for your help!
So here is my thinking on this
1- it showed up on eBay as “you missed out on this item” which does not mean it sold. It just means the eBay listing expired and they had to relist the item which is why you saw it again.
2- it was bought and returned because it did not work for whoever bought it. I believe brandjfa accepts returns so like fashionphile sometimes this just happens.
If you like the pieces and the price is right I saw go for it!
Thank you so much Sam! It was definitely returned since they said it had previous purchasers. But like you said, I'll have to think of it like fashionphile.
Does one have to pay customs when buying from Japanese resellers on ebay?
Depends on how much you spend, which shipping service thing they use, and where you live. In the US anything over $800 shipped via DHL or FedEx you will pay customs on.
Hi! Thank you for your input. I found you when I went to search on buying on ebay from Japan. I live in California. I want to buy a LV bag from an Ebay company in Japan. Will I have to pay duties when I pick up my item from DHL or the carrier company? Is there a way around that if so? The bag is $1100 plus tax. I just want to know upfront as the cost of the bag overall will be more. The Japanese seller said she thinks I may have to pay 10 percent. Not sure if she is guessing or if she really knows. What is this charge coming from? Our government? Thanks so much!
Yes you will have to pay duties on any item over $800. If the sellers ships with DHL they will tell you before they deliver. If it’s FedEx the duties will be after. The fee is paid online or over the phone to the shipping company. The only way around duties is for the seller to say the item is less than what you paid for it or a gift. Most professional sellers will not do this and I do not recommend it. Duties are about 8-10%. And yes duties are something charged by the US gov and collected by the shipping companies (who also nicely charge you a fee to do this- there is no way around this fee to my knowledge.) I hope that helps!
@@bargain.hunting.blonde oh wow. Uuugh! Lol. Yes you helped me a great deal! Thank you so much! Wow I need to make sure I really want this bag as all the fees just drives up my expensive purchase and it won't feel like I'm getting much of a deal. Oh well, it is what it is. I TOTALLY appreciate you breaking this all down for me. I understood you completely! Yes it was of great help! Thank you! I'm a new subie!🥰
Beautiful bag!! I tried searching for Atlantistokyo but can’t find them. I found a few bags I’m interested in from Brandjfa but the negative reviews scared me about the bag having an odor or not being authentic. Should I worry? And how much did you pay customs? I heard there was an amount that had to be paid
They might have stopped their TH-cam shop as this is an older video! I have only had good experiences with Brandjfa. I always take reviews with a grain of salt as people normally only write reviews to complain. I have only gotten authentic goods from them and also always double authenticate. As for customs you pay customs for anything over $800 coming into the US. The amount varies by item but is around 8-10%.
@@bargain.hunting.blonde thank you!
Hi do they charge for a bag valued at $700 or 70000JYP?
To the US? They shouldn’t but I am not an expert here. Also when you say valued they go off the purchase price so if you paid more than $800 for the bag even if the value is less they will charge you duties.
@@bargain.hunting.blonde yes to the US
Any resellers here?
In the US? Not sure what you mean by here
Do you ever get authenticated bag that you purchased from fashionphile .
Yes! I do for every one. I use real authentication 😍
Ok i purchased from fashionphile but i never authenticated my bag i though they already being authenticated .
