Thanks, I didn't know this. My husband got me a new charm in Sept. for my birthday and it makes my others look so dull. He got me the new Tiffany shopping bag charm. It is so adorable. For Valentines Day this past year he got the heart shaped lock that has LOVE on it. I also want the new Tiffany Notes round lock charm. I just love these.

I've saved all my bags over the years (and I must have 2 dozen by now) and the lettering is always changing. Same with the bags. And I only shop at the store on Bloor Street, not eBay.
I've also sold some of my silver Tiffany on eBay and I always weigh the item and tell the bidders what the item weighs. The fakes are very, very light, very unsubstantial, although they look very similar. Does your necklace have some heft to it?

I got a response!
I had no idea, I apoligize!!! Thank you for telling me, send it back and you'll of course get your money back. Again I am so so sorry
I still filed a claim with paypal to be safe on my end when I ship it back.
Is that what I do? Or should I wait for a paypal response from her to send it back?

The necklace looks real, but the bag looks fake, definitely. I have the necklace, picked out and paid at the Tiffany store; I was a little surprised the links were NOT ROUND like the bracelets. They are OVAL. Saying that, the oval shape makes the links appear smaller, so yes, the chain will look small. But, is it heavy? It's supposed to feel like a good weight in your hand. Try buffing it too, like you normally would with a silver cleaning cloth; does it scratch/shine easily? Not everything on eBay is fake, but if you don't want to take your chances then you're on the right track. All in all, the necklace looks and just like mine from the picture you provided. Good luck

The chain should only be 15.5 " long...regardless... Which photo are you looking at the first one or the one on this page?

That's great she was nice about it; still file the claim, and ship the item back with trackable shipping. Then post any future emails and the details of the trackable package in the Paypal chatscreen. As soon as she gets the item, she can log into Paypal and accept for request for a refund, then you'll get your money back =)

I'm glad that she's willing to refund! I'm very careful with evilBay nowadays.
I only own the heart tag bracelet and necklace which I got from the bf when he's on biz trip in the US last summer. I'm glad they're not available here or else I'll seriously go broke.
I love this forum so much. Besides having great people on the board, we also have CSI Specktra!
