      Need help authenticating a VINTAGE Dooney & Bourke Calvary Bag with no Serial # Tag

      Hi there!  I purchased this vintage bag at a local flea market. I want to post her on eBay, but she doesn’t have her serial number tag. I did some research and saw that some of these bags pre-80s did not include tags. I want to confirm that before risking to sell on eBay.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!  Please note that I am new to this forum and your patience is also appreciated! Thank you!  Rae

      Custom size functionality missing from clothing categories on web

      On web, several clothing categories require the seller to select a preset size and don't give an option for a custom size.   Have size 41 jeans? 41 is not  a one of the size options in  Men's Clothing > Jeans category, so you have to enter '40' or '42,' even if the garment label is explicitly 41. There are no decimal-incremented preset options, either.    In Men's Clothing > Shirts > Casual Button-Down Shirts, no neck sizes whatsoever are available to choose from, so if your Robert Graham short-sleeved all-over-print shirt is size '16.5', you have to put it in the 'Dress Shirts' category (which has presets for neck sizes) even though it's clearly not a dress shirt. Dress shirt brands like Stenstroms use quarter neck sizes, like 16 1/4 or 17 3/4, so switching the category to 'Dress Shirts' isn't a solution in that case. In the Stenstroms case, like with the 'Jeans' case, you have to enter an incorrect size if you want to list your listing, or give your best estimate of neck size to letter size translation, which is messy/subjective.    iOS and API still allow custom size values, but web is forcing you to choose a preset size in an increasing number of categories.   This is at best confusing and at worst misleading to buyers to have '32' as the size specific in the Men's Clothing > Pants category when the tag says 33 and the waist measures 33".

      Are these authentic Dior pants?

      Hi. Can any help me assess if these woman's printed corduroy jean-like pants are authentic? The label looks authentic to one from the 1990's on the vintage guild website but the button on the jeans doesn't seem like others I've seen on other vintage DIor pants. They are from a relatives estate I am handling. I haven't found this fabric print anywhere else in a google search.         and I'd like to sell them if authentic .

      Help identifying Nacoma boots

      Is there a good way to figure out identifying information for a pair of Nacoma boots that are likely from the 1990s? The stitching is really messing with my ability to see the markings.

      In search of a vintage Castelli Romani Blouse / Shirt
                                               

      Hi folks! I recently visited a 2nd street reuse shop in Osaka - Japan, it had amazing vintage finds from vintage Tom Ford to Issey Miyake, I picked up this shirt and swore I would come back the day after if it was still on my mind, unfortunately it was gone by the time I got back and now I'd love to find it again or something similar! Looking for any ideas or keywords on what to search to find something similar, it was giving a 90s, Enya, soft tech look and feel, slight ice dye, cloud pattern, beautiful steel blues, powder blues and lilac tones, the label says, 'Castelli Romani' however this returns a big designer market in Italy rather than a specific brand, there's a dreamy embroidery of three Zebras on the front, the material is super soft, I thought perhaps a cotton/silk blend but any ideas on the fabric too would be super appreciated! Thank you in advance internet!!

      The New York Times Mentions eBay for Vintage Men's Shirts

      In today's print editions, Vanessa Friedman offers advice to a woman on what to do with her nicely fitted button-down shirts that she used to wear.  It includes this:   For more ideas, the stylist Karla Welch noted that simply rolling up the sleeves shifts the attitude. “Pair it with an oversize blazer like Annie Hall,” she said. “Or wear it over a thin turtleneck tucked into jeans with b allet flats — very Audrey.” Ms. Welch herself loves a button-up and said she tends to buy vintage men’s shirts on eBay .

      Seller sold poor condition purse as excellent and refused return. Ebay sided with them.

       Seller had this listed as excellent condition but you can clearly see the damage and that this has deteriorating lucite. The seller said this was EXCELLENT condition.  Does this look excellent to you? I worked in antiques and collect vintage purses. There are different degrees of vintage.  This is POOR condition.  I paid full price for this. I tried to return it and the seller says vintage condition means expect issues. Ebay sided with the seller!

      Help me find this watch.

      For Christmas 2002 I was gifted with a Red or Dead brand watch  This was no ordinary watch, it was an inflatable watch that was clear and looked incredible! I lost the watch years ago by accident. I have been trying to find it online again even just to see a picture of this watch would thrill me. There seems to be no record of it online which is most unusual.

      Ebay Authenticity Center Moonachie NJ

      Please help,   I sold a pair of authentic Adidas spezials on a slightly damaged box, item is perfect but after googling the authentication center and reading the horror stories, stolen items, vanishing funds, no returns etc I've attempted to cancel the order and refund the buyer.    His funds however are on hold until 24 hours after verification when with all my prior orders they deposit within 48 hours of purchase automatically.   Ebay wants me to pay out of my own funds knowing full well the funds won't be released so it appears the buyer is either going to get double his money back OR I send the item and know its going to vanish/the sale is going to be a nightmare.   What do I do? I've sold several pairs on mercari and eBay a few years ago without an issue or this over the top crap they outsource to third parties who can't be held accountable
