How long does it takes for a item to be authenticated

I want to sell a Prada hand bag and I am concerned of how long the item will be processed due to the fact it has to be shipped to different places and is there a charge for authenticating your items

How long does it takes for a item to be authenticated

I purchased a Luis Vuitton bag and I wanted to know can I resell it on ebay or would I need an ok from the manufacturer and is there a way around that if so.

If it's genuine you can sell it.

Be prepared to provide a receipt or other proof of purchase in case you're asked for it.

You can sell authentic items but you need to verify authenticity before listing. (If the brand name on the bag is "Luis" Vuitton, it's not authentic.)

 

 

Be aware that the bag will probably be part of the Authenticity Guaranteed program and it'll have to be sent to the authenticators before the buyer gets it. And you'd darned well better be sure it's genuine. Additionally, the condition needs to be accurately described and detailed pictures of various parts of the bag need to be shown.

 

You can start a discussion and post pictures. There are LV experts who can advise you.

If you post pictures of the handbag thread (linked above in post #3), it'll take only as long as someone who knows the brand to comment. 

 

Be sure to have clear closeup pictures.

As requested on your other thread, you'll need to post pictures of your Louis Vuitton bag. 

 

Reference the OP's original thread:

Before you can sell anything on EBAY you must register as a seller.   You must provide EBAY with your checking account# and social security# (EBAY reports your income to the IRS).  

 

Registering as a seller | eBay

 

Start selling on eBay | eBay
