Well Faran,

I think you look adorable in it so I think you should wear it. However, if you feel uncomfortable wearing it then you should sew it in to a tote bag.

I love love love your boots!!!!

Good luck, I have been there too...duped by ebay, it totally sucks!

it looks cute on you!
but why didn't you scan the ebay reviews of this seller: a few had already written that it's fake and shipped from china?

you should first write to the seller & complain especially if they specified in the auction that it was authentic in any way. The customer is always right, Im sure they can work something out. If not you can report the incident to ebay and they can investigate it if you really want your money back. Same thing happened to me when I bought what I thought was an authentic pair of MJ mouse flats on ebay that turned out to be more fake than michael jacksons nose!

Good luck!

it's still really cute i say keep it unless you're hurting for that money back. i had the same problem when i first used ebay. i bought a "marc jacobs" coat for $80. alas it was too good to be true and horribly ill-fitting. now i only use ebay for vintage.

It's cute on you but if you dont feel comfortable in it already than its not worth keeping. I'd say give that seller hell, but if that doesnt work out: let me tell you once again, in CAPS: very sweet on you, like the blue stockings with it.. WEAR IT. I know it would look disturbing on me but thats a whole different story.
question though. do you think 400 dollars for the cutest and tiniest (not as tiny as the ones KL created to be worn around your foot wrist or whatever you call it) ****** bag is a lot on ebay? vintage? really good brand. im scared someone will steal the deal off me .. and if anyone does so: I will find out where you live!!

I think it would work great as a skirt. Just hack off the top.

Wear it! No one knows it's fake (and you really don't know it is either) so don't be such so stuck up -- just wear it and enjoy it!

I was successful in getting my nomey back on a fake once... but it did take some effort. I contacted eBay and Paypal, and also my credit card company. After Paypal said there was little they could do I had my credit card co. reverse the charge and made sure eBay and Paypal knew I did this. Then I sent the fake-a** "goods" to Paypal's complaints/disputes people at an address they gave me.

Be careful... check the sellers reviews... and those too good to be true deals are 99.9999% fake.

complain. If the seller misrepresented the item to you, he probably has done it to others. Contact Ebay customer service to alert them to the seller. good luck. p.s. the dress IS very cute. I would wear it!

ugh this has happened to me sooo many times! if you paid through paypal then you can file a dispute saying the item you received is not authentic and was misrepresented. You must to this through your paypal account. When you do this they will hold the seller responsible and freeze their paypal funds and within 30 days you will be refunded. If you go through ebay chances are they wont be able to help you. Good luck! And as i learned.. dont buy anything "authentic" from hong kong unless your shopping there yourself!

The comment about a "first-time worker" wearing it to a job interview is naïvely sweet, though somewhat demeaning. Moreover, I don't know what sort of job interviews you have had, but at none of mine would that dress have been even remotely appropriate.

As for what to do with it: if you like it, keep it. If not, try to return it; if that's too much of a hassle, just give it away.

i say contact ebay or paypal and try to get the money back, fakes are funding criminal activity and sometimes the dyes they use are toxic! these people will just use your hard earned cash to rip more people off with fakes!

If in fact you used a mastercard to pay for it, you dispute the charge with the credit card co ,and get all of your money back without dealing with the fraud seller ebay or paypal
