Should I still get the heart earrings? đ„ș
YES!
They are pretty......
Yes đ
No. Youâve told us before in your vlogs that buying branded jewelry is a waste of money bc youâre paying the markup for the logo and not the quality.
@@smithsmith5290 agreed
Stella, name the eBay seller so others wonât be scammed too.
The minor details are just amazing. You should be working with homeland security on stopping the impost of fakes.
She is amazing at details. This is crazy good eye
That would be such a fun job!! đźđœ
What an incredible video, thank you for taking the time to show us all of the intricate details of this purchase from start to finish, it was so helpful, I learned so much!đŻ
Sorry to hear about this. Same happened to me with an Hermes scarf, I bought from Etsy. The logo was on the wrong side; I had a picture of the real one. Etsy customer service helped me get my money back.
Lesson learned. I will only buy scarves from Hermes stores. Not worth the few dollars saved on re-sale.
Hi Stella~So glad you caught those fakes! PLEaSE be sure to report that seller once you get your refund so that eBay knows to protect others from that seller. Sounds like they do this often where they are selling for a friend who supposedly buys a lot of Chanel. IF that were true, their friend would know that even the packaging was fake. there are SO babycakes being sold. I too was scammed years back on a T& Co item from eBay. ** I thought eBay authenticates high end designer goods nowadays. ** Hope you find your genuine Chanel earrings. đđ
Love watching your videos Stella!
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Chanel does everything precisely, accurately and consistently. They are super cute earrings though. If I want to buy a fake I will buy a fake no questions but to sell it as the real deal and it's not, then that is deceptive.
Thank you for sharing such great video of fake vs real packaging on this item! Iâm so sorry it happened, but as you said, you were able to help us in the long run! Please keep us updated on the refund!!!đ€
Super informative video! Not even a Chanel customer but so interested in your experience! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Stella
Thank you so much for the very informative videođ very helpful. Glad you were able to get a refund. Love your upbeat personalityđ„°.
So sorry this happened to you!! But thank you for making such an informative video.. When shopping on ebay always make sure to check out seller reviews/profile and what else they're selling.. I've found some gems but had to do a lot of sleuthing.. also make sure you report that seller! they may try and relist those earrings and pull one over on someone else
eBay authenticates. Not sure how this happened.
Sorry you got scammed - but glad you made this video...extremely helpful.
Iâm sorry this happened to you but it was really educational! Thank you for all the details, I was mesmerized. I hope you find the earrings đ€đŸ
Please report the seller. Thanks for the very detailed video. Iâm sure it took a ton of time to film and itâs really helpful.
This is mail fraud. Stella, please file as complaint with the us postal inspection service. If they did it to you, Iâm sure they do it to someone else.
Weâll that stinks! Glad youâre getting your money back! Great video, Stella!!!
Omg đ±
Thank you so much for the review! It was super helpful!!
The exact same thing just happened to me. And Iâm sending them back as well!!
I just hope people would be more honest and tell you theyâre selling you a knockoff, not claiming is the real thing!!
Sorry that you got scammed Stella - donât blame yourself after all it could happen to any of us!! What a great job you have made on this very thorough and detailed review videođđđ. Hope you can eventually find the legitimate Chanel Heart Earrings sometime đ€. Stay blessed đ„°đ
Wow!! I'm so glad you were able to get your money back without too TOO much hassle. Not a fan of heart-shaped anything (but that's just me). But if you love them, keep trying to find them. At any rate, thank you for sharing your story and your experience! Love your channel! It's a favorite for sure!
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I was able to spot the difference. I was given an HermĂšs Kelly Bag. I was so stressed having it because it was from the days when it came out. I did take it to the HermĂšs store but they wouldnât tell me.
I actually gave it to a friend thatâs used it daily. I seriously felt so much better once I gave it away!
Sorry this happened to you, TFS.
Very Informative
I'm always nervous with things like jewelry from ebay. That sucks that you were scammed. I'm glad you fought to get your money back.
Great story Stella. Too many fakes out there sadly. Hope you reported the seller though, as when he gets them back heâll just sell again to someone not as savvy as you!! đ x
SO sorry you got scammed Stella. Glad that you held them accountable.No Diet Coke for them!
Thanks for the infoâŠ. I couldnât afford Chanel but it is good to know a fake from the real. Take care my dear.
This just happened to me. I purchased a Louis Vuitton key chain. The pictures were of the real thing but I got sent counterfeit I was so upset. Thankfully I got my money back
Thank you so much for this video you have just saved me getting ripped off with a similar pair of those earrings I have just purchased from a pre loved store lucky I am able to return them for a full refund. I was put off already the fact there was no box as they are supposedly from the 22p collection but benefit of doubt the actual earrings were slightly tarnished plus they were dangle heartâs that werenât fully soldered so I really do thank you take care x
You just saved me!! I was so excited to buy my first pair of Chanel earrings and I've been loving them for 1 year. I honestly thought they were authentic because I bought them off Poshmark and the ad said authentic. I recently bought another pair off Ebay. I also bought 2 x more as gifts from Ebay. Oh my goodness!!! I think they are all fake! I just looked over the box and items in the first pair I ordered, that I have been thinking are authentic for over a year, and the font on the box was the first sign. Almost identical to the fake here. I measured the edges around the font and it is off centered. I opened the box and the inside of the flaps is velvety (fake). The box was also hard to open. You can see how everything has been cut and glued together. The last tell tale sign was the booklet. It is cut so crooked!! I didn't even know that was in the box as it was underneath. They included a "gift receipt" and it looks real, however it is on a thick paper, not thin receipt paper. I opened the booklet and they straight up cut across the font! It was so misaligned that the beginning of the next section was cut and showing at the bottom. I'm absolutely sick to myself and crushed! I feel so silly! I'm so grateful for your video. Good news is that I purchased all of it through my CC and I think Poshmark and Ebay will help no doubt. I'm just so sad. I'm going to have to return the new pair I got off Ebay because I have a strong feeling those are fake as well. So so sad, that the counterfeit industry is doing this to folks. Thank you for posting this, you really saved my tush!
Iâm sorry this happen. But thank you for sharing with us. Iâm surprised they sent you a shipping label. I thought you would had to go through ebays dispute process.
Excellent review đ
Love your channels, Stella. Hmmmm, the chanel packaging is actually prettier than the actual bag lol.
LOVE IT AS ALWAYSS
Thereâs war, people dying, people starving in the world- and some people are concerned with this stuff. Unbelievable.
Thank you for sharing,lesson learn to all of us buyers.may God blessed us all.
Hey Stella, thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry you got scammed, but glad you bought enough real Chanel things to know better. Scamming seller busted by you! Too bad there are lots of sellers on eBay and Poshmark selling fakes, and even if reported, the platforms don't do much (although eBay is better). I suggest you report this buyer to eBay and also list their eBay seller name in your video or comments. A few months ago I got scammed on eBay by someone selling new Pandora items (correct item #s etc). When it arrived, total fake. I have an identical item and was able to compare, but many people don't know better or cannot authenticate.
Love your neck lace.
You can see straight away how the flower is half over the print too..
Stella I want to see you flying again, For me and doesnât matter what kind of channel you create I follow you anyway, You are amazing, Keep going girl đđđ€
Ps: Sorry about the wrong English đđ
Hi Stella đ I am glad that this story will be a happy end for you and in the meanwhile it makes a very informative video đ I am not very brave so I donât buy second hand only from people I know and trust đ Have a wonderful day !
Very useful ! Thank you for sharing ! đđ
Thanks for sharing. The font is slightly different on the fake, that's what jumped out immediately.
Wow this was so interesting! Sorry that this happened to you!
OMG! This irks me. Hate these scammers. I wish I was able to stop these fakes. So glad you were able to spot this.
Oh my you made me check my box and booklets.
The lettering is readable. đ
I bought some earrings from fashionfile. They are my first earrings. Everything checked out. đđ
Stella!! You help me bring out my inner bougie lol
You should report to ebay. He will just repost ad and use ur feedback to make it more authentic
Ebay you can file and report it. PayPal is good at helping you get your money back
Agreed. EBay has taken so much criticism for participating in the selling of fakes. They should be sending your money to you immediately.
Already shipped the earrings back and waiting for my refund. And I couldn't believe the seller tried to push back that the earrings were real đ. Not fooling this Fashioniesta #hairflip
@@StellaConnolly I am shocked the details you know about the company. You are amazing
Hey Stella Iâve actually bought more then a few earring from the store and the case is suede on both sides!
Stella, some of my jewelry boxes, the interior material of outside is same as inside but not sure what season some are though.
The Real Real has let plenty of fakes pass through their doors.
The camellia immediately did it for me. Left side or number 2. So sorry this happened to you.
The camellia was so bad and it was fraying on the edges đ. I was like come on man! đ€Șđ
@@StellaConnolly I'm sure you immediately knew as soon as you pulled out the bag and saw that camellia. Ugh! So sorry and thanks for sharing your experience!
While I definitely appreciate you showing this level of detail to determine a fake item from an authentic luxury item, I also wonder if this same detail will allow a scammer to perfect a fake. Glad you will be getting your money back.
Itâs a double edge sword unfortunately.
@@fatimaessaid9257 If they perfect the fake one so itâs as good as the real one- then you wonât know, anyway, and youâd enjoy your fake item just as much. You have to assume everything on eBay is fake. If youâre buying luxury jewelry on eBay, there must be a reason. Or, youâre like Stella and you have so much money, it doesnât matter. So, Stella sent them back, and now someone else will buy them, and probably not know theyâre fake, and be happy with them. I wonder why she didnât report the seller so they canât continue to sell fake items? Maybe she did, who knows?
Very true! After watching this video I was trying to research and there isn't a lot of information where you can look at what a real box looks like, or a real receipt, etc. Seems like it might be taken down to prevent that info from getting to the fraudsters. I just learned I've been purchasing fake Chanel earrings off Poshmark and Ebay! 4 x pairs. I am going to return them all and splurge from a reputable seller. Lesson learned!
Thank you!! I purchased a pair of earrings on Ebay and had them in the bag for a few months. I saw your video and I had the same fake bag and I could not see the etching. I contacted Ebay and after a couple of days I spoke to someone who said it was too late for them to step as well as informed me that the seller is no longer an Ebay seller. Ebay advised me to contact Paypal credit. I did so but thinking this was a way to get me off the phone but to my surprised they opened a case and gave me a temporary refund and gave the seller 2 billing cycles to respond. The seller never responded and I got my money back!!
Get a signature for the returned package!
I just bought a Chanel wallet from eBay and they're shipping it to an authenticator before it gets to me. Did you have that option with the earrings? I think they have to be over $500 before authentication is included in purchase price. But I will be checking the packaging with an eagle's eye when I get it, for sure! Thanks for sharing your experience and glad you got your money back!
If the packaging is fake, so is the product. A lot of effort went into creating the fake packaging. After you get the refund, send them your video. Very informative.
Iâve never purchased anything from Chanel but just comparing just packaging definitely see major differences âŠwow
Thatâs horrible! Scary how good theyâre getting with making replicas.
yes
Besides the flower covering the lettering on the fake, I couldn't tell a difference in the lettering.
Wow...you are so good. You should do Louis Vuitton next...I mean maybe the guy did you a favor because now you can do "Is it fake or real" vlogs! I would get the earrings because it makes for a great story!
Did you report this scammer to eBay or at least give them a review sharing your experience? Hope they don't scam others.... TFS
Sorry that you got scammed and I hope you get your money back.
So, since you purchased the earrings from ebay, did you get a refund?
Sorry this happened to you, Stella. I would not continue looking for these earrings. Every time I would wear them, I would get triggered and remember the whole fake episode. Maybe you are different and can put it behind you.
Thank you for a very informative video.
Hi Stella!
Thank you so much for your fabulous Vlog. But Iâm wondering⊠I just went and checked my Chanel earrings that my Dad bought me from London in the late 80âs when I had just finished school. So, I went and looked -and no numbers on the Earrings. -THEN I went and looked at my Chanel choker (which I KNOW is real because I bought it on one of my visits to NY!) -& THAT one doesnât have any numbers on it either -but, I know itâs real, because I bought it from Chanel myself! Then also, the earrings from my Dad, -Dad doesnât do âfakeâ -& the authenticity card is with it, -But, no numbers!! If I was you, I would take it to Chanel & get them to look at it. (Tell them your Dad bought it for you & youâre just checking!) What have you got to lose? Maybe itâs not fake, maybe you scared the guy & he has no idea, but please TAKE it to Chanel -& I would LOVE to know what they say! If you remember me, (Iâve been watching âFly With Stellaâ for many years, when you, Bart & Frannie were based in NY for years & NY is my fave place on earth!! So much so, Iâm taking my sister & sister in law there to introduce them to NY in September & I am so excited! (We live in Australia, so itâs a BIG trip -this time itâs 3 flights -36 hours long! -Last time it was 27 hrs, so itâs getting longer!!) I would love to know what happens, please take them to Chanel & say youâre scared that someone ripped your Dad off! Have a fabulous weekend and stay safe! Kirstey xx
Sorry to hear! I always shop on eBay with the authenticity guarantee I donât trust it!
The majority of the comparison is on the packaging. Who cares?! No one is looking at the package when youâre out and about. The fact that your issues isnât even on the jewelry itself (e.g., weight, color) and just the stamping says it all. Chanel isnât worth the mark up price. The issue is that the person sold it as authentic instead of being upfront and selling it as a replica with the appropriate price
If you contact eBay, they will refund your money if itâs in a short window of when you received them. They are great at standing by the buyer in these instances. Let us know if you tried to return them and your experience with eBay! Thanks for sharing your excellent tips!
I was scammed too buying from eBay, like you I should of realised the bag was too cheap. Luckily I got a full refund.
Hi Stella love watching you videos I really do not have the money to by Hi End handbags but I make it a hobby watching you love you up bet personality I stick with coach and doney a bourk handbags Keep smiling love watching you on you tub and hope some day I can go to pairs and by a lv
Fashionphile has those heart earrings. Search over!
Did you get a refund before you sent the earrings back?
Just wondering, is the seller from Japan?
Itâs great that you are so knowledgeable about the packaging, because I would not know. But thanks to you, I know now!! Those lock earrings are cute! Iâm glad this ultimately worked out for you, but itâs unfortunate that this happens all the time to so many people.
Youâre way too happy! Calm down little Missy! How is anyone supposed to properly troll if youâre going to be so sweet, cute and funny! Lol seriously sorry that happened to you! People suck. I got scammed recently with a gorgeous Chanel brooch! The fake packaging was impressive and looked similar to what youâre showing here. Iâll still wear it because it does look real from far away! đ„Ž
Thank God you were able to get your money back and the seller didn't give you too much of a hard time.
I do know eBay would back you up though. They really crack down on fake merchandise.
I would actually report the seller to eBay as well.â€â€
Can you report them?
Wow! A few years ago a bought a Tiffanyâs bracket fro eBay. Now Iâm worried it is fake. Too late now.
This happened to me on eBay. It was a beautiful piece of jewelry from Tiffanys. All of the packaging was fake. The piece seemed really legit. I brought it my local Tiffanys store and they were able to tell me it was real. I still didn't believe it so they sent it away and it came back real. That being said I will never buy from eBay again for something in the thousands of dollars.
Why buy eBay? Buy from Chanel. Never have an issue.
Not to mention the magnolia is stuck over the CHANEL logo on the fake one!!!
Who is the seller???? That would help.
Wow, you have a great eye for detail! But the unfortunate reality is that people who donât have an authentic Chanel product to compare to may fall for the fake, right? To be fair, even you ordered the fake earrings and didnât realize they were fake until you compared the packaging to authentic Chanel packaging you had on hand. Fakes are getting too good, which is why I no longer buy pre-loved items.
Damn i just realized I was sold fake Chanel off your video đđ
I think the "real REAL" of Stella nearly caught ithe scammer in his own trap, snaring those fake earrings right back into their $1.99 WalMart black gift bag with their tawdry tie strings, fuzzy labeling (I mean, the gardenia on the bag is so fake I could spot if from Missouri!) and clumsily gummed edges. This adventure has been an opportune moment of consumer grace for you, for your viewers and a big ol' punch in the nose to anyone who messes about with our girl, Stella! Scammers ... beware :-(. !!
I hope u turned them into ebay to prevent them from continuing to scam others. Ebay will shut them down!
Please name the seller and save others.
*QUESTION* Did he actually give you your money back? or did you ship and lose the earrings too? What a stressful experience. Only you Stella could go through this and still be a shining bright sparkly star.
If you pay through something like PayPal you can usually get your money back pretty easily. Their customer service is even better than Ebays from my experience and at least here in Germany I've only had excellent experiences with Ebay customer service.
Hi I bought Chanel earring from Neiman Marcus and no stamps at all on the earring
What about Vestiaire?
Hello!!!!
From California!đ
How is the weather today over there? You know I miss California so much! One day I will move back đ€
@Stella Connolly the weather is amazing! In the high 70's. Loving it! đđœđ
Was the authenticity guaranteed by eBay???
I learned my lesson - DON'T PURCHASE LUXURY ITEMS FROM EBAY! I purchased three pairs of David Yurman earrings on Ebay from three different vendors. I own about 30 pairs so I know my Yurman. Two of the pairs were fake and one was real. Luckily I could return the fakes. Ebay is NOT worth the risk. I now only purchase from pre-loved sites and stores (who authenticate), buyers who I know, or the maker themselves.
Hi Stella!! Yeah they were clearly different based upon what you highlighted. But for some reason I don't think it was intentional. Everything was on and associated with the packaging, just not to the item used as a reference. I'd keep themđ! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
You better call your credit card and hold the charge.
Can you share how much you paid? đ€·ââïž
Thank you I bought a fake
Why didnât you have it authenticated through eBay? eBay does it for the USA.
