Avoid buying fake Radley bags on auction sites By Marek Kamella If you see a Radley bag/purse with the name "Radley" emblazoned on the Scottie dog logo then this is a fake as Radley do not have the "Radley" name on the dog logo. The only exception to this is on the cardboard swing tag that hangs on the outside of the bag. Every Radley purse and Radley bag is sold with a leather care package which includes a bottle of leather cream cleanser. Also, Radley bags, Radley purses and other Radley leather products come in a protective drawstring bag. It's worth asking the seller if the product is being sold with this. Genuine Radley bags have a shiny, cardboard tag on the outside. A fake Radley label will have a "red dog" at the bottom. Also look out for this tell tale sign on Radley purses and other Radley items The Radley dog logo (made from leather) can be easily remove from the bag. Fake bags often have the dog logo permanently attached to the bag. As with most internet auction sites it's possible to gauge the credibility of the seller by the feedback rating of that person. "Feedback rating" is the accumulated score of positive reports from previous buyers for that particular seller. The higher the rating then the more likely the seller is a "stand up guy". Be sure to check previous feedback for the seller as negative reports can be found there. If you're not sure about the product then ask to see more photos. If they're reluctant to provide these then that could be another indication that something isn't quite right. A seller with a low feedback rating doesn't necessarily mean they are trying to cheat you. They could simply be a new Ebay seller. In many cases, these people often offer the best deals as they are not professional dealers but the fact they have a low feedback rating should be balanced against everything else.

I have sold a couple of bags online. Both had been used, but then I bought more bags so ran out of storage space. When listing the bags, I explained where I had bought them, and why I was selling them.
I have always been puzzled by the number of bags on offer on auction sites that are 'new with tags'. Perhaps the sellers have bought a clearance lot?
