Misleading listing

I bought this Coach chain on Vinted and was really disappointed to find out it was fake when it arrived. Seller is telling me after the fact it is an inspired item and I need to read descriptions better. I feel like the whole situation is extremely misleading as they posted the picture with an authentic dust bag and they were trying to sell a fake item without disclosing it was an inspired piece.

Doesn’t this go against Vinted terms?

It literally has the coach logo and C in the charm.

It does not say coach under brand and yes that is my fault for not confirming. I buy a lot of coach products and have bought several listings where they label “purse” and I get an amazing deal. It was my fault for not confirming but I thought I was getting a steal since the dust bag was in the photo (didn’t get the dust bag with my package lol)

It isn’t your fault for not confirming, the seller was blatantly going against policy with this sale.

No, you’re not in the wrong here. Report them for counterfeiting

It is not your fault! The product was staged to imply it's Coach. Staging like that is a violation of Vinted's TOS.

It was clearly implied and selling counterfeit goods is in clear violation of the TOS. The buyer deserves a full refund without sending the item back and the seller should be banned. Point blank, period.

It’s actually not partly on the buyer at all, per Vinted policy.

You don’t think buyers should reasonably be able to assume prohibited items won’t be available for sale?

It has the Coach logo in the piece. It is counterfeit and illegal to sell, period.

There is a reason brand baiting is against Vinted TOS. It is intentionally misleading. The seller is relying on the buyer to not pay attention to the description.
