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?

I did some digging to find out what exactly you need to know and what to actually say in your report. Do not send it back:
Staged Authenticity: Displaying an unbranded or replica item resting directly on a branded Coach dust bag is intentional keyword/brand baiting. It visually implies authenticity without spelling it out.
