My wife bought this item - CHANEL Gunmetal Brooch Pin Black Crystal PISTOL Handgun 2014 Limited-Edition NIB Transaction ID: ******* from Simplicity01 on this site and we just found out it is counterfeit Chanel merchandise!

1) Seller claims it is from the Chanel 2014 Dallas Collection but the brooch is marked 2013
2) the lettering on the black Chanel pouch is different than any other authentic black Chanel pouch that she has and we can take pictures of that
3) Seller is selling ALOT of other counterfeit Chanel items and I took screen shots of those items and can prove it! Additionally, I sent the seller emails of what the REAL BACKS of the counterfeit Chanel brooches she is selling SHOULD LIKE LIKE because my wife owns them and bought them direct from Chanel!
4) there were no tags or receipts provided
5) We just heard back from an authentication service and the lettering in the oval Cartouche is upside down and the marking is sloppy not consistent with authentic Chanel merchandise. I will provide pictures of this as well. This is counterfeit Chanel!

In conclusion, I am now having to mess around with PayPal and this seller to get our money back.

AND BEWARE OF SELLER SIMPLICITY01. She says in her profile that she left ebay to come sell here. Yes, I wonder why? Because even as low as ebay's standards are eventually (if she wasn't already) she would be kicked off ebay for selling counterfeit Chanel merchandise!

I have NO IDEA what action Bonanza takes regarding authenticity and removing members. They just tell you to call PayPal.

IN SUMMARY BEWARE OF THIS SITE FOR COUNTERFEIT HIGH END ITEMS- ESPECIALLY SELLER SIMPLICITY01!

Update
Seller immediately refunded my PayPal for the total amount of the claim ~$600 USD. Now if something was authentic would you refund the total purchase price immediately and not ask to have the item returned? I think NOT. I believe this further proves that the item is counterfeit Chanel merchandise. The seller also removed the other items that I challenged were counterfeit BUT MANY MANY MORE ITEMS the seller is STILL SELLING ARE COUNTERFEIT Chanel items. Hopefully, Bonanza will do the right thing and force this seller to PROVE authenticity of ALL the items being sold. Lastly the seller thanked me for my understanding in this matter. SORRY BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR CONDONE THE ILLEGAL and PUNISHABLE BY LAW activity of the sale or transport of counterfeit merchandise!

Bonanza.com's response has been that the seller has a 100% feedback rating. Is it just me OR is everyone scratching their head and asking what Bonanza's response that the seller has 100% feedback proves? There is some neutral feedback for this seller. If I could change my feedback from neutral to negative now that I know I bought a counterfeit Chanel item from this seller the seller rating would NOT be 100%. It does not appear that Bonanza will take any action against this seller; the seller retains their "stellar top rated seller" rating. Guess I am not surprised. All this site like so many care about is making money. IN SUMMARY USE CAUTION BUYING HIGH END DESIGNER ITEMS ON BONANZA especially from seller Simplicity01

Believe it or not if you thought ebay has alot of fake / counterfeit merchandise than stay off of est.com. Just do a search of "cc" brooch, pin, ribbon, bracelet, earrings, even REPLICA and you will see tons of counterfeit Chanel merchandise. I have tried reported these counterfeit items through the "report item" button on etsy and even writing to etsy's supposed marketing integrity department but etsy REFUSES to remove any counterfeit merchandise on their site. Since the sale of counterfeit merchandise is illegal and etsy REFUSES to remove these items, etsy should be held culpable. Shame on you etsy.com
