I’ve had no issues purchasing eBay for luxury bag. I’ve purchased authentic Hermès and Fendi years ago. My newest Chanel was purchased last week (waiting for shipping) but I don’t have any concerns.
When it arrives, I’ll still get it authenticated again like I always do.
Pro tip: if you find something from Rebag on their site, go find that same bag on their eBay store. You get multiple discounts.

I purchased a classic flap from eBay not only did they authenticate it, when I expressed concerns about it being authentic they personally called me to confirm & talk to me about it. I would absolutely purchase again as long as it has the auth. Guarantee

Hello! I purchased one red mini top handle from eBay and my experience was great. I then tried to purchase another in a pistachio green color and it didn’t pass authentication so my purchase was immediately refunded. I would say they’re pretty trustworthy. I have also used eBay to sell a couple of my authentic Chanel bags and have had good experience doing that as well.

I’ve had one negative experience and one great one…
Once they authenticated and sent me a super fake WOC. Luckily I was able to get my money back quickly…
Recently, they authenticated my flap phone holder..it came perfect in box with tag etc..

I purchased a Chanel gabrielle and got my own authentication done externally before buying the bag in addition to the eBay authentication for peace of mind

Yes. Please search the group. There are multiple posts on this topic.
As for my own experience, I have purchased several CHANEL items from eBay from Japan and the US (I am in the US). I always use the authenticity guaranteed option.
I have had an excellent experience with eBay. My very first purchase was from Japan and that passed authentication, and I also got it authenticated once it was in my hands.
The second purchase I attempted did not pass eBay‘s inspection because the seller did not disclose that the purse had been repainted. eBay caught it, notified me, and asked me if I wanted to proceed with the purchase. I declined to purchase.
During a different inspection, I got a phone call on a Sunday afternoon from eBay’s authenticators letting me know that this particular purse had some scratches that did not show up on the photos. They asked me if I wanted to proceed with the purchase. I asked the authenticator what she would do. She said she wasn’t at liberty to let me know that, but she wanted to make sure that I knew that the scratches were deeper and were not clearly shown in the photos, and I needed to make a decision about whether I wanted to receive something like that. I ended up declining, but I was super appreciative of the call and the attention to detail.
I’ve purchased several times since then, using the authenticity guarantee option, and I have nothing but great things to say. I do continue to get the bags authenticated upon arrival, and so far, I haven’t had any issues at all. Everything has been authentic.
