I have purchased purses from HSN--I loved them all.I purchased a purse I saw in a magazine from a web-site recommended by the manufacturer.I was different looking than the pic-but well worth the price.So I decided to check out EBAY.I have only purchased wallets to start with--to check out the companies.Both companies I used sent me authentic merchandise in band new condition.So I would think they would be reputable with purses. But be careful--you dont always get a bargain.I bought 2 of the same wallets from the same ebay store on auction--paid $30 more for one than the other.Research prices before you bid--so you know what the bag is really worth.
