I've been wanting to know how to spot fakes!

@amandaintexas See my other listing for some hints. : )

I'm in love with all of your Betsey 😍😍 And I'm a bit jealous. I don't know how you can part with any of her items.
vichp55
@runwythrftshop I intentionally started with her jewelry because it's so cool. I have a little of my own, but generally buy to re-sell. Feel free to make offers. : )

@vichp55 Once I've sold off the rest of my inventory I'll be back for the two items I liked. May I use some of your photos to add to my 'how to spot fake Betsey' listing?
vichp55
@runwythrftshop Sure! I get so tired of the fakes. Reporting doesn't seem to do much good, but I'll keep trying.

@vichp55 Thank you! I tag the sellers and buyers/potential buyers in my listing so there's complete transparency.

I have become a "spot a fake Betsey" pro because I was sucked into buying one here, and only noticed it was fake once received. It is super easy to spot them and I'm shocked there is such an unending abundance of them here. Makes me distrust the entire Poshmark community. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your expertise here. Shame on those fake scammers!

@kimberivany It’s not just Posh. All online selling sites are rife with fakes. Factories in China even cross-brand some of the pieces. Reporting seems to do no good. I keep trying, but unless more people do it things won’t change. In reality, it’s up to the companies being counterfeited to go after these people before t it’s too expensive and widespread. So I’ve been told.

@infamousds4 It’s a counterfeit.
vichp55
@infamousds4 You’re welcome! The tag doesn’t always tell the whole story, does it? Sometimes it’s the same one being used over and over again for photos.
vichp55
@infamousds4 Please note that the other pieces for sale are authentic.
vichp55
@infamousds4 I’m investigating this. Two trusted sellers have it listed. Stay tuned!
vichp55
It is authentic. There’s this version and another white/rainbow version at Dillard’s. The version you see is from last year.
vichp55
@infamousds4 So sorry! Look it up under Betsey Johnson pegausus necklace. Should come right up.
vichp55
@infamousds4 BetseyLove I couldn’t find it listed. Maybe she (rightfully) blocked me for getting this wrong. I’ve been awfully sick lately and off my game.
vichp55
@infamousds4 I feel terrible. Do check the store I mentioned and elsewhere for the necklace. You’ll find it listed.

Vicki,
I created 2 listings of 31 items that needed your help for which year/ titles & some of them needed to be match the tag with the item!
Thank you sooo much for your help🙏😊

There is so much fake Betsy Johnson on PoshMark! I thought PoshMark cared about that. Why don’t they take it off?
vichp55
@warnocks Because there’s so much if it. We have to report and report. You should see how much if it is on eB*ay, M*rcari, et al. Steve Madden doesn’t, I guess, do much about it.
warnocks
@vichp55 Makes me crazy!!! I used to point it out to sellers but the news wasn’t received all that well! 😏

I am wanting to buy a Betsey Ship Shape Pirate Necklace and only see 1 on e Bay. How do I tell if it’s a fake? Seller is The Sassy Señorita.
vichp55
@jordad1 I msg’d you on Pin. 100% authentic. Reliable seller. I list on eB*y as well but most of my items are here. Have plenty of unlisted things as well. Let me if you’re looking for anything in particular. Happy to help.
jordad1
I am looking for the Skeleton ones. The pirate is next on my list if you have one. Somewhere I read that All the heads should be solid and not have holes in the backside but I am not sure if that is true or not. I am new to collecting and after reading your notes on Pinterest I am worried that I have bought a few fakes in the past few weeks. Ugh.
vichp55
@jordad1 It’s sure possible. I bought my share of fakes in the beginning. I don’t have any pirate jewelry at present or nautical skeletons. Have you done a general search online? Google and Posh have a feature where you can search with an image. Screenshot from my P*nter*st board, save to photos then search with the photo to look for you want. Really helpful when you don’t know the collection’s name. As always, I’m happy to help you authenticate. 🙂
vichp55
@jordad1 About heads on her jewelry. Generally speaking, they’re cut out with hearts or something related to the theme. But there are solid ones as well. It just depends.
vichp55
Oh…the internet is overrun with 1000s of fake Betsey Johnson jewelry. EB*y is the worst, but all the selling sites have them. I’ve learned that people don’t know or just don’t care. Very frustrating.
house_of_tara
May you please provide with who or what organization you are registered with to appraise. My family is in the business, and I'm curious..
vichp55
@house_of_tara I’m not. I’ve done loads of research over 8 years time and do my best to price based on comps, rarity, condition and what I need to make. I have a Pint*rest board (work in progress) dedicated to Betsey Johnson jewelry. What I offer others mostly is authentication.
