I'm sure it will be successful for you in the long run.

I've been down this road before on a pair of headphones and a chair, both which turned out to be frauds. I was travelling in Brasil when another EBAY buyer was kind enough to notify me on the fake headphones he had also purchased. It took a claim being filed to get the sellers' attention, but everything was refunded once the fake item was returned ( and tracked ) back to the seller.

I have not had a problem with luggage as I stick with Rimowa, but were I to make this type of purchase online I would ask the seller through EBAY to verify the item is genuine.

On a related subject, Isopropyl ( Alcohol 70-91 % ), Lysol, or Sporicidin 50% with H20 is effective regarding bedbugs, etc. in and on luggage, bedding, clothing, furniture, and other travel and household items. My wife and I like the Amazon basin and the Nordeste region of Brasil, and a spray application is a good post-travel preventative routine anywhere one travels these days. Cordelli is spot on regarding the incidents at Macy's and Bloomingdales.
