This time last year (December 15) i purchased a brand new with tags Canada Goose jacket from eBay all markings and tags serial number etc genuine reason for selling. The Coat came and was amazing quality exactly the same as I had seen in the shops etc I was super happy. It was purchased to be worn on a holiday, the holiday was cancelled the coat remained unworn and labels still on and it was sold on eBay (January 2016) for the same price I paid for it.

Fast forward to today, I receive an email from the guy/gal who purchased my coat. They had tried to sell it and one of the potential buyers has got conformation from Canada goose that the coat is a fake. I have not seen this evidence yet. The buyer is demanding full refund or else?

I don't know where I stand on this, what to do next or if I'm going to be seriously out of pocket. Any advise welcome.

Where did you buy this "Canada Goose" coat with tags?

There are so many fakes of these (and almost all other designer goods) that unless you bought it from a bona fide retailer in store at retail price, it is almost certainly fake.
For all those saying the coat I purchased was definitely a fake I am convinced that it wasn't a fake. The coat had a relevant back story, it was purchased in Canada by the original seller- had a Canadian price tag on it. I have since had Canada Goose and Moncler coats from authorised retailers so I know the difference between a fake and the genuine article, if this coat was a fake it was the best fake out there! I think its probably something like 90/10 split on eBay for fakes vs real.

I am going to cease contact with the buyer until they take further action.
