A Carousell user was disappointed when a seller went MIA after being confronted for selling her a fake Saint Laurent bag."I thought she was a legit seller who only sells authentic luxury bags because of her positive reviews," she said."It did not quite raise the alarm when she refused to exchange contact details for meet up and only accepted cash payment as I understand some people are uncomfortable.
Linet told Stomp this was the first time she has ever bought a luxury bag via Carousell so out of curiosity, she decided to get the bag authenticated.She said:"To my surprise, it was inauthentic!""I guess many people are blinded by the service provided by sellers.
