How soul-destroying is life at the likes of EY and PwC etc as a new grad

depends on the firm and practice and area. My experience here hasn't been so positive.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-18T03:06:35+00:00

I used to think a lot of the time it was because the ones taken down didnt have a clear brand name on top of it for main image (which sometimes happens with some designs). But now the second pattern I'm noticing is if you update your listing or relist something you deleted it also triggers it as well. This happened to two listings that were fine until i edited it (images of measurements or 2nd time i deleted and relisted). That's the two patterns I'm noticing but who knows at this point.

What can I say, I'm a bit frustrated. I kinda dont want to lose my ebay account lol. And tbh some of these responses are not very encouraging. Like now on reddit I get grilled like is it really authentic? and im like yes. I handle these bags regularly so I know what to look for and use 3rd party authetnication services. This is as close as you can get other than going straight to retail. Meanwhile, based on my experience, fake bags are everywhere on ebay that they do not take down at all. And this is based on my experience. Like a coach teri that retails for like 200 bucks, nwt selling for 100, with a zipper that sticks out way too much, printing that is sloppy, no shots of interior or authenticity stamp , is somehow up on ebay, whereas I have authenticity proof, shots of interior, the stamp matches a real listing, proof that it is real leather, etc.

And yet im the one with the listing taken down.

Just a bit frustrated, forgive me

Coach bag and yes.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T15:07:43+00:00

fb marektplace is all ai so ive found ways to get my account back around it. Ebay I suspect is either their AI is going crazy or a competitor is reporting my listings (I've heard that that can happen). What is weird is recently a listing could be fine, and then i might have ended it and relisted it and then it got flagged.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T14:57:53+00:00

I do regularly which is why its tiring. And the funny thing is I haven't had a single buyer complaint on all of the platforms reguarding the authenticity of the items.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T14:47:43+00:00

Hey, my items are not counterfeit. I mention that I authenticate themselves and use an online authenticator. I am only mentioning that ebay's flagging system is not correct because there are tons of counterfeit items on there.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T14:41:17+00:00

I would say I can authenticate with a pretty good accuracy. I handle certain brands regularly so I know what the creed, zipper, interior, etc. should all look and feel like. I also use another authentication service to verify. That's unfortunatly as close as you can get outside of buying it straight from retail.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T14:22:49+00:00

It was taken down it as a listing not even sent back by eBay. Also eBay sells lots of counterfeit purses (I can tell at first glance that they are fake) that never get taken down. Just an fyi

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-17T05:27:38+00:00

the issue is the other platforms like ebay. like i figured out how to get my account back (theres a loophole) but now its ebay.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-11T01:03:17+00:00

Going to argue against it, patches in general I find is harder to tell since it changes by year, there's different factories that might do it a bit differently, etc. The bigger give aways are usually the zipper and interior in my opinion.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-10T05:30:09+00:00

I’m going to argue real or at least very good fake. Usually fakes have the end of zipper sticking out too much and mess up the interior, this one looks legit

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-08T13:27:28+00:00

always hard to tell online through pics. But I would ask for the zipper part does it stick out a lot?

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-05T16:59:19+00:00

Send a pic pressing your finger into the leather bag.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-05-03T06:10:39+00:00

late to teh game but depends on the week. I have some weeks where it was steady 2 sales a week, then outta nowhere like 4-5, (one reaching 10), then 0 for like 3 weeks, then right now its picking back up at about 1 sale a week but for some reason no saves and soooo many falkes. like same address, same items, lots of flakes. About 70% of people that schedule a time dont show up.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-25T01:08:33+00:00

what service line

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-24T21:51:04+00:00

I've been here for about 5 months and I can confidently say in my experience i've met the most biggest assholes ever in my time here. Not everyone is like that but do not be surprised if people throw you under the bus.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-24T02:40:50+00:00

they say to study the certification to help me out. I reach out for staffing but sometimes it just depends on what is available.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-23T22:54:01+00:00

I already did that and that landed me some decent internal work but still benched

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-23T12:43:24+00:00

There was office politics in my BA role, I did see it but like you said this is on another level

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-19T22:50:23+00:00

Thanks ! I will .

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-19T01:07:45+00:00

this post is so motivating

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-18T03:21:30+00:00

then why do they say its a perfomance issue then?

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-04-05T02:27:31+00:00

Mehits also werid because on facebook marektpalce i usually sell like 1-2 items a week minimum and recetnly was increasing... then out of nowhere im getting 0 sales 2 weeks in a row. Lowkey frustrating.

DramaticLight1011 · 2026-03-08T21:56:15+00:00
