Before you buy: the checklist
- Favour listings that for branded items, include serial numbers, authenticity cards or receipts where you have them.
- Favour listings that show real photos of the actual bag from every angle, including interior, hardware, stitching and any wear.
- Favour listings that give exact external dimensions and capacity.
- Favour listings that grade condition honestly (corners, handles, lining, zips) and never present a used bag as new.
- Favour listings that clearly state the material (leather type, fabric) and what is included, such as dust bag or straps.
- Confirm the order is covered by buyer protection so you can get a refund if the item never arrives or differs from the listing.

Bags & Luggage: frequently asked questions
- How can I tell if a designer bag listed online is authentic?
- Genuine listings typically include clear photos of the logo, hardware, stitching, interior tags and serial or date codes, and the seller can answer detailed questions. Be cautious of prices far below market, stock-only photos, or refusal to show specific details. On GeraMarket, look for verified-seller signals, ask for authenticity proof before paying, and rely on buyer protection if an item is not as described.
- How do I make sure a cabin bag meets airline size limits?
- Check the exact external dimensions (including wheels and handles) against your airline's current cabin allowance, which varies between carriers. A reliable listing states full external measurements, not just internal capacity. If only capacity is given, ask the seller for the outer dimensions before buying.
- Is buying pre-owned bags and luggage a good idea?
- Yes — quality leather and well-built luggage can last for years and resell strongly. The keys are honest condition grading, real photos of corners, handles, zips and lining, and accurate material descriptions. Inspect the interior and hardware in photos and treat vague or stock-only listings with caution.
- How do I sell bags and luggage successfully online?
- Provide authenticity proof for branded items, photograph the real bag in detail, give exact dimensions and capacity, and grade wear honestly. Buyers in this category scrutinise authenticity and condition closely, so transparent listings build trust and sell faster.
- What condition details matter most for used bags?
- Structural wear first — handles, straps, base corners and zips — then surface condition of the leather or fabric, and the state of the lining and hardware. For luxury items, originality and included accessories like dust bags and authenticity cards also affect value.
