Do i have a fake abercrombie? please help?

Why would you think it is fake? If you purchased it used, then it is likely authentic. When people sell fakes on eBay or Craisglist, they usually state that is is new without tags or they are selling it for a friend and have no further information AND they always have multiples of the same item. Your item looks authentic from my experience (I'm an ebay power seller with 4 years experience) and it doesn't sound like you were scammed in any way. I do not condone buying fakes as it usually funds terrorist activities (or drug cartels), so you did the right thing to ask. I have been scammed before, here are SOME TIPS to making a safe purchase. Know what you are buying, Designers usually put in something on the item or the label that is not easily duplicated, even though the exact label may change. A&F changes it's actual label a LOT. I have a few pairs of jeans that have labels that do not look like the labels they have now, but I know they are authentic, as I purchased them directly. The fabric, stitching and overall quality are easy clues to the authenticity of your item. When in doubt, return the item for a refund or just don't buy the item. Here's my last advice, I live near a HUGE College town, I visit my local goodwill or salvation army in January and June (when the schools are closed for vacation), the students drop off a TON of high quality designer clothing that no longer fits (freshman 15) or they don't want to lug it home. If you live near a College area, I suggest trying it...timing is everything so go after the student's have gone. The prices at these stores are amazing and you can find A & F tops & jeans for $3.99 to $5.99. Good Luck
