Direct shipping - the buyer changed the mind and didn't pick up, the buyer is also lying and claims that she couldn't have delivered it to her office. Oddly enough VC sees nothing wrong with that as the parcel eventually got delivered back to me....

Losers losers, losers. Just look at their Better Business Review - F - the lowest possible. Stay away. They are a foreign company in france so you don't have the protection of American consumer protection laws.

Decided to sell a dress I had worn once and was hanging in my closet for 3 years, not an expensive dress, one of the highstreet brands Vestiaire accepts, they immediately suspended my account... Seriously, after 3 years they expect me to keep a receipt for a dress that is not even designer? This is totally absurd!

Vestiaire Collective charges high fees to buyers and sellers by stating they have a team of professionals doing "Quality Control & Authentication". I will relate my experience and you can draw your own conclusions. I recently sold a 12,000 euro bracelet, with its original invoice and certificate. VC's Quality Control did not approve it because the "expert" could not read the invoice in English and got confused because there were two items listed in the same invoice. This the explanation I was given by Customer Service, I have written ptroof of this statement I make. The sale was cancelled, my 12,000 euro bracelet is still with them and their Customer Service chat is the worst I have ever experienced. After waiting 24 hours for a response, I got a standard message explaining that the "expert" got confused when looking at the invoice because there were two items in the invoice, and this is why the sale was ultimately cancelled. I hope this review can help others. I am just wondering, if the "expert" cannot read an invoice in English, can we really trust 100% that they are able to authenticate luxury items, in some cases worth several thousand euros? And if you have a problem, good luck getting an issue resolved with their Customer Service! Very disappointing experience...

Unfortunately had an extremely bad customer experience, therefore NOT RECOMMENDED!!!! What happened: My parcel came from Asia, which is why I had to pay around €275 in import taxes. So far so good. The parcel could not be delivered, which I did not know because the FEDEX status was not updated correctly. My parcel then arrived at the Vestaire ‘hub’ in France without prior notice and without my knowledge. So a) it will be sent there as the next step b) it has arrived there - I didn't find out. The FEDEX status was still: ‘Delayed, will be delivered soon’, although it had long since arrived at the hub. Let's move on: As the parcel had been there for 3-4 weeks, it was now offered for resale without my knowledge and without my consent. My paid handbag and therefore my property was offered for sale without my authorisation. As I had received purchase enquiries in the app, I quickly deleted the advert. Again, no information from customer service. Unbelievable. Naturally, I was worried about where my parcel was and why my handbag was suddenly for sale. So I proactively contacted Vestaire customer service and only then did I find out for the first time that my parcel had been in their hub in France for a few weeks. I would have liked to have received this information proactively rather than having to ask for it. Next: They offer to send the parcel to me immediately. Of course I accept. Upon delivery, FEDEX surprisingly demands import taxes again (around €205). I refuse, as I had already paid them when I bought the parcel a month earlier (when Vestaire calculated an interesting €275). So I contacted customer service, who assured me that it was an oversight and that I would of course be refunded the taxes. I just had to submit the receipt after payment. And I have to pay, there's no other way to get my parcel. I then submit the receipt for the recalculated import taxes, but of course I never see any of my money. Reason: My Satus would have changed from buyer to seller in the meantime, as the bag was finally offered for sale (without my authorisation). The fact that this happened without my knowledge and consent is consistently not addressed. Only consolations along the lines of ‘we can understand that this must feel frustrating for you’. INCREDIBLE. End of the story: I am stuck with the costs because Vestaire 1) does not honour the employee's promise of a refund, which I have in black and white 2) finds it acceptable to offer my property, i.e. the handbag, for sale without authorisation (and this changes ‘my status’ to seller) 3) does not consider transparent communication about the status of my shipment etc. necessary 4) cannot explain to me why one-off import duties should be paid twice by me Never had such a bad experience. The problem always lies with the customer, the company makes excuses wherever possible or writes about my supposed feelings instead of addressing the facts. FINGER AWAY !!!!!

O sold them my Prada bag which was in pretty good condition for 430e. They informed me the sale is cancelled because it is heavily damaged. And they posted the pic of the same type of bag but with the details that I couldn't recognize and with the holes in the lining. My mistake tho is that I didn't take a lot of pictures of the lining but anyway I have the photos of the outside of the bag.I told them I will press the charges against them if it's not the same bag.They blocked the chat with me. Now I am expecting my order back and I am deeply traumatized about everything.I know it is not my bag or they somewhat damage it or the buyer did it or replaced it with the same style older bag .

I RECEIVED AN EMPTY PARCEL AND VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE WAS UNWILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSE TO ISSUE ME A REFUND!! I ordered a bag on Sept 28 and according to the VC app the item was shipped by the seller on October 1st. when I tried to track the parcel days later using the DHL tracking provided by VC the tracking number kept saying invalid. When I finally received the package on October 8 it was completely empty!!!! No bag inside, just a bunch of paper and tissue!! After back and forth emails with VC for about a month, they finally concluded that DHL was not responsible for the empty parcel since I signed for it and DID NOT OPEN THE PACKAGE IN FRONT OF THE DELIVERY PERSONNEL!!! WTF?!?! First of all, DHL left the package with the security guard so I didn’t sign for it, secondly, WHO THE HELL OPENS THEIR PACKAGES IN FRONT OF THE DELIVERY GUYS? So ridiculous!!! VC is basically accusing me of lying about the empty parcel and that it’s my fault. After a month of back and forth emails and waiting for an answer they are not giving me a refund, they are not taking any responsibility. Absolute SCAM! So I’m out of about 400€ and with no bag. ABSURD! They didn’t even offer a store credit or ANYTHING at all! WORST EXPERIENCE and CUSTOMER SERVICE. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!

Good afternoon since three years I fell and I was Vestiare Collective like a seller. I never had problems with nobody like a buyer is horrible. They are big liar. They accept people to post picture how they don’t below to the actual item recently, I buy one bracelet Chanel by the picture on the Vestiare Collective was from my necklace when I received the bracelet was that identification I noticed that bracelet doesn’t have stamp and she don’t have the quality of the Chanell item. I bring the bracelet to the Chanel boutique and they tell me Never this model doesn’t vas made and never exists , there was agreed to take back to check again the item, and after five days they say the original and completely compliant, and they will be released under my name and when they get sell they will refund me less commission I send a message to send me back the item because I want to send to the properly identification. They blocked me everywhere. They blocked me in the chat. They blocked me in the mail and they said they were done. Send me back item., this is a fraud , I tried to speak with the previous seller of this item and he said it’s private sale from the Chanell since then Vestiare does does it accept private sale or a gift why they insist this item its authentic I don’t understand that. I only want my item back to send them to properly authenticator or somebody answer me in the chat horrible customer service.,

Horrible! I've only been on a few weeks and have already gotten 5 offers on items and not one has paid. It's really ridiculous all they want it seems so s to keep lowering your prices and even if you do that still no payments. I'm closing out my account more frustrating than it's worth.

I am(now was) a seller on Vestiaire. I was sold fake items on Vestiaire, under the impression I was protected by their authentication system. When I was unsatisfied with how the items fit on me, I decided to list them. All four items I decided to list did not pass the listing guidelines when I explicitly took not only more photos than what the seller sold me did, but more detail in my pictures as well. Since then, I have a stain on my listing record that they refuse to take away because I, verbatim per them, “should’ve known better.” That’s how they talk to their clients. So I tried sending back my goods to be authenticated and to my surprise, they all passed. WRONG. So I went to list them again. So now the same pictures as before but including a picture with their Vestiaire authentication tag, it STILL failed. I got them on a recorded line stating this after I asked them, “so Vestiaire has members that authenticated the same item while other deemed it to be inauthentic is what you’re telling me?” The verbatim reply was “yes that seems to be so.” I can’t make this up people. Do not shop with these unprofessional frauds. They don’t care about your well-being. Trust me, this is coming from a seller myself whom has a ‘fashion activist’ badge as well as the ‘trusted seller’ badge for Vestiaire. Vestiaire is the worst selling platform on the market. I would rather sell on Ebay. Please please please do not invest your money into this place and if you do, don’t EVER become a seller here. Their guidelines are counter-intuitive amongst themselves. My account has been perma-banned because I hit my max number of refused listings due to the attempts of fake goods I tried to list. Not in my control for one, and for two, I was under the impression as a newer member at the time that what I was sold was real. Please beware. I’ve been drained of all my energy talking to different team members every day, with each new person not knowing the status of what has been happening prior to them ‘consulting’ with me. Oh and the Vestiaire chat member will have the nerve, the bold audacity to reach out to me EVERY TIME AT 3 IN THE MORNING. Like I’m going to be up at that time EVERY DAY. Get lost Vestaire. You just lost a vital member of this community and I hope the inevitable downfall of this platform happens sooner rather than later.

This company is a total farce and if I could give them a zero I would. I sent them a rose gold BVLGARI necklace and a pair of GUCCI trainers to sell (both brand new) and they sold really quickly within a week. Then VC decided that they couldn't authenticate my items so they are going to destroy them. The customer service is terrible and they owe me £1000 for the items they are going to destroy!!! Have reported them to trading standards, watchdog and the financial ombudsmen. Next step is solicitors!! Do not trust them.

Do not sell on this site! I recently completed my first sale on Vestiaire Collective, and the experience has been disastrous. Despite successfully shipping the item to the buyer and adhering to every requirement, I have yet to receive my payment, even though the stated payment window has long since passed.To make matters worse, my multiple attempts to contact customer support—via both chat and email—have been completely ignored. Thankfully the item wasn't that expensive but this is unacceptable!!!

BUYER & SELLER BEWARE. Do not use this site, they lie, scam, bully, swap items. They delay money, find fault in items that are in perfect condition. Send incorrect photos of your item to your buyer, return designer items in the incorrect box. No customer service - instead useless online bots that take days to answer then say nothing. No accountability, lay blame with everyone but themselves. No phone line to speak to anyone. I’ve engaged a solicitor to fight my corner as VC can do no better than say “patience” and “we are looking into it”. They care neither about buyer nor seller and treat your expensive items heavy handed causing damage. I can’t warn everyone from using this scam site enough. They are the absolute worst 😡

I recently had a terrible experience with Vestiaire Collective. I bought a Cartier watch described in the website as very good condition (works perfectly) and paid 1650€ for the watch. Upon receiving the watch, I noticed that it does not work properly (operating slowly and time shown in the watch falls behind the real time). I wanted return the watch and get refunded, so I initiated the return/refund process. Based on the return/refund policy of Vestiaire Collective, the firm is mandated to further investigate items by their experts based on consumers` claims. They received the watch and sent it to me back without any further investigation on the watch. When I resent the watch twice and claimed that this is a violation to their own policies, they investigated the watch and came to the conclusion that the watch is functioning perfectly, and they sent me the watch back. I requested to receive a report demonstrating the analysis/investigation they concluded. They refused to provide me with such a report. They refused to refund me. I went to the Cartier shop to get the watch examined and identify if the watch has a defect. Upon their examination, Cartier confirmed that the watch has a defect in terms of its crown and pointer and these need to be repaired/changed so that the watch can function properly. Cartier charged me for this examination (which was necessary to identify the defect in the watch) for 470€. I provided the report on the watch I obtained from Cartier representing that the watch has a defect to Vestiarie Collective and requested to be reimbursed as I needed to pay additional 470€ on the top of 1650€ to get the watch repaired. Vestiaire Collective stated that the watch was examined by their experts and they concluded that the watch was functioning perfectly, and refused to reimburse my expenses. TO SUMMERIZE, VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE SELLS HIGH PRICES ITEMS WITH DEFECTS WHICH CAUSES ITEMS NOT TO BE USED PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THEY LIE TO CONSUMERS ABOUT THE REAL CONDITION OF ITEMS THEY SELL. THEY DO NOT EXAMINE ITEMS SENT BACK TO THEM PROPERLY, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE WITH ANY REPORT/ANALYSIS OF THEIR EXAMINATION ON ITEMS, WHICH IS NOT TRANSPARENT AT ALL. THEIR EXPERTS ARE VERY INCOMPETENT. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE AT VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE AGAIN.

Vestiaire must be the worst platform ever, their authentication service is hit and miss, twice they have claimed pulls in items, I wanted the items back, there were no pulls, one of their drones possibly must meet her quota of rejections, it is even worse with direct shipping as the people seem to use it as a borrow service, then once they have worn the item out claim not as described and return it, they have 72 hours to to claim not as described, then another week to return, brilliant way to "borrow" items. The height of it all is a very distinctive dress I sold and that was returned - it was a one off couture model, I bought it at a fashion show from the runway, a friend alerted me that an "influencer" has the same dress, and guess what, it is the person who bought (or should I say borrowed) the dress, it is all over her feed and she wears it to a party where she dances (explains why my clean dress came back stinking of sweat and perfume) I contacted Vestiaire immediately with the evidence, there is nothing they can do, they don't even stop her from doing it to others. When finally a sale goes through, the money is now forever pending with my bank, I contacted my bank, seems there went something wrong and Vestiaire have advised but not released the transfer, I have tried to write to them, chat, everything, they don't respond, I am waiting for over a month now. Several times I had to contact them as the wrong commission is applied, they first try to fob you off, claiming that your item is not part of it, when you show them where it claims that the brand is indeed the one where they claim you pay 0 commission (they still charge you 3%) they come back with other absurd excuses, then finally it is a bug in the system, the bug in the system exists now for over a year. There is absolutely no customer service, they just try and scam buyers and sellers alike. They are trying to force sellers to sell expensive items for next to nothing, then bombard you with "Lower your price, lower your price" just so they can make money, before I make money with Vestiaire for items I paid a lot for and sell it for Pennies, I rather burn them in the future. This shady company should be taken off the market. I am not sure how they are allowed to operate anyway, they lie, they withhold money, they break every rule, they pretend that it is all about the environment, no, it is about their pockets...

I recently had a terrible experience with this company. I made an offer with a seller for £614, which was accepted. However, when I went to pay, the price reverted to the original £682 without any explanation. I noticed this right away and contacted customer service, hoping to cancel the deal immediately before the seller processed the order. But I was told that I couldn’t cancel the order myself—I had to rely on the seller to do it, which is already a huge red flag in terms of customer rights and flexibility. As expected, the seller quickly dispatched the package, conveniently preventing any cancellation. When I then asked if I could return the item once I received it, I was told no, unless the product was not as described. Basically, everything about returns and refunds is completely controlled by the seller and the company, with no room for genuine customer concerns or errors. This entire process is incredibly unfair, and their policies leave buyers completely powerless. I would strongly advise against buying from this website. It's a frustrating experience with no regard for customer satisfaction or basic fairness. Avoid at all costs!

They are ABSOLUTE LIARS, on the site where they say the brands where they charge the seller only 3% is Valentino Garavani, however they didn't honour that with my sale and charged me a much higher commission. When I sent them a screenshot showing that it is listed on among the brands, they simply lie about it and claim it isn't, it is on their own website! Do not trust them, they promise to take only 3% for certain brands but then don't honour it. It is there in black and white: https://www.vestiairecollective.com/journal/uk-monetization-offer-eligible-brands/ I even sent them a screenshot of it and those scammers deny it!
