AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AWFUL PLATFORM Awful customer service, no control of listings descriptions. Awful platform. I will never buy there again. - I would like to add that I usually don’t write bad reviews but I would like to express my dissatisfaction with Vestiaire as a brand new buyer. I tried the platform first as a buyer to see how well their customer service and platform was. In my mind if the orders went well I would consider them to sell hundreds of designer articles that I have in my closet ( many new) Thank god that I didn’t do it because the experience I had with my purchase was one of the worst experiences ever. Their customer service did not care about the issue nor tried to understand it. And they simply ignored my requests. If you choose to authenticate an item using their methods beware because even if the item is authentic and the description of the item is accurate if they choose they will cancel the order for any other reason other than been authentic (which is the whole purpose to send to authenticate). In my case I bought a designer item that was sold but sold out in Farfetch and is currently in their website. I found it in Vestiaire. The description was accurate by the seller, the item was validated as authentic yet my purchase was never received and sent back to the seller who was also in shock of the whole situation as to why it happened( the seller got a strike for the return for no reason since the seller had the correct description and the item was authentic) so BEWARE SELLERS !! This could happen to you ( I feel bad for the seller since I am a witness that she did everything right. Therefore the authentification is not for the customer’s peace of mind at all, it served as an extra layer for them to decide for both the seller and the customer based in their wrong algorithms and bad information. They have several of the same items that I purchased listed still in their site ( I wonder if the people who’ll buy these items will go through the nightmare that both the seller and I went through trying to get someone to understand what was happening). If Vestaire’s processes or algorithms are wrong, uff!!! good luck trying to get a person there to fix it. It is impossible. They will not examine individual cases even if is their own platform’s (algorithm)fault or issues. BEWARE SELLERS AND BUYERS. This is not a company that has the capacity to deal with listings. They overlook listings and customer service won’t study individual cases to see where the problem was. This is a big RED FLAG when you have algorithms that are wrong and you don’t have competent customer service to actually look at the problems. They will only use standardized messages like the one below to act like they care but they don’t. I am surprised that this company functions and I am in shock that they still have sellers. BEWARE OF THIS PLATFORM. I am erasing my account today! I should’ve looked at their horrible ratings before giving them a try. BEWARE!!!! Date of experience: September 24, 2023

It is official: VC is selling fakes I am currently selling a bag through Sotheby's (see link below). As I want to sell more bags and 12 rodeos which I bought from VC through Sotheby's, I delivered the rodeos to Sotheby's for inspection. I am happy to provide proof to support my purchases of rodeos from VC. On 27 September 2023 Sotheby's notified me that as some of the rodeos are fake, they are unable to accept additional items from me at this stage. Customers have been complaining authenticity issues but VC dares to say it has a 99% accuracy rate and even offer authentication service. VC ignores customer complaints but you now have an eminent, if not the most eminent player in the industry who confirms the goods which you are selling on your site are fake. Please, what is your response? VC is disgusting and shameless. We work hard to save money. I want my money back but VC does not allow for this, even though the product is faulty or a fake. Even eBay allows money back. I would have litigate but serving out of jurisdiction is difficult. I suggest to all persons who purchased goods over EUR 1000 to get it authenticated. It is not simply about the money, but the disappointment and heartbreak which is truly at stake here. Can you imagine a husband saved for 3 months to get his wife a nice handbag for her birthday, only to find out it is fake? Also, please stay away from Chanel, LV, Celine, Hermes, Gucci. They are expensive items and it is simply not worth the risk. There are plenty reputable resellers. After today incident I spoke to my Chanel SA. My Chanel SA bought a top from VC and through her experience with the fabrics, she immediately knew it was a fake. However, VC denied this and like me she is out of money. My Chanel SA came to the conclusion that the so called authentication service which comes with a charge is really to check the condition of the product, but not its authenticity.

Customer Support from hell. Life is far too short to have to deal with these cowboys. I was randomly banned from Chat on 13 September while about to confirm a sale and despite numerous requests through chat and email over the last week, I still have no answer as to why I am banned. Initially I was advised the ban was a system issue and the team was fixing the issue and all would be good by Monday. Despite 4 other "bots" taking over the complaint through chat since my initial interaction, there is still no meaningful response other than the nonsensical link to the T&C's around banning. In the meantime, they keep bombarding me with notifications about lowering prices and de-listing items despite not being able to transact on their platform. On a positive note, at this rate the world is at least safe from bots/AI as the examples used by Vestiaire are completely inept with the same grammatical errors and frankly stupid and insincere language in each contact. Should be noted that they do at least remember to use different names. They also refuse to escalate issues or take any ownership in terms of resolving my complaint, in fact they couldn't care less. The technology infrastructure seems incapable of supporting their operations and is a joke despite the commission level.

Terrible website. Sold an item and the customer claims it is unauthentic so the sale is cancelled ( even though i have the receipt of purchase to match the serial number on the item!!!) i still have not received my item back and no money. Everytime i speak to customer service i get a different answer and no one can tell me where the item is.

Costumer service from nightmare! I am unable to print my postage out. Normally I always use the same address.This time shown something wrong with my address.Then i added the same address again . But it's still not working. I contact "Jaden T" from customer service. Which left me feeling greater disappointed then the system's error. Jaden refused to help or call for fix the postage problem.Saying nothing he/she can do.And left the chat open and quiet. Even I have asked to close the chat. Then I can open the chat with others to ask for help. As a Business seller on Ebay for many years.Get through all problems in E-commerce business.Lost goods,a package cut open.Customer service team always willing to help to find the way. Never experience a arrogant and disinterested service agent like this before in my all life.Such a employee who bring the reputation down the way!

Is this some obscure joke or just total incompetence? I confirmed I want to keep my items to get a mail my items will be delisted in 70 odd hours, seriously you have an IT? Why doesn’t it work? What kind of service is that? We all know to not expect much as you cut corners but this is now a joke, sort it out, it’s way beyond a joke, more like a scam get an IT that’s at least semi competent, you charge enough. Is there actually anybody there who’s professional or has a working brain cell? It would be a pleasant surprise. How can a company still exist with such an awful IT? I trust you with my financial information. Oh sorry, apparently you are too busy posting anonymous positive reviews, I guess the bland and unbelievable comments are the extent of your IT. Sort your page out and get better shills

Last week I get a notification to confirm which items I don't want to have delisted, so I confirmed and clicked through the items, today I get an email that they get delisted in 72 hours if I don't confirm, yet there is nothing to confirm, no pop up window, NOTHING. So I check around and apparently I am also all of a sudden blocked from chat without having chatted in ages. You are apparently an international company, your IT really doesn't suggest so. For the record when I went to CONFIRM that I want to KEEP my item last week, at the end it didn't say keep. Who on earth is responsible for your IT? This is a total and utter shambles! You're always very happy to take commission, are eager to almost bully sellers into accepting ridiculous price offers, force us to confirm that we want to keep items, yet when you do you threaten to delete them anyway? Is that customer service? I went and checked on a forum (I just got your 72 hour email) yet there are at least 20 people who already complained that exactly the same has happened to them! As for you blocking chat without any reasons, well that also seems to be perfectly normal

J’adore Vestiaire Collective car j’ai trouvé plein de choses qui ne sont plus en stock ailleurs. Le travail de l’équipe est très bonne, les produits que j’ai reçu sont comme sur les photos et sur la description. Je suis très contente de mes achats sur ce site. Merci VC.

This site is terrible all around. How do you pay for something the same day. In that same day your payment was canceled by them. Money is in my account. I reached out to customer service they told me not to worry. They are clowns and this site is A scam avoid.

Vestiaire Collective send me a counterfeit Chanel bag, after it had been inspected by Pauline and I paid 15€ for it. How do you solve this problem??? Now they want the bag Back to do a new inspection and they want me to pay another 15€, when I know, I have documentation and testimony. I suspect they want the bag with the intention to take away my reason and physical proof of the big mistake they made by selling and authenticating a counterfeit item. Be careful, they just want our money and are not responsible for anything, nor does anyone respond to us. I was even blocked in chat.

Does not even deserve 1 star. I've read a lot of negative reviews on them but decided to gamble and list my items for sale anyway. I got my first sale and the item was delivered to their hub in Hong Kong to be authenticated. Then i received an email stating that their "experts" could not confirm the authenticity of the item. No further details were given (like why couldn't they confirm the authenticity- is it because there is no receipt?) So are they saying it is a fake or they just could not confirm? Now I am supposed to pay a fee to get it back. Also, I kept getting notifications to lower the prices of my items like every other day. Ridiculous. But it was a calculated risk that I took. Lesson learnt. I am staying away from this garbage.
