The two pairs of shoes I ordered last year worked out great. However, of the 4 pairs I ordered recently, I have zero pairs of shoes, and cannot even get a refund on the pair of shoes that their team inspected and immediately fell apart during first wear. I lost at least $50 in authentication fees since 2 pairs failed authentication, and the 1 pair *SHOULD HAVE* failed authentication. I have also lost $55 on the actual cost of the shoes that broke immediately during first wear. There is some mystery delay with the 4th pair of shoes, and no projected date when I will get them. And Vestaire Customer Service is refusing to offer me a refund on the broken pair, or even a 15% discount for my next order to make up for all this. That's probably a good thing, because I never want to order from them again. There are plenty of competitors, and you can bet they will be gaining market share with Vestaire's customer service.

I was sold a damaged bag that was listed as very good condition. Impossible to speak to anyone and impossible to get a refund for false sale. I have returned the bag to them and started a credit card dispute.

They were once okay, but are now absolute sh*t! I sold a Chanel bag on 26 April and they refused it on 28 April - 2 days from sale - saying it didn’t fit the description. My buyer protested because he wasn’t given the option to negotiate, and they just returned it to me. I relisted it with an accurate description of the flaws they noted, again sold it to the same buyer on 06 May and today on 11 May they received it, refused again, and within 2 hours it’s already on the way back to me. My buyer has no idea what’s happening, the chat bots are useless, and to stop me telling the truth, they’ve banned me from chat. Just stay away from these thieves - unless you want to buy cheap fakes from Asia, leave on all the labels, and sell at 500% profit because that’s what sells best. Fake items only. Recently I bought a Cartier Box for my vintage watch. It came to me authenticated by Vestiaire, with a Made in Thailand sticker still attached.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I purchased a watch that took about two months to arrive. I had a terrible experience trying to reach an actual person to help me with this (very frustrating). Their customer service is a robot. Turns out my package was lost in Hong Kong. I told them I no longer wanted the watch and they told me to return it once I received it. When I received it I immediately sent it back. Today I get an email saying that my return package arrived “empty”. They asked me to provide so many things yet I haven’t been able to talk to an actual person.

FUIRE !!! L'entreprise ne possède ni expert ni authentificateur ! Si vous n'avez pas la facture, boite etc, il penseront que vos article sont des contrefacon, donc clairement le site ne possède aucun expert.

Ridiculous, sold an item, ordered FedEx (the label they provided) I distinctively put my WORK ADDRESS in as I knew I would be in work and asked for pickup there, what happens, my daughter rings and says FedEx showed up and shrugged the shoulders (I also got no confirmation email) and said "book again" - so I drove to the next FedEx shop and handed it over, they first didn't want to accept it and claimed paperwork missing, I assured I had printed everything out and even showed them the eMail on my mobile. They asked for my mobile in case the driver wouldn't take it... Apparently driver took it, now for days there is an undisclosed delay, and I informed VC and I keep on getting the same formulated replies, I have been in touch with FedEx, they don't need my ID... Vestiaire claims they opened a claim, then come back with "We will open a claim" and ask the same thing over and over... It seems to be bots, or AI with out the i

Totally ridiculous, sold an item, shipped the same day, noticed the item is not moving and now for weeks as shown as at the drop off shop (Hermes/Evri) went several times to the parcel shop, they told me it has been sent they have no idea why it doesn't show up and maybe the driver didn't scan it or they haven't scanned it at the sorting place. I informed them after it was still the same after a few days, they told me not to worry and will monitor and after the 7th they will start to investigate. I had given them proof of postage, the parcel shop where I dropped it off, they sent me a message on the 7th that if I don't reply to them they will close the issue!!!!! They told me that they would investigate on the 7th! I gave them the same info again, they asked for all of it plus my ID again! I offered to upload my ID securely on their website but said I will not send it in an email where it can be intercepted, apart from that, they are the issuer of the label and the recipient (item was sent to them) it is only a little dress, not too expensive but I sold it with them and people who can't even read that I gave them the drop off shop, proof of postage etc before, I am not trusting them with my ID. I managed to finally contact Hermes/Evri as the parcel shop gave me a phone number, they claim since Hermes issued the label they do not need my address. I hate it, they use the cheapest sending service, one that is known to lose items left right and center, their customer service is a joke, you keep on giving them the info, they just send copy and paste messages, I am not sending a copy of an ID via email, first of all it can easily be intercepted and 2nd the person at the other end might be some call center person who sells the info on and I could be in a world of trouble. I told them REPEATEDLY I would happily upload my info on their website, where it is secure, but not via eMail. This is not customer service, this is a joke with bots!

Vestiaire is a scam. Plain and simple. Their so called customer service is intentionally structured so as to make it nearly impossible to reach a human being. They vetted/rejected an item that I bought as being inauthentic, then held it, and then re-sold it themselves as authentic...seriously!! Last straw was when they charged me to vet another item, which was fraudulent, and then refused to accept it/refund me when I returned it. Run don't walk from this absurd sham of a scam!

Oh my God I wish I knew about all this reviews before buying thru VC this has being the worst experience. I am still waiting for an item they claimed to have shipped but Fedex stated that they never received the item for shipment. I have being in contact with VC several time, they keep telling me their experts are working on my inquiry to wait 24hrs. I have being waiting since April 25th, it’s now May 8th, NO ITEM NO REFUND they have being charged $1000+

My experience has not been positive. I sold shoes that took over a month to get to buyer then buyer contested sale due to package condition( it was lost for a month) I do not trust or plan on using them ever again. The real real is much more professional.

Agree with some of the reviewers below. A perfectly good, even pristine item of mine was written off just because the tags are removed. And with some brands, you simply HAVE to remove the tags otherwise it's so huge you cannot use and wear the item without cutting it off. Of course I still included the label, but they are overly nit-picky sometimes. There are quite a few fake bags they approve just because they have (Fake) authenticity cards, but they are too picky with real products sometimes.

Shopping at Vestiaire has been a literal nightmare. I can’t reach anyone from Customer service. I would 1000% recommend not shopping there.

I sold a Fendi bag with them, and my buyer has received the bag and DHL has also confirmed that the bag has been delivered. However, after a month they have not paid me. They told me that DHL has lost the bag and that is completely a lie because I confirmed with my buyer and she told me she has received the bag. Their customer service is terrible, they will always reply back with no solution and keep telling you the same exact words. It's as if they are using bots to reply back and there is no real associate. I have had 5-6 people reply back to me, with absolute no solution. all they say is " we will get back you in the coming days" and they will never do. They also have no phone numbers which make things even worse. Don't ever use them. They will steal your money.

I have had a very good experience when I first joined in 2014, I bought a lot of beautiful vintage stuff and sold a lot of my stuff when customer service was still brilliant right until August 2021, last time I had proper communication with a good rep based in France was in December 2021 after I insisted that someone contacts me from head office in France. This lady Laura was so good, she helped me retrieve and re-purchase a lost expensive item. Sadly, since January the after sale customer service has deteriorated badly. One can no longer communicate with a proper rep by phone anymore, it all has to go via bot chat and useless Filipinos with poor command of the English language from a call centre (strictly by live chat). They never respond on time, never communicate back, it takes several emails and chat contacts to get them moving. It is a frustrating process. Their quality control staff have become so slow and lazy that they now write off an almost perfect item over for example a tiny invisible minuscule scratch ay the bottom of a right shoe heel, which is not seen with the naked eye, not giving the buyer the option anymore to accept or reject or the seller to have it re-listed on their site as before. Proof is that I always manage to sell the same rejected item by direct shipping to a buyer, without any issues or complaints. If the item is well vetted and approved by quality control then it takes ages for it to be paid. VC should take note of my comments, take every word on board for their own good. Now that covid restrictions have been lifted I think it’s about time they get rid of their failed live chat system, restore the phone call customer service system with proper reps from EU, France or UK to communicate directly by phone with English speaking clients, get rid off the current useless Filipino call commercial impersonal centre system. My message should be seriously relayed to head office. VC should cease using Hermes or Evri courier who so far have lost three of items in 3 months! This is unacceptable. They should start using DHL or UPS as more reliable courriers. It’s well worth it. Hermes lost a third item of mine which was never recovered and I never got reimbursed for it. I have been trying to reach out for VC live chat and useless emails to no avail. This should be seriously addressed. I am commenting here as a good customer of VC

This used to be brilliant website right until last August 2021. They now refer all your important queries and all essential problems to a Filipino call centre who can barely speak English and are useless. One has to message them 20 times before getting a proper response along some numerous useless futile time wasting email correspondence communicated via clueless Filipinos. Despite several demands, they never or hardly respond. They now use a cheap courrier Hermes which have lost me three sold expensive items, it took them ages to reimburse me. There is still one outstanding item sold two months ago, this was lost by the cheap courrier company Hermes to no avail. No response. No reaction from their useless Filipino team until to date despite requesting a French or proper EU English speaking team based in Europe to communicate directly with me on my mobile (considering that Filipinos are miles away, are useless and clueless). Their quality control used to be good in the past, they have now recruited a lazy team who seem to reject almost everything over the minutest detail and accepted items are no longer promptly paid as has been the case in the past. They need to wake up, revamp their system, get rid off their Filipino team and hire EU members. Covid restrictions have now been lifted, hence no more excuses, . About time the system is revamped and restored to what it used to be. So sad because it used to be such a good company to deal with in the pastb

Horrible website. The courier service of choice in Australia is CourierPlease which is the most unreliable. Vestiaire Helpdesk does nothing to help you when the courier doesn’t pick up the couriers and give you a negative badge as not a trusted seller even though it is their fault. I had my 3 courier cancelled bc the courier of their choice don’t pick up things. I went to the courier office to drop off, but they say Vestiaire insist only pick up label so we can generate a drop off label for you to drop off your courier. Worst experience!

Believe the reviews.... they are real. I wished I have read those reviews before started selling on their platform. They would hold payment without a reason even after the item has been accepted and approved. Customer service kept pushing payment date each time when you reached out. Just stay away and consign with other companies

A terrible experience!. I am still waiting for my payment. I sold a CDior saddle bag, limited edition, for 1.800E. When it came to payment they sent me an email saying that for security reasons they had blocked my account and that they wanted proof of my address. I have been receiving payments from them before, I actually have sold 5 items and I have been labelled by them as an expert seller. I cannot provide them with the documents they are asking from since I temporarily live in a new country and the address on my commodity bills doesnt coincide with the address in my passport. In this case their automatic system where you have to upload the docs doesnt accept a purchase bill. I did sent one from Decathlon, proving where I am staying right now. My mobile bill is from my previous country and obviously doesnt coincide with my passport either. They have no right to ask me that my address coincides with my passport or my bills, I move around a do change my address quite often. In fact I am going to live off-grid next month and I wont have gas or tel bills no more. So they have built a security system that fails and it is illegit but I have to pay the price for it because when it comes to complains they make everything really difficult, a labyrith, so you give up. They redirect also every complain to a help center and in my case its been a month and they have not even answer, on top they dont give you a case reference number when you put the complain. They keep on sending me an automatic email, with a non-reply, asking for these documents, as it is my fault and the ball is on my roof. Laura B. Rotger Greece
