Their chat is just a bot that if you are lucky answers after one day the same answer continuously!! “We are sorry blah blah blah!” But never answer never solve. They banned my chat (although I have never broke any terms!) they say they had send mail and they never did, they never raise the 24h banned chat, and that causes me problems with my customers, and of course to all my emails and chat I send No one I mean no one answers! It’s just how much money they get. Don’t believe after my experience that they have any further care but they use all this thing of planet care just to attract clients. Cause if you care you care for everything! It’s a characteristic not an attitude! I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied!

Now I have plenty of fake items from VC. I bought numerous items on VC. As you may know , one can’t return the item if it doesn’t fit so the only way to get rid of these item is to Relisted them in Vestiaire Collective. Turned out that 8/10 items I bought were fake. Some of these went through authentication controls and passed it, so I was sure I bought an authentic item. However , when I Relisted them right away after receiving, they were rejected by the same authentication team as fake. One item can be marked as authentic or fake at them same time by two different people working on VC.

The customer service is frankly horrible, read none at all, the expertise of their "experts" seems to be a joke, but you can see that they have AI or staff posting positive reviews, all the positive reviews sound the same, give minimal information. Frankly I prefer to use other websites, as they are more reliable, have more knowledge and do actually have customer service. Vestiaire seems to be intend to make a quick buck with minimal effort, the app and the website are really flawed and hard to navigate. In case you reach out to customer service, you have to actually press them to read your request and not spam you to death with auto-replies

My latest experience with Vestiaire Collective Uk has been horrible. I sold a watch (ref: 40366314) on 14th Jan 2024. I sent the watch together with the guarantee card and Vestiaire received the watch on 16th Jan. Then they asked me further proof of authenticity. Their online form asked me the date of purchase, I think it’s clear that date of purchase is the start date of guarantee. I am shocked they asked me for this info even they received the guarantee card. I then tried to reach them but it has been a nightmare. The CS chat never replies responsively. The email chat asked me again and again for info that I have already provided. And at the same time I received another email from their expertise team asking me for proof of authenticity…..BUT the so-called expertise’s email address doesn’t work. It seems to me inside the company they don’t want what each other is doing. It has been a nightmare. It has been a huge waste of my time.

I am a veteran seller on a number of sites. I ended up on Vestiaire because I was a former Tradesy seller. I had read negative reviews but was hoping perhaps they were wrong..they were not. Sellers, you are the ones assuming risk when you mail your merchandise. I had 5 sales go smoothly and then suddenly #6…disaster. After shipping within a day of purchase 1/8, USPS clearly shows my item was delivered on 1/11. (Because WE get these notices about the urgency of upholding our end and shipping quickly!). I could see system was not updating to show delivered. I contacted them via chat…painful. They asked me if I had contacted seller to confirm receipt??? Why? I have never had to do this before…and isn’t that part of why they take a cut. Following another useless chat and a post on Twitter they now acknowledge buyer received but they are giving her until the end of the week..what? It has been a week since delivery. This system feels gravely flawed and I feel no support. Customer has shoes, Vestiaire has theri money and I am left with nothing.

I'm surprised to see so many bad reviews. I have made 3 high value purchases from different sellers. 2 have been excellent and 1 had to be returned (seller posted wrong item) and was refunded ASAP. 5 stars .

Made a $2k purchase (first purchase ever from VC) and got back a quality report that the item did not match sellers description. All the report said was care and maintenance and bag redyed, but did not specify if it was the whole bag or just part. To me, that matters. I asked customer service multiple times and they refused to give me more details, basically just kept repeating themselves that I needed to make a decision based on the info, which was minimal at best. They were quite rude about it, actually. It's hard to make an informed decision without all the facts. They have the bag in front of them for authentication, but can tell it's been redyed, but can't provide details on the redye? That's ridiculous. Especially for $2,000, that's a big decision. This is my first and last purchase with them, as I've had better experiences on other sites, by far. They are an absolutely terrible company just looking to rip customers off. I highly suggest going to the other popular 2nd hand sites, i.e. PM. Nothing but disappointment. Worst ever.

I sold a rare bag and luckily the buyer was somebody who said she would care for it, while it is a lovely bag and has been in the family for ages, it is not my style, I shipped and when the shipping didn't update for 4 days contacted them straight away, so hopefully the item could be found ASAP, I had to send sensitive documents like my ID in an email (that can easily be intercepted and somebody can commit identity theft) the receipt from the parcel shop, a description of the parcel (I even added a picture as I always make sure to take a picture so nobody can claim it wasn't packed securely), I contacted the parcel shop several times, they said everything was picked up. VC is dragging their feet, even on their site it shows it was sent (there is a direct link to tracking) and then come back with a message that they will check and if "my information is correct" (so basically despite it being on their own page suggesting I lie to them) they will check with the carrier. Donna-no-brains could have simply checked on my account, everybody knows that the longer you wait, the less chance there is to find the item. Customer service - ZERO Apart from having had trouble sending the item as several shops were full and could not accept it (I spent 2 days trying to find a shop who could take the item, while they kept on sending me reminders to ship, I wanted to ship!) they then basically accuse me - against the evidence on their page of lying. How would it show as sent if the shop didn't scan it? They now use Royal Mail tracked, where often when the postie picks it up it doesn't even register in the system, if you are lucky it starts tracking later, but several items luckily arrived (2 didn't) without tracking and it was hell on wheels with the buyer and me contacting them so they would release the money. Apart from that they add so many charges to the buyer and the seller, while all the time trying to push the seller into selling lower just so they can ear the commission. The only effort they put in is sending fakes out to pretend that they had great service (you recognise those easily on meaningless 1 or 2 liners - like their customer service or authentication service, totally inept). All Vestiaire does is to throw up hurdles, the "customer service" seems to be a call center somewhere that only replies with automated messages.... Their software is woefully bad, sometimes pictures won't upload, if you try to upload later, it doesn't happen, then they try and moan about "you didn't show" well brainiacs, sort your IT out, I assume the IT department is as qualified as the customer service, cheap and inadequate

Vestiaire is a great website, but there’s some glaring issues that see me using competitors, and spending my money elsewhere. I’m a man and buy mid tier priced items (ties, shoes, T-shirts etc). About 80% of sellers do not offer direct postage, authentication (especially to Australia) and dramatically varied postage costs, regularly see the price of items double. As an additional cost, it should be negotiable, but rarely is. As is dissuades a purchase, I can only guess that the authentication is a huge money earner for the website - and where a large chunk of their income is derived.

Apart from no customer service, if you try to help a buyer by tracking the item, they will issue a chat ban, you can write to them, then you get the usual stupid auto-reply because the customer service is NON EXISTENT. Write to them, they WILL NOT EVEN READ IT. Customer service is a JOKE

Shady business practices would never buy from that scams it’s customers like this If you contact them they purposefully delay responses to make sure you are out of the 72h window. Chat function is mostly handled by bots with generic repeated answers After you paid them they are not interested anymore in solving issues they have me created themselves ( VC authenticated item shipped fake , Vc authenticated item incorrectly described, package arrived damaged…) Would not recommend

Already 2 weeks wait to get a confirmation of a refund for the order that I see as not shipped (since 23rd Dec). The seller confirmed that the parcel was not given the tracking numbers (carrier’s mistake probably) and no-one can localize it. So it was reported also by the seller to Vestiarie. As mentioned in the terms and conditions, I should have the money back shortly after 30 Dec. Meanwhile the customer care keeps on replying they need another 48h to solve the issue. After 3 weeks there’s neither any info on the parcel, nor refund process confirmation + customer care is days late with replies… Huge dissapointment!
