The worst customer service ever! They try everything not to offer after-sales services. They don't even have a call center number. I had several very negative experiences. They lost my items in the shipping. Bought a very expensive piece of jewelry it wasn't shipped for one month. The information on it was wrong they promised a $100 voucher code and didn't honor it. Not reliable, and platform to buy or sell!

I contacted you several weeks ago, item 27318984 is wrongly listed as a lace up shoe, all your lace up shoes are flat! The Ghille shoe from Vivienne Westwood is a HEELED ANKLEBOOT, actually a very rare shoe that is a collector's item Several weeks ago I contacted you about that, I got the reply that this will be changed (I have no idea why it was put as a lace up, since I did not and all the lace ups on the site are FLAT shoes) now it is still listed as a lace up, aka a flat shoe, where nobody who will look for this shoe will be able to find it. PLEASE LIST IT AS AN ANKLE BOOT This is getting a bit ridiculous! Also a Burberry handbag (25602777) I sent with the delivery service you picked for me, Evri (I shudder every time I am forced to use that company) shows clearly as sent on the 18th of October, it hasn't arrived, the buyer and myself have contacted you since the item still shows as "in delivery", I received several messages, had to provide confidential documents such as ID, send it in an email (what a risk) the slip I got from the shop (when the confirmation that it has been sent is in both the account and the tracking) a description of the parcel and the dimensions and the parcel shop where it has been dropped off, there has not been a delivery attempt, the buyer still had to provide her ID and a handwritten letter, we are both getting messages that you are looking into it and to reply if we have any questions, in fact we should not hesitate to contact you, when I did to check. I got told to not reply (so why offer to contact you in the 1st place?). It is very disappointing for the buyer and the seller when items get lost, Evri is unfortunately rather famous for losing or damaging parcels, however it is a delivery service Vestiaire forces on the buyer and seller. The buyer like me had no choice in the delivery company, the buyer said she would not have picked Evri, nor would have I, but we were both not given a choice. The buyer had let me know she wanted it for an important event, that is why I went and straight away sent it the same day, that day was the 18th of October, so on the 10th of November, there is no information, despite your claim that delivery takes 2 to 7 days. I am sure you are going to reply with the contact link, as I have seen you do before, unfortunately, so far it was rather useless as I only get an auto reply or promises that then are broken! This is really not what I would call customer service. In case you are serious about your claims that you are interested in circular and sustainable fashion and working for the planet, why would you use a company like Evri, not only they are unreliable, they are also famous for exploiting their staff, almost impossible to get a hold of (you can't get in touch with them and get basically fobbed off by a bot - if you have used the label, you do not have the post code of the buyer and can't actually check the delivery status in detail, if you do ask the buyer for the post code, you or the buyer get blocked in chat). I don't can't speak for all your sellers or buyers, but I am selling items I bought myself for a lot of money for very little (btw your cut increases all the time), then get hassled to sell for even less, you offer vouchers but to redeem a voucher I have to spend several hundred, I am selling items I spent a lot for on the site so they get a 2nd life, because what I get for them once you have taken your cut, is actually very little. I would expect a little bit of customer service for that, a delivery company that is reliable, and especially since you are using ethics as an advertising slogan, not a delivery company that is ethically more than questionable and exploits their workers with horrendous contracts. I can't even blame them if items "disappear" since Evri pays below minimum wage and forces the workers to do inhumane shifts, the labels have the Vestiaire name on them, flagging it as a designer item, especially if carefully packaged, that can be easily sold anywhere. Working with a company as exploitative and unreliable as Evri is not a exactly a good look for a company that makes a bit deal about their sustainability report and even has a manifesto. The good press you are getting has to be taken with a pinch of salt, since Conde Nast is one of your investors, it seems fairly clear that their publications will give you good articles, to protect the 20 million dollar investment in Vestiaire!

Very unprofessional, user unfriendly platform. Undeveloped, from the seller's point of view the platform is absolutely useless. It is very unfortunate that there is no more Tradesy. As a seller I'm leaving this platform and keeping my online retail store on other platforms.

They stole my money - order no 26660443. I received the saddle bag with a huge defect in the front of the strap (flap) bag, it was cracked! The bag was supposed to be new (never worn)! Vestiaire Collective checked the condition of the bag and they sent me that bag. I returned the bag and they accepted it! I paid 15.103,00 polish złoty and they transfered me only 13.672,65 zł! I lost 1430, 35 zł! I was scammed! DO NOT BUY FROM Vestiaire Collective! I'm now refering my case to European Union Consumer Ombudsman. Please do the same!

So far I have confirmed 6 times the availability of my items on the Safari browser for Macintosh, every time the window pops up open again to ask me to confirm, I tried to confirm on Firefox, all of a sudden they claim my eMail doesn't exist. I had this issue in the past, eventually it resolved itself, but it shouldn't happen in the 1st place! The website and the IT is a shambles, I am worried about having sensitive personal information and financial information on a website that is so careless with the IT. Any company relying on online sales does test it with every browser, every OS if the site is compatible, how come a company like Vestiaire doesn't do that? Customer service is plainly a shambles, nobody is ever responsible, meaningless copy and paste replies that show they haven't even read it. Yes somebody will pop up here and make a meaningless comment, pretending that they take the concerns seriously, but the same problems will happen again and again. Frankly I am wondering if I should not exclusively list on other platforms, where they take the IT a bit more seriously, apparently Vestiaire doesn't really grasp what a message such problems send to people who trust them to act as the middle man if they are buying or selling valuable items. I recently sold an item (for much more, I would like to add) with another website who offers the same as Vestiaire, there was a problem with the courier service they used and the item was delivered back to me, I contacted them, had a new label and a solution within the hours and could resend the same item with DHL the same day (yesterday), to the same location Vestiaire uses FedEx, the last time a buyer from France ordered something there was a delay of over 3 weeks. I am sorry but using the cheapest delivery options (I don't even want to start on Evri, the company who seems to lose parcels on a regular basis, or apparently used them for target practice - some of the parcels look they have been thrown out of a plane and then driven over for good measure, you can tell the sender used a sturdy box and packaged well, yet the box is squashed and has foot prints on it) and apparently the cheapest IT, it is not very trust inspiring! I for one will start using other sites more, for both, buying and selling and rethink if I might not delete my account, as the shoddy IT, total lack of interest from Vestiaire to up their service really makes me worried. If items go missing, despite that it shows they have been sent, you have to jump through hoops to get Vestiaire to act, which will happen much later, it would make a lot of sense if they would act immediately, when there is a chance to find out what happened and the person from the delivery firm who handled the parcel might remember, weeks later and having handled possibly hundreds of other deliveries, it's hardly surprising if items are never found and buyer and seller both are waiting to get their money, especially frustrating if you have bought something as a present for somebody's birthday!

I made a purchase on 28/07/2022, the item was never received. I reported the problem to the Vestiaire Collective, they said they would contact the company responsible for shipping and so far (10/6/2022) nothing. It should be noted that the company (UPS) confirmed that it did not deliver the item. The Vestiaire Collective is not responsible or professional. They haven't refunded me the value of the article so far and they just keep rolling me with emails and emails with no solution in sight. They're nothing more than scammers and I don't recommend it!

Vestiaire Collective is a sham. They aren’t able to properly authentic quality products, they lower the price of your items without your knowledge or approval. Listing your item for sale is a tremendous hassle as your item will be denied MULTIPLE times for generic reasons. Also, they take such a large cut of your sales that you really don’t profit. As a buyer, I do not trust Vestiaire. The purchase process takes too long and the communication with the company takes too long. This is NOT a quality site. DO NOT TRUST THEM!! This is your warning. This is NOT a company that you want to fo business with.

Unreliable Expert Team! I purchased the item where the photos do NOT match with the item. According to the photo, there was a brand tag, but it didn't come with it. The texture & color do not match with the photos. Then I found out that the seller listed several similar items with all SAME photos! I've asked for a full refund as it is written on their website that "if we confirm that the seller's description was inaccurate, the sale will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued." I just received an email from VC saying "They have concluded that the item meets the standards of the brand." and they relisted my item. I request my full refund since your team failed in quality control job.

Condition of jewelry items are not listed correctly. Often times items will have scratches or defects that are not stated in the original listing. Also most of the time, seller does not respond to questions about item that is for sale. And it's impossible to get a response if you have a question for Vestiaire Collective. Tradesy.com is so much more reliable and easy to deal with.

Vestiaire makes up the rules as they go along and apparently their quality control is unable to read. I sold an item, I mentioned small scuffs and supplied 15 pictures in total and 3 exactly showing the scuffs, but apparently their quality control is unable to read or look at the pictures or doesn't know their own rules, or maybe just had a bad day and doesn't give a toss about the rules that are clearly stated and decides there are scuffs. Yes doofus, the scuffs that were pictured and mentioned as according to your rules. I even put a note in where I mentioned that the scuffs were mentioned and pictured, how hard is it to look that up? Seriously, how this company got so big with such horrendous and plainly "challenged" staff is unbelievable, they lie to you through their teeth regularly

I am a seller and have sold almost 10 things. Payment is slow. CS is bot and it's rellay frustrated to reach if you have issues. The COE, the founder and investors are your people only interested if the profit?? Your commission is not cheap. Is high but your service is horrible and so unprofessional. VC authenticator is lame. Shame on you that some of you don't even know the model of the items. SOP sucks! You people item that is authentic. You people don't even read the description of your item. You mentioned in detailed this item is a complete Set and there is no serial number inside the bag bcoz it is a microchip bag. Yet the rejected and insist you to provide the date code serial number etc. Some of the buyer uploaded only 2 pictures of the item without and proper description yet they approved!!!!! If you are a buyer, you will noticed that the item you like is sold by different sellers. Some has never provide serial number and the photos uploaded has no quality etc, yet they approved 🙄. Where is the consistency here in Vestiaire Collective that claimed they are B what so ever? All your reply is a cut and paste.

I have had the same experience several times with VC. I sold an item, which I had left with VC storage, so they shipped the sold item on 25/10/22. Buyer received item on 26/10/22. VC sent me mail on 26/10/22 that my money would be transferred within 24 hours(over £1500) What has happened since, has just been a nightmare. On the 27th i queried why there was no email confirming the transfer(standard practice by VC) i was informed the transfer had been made and a screenshot purporting transfer will be processed on that day sent…Cut a long story short, transfer was never made, as im writing this message i am without my money, VC has taken to ignoring ALL my request to know where is my money. I have received 5 or 6 different messages claiming they understand and they are sorting it and 3 times confirmed its been transferred, all lies. Customer service at VC is a total joke, they are uninformed, disjointed and at the very least incompetent. If anyone else did this with your money, it would be classed as an attempted theft. VC has now held my money for over 6 days, against my wishes(im sure there is an illegality there ) There is no way to contact a sane person at the company and understand what they are doing, they have done this exact thing to me 3 other times, so leads me to believe, its the company’s MO. At the very minimum its very dubious practice, if not illegal. They have literally no resolution platform, apart from a skeleton staff, who just respond abstractly with stock emails of the company’s standard”one size fits all” response. They are literally the worst Customer service of any company in the industry. VC are holding my money and probably, literally millions of other peoples money, against those peoples wishes and all communication to sort it, are simply ignored by VC. This is as close to Sharp practice as it gets in UK law.

I was a former seller with Tradesy and did an enormous amount of sales with them, never had any problems whatsoever...then they were bought by Vestiaire. Wow, what a mistake. No sales, only likes, people asking for ridiculous prices because they have to pay custom fees, customer service is awful. Have switched back to Ebay and Poshmark, slowly removing everything from Vestiaire. If you're on Tradesy and they want you to swtich...DON'T DO IT!!!! Save yourself time and aggravation, go somewhere else to sell. Plus I understand they are going to raise fees too. Tradesy, you did us wrong! I hope you don't go down with the french ship!

Scammers, buyer and sellers beware. I was trying to sell of $450 LV purse and they wanted me to provide $700 in Amex prepaid cards to validate my account for fraud. BS they are the frauds. They were supposed to refund $1200 into my account within 12-24 hours and never happened, Then they wanted $200 more for a greendot? Dont know what that is. No one to speak to, no phone, only email with the same gibberish over and over. FRAUD, SCAMMERS. So I sold a purse for $775 and it went back to Vestiaire so I will not be receiving my $775 for that either. This is the worst experience I have ever had. Too bad they are not still Tradesy, they were great. This new company is a fraud.
