Hello! I saw a bag that I liked on 1stdibs.com and I'm curious if anyone has had a successful transaction with them? Please share your thoughts!
Thank you!

Thank you! I'm still thinking about it because the price is quite steep and plus I'll have to deal with the import taxes in my country which is criminal to my pocket to say the least! I've been trying to look for it on other places but can't seem to find it. Thank you for your advice! It is much appreciated!Never a bag from 1st dibs, but jewellery, lighting, furniture, decorative objects, with no problem. You’re dealing with individual merchants, so be mindful about reading reviews, asking questions and for more photos if needed. You can also make an offer. Most dealers don’t accept returns in my experience.
The 1st dibs platform does give you some buyer protection, but doing your own due diligence is vital. Also, like with any platform that has international suppliers, be aware of any import duties, tarifs, or other costs.
Good luck!
Thank you so much! I remember you from a while back! You helped me out with so many queries and I'm glad to hear from you again, papertiger!Transactions are with/through the seller, not 1stdibs. You can negotiate.
Just to note,t 1stdibs is an agency-online-platform for professional sellers who usually sell through it at a substantial mark-up to their own or other sites. Look for the item elsewhere, you may be able to save quite a lot of money.
Also, check shipping and duties which can also bulk-up the price further.
Hi, I'm considering a bag from a seller in Dubai on 1st dibs. How was your experience? I hope you see this and answer!Thank you so much! I remember you from a while back! You helped me out with so many queries and I'm glad to hear from you again, papertiger!
Thank you for explaining all of this! The seller I'm wanting to buy the item is in Dubai so I've never bought from anyone there so gotta know everything first before I jump in.
Thank you again for all your help! Good to hear from you again!
