Was quick and easy process to return. Was refunded quickly and they provide return label. I just reused the box they sent the item in and shipped it off. I was able to track it back and their communication was constant.

I’ve sold about 60 new or used items to them over the past 8 years ( some returns) and have never had a problem with getting refunded ( sold 3 items this year so far). My items used to go to California from Georgia but now are returned to New Jersey so turn around time from shipping to refund ( funds availability) is about 6 or 7 days for me
easy and fast. I have never had a problem, but I believe others have had issues
Has Fashionphile started asking people for their social security numbers or tax ID numbers yet this year? I'm just curious because I haven't sold them anything yet this year. I'm curious as to how they're going to send people 1099s.
also note they have a return limit. I think it's 6 items within 6 months? something like that. just read up on their terms and like the others said, as long as you're returning everything that came in your shipment, you'll be fine. I have received my refunds relatively quickly.
I sold 4 bags to Fashionphile. I brought them in person to the site in Manhattan. Of course I got a fraction of what I paid and my bags were in pristine condition with receipts, cards, dust bags, everything. They have to make money, I get that but they price the used bags sometimes more than what they sell for in the boutiques. I get that it's because of demand but what happened to the concept of pre loved? It's supposed to be for people who cannot afford new. That annoys me. I agree that humans make mistakes and they may authenticate or claim a bag is not authentic and be wrong. That's why I never buy pre owned. I have trust issues!! BUT for the first time, I decided to by the Louis Vuitton XS Water Color Keep All in "New" condition and I put it on reserve. I'm scared to death but I love this bag so much and as usual it's sold out. I didn't receive it yet.
The big question I have is where does FP get these "new" or "giftable" bags from . Are there people that buy a brand new bag then decide later on they don't want it and give it up for 40% less?? Or people get it as a gift and need the money so they sell it to FP? It makes no sense to me that's why I'm skeptical.

OMG, I sold 4 bags to them in 2021. I wasn't asked for my tax info. That's crazy!! I lost hundreds of dollars on the bags I sold and now I'll have to pay tax on the income???
I sold 3 bags and a pouch. Of course I didnt get great money but I only saw my Chanel pouch listed. I never saw the other 3 bags and it's been about a year. I was wondering what happened to them.
I have bought few “new” Chanel and Gucci from them before. The items were probably displays at the store (NM) or people just returned them. They didn’t look like 100% new, I would say 99% in my case. But still, it was 100% authentic, I double checked.
I am not a financial adviser
As I understand, You pay income tax only if you made money on your bags. So, if you “lost” money, you don’t pay.But you know the saying...you're supposed to buy bags because you love them and not for what you may be able to sell them for down the roadthese birkins and chanels better to keep going up prices and people keep buying them otherwise lots of people are going to lose money sitting on huge amount of leather goods have no value to people who don't care about them hahaha I do care about them and just bought 2 more hermes bags this year, lets prey more people are into bags bags and ultra expensive bags!!
I've always wondered this, too. I think some of the "new" bags they list are bags that were purchased on impulse and then the buyer has buyer's remorse. Also, FP may have employees who regularly stalk the LV site (and other sites) throughout the day to snag items the second they pop up, then list the item for a profit since it's so impossible to find. I've purchased a couple of older bags (2-3 years old) from them that were listed in "Excellent" condition and they looked new when they arrived. Not sure if the previous owner just rarely carried them or why they were in such pristine condition.
If there's an item you dearly want at the LV website, make a direct link to it on your taskbar or phone and check it frequently throughout the day. Occasionally they get a return or list an item and you may catch it. I've had that happen with a few items on their site and when I checked afterward, it was showing sold out again, so they literally had only listed one item and I was able to catch it.
BTW, I wouldn't worry about the item you have on reserve. I've found that they normally underestimate the condition of an item so if it was listed in New condition, it really should be. Also, I was told recently by a Fashionphile Representative (when I was considering putting a bag on reserve) that if you have an item on reserve and it later turns out that it wasn't in the condition described in their ad, they will allow a return.
I Buy all of my LV from the LV boutique in NM but NM never has displays of LV. I also know my LV store will never look at a bag that's brought in. They said they are not allowed. I actually bought a Chloe Pixie from TJmaxx for half price and decided I didnt want it and sold it to FP for $700 so I got my money back, but only because I bought it half price. LV never goes on sale. Where would FP get these "new" LVs from? That worries me. How did you verify it was authentic?
