Hi, does anyone have a purchasing experience with luxurytholic, ig seller? They seem legit but I saw the previous comment that she sells the fakes? Hope it's not true.

I am going through the same thing right now with Luxurytholic, and I’m really stressed about it. This is my first time dealing with a PS, and I paid for my bag over a month ago and have received virtually no updates on the order. She said it would arrive in 2-3 weeks and had to be shipped to her first from Korea...and that hasn’t happened. Mind you, it would then need to be shipped from HK to the US. I told her I was uneasy with this and have asked for updates every week and pretty much gotten none or been told to “just wait a bit longer.” This week, I asked to cancel the order and for a refund because I’m not comfortable with this transaction at this point. When I’d asked for an invoice initially when I purchased, she didn’t do so. I’m patient, but I’m also not trying to get scammed out of nearly $5K. I saw so many trusted reviews for luxurytholic from other members and on the Chanel FB group, and so I thought she was a trusted seller. I don’t know what to do at this point.

I have asked for updates every week and pretty much gotten none. Last week, I asked again and was told to “just wait a bit longer.” This is starting to feel off to me, so I sent a message this week asking to cancel the order and for a refund because I’m not comfortable with this transaction at this point. I still have not heard a response (to this or my last three messages). When I’d asked for an invoice initially when I purchased, she didn’t do so.

Hi guys,
So I previously questioned about luxurytholic (aka Eunice).. And here is the update.
I decided to pull the trigger.. I purchased a bag from her and paid through Paypal GS (7% additional fee). Everything went so smooth. I received a bag on time, and this bag is authentic. From my experience, luxurytholic is a reliable seller.

Sad to have to report this, but I would steer clear of IG seller:
luxurygoodies_london

I worked with them/her to source an SLG earlier this year and it went well.

In early February I put down a deposit for the 21P gold mini which was supposed to be arriving any day. A month in, I inquired on status and there was none, and she offered to refund my deposit, which I declined at the time.

Flash forward to this week, another IG posted the bag and I was able to secure it thru her. I immediately wrote luxurygoodies_london to tell her she can stop looking and to go ahead with refunding the deposit and she blew up on me. I suspect she will not refund my deposit as she indicates.

So just be warned not to work with her unless she can locate something in stock right now, because apparently she loses her mind if something doesn’t arrive in two months and you ask to cancel.

I am sorry about this. I hope and think what she is saying is that she will refund your deposit minus the amount that PayPal no longer returns when a purchase is refunded (they keep the 2.9% always now). I hope you are only out that part of the fee (I think that is what she is saying), wishing you good luck!

As of two days later she has not refunded the deposit, fortunately it was not too much.

So, PSA - do not do business with luxurygoodies_london
