Hello, anyone bought from IG user luxurypl38 before? She also has a YouTube channel with the same name. She has a bag I’m loving but she doesn’t use PayPal. Only Transferwise. I don’t feel safe transferring money without any buyer protection. Just seeing if anyone has bought a bag from her before and item came as described and authentic? Thank you!
I haven't bought from her, but I would err on the side of caution. I paid with Venmo/Zelle once, and I don't think I will ever do it again unless I have built a solid relationship with the shopper. The shopper that I used Venmo/Zelle with was very slow with updates. I always felt like I was bothering her, and I just did not vibe with her. Make sure you get a good vibe when talking to the shopper to see if you vibe well. The other shopper (used Paypal Invoice) I used was extremely professional, and updated me even when I didn't ask for it, and I would be more open to using bank transfer since I trust her.

Just wanted to post that I purchased my dark pink chevron mini from ayainlove and she was so sweet and pleasant to deal with. I had tried finding it in chanel stores in the states but it was unavailable. She was very responsive and my packaged arrived so quickly too! I bought it from her on Monday and received it on Friday (shipped from Australia via DHL). I paid her via PayPal which was reassuring and also saw that a number of reputable PS and influencers followed her on Instagram as well.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Orchmelia. Her attitude was very off-putting, never answered my questions and did not take me as a serious buyer. Do you guys know any other personal shopper?
I felt that way too with her unfortunately :( There are very good recommendations if you look through this thread! Maybe miryena_fashionlover. I haven't bought from her, but heard good reviews.

Got my first ever Chanel purse from TimelessLikeAudrey today! She was so helpful and patient throughout the entire transaction and would respond in a very timely manner. After a bit of inspection I found the description and pictures she initially provided to be very accurate (like new condition!) and the purse was packaged very nicely. I was worried about customs but shipping was a breeze and it was done through DHL so it only took a few days to arrive :biggrin: Overall it was a wonderful experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from her again
