Something about Purseonfleek freaks me out, she appears to be very abrasive and delusional. Surprised there are people out there who support her 
I agree, something is very odd with her.Something about Purseonfleek freaks me out, she appears to be very abrasive and delusional. Surprised there are people out there who support her
That is great that Hermes is putting a stop to that. But are those terms only in Australia? Because then wouldn’t it be wrong that there’s so many brand new Hermes handbags for sale at extreme markups all over the US? Fashionphile and TRR sell Birkins and Kellys at outrageous prices. What about all of the resellers on eBay selling bags who are clearly buying just to resell? I wish they’d put a stop to that here.
The 2 letters seem to be a legal strategy for dealing with someone evidentially they are building a case to cover themselves in case of any future problems. That is almost a separate issue and very specific to an individual.
When you see an agency (consignment) reselling a bag, even if H think they know who they sold it to they cannot prove it's that person ultimately selling the bag. If someone uses their own name (or professional name s/he known by) on a social media site, of course H has recourse thorough its T&C. YTers and other influencers that sell through their own name are leaving themselves wide-open.
Nope. As a matter of fact, in the US that letter would put Hermes on the hook for loosing the item and the sale in the event the customer initiated a chargeback. In the US POS terms and conditions only are only applicable when it comes to returns, exchanges and repairs/warranty. If a company instructs the customer on how to use their item after it’s sold that is a violation of pretty much all TOS for credit card processors (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX) here. The consumer can chargeback, allegeding they can’t use their product as they intended, and they will get their money back and keep the product.
Similar to the stories of Chanel denying repairs in Europe. Again, that will not fly in the US. If your item is damaged after POS (manufacturers defect), the brand refuses a return, and you’re within warranty period the credit card company will side with you and refund while you keep the item that was not as described.
I think we don’t appreciate how amazing our consumer protection laws are in comparison to the rest of the world.
I am wondering if they (Hermes) decided to specificly target Purseonfleek because she publicly airs her dealings with H. There is also the possibility that she has not disclosed everything in her videos and there might be more things that has occured that prompted these actions from H. She agreed to the terms of conditions when she bought the items from H. After the first letter about the lipstick, then getting banned from H Sydney, she still proceeded to sell the Garden Party.
Honestly, I don't know how some of these Youtubers stretch out a video for so long for one single point - really is a whole load of sound and fury signifying nothing...
My main confusion on Mel getting this letter is that in the Reetzy Hermes Facebook Group, there's DOZENS of posts daily of people selling their items - mostly all at some kind of markup with the exception of a few items. There are luxury influencers selling quota bags on their Instagram pages. Heck, there's even one who posts here frequently that has sold her quota bags via IG. Not sure why these people are not getting these letters when they are selling quota bags for $25k+ and Mel is merely selling a bag at retail just to recoup her costs. I know that Mel has done some shady things in terms of selling boxes, dustbags, dupes on her eBay store, but this just seems a little off to me.
If a company feel a lawsuit coming on, they'll start to amass evidence, no matter how small, that will justify their action taken
Hermes could have also chosen to blacklist her because she has repeatedly openly spoken about her bad interactions with Hermes. I would think that most people would be too embarrassed about being blacklisted by any brand as it has quite a negative connotation. She, on the other hand, will without a doubt openly talk about it on social media. It seems that maybe Hermes wants her to become a cautionary tale that is widely shared and remembered. A reseller that has no public face and only exists on private Facebook groups would not reach such a large audience if they were to be banned. The once ambiguous “blacklist” is now unquestionable and will surely dissuade some people from reselling.
I’m surprised she was still able to buy anything from them after her previous fiasco.
I think it’s really sad what happened. H allows the bots to constantly grab any popular item that shows up online but bans someone passing on a bag at cost. Regardless of how you feel about Mel, this action is hypocritical.
Hermes is definitely tracking her as they KNEW she sold the bag without even receiving it from Hermes. The company knew that the bag was for sale without Mel even taking possession of it. WoWWW! I find this so interesting! I work on Wall Street - so in fact she "short sold" Hermes - and I am saying this again from a previous conversation. She is shorting the company's stock (brand). This brand does not PLAY. I love the brand and the products - all catagories. H must have been very angry that Mel had very popular videos at H's expense - they finally said "shut her down". AND they took steps to shut down her husband as well and ALL of their credit cards to purchase the items. They used technology to track her cards! I really feel that CHANEL will follow suit and ban her as well!
I though purseonfleek was done with Hermes the last time they made her cry? Why was she still buying from them?
