hello, i think you have to be careful as i have read on this forum (different theads/ designers) that there were fakes being sold and their refund policy is strict generally unless paypal is used. I read a review by someone being sold a fake tiffany watch, and some others who bought fake chanel and hermes.
i know that on VC there is a general problem with givenchy antigona´s from Italy where you have some sellers selling fakes (often multiple antigonaçs by the same seller). They still have 90% and 100% ratings even though the comments from buyers indicate that they have gotten scammed - 2 users in particular (I feel uncomfortable naming them but you can look for them under antigona´s) who had negative experiences and are asking VC to be more watchful in helping prevent the sale of fakes - they actually say that VC is sometimes also deleting their comments. You can see the majority of the comments by filtering antigona´s. The bags of Italian and Cypriot origin all have the same code, and the seller is selling multiple bags which were all gifts.
I would first look at seller rating and would not buy if it is under 100% personally. Having said this, the sellers of fake also have 100% currently too (the sellers these 2 women flagged). I would ask for codes and ask detailed questions and for the authenticity cards and probably beware of sellers selling multiple versions of the same bag which they had received as "gifts".
Given how expensive these bags/ investment pieces are I think as buyers we have a right, especially if vc has a strict no refund policy (unless paypal is used). I would probably beware of an unresponsive seller or someone who does not provide the needed info.
Sorry for the long rant, but these stories scared me off buying bags from vc.
Now having said that, i have sold with them - articles in very good condition/ original tags attached. That was easy and the payment is per their payment schedule two times a month. I did not have the receipts any more for my items unfortunately.
So in the end, I would probably buy but assume the role of doing the due diligence myself
