The other side of that argument is with such a high volume business, you can easily afford to hire more help and straighten out the issues... Yoogi's is smaller, but I had a better experience with them. I guess it comes down to the old saying "bigger is not always better."

Sorry... that's exactly why I hesitated posting any comparison there- because I'm not saying that "bigger is better" at all. That wasn't the intention of my post. What I was trying to say is that when you sell a lot, statistically- you're just going to have more opportunity to have issues... even though they'll be a very small percentage of the total. When you're dealing with smaller numbers it's just less likely.

Anyway, I don't want to say anything more about Yoogi- because they do good work.

Just wanted to add that I am responding to more of many of your posts here. It's just taking me a while to get through them. I'm not ignoring your comments... just still working through them.

Before l make my comment, l would like to say OP, and others that have had problems with FP.....l understand and can see why you are upset/angry etc.....you do not expect this to happen, but sadly sometimes it does.
The point l wanted to make is, l assume OP you now have your money, and other poster's moved on to other consigners.
But when someone calls themselves members here, and are active and they scam, or give a bad service, why cant they be named if it is proven to be true, and made amends like Sarah has.....l am not affiliated with FP in any way, but just wondered why, when a seller does wrong they are named, but members are not.
It just seems unfair, but that is JMHO:smile1:

^^^ I have gotten another payment from FP. I am waiting to see if it is "good" or not. I might have my money, or I might not.

I appreciate FP trying to provide answers to some posters' questions. I was puzzled, however, about the statement about the paying paypal & ebay fees by FP since that has never been done for me.

I don't know what you are referring to wrt members who scammed or gave bad service being protected by this site. Maybe you should pm one of the mods directly, and they can help you out.

Also keep in mind what I talked about in my posts just happened within the last week or so - check from FP bouncing. Hopefully, the replacement payment will stick, & I can just move on.

Haven, I think you have nothing to worry about. As you can tell from my posts, I am no fan of Fashionphile, but I do believe they will make things right with you. I just think things shouldn't have gone wrong to begin with.

Sorry Haven, l did not make myself clear, and there is a thread regarding outing members who scam, so l hope Mods take this on board.
l was trying to make a point really, that FP is a member and a seller, who have not performed well in your case, and l would not have liked it to happen to me.
But we are allowed to make comments about them etc, and thats fine.
But this should be across the board, not just for big sellerss/members like FP.
Perhaps l should not have got on my soapbox in your thread, and l hope l have not made you feel like l was being negative to you, which is certainly not the case.
Hope l have made myself clearer:smile1:

Hmmm... this is interesting, I've purchased once from them and the transaction was wonderful.

I've had some issues recently with the current site I'm using to sell off some of my bags, so I thought I would try to sell some bags here, but it seems like they have the same issues with regards to timing checks. I guess I need to rethink this!

Thanks everyone for the honest information!

I personally don't think Fashionphile is really that great in terms of prices on used designer bags. I went to their website to check out their bbag collections and they're only a few hundred dollars off the brand new one. For that measly few hundred dollars, I rather put my trust in the retailer stores where I can get a brand spanking new one with no flaws at full price.

i agree i notice that too . 30 percent is a rip off !!! even amazon takes only 20 percent when you sell something and with amazon you dont have paypal fees .
thanks for letting us know about that.

I'm sorry that you had some bad experiences with FP. I have done business with them for a couple of years, both buying and selling. I have never run into any issues that you'd described. They have always been very easy to work with and I was completely satisfied with each transaction. Every time I had a question, I called and Julie or one of the SA would have the answer for me right away. I do pay a little more for their merchandise but I like the service and trust that their stuff is authentic.

I like Fashionphile and had good experiences with them, I sold several bags fairly quickly. But the checks do seem to take a long time to arrive since they only go out twice a month. That's the real drawback, you have to not need the money right away and have lots of patience. :smile1:

I have never purchased or sold with Fashionphile but after these comments and others I have read I probably will not.

As far as being able to comment on TPF re:business transactions with a company as opposed to an individual (member)- NOT the same. I think it would be different if FP was listed under the indivduals name as opposed to the business name. They are on here representing the business - obviously - and promoting it. That is what happens when you have a business and have unhappy customers.

I am thankful this post is here as I have been thinking about purchasing a bag through either here or Yogis Closet and this helped make my decision.

OMG, hearing this definitely gives me pause about them. What terrible business practices!

I need to vent. I put several LV bags on consignment with Fashionphile. I am supposed to get checks issued on the 1st & 15th of every month if I sell a bag.

I have received one check on time. All other checks I have had to call & have gotten some B.S. answer from them about why the check was not issued. Finally this last check was the last straw.

They sent me a check issued more than 5 days late (after I called) for bags that were sold more than 2 weeks prior. I should have been paid at the beginning of June & not near the end of the month.

I just got an email from them saying that the check was going to bounce. Over $1000 check from Fashiophile was going to bounce. So I called. They did not want to reissue the check b/c they were afraid of double payment - even though they knew that the check was going to bounce. Just in case somehow it goes through, they wanted me to wait two more weeks for payment. I demanded that they put a stop payment on the check that was going to bounce & issue me a new one - which they said they would do.

Fashiophile may be a good place to find LV deals or limited LV, but they are a bunch of pricks when the deal with the sellers. I still cannot believe that they sent me a check that was no good. Don't buy from them.
