The robots at customer service are programmed to tell you once payment has been initiated it may take up to 5-7 business days until you see it in your account. :annoyed:

Good point! I bet that once they start _their_ process for payments, the email goes out. Then there still needs to be internal human processes/initiation of the actual bank transfer. And humans are in short supply everywhere it seems right now.:sad:

I still believe FP is the best at the moment for valuation and immediacy of payment. Until someone here posts about getting really bolloxed with payouts I will keep them on the top of my list for resale. (I have so far had good experiences in NYC but have not yet been to the new showroom.)

I have good experience with FP's Carlsbad office. Quotes are higher than others, the returns are processed immediately (same day) with refunds on the same day, payments are processed upon receipt of goods and paid within a few days via ACH. All with email notifications.

So did I, for a long time. Returns have always been a breeze. It's only when problems occur, either with shipping, quotes, payment times, etc... that you see the bad side of things. You've been lucky enough not to have a problem yet. ;)

I just had Fashionphile quote 2 items I submitted. I plan to accept, but it looks like they want me to ship both of the items together in the same box. Is there any way around this? I feel like I’ve heard horror stories before of them saying they only received 1 bag when both were in there.

I was shocked by the buyout offers from FP for new/in box Hermes 90cm scarves. I don’t know why they bothered. Looking at their resale pricing for this design, they would have a 75% markup based on the offer I received.

Was only parting with them to make room for fall/winter in both my scarf cases and wallet. No thanks.

that FP site is so odd. They had a large Hermes swift o’kelly Necklace new for a little less than half of what it retails for as new claiming the full retail price was $120 less than it actually is with a $100 discount on top of that. New scarves priced noticeably lower than same design in a lesser condition.

meanwhile the 70cm savanna dance scarf I’ve been stalking is stuck at $570. Sigh.

Pretty sure they stubbornly hold on to prices based on +% of what they promised/ paid to the source regardless of where the market or supply has gone in the meantime. So if they stupidly purchase an “ok” condition scarf for $500 and then acquire another exact same one but in excellent condition for $400, they’ll continue to price the “ok” one for $600 and the “excellent“ one for $500 even though it doesn’t make much sense from a buyer POV.

Just ordered a Celine Nano Belt bag for the second time. The first time it was actually a Pico so I returned it and let them know it was mis-labeled and that they still had mis-labeled belt bags listed. Then this week I found a Nano labeled as a Micro but ordered it anyway. Looks like a Nano on the site…we’ll see. I do think FF is spot on with the condition ratings though, in fact I only buy Excellent or better and every piece I’ve purchased has been pristine.

Fashionphile rejected an authentic bag that I sent them (that I personally purchased from the brand store) saying the item had inconsistencies in overall construction :confused1::giggle:

so I paid their stupid $75 fee and won’t be using them again, because I see another bag from the brand listed that is obviously fake that they accepted, so I can only assume their authenticators are not very good.

I would be so livid if they made me pay to get an authentic bag back. I would do it, same as you, but that would be the end of my business with them.

Out of curiosity, did they give you a pretty good quote for it? I’m asking because it seems to be a common thing that has happened to others here lately. FP offers a very good quote for an item, only to reject it for “inconsistencies” upon receiving it because somebody f-ed up and quoted too much and they don’t want to honor it.
