Hi ladies. I sent photos of my Chanel GST to Fashionphile and am happy with the price they're willing to pay me for it. So my question is, have any of you ever sold to them? I know they pay for shipping but what if my bag gets lost in the mail? Then what happens? What have been your experiences? I'm so nervous to ship my beloved Chanel off to sell and end up losing out. Please help!! Thanks!
Just make sure it's insured. If insurance is not included in their mailing label, be sure to buy your own insurance. I'd never send anything valuable in the mail without it. I've not sold things to them but many here have.
Has anyone sold to them? If so, what was your experience? Do you have to pay for your own insurance for the bag you're mailing?
I just recently sold to them for the first time. No, they give you a fedex label to ship your bag. I thought they were good. I would sell to them again.
Thanks for your answer. So with fedex your item is insured? I'm so afraid my bag will get lost in the mail and I'll be SOL.
I'm not sure if it's insured, that's not something I have ever been concerned about to be honest.
If you search this forum... you'll find a number of threads on Fashionphile... both stand alone and within threads about consigning bags.
My recommendation?
Send your pics to several online consignment stores. Compare offers.
Read fine print carefully. e.g. (1) Fine print on Fashionphile stipulates that some of their bags are sold at their retail locations. So... while you can have your bag returned to you, if you change your mind about consignment... there's no guarantee that it won't have been tried on by customers at their retail stores. (2) Fine print on most online consignment stores stipulates that extra insurance is your responsibility. I definitely recommend opting to pay extra to insure expensive items! (You can do this at a shipping & packaging store. Meanwhile, the added benefit to this, is that you can watch someone scan the tracking # of your package. At this point, you can track your package online for peace of mind.)
If you're impatient, some online consignment stores offer buyouts for popular brands. You'll make less in the long run, but peace of mind and money in hand, may be worth it.
GL.

There's a lot of threads about 
I am wondering for those of you who have sold bags to sites like fashionphile, do you insure your packages?

I am selling my Chanel bag to Fashionphile. I sent them 3 pictures, let them know the small issues it has, and they gave me an offer to either consign or direct buy. I chose to do the direct buy and shipped it off with their free FexEx label on Saturday.
With the holiday it's not going to be there until this coming Monday. So I have had [and will still have LOL] quite a bit of time to be worrying about this!
I am worried they are going to get it and say they don't want to buy it, or they will offer me less than the offer they made me. The bag is around 12 years old, and I feel like I don't see very many older bags on their website. It's pretty important to me to get the Christmas money
What are your experiences with selling to them? Have you ever had them get it and decide not to take it, or offer you less? How long does it take for them to pay you? I opted for the direct buy, so if they get it Monday, when would I expect to get the check?

I've never sold to Fashionphile, but for the site I chose to consign my items to,
they gave me a offer / estimate for all the choices (consignment, direct buy etc )
When they received the package, they go through and check the bag for wear & tear and authenticity with their own team THEN they again got back to me on the official amount they could give me (Which was a little higher than the offer)
Assuming they do that, it'll probably take a couple of days after they receive your bag and then the shipping time if they mail you the cheque.
Sorry if it wasn't really helpful because I've never went with Fashionphile.
Hope everything works out!
Hello!
I have sold few items with them. It was very smooth transaction (faster than yoogiscloset). In my case, the amount they promised was deposited to me very shortly. In my opinion, if they sent you quote, they will buy the purse from you. I am not affiliated with them.

Thanks to you both! Looks like the mods moved my post here, I didn't realize this thread was here, it has put my mind at ease
Hello. I just want to share my first time selling experience with Fashionphile. I'm not happy with their service and going forward will look else where. I received a quote for my Chanel necklace for $800. When they received my item today Fashionphile informed me they are only willing to pay $150 because they "claimed" there are major wear and missing stones on my necklace. I was like WHAT!! The necklace I mail out to them was in perfect condition. No stone missing and I took good care of it when I was wearing it. I have inform Fashionphile I want my item back and u pray its not coming back damaged as I will be extremely angry!
