**Selling/consigning** with Fashionphile

also, the title of this thread is a little dramatic and to me seems unjustified. I don't see anything "fraudulent" in what has transpired here, from how you've reported it. I understand being upset by this but it doesn't seem fair to the business to use a word like that.

you may not like that they do not want to sell your bag but calling them fraudulent because they are telling you something you do not want to hear is unfair and borders on defamation.

Fashionphile can reject a bag for whatever reason they see fit, but when
OP accuses them of being fradulent, she should provide the backup to be
fair, but that is entirely up to her at this point.

I agree that FP should be able to accept/reject whichever items they choose. I have never dealt with them, so am unclear about one thing. If they agree/accept an item and you ship it to them, then they decide they do not want it, why is the seller responsible for the return shipping? I guess I could see it if the item is significantly different from the photos, but if it is simply, as FP told the OP, that it is a potential issue with a future buyer, shouldn't FP pay for the return? The bag is authentic and, seemingly, not misrepresented, so I am just curious.
 
My bag passed Chanel quality control to make it to the boutique. I did not see any flaws on my bag. The flaws Sarah outlined, to me sounded a bit vague. Which stitching problem? She wasn't being specific about it.

Actually, I have seen many times (you can see proof on the Chanel subforum) where bags in the boutique are really off in certain areas. Many Chanel members will agree, the quality of Chanel as greatly decreased in the past years, making it much harder to authenticate authentic Chanel and superfakes, given the defects in some authentic Chanel bags. There have been countless threads about misaligned quilted and crooked CC turnlocks- all bags purchased from Chanel boutiques. I have a friend who rejected 5 different jumbo flaps because the caviar was not consistent throughout the bag. So that just tells you that the QC over at Chanel is slipping, although you might have not been aware.

I know you're upset with the situation, but if FP says that there are defects on your bag that makes it hard to sell and they can't accept it, it's a valid reason to reject your bag. If I was a buyer on FP, and saw an authentic Chanel with a crooked CC, I probably wouldn't want it. Why spend thousands of dollar on a purse that looks like it could possibly be a fake?
 
I've never had to return anything to a Chanel boutique. Would they make an exception to their return policy for the OP if her brand new bag is defective, as FP claims? This is not a slight against the OP, but it is possible a trained authenticator noticed flaws the OP didn't see at the time of purchase.

Where did you hear that FP is not paying for the return? Didn't the email that the OP posted say that FP is overnighting her the bag back? They pay for shipping the bag TO them, I don't see why they would charge for shipping it back in a case like this.

"To poster that said they cover shipping both ways. No they do not. Not return shipping at least. they first wanted $40 to ship it back. However i demanded that my bag to be returned to me at no charge because its not my fault they changed their mind. When i got my quote they only had one listed and it wasnt on sale."

Ah - I missed that when I skimmed the thread again. No wonder the OP was so POed.
 
Can someone tell me, do they automatically put payment in PayPal if that was your option or once you get the notification saying account balance, unpaid item do you have to do something for payment?
