Here's the thread I was thinking about: Opinions on Fashionphile?. Specifically, No. 18 was the poster who had such a good experience with a direct sale. 
They won't do a direct sale on everything. You have to email them and they will let you know if they will buy it from you. Sometimes they prefer that you consign it with them. It really depends on what you have an how quickly they think they can sell the item after they buy it from you. I've dealt with them before and they are really great to deal with.
I think Fashionphile will generally do direct sale for LVs. I also sent a Jimmy Choo in, but they wanted to do consignment on that one because of the uncertainty of the end auction price.
I was offered a direct sale price for my LV, and I decided to go with the auction instead. But then I got too stressed watching the auction. And I e-mailed Fashionphile halfway through and asked if I could still take the direct sale price. Not a problem, I chose payment by paypal, and it was deposited within a few minutes of my e-mail to them.

I think you are right. I recently consigned a pretty rare Prada bag with them and they didn't want to do a direct sale on it because of the uncertainty of the end sale price. Emily at Fashionphile also said that I could potentially get more money by consigning it. I'm still waiting for them to list it, so we'll see. I'll probably be going crazy while the auction is running!
Do you have to paid paypal a fee for the amount they transfer to your account also do they email you and let you know if they receive your package or update you with the process?
They email you and let you know when they receive your item, and then they should also email you when they list it. If you consign it and they list it as an auction, you pay the listing, fvf, and PayPal fees incurred to sell it plus they take 30% of the sale price. Then they mail you a check. If they do a direct sale, you may have to pay PP fees depending on what type of PP account you have. If your PP account it one that's just for buying I don't think you have to pay any fees, but you may want to check what type of account you have.
Considering selling a few bags from my collection, but it seems like there are so many of you having problems with buyers of you authentic bags. Has anyone used fashionphile to direct sell or consign a high end bag?
Thanks for your thoughts....

Well it depends on how much you want for your bags?
The reason I sell them myself is I want the best possible price.
Remember that there are fees associates with any consignment.
They vary in range: some charge as high as 30% (other range from 8-25%) also some charge on top of the consignment fee: the ebay listing fees, ebay final valuation fees and paypal fees...hence does not leave you with much.
Remember you also must be patient, as not everything sells over night
Also note that when it does sell, it must be shipped, feedback must be left and then the funds go finally go to you.
Fashionphile is the Queen of Consignments. (just my humble opinion

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.
