I called and the gal said she couldn’t help me over the phone. I needed to send an email to the buyers. I did so I’ll see what they say.
Canadian here. I've sold to FS, and I've crossed the border and couriered my stuff to them domestically, no issue. The challenge for me was the cheque - it got lost in the mail because I gave them my US office address and our mailroom was um, inefficient. Not their fault. They reissued a cheque no problem. It's in US dollars, and I had a US account at BMO, so depositing was not an issue, and I didn't lose in the currency exchange. I can't speak to TD's practices. Hope that helps?
Hey everyone I'm going to California next month and I was thinking about selling two handbags to Fashionphile. Because I'm not American I was thinking about choosing check as my payment method.
My question is - Does anyone knows what bank Fashionphile uses? Cause I know some banks are almost impossible to cash a check being a foreigner without an american bank account
Regards

Hey! I’m wondering if anyone has ever received a buyout from FASHIONPHILE, shipped their bag off and was then offered a different buyout price than what they were originally quoted? Perhaps because your description was accurate and they found an imperfection on the bag. TIA!
it happened to me once with an LV item. I didn't notice the wear on a wallet like they did but I was ok with the reduced amount, it wasn't a big reduction in price.
I had sent in a few LV pieces that a neighbor didn't want anymore and told me to sell them or whatever, she didn't care so it was free money for me.
I've had the offer reduced only one time (out of over 150 items sold) and it was only $50 and they contacted me and asked for approval first. On the other hand, on several occasions they have actually paid me MORE than offered, twice over $100 more, without explanation. Can't complain about those! 
That's the reduction amount they gave me too, and they notified me and said (I think) that I could refuse and they would return the wallet. And yes, I've gotten a bit more money from them after they've received my items, I've always had good luck with them.I've had the offer reduced only one time (out of over 150 items sold) and it was only $50 and they contacted me and asked for approval first.

I’ve sold tons of bags to them and only one was reduced. I asked them to return it.
Not happy with the way they returned it either......no padding and did not even place the bag in the dustbag.....it bounced around in the box from west to east coast. It was a birkin to boot.
Oh wow on getting a better price than quoted....that has never happened to me ever.
I did get a thank you note one time for taking really good photos of the bag I submitted.

I've sold about 7 bags with FP. Last year I was quoted a price on YSL. When they saw the bag in person, I was paid out a higher price than quoted!
Apologies if this isn’t allowed on this forum. I wanted to see what your experiences have been like to sell your bags on sites such as Fashionphile. This is all new to me but I realized that my Boy Chanel hasn’t been used in a few years (I probably had used twice) and it’s provably time to let this beauty go.
Any advice on how to sell?
(I’m based in US).
Thanks in advance!!

It is extremely easy to sell to Fashionphile. Submit pictures and they will give you a quote. If you accept it you mail it in with the label they provide and once they get it and check it over they send you the money. However, their quotes are not very high since they also have to make money on the sale of the bag. If you want fast and easy it is the way to go. If you want top dollar I would recommend trying to sell it yourself.
Personally, I prefer selling to FP, yoogis, or the like for the peace of mind in not having to deal with the potential of fussy buyers, buyers’ remorse, getting scammed, etc. on eBay or other platforms. eBay is not very seller friendly any more and notoriously sides with buyers. To me, losing a few hundred to consignment sites is better than possibly being out $ for the whole bag or fighting tooth and nail with problematic buyers.
I agree that selling it yourself will net you the best/higest price - but then you have to hope you don't get scammed. Or have a buyer who uses for a while then returns for a full refund.....yeah this happens. Read the ebay forum!
I sell to FF a lot and they pay very quickly, it's hassle free. I've gotten some offers from FF that I felt were too low so I passed. But for the most part I have to say I've been happy with the quotes she provided me. They are easy to deal with.
