I checked those listings, it looks like the seller listed it on her own in June 2017 and when it did not sell she sent it in to the concierge service and they listed it December 2017 (for a higher price). It is almost certainly the same dress. VC would not be monitoring Anna's listings so it would be up to her to take down the previous listing, since presumably she no longer has that one since she sent it to Vestiaire. I hope that helps.

You're welcome.
For the price difference, my suggestion is that listing through VC concierge service directly takes a higher commission than selling directly and that VC likely sets the price where an individual seller may set a lower price to try to encourage a fast sale. Try the offer button and time it when there is also a site-wide discount code and you may get a better price.

The fakes keep popping up on VC! Just noticed an unmistakenly non authentic Chanel bag for an incredible low price on the site. It even has the "We love" sticker... I cannot believe it! Many comments, questioning the authenticity, have been deleted by VC!! All alarmbells should start ringing....

Looks like someone just bought it! The authenticity card looks suspect to me but I am not a chanel expert.
What is the tip off for you other than the price?

The material/leather.. -Lack of- description. Price. Authenticity card. Look at the other item this seller has sold, like the Chanel backpack: Comments made, which are deleted almost instantly by VC. But the authencity card really gives it away...

OK that seller also has two other quilted chanel "timeless" bags, another sold as well. The dustbag for the backpack looks really fake. What an embarrassment for VC! Why are they deleting comments rather than taking down the fake bags? The commission they would make on a few fake bags is not worth their reputation.

All the Chanel bags this seller has for sale/sold are fake and they are poorly constructed fakes, too. Instead of wasting time on price negotiations with us, their curation team should do a crash course on how to detect (previous obvious) fakes to keep their website clean and reverse their reputation that is heading down the drain.
I do believe that once these bags are sent in, their authenticators will cancel the sales. I guess we'll see whether the links/bags have been removed, or not when we check back a few weeks from now....

who dares wins:biggrin: I've actually never been scammed, but had a couple of nasty chargebacks, and some buyers made me accept returns using fake reasons, but they did return what they bought and in same condition. Most transactions go smooth (fingers crossed)

Yes, those charge backs and buyer's remorse scenarios are also reasons I'm staying far away from Ebay for items I can't afford to lose.

So my mom used the site for the first time to buy a preloved Metis. She bought it on the 18th but the woman she bought it from still hasn't shipped it and my mom is getting less and less hopeful that she even will. I have never used the site before so I know nothing about it so I was wondering if anyone here have had a similar experience where the seller have been slow with shipping?

If I was you and you cannot get any response from the seller would just do a charge back with PayPal....I really hope you paid that way....then tell VC what you have done.....don't wait for VC as they will tell you, you have to wait 30 days Don't wait act now if the seller has not responded to you....this happens a lot on VC and if you go the VC route it will drag on for months, just contact PayPal and tell them you cannot get in touch with seller if you cannot and VC will refund you straight away through PayPal.......I hope it works out....try reading some of the experiences people have had with VC on here.

My mom used a Swedish system called Klarna (it's like paypal) and is paying in instalments so no money has been charged yet. But how do I contact the seller? It feels like I've checked her page a hundred times but I can't find a message option or something similar…

And thanks, I will go back and read through some posts and see what people say!
