I read a lot of these threads, and find them very useful when I am about to purchase a bag. I had a bad experience with Vestiaire Colelctive, and felt the ened to share it here.
Beware of Vestiaire Collective - I am no longer going to shop with them. I had read several negative reviews about the website before, but decided to try them out anyway. They had a promotoin going on, so I decided to purchase an item. Vestiaire Collective is failing to honour this promotion. I should have heeded the warnings made by previous customers to not use their website. I would recomend Depop, or even ebay, over Vestiaire Collective.

I always make everyone a counter offer that is like 1€ cheaper. When they accept my offer, I can still receive and reply to other offers. I don't accept offers for this exact reason anymore, I just make a counter offer that is almost the same (I mean 1€ doesn't make any difference when it is already an expensive piece and usually doesn't affect the comission).
People seem to like making offers. Almost everything I have sold was through an offer. I always have a little air in my prices so that I can lower them and both me and the buyer feel we have a good deal!
I do like it when the seller says make an offer, but I am one of those people who has just made a good offer (well I thought so) only £20 cheaper then the original price, never ever made an offer before on VC always paid full price. The thing I don't like with this offer thing is when I in particular make an offer that's as high as I will go, I don't like all this going backwards and forwards....perhaps because I am from the UK don't know but find it rude. I gave the price which I was and could afford to pay so wish she had just decline the offer instead of trying to lower it, then lower it again not into all that I am afraid.
Plus when you make an offer you cannot write anything like this is as high as I can go which seems daft but then VC do have this thing where they delete a conversation or question they don't like even if its polite and a normal question most strange
That's kinda true. I wish there was a comment possibility in the offers!I do like it when the seller says make an offer, but I am one of those people who has just made a good offer (well I thought so) only £20 cheaper then the original price, never ever made an offer before on VC always paid full price. The thing I don't like with this offer thing is when I in particular make an offer that's as high as I will go, I don't like all this going backwards and forwards....perhaps because I am from the UK don't know but find it rude. I gave the price which I was and could afford to pay so wish she had just decline the offer instead of trying to lower it, then lower it again not into all that I am afraid.

Now that I think of it, making an offer is good for another reason too -you see whether the seller is responsive or not. If I buy something, I want to be sure the seller sends it and I don't have to wait my refund for a month....
Why did they fail to honor the promotion? I purchased a bag with a promotion last week; it was honored and I got my bag in a timely manner (I did be sure to check that the seller was responsive in advance though).
I suppose when your offer is literally £20 lower than it's kind of rude to bargain.I do like it when the seller says make an offer, but I am one of those people who has just made a good offer (well I thought so) only £20 cheaper then the original price, never ever made an offer before on VC always paid full price.

So here's my logic on higher value items. Let's assume my price is £1500. You gave me £1300. Rather than decline I'm trying to actually respect you and give the idea what my lowest price would be and send back £1400 - if the item is attractive to you, maybe you'd want to stretch yourself. Ideally the price would be in the sensible range and negotiations wouldn't need to happen but sometimes it's hard to gauge - you see sold items in the range of your initial price but then when you put item in the same condition + all paperwork that those items wouldn't have, you won't get anyone interested.
Due to a commission and Vestiaire pushing the initial price super low you fight for those extra 00s.
I wonder if OP did not put in the discount code during checkout? Maybe she thought the discount was applied afterwards. Otherwise how can the price be higher than the total reflected when paying after the discount code is applied?
Oh WOW Romar that's brilliant. I shall refer to what you have written and try the offer thing if I buy from VC again. I have been waiting weeks for a reply from VC regarding a dress I have on my watch list, had it their for ages. VC have it now and the seller not responding to VC...so that one sounds a bit "iffy" to me...posted about it a couple of pages ago...anyway thank you so much again. I think I still prefer Ebay for Alexander McQueen clothes and have 7 on my watching page but all in the US so customs to the UK are huge...still who knows might win the lottery this week
Ooooh what MCQueen pieces are you watching?
Has anyone else been hit with an extra import duty/tax upon arrival? The item in question arrived from France on US soil today, scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but I just got an e-mail from DHL saying that I owe $193 in import duties/taxes, but I already paid those via Vestiaire which is reflected on my invoice (and also $100 over DHL's price mind you, but that's not the point). After reading some of the posts on this thread I'm worried about VC's customer service and I'd really like to have this resolved ASAP to avoid shipment delays 
LOL
jamamcg......I have 3 Alexander McQueen dresses on my watching page, it was 4 but the buyer wanted to go back and forth when put in an offer just £20 from the asking price. I have bought 2 things from VC before and always bought at what the buyer ask for, so thanks to 2 people on here decide to try the offer thing, only offer £20 lower then the asking price and she was going backwards and forwards wanting just a bit more...I don't do that if I make an offer that's what I think the item worth and what I can afford at the time, find it rude, but their you go. I am addicted to Alexander McQueen clothes and clutches and Fendi Spy bags. This is one of the items I did buy of VC and its the most stunning dress. Their one on Ebay for sale and its cheaper.....then I got it for most annoying..lol....
