This story reminded me of an experience I witnessed whilst working in high end ladies shoes.
The shoes department spans the whole floor with one end has all the high end brands and the other end with cheaper brands including this particular local brand which ALWAYS copies the high ends.

During the sales, this young lady tried Miu Miu shoes from our area and then proceeded to the register on the other side of the floor to pay.
Luckily the cashier checked, what she did was that, she has earlier on tried the cheap brand that looks exactly like the Miu Miu shoes and then put the actual Miu Miu shoes inside the cheap brand box - so that she would pay the cheap brand price for the real Miu Miu shoes!!!

What struck me so strong is that, she looked like my age (this was many moons ago when I was still young n at uni :biggrin:) and yet she already so brazenly commiting fraud!
Shocking!

This is so shocking! I can't imagine how someone would be this shameless!

I’m so sorry for the late reply!!! I just saw this!

You’re probably back from your little vacation now - hope you had a great time!
Wonder which bag(s) and Chanel RTW did you take :girlsigh:

N how did you go with the ‘vacation mode’?

Noted of this dodgy seller :mad:

N I finally received my hat!
It was a bit squashed as it was packed in an envelope satchel from VC.
Then DHL repacked it in a tiny box n the brim had bents at some areas.
Ugh - n I paid €35 for the shipping... :frown:

Sorry to hear about the hat being squashed and bent. Has it returned to its original shape and are you going to keep it?

I just submitted Dolce & Gabbana trousers to Vestaire and their "curation" team came back with the suggestion I should sell them for 30 Euros, 9 Euros for me, 4 months ago I paid 625 GBP for them at Harrods, I think they're off their rocker. They possibly have an office party and all had a few shandies...

Hi! Does anyone know if I will still get charged a customs duty if I purchase from a US seller and I’m based in the US?

I’m not sure because I think they send everything to Paris to do quality checks and also when I was at checkout, I didn’t see the option to opt in paying for duties.

You will not be charged duty for a purchase from a US seller.

I thought they have US offices too and while there might be a delay, if the item is shipped just for checking purposes, there should be no import duty

I wouldn't, they changed a lot, I listed a few things and in the headlines the removed the model names of a Celine bag and a DvF bag, and now they seem to do massive price dumping and trying to get you to sell seriously expensive items for next to nothing.

I talked to a few friends who used both, VC and Rebelle, and they said something has changed in the last few months and Rebelle is totally going downhill.
Click to expand...

Rebelle have sneakily increased their percentage A LOT, they claim they updated the software with the result that it doesn't work anymore and you can't search for items, they also totally price dump, still claiming to be a start up but after over 5 years how can they be a start up? I think there might be financial problems because the last items I sold, it took weeks after they were sent to the buyer (you can see it on the website, their mail that it was sent to the buyer was over a week later and payment then a week later), they seem to try to sell more but as cheaply as possible, Bought an item there that really wasn't leather or authentic but slipped through and having the merry claim back, as they claim their team checked, at the Chanel shop they told me exactly why it is not real...

Well I just started researching pre-loved Celine Luggage and Google constantly keeps shoving VR in my face so I thought I'll bite..

Tell me why out of the first 3 I click on, 2 are obvious fakes being sold for £1200-1500, labelled "authenticity guaranteed"?!

I'm no Celine expert but even I can tell when the "Celine" writing on the strap clasp is facing the wrong way, or when the "N" in "Celine" isn't pointed, it's a blatant fake..

Needless to say I will no longer be browsing through that website. Maybe I should host a seminar for VR authenticator team..?

They have lost the plot now

"We put your item on price negotiation because we want to sell it for the price you want to sell it for" errrrr

Not to be stupid, but when I made my account, I had to verify it and that was sometime last year, so how can someone get away with having several accounts? Are you sure it is the same seller?

Oh and I assume that you did pay with your credit card or PayPal, depending when you bought, if the item isn't being sent within a period of time, you can claim your money back

OK, the 1st link doesn't work, the other 2 show as sold and you mentioned you bought on the 21st and today is the 22nd, the bag shows as sold and there is you on there making a few comments about wanting to cancel your order because apparently she sells a few bags, which frankly is really none of your business, as long as your bag is genuine and as described.

Seriously, I think you need to take a chill pill, Ana is a normal name in Spain, quite popular, so there are 2 Anas who sold the same handbag, however the pictures are different, you bought one, then make a massive song and dance that the seller should cancel after ONE day of her not replying and accuse her of being the same person? Seriously? Even the pictures are different, oh and btw one bag was bought on the 8th of August, the other was bought yesterday, you might be telling the wrong seller to cancel your order.

Btw both have different sizes and otherwise also different articles listed

Yes, the same one, In all acounts she is Ana from Spain. I find it looking my seller favourites. Also the same clothes
Click to expand...

Yes, Ana is a popular name in Spain, do you think you are the only person in your country with your 1st name? And totally different styles of clothes, I don't know where you are looking, but 2 people with the same 1st name, from the same country are selling the same bag but with different pictures and you totally freak out about it? Don't you think you might just be overreacting and accusing 2 people of being one person without any evidence?

Do you know how many girls in Spain are called Ana?
