Vestiaire Collective experiences?

You could leave a comment under the item with a link, they tend to react to comments really quick and always check them in case people exchange outside information

Owner of the pic did and they have removed the item. Seems like they are getting better at this.

About the authentication fee. Can you choose not to pay it?

Another improvement they have introduced is filter by country. Great if you don't want to look for items that have custom duties on them. But I wish they had an option to choose Europe or the European Union. Why would anyone want items from Germany but not from Austria? that doesn't make much sense.

They possibly haven't thought that through? Personally I usually don't care from where in the EU it is, but from countries outside the EU, the import duties can be really steep.

Actually I take back what I said about the website working, I usually have Word open, do the description and drag the MacBook with me when I examine everything in broad daylight, so as to not miss anything, I don't seem to be able to copy and paste from the document into the website, just does endless "saving"

I think I see why they’re offering a filter for where an item is shipping from. I just looked at delivery charges in FAQ and it’s changed - shipping will now be the actual cost of shipping from whatever country the item is in. It’s not about the duties. So it will be potentially significant if you’re ordering from Spain, maybe, whether the item is coming from Germany or France.

They seem to be rolling this out bit by bit and we are having to discover things as we stumble across them, because it’s not being explained in one email.

I THINK there is improvement overall. I think we’ll have to wait and see. They do seem to be restructuring the whole thing quite significantly.

Was also responding to your post in mine above, Doni, but working out the multiquote thing seems to be beyond me!

Somebody mentioned that if you are a Premium subscriber, you have free shipping for one item, if you don't use it this month, you got 2 the next month, not sure how much Premium is, but could be worth it, especially if you are sharing a Premium with a friend? As I believe you can several shipping addresses or change them?

There are various premium options, I usually do the 3 month, 3 free shipping at a time and renew it. I am in the US, and since most items are in the EU, the old shipping price for me was always $44. I don’t remember the price of the 3 month premium membership, but it was $44 or less, so it just made sense. The 3 free could be used any time during the 3 months. The best part of premium membership is that you can reserve any item for 20 minutes by placing it in your cart while you look at the photos and get your payment info all completed. Popular items sell fast, so this is helpful.
You can have multiple shipping addresses, but I think they all have to be linked to your payment method.

If you do have a good friend, I think the payment should not be the issue, I have a friend who is totally paranoid about buying anything with a CC online, I tried to explain that it is much more secure than a bank transfer but the idea totally spooks her, so I had ordered 2 items for her when I had a coupon and there was nothing that tempted me, she simply reimbursed me.

It's just one of her quirks, that she believes whenever she pays something online with her CC that it will be stolen and she is in a world of trouble, having seen her in a brick and mortar store, I think a nuclear melt down of a card is more likely

Absolutely!

Everything that I have been looking at is still the same price. (Well now more with the authentication fee) ‍♂️. I guess I’m just that lucky [emoji23]. But I will try out putting an item into my shopping bag and see if I get a coupon.

I think all prices didn’t get reset at the same time. My items for sale were reduced by VC over a few days and now have all been reduced. Maybe the ones you were looking at will be lowered now?

Some of mine are still not reduced, they seem to be going slow, and obviously you get questions from people on your items why they are not yet reduced (because I have that influence over VC)

Everything still seems to be the same price. Even new items being listed seem to be priced quite a bit higher than similar items from a few months ago.

Perhaps once again I’m being priced out of the market.

I actually bought 2 items that were considerably cheaper, and most of mine have been reduced, apart from the odd one out, I think they get through it, it is weird as they do not seem to go by brand or time listed or value, no idea which system they are using

I’ll keep checking back every so often. I won’t be buying anything anytime soon as I have put myself on ban island.

Could it be that your browser is still loading the old page? Because nobody else seems to have the problem with getting the same prices
