Their quality control checkers have completely changed their policies it seems. The items I sell always pass inspection immediately, because I describe all wear and chose my wear category conservatively, but in the last 2 days two items have failed, and both with reasons that were listed in my description. The first was a jacket which was listed in good condition described as having wear to the buttons (with photos), and it was determined to not conform to good condition because of wear to the buttons! Next I sold a handbag, listed as very good condition with tiny scratches to the hardware, which has always passed quality control before, but it was again determined to not conform to the listing because of scratches to the hardware (on the feet of the bag)!
It seems like the item has to be brand new or it can’t pass quality control anymore! I wonder if I’ve just had bad luck these past two days?

I honestly hope they manage to smooth that out or remove the twerp who doesn't seem to be able to read descriptions

It seems to have afflicted all my fave sellers, who I really always got better than expected stuff from and me when they faffed around a pair of nude pumps they decided are pink and not beige, it is so stupid

I remember when they pulled that on you! You would think they would want the sale to go through when the item actually is a described. Our buyers would not have objected!

I saw a few of the sellers I regularly buy from lose their status and one of them (actually found the rare Prada bag because she tweeted she sells it on VC) I am in touch with as she is really nice and we connected via Social Media, they are trying to push people into taking low ball offers or else losing the status, well, tbh their status isn't that great and that really rubs me the wrong way

Update: the Kelly sold yesterday at a decent price. Having read your comments and having 'this is not authentic H based on lack of receipt' experience, I'm curious what's going to happen when the bag lands in Paris.

I think it should be fine, they do seem to have better people authenticating and I think the old drones are now trying to show they are up to the game by finding stuff wrong that is easy to authenticate

Strangely, it's been acknowledged and approved within 8 hrs from the reception. Guess the commission on H was more worth it than on Celine or Chanel. Glad I'm done with them lol and a relieved the bag is gone and sorted.

It is totally odd, but you got rid of the bag and I guess you will in the future let others spend the really big bucks on the expensive items and buy reduced...

Sometimes it is odd, stuff that has 100 likes and is really competitively priced doesn't sell well, something that is not that great flies out...

I totally know the feeling, the people posting really stupid price offers and then having a fit if you tell them "No thank you, I listed quite low because I don't enjoy the haggling, this is the lowest I am willing to sell" do annoy the hell out of me.

It's exactly that feeling - after getting odd offers on the Kelly I was keen to keep it (though black K is super boring, pure reason for selling). Funny, I didn't feel that resentment when selling Celine or YSL for peanuts but Hermes made me really think - somebody will be walking with a bag they couldn't afford but stupid nikka007 sold them for **** all lol...Heyho.

My big vice were shoes, some I didn't even wear because I fell in love with them in the shop then at home decided I have quite a few similar pairs already, the amount of whinging going on because I didn't want to sell new Prada, Vivienne Westwood or Louboutin for 50 really did my head in

I don't envy you, read your posts about it. I luckily found a place in Warsaw where stuff like LV, Prada (which I didn't own) or Gucci sells fast at good prices (combo of **** supply and people trying to save £/$/PLN) so rarely sold bags (I only sell bags) at super low prices. Still it hurts, hence my commitment to consider my purchases (also found excessive clothes, shoes & bags freak me out lol)
