Vestiaire Collective experiences?

[Gabs007]

Yes. The moment they confirmed the article was compliant, the money was on the Wallet (in maximum 24 hours) and you could order a transfer to your bank account. You didn’t have to wait until the next Wednesday. I have sold more than 20 items in the past month and I’ve been selling at VC for 7 years now. Just wanted to know if somebody had any experience with the new payment system. But again, sorry, I live in Spain and maybe there are different rules for each country.
Thanks anyway!

Actually you seem to have had really different rules then, in the rest of Europe and I think in the US (from what friends told me) it was always after they sent it to the buyer. I recall about 3 or 4 years ago, they only paid out twice a month, then changed with the new site to weekly, also dropped the commission considerably. Maybe they are streamlining it a bit and make it the same in every country to avoid confusion?
As for worrying, seriously one thing that I can say about VC (and I do have a ton of issues with them) is that they do pay out faithfully, never had an issue with that, so I don't think you need to worry.

Btw congrats on selling so much in a month, you might want to be careful though, I sold quite a few expensive items in the past and got stung with French tax. Sales for more than 5K and they will charge you

Nope, never heard about it, but a new one would be nice, the steady emails the day after you listed something to drop your price from VC are really doing my head in. I just checked out their terms and conditions, heck no, massive percentage, then you have to send them the product, which means they can literally force you to sell for next to nothing and you can't list it anywhere else.

Ok, then I guess this change in the payment system to sellers must be something happening only in Spain. Sorry to have bothered you! I have contacted the Finance team of Vestiaire Co to clarify. Thanks and have a lovely day!

Yes, it is part of the VC plan to be more effective. They Have the following information in their Q&A part:

“As of 20th October, the Wallet service is no longer available on Vestiaire Collective. If you had a positive balance in your Wallet at that time, don’t worry - we can transfer the balance directly to your bank account. Read on to find out how that will happen. “

Also they have instructions on how to proceed. It surprises me that you, as a customer, were not informed properly about the changes. I hope by now they have responded to your queries.

Sometimes VC is hilarious, I sold my Fendi boots from last season, I think I had them listed for 300 or so, within minutes of them going live I got messages from other users to lower my price, much too high, I should charge 100 (in their dreams) one was really aggressively posting under the item, so I replied sweetly "I think I am charging not enough, thank you for making me aware of it, I will cancel and relist" withing seconds they sold, got the message today they went through the compliance test, some people still post that they would be willing to stretch to 120...

Has anyone received a pop up message from VC saying that your items have been selected for their Anniversary sale, where all prices will drop, asking you to make sure all items in your listing are available?
if they are going to drop all prices, that also means that you will receive less? Or will they respect the amount you will get? How can they drop prices without consent from the seller?
Any advice is really welcomed!

I think you need to sign in for that, they sent me an email that I have been selected (like possibly everybody else) for their Anniversary Sale and to take part I need to drop the prices by at least 10% - I decided it is an invitation and I don't need to attend...

Thank you so much for the information! No email so far, only the pop up. Yes, I dont think I would like to attend that party either
To be honest, I do believe all my items are fairly priced, especially noting their quality and condition. I would probably feel compelled to collaborate if they don't affect the received amount but I don’t think they will reduce their commission.

Tbh while their steady pressure to sell for totally ridiculous prices and the inconsistency of their compliance checks annoys the hell out of me, so far they were quite fair and never made sellers pay for their promotions or such, quite unlike the Hamburg rip offs Rebelle, where they basically tell you if you sell an item for x amount, you get that much, then you get much less because the scavenging lot unloads the cost of their promotion on the seller. It is a shame because 3 years ago Rebelle was really good, now they have gone down the drain and I avoid them like the plague, but then all their staff are wannabe models who also model their Youtube promotional videos and they spent a fortune on advertising

I'm eyeballing a LV Lockme Day Calf Leather Tote on Vestiaire Collective. Is this site a reputable? I don't know much about it and have never used it before.

Thank you for any input.

Hi, so far it has worked well with me. They do have their authentication process, which is good, but sometimes could be a hit and miss.

My experience overall has been great, therefore I have decide to place some of my own items for sale.

Up to now, all has been working well and any problem has been dealt promptly.

Hopefully you will enjoy that bag very soon.

I think they have really smoothed out the process a lot, I considerably emptied my wardrobe and forced hubby to make an account as I have almost reached the 5K before they charge you taxes.

I would ask the seller as many questions as possible about the item, sometimes they forget they have something listed or sold it somewhere else, so always best to check, also with the current lock downs, they might have the item with parents or at a friend's place and possibly can't get to it in time.

Apologies if there is already a thread or it is in the wrong place..... It has been sometime since I have posted on here!!

I am looking at potentially purchasing a bag from Vestiaire Collective but the reviews I have seen have been a little hit and miss - particularly regarding Mulberry.

Has anyone had any experience with them? I will be using their 'authenticated by experts' service but still a little uncertain. I have seen some reviews from buyers that have said their items are fake even after review...

I have only ever purchased via Mulberry direct so feel like Vestiaire may be a good half way house (rather then jumping straight to ebay!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
