Good for her. I would be so nervous with all the confusion about the card and the sticker in the bag.
Recently, I saw a scarf sold and it was clearly fake. I wrote and told the buyer it was fake and should it pass VC quality control, get a 3rd party authentication because it is a screaming fake and should not pass. The seller retorted with her cousin who is a model for AMQ gave it to her so it must be real. Eventually the seller said she will send it in and let VC sort it out. I guess if you sell fakes, you take your chances (since they are good) that VC will approve it as authentic. I hope the buyer doesn't think I am a nut job and gets the second opinion if they ship it to her. What is your name on VC? I'd like to get a cdc bracelet and if I see you gave a thumbs up, I'd feel more confident. Hope that is allowed here, if not, nevermind.
You TPF members are true guardians for strangers in VC
Too bad, that things go so bad in VC, cause the idea is fantastic.
I have decided, to avoid buying there.
A site I use often and authenticates prior to posting is lollipuff.com. I have not heard of an incident yet. I buy and sell there. They do herve leger, louboutin, chanel, jimmy choo, valentino, LV, celine. I can't remember all the designers but the are excellent and the prices are good. Check it out for sure to feel secure about buying authentic items.
If you buy at VC, have it authenticated first then pay with a credit card via paypal to have recourse in the event of a problem.
I dont care if peole think Im a nut job, if I can prevent one fake from being sold that is worth being called crazy, lol. I have been called worse things. Those who do are the ones who do not realize that VC actually lets fake items pas through. If they knew or believed that, they would (or at least they should) be grateful for my vigilance.
if you check the link to the chanel bag and the fake birkin you can view the comments..

Thank you. There really are some great and honest people there and you can find rare items too but I fully understand your reluctance. Just be careful and look at selling history etc if you decide to buy.
That's sound horrible. .imagine paying so much for a fake one and she still refuse to admit the birkin is a fake though she still got the guts to say "even though the birkin may be fake. ..but chanel is real" tsk tsk.
Been looking at this seller too, not sure of its authenticity but I dislike how she delay sending the stuff to her customer . Lol

OMG, it's disgusting! I would be furious, if I were the buyer... The seller just uses all her time to chat with future potential buyers, while not taking care of her straight responsibility of sending the bag, purchased from her two weeks ago... I just can't imagine. It's something wrong with the whole concept. 30 days waiting guarantee is just not good enough. It should be max 2 weeks for the luxury goods. When you spend a buck on the high-end stuff, you shouldn't be waiting for like a century to get your stuff. As for me, I had only bought there once, everything went smoothly, but I closed my account, because I realised that I don't need extra headache and concerns while waiting for my luxury stuff. I hate to wait long enough, because I all the time do contemplate and imagine worse case scenarios, so on..
Update on my last order...
French Post lost my Chanel Bag for almost 2 weeks. I did not want them to give up and pay me back I wanted them to not be lazy and make an effort to find the package. VC continually told me its not their problem because records show it left France and I have to chase it up in my local country. Called the shipping companies and they said its lost in France somewhere most likely due to incorrect filling of paperwork by VC or just simple loss/theft. Sent many emails to VC with updates on the information I was digging up through my own inquiries to help them find it. No reply from VC EVER!
Anyhow after almost 3 weeks floating around the world the shipment arrived! THANK GOD! The item was 100% authentic. Im relieved but not happy with the service. I feel for those who spend much more and get the same treatment. I will be cancelling my premium membership.
Was planning to buy a Birkin for my birthday however I will definitely not be doing that now. Looking for another reliable place to buy a Birkin.
Anyone used Christies online?

Yes I will be pissed too..imagine I pay so fast..I expect the thing to ship out immediately. .I will go crazy if i keep waiting for the seller to send the thing out.
how does one cancel the payment if after 30 days, one has not received the paid for goods? Do I do it through paypal or VC?
I have yet to receive the item, is it possible to get the bag authenticated just by sending a link of the closed auction to authenticate4u? If it turned out to be fake, can I work from there with paypal to get my money back?

You need to open a claim with paypal. You have to do it before the time limit is up, 45 days from payment date I think. You need to open an item not received claim and then if you receive it and it is fake switch the reason to item not as described. What bag did you buy? Or maybe it wasn't a bag? Good luck!
I bought this

I'm so scared. It's not up to 30 days yet but after reading everything in this thread, I want to be prepared.
So long as you paid with paypal and open a claim before the time limit is up you will be fine. Good luck

thanks. Is there a number of days from opening a paypal claim before it is closed? Should I wait for the 30 days before I open the paypal claim to see if I do receive the bag?
Like I said Before I Think the limit is 45 Days but you will have to double check that for yourself. They will then give you the time limit for when you have to escalate it to a claim or it will be closed.
