Vestiaire Collective experiences?

I mentioned in another thread that after such situations, you become the creepy buyer who asks all kinds of weird questions.
*does it stink?
*does it have armpit stains?
*is the crotch area clean?
*has it been eaten by mites?
*did someone die in it?

Contact VC and let them know it stinks to high hell and you want to return it. Good luck

This made me :roflmfao:. It is so true though, it happens on Ebay too, I am that ^ buyer now. I feel for all of the posters who have had bad experiences with Vestiaire, I am avoiding them at all costs.
 
I ordered a Isabel Marant Pants which were supposed to be in great condition (the photos looked fine). Finally got it today, and it is a worn out beat-up piece of crap. Colors are all faded and it has a really really bad cigarette stench. It is too disgusting to even try it on and the moment I touched it, my hands started smelling like the pants. Yuck.. Unfortunately, I paid by credit card and I won't be able to open a claim through paypal. Has people tried putting things back up for sale? If you do, do you not get your money until the item sells?


This sounds disgusting! Contact your cc company and see if they can help.

If you relist it you wont get paid until it sells. I personally would have a problem listing it and not disclose the additional flaws, which in all honesty would make the item unsalable.

Who did you buy the pants from?
 
There are some great Sellers on VC. You need to check their rating to decide if they are trustworthy.


Agree! Such a shame it only depends on the seller, when the promise of the company is they are quality granters.

For LV look for Sonya (formerly Sorya). I've had great experiences with her: good items, well keeped, and everytime I've received what described and sometimes even a little more (a dustbag, a box with a nice ribbon...). Really trustworthy!!
 
Contact your cc company and explain the situation and see if they can help you out in this. I am sorry but not shocked this happened to you. I guess VC does not consider stench as non conform.

My list of creepy questions was started due to my experiences on ebay. Now I just copy paste for all resale sites and hope it doesn't get me banned as the creepy buyer!

I think this a good place to start but should not be the determining factor. There are some recommended sellers that have fakes listed. Personally speaking, I don't have the highest rating and that is because VC in all it's infinite wisdom, declared my authentic CL's I non conform and cancelled the sale. I sent them the link from tPF where they were declared authentic months before I put them up for sale.
I don't rely on ratings. First and foremost is the item and determining it's authenticity. You are correct there are some great sellers and great deals to be found.

Of course you are right but rating is a good indicator as well as checking their sold items. I take pride in my ranking and my items always being compliant and actually exactly as described or better.

I have spotted a few fake hermes that high ranked sellers have sold, kelly wallets and CDC bracelets mostly. I post on items I see that are fake to warn people and to make them aware. It is not popular and I have had some crazies harrassing my listings. Fortunately they make themselves look like the fool when posting inane and inaccurate information.

If a seller has high ranking, fast replies to questions and great luxury sales in the past the likelyhood of their next sale being compliant is very high as compared to someone with low rating and few sales. Those are facts.

I do all those things also and because of that incident and no other, I remain at 94.8%. Even after selling and buying for over 4 years. The others that have sold fakes even after your commentary, do they still have 100% ratings? It seems very likely to have high ratings selling fakes if the seller and VC "quality control" do not know the difference.
I'm ranting now, sorry.

I don't know, I have not checked. VC needs to train the people in the quality control team, that's a sure thing! Their automatic calculator is faulty, that I know for sure. I have sold a little over 50 luxury items and all have met quality control. Yet, my rating is not 100% and nobody can explain why. It is ridiculous. Maybe the same is true for you? I look more at the ranking level than the %, my ranking is 321 which is pretty good IMO.

Where do you see the seller's rating? How do you rate them?
TIA
