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.

What is the criteria for the ranking? I have not found an explanation on the site about how it is generated. Is it in regards to how many items you sell, how many followers you have or how many people you follow? It seems to be quite arbitrary. Is there a points system based on the name brands you sell? I don't know how to use that number as a refection of the sellers items being authentic or conform or not.
 
Vc rates sellers based on successful, compliant sales etc. you click on their profile name and then you will see the rating. You can not see it from your phone, you need to get on your computer.

This would be more of a readout for the % and not the ranking. My ranking changes even when I don't sell anything to have judged. That is why I do not know how they determine ranking. There have been many months when I did not sell or months when I only purchased and my ranking steadily declines. If i buy more, will my ranking improve? :p Maybe that's what they want me to try.

I have no idea, I'm not working for VC, just a seller and buyer like you are. I think it is based on number of sales and how much it costs and you answering questions but that is just my assumption.

I don't think buying has anything to do with it, I rarely buy. Almost never. I think I have bought less than five things over the years.
 
I looked and couldn't find the rating either
You click on the persons id and then there is a list of the country, when they joined, ranking etc. Like this: It is my own profile but I edited out my VC name.

That is the most impossible website to navigate. How do you avoid seeing stuff that is already sold? How do you sort by scarf sizes or material? Searching by size or material doesn't work at all and I can't page through 4000 hits for "hermes scarf" :pullhair::pullhair::pullhair:
 
Yes it's a terrible website and judging from what I have read so far, I won't think of getting anything from there. The website design make the product pictures look terrible.

It is the worst site I have seen and it is VERY hard to navigate. The Pictures posted make the items look much worse than they really are, many of them at least.....some are even worse than shown based on feedback in this thread.

I totally agree, I was trying to find 28 Kelly's and I kept seeing sold ones?! So annoying!
