If VC is not responsible for selling fakes, why do they have Quality control 'specialists' who suppose to check authenticity?? I thought that is the main idea behind of VC concept and thats why the selling commission is so high?!

When you buy something from VC, Vvicky, you must remember that most of the time, VC have not seen the item in real life...They are supposed to autenticate it when the seller sends it to them....that is.. when someone bought it....[emoji15][emoji15]
The commission is so high that I would not trust their so called experts.

Collectorsquare have all the items in their possession. [emoji173]️

I have bought a pair of shoes from VC and am hoping everything is OK - it is the first time I have ordered from this site. Here's hoping!

So far I have only had good experiences from Vestiaire, I am careful what I buy though.

There is a prada Saffy on there thats on my favourites list but I just cant commit to it because it is over $1500 and Im not sure its authentic. I know the girls would authenticate for me on the forum but they hate to authenticate saffys, which is another reason I have steered clear.

Let us know how you get on :smile1:

Got my shoes today - they were described as 'good condition' however they are basically perfect, except for wear on the soles (which is expected with Louboutins).

Very pleased with my VC experience so far, however this was my first order 😊.

Hey. Just wanted some advice. I listed a Chanel Reissue on Vestiaire Collective (link below)
http://www.vestiairecollective.com/...llic-leather-handbag-255-chanel-1523811.shtml

It sold for £2240 but after the commission they take, which is a vast amount £450+, I only end up with about £1750. It's the largest size in the reissue and no longer comes in this colour. I was just wondering if you guys thought it's worth going ahead with. Plus the annoying this is you can't even directly message the buyer they filter everything!
My thought is that if someone is willing to pay £2000+ for it I could get 400 more which is being taken on commission.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

My thoughts too!

I have put a Lanvin and Saint Laurent bag up for sale, but their commission is so hefty. I have put it up for sale too at Designer-vintage.com. I've made some great sales on their site, you only pay for your ads and the asking price is a bit more realistic. Then again, their reach isn't as big as VC, but you are in direct contact with the buyer/seller which helps me a lot when I have more doubts. You can also mail them for more info on sellers.
So I use both for buying and selling, though I haven't sold anything on VC yet. Good luck on your decision.

I have sold many things on vc and some very expensive too. Of course they took a huge amount in commission but you don't risk getting scammed and they pay for fedex of your sold items to get shipped to them.

I thought I would mention that I made an offer once on an item and the seller knew it was me!!!
I complained to VC and am yet to hear back.
Surprisingly that person was a high seller and a person they claimed they knew "well" when I asked them...the item in question is no longer on the site and I cannot find the seller under her old name.
So ladies when you think you are making an anonymous offer, think twice.
Needless to say, the sellers aggressive message about why I make offers without buying, put me off buying that item altogether!!! (I obviously had a very good reason why I did not complete purchase in the first place)

What??? Insanity!

I don't have the offer option available because out of all the offers I received that way, none followed through.

I let people ask for a lower price on the listing if they care to. It was a waste of time and energy to have the offer option available IMO.

Hi!! [emoji8]
tbh I would prefer it not being anonymous as long as I know as I too receive tons of offers which I occasionally accept but they all fall through... Tsk
