Thanks :-) I actually just sold it on Designer Vintage since for just below the price I had in mind. A lot easier than dealing with VC and from what I see also a lower fake rate...seen (again) a Dior bag on there busted in the Dior TPF forum, but not many other stories of fake bags that slipped through their pre-posting check. They ask me a lot more questions at least to prove authenticity. But I believe every site will have issues with superfakes from time to time so best to always get third party authentication first.

hey, you saw a fake on designer-vintage? i have my eye on a dior bag, would you mind telling me which one?

As for VC.. guys you have to tweet about them and their fakes, blast them on FB and show pics of the fakes on all social media (insta, fb, twitter) they only respond by publicly being humiliated...

i have closed my account with them ages ago..as tempting as it is... please try to avoid it...

i get so many emails saying the founder of VC is giving speeches...and i dont go cus i have no respect for some who cannot manage their website and fakes...

The realy good fakes are from china and turkey.. sold online for £200..please guys before you buy athenticate..even if you are sure its genuine..
fakers want to sell and will send you pics..if you dont ask you dont get :)

I'm relatively new to the forum and to selling bags. Having just put my first item for sale on eBay I then proceeded to read the ebay forum and now am having nightmares about buyers who do not pay, partial refunds, claims and what not. I found myself wondering whether Vestiaire Collective was a better idea but after reading this, I'm not sure. What to do...?

As a seller, I never have any problem with VC yet. Make sure you describe your items good and clear even with tiny mark. As a buyer, it's quite horror if you got the fake items or the sellers do not send the items quick or didn't at all and still have to deal if the items are not as they describe.

As a seller I have not had any problems at all. Most of my items are brand new too so no risk of a buyer not being content. As a buyer though I have had very bad buys, my five last purchases were all NOT as described, yet, they still passed their quality control.

I always ship my items the day after it has sold unless it's the weekend or later at night.

The bad thing about vc when you are a seller is their 30% commission. I do feel the positive, they pay for shipping to them and pay via bank transfer, outweighs the negative for me anyway. No risk of selling to scammers.

I just had a terrible experience buying from VC. I bought two bags. The Gucci described as in perfect condition and confirmed as usch by their 'experts' was in poor condition with holes, stained and a terrible smell. They finally agreed to pay me back my money when I threatened to report them. They agreed that the bag was not as described by the seller. Today I saw that they put the bag up again on their site stating that it is in perfect condition.

The other bag I bought, a Louis Vuitton, I strongly suspect is fake but they will not admitt it and claim to have dispatched it again after a second 'quality control'. They also wrote that it is my responsibility as a buyer to ask the seller if the bag is genuine. But every time someone ask this on their site they answer not to worry because the VC team will carefully check the item's authenticity. That is just BS! I am thinking about reporting them to the police.

Hello everyone,
I have another update regarding VC. Today, I placed an offer on an item. Later, I saw in my notifications that the offer had been refused and that the seller had started following my activities. At first, I thought I was seeing ghosts but when I checked, I saw that I had not put the item on my wishlist just placed the offer. So it is not possible that the seller just started following me bc he/she saw that I had put her item on my wishlist.
This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable in my opinion, but I don't know how to go on about it. I know that someone else on TPF has had a similar case where she found out that the seller had seen who'd placed the offer. Any suggestions how to deal with this?

When using mobile app. And someone sent an offer. Click the left hand side of the notification news will see the offer sender's profile and click the right hand side of the notification news will link to offer response.

Nothing you can really do to avoid..

I am thinking of selling on VC my LV Speedy. It in great order but no receipt, but authenticated here by Addy.
If VC keep 30% so then i should price my bag around £390 minimum to get atleast £280-300 back as I paid £300 for the bag but never used it..

I have an accepted offer on a Louis Vuitton soft lockit bag that was already sold in September by an Isabella and then somehow reappeared and is being sold by VC themselves (itself?). They sent an email to me saying it was relisted. I have 24 hours to decide whether to purchase and even though I and 2 others questioned why the bag reappeared and is now being sold by VC they never answered. Could it be a fake? Should I just forget about this sale? I don't understand why they never gave a reason for the bag's return.

It means the bag was returned and relisted. because it's not relisted by another seller/buyer but by VC it means there were issues with it (otherwise VC would ask the buyer to relist on her behalf). I would steer clear.
