That's great to hear, thank you!!
I would suggest to check that the seller is indeed from France, and if so no customs to pay!

I would put a comment about it being returned by you because it was fake! I think that's the only thing you can do unfortunately. VC will not remove fake items because they claim they authenticate everything before sending to buyers [emoji34]
I'm confused! So you returned it as a fake, then VC itself is reselling it? How is that even possible?
Yes, the Dior bags I bought from a seller at VC are fake and they were deemed to be fake. I returned two of them last year at my own cost. VC denied to cooperate as they couldn't admit that they made a mistake and ofcourse it means they lose the money so I contacted my credit card company to get the money back. VC sold one pink Be Dior last year right after I returned and they just put this white one for sale now. The pictures are exactly the same from that seller. I'm not the only one that has this problem. VC does that all the time. Relist all items that being returned from the buyers either fake or not the same as condition as the seller describes. You need to be careful and make sure that all items you bought from VC is original or pay with Paypal.
Wow, thanks for the warning. I was about to buy a pair of rockstuds from VC's own selling account, but the description of the condition was vague and the price was low. Sounds like I should pass on that one. I am guessing the condition will be a problem. The condition is listed as "good" (which means "not good" usually!), but there are no damages shown in the photos and the description does not point anything out either.
Normally those items are returned from the buyers and VC put them on sale again with the same description the sellers put at the beginning without editing or adding. Those items always have something wrong but VC never point out. Good for them means everything still attach in one piece. LOL
It makes so much more sense now! I just looked up the shoes again to see what the description said, since the photos don't show any damage, but there must be something wrong since they are listed in good condition. Now that I see it again, I remember that the description is in French, and VC never answered another potential buyer's question about the condition.
In French it says: "very food cVendue avec la boite et dustbag. A noter: manque un clou au soulier gauche et le soulier est légèrement décollé sur son coté intérieurnditions." I am guessing "food" is supposed to be "good"?
Google translate (with some errors) says this means: "Very food cVendue with the gearbox and dustbag. Note: lack a nail in the Soulier left and the Soulier is slightly off on his side intérieurnditions".
Sooooo...my interpretation is that it comes with the box & dustbag and that maybe it is missing one of its studs...and *something* about the sole.
I have no problem with the description being in French since it is a French site, but they should show the damage in the photos!
Hi, I just started selling VC but I'm unsure how the prepaid labels work with fedex - I sold an item that weights over 1lb yet the label states 1lb? Is that an issue, or do they only cover up to 1lb before I pay the difference?
I'd love for some insight if anyone has similar experiences! I'm probably just going to bring these to a fedex drop off and ask in person tomorrow but would love if anyone happens to know and can save me a trip.

It says that the condition is very good (when VC checks compliancy they only go by what is stated under "condition", never by what is written in the description. That's why you will see plenty of items being described as "good condition" but in the text description the seller would describe it as very good)
With this particular item the French translates into "very good condition, sold with dustbag and box, please note: the left shoe is missing a stud and has a discolouration". This is for sure the reason why someone sent it back. A missing stud and a discolouration - from my point of view - should be described as "fair condition".
I never buy any item that is being put up for resale. Especially when the reseller is VC.
Thank you, this is very helpful. Yes, it sounds like this item is better left unpurchased.
Just a quick note that the second part of the description means that the sole is detaching from the shoe slightly (glue not holding it together anymore) on the internal side of the shoe. Even more reason not to buy!
