If I could give 10 stars, I would! Can't believe they notified me when they got the vintage Balenciaga bag I have been searching for. Said it was in very good condition. It wasn't. It was in excellent condition. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
The service went well and received the item really fast. The items are authentic that's what I'm looking for when I buy my purses.

Some sellers post pictures from another source not of their actual listing.
However, I can say this is rare since I've ordered from them several times and this has only happened once.
So beware of fake photos! But at least if the photos are not accurate you get your money back.
Dear Aqilah,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us 😊
In this case, we kindly inform you that once receive your order you have 72 hours to report it to us via chat or email and our team will be happy to fix it for you.

Excellent customer service as always. There was a discrepancy with my order, Vestiaire immediately reached out to me. (Seller had already communicated with me, so it was not an issue).
But nice to see Vestiaire had my back.

The item arrived as described, however the seller sold the item without the long chain it comes with and that's a bummer.
Dear CC J,
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Vestiaire Collective. We are sorry to hear that the item arrived without the long chain. We understand how important it is to receive all components of your purchase.
Please note that we take the matter of conformity very seriously. When an order is placed with the authenticated shipping method, the item undergoes a thorough physical check at our hub to confirm its authenticity and conformity with the description.
During the physical inspection, if our expert team identifies any discrepancies between the seller's description and the current condition of the item, they initiate a report negotiation. This process allows the buyer to make an informed decision regarding their purchase within 72 hours, whether to proceed with the purchase or decline, based on the item's condition.
In this situation, the item was deemed compliant and authentic, which is why it was shipped to you.
Despite our stringent procedures, you can still raise an issue for non-compliance regarding the item within 72 hours of delivery, along with proof. However, returns for a second check at our hub are only possible if the item does not match the seller's description.
If you do not want to keep the item, you still have the option to relist it or create a new listing and set a higher price, which might help you recover some of your investment.
Thank you for your understanding. We hope to see you again on Vestiaire Collective.
Best regards,
The Vestiaire Collective team
Gloves are not as described. Very, very disappointed. Need to return!
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by your last order, the Tory Burch Leather gloves. We truly understand how frustration this can be, and we share your feeling.
At Vestiaire Collective, we take the matter of conformity very seriously and strive to maintain high standards for all listings on our platform.
Please note that buyers have 72 hours from delivery to report any issues related to non-conformity. Since the delivery was made yesterday, you still have the option to report the issue, if you believe your order is not compliant. Please provide us with proof that the item does not match the seller's description, our expert team will be happy to investigate the matter.
If they confirm a case of non-conformity, they will unlock the return of the item back to the seller. This will trigger the order cancellation and your refund.
Thank you for your kind cooperation and your understanding. Should you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our service.
Best regards,
The Vestiaire Collective Team
The seller didn't ship. They are "unavailable" and I have not been refunded
Dear Blythe,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay in shipping your Acne Studios
Jacket (50464460), the lack of response from the seller and for any inconvenience this may have caused. We truly understand your frustration.
Please note that each member is responsible for managing their account, including the chat feature. We encourage all members to use it effectively to ensure a positive experience for everyone. Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding the seller's lack of response.
Regarding our shipping policy, sellers have a seven-day window from the date of sale to dispatch the item. If the item is not shipped within this timeframe, the order will be automatically canceled, and a refund will be issued.
In your case, the order was placed on December 18th, and the seller had until December 25th to ship it. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so. Currently, your order is cancelled, and your refund is issued, that should reflect in your bank account within 5 working days at the latest.
We hope this clarifies the situation. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our service team.
We look forward to seeing you again on our platform.
Best regards,
The Vestiaire Collective Team
Physical authentication for $15 is great. The ability to negotiate (unlike The Real Real) is a plus. I also love the eco-friendly ethos of the company

As a trusted seller with over 249 items sold and considering that VC is quite a good place to buy and sell, I had this horror experience which will probably make me to delete my account. They just cancelled a sale I made, after they concluded the item was not authentic. A Celine bag which I sent to Vestiaire wharehouse for checking along with an authenticity certificate from Legitgrails. After their "assessment" I sent the photos to a 2nd authenticator and the bag came also authentic. During the verification process, Vestiaire asked for proof of purchase (I did not understand why, since VC is a pre-owned app and most of the sellers do not have the invoice/receipt anymore. Or the items I sell were bought from private sellers who do not gave me any documents except the authenticity certificates). I sent them a Celine invoice which I had (from another bag I own, purchased same year in February 2023 - the reason for selling the second one I received as a gift. Both bags being brand new, never used). I understand I sent the wrong invoice, thinking it belongs to the sold bag, but cancelling the sale under the explanation the bag is fake, is outrageous. Not only it affected my trusted seller badge, but all my activity on VC. On top of that, they asked for 15€ fee to return my bag! What?! 2 authenticators concluded the bag is genuine! VC did not say it is fake until I sent them the wrong invoice. They checked almost all my 249 sold items and NEVER asked for extra documents. And I am sure they can spot a fake item without documents! Because they treat the sellers as scammers, not bothering to give any explanation and keeping my items on the road risking to get damaged, I will delete my account. Beware sellers! Ref number Ref: *******.
I will delete this review once the issue has been solved or any explanation will be given.
Banned from chat for no reason, by the automatic system! Support team admits it is an error but doesn't want to lift the ban! As a seller with 175 items sold, I know I cannot sell anything if I cannot chat with my buyers, especially because I sell expensive items. I was banned for writing to a buyer about how the new buyer's fee are added to the total price and the system detected numbers and it blocked me. The ban was lifted after few hours and a chat agent addmited it was an error. Next day, I messaged a buyer about the fact that I will leave on vacation and asked her to tell me if she is interested in purchasing the item she sent an offer for. Banned again! I emailed VC and they told me the ban cannot be lifted because I was banned MULTIPLE TIMES! Yes, I was, by the faulty automatic system! No one cares and they keep telling me to read the chat rules. I DID! I DID NOT VIOLATE ANY OF THEM! I told them I cannot sell anything without being able to chat also because the impression a buyer will get when seeing that "this seller can no longer receive messages". What would they think? I have over 1000 items listed, 175 sold and I am working hard to be an expert seller. By the way, I get asked alot by the buyers to give them my personal info or names of other platforms I sell on and my answer is ALWAYS this: "I only sell here. Please do not ask or send personal info because we will both be banned on chat!" (this can be proven!). I sent VC captures of the messages that got me banned from chat and they did not care, they keep telling me to read the rules. So, they are admitting that I was banned by the faulty system multiple times and they don't care about lifting the ban, or the work I put in VC or the money they made out of the commissions I gave them. This is frustrating, outrageous and a such a shame! If they won't unban me, I will delete my account because no sales can be made like that.
