“DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS SITE THAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO GAMBLE AWAY ENTIRELY, BECAUSE IF YOUR ORDER HAS ISSUES, THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU. The customer service is NON EXISTENT with this company. I ordered two items. One item was cancelled for no reason. The other showed up a month later. It was a pair of gloves. THEY SENT ONE GLOVE. When I contacted the company, they tried to place blame on the carrier and drew out the "investigation" process. The carrier did their job. The package showed up perfectly in tact. They refused my refund. I have multiple email threads showing how absurd their responses are. I started a chat thread on the website, and the associate told told me she was ending the chat and to "refer to the previous emails". I honestly have never been this turned off by a company in my entire life. If I could give one million 0 star reviews, I would. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY!”

“I’ve been a buyer/seller of Vestiaire Collective since 2015. Unfortunately VC is not what it used to be, their quality department cannot differentiate fake from authentic items. They are not trustworthy anymore. I’m cancelling my account and I would advise anyone not to buy anything from them, their customer support is the worst.”

“To be honest I was not expecting this kind of appalling behaviour from a company that refers to themselves as the saviour of sustainable fashion!!!!Bought a pair of boots size 35 and I received size 34. Customer service won't refund even though its a false advertising and misleading. Won't spend any more money there. They won't take any responsibility at all.”

“I listed an item for sale on Vestiaire Collective and my item was purchased. After mailing my item to the midpoint where they verify the quality, they found the item to be in different condition than I described. I listed a designer handbag that still had original tags on it, original packaging, and has never been used. My mother bought the bag nearly 30 years ago. On my listing, I shared that the bag had some leather peeling, consistent with age and that the bag had never been used. All true, but on their report they described the item as “good” condition instead of never been used as I had described it. The buyer rejected the purchase after seeing this report. They then gave an option of storing my bag in their facility OR having it returned to me. I clicked the return to me button and went about my business. A week later I reached out to support because I hadn’t received any tracking information. They shared that my item had been delivered and finally sent me the tracking. It had been delivered to an old address, and not the address I had sent it from. Unfortunately I no longer live in that city, FedEx cannot do anything about it, and now my mother’s handbag is lost in NYC. Supports only solution was that I reach out to fedex. If they had sent me tracking information and had me verify the correct return address I would not be in this situation but now unfortunately there is nothing I can do. Also the customer service representative was trying to gaslight me and say that I “just changed the address” to the old NYC one. Overall I find the company to be extremely unreliable and I cannot say I had a good experience. Knowing what I know now, I would never purchase or sell on the platform again.”

“Geht ja gar nicht, man soll alle Makel zeigen und beschreiben, wenn du das machst schauen die Deppen in der Kontrolle nicht mal auf die Bilder oder Beschreibung und lehnen es ab. Sind das Analphabeten oder was? Ich glaube die würfeln, und der Kundenservice ist unterirdisch, die geben keine Antwort oder es ist nicht ihre Abteilung, sagen sie leiten es weiter und dann hörst du nie wieder von denen.”

“Ich musste selber Zoll Gebühren zahlen für meine eigene Artikel, die Antwort von vestiare war: Diese Situation tut mir wirklich leid. Ich möchte Ihnen wirklich dabei helfen, aber dies ist der Prozess, den wir befolgen müssen, und wir können nichts anderes für Sie tun. Es tut mir noch einmal leid.”

“Terrible customer service! First, the (professional) seller has been ignoring me for 10 days now, and the customer service can’t do anything about it lol. Then, the customer service tells me that the discount code on 120€ off will be valid until 17 November (for another week) which turned out to be a lie because the discount expired at midnight while I was still waiting for the seller‘s response on my offer)!!! Now I have neither the discount, nor the offer from the seller (still not reply!!). I tried to reach to customer service to ask why they lied to me about the validity of the discount code and therefore deprived me of the opportunity to get the discount on the bag I’ve trying to buy now for 2 weeks, and they stopped replying!!! At least accept that you screwed up and lied to the customer. What is wrong with this platform? They track customer’s data (you activity what you put into favourites and your bag) and send them stupid FAKE notifications such as „the seller is ready to drop their price to X“ - don’t believe these messages because they are not true (I read about it and also know myself as the seller had rejected that price offer before that notification came in, so there is NO WAY „the seller is ready to drop their price to X“). They just try to make you anxious and purchase immediately! Don’t believe it. Not the first time I have terrible experience with Vestiaire Collective. If not this particular bag, I would have never returned to this platform.”

“Discard the positive reviews, most likely bots or Vestiaire workers, though I would be surprised if they can read or write. Frankly as a seller, do not trust these crooks with your items, you can show every flaw and mention it, the quality of their experts is that they will not read your review or look at the pictures and claim your listing is not compliant. When you have the direct sending, beware as tons of people then claim they have received something else or damage your item to force a return and Vestiaire will take their side. They lie to you that they will investigate, but the quality of their responses (not sure they are real people, it seems bots and they don't respond or respond to something else) is as poor as about everything else in that company. Sell on eBay, sell on Vinted, sell on JoliCloset or any other website, but don't give Vestiaire a commission, unless you enjoy dealing with a bunch of inept and crooked "people". As a buyer, how much do you trust an "expert" that can't read or write? Wouldn't be the first time they let fakes through or couldn't identify real items, just check out their reviews, you will find that the positive reviews are usually bland, most negative reviews give you information, don't rely on just this platform, check every other review platform, the fake praise reviews are the only reason why they aren't at the lowest level, at one point they were a company you could trust, it has changed, they are now a company who rips off buyers and sellers. Oh and Vestiare, how nice of you to employ the illiterate, but hey, don't call them experts”

“Horrible experience. In September, I ordered a brown crocodile Saint Laurent handbag and instead received a black Love Moschino handbag in a Saint Laurent box and dust bag. Initially the company appeared helpful but insisted that we file a claim with the shipper (fedex) despite me repeatedly saying this was not their fault because I received a perfectly intact and unopened shipping box. The box simply contained the wrong items. That led nowhere. I continued to try to have a dialogue with customer service team because I paid an authentication fee on the site and still received the wrong items. But they have done nothing. It’s nearly 2 months later and I have not received the correct bag nor have I received a refund of my $1300. And this morning I received this: “Please be informed that the team has confirmed that the right has been shipped to you so they did not make wrong action on this.” Really? Then how come I have a Love Moschino bag and not a Saint Laurent bag. Buyers beware.”

“Warning to all future VC clients. I bought a shirt from VC that was described as "very good condition". The shirt arrived with a stain in front of it (10cmx10cm). it is a oil stain, so cant be cleaned. I reached out to VC and send them a picture of the stain, but they firmly claimed that there is none. After sending the shirt back, they had the guts to confirm that there is no stain. They re-listed the shirt, including my picture of the stain, which is absolutely ridiculous. if there is no stain, why add the picture of the stain? i absolutely don't understand how such an obvious stain can be ignored.”

“What a terrible customer service Vestiaire Collective have. Their algorithms bans you for no reason from the chat which is a very frustrating process to get your ban lifted. After writing numerous messages, and only receiving standard replies with promises, it took them almost a month to lift my ban. Unfortunately, after 1 day they banned me again for no reason. They just don't want you to communicate with other customers. Fed up and I am going to try other platforms as there are so many on the market. VC is not worth your time and efforts compared to the frustration and aggravation it gives you.”

“Terrible and incoherent customer service and completely incompetant. I sold a belt that I had bought from the CELINE store on Bond Street. Provided all the authentication, including card, serial number, original receipt (with my details on it) and all the original packaging and I got a generic email back to say it had failed authentication and I needed to pay £15 to get it back. No further explanation. Their chat service is a joke and they take forever to reply. I want my money back and I'm never using this useless app again.”

“I’m sooo angry! I purchased a Chanel handbag. Prior to the purchase, I asked the seller which photos accurately depicted the color of the bag. They lied! Also, once the bag arrived at Vestaire I was notified that there was wear on the bag not depicted in the photos the seller posted. I should have just canceled the transaction then but the Vestaire employee said something to the effect that the bag was well priced and this new discovery would not affect the price I’m paying. Red flag! The bag arrived and it was nothing like the photos. I objected and was overruled by Vestaire. Seller must be in the good graces of this horrible site. I sent the handbag back to Vestaire as I didn’t want it since it was not depicted properly in the photos. They posted it for sale at a price I had not authorized!!! Then it was shown that it sold! It had not. They sent this stupid handbag back to me and were AWFUL to deal with. Wish I would have looked at these reviews before I purchased this handbag. Buyer Beware!”

“Terrible customer service. Used for the first time to buy an item. The item didn’t fit so I relisted it the day after and sold it The new buyer raised a issue and photographed a mark that wasn’t on there when sold (I had the item for 24hrs) and now they’ve been issued a refund and item being sent back to me damaged so I can’t resell for same value and out of pocket. The customer service chat then just stopped responding when I said I wanted a refund as well from the original buyer for same reason then. Won’t be using again to buy or sell what a shoddy practice. They don’t even deserve one star”

“I purchased a Chanel bracelet in September 2023. It was listed in ‘very good condition’. Open receiving the item, it was clearly damaged and not in said condition. After almost 60 emails from them, mostly with different people, filing damage claim with FedEx submitting complaint with BBB, they relisted the item with the original description and pics! Total false advertisement AND I have pictures showing the damage! They claim they filed a claim with FedEx, which they did not (according to FedEx) and they did not declare the value when they shipped it (according to FedEx). Complete nightmare and incompetent company and people. They now have the bracelet and continue to mislead customers with the previous listing.”

“Wost platform ever to sell!!!! I sold an authentic bag that I got from Ssense, a reputable designer store. I did not have the receipt but all the tags were still on the bag with the original packaging from Ssense. They allowed me to list it and sell it. I shipped it to their New York warehouse for “authentication” and they then asked me for a receipt and cancelled my sale. I now have to pay 15 euro to hopefully get my bag back. Why did they allow me to list my bag when they reviewed the listing they knew I did not have the receipt! How can they not authenticate a bag without a receipt.”

“AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AWFUL PLATFORM Awful customer service, no control of listings descriptions. Awful platform. I will never buy there again. - I would like to add that I usually don’t write bad reviews but I would like to express my dissatisfaction with Vestiaire as a brand new buyer. I tried the platform first as a buyer to see how well their customer service and platform was. In my mind if the orders went well I would consider them to sell hundreds of designer articles that I have in my closet ( many new) Thank god that I didn’t do it because the experience I had with my purchase was one of the worst experiences ever. Their customer service did not care about the issue nor tried to understand it. And they simply ignored my requests. If you choose to authenticate an item using their methods beware because even if the item is authentic and the description of the item is accurate if they choose they will cancel the order for any other reason other than been authentic (which is the whole purpose to send to authenticate). In my case I bought a designer item that was sold but sold out in Farfetch and is currently in their website. I found it in Vestiaire. The description was accurate by the seller, the item was validated as authentic yet my purchase was never received and sent back to the seller who was also in shock of the whole situation as to why it happened( the seller got a strike for the return for no reason since the seller had the correct description and the item was authentic) so BEWARE SELLERS !! This could happen to you ( I feel bad for the seller since I am a witness that she did everything right. Therefore the authentification is not for the customer’s peace of mind at all, it served as an extra layer for them to decide for both the seller and the customer based in their wrong algorithms and bad information. They have several of the same items that I purchased listed still in their site ( I wonder if the people who’ll buy these items will go through the nightmare that both the seller and I went through trying to get someone to understand what was happening). If Vestaire’s processes or algorithms are wrong, uff!!! good luck trying to get a person there to fix it. It is impossible. They will not examine individual cases even if is their own platform’s (algorithm)fault or issues. BEWARE SELLERS AND BUYERS. This is not a company that has the capacity to deal with listings. They overlook listings and customer service won’t study individual cases to see where the problem was. This is a big RED FLAG when you have algorithms that are wrong and you don’t have competent customer service to actually look at the problems. They will only use standardized messages like the one below to act like they care but they don’t. I am surprised that this company functions and I am in shock that they still have sellers. BEWARE OF THIS PLATFORM. I am erasing my account today! I should’ve looked at their horrible ratings before giving them a try. BEWARE!!!! Date of experience: September 24, 2023”
