Horrified by my experience with their “customer service” team. There is no service provided to customers, no concern or care, and no ability to problem solve from what I can tell. The email thread is shocking. A seller did not ship my item within the required shipping window after they accepted my offer, so I was refunded. The seller then shipped the item in the app. I received it and then when I offered to do the right thing and pay but their only offered solution was for me to go out of my way to wire them money and cover the large wiring fee from my bank on top of the original charge, not holding the seller accountable for their error and causing this whole issue. They wanted me to financially pay for the seller’s mistake or return the item - neither of which I will be doing. They couldn’t reverse the refund or allow me to repurchase the item in the app (so easy) or send a payment link. I went out of my way with my bank and paid the amount less the wiring fee to end this nightmare after having been harassed daily for over a week and have since deleted my account and stopped replying. They are still coming at me for more money, even after I tried to do the right thing in a wrong situation. The only thing I did wrong was purchase something from this platform which I will not be using again.

The worst experience I’ve ever had purchasing online. Do not use this company! The company sucks and the sellers are even worse.

Their customer service has to be the worst I have ever encountered. I am not sure how this company continues to operate with such a poor attitude towards its service uses. Unbelievable. We need an alternative!!

If I could give a no star review then I would… An horrific customer experience. In the week that I have started to sell on the Vestiaire platform I have been accused of flaunting Vestiaire chat rules (that are unsubstantiated), then punished (with no commutation from Vestiaire), then lied to by the service team, then told that I’m not allowed to escalate my complaint!!! I have removed my items of clothing and suggest that people use other selling platforms.

Will never buy anything here again. I received a very obvious counterfeit item. They would not give me a refund when I returned it, because the item "matched the sellers description". Whether or not it matched the sellers description has no bearing on the authenticity. I tried to tell customer service this (who you can only reach by chat, and you are lucky if they respond with in 24 hrs, and have the mental capacity to understand what you are saying). Like the previous reviewer, they only offered to allow me to re-sell the item, and did not even give me the option to set the selling price, which they set for far lower than what I paid. This is a total scam. I am contacting my credit card company to file a transaction dispute, and will let them pursue getting my money back. Worst buying/customer service experience ever. Don't waste your time and money, shop elsewhere.

Bad company. Won’t accept returns and lie about it. Forget about refunds. You’ll probably want to return merchandise because it will not meet expectations. Rip off. Not sorry about it, but will say they are and tough luck on you.

If I could I would give -1 not 1 to this company and to the customer service. I ordered a bag that never arrived, since then I have been contacting every day the customer support team with mails, only to get as an answer that when they have news they will let me know. In every mail I keep explaining my concerns to multiple representatives again and again. I ask for a refund but the company refuses to take any responsibility or liability and keeps repeating that I will be informed soon. This state of affairs is absolutely frustrating and negative, even the legal department refuses to speak to me and I really feel hopeless. Date of experience: March 17, 2024

Impossible to leave no star which is what I would like to do. Joined. Made a single underbid on a 267 euro pair of shoes. Offer declined. 2 hours later got email saying my account was deactivated. Sought reason. Breached article 15 apparently which is a breach of terms abd conditions. Robotic customer service gave nothing further. So seller loses out on genuine bidder and I’m left feeling I’ve done something wrong. Stick to eBay and etsy. Avoid this shower of jokers.

The worst customer service ever. They offer no complaints procedure. Muddled, messy and delayed communication. I’ve had too many issues to list here as a seller, their “expert” authentication team that can’t tell the difference between a genuine item and a fake on the most basic level. I will finally be taking all my listings down. No big surprise that they are going bust.

WORST COMPANY EVER! Ran by a bunch of robots! They refuse to do what’s right and they allow fake items on their website and allow these same people to scam over and over again and do nothing about it but those who actually sell AUTHENTIC stuff gotta send in 85,000 pictures to get it listed a week or two later OR not listed at all! It’s unbelievable! And don’t even get me started on their customer service. Joke. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU THEY JUST CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY!!!

I sold my first item a couple of weeks ago, every smooth until the promise i would receive the payment within 5 working days…2 weeks later still no payment. My inquiry on this issue is only met with automated customer service replies asking for patience. With that, i was prompted to research the reviews and news about the company. Reviews are clear: lots of execution issues and poor customer service. News are more worrisome: they are not yet profitable, the business model is challenging (no one has managed to be profitable yet), and they are resorting to crowdfunding…the hallmarks of a failing company. People beware!

I tried listing my Louis Vuitton handbags. The process was very cumbersome. And ended up they couldn't be listed. Tried listing my loewe handbag. Was told that after careful review of pictures they couldn't list them. Won't waste my time. Also these buyers keep getting me offers, when I accepted the offers, no purchase happens. Very time wasting.

their customer service is appalling and they take no initiative to help you. a package i sent went missing whilst in transit and all they did was tell me to keep waiting and theres nothing they could do even though it was their shipping label. CS chat barely ever answers- it says 24/7 chat but i've been waiting for 3 hours for a response. the people who do, are rude, uninformed and just tell you to keep waiting. long story short- item got lost- then was delivered to recipient. the day its delivered, they cancel the order, refund the buyer and tell me that i need to wait while they investigate. the buyer confirmed she received it, and still no help. what is there to investigate? frauds.

Customer service is terrible they say that they will resolve the issue in 48 hours they don't they are still working on it 3 weeks later. Resolve means solve. For some background I informed them that their tracking was not working. they said they can see the item is sent and will update but that did happen so they then cancelled the order and returned the buyers money. Now they keep saying that they need to get the money back from the buyer. they take so much commission its absurd they cant make good on their side of the contract. Do not use this app.

The most appallingly deceitful and utterly useless platform and customer services I have ever come across. Clearly all the sellers who have been kicked off eBay. Vestiaire collective are complicit in the corruption and have no intention of assisting or answering questions.

Stay away, I have purchased a lot on here! But from this summer Vestiaire service came to unuseful completelly. 
Once I paid the order, I discovered another order with another items, another price and another cost of delivery, which was high increadibly on my Vestiaire account.
Moreover,
I did not receive this "fake" order, and, in the same way, I did not receive my order, which I really placed.
I received no help from Vestiaire Support with this strange and abnormal situation, Vestiaire customer service did not explain anything as to why this happened, and I did not get a refund for this incorrect order that I never placed.
All my billions of messages to Vestiaire support were ignored.
Later, I myself discovered that this item, which I did not receive and for which I was charged, appeared again in the list of items on sale and from the same Seller! So, this item, which was not delivered, returned to the Seller and went on sale again.
I notified Vestiaire support about this, but again, this information was also ignored. This seller is listed as a Trusted Vestiaire Seller!

Vestiaire customer service ignored all my requests, all my questions about my real order that I made, and all my messages asking me to look into the situation where my real order, confirmed by picts on my part, was replaced with a “fake” order that I never did and I never received.
Losing money, a lot of nerves, a lot of stress - this is about Vestiaire Collective, how it works.
I can attest to other customers' experiences, Vestiare's support is very poor. I don't recommend Vestiaire Collective longer.
Honestly, stay away. It's very nice of me to give one star, they deserve zero stars! They don't care about good clients! Date of experience: August 08, 2023’

Purchased Celine bag via VC from the seller in Australia. The seller anita23931433 is not longer responding online....! Be aware there are several there - Ivan, Anita, etc selling the same Celine Clasp Bag. It supposedly went through VC authentication centre in Hong Kong. It arrived with Chinese written label of some Chinese Certification agency. I attach the photos. What is that? I ordered VC authentication in France to certify it not some Chinese agency. The bag had no SN numbers, arrived without a Celine dust bag and a certificate and looked minty new which cannot be real since they stopped making them around 2018. I returned the bag to VC for a 2nd authentication. In a less than a day since recipt they came up with a verdict that bag “met standards of the brand” but did not confirm that it was the Celine bag which I bought. In other words they said that the bag was a good fake which is on par with some brand (not necessary Celine) standards but it was not Céline. I bought a specific bag which value assigns to Celine brand. I did not buy a bag which looks like Celine! What is the point of authentification if it approves contrefaits? Now I am given two options: 1) to receive the fake bag back and be forced to put it back on sale circulation, because I have to cover my losses or 2) VC will sell it for me and minus their commission. This means a 50% loss for me because I paid duties. And it means that VC enriches itself on sale of fakes! AND NOT JUST ONCE BUT MULTIPLE TIMES. Just think that B-corporation encourages circulation of fakes and enriches itself by commission! VC customer services rep Donah was not helpful today, just left me without resolving matter, not giving me the case number, no resolution. VC refused to provide with a copy of expertise. Since as I paid for their authentication and am I entitled to see their analysis and how the came up with the conclusions I have been VC client for over 6 years, sold and bought. I was such a supporter of VC and circular fashion. I am disappointed that VC encourages and makes money on sale of fakes, that authentication is unreliable. How can such a company go IPO? How can us customers rely on their authentication and the entire process? Vestiare Collective: You are seriously in breach of French and EU Law. If you read this I bought the bag relying on your on honest, professional authentication services. Since you have not met this I wish to receive a refund on the bag and fees which I paid for authentication + duty fees. The entire purchase. Ref. 39547189
