“I was a very satisfied Tradesy customer. I had a small transferable credit which rolled over to Vestiaire. I find their site incredibly laborious to navigate, and their platform does not store my sizes or preferences regardless of how many times I 'save' things. Customer service is a joke. Further, I have several new high end items for sale, which they keep trying to get me to lower to prices that are lower than poor quality one would expect at Target. I'm through with this terrible sham of a company. I highly recommend Mercari. They're from Palo Alto, CA, have excellent fast customer service, great buyers, easy to list, reasonable fees, and fast bank transfers. They aren't necessarily a platform for high end Gucci bags (for example), but I have sold a variety of items ranging from my collections of Alessi (Italian) coffee sets, to my fencing foils, vintage Armani hats, and beautiful vintage collection of baby clothes from the 40's. I love Mercari. Bye Bye Vestiaire....terrible site....pompous name ...and I'm passing up on my silly little $32 credit from Tradesy days just to rid myself of the nightmare experience.”

“I'm not sure how they can still be in business, the customer support is not there, as a seller, you are totally lost, they do what they want, pictures don't upload, the website lists it as another item or brand, despite the fact that you listed it as the right brand. I'm not sure there are people on the other end, their authentication service is ridiculous and only there to make money, I listed twice items and showed all the flaws clearly and also mentioned them, they rejected despite those flaws and didn't even ask the buyer, who then messaged me, we (with great difficulty) communicated that I would list on eBay and they ended up buying this way. I take pictures of all items I sell, as some buyers switch the items, claim they got something else and you get something totally worthless back, Vestiaire just doesn't seem to care.”

“THE WORST! Never order anything from them. I have been buying and selling on the site for a couple of years, and it has gotten worse and worse. I ordered two things over a week ago. One order is lost and the other was never shipped by the seller, and Vestiare is not refunding the charge, even though they say they do it automatically after a week. The chat is horrible and no help. They just repeat useless information about their policy and don't DO anything. It is impossible to get anyone who can actually help you. There is NO customer service. AVOID THIS SITE.”

“HORRIBLE for sellers. Ive sold hundreds of items on eBay, poshmark, Mercari. Every platform has its quirks but this one is NOT WORTH IT They police your photos. I tried to model clothes and they deleted them. Close up photos - deleted. I have learned from years of selling PEOPLE WANT to see clothing modeled. They ban you from chat for no reason. Nothing but low ball offers and a glitchy site. Always trying to get you to lower to Walmart prices. They just DELETED 300+ of my listings because they no longer support the brands I’m selling …. Like what ?? Are you trying to lose money and sellers? I even had people ask me in chat “where did that dress go I wanted to buy it”. Some “green washing” PR stunt NO ONE asked for… Also they won’t let buyers cancel an order, so I had to ship a buyer an order they did not want and felt bad… like why can’t you just let them cancel? Bizarre !! STAY FAR FAR AWAY”

“They are incredible horrendous, they now use Royal Mail tracked 48 for sending, twice now something went wrong with the scan, despite the postman having picked something up, instead of the confirmation mail I get that they couldn't pick up my parcel, you kidding me, Royal Mail has it, the idiot bot who claims to be customer service tells me each time to wait, then it shows as not sent, I lose my item. I asked the postman, he said he can confirm he picked it up, but it is the system, tried to talk to Vestiaire, gosh, almost like talking to a brick wall, they deliberately never give you a straight answer or do anything. I noticed they even have stopped replying to reviews with their generic copy and paste BS, given up the pretense to care, but however they still send their shills to post glowing 1 liner reviews about how great Vestiaire is. Btw be careful, they also change all the time their criteria, but never tell you, so the clueless and untrained who pretend to be authentication can knock back cheaper items to make their cut, because when it comes to high end, they are totally lost and about as smart as their customer service. Total shysters, Vestiaire is not interested in the environment, they are interested in ripping buyers and sellers off, I think the only reason why they have a 1.6 star rating is because they send their shills to do the odd 5 star review”

“Absolutely unreasonable shipping cost charged by VC for direct shipment between buyer and seller. Refund timing different from their company policy. No explanation is given for the delay.”

“Absolutely horrible, sold an item and sent the same day, then it is at the parcel shop ready for pickup, only the buyer tells me she goes there every day, the parcel shop can't find it, she tries to contact Vestiaire who request a lot of documentation from her that she doesn't have because she has NO PARCEL, according to the tracking it is still at the parcel shop, so the job from the "customer service" would simply be to call the delivery company (Evri) and ask to open an investigation, as Vestiaire has issued the label but they don't! So the buyer has no dress, I have no money and Vestiaire customer service tries to keep it that way, screwing us both over as they have the money, who cares about the buyer or the seller, if they would look at the tracking it is clear as day that I have sent it and the buyer has not received it, but the mental capacity of the people they employ doesn't stretch that far. This company is the worst and are possibly only in business because there is not enough competition. Customer service? You are having a laugh! They send out standard replies and avoid doing anything, not sure if their "staff" is too lazy or too stupid to do a good job, maybe they like their staff this way, because they have the money. I documented everything because with direct shipping some people steal items but they are not even interested. If you think Vestiaire cares about sustainable fashion, THINK AGAIN”

“The Premier place for used prestige brands. The fact items have authentication makes a huge difference to buying confidence from anywhere in the world.”

“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.”
