“I ordered a pair of shoes on 20th August. The shoes were sent on 28th August after 7 pm via vestiare direct shipping which is after their own cancellation policy deadline! I should have received my refund after the 28th. Instead they forced me to accept the delivery. The shoes have never left France. I live in Germany. The shoes remain at a pick up spot in courbevoie! Today I was told to go an pick up the shoes. So they expect me to travel 606 km!!!!! The biggest problem is that no one seems to read the carrier’s information on the la poste website. There it is plain to see that the shoes have never left the country”

Dear Elif, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your case about the shipping timeframe and the delivery of the Prada Leather trainers purchased on August 20, 2025. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused. After checking, we have seen that the seller shipped the item within the expected timeframe. However, carrier updates often take 24–48 hours to appear after the initial drop-off. The item was mistakenly marked as delivered on September 2nd, even though the shoes never left France. Because you confirmed non-receipt, our team initiated an investigation with the carrier to locate the item. The investigation concluded that the carrier failed to deliver the item to you. Consequently, your refund was issued on September 14, 2025. We trust these funds have reached your account. Please be aware that when an item is marked as delivered, but the buyer confirms they have not received it, our procedure requires opening a full investigation with the carrier. This process is complex and can take several weeks. Only after the investigation is concluded, and the item cannot be located do we issue a refund to the buyer. We remain at your disposal if needed, Best regards, The Vestiaire Collective team

“Absolutely ridiculous!! I bought shoes from vestiaire, the seller claimed they were BRAND NEW, i received used shoes with cracked shoes and rubbed suede. I took photos within 15 minutes of collecting parcel and returned them. The seller lied that they were not damaged when she sent. Vestiaire instead of believing me with all the evidence, believed her and sent me those shoes back!!! PLEASE AVOID this platform!!!”

Dear Member, Thank you for your feedback, and sharing your experience with us. We understand your concerns regarding the return of the Sophia Webster Flats you sent back to the seller, that were recently returned to you. After our review, we have confirmed that the shoes were delivered to the seller, who informed us that the item they received was not in the same condition as it was when shipped to you. They supplied us with photographs of the item prior to shipping, and we have escalated this matter to our relevant team for further examination. It has been determined that there was no damage when the seller shipped the item; therefore, it has been returned to you. We recognize that this outcome is not what you had hoped for; however, since it has been verified that the item is compliant with our policies, we must uphold this decision. We trust this information clarifies your concerns. If you require any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. Best regards, The Vestiaire Collective team

“I shipped my item, delivery was confirmed, but Vestiaire cancelled the sale, refunded the buyer, and let them keep it. I still haven’t been paid. Sellers beware, they can take your item and leave you with nothing.”

“As a Seller – Item Lost, No Proof, No Compensation Selling on Vestiaire Collective has been one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with any platform. I shipped out an item following all the required steps. The buyer never received it — and I was later told the parcel was “returned to me.” But I never received anything. And despite asking multiple times, Vestiaire has provided zero proof of this so-called return: No recipient name No timestamp No delivery address No delivery confirmation or signature The tracking number they referenced shows no completed delivery, and doesn’t even recognize my postal code. Still, they closed the case, citing “company policy” — refusing to refund me or escalate the issue further. So now, the item is gone, the buyer didn’t get it, and I’ve lost the item and the money. Vestiaire’s position? Shrug and walk away. Their customer service has been evasive, unhelpful, and completely unwilling to provide accountability or transparency. Sellers carry all the risk, and Vestiaire offers no protection if something goes wrong. For a company that charges such high commissions, their level of support is disgraceful. I strongly discourage anyone from selling through this platform — if anything goes wrong, you’re on your own.”

“Extremely Disappointing and Inconsistent I’ve had a very frustrating experience with Vestiaire Collective. I listed an authentic Jacquemus bag (Ref. 57171748) with all the required details, only to have it rejected without a clear explanation. What’s worse is that this isn’t the first time—the exact same thing happened with a Jacquemus T-shirt (Ref. 54431278), which was initially refused, then later approved and sold after I re-uploaded it. It passed their so-called “verification” process without issue. Vestiaire claims items are verified after being sold and physically inspected. Yet they’re now making inconsistent calls based on photos alone, without giving sellers a chance to prove authenticity properly. This is unprofessional, arbitrary, and unacceptable. I’m extremely disappointed and feel disrespected as a trusted seller. If you value your time and credibility, think twice before listing with them. I will be sharing this experience on every platform I can.”

“Terrible experience. I listed my authentic Hermès shoes for sale and was later informed that they were being returned — despite receiving confirmation that they are authentic. Instead of asking for an invoice or any additional proof of purchase, the platform made a unilateral decision, which not only damaged the trust but also cost me $150 in delivery fees. I expected a more transparent and fair verification process, especially when dealing with premium designer items. This experience was not only disappointing, but costly. Never ever again”

“Ordered my first item with a welcome discount. It vanished. No delivery, no update—just magically returned to the seller. Vestiaire’s response? A shrug in email form. “No reshipment. Please relist.” Ah yes, the famous customer service strategy: do nothing and hope the problem goes away. Neither buyer nor seller did anything wrong, but both were tossed back to square one. Their system runs like a Kafka novel—confusing, circular, and designed to exhaust your will to shop. Trying to reuse the first-time coupon? Be ready to send screenshots, chase support agents like ghosts, and receive conflicting replies. Eventually, after enough pestering, they cave. But only because you’ve outlasted their indifference. Shopping here feels like doing unpaid work for a company that actively resents your presence. Use Vestiaire Collective if you enjoy solving mysteries, arguing with bots, and being treated like a glitch in their matrix.”

“The buyer has refused my item and for 1 month I can't get my item back, every single day speaking via chat with customer support, millions of promises, but still the shipping has't been solved. Impossible to speak with a higher management team.”

“I’m incredibly grateful I found FRED MERCY. They are true professionals when it comes to helping victims of investment fraud. From the beginning, their team acted swiftly and provided me with clear guidance and essential resources. Their support was instrumental in helping me recover my lost funds. What stood out most was their transparency and professionalism. They broke down the legal process in a way I could understand, and they walked me through every step. They also assisted me in gathering all the critical documentation I needed, which made a big difference. Thanks to FRED MERCY, I was able to reclaim my hard-earned savings. While this was a difficult experience, it taught me an important lesson: always be cautious when investing online. Do thorough research and consult with trusted professionals before making any financial commitments.”

“I’ve been a responsible buyer and seller on this platform for over two years, with dozens of successful transactions. Unfortunately, despite my long-term use, every time I’ve encountered an issue, the customer support has been consistently inadequate. Expect to go through multiple chat conversations, with frequent changes in the support team member responding — each time having to start over and re-explain everything. There are no telephone numbers, no email contacts, and absolutely no way to escalate your case to a senior representative. The only option is an inefficient chat system. There have been several frustrating incidents: A brand-new Moncler ski jacket, bought directly from the official store and complete with tags, was rejected during authentication. I had to reach out to the retailer and request proof of purchase just to confirm its authenticity — they were baffled, and frankly amused, by the platform’s decision. A luxury Celine bag arrived crumpled in a box, folded without any filler or protective inserts. The warehouse packaging is shockingly unprofessional for high-end items. Most recently, I received a pair of poor-quality sunglasses. When I reached out to report the issue, the platform refused to contact the seller or offer any form of compensation. That was the final straw. Overall, the customer service is simply poor and not what you’d expect from a platform that handles high-value items. If you’re considering where to buy or sell, I strongly suggest exploring alternatives.”

“REALLY BAD service of authentification. I ordered a Dolce & Gabbana Dress which got authentified as ok (I paid for this service). It arrived in poor state with a non original zip. I tried to talk to them, they just refused my opinion and wouldnt refund me. They dont reply to my emails. BAD SERVICE-NO COMMUNICATION-NO RESOLUTION”

“I purchased two products from the Vestiare Colectiv website and was extremely disappointed. The items I received are cheap replicas, in very poor condition, with obvious stains and tears—issues that were not mentioned in the original description. This shows a complete lack of transparency. I tried to return the products, but was told that returns are no longer possible, and the customer service is unhelpful and uncooperative. I feel cheated and strongly advise everyone to be very careful before buying from this site, as you risk receiving counterfeit or severely damaged items with no option for return. I believe this site seriously damages consumer trust and harms the integrity of the brands it promotes.”

“My account was blocked immediately after it was created. I only intended to sell a pair of boots that were gifted to me but are too big for my size. I uploaded all the documents and photos requested, yet the account was still blocked under the excuse of “protection.” Protection from what, exactly? If you question the authenticity of the boots, why ask for so many documents in the first place? Also, the tone used in your emails is increasingly disappointing. Let me remind you: it’s the buyers and sellers who keep your platform running — not the other way around. Wasting my time like this is unacceptable. We’re not talking about a mansion sale — it’s just a pair of boots. In the end, eBay never disappoints!”
