“They sent a Hermès carré ("très bon état") with a huge yellowish spot. As I was on holidays I complained after 4 instead of 3 days and they refused to solve the matter. When enlarging the photo the seller had posted one can see the spot perfectly. They even said the scarf was examined by an expert bevor sending it to me. Either they are lying or incapable. Anyhow, their customer service is unfriendly and incompetent. Beware !”

“Bought a pair of Golden Goose trainers a couple of years ago and re-sold on Vinted to be told (very embarrassingly) by the buyer that they are fakes. Messaged VC and it's just absolute nonsense on the chatbot and impossible to make progress with a complaint. I feel like VC has gone massively downhill in the last couple of years and would now say AVOID AVOID AVOID.”

“I have now used most preloved platforms as both a buyer and seller and believe that Vestiaire is by far the best. As a seller, I’ve been very happy with the process and revenue received and as a buyer, I’ve found many vintage gems at reasonable prices, all supported by warm and responsive customer service. I’ve also found the community most helpful and friendly. In over five years trading very regularly on the site, I have only ever had one concern about authenticity, which was addressed seriously, timeously and expertly. I recommend the Consignment Service if you are short of time and/or capacity to manage listings.”

“Terrible customer service. Their authentication process is faulty and worst of all they cannot tell you what to do differently to correct issues. All of my items were purchased directly by me brand new from original boutiques I have no doubt of authenticity. I provided receipts, bar codes however still rejected with no explanation. With a system this faulty I can only think there will be other issues too. the arrogant customer reps only augment the issue.”

“I have been selling with vestiare collective for years. I made them a lot of money but i’m done with that now! I shipped my vintage fendi croissant bag for authentication and the item got refused. They have someone who had no clue about vintage fendi bags!! They have the same fendi bag multiple times on there site!! Now they are asking me to pay 15€ to get my authentic bag back??? What’s wrong with u! Get your authenticators a proper eduction! You will send my bag back and i will file an official complaint”

“I sold my item and shipped it per instructions, but the buyer never collected their package and ignored my messages. After two months, the package was returned to me but UPS charged me €25.99 for the return shipping and Vestiaire refused to cover the expenses. I also didn’t get paid as the buyer has to inspect the received goods first, before the payment is processed. Why to penalize the seller if a buyer changes their mind after the sale?”

“STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I bought here Valentino Garavani sandals in "very good condition". The sandals were inspected by Vestiaire quality control team and they even attached their label to it. Once the shoes arrived they were a bit small and Vestiaire offered the solution to resell them, which I did. Once the new buyer received the shoes she complained for no reason as the shoes were as described with all labels attached. However, Vestiaire accepted the complain and the sandals returned to me. Once I wrote to customer service, George R who works there, completely ignored my messages and never replied (for 2 days now). Once I asked them via email to send the sandals to them again so they can see that they are the same condition as described, with all Vestiaire tags attached, they simply ignored this. This has nothing to do with money, it is about DISRESPECT that this company shows towards its Buyers and Sellers, it is about customer service that does not exist, it is about the fact that they take very high provisions from sellers and now even additional provisions from Buyers and they offer nothing in return. They are completely INCAPABLE of handling the direct shipping options as it is easier for them to accept all possible complains instead of dealing with any situation at all. PAY ATTENTION THAT ALL POSITIVE COMMENTS HERE ARE INVITED ONES, while all other, REAL COMMENTS, are actually negative experiences from their Buyers and Sellers. A shame.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”
