“Never sell through Vestiare Collective with an authenication request from the buyer that requires you to send your product to France. Things get ‘lost’ there quite often; packaging open, product gone. VC provides the shipping labels and thus payment to the carrier and is thus responsible for loss, but they send automated emails and don't reply. Don't do it: rogue mentality there. It cost my €550.”

“Great concept of trying to be more eco-friendly by letting people re-sell their items but comes with a massive hole. I bought an item and bought it on good faith from the seller via Vestiaire based on the pictures and descriptions. What I received was not what was described. There were disclosures about the state of the bag and it was described as very good. Sadly this was not the case when I received the bag with worn out leather, frayed ends and all round the bag wasn't in great condition. I contacted Vestiaire to try and resolve this and I was shut down in 5 mins and told 1. They couldn't do anything about it 2. That I could not speak to someone more senior. The only solution they could offer me was to re-list the bag for no selling fee. Not what was expected considering this was my first purchase from them. I won't be purchasing using Vestiaire again and would urge you to double/triple check the pictures and items to see what you're actually getting. I have had to contact my credit card company to try and resolve the matter meanwhile I am hundreds of £ out of pocket.”

“DON'T BUY HERE. Recently, I ordered a Gucci bag through Vestiaire, but upon receipt, it was immediately apparent that it was fake. Despite paying extra for an 'additional check', I received a report stating there were further flaws, but I believed I could fix them myself. Once received, it was glaringly obvious that it was a fake bag. I noticed it right away, as did everyone around me. Even the brand inside the zipper was unfamiliar to me. The leather is fake, with loose seams and other shortcomings. I contacted Vestiaire immediately, and they sent me a return label. After a second check, they again claim the bag is genuine and intend to resell it under my name. I would then be responsible for all additional costs. This is truly unbelievable. You wouldn't expect this from such a well-known website. I've also asked friends, and they've had similar experiences. So, be extremely cautious because once you've placed an order, you've lost your money.”

“Account suspended immediately after signing up? I downloaded the app from Google Play store, I created a new account using my phone number and email address. As soon as I entered the SMS code to verify my account, the application logged me out and said "Account Suspended" This is the first time I have ever tried to use this website and have no idea why my account was immediately suspended. I did not even have a chance to log-in - as soon as I pressed "Verify SMS code" it suspended my account. I emailed customer service but still no reply.. Is this even a real website? Was anyone able to actually create an account?”

“They don’t pay you for the items that you sell via direct shipping, and customer service leaves you on read. Avoid at all cost.”

“They have very shady refunds processes. I had two recent experiences that was eligible for a full refund, both of them was delayed as they were not transferred to the relevant team even after it was confirmed by the support team. They "sit" on your refund after as long as possible, what's the end goal here? I used a discount code for £25, which brought to total down to £104 for two items and I was refunded only £34.5 for an item that cost £55 with the shipment pre-discount. They refuse to explain why they chose to apply £20 discount to the lower cost (refunded item) and they closed off the thread.”

“Where do I start? Best with PLEASE IGNORE THE BOTS WHO DO ONLINERS HOW GREAT IT IS, the reality is, the website is often not accessible, they try to force you to use their app, which is worse than any spyware, the IT is absolutely horrendous, what a joke for a web based international business. They claim that they offer no seller's fees on thousands of brands, yet you can't look up what the brands are, that link doesn't work.... They now reduced the amount of pictures you can upload to 10, really, because it costs too much? You are already charging the sellers and the buyers, you ban people from chat if they try to help each other out because there seems to be a delivery problem, because your customer service is as useful as a chocolate tea pot and as clever as a goldfish (and I want to say sorry to all the goldfish, they don't deserve that) Then as a buyer and seller, I have the feeling that the clueless "staff" they employ is trying to find issues, it happened several times that they reported an issue with an item, I checked the pictures, couldn't see anything, purchased, the item was absolutely fine. I guess their underqualified stuff needs to find a certain quota of issues. Customer service, it isn't there, it is ridiculous, emails you send via their webform simply don't get answered, you often don't even get a confirmation, if you go into chat, you talk to somebody who is totally clueless, repeats auto-responses and seems to be a few fries short of a happy meal. Please please, let there be another site like VC, only one with qualified people, a site where they employ people with an IQ in double digits, please please”

“BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!! They don’t even deserve 1 star. I would give a negative number if I could. This is one of the worst companies I have ever done business with. I ordered a DG belt that said never worn, new with tags. When I received it, it had markings on the top and bottom. The seller says they were never there and Vestaire collective says they checked and the photos depict the damage which they do not. They won’t refund my money and they have instead relisted the item under my name. I also purchased a pair of shoes, paid and the Seller cancelled the sale. Customer service tried to help but they work for a company that doesn’t stand by their products. False advertising, the sellers have more rights than the buyers and their QC control is BS. Save your money and the stress. Shop elsewhere!”

“I had ordered sunglasse, prada, which were clearly removed from package before sending ( empty container inside a heavily taped box) till now no proper communication, only chat bots, always starting from the beginning. The law is clear: they have to send my refund asap as they are reliable. Instead i am wasting my time on chat bot communication. No service of online responsibility at all! This is a bad as it can get for an online shop.”

“From the seller point of view this is the worst platform on the market. The reason for their very high fee is the trust brought by their team of "experts" that review the items. These experts will let fakes through, but will wrongly claim inconsistencies or defects in items, and once their report is out, nothing can be done. One example: I sold a vintage barbour jacket, and the expert claimed that a snap was missing from the collar flap, which turned out to be untrue, and never provided any evidence or picture to back the claim. They however went straight to the buyer saying there was an issue with the item and he could cancel the sale. He only noticed it once the sale was cancelled automatically. I received the item back and it is perfect, nothing missing. Customer support was completely useless throughout the entire process, repeating the same line over and over again when they were clearly in the wrong, and in the end they banned me from the chat. Users keep lowballing items and VC heavily and repeatedly sends pop ups pushing sellers to drop their prices to ridiculous lows. They also ban any information sharing including pictures between users for fear people would use other platforms, because their added value is so low. I've been an avid user of Vinted and Stockx and others, VC is a complete joke.”

“I tried to sell a few designer shoes, listed quite low, I got offers that are ridiculous, I would rather donate them, and to make it even better, despite showing the shoes from every angle with over 20 pictures, a bunch of guys wanted to see them worn, even telling me how I should pose, seriously, this site seems to attract the Only Fans audience”

“I have had the worst experience with this company. I bought an item that did not fit me. They refused to refund me, please do not order from this website, it’s better to order from another company because if anything goes wrong they will not refund you. On top of that I’m not sure that the item is genuine. Wasted my money as a single mum of three kids.”

“It is turning more and more into a joke, if they would only be able to employ people who are capable of reading or have at least a working brain cell, you can list every minor scratch of an item, take pictures of it, but that doesn't help as the badly trained staff doesn't look at the pictures or reads. I doubt they would be able to survive in any other job, as even stacking shelves would require an IQ higher than that of your general Vestiaire Collective drone. they don't know the rules of their own website and you can't even talk to any of them as their customer service is the biggest joke of all”

“I ordered a jacket from them cost over 300 GBP, the seller gave me the wrong measurements so it was too small. After sending it back to them they are refusing to give me a refund or the jacket back and are going to sell it on their site and charge me a fee. The item also had a mark on the sleeve. Customer service called me back and talked over me then said it was a bad line although I could hear them fine and then they cut me off. This is a big statement, but this is the worst company I have ever dealt with, not only did they miss sell the item, they also refuse to refund me, and they won't return the item as they want to sell it again and charge me a fee, PayPal contacted. Do not use this site there is no buyer protection”

“I bought for the first time on this platform on March 28 and I wished I did not do it. I bought a pair shoes Amida MuAddi flagged as “never worn” (which means there should not be any defects or alterations). No defects have been mentioned to me in the description or flag during the authenticated quality check. However, when my item has been delivered there was a hole on it. They are not processing my refund and they are absolutely useless. The worst experience ever.”

“I ordere an Prada Polo that is absolute fake. There’s strange labeling and there is no indication at all what the fabric is, surely this is not cotton, surely they simply deny any claim obnoxiously.”

“I've sold my bag and asked VC if they're ok that I'll arrange an international shipping while I'm on a trip. There was no response from their support for days so I've shipped the bag. I was doing this before and it was fine. When manager got in touch with me he confirmed that it's ok. Then all the fun started. I've notified VC immediately and provided receipt and already working tracking number via email and chat. Also I confirmed in my profile that bag was shipped. 3 of the managers confirmed that they marked in system that bag was shipped and put extended time for shipping so I have "noting to worry about". Couple of days later the sale was canceled without any reason. Today is day 8 when I'm waiting for their reply. I've sent over 35 emails, more than 40 messages in chat. Tried to call, texted on IG, commented on IG, put stories on IG - and nothing. The only thing that I receive is email claiming that my case is open and previous manager will be in touch. And NOBODY I mean NOBODY gets in touch. I start to have a feeling that the only way to get their attention is to bring them to the court. Extremely disrespectful attitude towards customers.”
