“I had a deeply disappointing experience with Vestiaire Collective. I reported an accidental purchase immediately, before the item was even shipped, expecting a simple cancellation. Instead, I was told my only option was to resell the item myself. In other words, I went from being a customer to being forced into becoming a seller to fix a situation I tried to prevent from the start. Their own support team advised me to file a misleading-description claim just to obtain a refund, which obviously makes no sense. Even the seller confirmed he would have cancelled if the platform allowed it without damaging his rating. The system seems built in a way that protects internal metrics rather than customers. What should have been a quick, reasonable resolution turned into unnecessary back-and-forth, wasted time and needless frustration. This was my first experience with Vestiaire Collective and, based on how little they value customer satisfaction, it will certainly be my last.”

Dear member, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that our service did not meet your expectations and understand your concerns about canceling your order for the Hackett London Cufflinks. To clarify, only the seller can cancel orders once they are placed. For more details: https://faq.vestiairecollective.com/hc/en-gb/articles/22916229903505-Buyer-How-Do-I-Cancel-My-Order-and-get-a-Refund If a seller does not ship an item within 7 days of a sale, the order will be automatically canceled. Additionally, if there is an issue with the received item, buyers can submit a claim within 72 hours of delivery, providing evidence of discrepancies. Cancellation will occur only if the issue is valid. Our team has informed you about these options and mentioned that the order can be canceled if the item does not match its description. Upon review, we see that although a claim was raised regarding color issues after shipment, it was denied as the item matches its description. In such cases, we recommend relisting to help recover your investment. We see that you have already relisted the item under your account. These policies are designed to protect both buyers and sellers while fostering trust on our platform. Thank you for understanding. While we respect your decision not to continue with us, we are here to assist further if needed. Best regards, The Vestiaire Collective team

“I have quite a good experience for a couple of years with VC, both as a seller and a buyer. But the day you'll have an issue, VC don't give you any right to defend yourself and if you ask for details, it's always "confidential". I had a situation with an item listed, for which the team of experts canceled the sale, and they issued a report that does not say that it is a fake item, but only because they considered that the size and composition label are not compliant, they cancel it. I asked for explanations and I wanted to know, for example, what size they thought the said dress would be, and they only answered that it was confidential. The sale was canceled without real arguments. FYI: Model, Material, Branding elements (label, logo, typography, etc.), Manufacturing finishes, Zipper/Stud/Button were all compliant. Not to mention that their fees are high!! They charge a lot in fees and also the shipment costs are expensive.”

Dear Airam, Thank you for your feedback. We understand your case regarding the authenticity review of the Isabel Marant Mini dress sold on November 27, 2025, and our commission structure. As the buyer selected Authenticated Shipping, the item was sent to our hub for a physical inspection. Following a thorough review, our experts determined that the item does not meet our brand standards. Specifically, the composition and size labels do not conform to the brand's official specifications. As a result, the sale was cancelled. In accordance with our policy, a return shipping fee was required to send the item back to you. Our records indicate that the item has already been shipped and should now be back in your possession. Please be assured that ensuring the authenticity of every item is our top priority, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding non-compliant or counterfeit goods. We want to explain that the selling fees on each item help us provide free shipping labels and insurance for sellers in over 40 countries. You are informed of the seller price at the time of deposit and when a member makes a price offer. Know that selling fee rates differ based on the item's price.

“The item I purchased was listed/advertised as an Hermes purse. What I received was a package of Hermes women's stockings/hose. I asked Customer Service for a refund and that I would return the item undamaged/unused. I was offered a 15 Euro discount on my next purchase instead. Are you kidding me? The item was falsely advertised, I received an item that was NOT what was promoted on the site, and Vestiaire thinks a 15 Euro discount is sufficient? I don't trust purchasing anything on this site now, so a 15 Euro discount is useless -- not to mention it is nowhere near the purchase price I paid. Buyer Beware!”

Dear member, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand that your return request regarding a conformity issue with the coat was declined. As this item was purchased with Authenticated Shipping, it underwent a physical inspection at our hub before being delivered to you. Our expert team confirmed that the item matched the description and met our brand standards at that time. Following your report of a conformity issue, we agreed to a second manual inspection at our hub rather than a direct return for a refund. After a careful review of your report and the item itself, our team confirmed again that the item matches the original description. Consequently, the item has been relisted for sale under your account. Once the new listing is available, the new seller can contact our team to edit it. According to our policy, if a buyer reports an issue with an authenticated item, we provide a second inspection. If the item is found to match the description, it is relisted on the buyer's behalf. If you preferred to have the item returned to you instead of relisted, please contact our team. A refund is only processed if the item is found to be non-compliant. Please check the following link about the return policy : https://faq.vestiairecollective.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360004969178-Buyer-Vestiaire-Collective-s-Return-Policy We remain available for further questions or requests, Best regards, The Vestiaire Collective team

To clarify our process: our policy requires us to initiate a formal investigation if there is no tracking update from the carrier for more than two working days. In such cases, we request specific documentation from the buyer to proceed with the inquiry. Regarding your recent purchase of the Chanel Boy leather crossbody bag, we have completed the investigation with the carrier. They have confirmed that the item was successfully delivered to the pickup point, and we have since received your confirmation that the package was safely received. As the matter is now resolved, no further documentation is required. Thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout this process.

“I sold a Dior Saddle handbag on Vestiaire Collective in September 2025. Vestiaire’s authentication team later claimed that the authenticity documents—clearly listed in my ad and included in my shipment—were not present. Despite my repeated requests, they have refused to provide compensation and will only return the bag or allow me to relist without the documents. I have filed a formal complaint and requested the unboxing footage for verification (not provided) but the issue remains unresolved. While the platform is convenient for buyers, my experience as a seller has been frustrating and has resulted in lost time and potential income. I recommend other sellers photograph and document every step carefully and consider these risks before using Vestiaire Collective. They are clearly interested in transactions and not customer experience”

Dear Member, Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the outcome of our second authentication of your order: the Gucci leather belt and its relisting under your account. Please note that we take authenticity very seriously. While all items undergo an initial digital check before being published, after you expressed doubts about the item's authenticity, we unlocked the return to our hub for a physical authentication to confirm its genuineness. During this inspection, our expert team carefully examined details such as materials, finishing, typography, branding, and labeling. They confirmed that all these elements meet Gucci's brand standards, which validated it as authentic. In such cases, the relisting is automatic; we see that the item has since been successfully sold and your payment has been issued.

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.

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
