Major Highlights of the Week

Fake Items Sold
The platform's authentication process is failing, allowing counterfeit items to be sold and delivered to buyers, undermining trust in the marketplace. This issue is exacerbated by the lack of effective resolution from customer service when buyers report receiving fake products.
I bought a designer bag that turned out to be fake, and customer service refused to help or refund me.
High Fees
The app imposes exorbitant fees on both buyers and sellers, significantly reducing the profitability for sellers and increasing costs for buyers, which discourages transactions. This fee structure is perceived as exploitative and is driving users to alternative platforms.
I sold an item for $22 and only received $9 after fees, which is a 60% cut.
Poor Customer Service
Customer service is unresponsive and ineffective, often providing generic responses without resolving issues, leading to frustration and distrust among users. The lack of direct communication channels exacerbates the problem, leaving users feeling unsupported.
I contacted customer service about a missing refund, but they ignored my messages and never resolved the issue.
Account Suspensions
Users are experiencing account suspensions without clear reasons or prior warnings, disrupting their ability to buy or sell and causing significant frustration. The lack of transparency and communication regarding these suspensions is a major concern.
My account was suspended immediately after signing up, with no explanation or way to contact support.
Delayed Payments
Sellers face significant delays in receiving payments after sales, sometimes waiting weeks without clear communication or resolution from the platform. This issue is causing financial strain and dissatisfaction among sellers.
I sold an item over a month ago and still haven't received my payment despite multiple follow-ups.
App Glitches
The app is plagued with technical issues, including login errors, slow performance, and frequent crashes, which hinder the user experience and deter engagement. These persistent glitches are not being addressed promptly, leading to user attrition.
I can't log in to the app due to constant errors, making it impossible to manage my listings.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I was sold a fake bag, and customer service did nothing to help. They refused to refund me and suggested I re-list it to pass it on to another person. Buyer beware!
JayVV2
The app shows vendors less than what the buyer is willing to pay because it wants to profit twice from commissions. Buyers spend more and vendors make less, plus there are service fees on top of hidden commission schemes!

I sold many items through Vestiaire for years, and out of nowhere, they deactivated my account. Customer service said it was a mistake and would fix it, but months later, nothing has changed.
