I love that I got a vintage bag at a decent price. Though, I wish some of the pictures were more clear for fine detail scratches or scuffs that aren't always visible or clear if it's a "camera glare"... See more

The seller-side customer service is horrific

The customer service is appalling. I tried getting answers with three different reps and no one resolved my problem. They would just drop off.

This would recur with each listing I was going to sell. They're great at luring you to list products, but the follow through is terrible. 1.5 months went by on a listing edit and the items weren't posted. Once, I ended up selling a bag for next to nothing (received $8) because of how it was handled.

Stay away and go sell at a local consignment store if you can.

Sweater has stains on it that were not disclosed in the listing. Sweater is still in decent condition and I hope I can get the stains out but there are 1-2 on the front. One stain is crusty like dried food.

Not especially satisfied with their commission rate…

The company kept me abreast as to status of my handbag items. Not so with the jewelry. They advised me of what handbag was sold and my commission for it, but that didn't happen with my jewelry (that was all sold).
I will not sell with them again because of the extremely low commission rate they use.

Their software is severely outdated or poor. My shipping label was nowhere to be found on my account on my app, and the tracking system on their app, not on the UPS website, kept on being out of date. Including saying that things were still arriving when they had already arrived. Additionally, they’re sizing is way off, they don’t size the same way that the companies do that they sell.
