VC and Ebay are the most time wasting and frustrating platforms I’ve ever used. The only benefit with VC is good Chanel inventory and international buyers; other than that VC has a terrible culture of non-responsiveness, horrible policies, the highest fees and terrible promotions that are disingenuous they offer 15% off with a max of $75. VC should be honest and state $75 off max and with the time difference of buyers and sellers they’re 24 hour promotions are too short even VC takes months to respond to inquiries. All they do is send a message saying they’ll get back with you in 48 hours and then they do that again and that will go on for months. It’s outrageous that they charge a 40% fee between buyer and seller and they offer no service. They have the worst customer service, poor authentication, they permanently block buyer and seller communication so you can never negotiate if you want to purchase or sell, which makes it impossible to sell anything. They have a 30% threshold off of a list price. You can’t offer anything below it it won’t allow you to communicate or send the offer. All they do is sabotage buyers and sellers. VC hides a 20% buyer fee into the sellers list price blaming the seller for the high fee and price rather than breaking it down so buyers and sellers can understand how much the fees are and when you purchase there is no breakdown of the buyer fee in the buyer summary. In addition to the 40% fee between buyer and seller the buyer has to pay for duties fees, taxes, insurance shipping authentication and some other fees. It’s quite outrageous so buyers and sellers are so unhappy that they’ve stopped buying and selling on VC making it almost impossible to purchase or sell. I’ve accepted over 15 offers at a price that I’m not happy to accept but because it’s so hard to sell and none of the buyers have funded there’s no culture for responsiveness and VC thinks it’s OK that their buyers don’t fund so every time you receive an offer, you’re pretty certain that 99% the buyer won’t transact. VC put Sellers through a lot of time, wasting exercises and deletes listings. If they feel that they require additional information from people who are unqualified and reviewing the listing, sellers have no control over their listings, and the listing department will delete photos, rearrange photos, and change the language of the listing making you relist over and over and they will suggest that you relist and when you do all of a sudden the fee structure increases so you make less money. It’s really aggravating just a lot of effort with no results and no sales and no purchases. Everything I have purchased on eBay has been a counterfeit. I no longer purchase on eBay and I rarely did purchase anyways on that site. I don’t care for that platform either but everything I’ve purchased on VC has been a total time waster and I’ve had to chase VC for Help and they’re nonresponsive and each item was not as described the listing states new with tags and it they each arrived used no tags, altered, hemmed and damaged, I have no idea how VC cannot do the basics of inspection and authentication and then you have to chase VC for months and you will get nowhere. Whenever you need assistance in real time, you will never get it from VC. When they permanently block you from chat when you’ve done nothing wrong and you inquire, they won’t tell you anything they don’t send you a warning. They don’t send you an email explaining anything when you ask them they just ignore you. That’s what they do best.
VC never listens to buyers and sellers I’ve sent them countless complaints by buyers and sellers and VC has the worst reputation and reviews. They just simply do not care. I’ve wasted countless hours listing items and redoing them over and over because of their incompetence. I’m going to leave them on the site because of the effort that I’ve put in, but they’ve permanently blocked me from chat for no reason and I’ve done nothing wring. I saw one seller was blocked and I wrote in the comment section that I do not like it when VC block people for no reason and then buyers and sellers can’t communicate in the next thing I know I was permanently block. They love to give people a hard time their goal is to punish people.
