Where to sell 2nd hand designer clothes

For all of you who struggled with the established websites and had the frustration with the old, a new player is there, called Joli Closet ( Joli Closet ) The downside is it is not very well known at the moment and the website is in English and French only, for the moment, but apparently this should change soon. The upside (massive) is free listing and sending and their commission is 15% if you list yourself and 25% if they handle everything and you just send them the items and they handle descriptions, pictures, measurements and store the items. So basically the commission for their complete service is considerably lower than what Rebelle and Vestiaire charge if you list yourself. The downside if your item should not pass the quality test, you have to pay for them sending it back, if you send a fake, they will ban you and report you. As somebody who does hate fakes, I like that approach. After seeing so many posts and speaking with a ton of people who had really massive problems...

One thing I noticed lately is that Rebelle, apart from the totally horrendous price gauging, have sneakily increased their fees, if you used to sell something for 80, you used to get 50 as revenue, now you are getting 46. Additionally they are trying to sell you insured postage, despite claiming that the postage is covered by them. Vestiaire at least covers the insurance as well, from the moment an item is scanned, it will be insured, now Rebelle increases their percentage, pays out even later, has software bugs... I think they are definitely going downhill. Rebelle has also started to outsource the preparation of pictures, as a result, if the outsourced company is not in the mood, they get rejected. Now nobody will just sell on Rebelle, so if you are listing on several pages, you notice the difference. Not only has their service totally gone down the drain, they are also trying to sit on your money as long as possible, usually the pay out was the week after it was sent out, now ...

Wow, just checked my messages, apparently 5 people who weren't happy with HEWI and posted on Trustpilot had the reviews flagged as false, some apparently even had a response from HEWI and HEWI promised to make it right (so obviously real customers) I just checked it and now there is a flurry of posts claiming how great they are, usually from people with just 1 post... Obviously not shady at all and they are just fabulous... And that cough you hear, must be me having a cold... I guess HEWI must be paying them handsomely, I guess a website being paid by the supplier claiming to be independent and give real reviews is errrrr trustworthy... I used to sell on HEWI ages ago, until I found the real players, haven't listed anything there in ages because I simply can't deal with the staff, the site says approval happens within minutes, yeah, like their pay out happens after X amount of day. Totally fed up with messages saying "due to the age and condition of your item"...

Seriously, totally odd, I won't say crooked but the thought is hard to push away... Companies I rated highly and replied to their email to review them, the review was flagged and disappeared, after notifying the companies, apparently they had not upgraded the service... Companies who deliver horrendous services, well, if you rate them low, the reviews disappear the "automatic software" identified it... Personally, I am not relying on Trustpilot anymore, totally worthless

Seems Rebelle has totally gone the way of price gouging now too, several of you have sent screen shots, the "argument" they use is "This recommendation is based on our experience selling similar items, on the popularity of the brand and on the items condition." Oddly enough if you then look it up on their website, you see other items, often much older and of inferior materials, listed for a much higher price, since they are getting a percentage, I can only assume that they want a quick turn over and are prepared to cater to the masses and sacrifice the sellers.  Or they might simply just have another student doing the job. It's actually something that seems to be happening frequently and judging from the comments I got, rather shamelessly with prince dumping that is beyond the pale. So if you are a seller, list in as many places as possible. If you are a buyer, check the item description, Google is your friends, you might find a way to contact the seller, i...

If you're like me, you possibly end up with far too many designer items in your wardrobe and obviously the odd buy that just doesn't suit you, there are a couple of websites online where you can resell your designer items. I had a massive clear out and have tried most of them, mind you this is just Europe based so for people in the US it might be completely different. Obviously the 1st one everybody thinks about is Vestaire Collective Personally I found them frustrating to deal with, you do the resale calculator and you get a shockingly low price, often less than 1/10th of what you bought it for, but you grit your teeth and you list it, then Vestaire decides to give you even less with the tried and tested "Too many similar items on the website" - if you check the items, actually not that many and all listed for a much higher price, so their logic is kinda flawed. The seriously try to gauge you for every Penny and you tend to get offers that are a joke. So you ne...
