I bought a 600+ dollar shoe and it's fake. I suppose to wear it to vocation soon. Its all ruin by the fake shoe. I need to go to ups and give back the shoe. The refund is slow. Never know "real" real sales fake things to customer. Its shame if they didn't know it's fake…you're company is doing this for money. Work on it.

Exactly as pictured/described!

I wish the photos were more up-close to see the extent of some of the wear and tear but overall it was an awesome experience. So many options, shipping was early. I love the option to purchase the return in case something was wrong.

Very unhappy with my purchase which I never got! Whatever the postal service you use is horrible. They were supposed to deliver and get a signature from me. So now I don’t have my order and don’t have my money back!

I had an awful experience with this site. Sold authentic Chanel bag and only got $5. The whole process was disappointing, and I feel completely cheated. Customer service is terrible, and they don’t give you proper details about products. I received broken items, wrong products, and even fake goods. The return policies are awful, and they take too much commission. I’ll never trust this site again. Would not recommend to anyone!

Not happy at all with this platform

Not happy at all with this platform, the pricing and commission is terrible, you can make more money selling on what would be considered lower end platforms, I won’t be buying or selling with them again.

The size said 4...and it was 40

The size said 4...and it was 40, which in European standards is 0. I needed it for a function and obviously, could not fit into it, as I am a size 4, and have bought many other Chiara Boni dresses in 44 (US 4).
This was miss marked and now I need to send it back. Very frustrating.
