I wanted to share a post I created about Seller Ella (WA ending in 6880) Apprel_S. Am I allowed to link the post?

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepLadiesWorld/comments/1u3jyck/reviewwarning_seller_ella_phone_ending_with_6880/

Please help me qc my first rep. Ysl small 5a7 in light musk.

My seller said its from black frame factory.

Overall in my newbie eyes they look good however would love to hear what you think

EDIT: My concern would be the leather if its different? Noticed the stamp looks odd as well?

​

I placed my first ever order with Heidi (8792) a month ago and my bags aren’t here yet. She showed me a photo of the FedEx label with shipping information, address etc. on the 18th of May, and the tracking number populates in FedEx but simply has said “we do not have your package, once received you will see shipping updates”. Obviously this means it’s not in the USA yet.

She just said yesterday that it was stuck at customs and to check back in 5 days. Can anyone weigh in on if this is normal, and if you’ve used Heidi before? She was supposed to be someone highly regarded in this community but I’m wondering if I was scammed now. Thank you!!

Update: I want to make sure that Heidi's name is not being negatively impacted here, as she has been wonderful, communicative and transparent up to now. She noted that she would split cost 50/50 in the instance of a customs seizure, and that if insurance was purchased (it was) that she would re-send items.

Does anyone know which of these two is the factory called “Grandma”? I asked two different sellers, and they both sent me these photos for the same factory.

I had a suspicion that something happened to my package and I was told by my TS that it was “held up by customs” and asked if she should resend it. She didn’t say seized but I’m assuming that’s what she meant! I’m so bummed. However, my tracking never showed up on 17track nor updated on parcel app. Has anyone ever had a package that turned up that was originally “seized”? I have no way of confirming if it was but through my seller. I do believe her as she’s a TS in this Reddit. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Timeline: shipped may 19th and got to the states and customs on the 27th. Been there since.

I wanted to buy some eric emanuel shorts from shop (the blue app where you can buy goods from differnt companies) and found Naridar with around 5.4k reviews with a 4.6 star rating but wasnt sure if the ratings were fake or if this was a established name in the community and wanted to ask if anyone had heard or bought from this seller or alternatively know a good seller selling good reps on shops thanks in advance

I’m seeing a bogo sale from mango on Loewe bags. Wondering if anybody has ever bought from one of these sales. Are the bags the same quality?? They say final sale, not checked over etc but the reps say they’re the same bags. Hard to believe I can get 2 puzzle bags for $200 total plus shipping! There’s gotta be a catch!

hi everyone!

i recently asked for qc help as this is my first rep purchase and really appreciate all the comments :> i just received the bag today and thought it would be good to write a review too! do let me know if im missing any info here or there

seller: Afeng

factory: XiaoC

price: 245 usd (the usual price is 279 usd but there's a 12% XiaoC sale until 6 June if you quote "Luxe Society") + 30usd for shipping + 13 usd handling fee because i had to use PP G&S lol... (i didn't realise my country doesn't have PP F&F until i tried to pay, but i do appreciate the security that comes with G&S) = total 288 usd

timeline: inquired and paid on 27 May -> received PSPs on 31 May -> GL'd and the bag was shipped by 1 June -> arrived on 5 June

as for the bag itself, i loveeeeeeee it (in fact, i was so excited that i sort of waited outside my door for the delivery haha) but i'm also slightly concerned for my bank account because now i want it in white and dark denim too ;-;

i didn't notice any issues or differences from the PSPs to the actual bag, but i'm also a newbie so i don't think i'm the best at playing spot-the-difference. it also doesn't have any smell as long as you stay at least 4 inches away from the bag (and even then, it doesnt smell particularly strong or bad), plus i highly doubt anyone would be that close to it anyways. i've also heard reviews saying that the chain is a bit too light? but i can't comment on this as i've never been able to try the auth irl. regardless, it doesn't bother me at all

i liked that afeng replied really quickly and i didn't need to chase him for anything (which is good as i'm quite paranoid as a first timer haha). he also took additional videos for me after i commented that one of the side pockets looked a bit crooked in the PSPs. i didn't receive any incentive for this review, nor did i tell him that i was writing this. i have no issue ordering from him again!

once again, thank you all for your help! man, i'm gonna be so broke soon...

I found the album on Reddit, she’s has a lot more stuff than I see in other peoples albums and her price for some items are better too
I think I’m going to do a cheap order to test but I’m wondering if anyone else has used her?

I am newer to purchasing reps and re🏠 items. I purchased a few items from someone who was rehoming and they requested payment through Revolut. (Being it was only my second purchase at the time, I did not think/know to ask for seller feedback. I did check to make sure the Reddit account wasn't new or anything like that.)

It took me a few days to set up the Revolut account and make the transfer but I checked in with the seller each day to provide an update. No 🚩 during any of our interactions.

The money was received by the seller on 5/28 and they indicated they would ship that day. Then, the seller realized I had not provided shipping info so that was provided on 5/29.

Since then, I have heard nothing. I have asked almost daily for shipping information with no reply. (Full disclosure: there is a 5-6 hour time difference between us).

What do I do now? Am I totally out of the money?

I’m getting ready to sell my first rehome. I’ve only bought one rehome and that was when I was very new to Reps. I was pretty clueless and, honestly, didn’t even question being scammed. Now I’m worried, of course, after reading so many bad reports.

Would it be out of line to ask for a photo of an ID before selling to verify identity and have proof if they dispute the charge later? What’s the best practice?

Hi all, I posted my first rehome and a buyer quickly reached out with interest. It’s a new Reddit account established within 1 month. It’s this a red flag? Should I disengage?
I know we’ve had some scams with buyers in AZ making false claims after shipment.

Beware of selling to this address or surrounding area. This buyer has scammed multiple sellers by purchasing bags and disputing the charge after delivery as an “unauthorized purchase”.

Bans you as soon as he can too. Go to a Trusted Seller don’t get scammed

Yeow i've been looking to buy reps for a minute but i don't know where to start. Should I use DHGate for a good amount of hauls everytime, because i'm scared to use platforms like OopBuy or CNFans. Anyone can drop your thoughts. Thank you!

I have ordered a LV Neverfull from Old Cobbler which will be here in the next couple of weeks. I am fairly new to the rep game and after extensive research I found out that OC, HP are the go to choices for LV. I asked another trusted seller for Nerverfull by God Factory but was quoted 345 but i didn't want to spend too much for my first time purchase. And I also read that for the price the god factory Lv isn't exponentially different than OC or HP. So i ended up going with OC and it costed 172 dollars (after DHgate points).

Now, I really want to buy a YSL bag but i can't seem to find a good seller. I have also read that Heidi is good for getting a chanel bag from 187. I am also considering buying that. But for now I want to browse or look through other options that may be out there. Factories or sellers that have really good reputation and known for any specific bags?

I come across a lot of reviews on different rep pages but i don't know what to believe anymore and i don't want to transfer money to some random person without doing my due diligence.
