    I learned the hard way that Depop does not like people listing designer luxury items. I had an authentic Gucci purse and Prada wallet taken down by Depop stating they were not authentic. The only proof they will accept is an original receipt. Depop was my best selling platform but I got banned for the same reason. So everyone, do not post luxury designer brands.

      I had a pair of Christian Dior earrings removed but I was not banned. Funny thing is I had them listed for awhile and delisted and relisted to only have them be removed immediately. It was so fast, it was definitely AI doing the work. Of course, I removed another pair I had listed as well. I agree, don't list any designer luxury brands unless you want to run into this type of trouble with Depop. I'm tempted to remove all the other high dollar items just for GP.

    I am so sorry that happened to you! Stinks when you did everything right in the first place 😔 I was thinking you could make a new account too lol...I was upset with them after I sold a pair of Frye boots & the buyer must've not realized that they were not a standard size & immediately went to them as item not as described stating it didn't show a size & there was a very clear picture in the listing as well as the sizing with the extra B in the title & description & I reached out to them & said they sided with her. Thank God I got them back & sold them quickly elsewhere, but I did everything right too & it was very frustrating! Good luck & Go Bills!

    I'm shocked. Not a high-end designer, but I bought a vintage RL bag. As soon as I got it, I knew it was fake. I sent in multiple pics, etc. There were no consequences for the seller. They're still active & selling very obvious fakes. Shortly after that, I sadly decided to stop selling on depop. I'm only on ebay, posh & mercari now. I'd like to add a 4th site again. Sorry this happened to you guys! The boots are GORGEOUS!

      @frizzysfinds With Posh going back to its original fee structure, maybe that'll generate extra sales to make up for the loss of depop. 🤞🏻 In the long run, depop is hurting themselves. By the comments & other things I've heard - banning seems like common practice. Less sellers = less money & traffic for depop.

I appeal it and they apologize and relist the brush. They've done this at least 10 times to me. I'm at the point when I appeal I'm so sarcastic in my appeal, I literally say, just like the prior 9 brushes this is just a plain good old fashion brush, no cords, no batteries, nothing. I sell so little on Depop and the whole non-binding offers thing baffles me. So I'm at the point of whatever Depop, whatever....
