Consignor beware

Consignor beware.
The contract you sign provides:
You will continue to own and have title to each item of Property until that item is “Sold”. An
item will be considered Sold when:
(a) it is sold by The RealReal to a customer and not returned to The RealReal within the
period specified in The RealReal's then-current Return Policy [there is a reference to real reals' return policy link page- active link not permitted on trust pilot]
; or
(b) it is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed while in The RealReal's possession.

see the ReaReal return policy page- active link not permitted on trust pilot] it provides:

ITEMS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN
Items received after 21 days of in-store purchase or shipment date, or with the security tag missing or removed, are not eligible for return.

However, the REALREAL will not declare the item sold until the 34th day after shipping and pay you the next month.

In my opinion, this is a clear violation of the terms of service and contract. However, they have your item and your money, and all you have is the right to arbitration if you cannot resolve the issue within 60 days.

My opinion: Do not consign HIGH-VALUE ITEMS that the buyer can return.

My experience with The RealReal has…

My experience with The RealReal has been phenomenal! I absolutely love my items, they are practically new and even better than I expected. Shipping was quick, and I’m so grateful to have an affordable option to own these very special pieces that I normally wouldn’t splurge on, especially with how much prices have soared today.

Shopping here also gives me the chance to enjoy more of the designer items I love without breaking the bank on buying everything brand new from the fashion houses. I’m very pleased and thankful for the access to items I will truly cherish, all while reducing waste by giving new life to something another person was ready to part with. It feels amazing to repurpose and enjoy these treasures in their new home with me. Thank you!

I’m disappointed with my purchase after…

I’m disappointed with my purchase after seeing the Nordstrom Rack price tag that was left on my boots that had a price for much less than what I purchased the boots for. Absolutely a scam. I was charged double the price that was on the tag left on the boots from another store. This has left a negative feeling about the real real. I’m taking a break to ice my wallet, ego, and feelings.
