- Buyout Items
- Price Quotes. You may submit to Fashionphile descriptions and pictures of items for direct sale on our website (“Buyout Items”). After receiving your submission, Fashionphile will review your submission. If Fashionphile determines in its sole discretion that your Buyout Item is acceptable for sale, Fashionphile will email you a price quote for your Buyout Item (“Buyout Offer”). Otherwise, Fashionphile will notify you that your Buyout Item is not acceptable for sale. If you accept the Buyout Offer, you must deliver your Buyout Item to Fashionphile for assessment and possible sale.
- Quotes are valid for thirty (30) days, at which time they expire. Once a quote has expired, you may resubmit a quote request for a new quote. We request that you do not submit the same item more than one time in a 30 day period, regardless of which account you use.
- Assessment. Upon receipt of your Buyout Item, Fashionphile will review your Buyout Item to confirm that it is authentic pursuant to Section I.1 and that its condition is consistent with the description you provided in your original submission.
- Authentic Items in the Represented Condition. If Fashionphile determines that your Buyout Item is authentic and in the condition described in your original submission, Fashionphile will issue payment to you for the Buyout Offer.
- Authentic Items in Different Condition. If Fashionphile determines that your Buyout Item is authentic but not in the condition described in your original submission, Fashionphile will deliver to you an updated Buyout Offer. Accessories (straps, locks and keys, pouchettes, etc.) that were expected but not shipped by the seller may also result in Fashionphile delivering an updated Buyout Offer. If you accept Fashionphile’s updated Buyout Offer, then Fashionphile will issue payment to you for the updated Buyout Offer. If you reject Fashionphile’s updated Buyout Offer, then Fashionphile will return the Buyout Item to you.
