INSTYLESHOES = FRAUD or just EXTREMELY SLEAZY??!!

WhoA I didn't know that ISS.com(not the forum) was doing shiesty moves like that.. hope you get ya paper dawg!!
 
Shady, shady stuff going on there. As said before, being loaded up with lots of sold consignment shoes is no excuse for it taking this long. And as already said, it is a very simple idea/concept/process. Shoe is sold, percentages are divided up, and a check goes out. Easy.

Never did really like ISS, as it seems they're all about the money. Big ups to people making money in the "shoe game"(for lack of a better term), but those dudes are GREEDY. One look at their prices on some of their stock, and that is obvious.

You will get your money back, and soon, I'm sure. Once they get word of this post, your check will be in the mail quick.

. sorry to hear that they havent paid you your money yet but maybe as they have said theyre swamped.
 
I may get flamed for asking this, i don't know, but who cares. Why do people decide to do this consignment stuff? Is it because they want their stuff sold for more by reputable sellers? or what?..

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. -Michael Jordan
 
ISS is currently holding 17 pairs of mine.

ISS has sold almost 20 shoes for me in the past.

The wait does get annoying, but since I know they are 100% legit, I don't mind too much.

I know I will get my money (much more than what I can get off ebay), and I don't have to deal with morons giving me less than I want price-wise.

It really is hassle-free, I am trying to sell the other shoes that I have that ISS didn't currently accept (since they have the size that I own already on their site), and it is hard as hell to sell them.

ISS really cuts out the crap, but you will have to be patient.

Of course I was desperate for urgent help, so I decided to email Niketalk Staffs, who promptly replied and kindly gave me advice on the situation,

Don't post if you aren't going to read...

But yah, hope it all works out.
 
I would be furious. Thats unacceptable, sue or at least inquire with a lawyer. You've laid every thing out here pretty clearly, I mean Im no lawyer but it sounds like youve got a decent case to me.
 
WOW !

This is the last thing I would expect from some a legit source. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

jesus whats with all the non-readers? it wasn't even that long

sorry about your situation. thats really uncalled for on their part. Not that I was really planning to, but now I know for sure I'll never do business with those clowns. They always claim to be doing it for "the love" but time and again they show their true intent
 
Well what can be said, they are breaking their own contract, and thus making themselves look bad, I once was going to myself send them some sneakers to sell on their, but got skeptical, and rather sold them on NT for a couple bucks cheaper, and got my $$ the next day.....

well in a personal e-mail to Steve last week

***** ***** ****** **** * ** * *** ** ******* ******* ***** ****** ** ***** ****** ****** ****** *** we are working hard on the latest issue and I can't focus on anything else until it is done. ** ***** ** **** * * ** **** *


Rather than e-mailing the staff themself, why dont you try to get into contact with Steve himself, and I believe things would go more smoothly for you...
 
I'd be curious if other people consigning with ISS are experiencing the same or if it's an abberation of usual practice. From what it seems, they handle their business rather professionally and have built there name on a long list of satisifed customers, both buyers and sellers.

It is unfortunate though and I'm sure everything will be sorted out. They're too high-profile to try to swindle some loot. Wow- scandals everywhere in sneakerland. Consignment is a risk, the minute you ship your item, you have no control what happens to it, and everything is contingent on the host. You might get more loot, but also more headache, and it absolutely takes more time.
 
Sounds mad shady. Amazing how "companies" do things like this while they are holding YOUR money.....yet if you tried pulling something like that with THEIR money they would never leave you alone till they got it.

Give this man his loot for the chrisakes, youve had damn near 4 months. And to the guy who posted this, while u email this dude ask him if it would be okay to buy a pair of shoes from his site and then not pay for 4 months (or more).
I Heard That
 
That sucks man, I know you can file something with the bad business bureau about this issue. Another thing you could do is start a petition on niketalk.com sayin that no nike talkers will ever buy shoes from their website again if they dont get their act together. Because lets face it, everyone who is willing to drop some serious cash on Jordans is a member of this community. So if we boycott that website and take it off the Authentic Jordan website list, that will put a hole in their pocket. Just a suggestion though. Good luck, I hate frauded websites >:

damn bro...

i remember last year...i was gonna sell my blk/red 11's to them cause they offered me a lot more than i could get on nt/ebay...i sold mine for 230 or 240 and yes altho i was getting a lot less than ISS, i thought hell y not get my money now then wait month or two...i'm glad i did...

but in any terms this situation is inexcusable. i also agree. post this on their site and it might work better. and yes i also think they might be holding ur money as a "loan" i wanna noe how this turns out as wlel.

that does not help in the slightest bit


seriously. either red in full or just move on to another topic.

what this dude is going through is beyond grimy imo and I'd be EXTREMELY mad if I was supposed to get like $3000 from shoes being sold on my behalf like 3-4 months ago. like others have said, post this on ISS and also, hit up 160 for that guys cell phone number. By any (legal) means necessary, make sure this situation is taken care of and you get your money!

Calm down man. Thats the second largest sneaker community on the net. They have alot of respect for all the competitions they have around the world. I doubt they are frauding anyone. They do however need to get their priorities str8 on that consignment program. People should be able to get their loot within at least 3 days of a sale.

Wow that 's a lot of loot to be waiting on, just try to talk with Steve. He has to know about this issue since he still reads Niketalk and his own boards.
Good luck...
 
Yea i was gonna buy a soolecollector mag from them so i pick the shipping which was $5 then it shows me total then when i pick opition i want to pay with (paypal) it has the total and then it charged me again for shipping. I contacted them and they gave some weak excuse then i sent back more clearly response and never heard from them again i guess that how they make more money by trying to add shipping twice any one else ever have that problem when trying to pay through paypal. They knew what problem was but they didnt want to change it. :stoneface:

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 08:48 AM Post subject: Instyleshoes.com Consignment Issues - Program on Hold

Instyleshoes.com Consignment Issues

Right now we are experiencing long delays with our consignment program. We have had a sharp increase in consignment shoes and dont have the processes in place to handle everything as smoothly as we would like. On top of that we have had one of our employees take her first long vacation in five years and the second employee is getting ready for maternity leave very, very soon. Instyleshoes.com only has two full time employees and as you can see with the continued high demand for Instyleshoes.coms products and services it has put a lot of pressure on our resources. To correct this problem we are not going to accept any additional consignment shoes for 4 6 weeks and I will personally work on the processes myself to take streamline the entire consignment system plus this is perfect timing because of the maternity leave coming up. Instyleshoes.com has been around for 6 years and fraud has never been an issue and never will be. We have had 50,000+ of transactions and stand behind our company 100%.


As for the companies. Instyleshoes.com is a totally separate company from Sole Collector and has different sources of funding as well as different employees. Instyleshoes.com does provide a fulfillment service for Sole Collector but Instyleshoes.com is also a fulfillment service for many other companies as well. Although I am the head guy for both companies I have spent 100% of my time growing Sole Collector over the past two years and have not had a great amount of time to work with Instyleshoes.com and their growth. In two weeks I am able to focus my time on Instyleshoes.com and make sure everything is rock solid before we start the consignment area as well as the other new areas of Instyleshoes.com up again. All shoes that are presently in the consignment program are still active so no worries about them not being available to sell. Instyleshoes.com just isnt going to accept new consignment shoes until everything is streamline.

I apologize for any inconveniences this has caused and I want everyone to know we are working as hard as we can to ensure all of our customers from buyers to sellers are taken care of. Instyleshoes.com is a small business and sometimes growing pains really make things difficult. Please contact me with any questions or comments.

Best Regards,
Steve

Well at least they are doing that. Sort of late though considering they have had problems for awhile.
 
False advertisement, breach of contract, and fraud. Take those thiefs to court. I could never fathom how rich people can be so lazy to keep that awful website in business. Unbelievable prices on top of consistent complaints of shady and slow service, and now this...I hope they suffer the consequences for their actions and I hope you get your money back, and more.
