Why You Might Have Trouble Deleting Your RealReal Account

The trouble with brands that do not offer automated account deletion is that the admins may not respond promptly or choose to delete your account. Working with customer service, you may need to wait while your case is escalated to a manager or your account is verified to belong to you.

Be careful. If you no longer have access to the email address you made the account with, they may not be inclined to delete your account communicating through another email. You may also need to provide information regarding your last transactions (purchases and sales) and even the financial data attached to the account to prove your ownership.
