Question about fakes on Tradesy (and sorry if this has been asked before): is it hard to deal with them? I know very little about this site and never bought anything there, but I spotted an obviously fake wristlet a few days ago and reported it, and... nothing happened. So I'm just wondering how Tradesy responds to these reports in general. I don't think that seller specializes in fakes, as she only has 6 Coach items listed and only one seems to be fake. Anyway, here's the link, maybe if more people report it, it will be removed:


Signature brown wristlet https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-wristlet-brown-11756425/?tref=category


seller: chic99


Upd: I don't know why this is happening, but the link I'm trying to post isn't working, and I tried to fix it twice. Maybe you could find it by searching Tradesy: Coach in signature brown wristlet, $36, or by the seller's name Chic99.

For some reason, Tradesy links don't work on TPF.

Here's a picture of Chic99's fake:

Thanks, BeenBurned, it's gone now. And yes, I tried several times, and none of Tradesy's links work, including hyperlinked seller's name - looks it's made by them this way on purpose...

If Tradesy really wanted to keep its site honest, they wouldn't make it difficult to post listings.

In fact, in order to find the listing, post the pictures and report it, I had to google the seller's name.

It shouldn't have to be so complicated.

I totally agree. What I figured out while trying to make it (i.e., Tradesy seller's name search system) work is this: in search window, type @ following by the seller's name without spaces, like @chic99 - you'll get a drop down list of suggestions, actually, one, I got Chic99 @chic99. Click it, and - voilà! you're inside the seller's closet. But I'm not sure if it was meant to work like that by Tradesy, it was sheer luck and I must have tried a dozen different combinations of "Coach", "wristlet" and "Chic99". But Google - probably it was the only thing I didn't think of, although I practically live by motto "Just google it!" :-D Anyway, next time when someone will need to find a Tradesy seller, I hope that would save them some time.

Since in this case we were looking for the seller's item, your method works but Tradesy's searchability is awful.

Most buyers go to a site looking for a specific type of item. They don't want to see other items, they don't want to see items that were already sold and no longer available and they don't know specific seller IDs to search!

Although nothing should surprise me, sellers like this DO shock me!

The seller came to the ebay discussion boards (January 24) claiming to be an honest seller and wanting to sell and item she knows is fake but plans to not make any claims as to brand or authenticity.

She posted pictures of her fake Coach bag and was told it was fake and not to be listed.

No response from OP but it was discovered that the seller listed the bag anyway. It's listed as "unbranded" and her description has the following:
"I MAKE NO CLAIMS TO BRANDING OR MANUFACTURER ON ITS LABELING."
