Just thought I would correct myself here, my bag did indeed sell for over 600 but under with all the tradesy fees and shipping I forgot about! I think I will email them asking if they could give me some kind of guide line for the shipping kits.

I just got a Tradesy order today. I was so happy that the seller put the box inside another box and it arrived in perfect condition. I bought a bag on ebay yesterday and asked the seller to please put it in a box but I don't know if they will. It was free shipping so they probably think I'm being picky.Oh wow..
I just bought a pair of Louboutin shoes (my first) and I hope the seller doesn't ship them in a plastic bag! They're NIB but I hope she uses another box to ship- I really don't want my shoe box crushed. :wondering
I sell shoes less than a tenth of what I paid for the LB's and I ship those cheap suckers in a shipping box. LOL
My first purchase there was a Balenciaga city- the seller shipped it in a very nice box. Probably didn't hurt she owns a brick & mortar store.
Anyway I hope most sellers are wise enough to know when to use a bag & when to pay a little extra and ship in a box.
I asked once. Not only does it have to be over a certain amount, which they never told me, it has to be one of certain premium brands.
Thanks! I guess I would have gotten my kit in about two days too, since that how long it took the buyer to get it!
I just was able to get someone helpful in chat who looked at it and said she was emailing a shipping label. Now, I haven't actually received it, it's only been about 5 minutes, but at least she looked at it!
I'm really lucky that my buyer has been so nice!
Just thought I'd post the situation here-never hurts to let everyone know about the weird stuff in case it happens to them.
Oh good!
It sounds like you got a good seller! I'm happy for you..
You are not being picky! And I hope they wrap that bag in tissue, bubble wrap or a dust bag, something.
Even when I sell $34.00 low end bags, I wrap in tissue and send them in a box. Just too much can go wrong if you try to ship them in a plastic bag. Most bags will fit well in a med flat rate box, that's usually what I use.
I hope your bag arrives just as perfect as your Tradesy item!
I'm hoping for one of those Tradesy Black Box kits now..
I'll still be happy as long as it's in box- any box. 
Do share about your bag once it arrives.. I love to hear when others are happy with their purchases. After all the scams, fakes & bad news, it's nice to have some good happy news!
I think we need a thread for that.. Positive shopping experiences on Ebay, Tradsey Etc... It would be nice to share some good stories.
That's wonderful!Oh good!

Have you heard of the site Lollipuff.com? I found this article from two years ago when I was browsing around.

It's similar to Tradesy but only deals with high end brands. Sellers have to submit pictures taken with a note that has user ID and the website written on it. Seems to provide better protection to buyers (i.e. no stolen pictures from the internet).

I have a question. I recently sold something on tradesy that required a signature. USPS left a notice and its been at the post office for 4 days now.. What happens if the buyer doesn't pick it up? I messaged her a couple days ago letting her know its there, but no response.
I know that when Tradesy has a sale, you still get paid your original price for the item but I didn't realize that Tradesy actually loses money in the process. Case in point: I'm selling a wallet for $100. It's part of Tradesy's current accessories sale so it's priced at $90. The wallet sold today and I'm getting $91. So Tradesy loses $1 on that sale. Am I thinking about this correctly?
I was thinking the same thing, but tradesy must make their money on the other merchandise.
