I don't know the item so have no idea whether your bought a fake and tried to resell it or if it was indeed authentic and their "team" erred.

I don't know who their "authenticators" are but there's a history of Tradesy using a particular company who had a reputation for mis-authenticating items.

Therefore it's possible that the item is authentic and that the seller didn't really sell a fake.

I did a bit of research this past weekend and read three specific instances where an MK watch, LV bag and Chanel Jumbo were all mis-authenticated. I'm a worrier by nature so of course I was thinking the same could happen to me. However, they were very specific on their reasons why they ruled the bag I purchased a fake. It's my first Bal and I don't have anything to compare it to, but they ended the letter (after stating specific details) saying that the overall craftsmanship and quality led to their determination. Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore. This was my first time buying secondhand and it's been a not too pleasant experience.

Just because they gave specifics didn't mean they were right. Can you post the link or pm it to me? I am curious to see the actual bag in question.

I sold a LV handbag that was delivered to the buyers house yesterday. Noticed this morning the buyer turned around and sold it for $200.00 over my price. Does this happen often on tradesy? Should I report this?

Is it wrong to re-sell what we bought? I have never sell any age yet. Curious to know answer to this. Well perhaps buyer thought u sold below market price so he or she bought to make some income? [emoji23]

I see nothing wrong with this. It happened to me on eBay several times. You may have underpriced your item and she saw a chance to make a quick profit while taking a risk that she'd get the higher price. Maybe Tradesy had an LV sale and she could list higher but the buyer would actuall pay less. Its the way the market works. You need to do some research before you sell anything to determine the best price. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

What would you report? She did nothing wrong. She bought it she can do what she wants to do with it.

I agree with the others, there's nothing wrong with this. People are going to do this (buy and try to resell at a higher price) sometimes. Also, the person will have to pay shipping and the % to Tradesy, so maybe they are also trying to recoup money. If they bought it from you for $800, for example, they will lose money if they sell it for $800 on Tradesy. Maybe be glad they didn't come up with a reason to have it returned to you not as described.

Jaclynn~ I am reading these messages as I am the one that sold you the bag on Tradesy and I received a message that is not authentic~ which I assure you it is as it was purchased at Neiman Marcus In North Park Dallas from the 2012 Holiday Collection~ I am trying to get NM to research to get a copy of my receipt- However that point is mute as you too did an authenticity check through TPF as well and got a thumbs up then resold the bag and it was sent back from your buyer- Unfortunately the concern is - and giving you the benefit of the doubt that you shipped my bag and the buyer could have sent back a fake bag-~ as well after posting this nightmare in my purse groups I have been told by several authenticators that Tradesy is HORRIFIC at authentication and they are not familiar with current Designer products and base their authentication on older bags- which if you collect Balenciaga you know their bags have changes some- especially the Hamilton line. More importantly to me I received that same cryptic email that said 'craftsmanship' they have already taken the money from me and that bag was sold on August 16- the question lies 2 fold what is the chain of accountability/ownership- if this bag was sold 10 times and the 10th person cries fake is the original seller accountable? Secondly~ How many times does a bag have to be authenticated and how do we know the person sent my bag to Tradesy? Tradesy has been unresponsive thus far to me after a phone cal and 2 emails yesterday> I am calling again today! Do you have screen shots of your authentication as well?Thank you!

It's called flipping and I've had it happen to me several times. I wasn't happy about it but I got the price I asked for my item so what they do with it after is their business..

I have flipped a few items for a small profit myself. It's common on Ebay. Some sellers are full time flippers. Whether the seller resells right there on Ebay or buys & sells in a brick & mortar store, it happens.
The best way to research your prices is NOT suggested price(Ebay's suggested prices are always WAY off) or even listed price but use the selling prices. You can choose to view completed & sold listings on Ebay, Tradesy also shows sold listings. Try to find several recently sold items that are similar to yours.

^^ Absolutely.. I've bought items that didn't fit or the color wasn't what I wanted to I've resold them myself rather than return. You do have to mark it up to recover your money because of the fees etc...
Most sellers are happy you're selling it yourself rather than going through the return process.

I am the original owner of the bag that Jacklynn purchased on Tradesy~ I can not longer get to my posting on Tradesy as they have removed it~ I have asked them for my listing and photos and have an inquiry in with Neiman Marcus North Park Dallas to acquire a copy of the receipt. As those that know Balenciaga this is from the Hamilton line 2012 Holiday Collection- if you are not an experienced authenticator of Bal bags- as apparently the people at Tradesy - you have NO clue what you are doing. Here is lies my problem now as I am not sure why the third person who has had this bag has now returned it and we have no idea if it is the original bag- My bags all ship with security tags for this reason!
