Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I just got a message asking me to follow another member and they would follow me. I checked and they have over 500 followers. I'm not into fake followers, I want real ones! And I won't give props to sellers I know nothing about...

Maybe I'm old but I never got into the whole social media frenzy of clicks and likes and followers and "friends" that are just for the numbers - just be honest and be real.

ETA I guess I have "liked" a few items on Tradesy but it's because I really do! :p
I'm following one person and one person is following me. I think it is the same person. She's a tpfer.
 
Is this bad that I don't do anything on Tradesy but wait until my item gets sold? I joined 2 months ago and no sales. My items prob got lost in all the listings.

I'm more active on posh bc I have to continuously share my items.


I've only sold 2 items on Tradesy in the 6 months since I've joined. At first I "loved" my own items because I thought maybe that would help visibility and increase sales but at this point I don't think it helped. Granted I mostly sell clothes which is different than a one size fits all item.
 
Sales can be slower on Tradesy. I usually sell cheaper stuff on eBay so they sell quickly and the more expensive items on tradesy.
I see a lot of sellers share their closets on tradesys Facebook. I haven't done it myself, but you could try it to help get your items noticed.
 
Did anyone get an offer from Tradesy to join a BETA for their new website features and android launch? They are offering $75 dollars in site credit if you participate, but it might be invite only.
 
I'm intrigued by "new website features".

I wonder if the site being down has anything to do with their new updates? The email said they would be adding new features like a new homepage and a better checkout experience. They are also finally going to release an Android app. I'm an Android user and I wonder if they knew this from logging in from my phone in the web browser.
 
Tradesy definitely had some issues with their site this morning. If you made a purchase make sure to check on it. I'd made a purchase this morning which didn't show up in My Purchases but my CC was charged and item was listed as sold. So just beware.

I wondered if that was just a case of a seller listing on more than one site..

It would help to know if the crossovers are all listed by the same Ebay seller.. :smile1:

From other eBay sellers?

I was looking for a vintage chanel boston bag and I saw a couple listed on Tradesy for 2000-3000. Then I looked through ebay and I saw similar bags listed for less than 2000.

In this case, I did compare the listings between the seller watch my stuff and elady, and the prices aren't vastly different, they must be the same seller then!

Tradesy has about the same commission on ebay so it raised a red flag.

I'm not accusing the seller of this practice but if you are looking to buy from a seller that has many many listings, just make sure that you're getting it for the best price possible :smile1:
