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
I agree and it's always good to keep a watchful eye!
I often will check several sites when I'm shopping for something specific and when I see it listed in multiple places, buy from the site with the best price.
I've seen several cross-over sellers, that sell on 2,3 or even more sites.. It helps if they use a similar name but not all of them do.
As long as all the goods are listed under one name one each site, I feel safe but if it's one seller on Tradesy and several names on Ebay, that would raise a flag for me.
Hallelujah!
That used to constantly discourage me!

A friend of mine list her items both on tradesy and eBay. As soon as that item is sold she takes it down from other site. Personally I couldn't do that I would be afraid that I forget and leave it on the other site.I agree and it's always good to keep a watchful eye!

Yeah, I'm the same as you.
It would be just my luck it would take forever to sell then sell twice, before I could take it down from the second site and I would be in big trouble..
Bagriculture is definitely on both ebay and tradesy. To have that many items though on two sites, oh my gosh! Unless Tradesy is watching for what they sell on ebay and changing their inventory on TradesyYeah, I'm the same as you.

Bonanza has this thing to keep items synced between Bonanza and ebay, so maybe Tradesy has the same thing. With that many items, it would take too long to put them on both sites, so Tradesy probably has an automated system for them.
It makes me sad that the large sellers are coming to Tradesy. That ruins it for the small sellers.
I find that my prices are not competitive at all compared to large sellers or resellers. I have too much attachment to my goods. On one hand I need the money, on the other hand I just want to stare at my bags all day. Lol
Despite some of the sales on tradesy it's been very slow..
Agreed! I haven't even had anyone ask questions in like two weeks either!
Me too. If I can't get a decent price, I'd rather not sell it. Big sellers don't have any emotional attachment to their bags since they bought them for resale and probably got them at bargain prices.
Yes! I don't think anyone is looking.
I've been asked if I would take $100 less for my item....I told them no, but thanks for looking
If you get an offer on an item do you assume that the offer is including shipping?
It's never been really clear to me in the offers I've received. Is it awkward if I respond back asking for clarification?

If an item is listed with free shipping, the b.o. is inclusive of shipping. If the item has a shipping charge, the b.o. is for the item only and the shipping would be added. (I'm assuming you're talking about ebay.)
When buyers are looking at your item they see one price. They don't see what the shipping cost is or the price Tradesy is charging for a label. I always assume when a buyer makes a BO that that is their best with the shipping cost included.
