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.)

Thanks BeenBurned! On Ebay that makes total sense. I don't normally offer free shipping on my listings...it doesn't seem to help me sell more.

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.

Thanks ToriChan! That's kind of what I was thinking since that's how Tradesy's format is set up.

I've noticed that too. Not very much activity at all. I had a few sales in early October but since then, nothing for the past couple of weeks. I thought things would be picking up (not slowing down) due to the holidays being just around the corner...:shrugs:

:giggles:It's weird , my items are priced reasonably good. My paranoid self wonders if there is a glitch on my site.

I have 10 items listed but since this weekend, can only find a few of them via search and by browsing. I've removed them and restored, but it's been a few days and they still can't be found, even though they're visible in my closet. Anyone else having this problem?

I had a buyer a few weeks ago want to cancel the purchase after I had already packaged and printed a shipping label, I ask why she wanted to cancel and that this was an inconvenience as I had the item ready to ship but I would cancel anyway. She never replied or apologized. I get a message today that she wants to purchase the item again but for less. GTFOH! SMDH:nono:

Only if you could block the buyer on tradesy, this one would get it

What a pain! Buyers should never cancel on Tradesy. They can just return if they change their mind. It should be more expensive for her now, not cheaper.

WOW? Really? I had a buyer do the same a week or so again. On top of that though, she purchased a second item the next day and asked me to cancel that too that it was an accident; left in her cart in error. I could have let the sale go through (second time in 2 days she did it to me). I really was mad, it isn't fair to anyone especially if a sale was going on and I loose out on selling the item. Then a week later wanted to buy the first bag she requested to cancel and asked for 100 off the price!!

I noticed that a few weeks ago I could remove then restore and the items would bump up to the beginning. Now it doesn't work so my items end up way down unless you re-do the entire listing. That may be why you are having trouble finding your items.

So I would just remove my items and put it back in my closet as new item?

You have to actually create a brand new listing. I know the one sale about a month ago I was able to simple remove and then a minute later make it live again and each listing went to the top. Now I have to literally remove the listing and create a brand new listing. I cut and paste all the text but then have to upload all the photos again. I generally wait until I see a sale for the brand I have then re do each listing. I find during the sale if you can re create/relist all your items they sell so much quicker. It is a pain but what stinks is say you have a speedy and I simply searched on speedy all other bags come up because the seller can put speedy in their "tagged" section even if they are selling ex. a delightful. It is really tough for buyer to just find the exact item they want.

Thanks , I will try that. Yes I noticed that too about the extra tags.

I had a buyer haggling over my $270 purse for an hour or two. I finally agreed to give her a $35 discount. I adjusted the price and then she wrote back the next morning saying that she wouldn't buy it because she couldn't use the Tradsey coupon code which was only good for first purchase. She wanted me to continue to give her that discount we have agreed on AND honor that Tradesy coupon!
