If it still hasn't moved, I believe you can cancel the sale-

Actually, Tradesy got involved. They contacted the seller for me. The seller tried to track it, but the were unsuccessful. So tradesy contacted me again to ask if I want to cancel and get a refund. I said I'd like to cancel but I'd like an account credit since I really do have my heart set on this specific bag.

I hate haggling too. I don't know who has the 'make an offer' option but no one has used it on my items, though lately I've been getting more offers in messages, and now getting some lowball ones. At first I replied politely but now I feel like just ignoring.

I can see the separate shipping charges now, on my computer.

I would like the make an offer button if people would give sellers their best offer. Sadly, I don't think many buyers do that. I assume they use the messages to make an offer because it's not binding and trying to get the lowest price possible.

Yep----all in messaging. Some quote a price and the rest want to know the absolute lowest price I would accept. I was thinking about putting something in the item description about not accepting offers but who reads any more these days?

I had one buyer who kept barraging me with low ball offers. I even countered and she agreed, then once I changed the listing she disappeared. If we could block a buyer, I would have blocked her. Then a couple weeks later, she bought one of my items at the listed price and sent me a message after she got it, telling me how much she loved it. She also said she would be buying more of my items over time. That was several months ago and I haven't heard from her since.

Indeed they're implementing this new approach as we speak under Designer Shoe Sale. During the last sale it was extended to all sellers not just professional and paid for by Tradesy. This time though it's only power sellers, though I can tell right off that they're not gonna make a lot of sales as prices have been marked way high, some even higher than full retail. As well as that the breadth of selection isn't as great or diverse as before, problem is unless Tradesy goes all professional sellers the majority of listings continues to be excluded.

I called to ask why no one I know could see the offer button on my listings. They said they had turned it off temporarily due to a bug but they're slowly turning it back on for people this month. I actually had quite a bit of offers on my listings when it was on last month.

UPDATE: I got the new offer button on my home computer. Its inside the send message popup when you look at an item.

Interesting. So buyers don't know you accept offers until they decide to send you a message. I think that will really cut down on the offers you get. I've never seen the offer button on any of my listings even though I have the accept offer button checked.

What do you ladies do when you receive messages with "offers" like this "$450??"? First off it was a lowball price and the member has 600 loves but the shoe sizes range from 5.5-11, wondering if they are just trying to get the lowest price possible to maybe resell?
Anyway, I've started to ignore these messages bc I find them so rude. No hello, please, or thank you: just a price and a question mark. FFS

I hate those! If they expect you to consider their offer, they should at least be polite. I wonder if some of these people don't have a good command of the English language. No matter how rude a request is, I always respond. I respond politely too, as if maybe my courtesy will rub off! I don't like to alienate anyone. Sometimes they come back and buy at my asking price.

i get these too. a number and that's it, not even a question mark. i delete and don't respond. not worth my time and they are not real buyers, or at least not buyers i would want to deal with anyway.

When my dog knows he has to sit pretty to get something he doesn't usually get, I think people should try to be polite when asking for a big discount. Non-native English speakers can easily use Google Translate to help them write a polite one-liner so as a non-native speaker myself, I don't think language proficiency is an excuse.
