Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Do sellers not get email notifications for messages or something? There have been multiple times I've inquired about items and sellers don't get back to me. It's so frustrating.



I think it depends, I have my alerts set to notify me when I get a message so I actually get a text! . It's possible some sellers don't gave the alert set up, which is not the best practice when trying to sell an item!!
 
super excited... sold an expensive chanel from my collection today. :yahoo: i have an offer button on my items, so not sure why people aren't using it yet... she could have scored it for a bit less.

Congrats!! I don't think the offer button is working as it should. its like a hit or miss sometimes as far as showing up when you view an item.
 
Sorry to be a little late to this discussion... one problem I have with the tradesy labels is they send you a shipping kit, so you have to wait for that to arrive and then ship, right?
When I (rarely) sell things on ebay or tradesy, I like to ship then the next day, which means I get my funds quicker too.
 
thank you for your help! Great deal then. But i would use it only for the items over $500, as I don't feel comfortable to ship without signature confirmation even if it's $200 - 300 deal

Actually it is better if you use their label. Since they issue it, if it gets lost in transit or if the buyer claims no delivery, Tradesy takes care of it all. I hate filing lost claims with USPS- so if and when the item goes missing, Tradesy has to deal with it and you still get paid!

Nope. There are 3 total shipping options: (1) Tradesy shipping kit, (2) print shipping label, and (3) I'll ship it on my own. I believe the shipping kit is the default, so when you're listing (or you can edit existing listings as well), just pull down the tab and choose "print shipping label". This allows you to use your own box/shipping supplies and ship immediately. It is also more cost friendly to your buyers. The shipping label is a flat rate of $8.50 for items valued lower than $2500. If it's more than $2500, you'll have to ship it yourself. If you choose the kit, the price of shipping is based on the size of your requested shipping kit, so it can get pricer than if you were to ship it yourself.

Sellers can set their closet settings to allow for offers or not. A seller can't pick and choose which items allow for offers like you can on Ebay - either all their items have the offer option or they all don't. I have mine set to not to accept offers but it doesn't keep buyers from sending messages and asking.

Thank you! Are you sure I'll get paid even if it's missing? I thought it's all seller's responsibility till the package is delivered on hands, like on eBay.
 
Meanwhile I asked Tradesy about signature confirmation and their shipping labels. Here's what they answered:

The carrier service we use is USPS priority mail labels. There is insurance included on the label, however there is not a signature confirmation. If you would like to have the signature confirmation, you would need to take care of that separately.
 
and the second letter about shipping from Tradesy (just thought it might be useful for someone like me who didn't know it:smile1::smile1:):

The signature is required for orders that are $500-$2500 when using the Tradesy label. All orders shipped with our label are insured.

If an item is lost in transit or not delivered to the buyer, we will file a shipping claim initially to have an investigation done on the shipment. Essentially we alway compensate for lost orders as we are abel to either locate the the item or reimburse/payout for it.
