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.

How interesting, thank you. I wonder how they ship orders more than $2500? Chanel or Hermes would be priced above this category.

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.

Well good thing SC comes with packages insured over $500. It was a new change at USPS earlier this year. You can't even add SC if you wanted to.

it's just like an ebay offer button. even when you put a 'make offer' button on items some people don't use it and just buy at the set price. i guess they feel what is listed is fair. not everyone negotiates a deal.

I don't think everyone sees the offer button. I can't see it on any listings. I have my listings set to accept offers but the button isn't available on my listings, or at least I don't see it.

I just wanted to take a screen shot of an item I recently sold for $1800, shipped using a Tradesy label. SC is included due to the fact that the item was insured for $1800 (anything over $500 gets SC tacked on automatically). So for anyone worried about using a Tradesy label for items that require SC, don't be! The label is the best shipping deal you can get (until you reach the $2500 mark).

Thank you! I am so happy that I came by here yesterday:smile1:. Otherwise I'd continue using my labels and wouldn't even know about these wonderful changes in their shipping policy!!!

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.

+1

i don't care about their labels either. as a buyer i waited forever for my item from tradesy b/c i guess they waited for a kit and label to get to them and then it came from across the country and wasn't even priority mail. that isn't good service imo, to wait a week or more for an item. i like to ship same day or next day priority and control the entire process.

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.

Great- thank you for this information. I just changed a Tradesy listing to use their shipping label. Seems like a good deal. I sold a Michele watch on Tradesy once, I realize I should have used their shipping label.

When your item sells, the shipping label becomes immediately available, right? Can you choose a flat rate box from the post office or is it always bring your own box? Seems like they would have fewer options with the premium shipping they provide, which is fine, you just need boxes on hand.
