i just turned on my vacation button, which is a nice feature... but all of my listings are now dead - thy cannot be added to a bag. i suppose because i wouldn't be able to confirm/ship in a timely manner. i wish it was a bit similar to ebay... you can put yourself on vacation, but people can still buy, with the understanding of a shipping delay. i'm just bummed b/c i see they are having a spring sale with the 200 off.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Tradesy just copped to an oops, they released the codes one day early, it wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow but they work now so we get 2 days.

It's an exclusive early access because I'm such a special customer. Didn't you get the email?Tradesy just copped to an oops, they released the codes one day early, it wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow but they work now so we get 2 days.
I've had a couple of sales on eBay (ages ago) where I was on travel for school and I wouldn't be able to ship in a timely manner. Even with that "vacation mode" on, people still bought it and expected me to ship. I had two buyers dinged me for not shipping on time. They told me that if I couldn't ship, I shouldn't have the listings up. Turns out, they're right. Even with the notice up, if you don't ship in time, eBay holds you accountable. I called CS and they told me that sometimes buyers can be a PITA and demand it knowing it can't be fulfilled but it's still within their rights to do so. The only way to truly be on vacation with no consequences is to removed all listings- lose all my watchers etc...
Sometimes I still wonder if those buyers purchased my item on purpose to have my account dinged...
On ebay it is just a message. Sometimes I'll see it on brand new listings and I wonder why the seller set up listings to start while she was gone. You only have access to the message if you have a store so I've never used it.
What bothers me is if I'm going somewhere just for a few days, on ebay, I'll have to remove my listings just in case someone buys something and I won't be able to ship on time. Then when I relist them when I return, I have to use up more of my precious free listings. Also on ebay, I have to stop selling a week or two before I leave, just in case I have any returns or buyer problems.
Maybe the vacation mode is just an easy way to remove all your listings temporarily without having to do them one by one.
I just feel lucky that the code will apply to my closet. Trades doesn't put anything in my closet on sale anymore.
I shipped once, the address was weird so I confirmed it with the buyer who turned out to be from Middle east. I used my label - signature confirmation is a must in this case. once it was delivered (and signed) I got payed. what happens next is a private business between forwarder and the customer.
They cut the amounts a while back, after the November sale as I recalled. Subsidies do come to an end at some point, I guess they have to reduce their cash burn rate or risk going under. Am grateful that they're around to provide an alternate platform to eBay.
I just got asked if I ship to Canada today, I emailed Tradesy and they told me the buyer needs to use a freight forwardering company.
i never asked how payment would happen, that is a good question, because Tradesy pays when buyer recieves the item.
