Question: I thought I would try the free printed label (8.50 one) does that mean I can put it on any box going to anywhere? I sold a neverfull and it is going from NY to CA> I would normally spend about 20.00 to mail something of that size and weight to CA so does the prepaid Tradesy label cover that? I am just nervous there won't be enough postage and signature required etc?
Thank you
Yes. They give you a label that is paid by them so it doesn't really matter what the actual weight is.
That is the beauty of their label, print it out and you're done
Well worth the $8.50 to me
And I just had a sale on the other side of the country too, FL to CA
I mailed an item that didn't even weigh 2 lbs last week and it cost me $12.48 to go to CA but sold on Amazon and they only give you a $4.99 shipping credit and take 18% of your sale, painful to sell on Amazon with those fees
This seller has items for $0 plus shipping.

Her closet name is Ela
ETA: I really, really hate the separated shipping! I have to click on each item to see what the real price is!

my email says 4/18 at 12:01am... Wouldn't that mean a minute past midnight today? Lol
I'm interested in a bag listed on Tradesy but the pictures the seller posted are all stock photos. The bag is listed New with Tags. Upon messaging the seller, s/he says that they will buy the bag from the boutique once it's purchased because they have "store credit" at the boutique. Does this sound right? Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Thanks in advance.
I cant say it sounds right but ive noticed that some of the big sellers have mostly stock photos. Does this seller have a lot of sales? like more then 25? If yes then I would be okay with it... but if its not i would stay away
For a number of reasons, I wouldn't buy a bag from a seller who doesn't have the item readily available.
1. First and foremost, stock photos are the copyrighted property of the company who pays a professional photographer to take the pictures and just about every website has a statement to that effect. It's illegal to infringe on someone else's intellectual property and an ethical seller wouldn't do that.
2. If a seller wants to earn the trust and money of a buyer, she needs to take the time to prepare her own listings and that includes taking clear pictures of the item that the buyer is purchasing. Buyers need to know exactly what to expect.
3. Even if the seller intends of buying an authentic item after the sale, how does she know it'll still be available and not sold out?
BTW, in Tradesy's own policy, they state that all work (images, text, graphics) but be the seller's own and not infringe on the rights of others so a seller's use of stock photos violates that policy -- See #6:

If the seller has a credit, she should buy and item with her credit and list that item!
I sold an item that was delivered on 4/11. Buyer requested a return. In the email that Tradesy sent me, they said that the buyer has until 4/23 to send the item to Tradesy for inspection. I thought buyers only had 4 days? Or is that 4 days to initiate the return but almost 2 weeks to actually return it? That seems kind of ridiculous to me.
Also, let's say you bought an item on super clearance knowing its value is a lot more. You list the item and price it for 3x as much. Do you list it as new with tags and keep the tag showing how much you paid? Or take the tag off and list it as NWOT? Wondering if the buyer is upset because she paid a lot more than what I originally paid for the item.

Remove tags showing what you paid but if there's an original manufacturer price tag, leave that. Although it makes sense that sellers flip items to make money, buyers get pissy when they think sellers are "gouging."
The return window is 10 days from the day the buyer files a return request! I am with you, it is a bit ridiculous.
