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.

You can remove part of the tag with price (like I often find in items that I buy from Yoox) or you can cross the price with black marker.

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.

if they extended the return period, does this also mean as the seller we have to wait longer for our fund to be release? or is it still 4 days? TIA for your help!

Its 4 days to make a return claim. The item has to reach Tradesy within 10 days otherwise your cash is automatically released. I had a buyer question the authenticity of an LV bag I sold her then she went MIA. They just automatically released the money when they realized she never shipped it

Does anyone know if there is a way to set one item to accept offers? Or is it an all or nothing thing where I have to take offers on all my items or not at all?

It is on closet settings on your profile page. Tradesy does not always show the link on the listing. I saw it a couple of times on my listing by ask a question. I don't think it was on long enough for buyers to use. I saw some sellers advertise it in their listing.

I never see it when I am browsing on my desktop, but when I am on mobile (when I check my "loves") I can definitely see it available for items offered by power sellers.

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!

Thanks much! I thought it sounded fishy and my first instinct was to stay away. Very helpful!

Yeah I knew I could change my closet settings but wasn't sure if I could just do one item or not. Thanks for your response!

It's all or nothing. When you turn on the best offer option, all items are eligible for best offers.

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you!

Thanks for the sweet reply! I misunderstood your question. I am happy another poster answered your question. I wish the accept offers botton would show up on any device.

No worries! I appreciate the input :smile1: I'm only selling a few items. One has been listed a while so I thought I might try offer options on it but I don't want to on the other items.

And I agree about showing up regardless of the device. Seems kinda pointless if it doesn't...
