I have to take that back; they will most likely attack those prices too. :biggrin: Sorry! All I know is that they messaged me more when I was priced to sell. Some of the low ballers were nice, though. They kindly asked me if I had anymore wiggle room. The hagglers that took too much off on a priced to sell item is so annoying to me. I don't counter which made them mad. In those situations, I think my item was already low priced or can only take a 100 dollars or less off which I knew was not good enough for them.

My favorite are always those buyers who come back and say my items are not the colors or styles they want! Or those come with more than $1000 lower than my listings! So somehow some ppl just have too much time to kill I guess

Since it has been implemented, I've gotten my money 4 days after delivery, the same as before. The only difference for me so far is that on lesser brands, I used to get my money as soon as tracking said it was shipped; now I have to wait 4 days after delivery. I bet some sellers were sending rocks or something in place of the item so they can't trust anyone anymore.

Fingers crossed for me then! Just sold a none designer brand so hopefully I get to see the money in 4 days

I only had 1 item I sold long before that had funds available immediately! Others even though prices were $100 or $200...I've always had to wait.

I think it also may be that Tradesy when they relist the items it does not seem like they retake pictures they just reactivate the listing. I noticed that with a pair of shoes and a bag I sold. For one reason or another the buyers retuned the items I don't know if it was because of size or whatever, I was not involved I got paid and Tradesy did the rest. But the pictures were the same pictures ones I took.

On one of my recent sales, the buyer returned a watch immediately for being too large and then I noticed that Tradesy reactivated the listing shortly after in their shop but while the watch I sold came with a watch pillow and the battery in perfect working condition, I noticed under the description that they noted that "the battery is dead and the watch pillow is missing". If the buyer had returned the item like that, then my sale would have been flagged as inaccurate, no? But I got my funds promptly without any problems so I found that really strange. Did Tradesy themselves remove the pillow and kill the battery somehow and if so, for what reason? Still don't understand that one... Anyone have something like this happen?

I recently had a return for a brand new Chanel item. The buyer instantly requested a return after delivery. I was a bit concerned about a switcheroo. I've refused to go thru the verified option so I assumed I'd have to wait a long time for funds. I decided to send the return dept all my photos I take before shipping. And the receipt with the Chanel authenticity number, and pics of the hologram and card. I block out series numbers. But take all the appropriate pics prior to shipping. My funds were released the day after the item was returned to Tradesy. So only a day longer than a 4 day escrow. I think it helps the return dept verify and authenticate by doing this. Just my experience.

I am getting so fed up with these buyers over there right now. First someone tried to say my Tiffany pouches were fake so they delayed me getting my money because they initiated a return, but then never returned the item so it was a 10 day delay for nothing. Now I just sold a brand new authentic LV damier ebene with rose ballerine wristlet that the buyer received today and because she did not get a receipt, she started a return so now I have to wait another 10 day delay for this crap. RIDICULOUS. Tradesy lets these buyers get away with nonsense. I send them a video each time. I provide receipts and pictures each time. Yet I have to wait. My listing did not say a receipt would be provided. The item is exactly as described. I wish I could BLOCK these buyers so I don't have to worry about them again in the future. Between this and the low ball offers being messaged to me even though I don't have the offer thing turned on, I am just about to give up on that darn site.

BTW, I have 59 sales over there so am not just some newbie. They are always going to side with the buyer's BS remorse excuses in initiating a return because that means they keep earning interest on MY money while it delays payment to me. UGH. Rant over

I've found some buyers are really nosy particularly the ones that have sold a lot of items on Tradesy. They'd love to hassle for super low prices yet they list their items at outrageous prices. And I've always thought this is why! Resell for profit!

One of my Chanel items was bought and sold by another pro-seller and she tried to recoup the amount (she bought it after lots of negotiations but I didn't give in on price...I love the bag so I would keep it if I can't sell). It took her several months as she wouldn't give up any dime on pricing.

Another one recently messaged me several times asking if I'd sell lower while her worn Chanel wallet was sold over $1000! (Who bought it!!?? That was more than gently used!!) and she kept telling me my item wasn't even in the color she wants (even if I sell you for $1 the color won't change!)

It is so off putting when buyers tell you how what is wrong with your listing (wrong color, too worn, style isn't their favorite) and then ask for a huge discount. I had a buyer message me about a bag listed for $2500 a few weeks ago. Her message said that it looked really worn and in bad condition so could I reduce the price to $1200? It was not very worn at all, as my description and many pictures showed, but her angle was obvious, so I just politely messaged back that I have a similar bag that is in pristine condition, but that I wouldn't sell it for under $4,000. Of course she didn't really want the perfect condition bag! She just wanted to insult my item to get a lower price. I feel like asking, "If you find the bag to be so unpleasant, why do you want to buy it?"
I love your comment "even if I sell it for $1 the color won't change"! That is the quote of the month [emoji5]

I don't include a gift because I like to keep it simple, and I like Tradesy because it feels simpler to sell there than eBay. For me, anyways. I know the buyers do give some feedback to Tradesy after a transaction, but it's not like ebay's feedback system!

Is there any place to see this seller feedback? I have never been able to find it.

Edit: I saw the responses after mine- looks like the answer is no.

I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I was wondering how you can check a closet of person who messages you. I was trying to click on their icon in the message and it doesn't do anything. I was trying to search for their names and never can find their closets. What am I doing wrong?

I think i know why I wasn't able to look at closets of people who message me. This feature is not available in the app but you can open their closets using the website
