just my opinion, but perhaps those were the two items the buyer complained about? you can't know if what they tell you about a return reason is accurate or not. or, maybe by removing accessories it helps make for a 'cleaner' sale for tradesy, since there is less for a buyer to complain about? less is more with buyers sometimes, and even when i have stuff i leave it out too - why send a dustbag when they can *possibly* complain about it??

I have asked Tradesy on at least 4 different chats for an example of a reason, besides a buyer requesting a return, that would justify them holding any funds from a sale for longer than 96 hours after confirmation of delivery. NONE of them will answer that question.
Have also found out that ONLY Canadian buyers use the Pitney Bowes GSP "distribution center" in KY. And yes, they almost always repackage items to make them lighter/cheaper. Plus they need to verify that what is stated as contents is really what is contained. I have asked who takes responsibility for that, only to be naively told that that does not happen. Clueless is about all I can label that with.
To any other country they use something US (can't remember name right now) as reshippers, and the same rules must apply to reshippers. Reshippers are responsible for what they ship. They open and repackage most items to save weight, to fill out customs forms, etc.
Tradesy had no clue of this happening. Have removed all items, as there is no option to opt out, and they cannot tell me any reason why they would hold my funds other than a customer-initiated return within 4 days. Pure lies, pure "not my dept" answers.
They will find out the hard way how reshippers work, and that their claims from international buyers will come back to bite THEM, not the reshipper.

I sent a package that has been in KY for 3 days now. I'll wait until the whole transaction is complete to decide how I feel about this. It's definitely taking longer than a domestic sale.
Fortune Cookie? Like the kind you eat? Or those glass kind?
Well, after reading some of these I think I'll just stick to a nice Thank You note with a bow on the purse and wrapped in nice tissue paper.
like those you get in Chinese restaurants, with nice notes / wishes inside
people usually don't eat them, but I always do
I would think that if there had been some problem with the sale other than that the item didn't fit or similar, that Tradesy would have informed me of that and I would have had an "item not as described" dispute to deal with. What would the buyer have to complain about concerning a watch pillow and the battery working? Maybe I'm not understanding correctly. Granted, I'm not a large seller but I always thought that I could get a slightly higher price for an item if it came with all its original accessories.

having all of the accessories does sometimes lead to a higher price point, but (depending on the item) it's not hundreds more. mostly, having all the accessories helps your item sell much faster b/c buyers feel safer about authenticity if you have all the goodies. who knows why they left it off though... fashionphile and yoogi's often do the same thing... even if you send them all of your stuff they remove bits and pieces and list it how they want. once it's not yours anymore, who cares anyway.
Questions about shipping with your own supplies: Do I use my own address on the shipping label or put Tradesy's address?
I bought an LV once from a seller who used her own materials and when I got the package, it was her own address on the label. I personally wouldn't want that.

I shipped using my own supplies. On one item, I used their label and their (tradesy's) return address showed. For another item, I could print my own listing cheaper so I charged for shipping and my label had my own address as the return address.
Haha seriously, i did not even bother to be more kind with my response. Seriously I'm going to sell a $1200 brand new pair of shoes
That would irritate me. Looks like they are on sale right now for $700? If she really wants them she can save an extra 300 bucks! You don't go to Nordstrom and ask the associate if you can get a discount because it's not within your budget!!!
By the way, is that a Tradesy discount or is it yours? I see that "green" sale tag on some items, but it's never on mine.
This is tongue-in-cheek but the type of response I'd be tempted to but wouldn't send.
Dear wannabe buyer,
Rather than requesting that I reduce my price on a gorgeous pair of shoes, you might be better served to shop within your budget.
Sincerely,
Not-your-seller
If you ship using your own postage, you should use your own return address. I don't really like it, but when I sell on ebay, I use my own address so it is no different than that. I include a packing slip that has Tradesy's address on it, so if they need to return, they won't be tempted to send it back to me.
I'm selling mine for $700 (I was just referencing that they are a 1200$ pair[emoji6]). I ordered from Netaporter sale (final sale). They were a size too small, I orders the next size up and and just trying to recoup my cost on these. Never the less I am no power seller, just selling to empty out closet, I am a total bargain hunter so sometimes when I order something it's final sale which sucks, but that's what Tardesy is for[emoji6]
Why don't you use Tradsey's label? It's easy and has Tradsey's return address on it.
