Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Is tradesy slow in approving sales or something lately? Someone purchased one of my items 1.5 days ago and I called tradesy this morning but they just gave me the usual respond that they're looking to make sure everything is good before letting me confirm the sale. I'm just getting a little antsy that maybe there's something wrong with the buyer?? Does anyone experience this before?
The last two things I've sold lately took at least two days.
 
Can't sign into my account, anyone else having an issue?
YES!! Last night I found a screaming deal on a Louis and went to go sign in and it said "too many attempts to login", so I created another account and bought the bag really fast. But it really made me mad. I was hoping I wouldn't miss out on that Louis! Now I have two accounts. Which I don't really like.
 
Valid point. I see what you are saying. Albeit, returning/buying in a department store is all done in person and much easier than waiting for your money back which can take up to 2 weeks with Tradesy. Plus at a department store, you don't get a credit, you get your money back. Tradesy mostly gives you a credit if you weren't happy. Plus, I'd rather feel and touch a returned item than purchase blindly from a post that has the old listing and prior pictures.

When I first joined Tradesy, I bought from one of their closets, I was clueless that they were a return closet and they told me that the purchase was final price and cannot be returned. I thought it was weird since they say they take all returns, but I anxiously waited...took them forever to ship (not kidding, 2 weeks) and I did get the shoes finally and nothing was wrong with them and looked brand new.

But it just made me extra cautious. Buying online is scary period, especially buying used.

You're certainly entitled to buy from or not buy from whomever you wish and for whatever reason but the reasons you're saying just don't make sense.

Personally, I love shopping at stores that have liberal return policies because of their return policy. I know I can return that item that doesn't look as good on me as it did on the hanger. Or that bag that didn't hold my stuff as well as I'd hoped. Or those jeans that were slightly too big at the waist and too tight at the hips.

Just because those items didn't work for me doesn't make the store (Nordies, Bloomies, Louis Vuitton, whatever) a bad "seller" nor does it mean there's something wrong with the item. It just didn't work for me.

Additionally, if an item is returned (on Tradesy) for one of the above reasons, the seller doesn't even know about it! So for me to think that Tradesy's liberal return policy, something that draws people TO their site is actually costing me buyers, it's bothersome.


"Touched by many people?" Do you think you're the only person who looked at and bought any item at any department store? Do you think that your feet are the only ones that have tried on a pair of shoes at Lord and Taylor? Although I'm speculating, I willing to bet that most of the inventory in any department store has been "touched by many," and probably tried on by many people and even bought and returned multiple times. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with the quality of the item.

It's the nature of the business!

Be aware that this is against their terms of service and when I was reading reviews on them at Better Business Bureau, people lost ALL affiliated accounts they signed up for when they signed up for more than one account.

I just spent 20 minutes reading their terms of service. Can you please show me where you saw that?

Thanks :-) I'm calling Tradesy also.

Also, why would they do that? If I buy stuff on one account, let's say it's my boyfriends, but with my payment information and my shipping address and I sell on another with the same info, I don't see how that is bothering anyone? I gave my information to them, they didn't flag it. I purchased the item and it's being delivered next week. Everything is legal and I'm not doing anything fishy. Just purchasing an item on another account since they wouldn't let me sign into my own with their glitch they had last night.

Ha, ha that's funny. It is like trying to grab that deal before someone does during Christmas shopping at the mall.

Trust me, it totally reminded me of a frantic day like that! I was so determined! haha While the item was "reserved" by me, it was getting tons of likes. I knew it would be gone if I didn't create a new account.

Also regarding multiple accounts, Tradesy does not "advise" it, but it's not prohibited. Their reason: to avoid issues with selling items. Creating a second account to buy items is okay if you have another account to sell items. They just don't want multiple seller accounts listing the same items.

:-) Whew, had me scared for a second since I have pending money.

I would be scared too. I am glad it worked out for you. Enjoy your new purse! If I was your seller, I would be so happy because I would know that you really wanted the bag.
