Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

[katlun]

They must have a certain limit. Because I've always gotten the full amount. I usually ask between $10-15. I can see them doing that if it was over $50. Who knows...

Tradesy does take commission on shipping costs, no matter how much or little you charge

I just sold an item for $40, had shipping cost at $3.50, buyer paid $43.50 and I got $39.58, Tradesy took commission on the total amount that the buyer paid

Has anyone had a potential buyer ask for express overnight shipping? She said she needs the bag tomorrow etc. I explained I can do express for an extra fee but there is no way I can promise she will have the bag tomorrow because Tradesy must confirm the sale. She has asked me to use fedex and sent me several messages on how she must have the bag because she is leaving the country. I should add she did the same thing about a week ago, saying she had to have the bag the next day. I was out of town so back then I told her no as well. I may be paranoid but I am getting a bad feeling.

Don't do it!!!

Tell them no!

It's a common tactic used in scams. By the time you find out you've been scammed, the buyer has the item and you'll lose the money.

*****They don't offer than on their label (albeit, they should have one for all of that) That's why I do my own for my more expensive items. I definitely want good insurance (not the $50 they use) and proof it was delivered so my designer bag isn't on someone's hot porch.

Tradsey labels have insurance coverage and SC for an item over $500 per their policy.

Yes, Tradesy has changed their policy. If a seller is not verified, then the seller has to wait I think 21 days at the longest. Tradesy is trying to push sellers to be verified by giving their social security number, bank account information, and sometimes drivers licenses to a third party. I really don't understand the need for sellers to have to give up so much personal information to sell a handbag but that's their rules.

is it safe to do so? I'm not comfortable giving away my SS number.

I had the same situation happen maybe two months ago. I ended up ignoring after a while because I wasn't comfortable considering how much money was involved, and I ended up consigning the bag anyway.

I'm not verified and mine say something similar. However, since they implemented the new policy I've had mine released 4 days after delivery, just like before, in all but one case. The 21 day hold is the maximum. One difference is that they put the minimum 4 day hold even on non-brand name items.

I wouldn't and I didn't.

They take commission on shipping if you don't use label to avoid people circumventing fees

Ok, makes sense.

Over $500 includes signature confirmation. I'm not sure what their current insurance coverage terms are. They seem to change every so often.

That's great to know for next time, thanks!

I just had my first returned item!! oh no!! The buyer just received it today and she already requested a return! I'm so nervous! I included the box and dust bag and listed as new. I'm afraid of what she is going to do to it :-/

How did you know she requested a return? It turns out I've had a couple, judging that they ended up in Tradesy's closet but I was never notified. I have another that I suspect is being returned because my money is still being held, but it looks exactly like all the others.

Have you sold a lot of things? Maybe if you have sold a lot, they don't tell you. I've only sold 18 things. But this is my first return.

Also, I attached a security tag, so hopefully that helps somewhat!!

Maybe it is because you are verified. I've had about 75 sales. I didn't know I had any returns until I went through my sold items and found the ones that didn't have "sold for" in front of the price. I found two that were resold by Tradesy and two that were relisted by my buyers. Another item completely disappeared. It shows on my sales page but not in my closet, and the listing is gone. I have no idea what happened to that one.

I've had returns but I've never received any messages from Tradesy about them-I've just seen them moved to one of Tradesy's closets. Though I haven't had any returns in a while and like I commented before they change things. The wording makes it seem like the buyer may have requested a return for not as described. ("...that requires further review")
I hope it works out for you and in a timely manner!
