I am not "verified" either and after my last sale it said Aug 29 or something like that - 21 days. When the tracking showed it was delivered, my funds were released 4 days later, same as before.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I wanted to ask some general questions for sellers because I'm curious how everyone else does on their. Plus, I'm a little bored right now :-p I'll also answer my own questions.
Do your items sell fast? I've only sold 18 things, but usually I sell in two's and on weekends. Then sales will be slow for about a couple weeks and then BAM, 2 different people will buy 2 different items in one day.
Do you buy and sell or list your own items? Most are my own items that I have purchased. A couple were things that I bought with intentions of keeping, but came to find out they didn't work for me and relisted them.
How many items do you have in your closet? 44 and ever changing. I took down a lot of items that weren't worth the time to pack, ship and wait for anything under $40 bucks. Ya know?!
Do you find re-listing an item successful? I had a LV Speedy sitting in my closet for 2-3 months with 21 likes. I removed that listing and re-listed it and sold it in 5 minutes. Maybe people hang out by "recently listed" items. Who knows?
How do you determine how to price an item? I usually price an item with what I'll be happy with. BUT, I have noticed when my items are priced really low because I just want to free up my closet, no one touches them or likes them. But when they are priced higher, I'll get more likes. I wonder why that is?
What's the best deal you've gotten on Tradesy? I've had quite a few actually. I bought a Speedy for 500 bucks that was brand new and shows no signs of wear. I'm keeping her. And I saved money on it versus going to the store and paying $970+. I also found a Celine purse for $125. I thought it would fake because it was such a steal. It was real, I could tell by the zipper and tag and I resold it for $1,500. I also bought two Gucci's, one for $150 and one for $190. They were both worth over $1,000. I bought a pair of YSL shoes for $80, they are worth $800 and they were brand new. It's fun getting deals!!
This one is just for fun: What would you pay for an $800 pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Suede ankle booties with a metallic heel? I listed them and I have quite a few likes, but no one is buying them. Tradesy said suggested price was $251. But they aren't moving and they are in great condition!!! I don't want to go too low and lose money, but I also don't want them to take up space in my closet.

So after the HUGE ordeal where Tradesy tried to keep my money, claiming there were marks inside my brand new pochette until I showed a video proving otherwise, they have now listed my item on their closet. Guess what? They did not mention ANY marks at all in the listing! Additionally, they had told me to use 12 pictures. Guess what? They used 6 of my 7 pictures that I had on my listing! Now here is the best part. I had my item listed for $416.50 plus their $8.50 shipping fee. They have it listed for only $395, but claim it will cost them $30 to ship it! There is NO WAY it would ever in a million years cost that much to ship it!

You got your money, That's all that matters. [emoji4] time to move on
I agree..move on.
When I looked at a few bags in their closet it seems like all of the shipping costs are 30-35$. Maybe they are using the 'use Tradesy shipping kit' option when relisting. IMO I think they don't have enough employees to do a great job relisting returns. Minimal time put into it.
It has nothing to do with "moving on". I have my money and am fine. This just shows the hypocrisy though. How can they use the excuse of "you need to post 12 pictures" or "you need to list condition including if there are marks" (which would apply to other sellers, not me), but then they themselves do not do either. Just making a point. It wasn't like I went searching for my item. It was on my main page when I typed tradesy.com. I would never have known if they did not put it on my landing page for the site (not my closet or my sales, etc, just www.tradesy.com). It is just laughable. I hope this helps future sellers that they try to scam.
I understand....what you went through was very frustrating and I would be annoyed with them too, if that had happened to me.
I just saw they listed it as "Like New."
Crazy to put you through all of that then describe the item without any mention of any mark etc and use your photos. I am sorry you had to go through all of that. So ridiculous anyone would dirty up or damage an item to get a refund. They could return it and just take the store credit.

Somehow, I missed your story. I am here for the good and the bad Tradesy stories. LOL It makes for some good reading and awareness for how selling on Tradesy works. I am also here to support others. Your story shows that everybody is their best advocate. It worked for you. Congrats!

Uh. Funny, isn't it? I find it odd that they told you it had marks and then they list it as no marks. Not fair. BUT as far as shipping goes, they do that because they ship with their shipping kit so it's more expensive. Do you still sell on Tradesy?
I think I am done selling on Tradesy for now. I just sold my Speedy 25 and the buyer messaged me after it was delivered concerned that is was a fake. I attached our messages below.
4 days go by and I transferred my money to my account and then I got an email from Tradesy for authenticity issues. I can't believe it. I'm furious because I know it's real. I did attached a security tag and included it in the listing so I messaged Tradesy the information and they said they will let me know the outcome. They completely pulled my funds from my account and it's on hold for who knows how long!
My worries are that they switched the bag! Why did they wait till after the 4 day period? It's sketchy and if I get a fake bag back and I'm going to be livid.
This makes me not want to sell on here ever again. I'll have to see how they handle it, but right now I'm closing shop! This is my second return in a row and it's just a waste of time and it takes forever to process!

things happen. I wouldn't worry so much about this return. She might return it just because she didn't like it in real, far not all the buyers are scammers
and you had such a nice chat with her, I don't think this return is going to be a problem. I sold 400+ items on Tradesy, and had several returns. Nobody tried to replace my items with fakes or scam me in any other way, and Tradesy was always fair enough, they returned items to me once or twice cause there were some hidden damages that I didn't notice myself, all other cases were in my favor, including authenticity ones. So don't rush to such conclusions, don't close the shop, it's not worth it. Returns are part of the selling process. They happen on eBay too, but on Tradesy they handle everything by themselves, and it's much safer.
