I have just met a crazy buyer. Offering me a ridiculous low low price, especially on coupon day! :doh: I kindly explained why her price is not fair to a buyer AND seller. I was basically explaining why her ludicrous offer would never be accepted nicely. Then she comes back with contact her if I won't to sell for a low price. :shocked: What in the world is wrong with this buyer? I then realized a seller can't reason with the unreasonable bottom feeders. They can't buy at a good price, only predatory prices. :yucky: She did not comprehend a word I said. I told her never, and I am not a fool. Goodbye, girl! :biggrin:

I have so many of them always every day, I learned to answer just "the price is firm, thank you", though I want to write so many things that sound less correct:biggrin::biggrin:

I've both sold and bought some stuff off of this website and I only have good things to say about them! I sold my Ferragamo bag but USPS lost the item (and didn't scan it either..) oddly enough I sold my ferragamo boots on the same day and shipped it the SAME way (so they left my office together) but that one made it. I'm guessing a courier got greedy or something. Anyways, so USPS refused to pay me back for any of it because they said there was no proof that I shipped it out at all in the first place...

The entire process I was messaging the buyer updating them - I asked tradesy for help after the item never turned up and they took care of the situation amazingly. They let me keep the sale funds and also refunded the buyer without argument. I was so impressed by their customer service that I really enjoy selling on the website and trust them.

I also feel like things get sold for more $ on Tradesy compared to ebay since when you take out your fund you have to pay 3.9% or something transction fee so people just buy other stuff with their tradesy balance :P Usually I just post something up there and kinda leave it up there and it gets sold... eventually. Might take awhile though ahaha.


PS I think other mail things were disappearing from my office, my office now has a security camera in the courier pick up area =_=

I just found out that I have 2 returns, but they were not marked as "Return request" as they used to. They are "Pending" but when I look at the details in my "Manage payout" section, I see that these items are "Pending Customer Service Review". No notifications, no e-mail, not even sign "Return request", I'd never know about it if I don't look at the details of each transaction clicking on it. I asked one of the buyers and yes, she did return the item as it didn't fit. Is it some weird innovation or just another glitch? Did anyone else notice that?

I thought maybe now it happens with such returns when item doesn't fit or buyer changed their mind? Sellers used to not know about such returns several months ago, we just received our funds as if nothing happened. Maybe they returned to this version but now they hold the money for any return, just don't mark all the returns as "Return request", only the ones about authenticity or mispresentation issues?

I noticed that too. And buyers on eBay ask for discounts way more often then on Tradesy too.

I never knew about any returns I had, so I don't think that part has changed. Did you ever get a notification on returns in the past? I didn't find out until I looked through my sold items and they were missing the "sold for" along the bottom of the picture. I do believe that they have changed their system so that every return is treated the same way. Tradesy waits until they get the item back and examine it before they release your money, unless you are verified. I just had one that got released on the last day. I would imagine Tradesy got burned by returns that weren't claimed as fake or misrepresented but still were. Then Tradesy was stuck with the items.

I know how it works, yeah, I am verified, I am selling on Tradesy for 2 years and sold 429 items:smile: I just noticed that the items were marked "Request return", and now they are "Pending" even if they are returns. i am talking about full version in my browser, not the app. When you click on "Manage payouts" there, every order has it's status. its (Pending) or (Request return) when it's gray and italic. and when funds released it becomes black and these notes within brackets are gone. Yes, I did receive e-mails about returns in the past, but not recently. They treat every return same way, right. But I just noticed that status didn't change in my last return orders. It used to and now it didn't Maybe it's my English or maybe I'm bad in explanation..:)

Maybe because you are verified you got emails about returns. I never did. For me, every item shows pending until my money is released. I knew I had a return because they released the money on the 4th day but on the 5th day, they took it back and the status changed back to pending. I've never seen anything in my Manage Payouts section that says "request return." I know this item was returned because it is now in Tradesy's closet, but at no time did it say "return requested" or anything similar on my account. It showed pending just like every other sale.

I became verified a couple of weeks ago, they made me:biggrin: but that's weird that it works different for us, as I always saw when I had return and they used to send letters (but now they don't). They seemed like this:

Yes, it's odd I never received anything. I thought I had never had any returns. Then a few weeks ago, I figured out how to see which items had been returned and I was surprised to find 3 of my items were resold by Tradesy.

I think it will eventually be marked as for sale in Tradesy's closet. For the items I sold that were returned, I could see them for quite a while in Tradesy's closet, but market as Unavailable. After a while(a few weeks? I don't remember) they were available for buying in Tradesy's closet.

My item showed up in Tradesy's closet for sale today, so only 2 or 3 days after my money was released. I'm pretty sure that when it was unavailable a few days ago, it was in Abbey Road, now it is in Strawberry Fields. They changed my description somewhat and raised the shipping from $8.50 to $10.00. It's a very small bag, around a pound in weight.
