If you keep on replacing the odd photo with a original (non-edited version) eventually the system gives up. I have a listing that's been up for 3 months now. Tradesy cleaned it 3-4 times and I kept on replacing it. It hasn't been cleaned since the last time I've changed it.
I took my original photo and cleaned it myself. Let's see what they'll do this time.
 
I did that once or twice myself, they still posted their photo instead, I reposted mine and they left it alone:smile:
I'll be interested to see what they do. The last time I removed their cleaned photo, they removed my photo and reposted their cleaned version. I'm thinking they cut off the strap because it was too difficult to clean around.
 
I agree, getting Mail box sounds like a good idea. I live in apt, concierge is good in receiving packages but not so much in handling outgoing orders and returns, they can sit here for 3-5 days, so I have to bring it myself.

I will TOTALLY look into that! I have super convenient shipping options but nothing that works for receiving. It wouldn't be a problem for me if the post office would just stay open 2hrs later [emoji12] I do get lots packages--so it would be worth it for the time savings and the peace of mind. Thanks for the tip!!!!
 
Tradesy edited my photo weirdly again! This time they cut off most of the strap. I took a picture with the strap attached to the bag, laid out in front of the bag. All you can see are the edges of the strap at the sides of the bag. They cropped the photo, even chopping a tiny part of the side of the bag. It's like they were trying to hide the strap. The strap is one of the most interesting features of the bag, and I was hoping to highlight it in my picture, as well show how long it was.
Trades just "cleaned" my photo and removed the dust bag?? I just removed the pic and replaced it with the original so let's see how long it stays up for!
 
Let us know how the process goes
Sooooo. I have feedback on my Speedy 25 and Coach purse that got returned.

The Coach purse was returned because my bag was 2 inches off the actual size. Tradesy sided with buyer and she got a full refund. I got my bag back (it took 2 weeks)...unfortunately the Coach box that I included was completely damaged and had to throw away. I was a little ticked. I had it listed with dust bag and box to allure buyers. But now, I can only list it with the dust bag. I decided to pick my battles and not fight over it. Maybe it got damaged by shipment, but still, not right to me.

Tradesy never notified me about my LV Speedy 25, but I noticed that my funds were released to me, so all is good! Whew!

I feel a lot better about the whole thing and I think Tradesy has been very fair. Now, I've learned a lesson and try to accurately post the measurements.

In regards to the words fake and inspired, I didn't really focus on the lingo so when I originally said "fake", I meant inspired. I'm new to this and never really bought inspired bags before, but now recognize the difference of meaning!! The bag I bought was inspired and did not have "Hermes" on the bag at all. Since I got the bag, I actually ended up returning it because the whole argument made me bitter about it and don't really want to have a bag that isn't the real thing. I'll just keep saving my monies!! :-)
 
I work in the medical field so I'm lucky to snatch a few from work. You can buy them on Amazon aslo: https://www.amazon.com/Vestil-SECS-...8&qid=1472675943&sr=8-1&keywords=security+tag

Thank you for sharing. I'm gonna order now. I already had to deal with one return that was most likely switched, and now when I posted pricier bags to finance something that I want I desperately need to add more protection. I was only able to find paper tags so far that IMHO are easy to temper with. These plastic looks perfect!
ETA: just ordered bright yellow uniquely numbered plastic tags, it will be hard to wear bags with them LOL

I just made my 1st Tradesy sale! I'm a long time eBayer but have had the darndest time selling this barely used Alexander Wang bag. I think I had it listed for at least 3 months. I finally pulled it off eBay because I had 25 watchers but kept getting crazy low offers. I opted to use the label provided by Tradesy and am just waiting on the postman to pick it up. Fingers crossed all goes well and I see my money soon.
 
Tradesy has a Labor Day Sale today (I think it's just from their closets) and I had 5 things reserved all by Strawberry Fields and asked them if they can bundle shipping and ship together because the shipping was $10-35 for each item. They wrote back and said they aren't able to do that on this sale unfortunately. They lost my purchase! I totally would have gotten them all! But I'm not paying $175 in shipping! That's crazy.

Yep, up to 20% off, but these are final sale items, non-returnable.
I'm always surprised about Tradesy closets' lack of flexibility, either it's shipping or additional info or better pictures. this is kind of job when they repost original listing and say "no, we can't do that" to any request. then it takes up to two weeks to ship.

I don't understand why they couldn't. When you go online shopping for anything else, you only pay one shipping fee. They could really make some great sales if they did that. Bummer.
