That is so sweet! I love touches like that. You will think I am cheesy, but I actually like it when I get a nice thank you note. (As we previously discussed).
I always put a thank you note and I include a small gift if I get the sense that the buyer would like it (I just sent an unbranded leather wallet with a pair of heels that I sold). I wasn't using either of them, and the buyer was so thrilled. That made me feel better than the sale itself!

Awww that is so sweet of you too:smile:
And I was just thinking that it's so cool that we can share our small secrets, not only discuss Tradesy experience and site's glitches lol
I've learned a lot from you here, girls:smile:

I had such sad experience, and it wasn't because of some color paper. I kept a pair of new white Loubies in their red dust bag. A girl bought them from me on Tradesy. And when I put them out of the dust bag, I saw that all the backside of one shoe (inside and out) was in pink / red spots:sad: Lesson learned - never put the shoes in it's dust bags. It was so disappointing especially cause they were salready old and paid. Had to take them to leather spa, now they are repainted and lost it's value.

That's so sad. I would have been so upset. I have a few dust bags that are different colors. I only feel comfortable with the white ones. I only use white tissue paper in wrapping up my items as I am so afraid of color transfer. Then I use a heavy plastic bag, sealed around the item before I put in the crushed paper.

That is so sad! I have heard of a similar experience with loubs and the red dust bag. Luckily mine are all dark colors so I think I am safe. You must have been so disappointed when you saw the pink and red spots! Not only did you lose the sale but you had to break the news to the buyer who was looking forward to them.

Good! Then you should be safe. I would still hesitate using newsprint paper with light colored items, because the buyer may easily get the print rubbed off on their fingers and then accidentally get the ink on the item. It would not be your fault, but it's always best to avoid displeased buyers. Especially now that Tradesy is holding funds for so long even for returns that are not SNAD-type, depending on the brand.

That's a good point. I'll keep that in mind since I have a white bag listed.

I just bought a Lamberston Truex Pony hair animal print purse. I got it because I LOVE animal print stuff!!! But I've never heard of Lamberston Truex. Is it a good purse?
https://www.tradesy.com/bags/lambertson-truex-satchel-19384280/

I also had a coupon to use, so I paid less than the price it was listed for :-) After searching around though, I can't find another like it which makes wonder if it is real?

Thanks guys :-)

Hi! I'm so happy to see there is an area to discuss tradesy!
I really need some advice.
I have been selling on tradesy for about 1 year. Mostly selling designer shoes I no longer want.
Recently I started listing designer handbags I no longer want.
My items sell slowly and that is ok for me.
Somehow this weekend I sold 4 items including 2 designer bags.
I print out the prepaid tradesy label. Then I give the items and labels to my husband. He has his staff box them nicely. Then USPS picks up from his office.
Once shipped I usually get an email from tradesy thanking me for shipping.
All items were handed to USPS yesterday.
I have only received the tradesy emails for 2 items.
I have not received the emails for the other 2 items which were the larger boxes containing the handbags.
I'm really worried. They should have been scanned by the post office.
I hope this is clear and not too long!
Any advice? These two items had a value of about $1500 and I'm scared they are lost.
Thank you!

Have you gone to USPS.com and checked the tracking that way?

I would contact Tradesy and ask them to verify tracking ##. It happened to several ppl here including me when tracking # in the system and actual tracking # are different, somehow Tradesy can see them both and can correct it. it's their glitch.

I always take my packages directly to the PO and have them manually scanned in at the counter. That goes for prepaid labels as well. That way I have a record that they received the parcels. Otherwise I would have no proof that the packages ever entered into the system.
