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.

Great advice. I will be sure to do this in future!

I usually give them to my husband because his company ships out a lot everyday...Typically so convenient.

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 spoke to tradesy. They said it can take 24-48 hours to update in their system. I should not be concerned. She made a note that I shipped yesterday in case the buyer calls asking.
I'll keep u updated on what happens.
Thanks:)

I would also like to say that when I called tradesy they were very pleasant and told me not to worry. Whenever I have called them with any issues or questions they are surprisingly helpful.

I sold a Balenciaga Leather jacket end of July and I have to be able to take out my funds. When I called, the girl told me that someone will email me regarding my fund issue. This is frustrating and none of my listings are moving..
I am planning to take down all my listings and use consignment instead for my other Balenciaga Leather jacket.

End of July?!! I would keep calling until someone helped me. Why are they taking that long, have they given you a reason??

Listings can be slow moving if it's priced to high. If you go to a consignment store you are going to lose a lot of money as they usually take at least 50%. Why don't you just try reducing your items if you really want to sell them?

Many people will shop more for the holidays. Also, it is the season to buy jackets. Tradesy will most likely have great sells for the holidays too. I would just wait it out if it was me. I would take the gamble on the holidays shoppers and the winter season before selling much cheaper to consignment stores. Great pictures and a fair price always help a seller which I bet you did just that. Many people on this forum like the quotes from the online consignment stores, but I am always mystified on the type of quotes they get. :biggrin: Their quotes always motivated me to sell myself.

My 1st tradesy sale was a success! After the buyer received the bag they asked me about relisting because of the color. I told them they could relist or to contact tradesy about site credit. I didn't hear anything else after that and my funds were released to me a few days later. I do like not having to deal with the returns but the fees felt steep. I didn't realize another 2.9% would be taken when I transferred the funds from them. I thought they were taking that automatically when I sold the item and opted not to receive site credit. I transferred it my PP but now I'm wondering if I'm gonna get hit with more fees from PP?

In any event now that I've had 1 sale I will consider using tradesy again in the future. I might be looking to downsize my designer collection so I can move towards being more fiscally responsible.

Congrats on your first sale!! That's awesome! You won't get hit again with PP. You can transfer it right to your bank at no cost. :-) At least for me, and I'm with Chase Bank.

Congrats on your sale! I think Tradesy can be vague about some of it's rules, but the fees are spelled out very clearly. You can even see on your item listing page what your earnings will be for both Tradesy credit and payout. SO much simpler than eBay IMO.

There are no more fees after that. Even with Tradesy's 9% and the transfer fee of 2.9%, it is still cheaper than ebay and Poshmark.
