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.

Darn it! I didn't realize the fee was only because I transferred to PP. In any event I am still pleased with how everything went and the peace of mind that I won't have to fear any returns after they had the bag for a bit.

All in all a good experience!

You pay the 2.9% fee whether you withdraw to PP or your bank. You can only avoid it if you use your earnings to buy something on Tradesy.

The 2.9% fee isn't just for paypal, it's for transferring to your bank too. sorry for the confusion! :-) All in all, I think it's a pretty good deal.

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.

We only pay the PP fee once. I made the same assumption on my first sell too. On the edit page, Tradesy tells us what we earn if we don't keep the money on Tradesy.

Oh ok no biggie about paying it. I just thought they took it all at once when I sold the bag. With that being said I like that they take the fees right at the point of sale. There have been times when I was shocked by my eBay invoice.

someone stole my photos for their own listing and i contacted tradesy via email. their reply was that 'photos are cleaned when submitted.' i responded back that their response wasn't adequate and they came back with 'the bags are different.' so much for customer service.... basically, go ahead and steal pics because it's perfectly acceptable. when browsing listings i often see the complete, identical picture posted multiple times with different prices and different sellers. it's just picture-stealing in action and tradesy doesn't care:confused1: bad for buyers though, b/c when i see that i think it's a scammer selling under multiple names. i have such a huge issue with their "cleaning" because it often takes out watermarks and other background stuff that can help make your photo really unique. super bummed by this site recently

Did you follow the exact procedure? I think it's somewhere in the TOS, or it used to be. Someone on Tradesy had stolen my photos and I followed the exact procedure. I had a prompt email response and the stolen pic were taken down.

To be honest, I bought an LV under another username and sold it on my own closet and used the original listing pictures from the original seller. I also added a few of my own, but hers looked so good so I kept them. Was this a sold item or a current item you have listed?

it's current, not a resale. but yes, i have seen the option to just relist an item you have bought. i guess Tradesy does this as well, technically, when they sell a returned item from their closet using the original listing.

The problem with using pictures from the original seller's listing is that at the time you're selling the item, it might not be in the same condition as when you purchased. As a buyer, I want to see pictures that are taken by the seller at the time she lists it. That way, I can feel more comfortable both that the condition is as shown and that the seller actually has the item in her possession.

Great point. I see my bag in Tradesy closet that was returned with more damage than it had when I shipped it and Tradesy used my photos.
I also wanted to buy another bag but seller's photos were taken when she purchased bag, not current condition. at least she is honest about it, but why not to post current pictures?
