Here's a new one. I just got this message asking for a VIP discount for a Chanel handbag I have listed. It is so bonkers that it made me laugh.

I was thinking to myself, hmmmm...if you are a real VIP, then you can afford to pay full price!
Haha, I know real VIPs have personal shoppers bring bags to their homes. it's not even like you go to Dior and they close the whole room for you, it's like Dior comes to you. and then I imagine they go "can I get a VIP discount?" :facepalm:
 
LOL.... Wow!
I can't hear tone through the computer. So, I am not sure what you meant by "wow". I know what VIP means. I was curious why the buyer thinks he is a VIP member of Tradesy which is humerous to me. To my knowledge, Tradesy does not have VIP members. I would have asked him too. He is a fascinating buyer. We might have had an interesting conversation.
 
This happened to me a couple times. It's because it's usually a new member and they have to confirm that the form of payment they received clears.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Hopefully whoever bought it is nice and doesn't give me cr*p. I really didn't want to outright sell on my own (I already had issues with a couple buyers on Craigslist and Poshmark), but my offers from Fashionphile/Yoogis were too low for me for this particular bag!

All of my buyers have been nice, even the two returns I had went smooth. As long as you listed accurately and it's authentic, Tradesy will cover returns if she happens to have an issue. That's why I like Tradesy :)

What is with buyers and their unrealistic shipping expectations?! This has been going on a lot lately. Just an example for today, I had a buyer ask me if her item would get there by Friday, i'm not sitting at home waiting to ship items the same day, and even if I shipped it today priority mail is 2 to 3 days. I don't understand The expectations. So if they don't get it within their unrealistic expectations they don't want to buy it at all? SMDH

A HUGE compliment to Tradesy! :tup:

The last few weeks I have reported numerous fakes (Bal items) and they are VERY fast at taking them down! I was extremely impressed. If you give a good detailed explanation of the red flags & issues, they have 'em down in about an hour.
A big improvement! They are ON IT at Tradesy!
Tradesy Grade: A

Poshmark NEVER takes fakes down! I've reported, emailed etc.. and the counterfeits remain and are often sold!!
PoshMark Grade: F

eBay is also very bad at removing fakes. It takes several reports & even then often the bots don't remove them.
eBay Grade: D

Obviously those are my personal grades :p lol but after several years of reporting fakes & checking back, watching poor naive buyers buy those things- that's where I would grade based upon my personal observations.

Way to go TRADESY!
