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!

Yes, I've noticed that they're more responsive and handling things better now than they did when I started using the website 2 years ago. It also could be that they're getting more funding now than when they first started so maybe more staff. It was a hot mess trying to report things at the beginning but recently I've definitely see improvements in this area when I've reported items.

I'm not an expert in LV by any means but that looks fake to me too- From my understanding they NEVER cut off the initials "LV".
I can't say for certain but it indeed looks fake. If you know LV and are good at authenticating, report it & state your reasons..
I only trust myself doing Balenciaga.

I did report it. Right away, it just looked off and not like the "real" one I have my eye on.

Pet Peeve: When people post a picture of their luxury purse on the dirty, yucky outside ground! I've seen pictures of people setting their purse on gravel, rocks, pavement, sidewalk and even asphalt! WHY?!
Also, when people ship the item you just bought from them in horrible packaging!! I just got my Louis Vuitton purse and the girl stuffed it with glitter tissue paper, now there is glitter everywhere inside!! UGH.

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

I offer to pay extra $20 - 30 for overnight shipping in this case and send by USPS Express, though I like Tradesy labels much more. Some buyers agree if they really need to get their purchase asap.

In the last 6 months, I've also had good luck in getting Tradesy to act on reports.

As you've found, Poshmark never removes them, nor does Etsy.

Bonanza is another that's very responsive. In the brands I know, I rarely find fakes and when I do, they're removed within an hour of reporting them.

Bonanza. Had it ever worked for someone? I didn't even receive any questions from potential buyers there, not even one. For several months

oh and about eBay. I've found Herve Leger dress there for $150. It's marked as Herve Leger, but seller even wrote "Please note that this is not Herve leger brand, but it is made in the same factory as Herve leger and is of the same quality". I reported a couple of months ago. NOTHING. Seller relisted this dress several times since then. :sick:

I do (what I consider to be) well there. I opt in to additional promotion and can pay a higher than 3.5% commission but it's rare that I get charged the max.

I found a listing for a red dress ($120). If that's the listing you're talking about, are you sure it's fake? I don't see any markings with the brand although the RN number is for BCBG Maxazria.

IMO, she's KWS but not selling a fake. (She's also wrong in stating the brand in item specifics as Herve Leger.)
