I have been selling on tradesy for the past year just to sell designer shoes and bags I no longer use. Al items are from my closet.
My items sell slowly and that is ok for me.
This past month I have sold so many items. So it motivated me to list a lot more items.
Now that I have 20 items listed, I have not sold anything. Even with this coupon, nothing.
How are your sales?
Do you find you sell more with coupons?
I guess the saying "a pot watched over never boils" is true lol!

I just sold 3 things in one day. I'm not sure if it's from the sale, though. I keep getting soooo many likes on one of my bags, but not sure if that means anything either. It has been reserved 5 times that I noticed, but no one has bought it yet. I watch my closet like a hawk sometimes. haha. Maybe I should stop.

I do notice that once one thing sells, another one always follows. They always come in two for me. I don't have a lot listed either, under 30 items.

Don't worry. It took me 6 months to sell one of my items. Some things just sit for a while. :oh:

Yes! My sales always come in multiples. It is so odd. Nothing will sell for a long time then all of a sudden a few come in. Over Labor Day weekend I sold 4 items for a value of $2000...since then nothing! Prior to that I would just list and forget about it. Now I'm just waiting for more sales!

It is so interesting how items will sit for months and then sell all of a sudden. That has happened to me multiple times. I find it so odd!

Yep!!!

And I was about to give up on it, too. I tried poshmark, consignments, even Craigslist. No bites at all, and it was dirt cheap! Then all of a sudden it sold and made me so relieved! :lol:

I had over 100 hearts on the bag. I could have sold the bag much earlier, but that is another story to itself. :biggrin: Yes, I learned to not watch my listing on my last sale, avoid watching what others sold for, and not to fluctuate the price (makes people watch, than buy). I realized I was working too hard to sell my bag. A low baller on Tradesy helped me see the light :p, and my father's opinions about how to sell. I decided to rely on my great pictures and concise description to sell it. Before I changed my approach to selling, I got a quote from Fashionphile, but I knew I could easily do better on my own. I can't believe for a day or two I even tried Craigslist. :biggrin:

I was wondering how the rest of you classify your items when listing things that are New without tags. I find it to be a dilemma because I have some clothing items that don't come with tags, I have some items that have a tag but it's not attached, some where the tag is removed at the boutique, etc. SO they don't fit the description of NWT, but then I put them in "Like new" which states it may have been worn, and put in the description that's it's new.
Opinions?

Hi everyone! I just sold my first item on Tradesy and I'm so excited!!! I normally sell on Poshmark and end up being low balled and just taking whatever people offer but this time I was selling a Chanel item that was brand new but it was caviar and I ended up not liking it and since I bought it in Europe I wasn't able to return it and I really wanted to break even so I tried Tradesy and it took about a month to sell but it finally sold yesterday! I shipped it out today hopefully everything goes well and I'll get paid soon!

If the item was never worn and doesn't have any signs of use, I classify it as NWT even if I don't have tags / full package. But I mention about it in item's description. Not sure Tradesy would agree with it, but I didn't have any problems with it for almost 2 years.

I think the best method is to be honest.
If it's never been used/worn/washed etc.. and you have the tags (even removed) it's new with tags.
If you don't have the tags, it's new without tags & you can add "NEW" with a snip about why there is no tags, to the description.
If they don't have the new without tags choice, I would choose "new with tags" and explain that the item is new yet doesn't have tags.
New is NEW..

The big No-No arises when a person opts for "new with tags or without" and goes on to say "worn once blah blah" That's NOT new.

If an item is new, unused and includes the original manufacturer tags, whether attached or not, I describe as NWT. I agree that an unused item shouldn't have an implication that it might show signs of use.

they should add "new without tags" to item's specific I think. Maybe they will once, I hope so.
