Hi everyone, I've never bought or sold on tradesy before.. but I want to let go of some of my bags, could you tell me how much of a percentage does tradesy take out of my sale? Do I determine shipping costs? Do the transactions go through paypal? Thanks so much.

Hi! I think you can find most of the answer here:smile: https://www.tradesy.com/sell-landing/

As for shipping costs - you can choose the most comfortable option while creating your listing.
  • Tradesy shipping kit, costs $30 for premium box or $14.5 for polybag (Get Tradesy branded packaging and a prepaid USPS shipping label 2-3 days after your item sells)
  • Tradesy pre-paid label, costs $8.5 (Get a printable prepaid USPS shipping label instantly after you confirm your sale. Use your own packaging materials)
  • Or you can choose your own shipping method if it's more convenient for you (Use your own packaging, tracking number, and shipping label).
Most of us here use Tradesy labels, they cost $8.5 for any item, whether it's a pair of shoes or a luggage:smile: if the item costs $500+, then signature confirmation is included automatically. They also insure all of your packages if they are lost or damaged, and they take care of everything in case if it happens.

Just venting.... it's so frustrating when a buyer makes a return request just HOURS before the funds will be released! [emoji35]

Ugh, that's horrible, I'm sorry. :sad: That's actually one of my biggest fears on Tradesy, but so far my buyers have been nice... *knock on wood*

I'm just curious, how did you know when your funds get released? I thought Tradesy changed their policy where sellers would have to wait 21 days? Dumb question, I realize.

Yes super frustrating when it's a $1600 sale.

You can tell by looking at your "manage payouts" and it will show you the date and time it will be released. It's four days for verified sellers.

I can't believe some people. I'm really sorry about that. When will buyers realize that we aren't stores!

Ah, ok, got it. I need to get on it and verify my identity!

Yuck. That happened to me once, where I just withdrew my funds and since it was still in the 4 day period, they revoked it when she requested a return an hour before the day was over.

I had to wait another 2 weeks because she took forever to ship to Tradesy.

I did get my money eventually, but still. I hated every second of it.

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?

I checked with Tradesy on this before. Twice actually. Both CS told me that as long as the item was never used then it's considered new.

I just came across this listing that obviously shows image from dept store as main pic, but the bag in possession shows huge discoloration (almost white rubbed off areas all over) and yet seller has guts to claim it's "like new"? some ppl...

It is an aspect of selling that is not fun. That's why I can't do EBay's six months waiting period on expensive items. I got one cancellation on Tradesy before shipping, thank God. The rest of my sales' transactions were smooth sailing. I hate waiting those four days. I feel like I am sweating it out those four days hoping the buyer likes the bag. I don't celebrate the sale until those four days are up. I learned not to celebrate early with my first cancellation because the buyer purchased the wrong color. Looking back, I am happy with the cancellation now because I resold it for more money. Cancellations are not fun, but it might be a blessing in disguise.
