Tradesy have been very busy with little tweaks here and there. you used to have to go to 2-3 different places to see when money would be released but now it's all on the same place - the sales page with tracking, when it was delivered etc.
Agreed that the app isn't 100% sync-ed with the desktop page, but I imagine that it too will catch up. until recent changes I used to be able to select Like New but add my own notes like store display, handling issues etc but now no longer can. if it's Like New then it's their standard wording with no customization. it's a shame though cuz they should allow users to add their own notes no matter the condition. the app still have some other quirks still, like cropping my pics too much amongst other stuff.
I don't have Android so never had to use it but it's too bad about it being relegated to 3rd world status with buying only, no selling feature. I still rely predominately on desktop site for my listings because it seems to be the most robust and current as platform goes.
Has anyone had a really, really bad experience with buying on Tradesy? I only ask because I see so many bad reviews of Tradesy online from buyers who claim that they were sold fakes. I'm pretty sure most of these people are either uninformed (ie, have little experience with secondhand items) or remorseful buyers but still.
I guess I'm amazed because all my buyers have been nothing but pleasant and easy to deal with. *knock on wood*

Bummer, I didn't know Tradesy can do it now. When I was trying to list some of my items at vestiairecollective.com, it was a nightmare. They take 30+% of the price, that's already horrible. But when I put the price that I think was appropriate, they started negotiating, sending lowering price offers, and you can bargain 2 or 3 times, they can offer to set a bit higher price, but still will not let you leave the price you wanted to from the beginning. I wrote them a letter showing links to some worn shoes that costed more then mine NWT. They answered that it's kinda not a question for discussion and their experts know better what prices fit their site. so they make you sell cheap (especially considering their %) or decline your listings.
do you have any doubts? lol
And she's been a member here for 2 years yet just making the first post? Hmmm.
I will share the story when I can. I believe it will work out. Thank you for your concern.

The reason she asked if you meant Tradesy is because you posted and referred to having called Ebay and you were wating for Ebay to respond - it was your post #5576 quoted below:The situation is not a common problem. It can happen to anybody though. I am sure nobody here would want it to happen to them. The story involved Tradesy, so yes I am on the right thread. It is an interesting story. I will leave it with that for my privacy. I will share the story when I can. I believe it will work out. Thank you for your concern.
I think we're confused as to why you'd call ebay about a tradesy issue.
I understand. I should have shared when I could reveal the whole story. I did not think I needed to share everything before I could, my bad. I was venting with my first post. Thanks everybody that wished me the best. I greatly appreciate it. I will speak on it again when the problem is resolved. I hope everybody are having lovely experiences on Tradesy. I will see y'all later.

Wow. My mind honestly can't fetch an issue that crazy! I'm really curious now. The anticipation is killing me!
Me too. So many crazy scenarios are possible. for example buyer sells a bag on eBay for profit (without having it in possession). she buys the bag from seller on Tradesy and has her ship this bag to her eBay buyer. Buyer claims SNAD and so it begins.
I thought about it bec I had customers on Etsy trying to return my jewelry after return window (most likely wearing it for 10-14 days) then they relist it on eBay for profit. is it in the same brand new condition as I shipped it? I don't know.
Thank you all. I finally figured out I could type in the price once I opened the slider thing.
I bought an item that was not as described. The seller mentioned stains but described them as water stains. They were much worse than described and the worst ones weren't shown in the pictures. Tradesy took it back and decided in my favor. I felt they were very fair to me.
I had a buyer claim a bag was fake. It was a brand that doesn't get faked because it is relatively cheap. Tradesy decided it was authentic. I think a lot of buyers use the fake route to try to get their money back rather than a site credit, or they really believe items are fake because they don't know enough about the brand.
I had a weird thing happen today. I was listing an item and it looked like one picture got uploaded 3 times. I deleted 2 of them but when I looked at my listing, the picture was missing. I had to upload it again.
