Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

[SweetDaisy05]

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.

I cannot share it for privacy reasons right now. I should have not vented on the internet unless I could tell the whole story. I had so much emotions in me that I really wanted to share. I just did not realize how important it was to wait before sharing anything on this situation. If you guys knew my situation, I know that you would understand and more than likely would do the same. I really hope everybody is doing well. I will see you guys later on other Tradesy matters. Have a nice day y'all!

Tradesy has done that before. Tradesy makes frequently changes to how things are sold on their site. I assume it is research.

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.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe I haven't looked hard enough on this thread or this board, but I haven't read about anyone sold a fake on Tradesy AND have Tradesy side with the seller. I'm now guessing that these people are bitter that it's not like eBay where they will most likely get their money back any time they file a claim.

I bought a Louis Vuitton bag from a fairly new seller and she said she shipped the bag Sunday with the $35 shipping kit that Tradesy provides and that I paid for. She messaged me on Sunday to let me know she got the shipping kit and was shipping the purse that day.

I never got an alert that it shipped on Sunday or Monday, so today I go into my purchases and it says "seller confirmed," but it doesn't say it shipped yet.

So I messaged the seller and she told me that she did ship the bag on Sunday, but lost the receipt with the tracking number. I told her that with the shipping kit provided from Tradesy it has the tracking number already programmed in the system and should be listed in her "sales". She doesn't have to enter it like you do when you use your own shipping materials to sell an item. She said she couldn't find it in her sales.

I also am familiar with the process of shipping and once the USPS scans and accepts the package, it will send me a message that my item shipped. I told her that on my end it doesn't show it shipped.

I just feel weird about the situation. Why can't she look in her sales and pull the tracking number listed? It' so easy and I tried to explain it to her and she doesn't get it. I feel like I just walked into a scam.

She did sell 3 other things and I'm curious to see what happens, but why wouldn't you keep the receipt? And USPS is opened on a Sunday?? Sounds weird to me. Things are NOT adding up.

Another weird thing!! I go to her "closet" and look at items sold and the item I bought does not show up. It doesn't display a picture and doesn't display the price it sold for. When I go to click on it, it takes me to Tradesy's home page. Her other items that sold don't do that.

Well firstly to my knowledge all USPS locations nationwide are closed on Sundays. So the only way she could have possibly mailed the bag would be to put it in a drop box.

To be fair I've put items in drop boxes and sometimes it doesn't even "scan" until it reaches a sort facility. I've also have items that i've mailed across the country and they weren't scanned until they reached the sort facility it the receivers state...... which was literally 4 days after I dropped it off in my case. I would wait until tomorrow end of day before being concerned. She may have a lazy post office like mine that doesn't scan.

That's really weird. Maybe she used a third party drop off site that takes in USPS shipments? Not to sound too optimistic, but I have a drop off location that ships UPS/FedEx/USPS at my work and I've used it to drop off packages for my Poshmark and Tradesy transactions. The scan when it gets picked up doesn't appear until later in the evening.

Unfortunately, one of my Tradesy packages didn't get scanned and shipped until 2 days later. I think what happened was that my package was either picked up by the wrong courier/truck or it somehow got misplaced and was never picked up on the day it was supposed to. Luckily my buyer was super nice about it, but I was seriously sh*tting bricks. I did give my customer the tracking number, though; I'm not sure why your seller doesn't know where the tracking number is because it should say so in her account like you said.

Crossing my fingers for you...

Firstly, I don't think anyone would publicly admit they sold a fake to someone and got away with it. Ya know? :-p

As a buyer, I would be very bitter if someone sold me a fake and then Tradesy sided with them, but I don't think that could happen. I sold an LV Speedy 25 once that was 10 years old and the buyer thought it was fake and she sent it into Tradesy for them to check and Tradesy sided with me because it was deemed authentic. I know it was authentic, I don't sell fakes!! But in that situation, the buyer must've been ticked because she didn't think it was real and she could've been one of the many people who have bad things to say about Tradesy. Even though she was wrong. People are ignorant when it comes to buying luxury items. Do your research. (I don't mean that directly towards you, but the people who are buying luxury and don't know what they are buying)

That makes me feel better, but she told me she got a receipt from USPS, so she had to have dropped it off somewhere.

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*

I had only good experience on Tradesy as a buyer. I didn't buy a lot, but all my 4-5 orders were good. I bought several pairs of brand new shoes and they were in such condition. I bought a used bag, seller was out for some time but eventually it arrived in good condition and it was fairly priced for that condition. If I compare Tradesy with other platforms it's easy to shop and should be easy to do returns.
My pet peeve with eBay and RealReal are SNAD (80% of my orders from RealReal arrive in far worse condition than described and I return them). same is true on eBay, also what's with the multiple sellers who don't have items, who are out of the country and don't ship anything after taking my money etc.
I just placed my first order on Poshmark, I can't compare my experience with them yet. but site looks quite messy and it's too time consuming (following, commenting).
I found great things on Vestiaire Collective but once you have SNAD with them it's a nightmare to get refund (I had to file claim and deal with custom fees).
Yoogi's closet mostly good but also I got badly damaged bag from them that was supposed to be in excellent condition (hole in the corner covered with nail polish, anybody?) LOL
So far Tradesy and Fashionphile are the best IMO.

.

Oh no, I meant I haven't read anyone on here who bought a fake, submitted it to Tradesy, and have Tradesy side with the seller. It's all these reviews outside TPF from bitter buyers who state that they were sold fakes. I'm not sure if they're lying and have buyer's remorse or they're just uninformed.

Although if someone here has been sold a fake and Tradesy didn't side with them, I'd like to know.

I'd expect that from Poshmark, not Tradesy. Sorry if I wasn't clear!

Are you able to see the item when you click on 'View All' of the sold items?

I'm so sorry- what a mess..
I do have to say that there are a few USPS locations that are indeed open on Sunday.
We have one about an hour & a half from here- It's the HUB at the Airport.
I rarely use it- only in emergencies but they are open on Sundays. They used to be open 24 hours, 7 days a week but they changed that a few years ago.

I hope you get this worked out and that you get your bag! I will say that newbie sellers can sometimes have a lot of issues but some of my VERY BEST deals have come from new sellers. Fingers Crossed for you.

oooooooooh. I get it... haha.

I don't think it happens to be honest. I think people just think the item was fake because they don't know about the brand, A lot of people don't even know what a date code on a LV means or where to find it.

Like in my scenario, where the buyer thought my purse was fake, but it wasn't.
