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...:heart:

Oops, sorry same as this post. I always check at the end of the next shipping day to make sure it was scanned and most of the time it is not uploaded to Tradesy's site until I personally contact Tradesy and then they update it.

I've never had that happen. I know sometimes it takes 24 hours to appear, but it usually does before that. The seller said she is going to call Tradesy and let me know what they say. I would be more concerned if I were the seller because she can't get her money till it's delivered! At least I'm an honest person and would let someone know I got the item, but you never know who you are selling to these days.

But I always keep my receipts from shipments and I always check the status of shipment to make sure it went through.

Did a lot of checking & so far just yours but...
I think it might be a glitch or updating- I looked at the sellers closet & all of their other sold listings are showing up..
It's strange- Did they confirm the sale?

Ugh. That's what is even more concerning. Why just one listing? Did the seller do something?

Yea, she confirmed it and she got the shipping kit from Tradesy so it definitely went through. I noticed the picture wasn't there anymore the day after I purchased it (which was last Wednesday), but it didn't phase me. I knew Tradesy was doing updates and I figured it would be fixed.

I just tried yoogis closet to list a speedy b 30 in de. It's been used only 3x with a samorga organizer and purchased this year. The lock and keys are still wrapped! Never been taken out of the dust bag. Comes with original everything and they offered me $700!!! I almost died!!! I know I can't get full retail but damn. That's just crazy!

Oh yeah, try to sell it yourself, don't even take that offer! You can easily sell yours for more than that on Tradesy and get good money off it! There will always be people looking for speedys and neverfulls, so you shouldn't have an issue at all.

I tried to sell my damier petit bucket to Fashionphile. It had a pouch and I had the straps replaced by LV. It was really in excellent condition; if it weren't for the minor rubs on the bottom (which you had to look really closely for) and the tarnished hardware (which could easily be polished, but I didn't want to touch it), I would say it was almost new. Fashionphile offered a measly $225. The reason why I was so insulted with the offer was because they had several other petit buckets at the same price ($450), but they were in far worse condition.

I get that consignments need to make money, too, but to price my item for the same price as your other items that are in relatively bad shape? I don't think so! :yucky: I ended up sending it to Yoogi's and they gave me a better buyout quote (although that was probably the only time they gave me a high price quote since they tend to run on the low end, lol).

The problem with my package was that it wasn't even updated on the USPS side until 2 days later. I was really worried because I am a small-time seller and I didn't want my Tradesy account to be jeopordized as I was also doing another transaction with a different buyer. Luckily she was super nice and everything went through flawlessly in the end. *whew*

I never had any issues with my drop off location but after that experience, I'm just going to walk the extra 30-45 minutes to the post office.

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.

I don't think I'll ever use Poshmark. We authenticated for someone who purchased a fake on Poshmark and Poshmark refused to refund their money. They insisted there was no proof it was fake even though it was very obvious.

Not only was it obvious that it was fake but after deeming it authentic, they "humored" her by promising to authenticate it in person. Even after sending it in, she was told it's authentic.

No way! I just bought inexpensive bag but I'll steer clear.

I sent 10 items to Realreal, all NWT. they priced it like 10-20% of original price, then did sale on top of sale on that and took 30% commission. guess how much I got for NWT Chloe laced skirt that retailed $1500-1600? $60!!!! all the same for 9 other items. I told myself, OK it was charity for these 10, but no more selling there. and yet I'm surprised they keep sending me worn, overwashed, smelly clothes and scuffed shoes as it's "minor wear".
consignments may be a great place to buy IF you are lucky and it's as described, not to sell.

Yuck, that is horrible! I have heard some not so good things about the Realreal, so your experience (with both consigning and buying) are not surprising. I would never buy from them; so far everything I have seen on their site is too worn and overpriced.

I've had a couple decent offers with Fashionphile and Yoogi's, so I won't write them off entirely. It is just these recent offers have been horrible, especially since Fashionphile was pricing my things in line with their poor condition items.

Thankfully I don't have anything to sell in my closet for the time being, although I kinda wish I did. :lol: My Tradesy transactions have been lovely!

I definitely won't give it to them for that price but I'm having a hard time locating a place to sell it. I don't belong to any social media except TPF which I'm still new to. I'm very weary about selling it on eBay as I've read a lot of horror stories about buying and selling when it comes to high end designer items.
