Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I have a question to you ladies and gentlemen. I'm confused because I'm trying to figure out how it's possible that some reputable sellers sell absolutely new LV handbags and accessories for the retail price. I don't understand where they get new same bags over over again and how they make profit by selling them at the retail price.
Someone brought it before on this thread and there were several explanations. I can only come up with one, if the seller takes advantage of exchange rates in different countries. but it's a stretch already given that she needs to pay shipping/transportation fees, Tradesy fees and possibly export/custom fees. maybe they are stolen bags? bags that factory workers sell? maybe but I'm 90% positive lots of brand new LVs are fakes.
 
so anyway I just wanted to share. and warn others that we can't be sure it's all set even when case is closed, Tradesy can change their mind in days or weeks and come back to your return case. such a mess:sad:

I was also thinking they changed their decision when preparing to repost the shoes in their closet. maybe they took closer look and decided that smth is not good with them. cause I'm pretty sure the buyer returned them for a "good" reason. when it's SNAD, I always have letter from Tradesy. and I didn't have it about those return. or maybe they just made a mistake and will answer me apologizing and will return the money lol. miracles happen, right?
I hope they do the right thing by you. It isn't fair to release your money and then take it back. The best thing about Tradesy is that once your money is released, you don't have to worry about a chargeback, like you do on other sites. I hope that remains the case. I hope they come to their senses.

thank you so much:heart:
we'll see what they answer
they usually ship the item back so fast, that when I get the answer, the package may be on the way lol
but I still hope we'll figure it out and it's some kind of mistake

I hope Tradesy will hear you. It depends who is dealing with it, you know there are more experienced team members than others. I believe they take into consideration seller's reputation and selling history and buyer's buying history (and selling if she's also a seller).

This is very true.

I had a customer try to polish my Chanel earrings (there was some tarnish on it and I fully disclosed that) and while she was doing it a rhinestone fell off and she filed for a return.

Tradesy said they were going to send it back to me unless I had some evidence that I didn't ship the earrings out this way. I immediately sent them my video of me packaging the item up- rhinestones were definitely all intact. But it took Tradesy CS 3 days to get back to me, and during one of those days, someone from Tradesy return had shipped the item back to me. I got the item back before their response, wrote them a pretty angry email and when they finally got back to me, they agreed to take the item back and released my funds. Be persistent if you know you're in the right!
 
Omg, I just went through this the other day! Was offered a lowball price, I generously discounted, then buyer wanted another discount. A million questions AFTER purchasing that could be answered from just reading the listing. Thank goodness the sale fell through...dodged a bullet!

These are exactly the people you want to avoid. Yuck. They are the ones who will throw fits later and ruin your bag. No thank you!!!

has anyone here experienced a refused package from a buyer? this would be a first for me. the package is on its way back to Tradesy HQ since I used their shipping label. there's been no communication with the buyer whatsoever, the only message was from me when I informed them that the item was shipped and provided tracking numbers. any idea as to what happens next?
