weird. maybe they are protecting you somehow from fraud sellers? they'd obviously know more about the sellers... like if they are listing authentic but shipping fakes, if they have many returns, if they are shipping from overseas, or whatever. they wouldn't tell you the truth in an email so the response is prolly canned. i wouldn't interact w/the seller... there must be a reason their items are flagged
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I think all of their responses are canned - I am so disappointed with them right now. They absolutely refused to listen to me when I told them my item had no odor when it was shipped. They said they are standing by their decision and are returning my purse to me. The buyer was new to Tradesy and said that she had really bad allergies. She asked after the fact if my bag was smoke and pet free, which it was. I sent her a message but of course she didn't reply. I even asked them what the heck is a "sitting odor"? This was practically a brand new bag - used just 2x. I just hope my bag is in the same condition it was when I sent it.
It's weird. I don't think it's about you, it's about seller who might have been flagged for something. Tradesy should be happy to have as many sales as possible and scoop their fees for each.
Question, I ordered some things from Tradesy and I need to return two items. Could I ship together with one shipping label in one box? Both items were poorly packaged and I have to go buy a box now to repackage them. Has anyone ever done that? I would put the return label on the other item inside the box so they can pull it up. I emailed Tradesy to see if they can work something out, saves them a label. But I wanted to see if anyone has done that.
The seller told me they requested a picture of the date code and once she does, they will let her confirm it. I've bought other things that didn't have a date code so unsure why this is the first time.
Was wondering if anyone has had any problems with freight forwarding services in Florida? Someone purchased an item from me this evening and when I went to print the shipping label, I noticed that the address was formated strangely but when I went to check online, I was able to find the address and USPS seemed to be able to identify it. The address is written a little bit differently than it technically should be but not so much that I would think USPS wouldn't be able to deliver it. Should I bother trying to get Tradesy to change it or if it is undeliverable, won't it be sent "back" to Tradesy and I will still receive funds?
If/when it is received, does anyone know how long will I be waiting for funds? Since it seems to be a freight forwarder not used by Tradesy, it should be after the "buyer" (in this case, the freight forwarding service) receives the package, correct?

Hi. Oddly enough I sold three items so far within the last three weeks to the freight forwarding company. They all odd formatting but I think it is standard and all items were delivered just fine. My funds were released four days after being delivered to the Florida address. Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Good to know that even with the address being formatted strangely, it still arrived since its not very easy to change a shipping address on Tradesy.
I just want to add that there have been cases where when printing a shipping label, I've had to edit the Paypal shipping information slightly in order to get the label to process.
When a buyer submits their shipping info, it goes in just as submitted. PP doesn't verify that it's in "acceptable" USPS format nor that the member may not have made a typo. So in some (rare) cases, I get a pop-up telling me that there's a problem with the address.
For example, I've had some of the following, easy fixes and although I've never had a dispute because of the changes I was required to make, I have no doubt an explanation and paypal's confirmation that the alteration was required in order for the label to process.

- Buyer listed her address as "Apartment 1" and USPS needed it to be "Apt 1"
- Buyer put her apartment or suite number on the same line as the street address and the apartment number had to be on the second line of the address field
- USPS assigned a new zip code to the delivery address. (This is common!) Address and city remain the same but zip needs editing
- Buyer's name, title, etc. have too many characters to fit on the name line. Abbreviating the name, title, or eliminating part of it without changing who the item goes to is necessary in order to address the label.
On etsy, they show you the approved USPS address and give you a choice whether you want to change to the USPS version or keep the address as inputted by the buyer. They are usually minor changes like you describe, and I've always gone with the USPS approved address.
Hi all. For everyone who was upset by their photos being relisted when the items were reposted into the tradesy closets (like Abbey R) It looks like they are starting the process of taking their own pictures... lol - I just noticed that two items that were returned to them last month for I guess tradesy credit were relisted. The photos that are up at kind of like yoogis closet style but less professional lollll.
I'm upset in both cases, either it's sold listing from my closet relisted by Tradesy closet with more damage (??) and my original pics or when they retook pics, and yes, there's obviously more damage there, but still the buyer can track it to my closet and they are selling for my original price. Both are not right IMO.
Hi! I listed several items 2 weeks ago and the pictures are still not cleared. I even asked Tradesy last week what's going on, they said the pictures will be done till the end of the week. Now the new week is about to end and still no changes. Is it common problem for now, or is it just lucky me?
I think you are just "lucky!" I've been putting up one or two items a day for the last week or so and everything has been cleaned within a day.Hi!

Edit: I take that back. I have one item that hasn't been cleaned and it was put up at least a week ago. I think they favor certain categories and certain brands. The item that wasn't cleaned is a cosmetic bag from an off-brand.
I have 9 items that are non cleaned, and CL, LV, Bottega, YSL, Chanel are among them - I believe these brands are favored the most, so it's not about brands. Their designers maybe missed them and don't hurry to come back for them
on the one hand it's ok, they look like I've just listed them and it might attract someone to grab them before someone else did lol. but on the other - they look so pretty with pictures cleaned
I remember one girl on Tradesy even accused me that I am just using stock pictures in my listings. well, I accepted it as a compliment to my photographer's skills
