They need to add some more categories to their conditions then. New with defects, etc. And I have a hard time believing that all of the items for sale are 'gently used' or better condition. I think it's unfair to you because you did add the info in the photos and description.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. New with defects can apply to a lot of items, even sample items that are new but finished less perfectly than the retail version.

This isn't fair. They ask you two questions when you list: 1. Does this item still have the retail tags attached? and 2. Does this item have any signs of wear? So you can sell an item as with tags but still has some kind of wear or defect, like the way people sell shoes that have been tried on in the store or store displays that still have tags but have some marks. As long as you disclosed the zipper pull was missing, I don't see what their problem is. I guess the problem is you didn't put it in the "signs of wear" section?

I didn't see a signs of wear section? I just put it at the very top of the description and wrote "see last photo" where it was an upclose photo

Now I am also wondering about some of the items I have for sale that are "supposed" to be distressed as made. For example, I have some Isabel Marant items that have an unfinished edge, and therefore have a fringe of loose threads at the hem, but that is the way it came new. I have written in my listings that "it is designed to have an unfinished raw edge, as it typical with this brand" but I wonder what would happen if a buyer returned one of these items to Tradesy...
Also, for new or like new bags that are manufactured to be distressed, e.g. some Chanel bags made with distressed (scuffed) leather. Is it enough to disclose this in the text of your listing? Or do you have to list it under the "signs of wear", even though it is not a sign of wear since this is how it was manufactured?

There are 2 Condition boxes to check, and if you check one as NWT, and check the other box as has signs of wear (and then you can enter the specifics)... then your item is listed as 'gently used'

I sell a lot of Rock Revival jeans and often they are distressed, in some cases destroyed LOL.
I add a blurb: "All distressing, rips, tears, frays, fading etc were intentionally done by the manufacturer."
In addition, this is one of the rare instances where I might add a stock photo, in addition to my photos, that shows the distressing especially if it's rips & frays.

same here, I wrote about the last return earlier. I sold the shoes, that were listed "like new", and they were worn once and only bottoms showed light signs of wear. Buyer returned them cause the shoes didn't fit her. My money was released, but then Tradesy took them back (after a WEEK) and wrote me they sent the shoes back cause they are not like new and show some signs of wear.

They told me: Please note that when you sign up for Tradesy, you are agreeing to our terms and conditions. Please see our terms and conditions for reference https://www.tradesy.com/terms/ Under #7 it states "In the event of a replica or misrepresented listing, Tradesy will pull funds from the seller if the seller has already cashed out seller earnings from that sale. Furthermore, you may not list any item on Tradesy (or consummate any transaction that was initiated using our Services) that could cause Tradesy to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or that violates this Agreement."

Wow! Selling on Tradesy is getting more stressful. I think it is best to put gently used.

Oh I did!!

Then the seller messaged me after I asked her why I only got 3 items and she said that all the items didn't fit in the $14 shipping kit (which is just a small polymailer bag) so she is shipping the rest of them today with her own supplies.

She should have told me that the day she shipped them out so I would be aware. I mean, it would have been simple. PLUS, she should have just mailed them all in a box with the shipping label. Why would someone do it like that? Now she has to pay more for shipping. Weird.
