I just listed my first item on tradsey. I've been selling on Posh for years and have done pretty well but I'm getting tired of the low balling culture and want to see if this site is any different.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Lately there have been a lot of low ballers...for me anyway but I still prefer Tradesy to sell over Poshmark or Ebay. Good luck!
Ugggh I now see why sellers overprice items on Tradesy. The same person has messaged me 3 times with offers of $125-$150 on a brand new $350 item that I already priced 20% below retail.
I usually try to price my items at my lowest in hopes of a quick sell but no matter how low I go someone will ask for more than half off again. I hate playing games but I'll start listing my items higher to accommodate the low ballers.

Sadly, I think they have or plan to get rid of the brand sales. Tradesy used to have each brand on sale about every month, the company absorbing the 10%. Now it seems as if the only sales will be if seller agrees to participate and absorb the discount themselves. Also, when they have had coupons lately they are 200 off 1500 instead of 200 off of 1000. I didn't think the great sales could last but they were wonderful, for both buyer and seller, while it lasted. I think many buyers watch items until there are sales. Fingers crossed there will be some promos during the holidays.
I had no sales in October and 3 sales so far in the last 2 days!
Two Chanel and 1 LV.
I hope things are turning around!
Still lowball offers though
Yes! I just sold my first item but I barely wore it and it had tags. It was really easy hang in there!
it's been super slow for me on tradesy. i sold three chanels and a gucci on ebay, all over the long weekend. i sold one LV two weeks ago on tradesy. i'm not verified by tradesy, but they only held the funds one extra day this time. although ebay has issues i am starting to just like that site more. especially if i'm selling 2K+ items... i like being paid immediately and not waiting on a tradesy buyer to maybe return the bag and hold up funds. the tradesy money/payment system is bothering me more and more. i'm almost relived when a high ticket bag sells via ebay and i can remove it from tradesy, i think that says a lot about which site i prefer. and we just had a long shopping weekend with no coupons on tradesy. bummer for shoppers and sellers.
Sold 2 items today! My drought is finally over!
Question;
I buy & sell on Tradesy and I have not heard that they have a system in place for a buyer to "confirm delivery" of their order so that the seller's funds can be released quicker.
Is that true?
Short synopsis: I bought a jacket, seller didn't get it shipped out for more than 2 weeks. I was ok with it, wasn't in a hurry.
They said they either lost or didn't receive the shipping kit- ok fine. She did communicate with me so no worries.
After the Holiday weekend, I don't have PO hours on Saturdays that's 3 days without mail, today is Monday, my mail comes at 3 pm so I will get a notice to pick up the package today (I suppose).
Seller is already messaging me, asking me to confirm the delivery so they can get their funds??
#1, I didn't know Tradesy did that. That's a Poshmark thing
#2. I have been extremely patient, didn't bug her about the long wait but now I feel it's rather pushy to start hassling me before I even get the notice to pick up at the PO. Sheesh!
My purchase date was Oct. 27th-

What I've read on here is that if you mention in a message to her that you received it and are happy with it, she can call Tradesy and get her funds released earlier. I've never done it. As far as I know, there isn't an automated way for this to happen.
She sure has nerve to bug you about it after taking so long to ship.
I became verified by going into my account & payment options.
I added a bank account & my PP- it says I'm verified so I believe it's that simple.
Thank you Whateve!
I haven't ever been in that big of a hurry- it's only $100 purchase.
At least now I know- she just kept saying accept the delivery- and I can't see any place to do that.
And, Yea- I thought it was quite over the top to bug me about it- such is life..
If I can find a way to rate the sale, I will but that usually shows up a few days later..
Oh well.,
THANKS
