It is way too drastic! I still haven't gotten the email. Maybe they will revise after they hear how people react. I think if they were to increase it to 10 percent, no one would leave since that would be the same as ebay. They might be able to go as high as 12 percent without losing many sellers. They could also raise the price of their label to $10 to make more, and I doubt anyone would complain.

thank you, I'm really surprised and I just sent them email (chat is gone) asking if they are gonna provide additional services for THAT commission.
Tradesy just received 30M funding in May in round C financing https://www.crunchbase.com/funding-round/aa66c7e09d35a93b06ca441a08f6eee6
what are their investors thinking? obviously Tradesy is underperforming financially but they are not delivering a service. search hasn't been improved since May. frankly, there were no improvements except for labels.their stuff is all the same (average and below when it comes to handling issues or even taking pictures of returned items).

It's been longer than May. The search function is pretty pointless IMO. At least it works on eBay

I agree. Too much of an increase! I haven't gotten the email yet either. Maybe we could be hopeful and think it's one of their ideas they are testing out and will abandon. They've had a few of those lately. I wonder what the best way is to give them direct feedback.

I replied directly to the email they sent about the price increase which I encourage everyone to do. A squeaky wheel gets the oil, so if you're unhappy about the price increase please let them know. I only hope that if trey follow through with it they bring back a lot more of the good promo codes and sales. It's hard enough now as it is to sell an item on their given all the large sellers that have come into the website and hardly any more promo codes and sales.

I did too. and on a side note now Tradesy doesn't sponsor sales for independent sellers, they offer you to opt in at your expense. on the one hand, fee increase to almost 18%, on the other hand, you are excluded from site sales (and traffic respectively) unless you are eager to loose additional 10-20%? ridiculous!

how do other ppl do? what a pain. without 3rd party authentication she can't win anything, she can open it and then what? authenticator won't guide her step by step, they are super busy. it looks like she is not eager to proceed, she just tries to scare you hoping you'll take it back or give her $$ back after she wore shoes for event or something. I report this type of customers on Etsy. like "it will be beneficial for both of us if you give me 50% back and I keep the necklace bec I found a wholesale price on Alibaba, you should price match or I'll return". wholesale is not handmade, how you even compare.
some ppl...

Hm. I haven't gotten this email yet and I've checked my junk and spam. I'll probably get it sometime later today or in the next couple days.

Thankfully I do not have anything really left to sell. I only have one item in my closet for sale and it's not something I desperately need cash for at this time. I've pretty much squeezed out everything in my collection down to the bare essentials. I'm very disappointed, though; I loved using Tradesy for selling items. :sad: I wonder if in time I should just bite the bullet and try my luck on ebay if I choose to go the selling route in the future...
