Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate
links, including eBay, Amazon, and others

I did get the email, to which i'll respond with my thoughts.
Maybe if they already had some of the proposed 'improvements' in place, I could see increasing the % a bit, but not right now!
Oh, and thank you for the 'freedom to set your own listing price' lol

I think I just got an updated version of their email that explains how they are gonna spend these money, maybe in response to our questions.
they are going to improve search! for real.
I think their 100-person team that they obviously need to feed is the big problem. it should be 50 but qualified ones.

I just got that too. Well, I hope I sell my stuff before and then I'm done! That's a little high.

That was the first and only email I got from them yesterday when they told me they're raising commissions. Bunch of BS IMO
 
Is anyone else surprised that they only have 100 employees?!
Does that include stockroom people? That is hard to imagine.
That's why their pictures suck. If they did it right and gave two hoots about their inventory, they'd sell more. They could hire professionals who handle pictures and descriptions and be better off than hiring amateurs to do it. Probably afford to hire less people if they got a few professionals.

I still haven't received the email. :hrmm:

It's TOO HIGH! For the service offered it's just TOO HIGH!
Nov. 30th at 11pm I end ALL my listings that are left.. I will NOT pay that- that's bordering on consignment or buyout fees IMHO.

Back to eBay with my high dollar listings- SIGH I'd rather take my chances there at 10%.
