Yes I like to do it from my computer too because that's where all my photos are uploaded to.

Posh is mainly app-centered. You have to do everything on mobile. The only thing I can do on desktop is share during their "parties" and purchase things. Everything else you'll have to do on your phone. I wouldn't recommend Posh for high-end designer items. I mainly sell relatively cheap things (i.e. old clothes that I need to get rid of) and those seem to move well without having to deal with low-ballers. The low ballers only come after designer items- where they want your 4k handbag but in return will trade you for their Coach handbags etc... (not that I have anything against Coach, but that's the type of trade value or 'negotiation' you should expect from Posh).
thanks a lot for detailed info, well then posh is not my option, as I only sell high-end designer ones. and I've seen many times how people leave there lots of low ball offers / improper comments under LV bags for example. that would bother be a lot if I had so many annoying comments every day
Agreed - the customer service team are turning into ebay type idiots - clueless. I have to ask the same thing at least twice and spell out everything before they even understand an issue. The search people should have been replaced a long time ago. They got MILLIONS of dollars in investor money and what did they do with it? Bought shop hers - loading the platform with ebay like sellers - fakes & frauds and HUGE massive retailers that sell nothing unique or special that is clogging up the searches. I get disgusted trying to find something with thousands of these mass produced items popping up - especially the jewelry everywhere. And now even if they can find my stuff - I doubt they're going to want to buy it at the prices I'm going to have to sell them for because if Tradesy is raising their price to me 5%, I have to raise it 10% to them to make it worth my while to bother selling. All my prices are rock bottom but that's going to change.
pls let us know if you find some that really works like eBay or Tradesy
Honestly, I've had really good luck selling on Facebook groups. Just always use Paypal and NEVER use Friends & Family for payment.
I only do Poshmark if it's items I really don't care about; people low-ball there all the time. Otherwise, if it's something high ticket like LV or Chanel, it is not worth it.
I can't think of any other places I've sold to lately...I did sell on Craigslist last year, but my last experience was so bad I refuse to sell there again. Not because I was scammed (I always take proper precautions when I did this), but my buyer was extremely annoying and rude. Other buyers I've dealt with were nothing but nice and pleasant to deal with.
Thank you. I'll have a problem with that app then because I don't use a smartphone but all I sell are old vintage clothes so that is actually my people. If its the same commission now as Tradesy - I might as well try them because frankly, If I sell one item every 3 or 4 months on Tradesy - its a lot.
USPS did, or will very soon. it hasn't been widely announced but USPS rates are going up again. they might have already
Can you explain more about facebook groups? I don't even know where to find it. I'm on facebook but I don't see anything to sell from.
I know this was discussed before, but this is exactly the reason why I have never bought anything off Tradesy. Their search engine is horrendous!
Also, if you are looking for anything that isn't Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or *insert well-known, premier brand here*, good luck with finding it. The only reason why I've been able to find certain items on Tradesy is because I use google to type in the brand name and add "tradesy"...then voila, google lists the items I'm looking for without clogging it up with other items that aren't even relevant to what I am looking for!
they're private groups, i believe... at least all the ones i am in you have to be approved and i've found them through friends and referrals only. they don't all let you sell though - there are restrictions on how many posts you have to have, how long you've been a member before selling, etc. it's not like you can just join in and start posting your stuff. at least from my experience in the groups i'm in. others might be different and operate differently. i'm in some lv and chanel groups.
It's kinda tricky, but if you type in the brand name (for example Coach) in the Facebook search and then narrow it down to Group results (which should be under the tabs), you should be able to pull up several selling groups.
Also, try doing a search like this: [Brand name] Buy Sell Chat
You should be able to pop up something
I'm going to look around facebook now and see what I can find. Also trying to get more information on Dresslink.
By the way - I so love that when something like this happens - I have my peeps here to discuss this stuff with, vent and search for suggestions. Thanks everyone. So much better then stewing all alone - LOL!
I still haven't gotten this email but in any case I am obviously unhappy with the change. I usually go with consignment if I get a quotes that are even a bit less than the Tradesy payout simply because it's hassle-free. This might have gone over easier if Tradesy had made some positive changes and proven themselves worthy of a raise. As it stands their service is not worth the higher price.
Someone who is a business seller on another forum im in just posted this. I guess the discount increase doesnt apply to business sellers.
if you go on the Tradesy for business website it seems like you don't have to sell too much to apply.
