It makes me even more unhappy that the % increase is only for regular sellers and not the business sellers. (no offense to any business sellers here) So only the small time sellers will help fund their 'improvements' which all sellers should benefit from?
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I forgot to add Yoogiscloset to the list of cosigners (they give quote, you either sell to them or consign with them, great search and traffic, they take care of everything) .

This is a wonderful summary. Thank you for taking the time to post it.
Have you sold on VC? When I was selling on there early this year traffic was VERY slow...
Yeah, I don't agree with just sticking it to the small sellers that are the everyday people selling from their closet like many of us on this thread. I am done with selling but never say never. I agree that businesses do have the right to increase their prices. I just don't buy into the increase fee either, and I am not interested in paying it unless the buyers will
. I don't think it should go higher than EBay or just slightly unless they want to be a consignment business. Like you said, there comes a point when consignment looks good when one is already taking a huge loss. I'm not a consignment person. When the loss breaks my threshold, I keep. I would have never gave Tradesy a try with the new fees. This new fee is probably paying for the returns. I also don't buy into the increase fee to better my shopping and selling experiences. Businesses raise fees to enhance their bottom line. It is not about me.

not now, a couple of years ago. when a new hot item like Chanel Boy was listed it got up to 50 likes and often it was sold on the same day.
Regarding the Tradesy commission increase, I sent them an email expressing my displeasure and also my intent to go back to selling on eBay. And to find out here on TPF that only small sellers, not large business sellers, will absorb this increase?? What an outrage. I encourage all small sellers to send Tradesy a note with your opinion of the commission increase.
I received this email yesterday. I sold only two or three things there a couple of years ago, but was just about to list a couple of pricey items. I trust them more on an expensive items than I do eBay. Now I'm unsure what to do.
Here is the reply I received to my email to Tradesy telling them no thanks to commission increase:
"Thank you for your feedback, we do appreciate you selling with Tradesy, and can of course understand why you’re unhappy with the commission change. We know it’s never fun to pay more, but we’re confident that this adjustment will best serve our sellers and our business in the long run. We’re committed to ensuring that this increase pays for itself with a better selling experience and more sales for you. Please let me know if you have any further feedback as we implement this change - the Tradesy team is listening and values your opinion!"

Has anyone had issues with the Tradesy labels lately? I used a Tradesy label and my buyer (six days later) has not received the packaged. The tracking twice has shown the package is delayed in transit. Also, a few weeks ago, I sent a return to Tradesy (using the free return label) and it took 10 days for the package to arrive and be signed for at Tradesy? I am not sure I will use them again as the delay in my buyer's package is very disappointing. My buyer is being patient but if I had just used a usps label she would have had the package in 3 days. I hope it makes it to her safe.
You sure it's not USPS issue? Tradesy label is just that, a piece of paper with tracking info it's not as if USPS puts them on a different truck or routing system. Ppl have complained that sometimes Tradesy tracking doesn't come out clear or has to be scanned a couple times before it gets registered but once it's in the system the rest of its movement is up to USPS.

I just sent Tradesy another email asking why they are raising commissions on small sellers and not large sellers... has anyone used the site Mercari to sell designer bags?
The Tradsey label is a usps label, same thing as if you had shipped it using your own label. The issue is usps itself, I've had packages taking several days longer than they should to be delivered .
I changed a bunch of my prices about a week ago. Today I noticed that on my main page, the prices are still the old ones. When you click on the listing, the correct price shows. That isn't going to help me make sales!!!
LMAO, I was just coming to share the pre-scripted response I got to my feedback as well:

What a JOKE- they aren't listening and don't value anyone's opinion!
I sent another email asking the same thing. I am sure we will get pre-scripted generic responses again. They don't care about the small sellers at all.
