Maybe it was because I didn't have many photos because these items are ready to be confirmed already.

Oh, that's the same Brittany S who said your listing flagged, and never explained why they removed it from sold. my listing had all 12 pics with details for authentication. I think they didn't want to bother for $850.
I think EVERY SELLER ON THIS FORUM should contact them with their views of the increase. Even if they send us canned responses, at least they will get bombarded with complaints. Sure, they may not do anything, but push them to see what the heck they are doing is bs to many, not just a few.
That is very interesting. I have never seen this happen. I have sent them a video when they tried to give me a lie about condition of a brand new Louis Vuitton pouch from a Neverfull, but had to send it like 5 times (not kidding) and sent pictures of my receipt and tags to prove it was authentic and brand new (sold a day after buying it). They didn't want to believe me till I contacted the Better Business Bureau though.
They really just don't want to deal with small sellers and I think it is hilarious TBH because they started their site trying to lure anyone with stuff in their closet that they want to sell for money/credit to buy something else. Now they have become WORSE than eBay IMO.
I think Brittany S has to be a generic name for anyone in Customer Service because that is usually who responds. If not Brittany S puts in some very long hours.
Why was your listing flagged. Did they give you a reason. If they flagged why did they wait to tell you AFTER it sold?
I changed by city to closing on 11/30 - so people can see on my listings that I am done with tradesy - now I just have to remember to actually remove my listings on 12/1
Haha, that's the problem with generic Brittany who responded me yesterday at about 8pm PT when their office is closed. she didn't give any reason, just said now it's restored and when I asked her why and what happened with the sale, the response was "now it's available again".
I am too. I'm bummed that a few days ago I just listed 18 more items. Hopefully I'll sell a few more. I guess on Dec 1 I'll have to transfer what's left to EBay.
I just can't deal with those broke azz low ballers on Poshmark. If I have sell there I'd rather donate it to a charity.
I have a few Tradesy stuff on sale on eBay but none of them are budging. No watchers, just a lot of views. I'm going to move some of these to Lollipuff and see what happens. If not there then......... guess it's local consignment for me. -_-
I sold a designer bag recently and got a very nice message from the buyer saying how much she loved the bag!! That made my day!! Tradesy released my funds four days after she received the bag.
The buyer added that I took great pictures and described every flaw , so no surprises to the buyer. I will have to remove all my stuff before December 1.

Good point, LL777... hadn't even thought of the purchase power of the little guys like us. We sell so we can buy, right? The power sellers on Tradesy are NOT there to buy. So there goes a big chunk of buyers Tradesy has alienated...... I'm gonna cash out my credit there before Nov. 30th and prices go up to make up for their greedy commission hike!
DAMN IT! I freaking hit cancel instead of confirm on my phone for a sale. I contacted my buyer to apologize, but they probably won't want to check out again until they can check their credit card for the refund (Tradesy says canceled sales refund to original payment automatically) Does anyone know if there is anything I can do or do I just need to wait out her credit card processing and hope she's still interested? I e-mailed Tradsey as well, waiting on response.
Ahh Ok..
At least they're not requiring a receipt because like @whateve I don't believe I could come up with many for my items..
No offense but you might want to include more photos- if it's a lux item, all the pics they listed are best. There's at least 6 points I reference for doing Bal-
I doubt 3 photos would be enough to authenticate any designer bag. Just MHO though.
The more photos you provide the better you protect yourself.
I'm glad I didn't sift through 100's of receipts. I sent her the email confirmation of payment from the store as "proof of purchase" and I sent lots of photos.
4 hours later Brittany S from Tradesy trust sent an email that said my handbag has been authenticated and I should receive a confirmation email soon so I can ship it.
I'll be sure to post lots of detailed photos from now on
Thanks everyone for your help! You guys are Awesome!
when great discounts are rolling over for pre-sales and early black friday, and I get all these pre-views and vip offers, I have to reconsider my buying behavior. it used to be like oh I'll get it and if it doesn't really work for me in terms of style or color I'll put it on sale right away as NWT so I don't need to deal with returns and lose money on custom fees. it was not easy to sell on Tradesy but it was working for me given that I put lots of efforts in photography, descriptions and promotion of my listings in social media (I'm not sure if I got much traffic from horrible Tradesy search). now I just get into conservative buying mode, because with high fees on Tradesy I can't offer competitive prices any more. I'll either keep it or return to retailers.
as for current stock I'll split it. NWT I can wear myself and then send to consignees. Old stuff that takes place in my closet will go to cosigners right away. Any collectible pieces like limited editions and rare colors will go to eBay.
I remember that was original Tradesy idea to buy, to sell, to get something new. Now this concept is gone. they became eBay with almost double fees and inferior platform.
