I haven't had a great buying experience recently. I bought this beautiful steal of a deal Louis Vuitton Empriente Bastille PM the other day. I mean, a huge deal! But unfortunately, the seller didn't have a picture of the date code and Tradesy put a hold on confirming the sale until she sends them additional pictures. That's what Tradesy told me when I inquired about the seller not being able to confirm. The seller said she never got the email from tradesy, even though Tradesy said they sent one. Which is weird.

Then the seller tried to call Tradesy last night and they were closed so she said she would try one more time today. She was discouraged because she didn't know it would be so difficult and felt like cancelling the sale. I tried really hard to give her all the information so she can just take a picture and email it to Tradesy, but since she is newbie I think she is confused. ??

I'd be really upset if the sale didn't go through. This is the 5th time I lost out on an authentic purse that was priced lower than normal because a date code wasn't provided in the pictures. It is amazing how many people who have a Louis Vuitton don't know what a date code is or where to find it.

In the pictures, anyone who knows LV, would know it is authentic, but yet Tradesy still wants more proof. And I get it from a business standpoint because of fakes and everything. BUT I bought a multicolor trouville LV the other day and they didn't provide a date code and the sale went through just fine. The only difference is that I paid a lot more. Hmmm makes me wonder if they look into luxury items with a lower price only.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Tradesy asked for additional pictures from a personal email account. No notification of any kind on the TRADESY site. I hope things work out ok for you. 4 hours after I sent additional photos I was able to confirm the sale.

I'm not sure. I've always just included in total price and go to USPS and creat my own label online and print it out.

I used to do it too, but with Tradesy label it's cheaper (especially when I ship bags), easier, insurance is included, signature confirmation included for 500+ items and they take care of everything even if the package is lost or damaged, you don't have to worry about anything

so i went ahead and pulled/removed all my listings just now... i'm not interested in paying their increased commission rate. for those who also did this (or plan to)... are you just going to remove the listings as well, or are you completely cancelling your account??

I started moving mine to ebay a few hours ago. I'll just use my account for buying now.

that makes me think, their auth team is a flob. for different brands there are different details to look at. but when they are authenticating they focus on irrelevant things for this particular brand and skip the key factors. I hope your order goes through eventually. it already took a lot of efforts.
I got a great deal too on Givenchy bag from Abbey R, finally I got email that sale is confirmed.

I just sold a Chanel bag! Yay! I have had so many low ball offers for my beautiful new bag. So happy it sold.
I always use the Tradesy label and love it! However in this case the selling price was over $2500. How do u ladies ship higher value items? How do I get the address? (The item shows as sold but I have not received the sale notification). I hope to ship tomorrow and want to be ready to go!
Thanks for any help you can give me! [emoji171][emoji171][emoji171]

as far as I know these labels are available even for 2500+, aren't they? it used to be so, I remember we discussed it here. Doesn't Tradesy allow you to print the label for this purchase?

I think there was a way around it, but they usually always say:

For now, you will have to ship on your own and pay your own shipping (that is what the self-selected shipping price is for). The work around for the future is to select the Tradesy label option when on the desktop site. The app will not let you choose this option due to being over $2500. I find the app easier to make listings on, so I make my entire listing on the app, then just switch over to the desktop site to select the shipping method.

I plan to pull my listings after 11/30, but will leave acct open. Who knows what the future holds for Tradesy? Maybe they've received so much flak over the commission increase that they'll reconsider... wishful thinking, I know. Hopefully everyone here has sent them an email! :)
