Lucky. I had no luck selling anything. Well, I took 3 of my listings down, sent 1 of those items to consignment, and the other to ebay. I doubt it'll sell, though.
I am keeping my 3rd item for now, I forgot to take it with me to consignment but I plan on giving it to my mom. Bummer.I'm sorry to hear that. Don't get discouraged, you never know what buyers are looking for.Lucky. I had no luck selling anything.

Don't feel bad. I wasn't able to sell my last item in my closet. I'm still keeping it on there, but only because I really have nothing to lose (it has poor resale value, anyway). I feel like whoever buys it won't be likely to return it since I've priced it very low. If I feel super desperate, I'll take it to a consignment.Lucky. I had no luck selling anything.

I am no longer going to sell high ticket items on there, though. My Tradesy will only be up for selling low risk stuff, much like how I treat my Poshmark account (which is basically an app version of Craigslist it seems).
I don't have much choice and can't lose Tradesy as it's my business and sales are going good there in common, sometimes same like on eBay and sometimes even much better. I'm raising prices for new items and keeping my old listings the way they are. But I will not accept any offers since now, as I used to do sometimes when I had reasonable ones.
They ended up cancelling it.
Don't feel too bad, I had that bag a couple of years ago and sold it because it is way too small to be functional as any kind of tote but it looks goofy as a purse
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!
I am removing my listings and leaving my account in case they wise up, but won't hold my breath!
Just added "CLOSING AFTER NOVEMBER 30TH DUE TO TRADESY INCREASED COMMISSIONS, IMPOSED ONLY ON SMALL SELLERS" to my closet right now and will leave that up.
No way. did they provide you any reason for that? I heard crickets since I contacted Tradesy on weekend with a screenshot of my authenticity report. I guess they don't want to hear that.They ended up cancelling it.
BTW I wonder why they do pre-sale authenticaion by pictures now? while they are overwhelmed with returns and don't want to deal with actual bag, something maybe going on with their auth team, like they don't have qualified ppl left on the spot.
I already posted the most thought-after bags on eBay (and so it began, watchers, lowballers...). I'm going to put my Tradesy shop on vacation at midnight and sort out my listings in the next couple of days. I will increase price for designer bags and shoes, and will post them at old price on eBay. a lot of buyers know how to locate an item at lower price LOL. also I'll send some stuff to consignors.
But I wonder if keeping the same main picture and description on eBay and Tradesy will negatively affect Google search? I heard they will brush off any duplicates, so it maybe wise to alter main pic, title and opening line of description when reposting elsewhere/

I like "imposed only on small sellers", I'm gonna borrow it
They did not give me a reason and ignored my email. Very disappointing. What is crazy is a found a fake on one of their closets! And I see fakes all the time, but yet they can't distinguish between the two.
Good idea about putting your closet on vacation, I want to do that too!

Inside I want to close my account because of the close to consignment fees for sellers selling their own stuff. I would only sell on a platform that enables me to earn what I want for my item. However, I might want to buy something, so for now I am using my account for only buying. I am happy Tradesy for the time I needed their service for selling helped me reconstruct my purse collection to enjoy for years to come. I am looking forward to keeping most of my bags or giving them to my mother to enjoy. There is a lot of work, sometimes stress, and money loss that goes into selling handbags. So, I am not interested in the sale and buy cycle.

I bet you will sell the bag elsewhere, and maybe even for a better price. I saw fakes of the same brand too, they are still there.
