+1. I doubt I will sell on Tradesy again, which is too bad since I thought they had a lot of potential. I know they won't miss small sellers like myself as I only sold 50+ items☹️ I really miss Shop Hers.....

Shop hers was great to sell on. I sold 2 pairs of diamond earrings, and fine jewelry is almost impossible to sell on any platform available now. I also sold some Chanel RTW and bags and for prices much higher than on any other site. I think the clientele was different on that site. Towards the end, they also had an influx of lower quality items from big professional sellers though, bagriculture etc.
However, that site was horrible to buy from. I bought a Chanel bag that had limited photos but showed a photo that either showed darkening of the chain or just bad lighting. I asked the seller on the comments of the listing whether there was any darkening or tarnishing on the chain. The seller responded that there was none at all. When I got the bag there was color transfer all over the leather and the chain was severely tarnished everywhere. I sent a message to shop hers asking for a refund because of this and they told me that they only check for authenticity and the condition status listed (new vs preowned), and that they do not take the comments into account. They were more similar to Vestiaire than Tradesy in that way; they checked every item for authenticity but you were never sure what you will get condition wise.

just tried to find it on Tradesy and take a closer look. I used diff words / search methods. Not even close lol
Their searching engine is still the worst thing ever:biggrin:

Yea their search engine sucks! It's because this seller doesn't name the bag properly also. I don't think it is real, but she says it is. I can't find a Vernis print in leopard. Not in an Alma.

It's funny how Tradesy promoted that customer service would be better and things would be easier, but now every email I send out to them takes over 24 hours to respond to. Their search engine still sucks and there haven't been any sales that are actually worth something. Lies.

Oh and another thing, Tradesy needs to let new sellers know that sometimes a sale happens and they get NO notification. (I don't get any anymore and I don't get any shipment notifications either). The seller thinks it's a glitch and they repost an item that has already been bought, but little do they know it is just being verified, either payment wise or authentication wise. Now you have two people who bought the same bag because Tradesy once again fails.

How funny, I just put this on reserve. I wonder if I should wait in case someone else purchased it. I don't see any improvements on the site. Very disappointing.

Haha that was funny. It happened to me once, I bought this bag and the seller didn't get a notification so she re-listed it and someone bought it again. I got it in the end because I was first, but I'm sure the other person was disappointed

Are you surprised though? The price increase would've made sense if after improvements but hard to take when there's nothing different!
