Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

[nicole0612]

Has anyone actually received anything from the Tradesy closets black friday sales? I purchased several items and still no movements in the shipping!

I purchased something on day 1, the week before thanksgiving and it arrived ~1.5 weeks later, last week. I bought something else on the second to last day of the sale and another on the last day of the sale, one has shipped, the other is just "confirmed".

I wonder is it because of sale or do they always ship so slowly? my buyers get their purchases in 2 - 3 days after confirmation

not long ago I purchased an item from Abbey Rd and it was shipped the next day. I think they were overwhelmed with the sales, they must have sold hundreds if not thousands of items.

I ordered something on 11/25 and my sellet just messaged me yest they finally received the shipping kit. It will prob be another week before I get it. It always seems to take so much longer when the seller uses the kit.

A lot of times I hear that the seller doesn't get kit and then has to request another one! Ugh. I'm waiting for a purchase that I bought 11/27. Then Tradesy sends that note "seller should've shipped already blah blah blah," half the time it's Tradesy fault for not shipping the kit fast enough!

the whole shipping saga can totally be avoided if Tradesy ditch the mail kit concept. it's expensive and does no one any good especially with the to and fro, I remember that they even opened a kit distribution on the east coast to expedite the process. in this day and age of eBay and Amazon if a seller can't figure how to send a parcel from point A to B, they deserve to be stuffed back inside the 1980s closet and stay there.

USPS works pretty well most of the times based on my experience but whenever there's a hiccup it tends to be major and time consuming, I don't need to tempt fate by using USPS 2-3 times in a single transaction before an item gets to the buyer. in my area, I can even schedule for free pickup during regular hours, so don't have to rush to post office. once in a blue moon, my carrier misses a pickup so I just reschedule for next day.

I'm surprised that they haven't done away with the shipping kits. I can't imagine any of the business sellers use them. And it seems like they really just want the larger volume sellers now.

so they did it again - returned my shoes in perfect condition, with 12 detailed pictures, accurately described. first they released the funds and a week after they took them back. the reason - "It has more wear than listed".
and I had no idea they were returned by buyer since today.

That's horrible! I'm wondering if you could contact the buyer and ask her what she thought of the condition. If she says something like 'they were perfect; they just didn't fit' you can throw that in Tradesy's faces.

I had the same experience with Tradesy - I was on the phone and email for days but they wouldn't budge. I did get my purse back in the same condition I sent it, so that was a relief

I am afraid it won't work they will just send me their agreement once again.

btw I didn't even get e-mail from them about this return. I just noticed that they refunded money today. hope they at least will send the shoes back

they keep doing it, huh? I thought maybe just maybe after they somehow cleared their closets they would stop these unethical practices of returning perfect auth, as described items to sellers and refunding buyers. especially after commission increase things should be more civilized for $$ we are paying. nothing changed unfortunately, except for commission increase itself.

Now when my bag was deemed authentic by Caroldiva, they accepted this report and restored my listing upon my request. I had to discount it heavily because Tradesy damaged the bag. though they issued compensation, I'm not thrilled to sell it so cheaply with Tradesy 18% commission.
