Ha, me too! The buyer's friend told her it was fake after she bought it. Must be something in the water...

I just had someone buy 10 of my purses!! So I'm happy. Haha. This is that girl who said she is buying them for charity. Whatever it is, as long as I get what I wanted

Wow! That's amazing.
Supposedly, you can't buy dust bags or designer boxes anymore?! Bought a Chanel purse the other day and it didn't come with a box or dust bag, so i went to go buy one and Tradesy cancelled it and said it was prohibited. I have bought probably 10 dust bags before on Tradesy with no problem.
Probably because it wasn't being sold by one of their closets. They certainly have no qualms about selling fake merchandise
I am not selling anything now. I do remember before the increase I was constantly competing with Tradesy and their pro-seller's only site sales. It was tough, so I can imagine now. I swear with this one pro-seller every time I lowered my price his would automatically be lowered too. It was weird and at odd times too. I never had a return on Tradesy, but I am glad returns are taken by Tradesy. A loved one told me not to focus on any other listings. I was changing my listing to match competitors which made buyers watch my listing, than buy. So, I understand the frustration. Once I stuck my best listing and forgot about it, I got a buyer shortly after. This mindset is the only way I can sell on Tradesy.

it doesn't work for me, I can offer my price in these negotiations for 2 or 3 times per item, and then I have to take it or decline it. and I have to decline about half of what I list, as their offers are jokes
Sorry to hear that, they've always accepted my offer in the end. I have sometimes, out of frustration, just straight out declined their offer and then made a new listing (this helps and sometimes my price was accepted right off the bat). There are some morons working at VC! Many of the asking prices on their site are so above market price that it's laughable. Makes you think what experts they have in the house to do price negotiations.
And the funny thing is that my $800 item was sold within 3 days
. Can you imagine if I had accepted VC's offer!And the best thing about it is: no worries about buyers remorse, or scammers, no sitting on pin and needles. Your bag has really sold!!! And VC has also been very consistent with their payouts. I never had a late payment.
That is odd! They definitely updated it elsewhere, because I checked on day 1 of the rate increase. That's a big oversight.

That's great news!
I totally agree with you about just listing the item again if negotiations get too frustrating! I had a couple of items that were immediately accepted on the 2nd list attempt. It seems like it just really depends which VC employee ends up reviewing it.
So far it's been a breeze selling with them. Well...it's a pain to list, but actually getting the items to sell is easy so far. It's kind of the opposite of Tradesy in they way [emoji6]
I'm with you on this. my listings are parked there until Christmas for higher price. then I'll put my closet on a two-week vacation. then we'll see. Recently my two sales were cancelled and one item returned to me, it was unfair competition with Tradesy closets and pro-sellers who don't even disclose damage properly in the listings. And someone made the point that returns are coming from us, small sellers, so it's OK to suck it up. I think when Tradesy was platform for small sellers, number of returns was small. Tradesy was flooded with returns after they acquired Shop Hers and tons of returns started coming from pro-sellers. now it's even more unfair to us, pro-sellers didn't get commission increase.I am not selling anything now.

I sold several dust bags on Tradesy a few months ago. I hope they didn't change their policy. I still have a bunch more I'd like to sell.
Did it always say "Tradesy Cash?" That sounds like it isn't real money, almost like site credit or scrip.
Yes, they did change their policy and even worse, you can't sell VIP items.
The previous screenshot I was referring to was that it still said 9% commission. Haha. But yea, the Tradesy cash sounds weird too and it is NOT available until after the 4 days. They made it sound like it is available to use right away.
