The Gucci purse that I sold to that "Charity cause", just re-listed it in her closet, which I knew she was going to re-sell it. But I thought she had an actual store. It doesn't really make too much since to me. I sold it to her for $791 and she re-listed it for $993. I had it listed at $899 for a couple months and no bites, so if she can sell it for $993, kudos to her. But with 18% commission, she would only make $814.26. Which a profit of $23.26 doesn't seem worth it to me. That part doesn't bother me. The part that bothers me is she used MY pictures and my description. I now understand why people don't like that.

But she just bought a whole bunch of my purses, so I want those to go through first and then I'll see if she can remove my pictures and put in her own hours and time on doing that.

The bolded doesn't make sense to me either :confused1:. Maybe she's not yet aware of the commission increase?

She doesn't look like a pro seller to me, maybe she doesn't know of the increase. Does she look like a pro seller to you?

I know how we get "emotionally attached" to our bags and keep tracking them, me included LOL
$23 profit doesn't make sense, unless she's using the bag all the way and relisted it just in case. it's not right to use your description and pictures because it can be in different condition when it's sold.

It wasn't even that I was attached. I bought it to resell it. I just saw in my closet it was a different price and back up for sale. But yes, do your own work!! Hehe.

That's is strange. What I also find strange is that on her store there is no mention of any charity.

I know. I noticed that when I sold to her. She said she is opening up a "My sister's closet" in Florida and will be putting up these purses for sale and any contributions made will go to her Charity. I do know that My Sister's Closet does do something like that. But why not just donate the money you spent on these purses? None of it makes sense to me.

i'm happy with all the sales I sold to her, but none of it makes sense. When I go to buy a STEAL from another closet, I don't tell them what I am doing with their purse or that I'm going to re-sell it for more. I just do it. Giving them too much information is just weird.

I swear I'm not stalking that purse, but she just lowered it to $933. She is losing money now.

that may not be your purse then, otherwise why to sell at loss and not to return? and that charity thing is a red flag.
it's not just attachment but I feel my reputation as a seller is at stake and I keep checking my returned or relisted items (well, there were 2-3 of them).
I wonder when the item is relisted, does it appear in your closet as an active listing in sold section with the link to her closet?

It is my purse because I sold it to her and those are my pictures.. Unless you mean she is switching it with a fake?! I don't think they make fake ones like that though.

Yes, when they relist it using my listing, it appears in my sold items as active and when you click on it, it is being sold by her.
