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.

fake or her own purse that she used. things don't add up.

what do you mean by this?

returned items appear in sold section of my closet. someone liked it and missed it, once it appeared as sold and link is still active (item is available in Tradesy closet) buyer asks me why it was returned, what's the condition. I honestly respond that I'm only responsible for the accuracy of listing when the bag is in my possession, I can't know what happens after it's relisted. So it goes back to me. I think the same happens if buyer uses "relist" option.

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.

And imagine how much larger her profit would have been if you'd given in to her attempts at sympathy.

Re the pictures, I had to laugh! Remember when several of us were trying to make you understand why picture theft (and unauthorized use) upset us so? I think I commented something to the effect of, "when it happens to you, you'll understand."

Call me a cynic but I don't believe the charity story.

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 :happydance:. Can you imagine if I had accepted VC's offer!

Yeah, "experts". and another weird and unprofrssional thing about VC. I sold the boots and sent them to their NY office. And now I have this letter that "We kindly inform you that the buyer was unable to complete the purchase of your item. In this regard, your item is now for sale under your account with a new reference". So they didn't make sure the purchase was complete before approving it, and now they want to hold my boots there so I can't sell it anywhere else. Not funny, Vestiare Collective. I asked them to ship the boots back to me. Had no idea such situation could ever happen with them

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.

lol that's what I was talking about a comment ago. I also thought my boots were sold but appeared that they are not. even with VC we are not insured from such cases:(

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?

I feel same here. Vestiaire in v light print at bottom of listing states whether the item is being resold, a relatively new feature I think, Tradesy should do something similar. But that said I recently and successfully forced a return to VC under the same circumstances. The seller relisted a purse bought month before and she didn't make any changes to either description or photos, problem was she must have used it everyday in the month that she had it. The original photos showed stickers still intact on the hardware and that scratches were only visible under v harsh light. What I received was SNAD even though it managed to pass VC inspection. I said that their quality inspector A) didn't even look at the photos in the listing and B) must have worn sunglasses cuz scuffs were visible even in a dark room in the absence of any light lol. Also said all in the price was v good and I would have purchased it anyway if the second buyer added new photos etc, hardly a crime to sell used bags on VC!! It was a reflection of sheer laziness on VC and the seller's part.

Possession is 9/10th of the law so why not step it up to 10/10th and post your own pics. I see so many avocado toasts on 'gram and Pinterest but folks can't take time to document their own merchandise, ugh

What?! Do I need coffee or something? I'm so confused. hehe. sorry

There's an old English proverb "possession is 9/10th...." so in my mind the buyer who relists is the new owner and should use her own pics as the intem is currently in her possession and no longer in the seller's.

As for the other reference I come across hundreds of pics of a $10 brunch dish but for something easily worth 10x more they're too lazy to put up fresh pics

It's been awfully quiet on Tradesy since last liquidation sale and price increase. I don't expect tons of sales, I only get discount requests and suggestions to take a sale elsewhere. Even Tradesy promos have dried up.

I will be happy to finalize return with them for SNAD bag from Abbey R and be done. Finally they responded to my emails on Thursday, I emailed them since last Friday and I had to open PayPal claim (order placed on 11/28, received on 12/09 and no response from them about SNAD for a week). As a buyer I'm not browsing Tradesy closets any more. Tradesy created another headache where it should go smoothly. it was not even a crazy good deal, $100 below market price but with damage it will be impossible to resell, and obviously not on Tradesy with 18% commission.

I am having a hard time hearing back from them about my SNAD claim as well. I received one email back in all of this time asking if I wanted to return or to get a small price adjustment. I asked for the return and now I am still waiting.
