Sales on Tradesy became really slow these days, so I decided to try Posh. Just posted my first listings, and I don't feel comfortable with only 4 pictures per listing. I can't list all the details that might be needed for online authentications, 4 pics are not enough. How do you ladies deal with it? And if I want to post a bag, there are so many details need to be seen, like made in, code, corners, lining.
That's what they advice at their support page, but it's so inconvenient
"The maximum number of photos you can post on a listing is 4. However, if you would like to add more than 4 photos of an item, we suggest creating a new listing with additional photos and setting the availability to Not for Sale".

I usually post the overall pics in my main listing but disclose all the flaws in the description. A buyer who is interested will read through your description carefully and ask to see the necessary photos of wear and tear. At that point, I usually make an additional listing and label it "more pics" and show the additional pictures. If the sale happens, you want to leave both listings (you can have more than 2, if necessary) up just in case there's a dispute, you want Posh CS to see that you were upfront about everything. The good thing about filing disputes on Posh is that they don't always side with the buyer- if you were open and showed all the flaws clearly, chances are you'll win your case. I also do the same thing on Posh like I do on Tradesy, I tag my items and video record (they also accept this as a form of evidence) prior to shipment.

I agree. I usually make a 2nd (and maybe 3rd listing) with other photos and state "see other listing for additional photos" on the first one. For the listings with additional photos just mark it $0 and select "not for sale".

Good luck! Will you give an update once you get your refund?
Since you have PayPal involved you will be paid back in the end, but hopefully it is no further hassle in the meantime.
You know, it is all shocking because I realize that mistakes can be made, but how is it that we are more knowledgeable about major designer brands than they are? Doesn't that seem odd? It would be a big problem if someone I grabbed off the street could do my own job with more expertise than I can.

I will, please keep us posted too.

TRR just posts about 4-5 pictures and they are usually blurry and hard to see any bag details. it sucks :sad: and yet... people (myself included)...still buy the 1K+ bags. make sure the pics you do post are excellent quality and focus on the negatives (like wear and tear) in the photos. i want to see the 'issues' a bag has so i don't get surprised. you can also combine the photos.. i've seen sellers do this a lot. patch together 4 photos into a single frame and you can have 16 photos posted

Update: Tradesy sent email that they had received my return. "here are two possible outcomes for your claim: Outcome 1: You’ll get a full refund to your original payment source if we determine that your item was misrepresented. Outcome 2: You’ll get a Tradesy Site Credit if we determine that your item was not misrepresented. You’ll be notified via email when your credit is available. Please allow up to 7 days for your claim to be evaluated."
I don't think I will "allow" 7 days and accepet site credit as it's obvious SNAD

Definitely not! No reason to wait around while they send you their automated responses.
Meanwhile I emailed them again about my SNAD item and included my last email from 12-15-16 when I selected the "refund" option out of the options they sent me. It's getting a little annoying, but Tradesy is not a place to buy/sell if you need your money (or anything) ASAP, and I knew that before buying, so as long as I get my refund in a reasonable amount of time then I won't care too much.
I just checked and my order date was Nov 28, so I'm hoping for a refund by the month mark ;)

Did your money get released? My worry would be that she stole the credit card she used to pay you and now she is trying to sell items quickly so she can get her money out of Tradesy before they figure it out. Then again, maybe she used Affirm and is just trying to sell enough so she can make the next few monthly payments.
