Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Tradesy finally released my funds today on a $25 item that was delivered on December 5. I can't figure out why my funds were held so long. The item never moved out of my closet, so it wasn't returned. Coincidentally I made another sale yesterday. I wonder if that somehow triggered the release of my funds.

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 ;)
Yes, my point exactly, holding your money over a month is too much. I'm surprised how quickly Tradesy pulls out your funds if they claim it's SNAD, they did it on 5th day after sale, 4 days before my deposit dropped to my account (I won that one). but when Abbey R is the seller it takes 6 days to respond to SNAD claim and 7 days for "evaluation"? not to mention two weeks to ship. give me a break.

It looks like both messages and funds go to limbo on Tradesy nowadays. I had a sale yesterday, customer asked me when it can be shipped, I responded her immediately, she bought it, I shipped it. then today after shipping notification was sent, I started receiving her old messages about the item and if her sale went through. Luckily I received the first message and sale notification, but other three messages were delivered with 1 day delay.

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.
Woah, I didn't even think of that! That would be horrible, but yes, my money went through. She has sold over 100 things though..
 
My nagging suspicion all along is she's a reseller, and basically asked for bulk discount for buying several items at same time.
She bought this specific purse first and separate from the other purses I sold her. Even the bulk deal price was only good for someone who actually wanted to keep the purses. There is no resale value at all. This is what I do for a part time job! I want the best offer! :-)
 
I think whatev is right, she must've stolen someone's credit card and bought it with that. There is no other logical reason. She didn't even try to sell the purse for more. It was automatically on sale the day after she listed it.

Wow. That's a good price! I paid $450 for the purse originally. I honestly don't get it. Unless she works for Tradesy? But even then...ugh my brain hurts!

That's the only thing that would make sense is if it was purchased fraudulently. That's a $65 loss from the buying price a week ago not to mention another additional loss of approximately $120+ in Tradesy / Paypal fees. :shocked:

I googled her real name and she came up as a business woman. Then there was another girl with her name and she looked like a teenage girl who still goes to school.

Who knows.

I couldn't find anything legit.

She may be doing it for tax purposes? she wants to show business is at loss to avoid paying taxes, so she started selling at loss at the end of the year?
 
I just got a SNAD item from Abbey R. as well. It's a bag that stated "light corner wear" but actually has a hole right through it and conveniently the hole wasn't shown in pictures.
To me, "light corner wear" does not mean actual holes in the leather. Thank heavens I paid with a credit card through paypal.

So far 2 different associates have asked me for phots, which I sent.
Not loving Tradesy too much these days....

Sorry to hear you joined the club of Abbey R snad-ers. I blame myself, what was I thinking really. if they luck integrity in several departments why should it be all good with Abbey R? but when I see a good deal my control mechanisms stop working.
after I sent them pictures and informed that PayPal is ruling in my favor they still have guts to insist on 7-day inspection period, and possible store credit. in last email they said they would "take it into consideration". no apologies BTW.

I know right? I knew mine was risky too but the thrill of the possibility made me a little irrational.
I am thinking about getting my cc involved for the 1/3 refund (2/3 purchased with selling balance) since I have the professional documentation of SNAD. My thought is that if Tradesy has to give me a 1/3 refund that will spur them into sending me the return authorization for the item. They have dropped off the face of the Earth and stopped answering my emails since last Wednesday after offering me a return or $300 credit. Of course, they could always just take that money back from my account since they have access to it, or some other trickery. What would you do?

I think that could be illegal for them to snatch the money from your account if you win a credit card dispute. At that point, their only recourse would be to fight the credit card company. I think I would open the credit card dispute if I were you. It makes me afraid to use my selling balance to buy anything.

Thank you.
Yes, it seemed to make sense to save the 2.9%, but now I am regretting it.
