Keep praying girlfriend. LOL
If it's a site wide promo you're hoping for I'm really thinking tradesy is not going to do those anymore. Unless the seller opts in because I believe that's tradesy's new promo conditions.
Do I remember correctly that Tradesy justified commission increase by promising to improve search and do sitewide promos covered by Tradesy? well, there were none since December 1, all their sales are covered by sellers.
I don't recall them saying they would be having promos as part of the 'improvements' .
Tradesy has been pretty much dead for me.
I haven't made a sell in two weeks, I've been selling on Tradsey for two years, this has been the longest I've ever gone without a sell. I didn't raise prices on items already listed before the commission increase. I'm hoping it's just a lull due to the holidays but fear sells are slowing due to Tradsey promoting their own closets and no more site wide codes/sales. I'm so disappointed with the direction Tradsey has taken in forgetting about the SELLERS who were with them from the beginning.
Mine have slowed down too. They never were fantastic, but for awhile I was making more sales on tradesy than ebay. Last Spring, I was selling a lot on Tradesy. I made 3 sales on Tradesy in December. Looking back to last year, I only made 3 sales on Tradesy last December too, but my sales on other sites were much better. I've only made about half the sales this December as last. I don't think it has anything to do with prices. My prices are better than most people on Tradesy. I don't think buyers are seeing my listings. Tradesy is constantly promoting their own stuff. My sales tend to come in batches, like for a short while, my listings were actually being seen by buyers.
Hi!
I've just received an email from Tradesy team regarding my sold item (headband).
It says that "The item was returned to us by the buyer, and while the reason for return was related to another issue, our Brands Team inspects all items that may be relisted on the site and the item has been confirmed as a replica.
The following details were looked at to determine if the item was genuine, but were inconsistent with authentic examples of this item:
Visible Glue Markings
Uneven Stitching
Overall Quality & Craftsmanship"
I'm in shock
This is definitely authentic item, I bought it in Switzerland in the brand boutique. Please, advise, did anybody have this kind of authentication issue with Tradesy? This is not an expensive item, but I'm now afraid that this can happen again and I have no idea how to prove them wrong

Even if you get it authenticated, they will stand by their authentication, even if they are wrong. Sometimes I think they make these things up just so they won't be stuck reselling your item. What brand was it?Hi!

Several months ago, I had one buyer claim non-authenticity on a brand I don't think anyone ever fakes. Tradesy contacted me and allowed me to offer my evidence before they made a decision, which was decided in my favor. I don't think they have ever resold that bag, so I bet they wish they hadn't decided in my favor.
Thank you!
It's Burberry. I know there are a lot of fakes, but uneven stitching and glue marks are smthing that can happen with almost any high end item, and this is just a headband. This is so subjective and not enough to make such a decision imho. I tend to agree that maybe they just do not want to resell. I think I just will relist it.
Don't relist it. If it gets returned again for authenticity Tradesy may close your account. It's not worth the chance. Just sell it on eBay or Poshmark.
jmc3007, HandbagDiva354, thank you! You are right, I'm not allowed to relist.
These are photos of the headband, I can't figure out there the uneven stitching, etc is

The exact same thing just happened to me. I made a sale on December 15th, the buyer returned, and Tradesy emailed me the exact same message they emailed you. I've sold on Tradesy for years now and all my items were either bought directly from the designer or a reputable 3rd party seller(I.e. Nordstrom, Macy's etc). I think this is their new tactic for not being responsible for reselling returns. I guess it's time for me to find another site for selling my bags.

Don't be sorry! I think Tradesy is just returning things for whatever reason they can. They want to keep inventory low. I think that is a beautiful headband. Someone will buy it on Ebay for sure.
I just got into Ebay over the weekend by the way. Still figuring out how it works, but got some purses coming my way now. Already received one and it is a beautiful purse and she said she is on the Purse Forum too. Made me feel a little bit better about the purchase.
I'm a little worried about fakes on Ebay though. There seems to be a lot of them!
And *update* on that Gucci purse that "charity case" bought from me. I just got a Christmas card in the mail from her with my tax deduction paperwork. She also planted a tree in my name for the donation of giving my purses to her at a good price. AND she gave me the link to her Facebook. It is a legit cause.
