It has happened to me for various different reasons. Listings expire without notice, if a buyer purchases the item and the purchase isn't approved it can disappear from your closet and if someone has reported your item as inauthentic it can also disappear. The only want to figure out what's up is to contact Tradesy and ask.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Note that I'm just thinking out loud. I don't know your Tradesy ID, don't know your brands of items that were removed and have no idea whether it's a glitch or if they were reported as fake.
I don't do a lot of business on Tradesy and when they increased their fees, I ended the few listings I had so I don't know how their notification system works. When a listing is removed for a (supposed) violation, is Tradesy like ebay and Bonanza in sending the seller a notification that a listing was removed and the reason why? (And if Tradesy doesn't do it, they certainly should!)
Is there any chance that your 2 items might not have been authentic? Again, I don't know what you were selling but I've seen lots of "guaranteed authentic" listings for items that are counterfeit. Or they could have been mistakenly removed as fake based on a report from someone who may not know the brand. (This is where a notification system would be helpful so sellers would know how to appeal a removal.)
^^^^ This.
So weird, That happened to me too. I asked Tradesy to remove it and they said they did, but it's still there and so annoying! I wonder if other people can see it or just the person who owns the closet?
Other people can see it. I can see mine when I'm not logged in.
I've been selling on Tradesy for a couple years now. I use it as a way to sell designer items (mostly shoes) I no longer want. I've sold about 40 items. It has been a pretty hassle free way to sell. People rarely messaged me with questions.
In the past couple months all I get are low ballers. Aggressive low ballers. After fees, the end amount I get is so low. It is sad.
I miss the old days.
I am still selling on Tradesy because I just have so many shoes and other designer items I need to sell. I had a bad experience on eBay years ago so I'm scared of eBay.
I wish all of you on Tradesy good luck. I hope somehow it goes back to the way it was...

I thought when I started selling on Tradesy, I could quit ebay. Now ebay is looking much better. I have most things listed in both places, but some items only listed on Tradesy. For every sale I make on Tradesy lately, I make 7 on ebay. Ebay often offers me promotions for free listings or reduced fees. I've only sold 3 things on Tradesy since they raised their fees. I'm not seeing any improvements in the site. What I'm seeing is that they are heavily promoting their own items, which means they aren't promoting mine. I'm seeing people having problems with items bought from Tradesy's closet, poor response time from Tradesy for questions, and Tradesy returning authentic items to sellers for bogus reasons. I think Tradesy is drowning in returned items and they may go under.I've been selling on Tradesy for a couple years now. I use it as a way to sell designer items (mostly shoes) I no longer want.

They have ....what......three closets that I know of. Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and Abbey R
Penny Lane currently has 435 items listed and 9.7k items sold
Strawberry Fields 4.8k items for sale and 34.2k sold
Abbey R has 5.1k for sale and 20.8k sold
It looks like they've gone a long way in getting rid of that inventory. But I believe they sold nearly everything at a loss. That's not a good way to run a business.
There is also a closet which is the things still left over from ShopHers when that site was purchased. I found it by accident last month but I can't remember the name. Jackie something?
Here is another one: Lady Madonna https://www.tradesy.com/closet/ladymadonna/ It's their wedding stuff.

Hi - I do that now especially since they raised their commission rates and I don't want to pay commission against shipping but I don't like it at all. They don't always print right or print to scale and frankly, ink for the printer is very expensive. Plus I still take them to the post office and wait in line because I want to make sure they are scanned and I get a receipt. I have had a few packages go missing (both that I was sending and that I was supposed to be receiving) and frankly, even with the scanned tracking - the usps is clueless once a package goes off grid.
It's been dead for me since the increase BUT I sold 6 items this weekend out of no where.....
At this point the only thing that's keeping me from leaving is the shipping label. being able to ship high value items and know it's fully insursed for only $8.50 is absolutely worth it in my book.
On another note - has anyone else noticed that their listings say they are eligible for happy returns? It says "Skip the return request and bring the item to your nearest happy returns location for instant Tradesy Credit." seems like their isnt one by me but this makes me super nervous.

I wouldn't worry about that. I think one of my items was returned to one of those places because my money was released 2 days after delivery. I think if your buyer returns to one of those places, they just accept it and don't go through the process of examining the return closely, or authenticating it.
