Never noticed and hadn't heard about it - I wonder if you can buy from them too? Old school brick and mortar.

Saw A TV Commercial for Tradesy with the founder talking about it - it looked good and classy and I was so happy to see it. I hope they can run a lot of spots - if traffic builds & I start to sell - the higher commission will at least see results. Unfortunately, I only got one idiot who asked me 3 questions about the same product, and the answers were all in the initial description so she didn't even bother reading it. I did a few searches trying to find stuff I'd be interested in buying or at least putting in my favorites - and either nothing came up when I know there had to be a bunch of these item - or a ton of crap and all you do is say silk and it doesnt matter silk what - whatever you search for you you get pages of those damn men's ties. And I wrote them about this again and then told the I am sick of these huge manufacturers sticking their jewelry everywhere - miscellaneous used to be a great little place for unique stuff - now its jewelry which should be in its own category and men's ties - which if anywhere should be in weddings - grooms. But I guess they're selling a ton. Of course, they're blocking everyone else's stuff from being seen. The traffic will come, and leave if nobody can find what they're looking for.
Men's ties are supposed to be against their policy. They've said no men's products are allowed.
I've never been able to find anything on Tradesy in a search. The best thing to do is a google search, limiting your results to Tradesy, unless you just want to browse on Tradesy.
I have that problem you described with "silk" searching on any site. If I'm searching for leather, I get fake leather. I've been searching recently for a down jacket and a down comforter, and I have to wade through tons of polyester filled jackets and down alternative comforters.
I recently sold an item I had listed on Tradesy, ebay and Bonanza. I sold it on ebay and my buyer had just joined ebay that day, so I figured she must have found my item on Google. It seems to me that ebay's advertising works better than either of the other two sites.
Phew, finally! I'm happy to hear, because I was just about to post that it's a solid BBB case and then they WILL respond timely.
For one of my lost sales Tradesy promised me a commission free deposit because it was totally their fault. I contacted them once I sold the item, it was on December 30. Well, I never heard back, either they don't want to honor the promise or it's their current agenda to hold on to the money as long as possible.
Thank you! Yes, they kept ignoring my emails as well (the last week of the process I sent an email every day - starting a few days after I was notified that the item had reached their office). I finally called the CS number (you can find the number if you google it) and it was taken care of within 24 hours. When I heard the wait time, I almost hung up, but then I realized that they have the option where they auto-call you back once your place in line reaches #1. It might be worth trying this if it is worth the effort to you in money vs lost time.
Hopefully someone can help me with this...I've purchased two items on Tradesy and I was able to apply a coupon they had given me last year due to a mess up on their part. The purchase needed to be 1000.00 or more for the coupon to be applied. I've received one item but the seller of the other has not shipped and isn't responding to my inquiries. If they cancel, what happens to the coupon that I applied? Does it still work? Will they deactivate and charge my card the difference? Just wondering if anyone has had this happen. Thanks
Hi guys, I apologize for the late response. I just started back law school, so it has been very hectic. Just a quick update. After letting my buyer know that Tradesy was aware of the situation(they did get back to me, I will update after this too), I sent them detailed pictures on the day this shirt was sent, and the authentication link to the purse forum. She has NOT contacted me since. She was actively responding before. Go figure. The shirt is AUTHENTIC. The ONLY reason Tradesy sided with me is because I kept PUSHING. I just want everyone to know, Tradesy WILL pull your funds even IF it is past the return date IF the buyer is not sure about authenticity and will verify ONLY by their authenticatiors. (They told me this on Friday)This is a lesson learned for me. I will start tagging my items. Thank you so much again for ALL of your help!
I got tired of waiting for my shoes to sell on Tradesy. I think they've been listed for a year. I listed them on ebay for the same price and they sold on the second day.
Thanks! However, now I have to worry what the buyer will do if they don't fit. I just listed a pair of boots on ebay and had to charge over $20 for shipping!
I think that the commercials + the large LV sale is really helping sell items. I've never seen so many favorites on my items in such little time! Still dividing my sales between here and eBay and I'd say it's going well.
I sold another pair of shoes on ebay. Only had them listed for 3 days. They were on Tradesy for a year. I wish something would sell on Tradesy.
Just received Tradesy email with selling advice.
"To entice buyers to shop your closet, Tradesy funds amazing sales and huge sitewide discounts throughout the year. That means, we cover the discount offered to shoppers so it doesn’t reduce what goes in your pocket. These promotions generate record-high sales and drive home the idea that your closet is an affordable shopping destination. Win, win".
oh really?
And the whole email is about dropping prices and providing bigger discounts. with their commission increase up to 18% they make sellers do all the work (pictures, description, answering Qs, shipping and packaging) and yet sellers bite the bullet (bigger discounts, item can be returned for no reason and funds can be pulled out any time, bad customer service). not working much I would say.

I read that email and had the same thought! They are making sellers opt into the sales nowadays with the discounts coming out of our profits. Unless something changed in the last couple of days, which I doubt!
First they tell us to lower our prices and then opt into sales to lower the prices further.
