It's not necessarily a loss to them, it depends whether buyers got site credit or refund. Most likely site credit especially if you didn't get funds pulled out of your account after a return. There's an implied loss, not an outright loss since Tradesy is the intermediary holder of goods, they didn't layout the cash to purchase said inventory. You have to breakdown the return rate from SNAD vs change of mind. As long as they offer returns ppl will take advantage of it. Why not, worst is their return is denied.

it used to be so. now they inspect all the items whether it's snad or not and looking for a reason for return. when return is snad, I receive e-mail confirmation from them, when it's not - I don't receive anything, so I can determine the initial reasons of my returns. I had returns from them in both cases. they used to keep items if buyer returned them just because they changed their mind. now it doesn't matter, they are just looking for any reason to give it back to you. my last case wasn't snad, they just didn't fit and buyer got site credits. and the shoes were flawless, just without price sticker. they still sent it back:(

It depends on the number of sales in total but yes if you only had 30 sales and you got hit with 2 SNAD claims during a quarter, you'd lose trade status.

and do they still take 9% from business seller? I had 570 sales on Tradesy and like 5 or 7 SNAD returns during all the time, non of them were because of authenticity issues (and I disagree with most of them, but who cares lol). they offered me to join the program this summer and I didn't call them back. when I asked in December, they denied saying they don't accept new members at the moment.

This is helpful. I just sold a brand spanking new Celine pair of boots. So if a buyer returns the item to Tradesy I can lose my money? I'm about to list 12 pairs of Celines on there and now I'm terrified to do that. That was the first time I sold anything on Tradesy and my item went so fast I did not even have a chance to blink once it posted and sold.

Forget that. These sites must really get better with protection for both sides, buyer and seller. After all they need the inventory from the sellers and of course the buyers to purchase. But if push comes to shove, I have my receipts and the uploaded pictures and all the proof I have that my stuff is authentic.

I agree, there's no reason to panic yet. But even if you get paid and don't get any emails about returns in 4 day-inspection period, Tradesy can pull out your funds later if they receive return and decide they don't want to keep it. but they don't do it with every return,maybe with every 5th return or so, hard to tell because it's not in their policy.

Downgraded from trade status means sellers pay 14.9% commission like the rest

Ha! I made you curious! It was a near vintage all leather Coach briefcase. All the compartments and pockets were made of thick leather and there was plenty of heavy hardware too. Hopefully my buyer is looking for a workout on her way to work! Coach later learned to use thinner leather and make the compartment dividers out of something lighter weight.

Look how many pictures I was able to upload!? It's weird, it's only been on a few that I've done. Glitch?

You know what else I "love" about Tradesy? When they promote their sales they use stock photos of amazing cute Louis Vuitton's and other high end items that are current and fabulous. But then you click on the sale it's all old, used items that aren't good deals considering the wear. And the pictures suck most of the time. It's deceiving. They should put actual pictures of the items that are on sale in the email promo. But then that probably wouldn't help them.
