Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I contacted those potential buyers who asked about my items and alerted them of the sale. That helped a lot.
I've done that in the past but it never resulted in any sales. This time I didn't bother. Very few of my items are over $200 so the coupon wouldn't have helped most of my buyers unless they were to buy more than one item.
 
I literally have not sold anything since the commission hike. I've even lowered my already super low prices on all my high end designer items.
Anyone else experiencing lack of sales on Tradesy too?
Tradesy sales come in waves for me, like all of a sudden Tradesy is allowing my listings to be seen and the rest of the time they are hidden! I made 4 sales in one week in January on Tradesy and nothing the rest of the month. Everything I sold had been listed for quite a while. Usually the first of a month is good, but I haven't made any sales anywhere this month so far.

That's how it is for me too. I think my sales have been better this Jan than last Jan though.
I haven't listed anything new since the commission increase. I have more things I want to sell, but I'm just unmotivated to take the pictures and make the listings. I really want to keep downsizing my bags/slgs/shoes/wardrobe though. theBay has been dead for me so I'm not motivated to list more there either.

This is exactly how it goes for me also. I just made a $3200 sale last week and the item had been there for awhile, so that was nice. When I'm looking for something on Tradesy and I filter, sometimes there will be no results, for something I know has items like searching "brooch" and filtering by brand to "Chanel", or "scarf ring" and filtering by brand to "Hermes". When I do a google search for those terms + Tradesy then a lot of items come up. I wonder how many people are missing our listings due to Tradesy's horrible search function.

I just had a nightmare buyer on ebay so when I get the bag back, I'll probably be putting it on Tradesy.

I just tried to put more than 12 pictures in a listing and it wouldn't let me.

I have. It's hard to sell there. I've only sold two items and one was a Celine boot and a bag. I told them over to Vestiare and my items are doing much better there. I don't think Tradesy does much to market their items.
 
Has anyone found anything similar to Tradesy (except for eBay) so far? I liked Tradesy for the return security (I mostly sold relatively inexpensive items) and the shipping labels but I need to sell some of my stuff and nothing is moving nor has been for the past several months since the commission increase. I feel like Poshmark is too risky and social for me but I haven't found anything else yet...
