I recently sold a bag in tradesy and got return for unknown reason (tradesy didn't notify me of the return and the reason), just notice that my earnings are being withheld. I emailed tradesy and responded that " The buyer requested return and being reviewed so the funds from this sale is being held up to 21 days", it's been 12 days. Then I saw my purse listed in Abbey's Closet, but tradesy hasn't release my earnings yet. Just wondering why my earnings still on hold, my item is already re listed, do I need to wait until the item is sold?

Are you a verified seller? they can hold funds for non-verified sellers up to 21 days, usually they release it fast, but who knows nowadays, especially with returns.

I sold 2 Coach bags on Tradesy last week and both of them got returned. I've been selling my LV and Coach bags on Tradesy for a year now and never had a return. I describe every flaw and take a lot of pictures, pack my bags very careful so, they won't damage while they are in transit. It's just so weird... Have Tradesy buyers become overly picky? Tradesy released the funds for one transaction and the funds for another transaction will be released later today. I don't know if I should withdraw money or let it sit there for a few weeks because who knows if Tradesy decides to take the money back and returns the bags back to me.

I don't think Tradesy buyers are overly picky. I think people who are less sure if they will like a bag buy on Tradesy because they know they can return. I would withdraw my money as soon as I'm able. How did you know they were returned?

Hi, yes, I'm a verified seller. I usually get my funds on the 4th day if there's no problem.

Last time that happened to me (I saw my returned bag already sitting in their closet), I emailed CS asking when my funds will be available they responded with "We just made them available"...so maybe try mentioning that you see the bag already up for sale by them. Its usually a good sign though, once they re-list.

The first bag was completely new and the buyer opened a return request due to smoke smell; so, I received an email. After, she sent me a message stating that she is allergic to the leather that has leather smell.honestly, I think if you are really allergic then don't buy from private sellers. My bag smells excactly the same way as any bag will smell if you purchase it from retail. Tradesy released my earnings because it's a normal smell of new leather. Another bag was delivered on Friday and this morning my earnings were supposed to be released and I looked at my sold items and this listing didn't have the "sold out" sign. However, my earnings were released a couple of hours ago. Both items are not available for sale and they are in Abbey R's closet now. I don't know if I should withdraw the money. I've read that tradesy can take it back from my bank account without letting me know.

It takes awhile, maybe as much as 2 weeks, before items will actually be for sale once they move to Tradesy's closet. It sounds like for the first one, you've already won the claim so it is doubtful they will take funds back for it. They didn't notify you about the second one, which probably means the buyer didn't complain. However, it is possible Tradesy could discover a problem when they examine the return.

What does it even mean to be "allergic to leather that has a leather smell"? Maybe try buying bags that aren't leather, then???

sorry to hear that,anybody can pull out "smell" issue and return it for the lack of any real reasons. Unfortunately, Tradesy can and does withdraw the money after you deposited it to your bank or PayPal. I had that situation once, they took money 4 days before my deposit was finally placed, it was a HUGE surprise for $1k+ bag.

sorry to hear that you had a problem with Tradesy as well. After this experience, I think I need to change my shopping habits and buy only stuff that I will use for years. My problem is I get tired of the same bags very quickly.

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...

facebook groups. if you join a few and participate for a while and build trust it can be a great way to sell your stuff. and most people will pay via friends/family so you avoid fees. i sold my first facebook bag (an lv) two weeks ago and it was awesome. just you and the buyer being friendly and getting it done. kinda like a much safer craiglist i suppose. i bought one that way too (an lv) to see how it works and it was great. the seller had sold many bags and various people commented about her being reliable and etc. i only collect and sell designer bags so not sure if groups exist for clothes, shoes and etc.?
