Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

[HandbagDiva354]

I had one a few days say "all have have is $600 can you accept?"

My handbag was like New purchased for $3200 listed at $1600. When I saw the message my first thought was if all you have is $600 you shouldn't be buying luxury items.

I could not agree more. Handbags and other luxury items are a "want" not a "need". Luckily none of us "need" to sell our items either, and buyers seem to forget that.

Me too, "I have only $1500" for $2700 bag. maybe the same buyers are stalking sellers to find the one who is desperately trying to get rid of "unwabted" luxury bags.

I listed a like new $6200+tax bag for $3999. I got an offer of $800 and she said, "The best I can offer is $900 for your unwanted bag but I really hope you would consider taking $800 for it."

What? Unwanted bag?

Lol! I've seen many of these and some ppl really just poke you for fun.


My favorite moment was a buyer going back and forth about $10 on a pair of $300 shoes. She came back the second time and up her bid after I refused to lower a dime. In the middle of the conversation the shoes were sold to another buyer.

Hi guys! I am eyeing a Chloe medium marcie bag on Tradesy, and I was wondering if I could ask y'all a couple of questions.

First, its says they guarantee authenticity, but how? Does someone from the site really review the item and authenticate? Or is it up to me, the buyer, to know the bag is real?
Second, do I have to pay sales tax above and beyond the price listed? Or is it included? (Or does it not apply at all?)
Thanks for your help!

You have to authenticate it yourself or get someone to do it, like tpf. If you buy it and suspect it isn't authentic, you can return it and Tradesy will authenticate it then. I've never had to pay sales tax on Tradesy.

Pre-authenticate it yourself here on tPF. you can ask seller for additional pics with imprints and code if they are not included.
you pay sales tax only if the seller is in your state or if you are located in CA where Tradesy headquarter is, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm in California and I've never paid sales tax. When I set up listings, I don't see any place to charge sales tax. I don't think their platform is set up for it.

I've been seeing a lot of people complaining on tradesy social media that they purchase items and get Japanese tracking numbers...does tradesy allow international sellers now? Maybe as long as they have a US bank account? It would suck if all the huge ebay sellers now moved to tradesy. Even tradesy closets would be out of business lol

Great to know - thank you!

I am in CA as well. The lack of sales tax plus the discount would make buying pre-loved worth it to me. I will ask someone in the Chloe forum to authenticate. Thank you!

This is a pet peeve of mine. When someone begs and says they "NEED" a $2000 handbag or a $700 pair of shoes or something. They're called luxury items for a reason. I could be wrong but I don't think anyone has ever died of a Gucci deficiency, YKWIM?

Every time I get "I only have..." and "what's your lowest" message I' thinking of turning off the messages notification on my phone SO ANNOYING.

Tradsey has had international sellers for quite some time now and they have had large sellers for quite some time now too. Unfortunately Tradsey has forgotten about us small sellers who have been with them since the site launched.

A buyer should be able to know where the seller is located, and to bypass listings that are being shipped from another country. You have this option on ebay. I have noticed that Tradesy has recently added expected receipt dates so you might be able to guess which sellers aren't US based.
