Ladies, I got a pair of shoes sold during this current 10% shoes sale event. It turned out that's it's me who is paying this 10% not the website as it used to be! Is in it a robbery? I thought it's as used to be "tradesy pays 10%", however all these looking like" generous loving customers "website uses a dirty policy making people believe that they hold sales, but it's sellers who forcibly pays the 10%.
Did you opt into the sale or was your item automatically put on sale?
They changed this months ago and it's in their terms, they also sent out an email concerning their new policies.
You don't have to opt in to the sales. I don't.
So I had picked up momentum really good sales now it's crickets again.....
You can also increase your initial price so when these sales happen, the price that it sells for with discount is your target price. I started to opt into these Tradesy sales tactics because it seems like my items were getting more exposure than me just having them marked at a reasonable price. Something about having an item priced "on sale" sparks people's interest to buy vs seeing an item not marked on sale (even if listed at a fair price or below Tradesy market price).
Tradesy just updated policy re cancellations for pro sellers, 1 for every 30 sales per quarter which is same as policy for returns due to SNAD. They also clarify that cancellation requested by buyers will still be counted against sellers which means sellers should be feel less guilted into doing that.
because Tradesy doesn't transfer your money until 4th business day after you click transfer, they hold it. then deposit is made on the next business day, that's how long it actually takes. I learnt it when Tradesy took my money back for the item they misauthenticated. they took money from my account 4-5 days before the deposit was made (I withdrew money on Fri, so I thought, but they didn't actually send it until late Wed-Thu).
