people don't have money and want too many things nowadays. I consider it's lucky when person doesn't come back or lowballer doesn't buy, it's better than dealing with returns due to "smell" or other issues they invent to get a refund.
Every weekend the past 3 weeks someone has made a purchase on Saturday night and then after I confirm the sale they requested a cancellation before Monday morning. I just received my 3rd cancellation request just as I'm waiting for the Post Office to open so I can ship.
I have no problem canceling a purchase because I always want my buyers to be happy but someone posted here a few days ago that Tradesy penalizes sellers for cancellations even if it is a buyer request. That's disappointing.

I would not cancel, ship it! The buyer can get a Tradsey credit. Tell them sorry I shipped it already. I've had this happen to me before and I've cancelled but I won't anymore.
I actually had a buyer tell me they want to cancel after the item had already been shipped!
I think I will. She didn't even make the request from the same account she made the purchase.
Why should I be penalized by Tradesy for canceling at a buyer's request. I'm just hoping they don't damage it just to be able to return for a refund.
Did you videotape the item before you shipped it with the buyers information? I always do that. If she tries to say it was significantly not as described I would point out to Tradsey that she wanted to cancel before shipment and therefore it's buyers remorse.
The post office doesn't open for another 20 minutes but I didn't videotape it before boxing it. If she makes the request again from the account she made the purchase then I may just cancel it just to avoid any potential drama. The item she purchased was bought at a steal in the LV sale on Saturday. It was only carried twice and it is an item that is sold out at LV. It will easily sell again in the next week or 2 because of the condition and it's priced to sell.
Any future sales I'll just go ahead and ship unless the buyer has a good reason for the request.
Thanks for your help.

Hold on, if it's not from the same account it's not legit. because you feel sure you'll sell this LV item anyway, just to avoid troubles contact Tradesy and ask what's going on with this buyer, don't ship or cancel until then.
The cancel request was from a different account. I contacted the buyer through the Tradesy contact info and left a message but I never got a message back. The only messages I got came from a different account even when I told her she must request a cancellation from the account she made the purchase. It's weird.
Anyway I never heard from the purchase account so I shipped it an hour ago. Still getting cancellation requests from the other account now even tho I told her it already shipped. I may contact Tradesy to make them aware of this in case there is some BS brewing.

Can someone with recent experience with international sales tell how it works? when are the funds released, upon delivery to forwarding company or upon delivery to the final destination? I'm in price negotiation with a foreign buyer, if I need to wait for money to be released until it's delivered to her, I'd rather pass.
Did you look on their website for this information? Last update I saw it's four days after it's delivered to the forwarding company.
When I have shipped to a freight forwarder, my funds were released 4 days after delivery to the forwarder.
But I've sold two things that were shipped to Erlanger (freight forwarder) and I had to wait until 4 days after final delivery to the buyer, which was in Canada for both sales.
