So I sold a Chanel purse 3/29. It was attempted to be delivered and I guess she wasn't home to sign for the purse. 3 days later she finally picks it up. 5 days later after I transferred my money to my bank, I get an email from Tradesy just now that she opened a return for misrepresentation. I don't like how people lie or feel like they made a mistake buying something and then return it because of buyers remorse. My listings always go above and beyond accuracy and I post plenty of photos. I don't hid any wear. We even communicated before the sale and I answered all of her questions.

This is my first return in like a year. It also included a whole bunch of stuff, like dust bag and shopping bag and more, I hope it all comes back the way I left it. People can be sloppy when shipping an item back because they don't care. What if she damaged it? I had a return a year ago because I was off by 2 inches and when I got the purse back the box that I included was ruined, trashed and ripped. I was just shocked how someone can ruin someone's property like that. It was a cheap sale so I didn't go further with fighting it. But this time I will.

I can see how this would make someone bitter about selling on Tradesy. Your policy clearly says 4 days. Why is she allowed to return in 5?

she can make return after 4-day window only for authenticity reasons (apparently any time on Tradesy). other misrepresentation claims should be done in 4-day window. there's still hope for a happy ending once Tradesy receives it and deems it's authentic.

WOW! That's horrible. I recently saw a bag (Celine) I wanted to get on ebay (from japan). I searched for the same style on Tradesy to see if I can find it cheaper and the SAME BAG with the SAME pics showed up except the woman said she was based in TX and shipping from the US. I messaged her asking how long will it take her to ship and she said about 7 days. Meaning once she got the sale, she would buy it on ebay, then ship to me from the US.
I then went ahead and got the bag on ebay and she kept the same bag in her closet for weeks after that! (which was btw, full of bags from Japanese sellers). Buttttt I think finally tradesy stepped in because all of her listings have been taken down and her closet is now empty. So I think she must've been cancelling so many sales that they deactivated all of her listings.
I hate cancelling sales, once I list something I don't even touch it. I cant believe people can list 100s of items they don't even own and hope they will eventually get them while having a pending sale! Now it makes sense why I see so many people complaining on the blogs that sales are either cancelled or taking 2 weeks to ship :/

Thank you for your input. Tradesy took her listing down! There is also a "Big Seller" doing this. Probably have a tie up with one of eBay's big Japanese seller. They are still on operation. So I am assuming, they are being allowed to do this.

Sorry to hear that. It's unclear if she has the bag in procession, why does she need to steal your pictures and description? either way it's unacceptable and good luck with reporting her.


it's against TOU to sell the item that you don't have. that's why it's wise to ask for additional pictures with some peculiar details, I totally understand when buyers do that and I always comply.

Thank you for your input. Tradesy took the listing down. She claimed in her message that she have the same identical bag that she cleaned but the bag in question was mine for she copy listed my entire posting. So if a buyer purchase the bag in her listing, it would be her bag that she will be sending using my entire posting.

I swear someone is waiting until I list something, then listing the same item for a dollar or two less!

Some sellers are really petty. It's just too much work watching what other sellers would do. Why not list it with an amount they are comfortable with and if not selling for awhile, lower it?

why so many people like to mention charity in order to show off and make lame excuses? Like those lady who purchased bags from alwayscoffee89
I need lower price cause it's for charity, I can't make my pictures cause of charity, I feel like you all owe me cause I work for charity.
I also spend money for charity, but even my closest friends don't always know it. It's not about being proud of yourself, it's about not to let your left hand know what your right hand does, isn't it??

Thank you for your input. Tradesy took her listing down! You are so right, Charity seems to be a popular excuse especially when caught or questioned.

Yea, I contacted Tradesy and they told me it was for authenticity issues. I'm just curious why people don't know this within the 4 day period. Why do you wait so long? I would have returned it the same day if I had any doubt.

But Tradesy was actually very nice and I'm not nervous about it anymore. I contacted the Ebay buyer that I originally bought it from and she said it was real, but if there were any problems that I could return it back to her and she would gladly refund me.

Hi there xxxxx,

The photos you have of your listing are awesome, and the price tag and authenticity cards etc. are great things for us to have and to know when evaluating a return. As long as our Returns team finds everything to be accurately represented and has found the item to be authentic with the provided information, you are in the clear. :)

Just keep an eye out in the meantime, and have a wonderful Sunday.
Thanks,

Peyton

If I buy a bag from a private seller I always have it authenticated especially when I'm reselling it. I always show a certificate of authentication in my listings. I think it eliminates problems like yours. Some people wait for a bag to arrive, take their own pictures and send them to have an item authenticated and maybe this is the reason why it took longer than 4 days for your buyer to return the bag. I hope you'll hear good news from Tradesy very soon :-)Good luck

I don't use auctions any more. I used to, but winners didn't pay in about half cases. When they buy it now, most of them pay same minute they purchased the item. it seems like these are 2 totally different categories - the ones who want to grab smth as cheap as possible on auctions (not all of them, but a lot) and the ones who just find what they need and buy it.

That's crazy, I did not realize there's no punishment for the winning bidders that don't pay..is there? I opened up a bunch of cases but none have been responded to.

I had the most annoying "buyer" this weekend....on a $800 LV.
Her- can you please add a modeling pic so I get an idea of the size?
me- ok added.
her- thanks, can you also add a pic of a wallet and a cell phone inside? where did you get it? when? why are you selling? are you the original owner?
me- ok added, blah blah blah answering all the Qs
her- Awesome! would you accept $425?

:doh::doh:

Oh yeah, I hate those buyers. Ask a bunch of questions and then offer a price that is below what you are asking.

I don't know where people get this mindset that because you ask a lot of questions it is a green light to ask for a lower offer. Do they think that asking for a lot of questions will build rapport with the seller and soften the seller up to bargain? Because it doesn't work for me! :yucky:

I know this is a different consignment shop but didn't want to start a whole new thread...has anyone purchased from Bag Borrow or Steal??

Not with them. but I was surprised to find out TheRealReal increased their commission to 40% recently (used to be 30%). for example they priced my BNWT Mulberry bag for $450 and paid me $240 (retailed for $1650. BNWT and plastic covers). #charity

Annoying. but you know the more traffic the better. oftentimes someone is lowballing and asks all the details about a bag and another buyer just snatches it on the next day. traffic and Qs are good:)
