Seriously? I just changed my suede bag's description to leather because they didn't like suede.I have all materials listed correctly and I still received this email. For leather bag with leather lining their suggestion was "suede".
Reputable in what sense? Penny Lane is one of Tradesy's closets selling off returned items. Have they been known to list fakes and lie about condition? From what I have read here the answer would be yes
Penny Lane is one of Tradesy's own closets where they resell returned items.
I've seen fakes in some of Tradesy's closets where they relisted returned items that weren't authentic. Whether their authenticating team erred or whether they didn't bother authenticating is unknown.

Just got this policy change notice re commissions. 
Sorry if it has been posted before. Wonder if the cut off price includes shipping
Thank you so much for being a valued part of the Tradesy community. We’re writing to tell you about our new minimum commission policy.
Starting at 12 AM PDT on May 10, 2017, all sold items less than $50 will incur a flat commission fee of $7.50. Sold items more than $50 will remain at our existing 14.9% commission rate. This change will not affect any sales prior to May 10th.
As a result, Tradesy will now require a minimum selling price of $10 for all new listings. Please note, any listings you currently have under $10 will remain at our existing commission rate and will not be impacted by the $7.50 minimum commission fee.

That pretty much eliminates selling any of my cheaper clothing.
By the same logic, since they provide the same support for an expensive item as for a cheap item, there should be an upper commission cap.

It does say SELLING PRICE so that would be before shipping is added is my take. It's inevitable that Tradesy and others would start heading in this direction, low value items don't justify the expense especially when return is factored in.
Eventually I predict that they may even curtail the return policy with a cutoff value whatever that may be ($100/$500) to reduce their own closet inventory and expenses. Seriously when a $20 item is returned what could they possible do without either letting it sit around for 3 months or give it away? Prolly cheaper to donate than to hold on to it, allocate shelf space, staffing etc. they seem to be on mission to reign in expenses.

If you are using their label, it would be before shipping. If you are using your own shipping, it would be the total price you charge, since you pay commission on shipping in that case. So if you have an item that you price at $40 and use Tradesy's label, currently you'll pay $5.96 in commission. That will be raised to $7.50.
Geeze......................is the writing on the wall, so to speak?
First they raise their commission to 14.9%. then they boot a bunch of sellers out of Business status (or whatever it's called), then a possible 21 day hold on dispersal of funds, then they raise the shipping rate and now this? On a $20 item they would be taking over 35%
Does any of this sound like a going (out of business) concern?

Yeah, I wonder. My sales have gotten worse since the commission increase. I really hate all of this bs about 'we will raise your prices and fees and hold your funds and you will LOVE it! It will be so good!" Seems to be a thing lately.
