Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Does it give you any clue why when you look at your Payouts page?
No, not at all. It just says pending. It is a premium designer, which I don't usually sell. I wonder if that makes a difference.

ETA: If a buyer sends something in to get authenticated, does it stay in your closet?

I am pissed right now. A seller has stolen my photos. We have the same handbag for sale and she is using my photos.

On Tradesy? They have instructions somewhere on their site on what to email them and they will remove the photos. I had this happen and they removed them right away.
Somewhere in this thread, I have a post that tells how to file an infringement claim (DMCA) on Tradesy.

I'll look for it.

ETA: Here you go.

I recently had someone return an item to Tradesy and my funds were not released after the 4th day but it was still in my closet. I emailed Tradesy and they gave me a vague response about it being returned and funds pending inspection..they made it sound like a not as claimed return, but no details. I waited a few days and my funds were released and it was in Tradesy's closet.

That is nerve wracking!
 
how do you deal with the "ship on this day or cancel" buyers? I usually travel on weekends and once I leave my house Thursday evening, im not back till Monday. I had someone buy a bag Thursday late night and an hour after buying she messaged me saying "please make sure the bag gets to me by Tuesday as I leave on a vacation and there wont be anyone to sign after". UGH. That gives me literally one day to ship. I know I don't have to cancel, but I feel bad when they ask to cancel and I say no.
Friday I had another buyer purchase, and THEN ask me to ship the same day because she's also leaving on vaca. So now I have two pissed off buyers. Both are chanels over 2k each.

I`ve had buyers say the same thing to me. Unless I promised them I would ship the same day BEFORE they purchased it then I would just ship it as soon as I can.

UGH. HELP!
I sold a bag and shipped on 1st. Today I get a message from my buyer asking me for an invoice for a lower amount because she is in Bulgaria and doesn't want to pay customs. WTF, I sent this to FLORIDA.. As it turns out Tradsey doesn't ship there so she re-directed it to her MY USPS account and they won't forward it onto Bulgaria without a merchants receipt. What the hell do I do?

It sounds like that is Tradesy's problem, not yours. She should contact Tradesy for the merchants receipt. You can contact Tradesy yourself and explain what is happening. I believe you have already done all you need to do. Did you use Tradesy's label? If it gets returned, it will go to Tradesy, not you.

I'd ship both. It's not your problem.

Just invoice the price she paid. Anything else would be dishonest.

Yes Tradesy's label. I will contact them during my lunch hour.

This is one thing that really burns my a$$! I have had this happen countless times, not that they asked cancel but ask me to ship it because they need it by a certain date AFTER They purchase. I don't understand why buyers do this, shipping requests or questions should be asked prior to purchase. Tradesy allows up to seven days for a seller to ship an item, not only that but the buyer should ask when you can ship it before they purchase if they need it by a certain date or are in a rush. I would not cancel because buyers like this need to learn that they need to ask questions before they purchase.

I haven't made a sale in over three weeks, the longest ever on Tradsey. Ugh! So much for improvements with the commission increase.
Mine have been good, comparatively. I'm making more sales on Tradesy than anywhere else. In less than 2 weeks, I've had 6 Tradesy sales. I've only had 3 ebay sales in the same time. I sold another one of my under $50 items last night, probably because I lowered the prices on several of these just to clear them out. I think the feature where Tradesy sends potential buyers an email telling them that items on their favorites list have dropped in price has helped.
