Good luck! Let us know what you find out from Tradesy. I think that international sales are final on Tradesy, so once there is proof of delivery to the address she gave you should be OK.

Thanks! So apparently the address is a known forwarding place. They told me to tell her I had no access to that information and should contact Tradesy. Hopefully they will help me out.

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.
If she had contacted you before buying it would be somehow reasonable, you could say no. I hate these "btw" messages after the order is placed, it's up to you to ship it or to cancel. I would ship it, if she can't sign for it for a week the package should go back (to Tradesy). email them and they should release your funds and list this bag in their closet. Keep an eye on tracking.
 
Are you sure this is true? I've never been charged a rounded amount, just what I owe.

ETA: Maybe you are confusing it with Bonanza?
by rounding I meant amounts they charge 25, 50, 100. Usually people complain in forums that it's larger amount than they owe, nobody complained that they are underpaying :) at the end of the day Etsy charges what you owe with adjustments, but when people have to pay more for this month they don't like it.

I've never had any adjustments and I've always only been charged what I owe, and never in advance. For example, my last bill was for 80 cents for 4 listings, no sales, and that is what I paid. I still don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that if your amount owed is close to the threshold but below, they will charge you the threshold amount?

You are right about actual amount, if you exceed threshold of $25, 50 etc Etsy charges your card the actual amount (threshold+exceeded amount).
rolling to next month is for more complex matters like refunds, voiding labels etc. when you were billed and charged via autobilling, part of refunded fees doesn't go back to your cc, it will roll onto the next month.

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 think so too! Most of the buyers have no idea that we have 7 days to ship out though. They act like its Amazon prime. Also, on tradesy website it still says sellers have 10 days to ship (at least it said that a couple of months ago). I bought something 8 days ago and still don't see the option to cancel, so is it 7 or 10?
 
I haven't made a sale in over three weeks, the longest ever on Tradsey. Ugh! So much for improvements with the commission increase.
Sorry to hear that. My April was the slowest month. So far May has been good, pretty much a sale everyday.
I had an item listed since December, took it down and relisted for $10 less. Sold within 2 days! so I guess re-listing DOES WORK! :amazed::amazed::biggrin::biggrin:(from $210 to 199).

I used to do that so my items would appear first in the search. It didn't seem to help much. I stopped doing it a long time ago. Most of my sales are on items that have been listed quite awhile.

Oh, I see. Those are rare situations that never happen to me.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. You helped me a lot!
 
Today was the fourth day for one of my sales but my money wasn't released. It is still showing as sold and in my closet.

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.
Today my item is in Tradesy's closet so I guess it was returned.
 
No, not yet. It's still showing as not available.

ETA: I'm a little worried that my buyer used it for the weekend and is returning it in worse condition. It is a white bag so it would be easy to damage it.

I hope not!
Is your item listed in Tradesy's closet as "sold out/not available" or for sale? If it is for sale then you should be good to go. The last time I had a return was awhile ago, but the timeline was: sold/in my closet, sold/not available in Tradesy's closet, for sale in Tradesy's closet, a few days later my funds were released.
