Ladies, is there a way to send a buyer additional pictures? One of my bags sold and I confirmed the sale. Now buyer is contacting me for more pictures. I am fine about showing her more pictures (even though I posted plenty) but how? We can't exchange emails and I can't edit the posting to add more pictures. I have not shipped the item.

As Gems Berry posted above, I have created another listing with the additional photos when a buyer asked for previously. However, I would list it for a high amount so that no one else actually tries to buy it. The listing I did this for was a Chanel GST and I marked the additional listing for $2,000 just randomly. The funny part was that I left the listing up for a while because if there was any problem with the sale I wanted Tradesy to be able to see the additional photos. It was literally one close-up picture of a corner and that is it. I think I had more interest in inquiries about that listing than any other one I've had! People were (very politely) asking if I could please add some other photos, they were offering me $1,800...etc, I got way more interest on that one photo listing than on the actual bag (which I sold for much less)!
 
I don't think Tradesy is advertising it but I'm guessing you might have been searching or browsing a grocery store (maybe not Safeway) but it brings up other advertisements that are related to your searches.

The crazy thing is that not only do our computers/phones record of what we type in as a search, but they also listen to our conversations. My husband and I have separate phone plans but he has been talking to me lately about buying raised beds for the garden. I noticed yesterday that my Instagram feed is full of ads for raised beds and I have never search for this myself!

I'll do a search on my laptop and I'll get ads for similar items on my phone and tablet.

haha, I swear I haven't browsed Safeway or any other grocery. maybe it's was based on activity of similar google users or something. I wonder what else can pop up there like X-rated content :wtf:

That's creepy!
 
You probably are signed into your Google account on all your devices.
Yes that's it. If you never log out of any website you log into - they can just track all your activity and if you don't change your settings to refuse cookies or to make them disappear when you close your browser, they remain forever on your devices. Also they can be monitoring the IP address if you use it over the same wifi.
 
I don't know why my sales have been better lately. There are times when everyone else here is selling tons and mine just sit there. Now they aren't on moving much on ebay, but are selling well on Tradesy, which is why I'm rethinking my plan to remove all under $50 items. I'll probably still remove most of the under $30 items or make combination listings for them. I sell purses, scarves, keychains, wallets, etc. Most are cheaper brands like Coach and Fossil. Once in awhile, I have a premium brand.
LOL - I only just found about the flat rate fee but I see it was annouced on ecommerce awhile ago so maybe people figured they'd better grab your items now before you take them down! I imagine all the cheap crap in Tradesy's closets will start to move now because less competition for them. So after they unload their own inventory - they'll wake up and realize all the sellers left .

Very interesting. This solves the mystery at my house.

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.
I'd like clarification on the above.

Does the part in red mean that if you list an item at the minimum $10, you'll pay $7.50 (75%) commission when it sells?
