I have 70. April was my slowest month ever, first week of may I had a sale a day and now back to maybe 2 sales a week. I hope this isn't the new normal.
How much do you normally sell? I usually have under 20 items and April was a nice month for me! I think I sold 4-5 things.
WAIT. I meant May was a good month, so far 4, but they were nice sales. April I only sold 1 cheap thing. March I sold 5.
wow, that's horrible! I never had that happen to me, they usually sound like 17yr old chill high school grads that are trying to get me off the phone to hit the beach.
I'm not sure how it is now but last year I looked at the job openings they had at tradesy and of course part time CS was one of them. Guess what the compensation was.....HEALTH INSURANCE and benefits. LITERALLY. You work answering the phones and you don't even get minimum wage, you only get health insurance. I'm not sure how that's legally possible but I think it had something to do with being an independent contractor or something.
I sold 4 things already in May on Tradesy. The month started out great but now there is nothing. I usually sell between 15-30 items a month across all platforms. Ebay is dead for me too. About 1/3 of my items are under $50. I had no idea they were marked final sale. I just raised a few of them to $50.01.
with 50-65 listings (rarely do I go up to 70) I average a sale a day. There are some weeks with no sales at all but then there are sale weekends when I sell 3-4 items a day. My price range is $200-$2,000. I think I have a couple of wallets and shoes for 190 but nothing cheaper.
Ebay has been really dead, maybe people are saving money before the summer, who knows. I thought that bags would be in higher demand in the spring/summer but maybe im wrong
No, they make a salary. Just checked online. Benefits are included. They have pretty awesome benefits with catered lunches and a dog friendly office. They make close to $36k a year. That's where our money is going.
On tradesy website under careers all of them have "competitive salary" listed under compensation except the CS. Under CS They only list "Comprehensive benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k)". So I assume that means no salary, no?
It could also mean "non-competitive salary" which could translate to minimum wage.
I speculated as much, that Tradesy will eliminate returns below certain thresholds. it's just way too labor intensive to process/accept/store returned items. wouldn't be surprised that the limit will eventually creep up to $300-500 range to qualify for returns.
How do you like this?
I sold the shoes 4 days ago. Tradesy sent me e-mail, I confirmed sale, printed shipping label and sent it the next day. Everything as usual.
And now I've accidentally noticed that those shoes are for sale in my closet, like those sale never happened, nothing in my sales or payouts. USPS shows that the package is shipped on time and on it's way to buyer!!!!

OMG! How could this happen?!! Doubly annoying is that you can't get anyone to talk to about it now!
