Finally got a sale today!
First in 2 1/2 weeks. It was an LV item that I probably priced too low considering it got 54 likes in the 3 days it was listed. Anyway I'm just happy I have some movement in my closet. [emoji106]

Congratulations!! I hope that means things are going to turn around for me too! Today someone on ebay offered me less than 50% for an item because she noticed it has been listed awhile and hasn't sold. I told her I wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate its value.

I agree. I try to be reasonable with my prices but I'll keep them before I just give them away.

Hey guys! I sold a purse today and need some advice. I listed it just to see what would happen. I have an authentic Chanel VIP gift that is a crossbody purse. It does not have a serial number which I mentioned in my listing.

It sold immediately, but I'm concerned that the buyer will return it. I sent her a message making sure she read the listing in full and is aware that it is a VIP gift. From what I have researched you can't authenticate a VIP gift. Am I better just to cancel this sale and keep it on my own? I don't want to risk losing my closet because of this.

It's possibly too late for this now, but in a case like this where there's an abberation from the norm, I believe it's worth $7.50 investment to get a professional documentation of authenticity. You don't need to long form; just the basic to show authenticity.

Actually, in thinking about it, you might get that documentation anyway and forward it to the buyer for both your and her peace of mind.

People authenticate VIP items? Do you recommend anyone?

My thought is the buyer knew exactly what the bag was and that he/she found a gem. Very rare and special bag thus the quick sale. Try not to worry. I bet the buyer will either cherish the bag or turn around and sell it as a resale.
If you have any issues I would have etincelers authenticate the bag. I really think this won't be a problem for you as a serious Chanel buyer would love this exceptional piece[emoji847]

I don't see why not. If they're authentic, whether GWT or a full priced item, it's still either Chanel or not.

I bought this beautiful Louis Vuitton Lumineuse Empriente Plum bag a week ago for a STEAL!! $780 and brand new condition. I've been wanting one soo bad and I couldn't wait to use it and call it mine. Probably, the first bag that I didn't plan on turning around and selling. I've worked hard and wanted to spoil myself.

I asked when it would ship and she said as soon as she gets the shipping kit (yuck, I don't know why they even have this feature anymore). So a week later, I asked her if she got the kit yet and she said "Just heard from Tradesy and they are wondering why I haven't already shipped it to you so I explained that I had requested a shipping kit for all the obvious reasons to include your address so I have sent them another email and I will stay on this I promise. So sorry for this delay"

I guess she never heard back from them because today she wrote "I am cancelling with Tradesy. Communication is too difficult. Plan to list it on The Real Real. Sorry"

This always happens to me with the dumb shipping kit. It never comes and the seller always has to request another one and the sale ends up getting cancelled because the seller is inpatient and just wants to sell the bag.

I'm bummed.

I don't know what and why they are doing there!!!
Just sold the shoes 30 minutes ago, very expensive ones. Gave my buyer $300 discount and she bought them for $1700. I saw it, the price was 1700 during transaction, and the buyer confirmed she paid in full.
And now when I look at my sold items, it seems like the shoes were on sale and were sold for $1666!!!
Sale confirmation e-mail says "This item sold during a limited-time price drop at 2% off". That is NOT true, there wasn't any price drops and all my items are full priced at the moment. And it's never 2%, it's 5 regarding to my settings.
So they just decided I want to share another 2% or what? Buyer paid full amount and I will get 1666 minus 18%!!! I am so pissed off!!!!!

I had the same thing happen!! I listed a bag and within 2 minutes it sold for what I listed it for, $400. Next day I get an email saying it sold during the sale for $380. It didn't even have a chance to go on sale, listing was up for about 2minutes! I called tradesy and they said they I opted in for sales and some items go on sale immediately when I list. I sent them a screenshot of the "sold for $400" and they emailed me with the same copy and past paragraph explaining how to opt out of sales. I'll call them tomorrow.
