It happened again yesterday. I want to report Tradesy to the California Attorney General but how can I prove what they did? Maybe if enough people file complaints they will look into it.

I guess the only way to avoid this happening is to opt out of the sales.

If you opt in sales, you are giving them permission to set your items on sale at Tradesy's discretion. BUT I don't get why they took 1% or 2%. I'm really confused. The only opt in are 5% or 10% or 15%.

It has to be a weird glitch. It hasn't happened to me, yet. I've sold 3 things in the past couple weeks.

Yes, I took a video of the bag in detail and then continued to video it as I wrapped it up and had a serial tag on it, so I had documented it from my end, however when they said there were undisclosed scuffs and so on I became worried that the buyer may have scuffed it in order to get a refund vs Tradesy credit. She seemed totally above board, and from her message to me it seemed like she was returning it because it was a different style dust bag than she wanted with the bag, but when Tradesy got it back they said it was misrepresented because of undisclosed damages so I got worried. It came back to me perfect thank goodness!

lad to hear it came undamaged, but it looks like Tradesy made up an excuse not to keep an expensive item in their closet. it seems it comes in waives, if their closets are too full they make any excuses to ship items to sellers, once it's cleaned a bit they keep and relist returns that are as described.

I'm back from a trip and was surprised to find out that you can't access Tradesy from some countries. they canceled my sale because I couldn't confirm it. I asked them what's the point to block the access for existing members, if I can confirm the sale and ship it in 10-day period? their response was that the site is blocked in China and they are not going to make any changes. damn, I was not in China but whatever.

I'm glad you are relieved but It sounds like Tradesy fraud to me. Frankly they have an agreement with sellers that sellers get to keep the profits from their sales unless they misrepresent an item and honestly, to me a misrepresentation isn't even a slight, undisclosed flaw. If you say gently used - they should expect flaws. Period. And for Tradesy to say it was misrepresented for an undisclosed flaw is bad enough - but when that flaw doesn't even exist - really that's fraud. They aren't holding up their end of the bargain.

so sorry:( I opted out since then. I think they might legally secure themselves from such complains updating user's agreement or smth. cause in other case it's just stealing

I thought so too, but unfortunately it's not a glitch. it happened many times to diff sellers, and when I messaged them explaining all the situation, they kept answering that the order processed without any errors. I asked 5 times why my buyer paid full price then? and they ignored my question. all 5 times. so I am sure they KNOW what they are doing:(
