Yeah I don't keep a balance for that reason and i don't link to PayPal. He didn't even return it because it wasn't as listed. And when I contacted them they wouldn't budge. Normally in this scenario it goes to their "penny lane" account which is where they resell returns. They told me i had it listed "like new" but their in house jeweler noticed microscopic scratches. Lesson- never list as new.

This is so shady. Your buyer had it for a month, your buyer could had easily put scratches on it.
Also their listing options are in need of revamping. An item can be new even with scratches or marks, etc. Tradsey needs to have an option for new with defects etc. kind of along the lines of what eBay does because lots of items from boutiques and I n stores are moved around, touched and handled by customers and associates and can easily get marked or scratched, and just because they are doesn't mean that they are not new.

I will do this right now!
If I have a paypal account or a credit card linked to my account for purchases, can they use that to potentially withdraw money? Meaning, do I have to remove my payment methods as well to be safe?

Payment method you have in Tradesy account is for buying only. Withdrawal method is for selling only and the two shall never meet or they'll be commitimg wire fraud. They can try to claw back funds from a sale since they can allege that you weren't entitled to it in the first place, but they cannot make you BUY your own item back and charge it to your cc/PayPal as it'd be unauthorized transaction.

Tradesy has been doing this for a while now, since maybe the summer now? Every return will get a 360 review even though the buyer didn't object to anything like yours didn't. And if they don't like what they see, they'll punt it back to you so that it won't sit in their closets. I once got a return from them and the reason was because I described the fabric lining of a Givenchy bag as black instead of dark brown, never mind that what the buyer wanted to know was its authenticity and it was confirmed as genuine.
