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.

Tradsey payouts are so ridiculously long these days, it's taking seven business days to hit my bank account [emoji19]
after you click transfer button, they are holding funds until 5th or maybe even 6th business day now to look good on paper.
 
Has anybody mentioned, not only it takes almost a week for cc/ba deposit, Tradesy deposit is recorded 1-2 days prior to the actual date it's made. I mean if I look at my bank transactions I see nothing today, no pending transactions, then when I check it the next day I can see Tradesy deposit with yesterday date. can they manipulate date somehow?

Perhaps they deposit after bank hours. It wouldn't show up yesterday if they did the transfer, let's say at 7pm PST, but it would definitely post the following day, however, showing that a deposit was made to your account the previous day.

Makes perfect sense! and if it was on Fri night it won't show until Tue.
these are additional 1-2 days to 4-5-day period when they hold deposit after transfer request was made.
 
I listed some of my more expensive purses on Vestaire Collective and one is pending offer negotiation and the other they wanted an invoice that I don't have. But the one purse that was accepted has gotten so many offers already! The only bad thing about this site is the commission, holy cow!! BAD!! This purse has been on Tradesy for awhile and the first day I list it on VC, someone wants to buy it. And I had the price really high!

I attended a bridal shower last weekend and someone mentioned Tradesy (women were talking about designer clothing) and all the women started saying "it's a scam", "I bought a fake Gucci on there and they told me it's real", "never again" and I was the ONLY ONE defending it. Tradesy has such a bag rep its not even funny. If you google "tradesy reviews" over 500 complains show up on the first page of google. What sucks is that 40% of those bad reviews are people who have zero knowledge of designer items and just assume they're fake and other 60% are Tradesy's horrible CS.
After hearing 12 random women talking about Tradesy it became clear why my sales are SO slow lately lol

It's a pain to list there, but things sell much faster. They have a tiered commission x% from $a to $b, y% from $b to $c, and so on), so it's really painfully high until you get over $7,000 or so, then it gets better than Tradesy.

To be honest, that they even have customer service is a feature that other resellers rarely offer. granted it's not like you're calling Saks/NM and can expect swift resolution. when I first joined 2 years ago, I relied on phone CS more until I got a hang of the platform, and now I just email them and from my experience, I always get a response 24-48 hours later. I think ppl need to have patience these days. they did help me out tremendously late last year when I stupidly mixed up two parcels of high value items, and the parcels had to go back to Tradesy before they can be switched around and resent to the rightful buyers. all in all probably took a solid two weeks of constant emails and waiting, but in the end the buyers loved their purchases and I got to keep the sales. they didn't even charge me again for the second round of shipping. I gave them high marks for collaborating to solve a difficult problem involving a lot of hands.

the part about buyers not educating themselves on fakes vs real is totally true though. it's much easier to call out a replica than to take the time to learn why it is so. in this regard, Tradesy is no different from eBay, VC, TRR etc. the same sellers tend to be on several platforms.
