Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Talking about deposits, it's 7th day now and counting, money is still being transferred. Tomorrow is weekend, meaning it will be 10th day the earliest when it's deposited. which gives us total of 14 business days since the buyer received the item. Probably Tradesy is heading to direction of biweekly payments to sellers like in VC and RealReal. actually, it's already biweekly, never mind their "3-5 business days".
 
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!
Yikes! Are you saying that Vestiaire Collective isn't able to authenticate an item based on the merits of that item? Do they really believe that an invoice or a receipt proves authenticity? I can't count the number of authentic receipts (and other props) I've seen in listings for blatant fakes on various sites. I've also seen authentic item listings where the seller unknowingly shows fake props.

Plus they (VC) must be aware that their clients may not be the original owner and won't have the original receipt (even if it helped prove anything).

Not that VC authenticators don't make mistakes, but what she is referring to is the convoluted process of listing an item. Some random employee has to view the submission to approve it before it can be listed (takes about a day if they accept it without issues). Usually they want you to change a couple of photos for some unknown reason (it will say why, but they don't make sense a lot of the time), they usually want to negotiate your selling price with you (varies by up to 50% for the same item, it just depends on the employee who is viewing it. It is a 6 step "offer" process to get the price agreement for your listing. I know this because sometimes after the 6 offers/counter offers - 3 from me and 3 from VC - I will decline their last offer. About 1/3 of the time I will get a better offer with my next attempt with the same item and same photos if I attempt to submit it a second or third time). Anyway, to answer the question, they do not authenticate prior to the item selling, only...sometimes they do....or attempt to, but it just depends on the employee viewing it how picky they are and what supporting documents they ask for. It's really just a random process.

How aggravating!



Even though you're probably right, why force the sale? Buyer will probably just return it, seller will have to wait for her to return it, hopefully in the same condition sent, within a reasonable amount of time, all of which is totally in the buyer's control. Not worth it. I'd cancel the sale.

Cancel, cancel,cancel!
 
Recently I sold a pretty expensive bag, and the buyer sent me some messages today to ask me if I am willing to buy the bag back so she could get money back instead of getting Tradesy store credit since the bag had no any issues. She said there were no any issues about bag just because she bought 2 bags at the same and she cannot afford it! Then I refused to buy it back so she threatening me about filing a misrepresentation claim which to claim about odor smell of the bag.
The bag is brand new, never been carried, never been used, no odor of perfume ,the only smell is brand new bag. I already video recorded the packaging process. So anyone please help me. This is a really unacceptable behavior, just because she couldn't afford the bag and wanted to get her money back then she started to lie :(

Was the message through Tradesy's messaging system? If so, call them and explain the situation and her admission that she'd spent too much. They can look at the messages sent through their system.
 
Yes, all the messages through Tradesy's. I think I will call them up tomorrow morning. Now the buyer insisted that bag has some odor.
Make sure you call and have the CS person read through all of the messages and make a note on your account so when the item comes back to the return team (separate from the CS people) they know exactly what's going on.
