I hear that & couldn't agree more. Problem is - what other platform is there? Etsy was a waste of time for me because of all the personal info they required before I could use their payment platform so I wound up just using paypal with their 6 month return policy that I hated but other than money orders, there wasn't another way. Didn't matter though because not only did not sell anything, my items got almost no views but all these other sellers started following me so I guess they wanted to keep an eye on the new competitor. The only other one that looks promising to me now is Mercari so I will have to set up a shop there with a dozen or so items until I get a feel for how it works. But its so time consuming & I just didn't have the time. That's the one decent thing about Tradesy - once you do your listings you can just leave them and forget them until you something (somewhere else - LOL) or donate it and have to go back to delete it. Unless they remove it & then your inventory is lost. That's a big headache with Ebay - your old listings don't keep from one month to the next if you don't relist them and you have to remember what you had to sell & recreate the whole damn listing again. So much more to life than that.!!!!

I'm just thinking about getting quotes from FP, AFF's, BBS etc....Yes, I'm with you, it's time consuming & Tradsey is more convenient as a listing service but from other members stories, it sounds like their CS maybe going down hill. I think I'll do it little by little so it doesn't seem overwhelming & I agree, there's more to life than getting this done. If I have luck, I'll let the thread know. I wish you luck.

Two weeks ago I had someone ask me to sell a $2600 nwt bag for $900, I politely declined saying that I could not sell a $2600 bag for $900 dollars. Fast forward to today and she messaged me again asking me to sell it for 750! Errrr [emoji848] if I wasn't going to sell it for 900 why when I sell it for 750?! *face palm*

LOL - they do this all the time. Their thinking is that since your item didn't sell - and its STILL taking up space - you must be DESPERATE to unload it & willing to take even less now because its still there. I've actually told a buyer who said something to me like that - "it's not in my way. Its stored in the back of my actual closet - which is a closet I rarely even use - which is why its for sale but if it doesn't sell - so what? Eventually, I'll get around to using it again or giving it to family or friends or taking the tax write off and donating it when & if I ever need the room. Whatever. And YOU are neither family nor friend. Have a nice day. "

Happy 4th everybody!
it seems to be inflow of lowballers today since people have free time on their hands. I politely respond that no, I can't accept your offer, Chanel is not getting any cheaper, in fact it gets more expensive.

I wish I had just cancelled when I had my problem buyer. It's been 10 days now and on payout it says "pending customer service review". I just hope the buyer didn't damage the bag or make a switch to get a refund. It was a Louis Vuitton handbag that I had only used about 4 times. It was just too small for my needs. I sold it at $600 off the price I paid. It looked brand new , with box, ribbon and receipt. Next time it feels like drama I'll just go on and cancel. It's not worth it.

Just wanted to update that Tradesy finally released my funds. I'm glad because I described my handbag accurately and the color was in the item title and the bag looks exactly like the photos ...yet the buyer returned because she wants a grey bag , wth? :/

Hi all,

This question might have been addressed somewhere in the thread but I couldn't find it - I made a fairly sizable purchase on Tradesy (my first purchase) and the sale is "pending". It has been pending for awhile. I'm not sure what this means? Is it no longer pending once the product is shipped? Or does the seller have to approve the purchase in some way? After reading above that Tradesy never notified a seller of a buy, I wonder if I should send a note to the seller myself?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!

I think it would be smart to notify the seller (especially during the summer, perhaps they are on vacation), then they can confirm the sale is that is the issue. If they have already confirmed, I would contact Tradesy to see if they need to verify your billing info, since some new buyers need to be verified before the purchase goes through.

Tradesy is starting to drive me a little crazy. My funds were held pending return inspection on an absolutely brand spanking new Gucci bag with all the accessories. To their credit it seems they released my funds the second they got the bag back and looked at it.

But then today I noticed a pair of Valentino sandals had been removed from my closet. They were in "Removed listings" but I hadn't had any notice nor were they sold. It was OK since I was actually there to remove them since I got a decent offer from Fashionphile but otherwise I wouldn't have known.

Just now I notice another pair of shoes missing from my closet without any notice. There's nothing under "open sales" but the loafers appear under "sold items". I just got a message from someone who wants to negotiate on the bag that matches the shoes so maybe they bought the shoes and it hasn't been confirmed yet? Maybe? I just wish there was some consistency or heck even logic to their system. I have no idea what's going on!

I had this happen. A purse was removed from my closet and it was under "removed listings". I don't know how that happen because I didn't remove it. I just put it back into active listings.

Also, I had listed a purse and it had sold within seconds. It was marked under "sold items," but I never got a notice. An hour later, it was back in my closet for sale. I assumed something went wrong with the buyer's payment. Until...she messaged me and asked why I cancelled the sale. I told her I didn't cancel and that she should reach out to Tradesy to see what happened and if it was her form of payment or address or whatever. She said that her form of payment would not decline and she would reach out to them. That same bag has now 60 likes in 2 days and I would have sold it if Tradesy didn't cancel the sale without any warning to anyone. I think they should tell the buyer/seller when this happens.

Well, I did end up getting a sale confirmation late last night so that's what happened with the loafers. As for the sandals that disappeared I didn't bother asking since I was there to remove them anyway. I certainly hope someone wasn't trying to buy them because if so they're out of luck! You're right, though. When Tradesy runs into problems with processing an order they should notify both parties automatically. I feel like I have to watch my closet like a hawk to make sure there are no issues.

What's crazy is that bag went missing from my closet again! It wasn't in sold items this time. Just completely gone. Not anywhere. I had to make the listing all over again. What the heck?!

I swear Tradesy raised their commission to benefit THEM and THEIR sales. Not us. I mean, did you get the email that said, "Why spend $1,200 on a Louis Vuitton, when you can get one here for $200". That is so misleading and kinda turning buyers away from our sales. Show me a $200 LV that is in good shape and sought after. Usually they are older, wrecked and worn for that price.
