Oh okay, thanks. But there is a PP fee if you don't do F&F? How can I protect myself as a seller on a Facebook page?

How expensive an item are you selling? If you were the buyer, would you be as willing to relinquish any protection just so your seller (and possibly you, by extension) could save a few bucks?

Also keep in mind that should the transaction go south, your name/facebook can be trashed. For what, the savings of 3%?

I wouldn't do it myself (as a buyer) nor make my buyer risk her protection.

I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear though.

I second that. I just had a transaction that went horribly wrong (not selling or buying but for re-dying service) when merchant went MIA with my Prada bag after 6 months. at least I was able to recover money through PayPal that I paid for this "service", even though it was not through my PayPal account, I just paid by CC using PayPal page (the jerk couldn't send me invoice to correct email, probably deliberately so). PayPal issued me refund just before 6 months window closed, luckily it was not f/f transaction and it was covered by buyer protection.

I think you misunderstood, I want protection.

I'm selling Chanel's so over $1,800. One is almost $4,000. I don't want to do F&F, I want to go through Paypal. I'm just wondering how it protects me on my end. I know how they protect the buyer, but what if this person tries to do a switch-a-roo or make damage to my purse?

Does this look fake to anyone? The font of the serial numbers are throwing me off.

Speaking of fakes, when you see them on Tradesy, don't you just want to send a nasty message to that person?! They are trying to rip someone off. I hate it.

Authenticity requests are best posted on the appropriate AT (authenticate this) thread, however I will comment on the serial number.

Bag(s) with that serial number have been questioned and/or (un)authenticated on TPF several times. Based on the posts, these were different bags and/or styles

Thanks. Looks like someone bought it so hopefully they know how to tell the difference. I'm pretty positive it's fake. But don't want to report it to Tradesy just in case it's not.

Beware of Tradesy seller nuni @Nunisboutique

All her pictures in her listings are stolen from other sellers, mostly ebay. She even has the nerve to steal watermarked pictures.

These are just a few examples.

Her listing: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-shoulder-bag-3-color-signature-21708754/?tref=category
Stolen from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Coach-A...body-Bag-F18453-Light-Khaki-NEW-/252990078831

Her listing: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-shoulder-bag-blackgrey-signature-19341307/?tref=closet
Stolen from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ssn=thecoachexpress&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=signature

Her listing: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-hobo-bag-mahoganykhaki-sig-19399580/?tref=closet

Out of curiosity, I went to search on Tradesy for what has recently sold. I sorted by "Recently Listed" and "Sold Out" for the Coach category, a brand they say is one of their top sellers. I sold an item on the 3 of July, and there have been 20 sales after that encompassing shoes, purses, accessories, etc. So that's only 20 recently listed listings in the category that sold within 10 days. All low value sales.

Either Tradesy makes more off listings that sit for weeks into months on end, or really nobody is buying on tradesy anymore.

I think their search engines are just messes up...I doubt they would sell so little.

Ugh, I'm freaking out now. I sold a LV bag for $500 before 4th of july weekend when I was on vaca. I didn't set up my closet on away since I was gone for 7 days. I shipped out the bag on the 8th day and a day after shipping (usps already had it "accepted" in their system) I get an email from tradesy that the buyer cancelled and not to ship. I called them and they said she was able to cancel on the 8th day because I had 7 to ship. ok, fine, but it took them a day to send me the email and in the meantime I had already shipped. So now she got the bag yesterday morning, tradesy emailed her twice asking to ship it back to me and she's not responding. And they already refunded her card once she cancelled. UGHHHH

Tradesy is dead.
Nobody buying anything & I'm the first to admit my prices are way high because of Tradesy's new commission so I wouldn't buy them either.
Back on ebay - as much as I hate the E word and have had serious issues with the platform in the past - at least the low end things are selling.
I still don't sell alot on Ebay but I've at least sold a couple things over the past month - Tradesy has been dead to me since March - April.
I plan on setting up a shop on Mercari but just haven't had the time. Will let ya'll know how that goes when I do.
