Yes I did. It must have been more than a week ago because I have more items in my closet now. The numbers are dismal, if the time period is more than a week. I have just a little more views than I have items, and since apparently 11 of those views are of my most popular item, that means many items aren't getting seen at all.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I listed an item on Tradesy and ebay about a week ago. On ebay it has had 104 views and 7 favorites. Not a single favorite on Tradesy. There is so little activity on Tradesy. I bet they don't show you how many views you've gotten because it is so low.
True, posh is busy but people ask ridic Qs and keep bugging you. they demand additional images even though ALL the pictures with details and codes for authentication are already posted. then they never buy or they make you an insulting offer. I stopped posting mod pictures because such requests never come from serious buyers. But small things are moving fast on Posh. Huge traffic.

I didn't, what's that? I just got a pop up asking if some of my old items are still available.
Exactly. There is a great Posh fb group where I learned a lot though. Share listings every hour, follow 1k people a day, never decline an offer, etc. Basically treat it as a full time job and sales will come haha
I must say though, the "always counteroffer" thing is so true. Sometimes I get crazy low offers, counter and they come back with double of what they initially offered. I guess to feel out the seller. So now even when I have a Chanel listed at $999 and someone offers $200 I counter with $980
I don't do Facebook or social media. It makes it harder to sell my items when this is what you need to do to make sales. I think this is why my sales on etsy dried up.Exactly.

yes, it's really annoying, and these comments are not removable, but there are still a lot of good buyers who know what they buy and know the brand.
well I still had 70 sales there even though it's annoying and lot of low ballers. That's the price i have to pay for the good sales lol
When they removed your listing, did they send you a message to let you know (as eBay does)? Or do you have to figure it out yourself? And if they send a message, does it tell you why, i.e., counterfeit or another violation?
They didn't send anything. I had no idea why it was removed. It just went poof. I guessed what it was, and I must be right since the new listing with the new photo is still up.
I asked about the time frame and did get a response...the time frame for their stats is a 90 day period. Now THAT info is helpful for me. Pretty dismal compared to eBay for me.
That's weird, IMO. If you have just a few listings and they remove one of them, it's pretty easy to narrow down what was removed. But if you have dozens of listings, it could be days, weeks or even never that you realize that a listing is gone.
I wonder why there's no notice of a takedown.
That is extremely dismal!! Much worse than I thought. It would have been dismal for the period of a week. I got just a few more views than I have items. On ebay, I get that much in a hour.
There is no notice because Tradesy is poorly run! I always know exactly how many listings I have since I check several times a day to see if the number has changed. Sometimes you can make a sale and you won't be notified about it for hours or even a day, but the item will move from your active listings to sold, so that is what I'm looking for. It was easy to find which one was missing in this case because I had just added it and it was the only item in its category.
I had a rare case of return because Tiffany bracelet didn't fit (how it's even possible, it's standard size). anyway, Tradesy is holding my funds for over a week since they received return from the customer. I emailed them twice, they are still "reviewing" it. there's nothing to review, auth with original packaging in like new condition. Why do they need to "review" such a small item that is easy to process. unless they are wearing it that is...
