Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Still waiting for mine. The item was returned, relisted by Abbey Road, sold again and still no money.

Once it comes, I'm deleting my listings.
How do you know it was resold already? I haven't had a buyer return to Tradesy in a long time, but it always took quite a while for Tradesy to actually relist the item for sale. I hope you get your money soon.
 
Hi all,

I withdrew funds into my checking on Aug 31st and still nothing. I transferred to my bank account. Has anyone compared fund transfer times between the debit card/paypal/bank account options? I'm wondering if it has to do with the transfer type I'm choosing, or if it's because It was a somewhere big withdrawel, or if this is now just the standard?

I was told that paypal is faster than bank transfer; I don't know how true that is but that's what I've been doing with all my funds since I joined Tradesy. In my last sale my funds were deposited into my Paypal account in exactly 96 hours/4 days.

I think some people have had bank transfers go through at the same pace, though. In any case, I would contact Tradesy and ask what is up.
 
I just sold an item on ebay and it cost me $38 without extra insurance to ship! This is one time I wish it had sold on Tradesy.
It didn't fit in a flat rate box?
I find UPS is cheaper than USPS for bigger, heavier items too.
And once I actually used an EBAY label because it was like $5 cheaper then the USPS would be - it was surprisingly easy & no problems but I still like taking my package to the post office & getting a receipt which forces them to scan it.
Plus you're lucky Tradesy still lets you sell some of the non-clothing items you sell because they took down like 80 items that I was listing saying they weren't allowed - a brand new silverware set for example I listed in bridal gifts and books about style and fashion or hair and makeup I listed in Miscellaneous. I was so pissed. Mostly because they didn't even provide me with a list of what they removed or ask me first to remove them myself or give me an opportunity to argue - LOL. Some 20 year kid still living in his parents' house would have no idea people actually GIVE silverware at bridal showers.
But in the long run they did me a favor because those items were all under $50 so I would have removed them myself anyway when they raised the commission rates so high for items under $50 but at least I would have had my records to move them to Ebay.
And anyhow, Tradesy for me now is too much of a waste of time. My stats came out - I still have 250 items listed and got only 33 views - LOL. Useless. And then they want me to "update" 250 old listings - LOLLOL idiots. Like I'm going to waste my valuable day off updating listings for the 33 people who actually were exposed to any.

It's been listed as sold by AR for over a week and had 4 likes. I can't exactly prove it but the circumstantial evidence is pretty damning.
 
Aaaand after going in frustrating circles with a customer care rep from Tradesy re: them incorrectly deeming my [beautiful, excellent condition, authentic] Proenza Schouler purse someone bought/returned as inauthentic... I will be deleting my Tradesy account.

Frankly, I just don't trust them/their "experts" with any other bags in my collection if nonsense like this can happen and go uncorrected. I'm not going to pay them to be a middleman (as a seller OR as a buyer) if they can't do that job well. At least I got my bag back ok. Maybe it's a sign I should keep it.

I know it's weird, but I feel much safer with eBay. Just have to wait for my withdrawn funds to hit, then bye bye Tradesy.

Paypal seems to be the faster option of the two. Before, paypal would take me a day. Now it takes about 4. Bank transfers before would take 3 days, now it takes a total 7 (or 5 business days) before it reaches my account.

Happy for you, at least your returned bag wasn't damaged/missing parts. I would consider it as a good outcome given the recent stories about returns went bad.

Yeah, I agree. I was definitely prepared for something like that, which was another added level of frustration

Glad it's over though. In the meantime I still have it listed on eBay and have had a few lovely ladies inquiring about it. [emoji854]

Disappointed because I liked Tradesy as a tech product, thought it had some nice features. But as a *service*? Well, nope. Idk if they're trying to do too many things or what.
