Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate
links, including eBay, Amazon, and others

So it seems like if you opt into Tradesy sales, Tradesy may deduct the sale % amount from your earnings even if the items aren't on sale at the time of purchase. At least if the buyer uses a promo code. I feel like they are squeezing every $ out of the sellers. The non-business ones anyways.
Is that legal?

The same thing happened to me this weekend. A buyer made an offer, I accepted and after the purchase Tradesy had taken an additional $25 from the price [emoji44]
 
Hi all,

I haven’t posted on here in a while. I’ve sold on Tradesy for years now. Has anyone’s package ever get lost? Like USPS not scanning the item? I dropped off 2 packages this past Saturday. One was Posh and the other one was with Tradesy. My Posh item got scanned but not the other one. I’m afraid that it didn’t get scanned. Unfortunately, my fault, I didn’t request for a receipt because I usually just drop them off. One time I asked and I was told they don’t give one. Some other post offices do. I contacted Tradesy and she told me to give it a few more days. She also said if there are no updates, I have to go back to the post office and speak with the clerk.

I’m afraid I’m going to lose this sale and money.

I think you're worrying too soon. If you sent it on Saturday, it's only been 2-3 days. Sometimes items don't show tracking until delivery.

You're probably fine. I'm guessing that the buyer will receive it either Wednesday or Thursday.

Yes, it happened to me once with a Tradesy package. This was a long time ago when Tradesy's policies were nicer to sellers. I had to sign an affidavit that I had shipped the package and I got paid. I suspect that wouldn't happen today.

I ALWAYS have the boxes scanned, and usually it means waiting in a 30min line (NYC). One time I was stressing out for 4 days because the package was scanned for the first time once it reached the customer. So it missed a number of scans alone the way. If it missed the last one, I would probably be screwed.

I had a beautiful 1960s LV bag that I sold a few weeks ago (sold in 2 days) and someone returned it. Of course the money is on hold, and I see it's already sold in Abby's closet for $50 more. Whatever, I keep waiting for the money. I listed EVER possible flaw, even the ones the bag didn't have. 3 weeks later I get an email that Tradesy decided it wasn't authentic "due to the lack of date code".
WTF?! It's an old bag, of course it wouldn't have a date code. On top of that, I had it professionally authenticated before I bought. Do they just return everything for whatever reason they can come up with??

This is so wrong. Are you going to fight back with their "fine" authenticators and send them report?
unfortunately, this is new normal for Tradesy nowadays including pushing returns on sellers, stealing additional commission and holding funds as long as they want.
