I never got the email that the fees were going up either. It was in a pop-up when I logged into Tradesy.

it looks like you are at the bottom of their mailing list. I believe I'm in the middle bec I learn about promos etc from here, then I get emails and app notifications. Tradesy needs to fix it because buyers can be left in the dark too.
You are correct. As of the rate gauge - I just put my Tradesy shop on permanent "vacation" & am moving everything back to Ebay until I get set up at Mercari. So long Tradesy - I hope your investors all pull out & you go bankrupt.
I sold two more items today before the rate change but both were under $50 so the rate won't be going up. I wonder if I make any sales in the next two days if Tradesy will hold off on posting them until after the rate change is in effect.
But truthful and completely justified. My response even ruder - Don't treat me like an idiot Tradesy - your real rates increased over 50% since I started listing - its not in any way beneficial - sales are down, the number of views is close to nothing compared to hundreds of views for my same listings on other Platforms & your service is down by 220%. Just say - you want to chase everyone not selling chanel or LV in bulk from your website (whether real or fake- nowadays you don't much seem to care & still can't authenticate properly anyway) , and if people are stupid enough to keep listing on your platform, you will just hold their earnings for 3 weeks and send all their returns back them.
The rates went up over 100%, not 50%. They were originally 9, now it is over 18.
I stopped selling and buying on there a while ago. I enjoyed Tradesy when it began so sad those days are over.
I have been a seller on Tradesy since 2014 and I have been following this forum for quite some time. I agree with everyone that Tradesy is on the way down. It is quite evident in all the negative Glassdoor reviews by their employees (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Tradesy-Reviews-E812993.htm?sort.sortType=RD&sort.ascending=false). It's probably only a matter of time before they shut down.
OMG, thank you for posting what an interesting read. they should have stated with hiring great STO from the beginning, they've lost on platform, they are the worst in the industry compared to PM, RR etc.
And dogs are peeing on my returned bags, that explains all the signs of wear that were not there LOL
"- the leadership are lost. they just fired the cto and everyone expects another batch of firings or maybe layoffs as well
- a LOT of people are looking for jobs or waiting for the company to get acquired of fail
- marketing is lost and just sends the same discount emails time and time again
- the small dogs are untrained and not potty trained and the owners pay no attention to them letting them pee in the..."
"Upper management is incredibly incompetent. They have zero emotional intelligence, lack leadership skills".
"some people are grossly overpaid". "management sucks up all the money". "meal plans delivered to CEO and CPO".

Hmm, lots of them seem to criticize the marketing team, which we’ve been doing here, too! Their marketing team is terrible!!! And reading this makes me not feel any remorse for what I said—both to them directly and on here.
Also, personally I don't think it's good news when the company fires the CTO...I guess it really is only a matter of time until Tradesy goes under for good!

Pulling all my listings with tradesy. They are dead and now have pulled some sneaky stuff on me.
Sold a purse, was delivered and after 4 days I withdrew my funds. On the 5th day, they reverse the direct deposit and say the bag is being returned to me. Apparently it was reviewed already at their warehouse and it wasn't how I described it. You mean to tell me that the buyer sent the item back and it was deemed not described correctly by tradesy's team within 4 days? I don't think it ever got to the warehouse. Also the finds were already released, tradesy should have accepted it and resold in their closet because it was as described.
But then all the sudden I get a withdraw of $60 to my debit card I use to withdraw funds to! And they have already cancelled the direct deposit, so tradesy just took $60 of my own money without any approval. Just got off the phone with them- the rep had to call me back once she heard from their Trust and Safety department who said it was an error and they will be refunding it.
This is just an FYI for those selling still on the platform- I would be very concerned if you have anything linked with them.

That's terrible! I don't withdraw to a bank account as I don't want Tradesy to have access. I only use Paypal. I wonder how Paypal would handle a dispute of that kind.
On another note, my daughter got money through friends and family on paypal from an acquaintance, and months later, it was reversed, as the sender claimed it was not authorized. So, just a warning, even friends and family money can be taken back.
it happened to me before, even worse than that. sold bag for $1300, on 5th day BEFORE deposit hit my bank Tradesy took money from my account saying the bag is being returned to me. deposit reached my bank one week later. nice, huh?
