This one quote from one of the former employees is so true! And in fact, Tradesy used to send their cheerleaders here (to TPF) in attempts to diffuse their negative publicity:
"Someone will read this and may cover it up with fake positive ones. Management is known to be a complete bomb ready to explode soon. The CEO is a capital B word unless you're on her list of favorites."
-I love dogs and I'm a proud owner of two fur babies, however, working with dogs is not conducive to productivity. Constant barking affects concentration. The elevator smells like dog urine and the back stairs have urine stains on the wall. I've witnessed multiple dogs defecate inside the office.
- the small dogs are untrained and not potty trained and the owners pay no attention to them letting them pee in the office and bark at coworkers
- And let's not forget the dogs. So so many dogs. Most of which are untrained and will pee with abandon anywhere they see fit. I LOVE dogs. I have a dog myself. I would never bring my dog to work if it habitually defecated in a place where I'm supposed to conduct business (no pun intended).
That is hilarious! maybe if there were no dogs there, people would actually work? What I would choose between working for salary and cuddling with dogs during working paid hours? Obv answer
and I can imagine that smell and reaction on it when they meet potential investors in the office!

Ugh. So bad that they are doing this. What was weird was my payout was for $150- but in addition to canceling the deposit, they billed the $60 to my account. It was such a weird number too. It made me feel like I had been compromised- which I still do, i'm going to have my bank issue me a new debit card when the refund clears.
I just had a similar situation. Received my money, saw the bag in Abbys closet. 6 days letter money was pulled and the bag is being returned to me. " you mentioned leather aging but did not mention leather cracks".
Also the same week they pulled my other funds that they released the day before. I called them and they said they made an exception for the buyer because he sent them an email asking to return that they did the not see. (how is that my fault??)
This same buyer bought a LV keepall bandouliere from me, and returned it WITHOUT the strap claiming he didn't get one. The damn strap is almost as expensive as the bag itself!!! Tradesy took his side, shipped me back the bag without strap. I called them and flipped out, 500 sales with them and now I would try to cheat someone by keeping the strap?! They said there is nothing they could do because I didn't videotape my package.
They sent back ALL of my recent returns, and their excuses were sad. " mentioned but didn't capture, gentle scuff on piping, some gentle odor".
I haven't listed anything new in over 2 weeks and honestly at this point I have no desire to do any more business with them. I calculated it and they made about $40,000 in commission IN MY CLOSET ALONE.
you mean you don't like the 'Hi There! Aloha! Thanks for reaching out! We are currently walking out dogs on the beach while enjoying the Cali breeze. But no worries! we promise to get back to you with a copy and paste response in less than 5 business days! Go women!"
Wha? that's horrible, and I'm complaining about couple of returns pushed on me, one was misauthenticated, second was worn by someone after I shipped it.
This "walking out dogs on the beach" and wearing your returned items while we are having a free corporate happy hour and get wasted.
WOAH! This again confirms my reaction to pull all my listings and get a new debit card I was using to deposit funds onto. That is very shady, bad business. I am also concerned there will be random returns if I stayed with them. I've also sold a lot through their site. 110+ item. I started in 2014/2015 when they started getting big. I truly think any buyers they may have had have moved back onto more App friendly shopping sites, like Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay. In 2018, we will start hearing that tradesy has drastically cut down their employees and I'm thinking they will start with the phone line.
Just to be clear, she wasn't selling anything and trying to cheat the system. It was a friend of her boyfriend's who owed him some money and gave it to her paypal because her boyfriend didn't have a paypal account. I believe it was the friend's mother's account that was used.
I inferred that from your post. My youngest son will send me money through F&F to repay his IOU. I can't imagine that he'd dispute a payment afterwards.
Here's some info from their community boards and an answer from a PP employee. Note that the post is from 3 years ago but it still applies:
Can you dispute a friends and family payment?

Re: Can you dispute a friends and family payment?
Hi everyone,
Payments sent through the Friends and Family option are not eligible for Buyer Protection at this time.
If you are paying for an item, goods, or service, we strongly recommend against marking it as Friends and Family.
So, stay safe and don't use this if you're purchasing something - you might be hurting yourself in the long run

I was reading a paypal community discussion that seemed to imply that an unauthorized use claim might allow the sender to get their money back, which is what happened.I inferred that from your post. My youngest son will send me money through F&F to repay his IOU. I can't imagine that he'd dispute a payment afterwards.
