Why do I always get shady buyers? I just sold a brand new pair of CL pumps on Tradesy and dropped it off at the post office yesterday. The buyer messaged me asking if she could email me her own UPS label, so I could ship it to her with her label. I told her I was sorry I already dropped it off at the post office and have to use Tradesy labels. Has anyone else had a buyer offer to email their own mailing label? She must think I'm stupid.

It's usually a scam when they want to use their "own account" to use a Fedex or UPS label.

Most of the time, it's not their account and the rightful account owner will dispute the unauthorized charges and you (as the seller/sender) will be charged back.

Just reporting that in my last sale my funds were released after 6 days, I transferred it immediately and it took 12 days! to show in my bank account. So I got the money 20 or 21 days after I shipped the bag to the buyer. With the big commission and weirdness going on I prefer to sell my bags to Fashionphile...

Yep sounds about right.

I requested a PP deposit on the 1st, early in the morning. Still nothing as of today. For a company that claims to be profitable and growing, why are they holding onto my money for so fricken long?

Thank you for letting me know. I contacted Tradesy CS and they told me I did the right thing by not using this buyers UPS label. I'm sure this buyer will end of returning the shoes or causing a problem.
