Really glad to hear others say this- I haven't had even one sale in almost 3 weeks! I sell much less than all of you, but still, I normally sell about 20 items per month. The surprising thing for me is that this is November, typically the best month.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Has this happened to anyone? It was out for delivery on 11/15 then I saw this. I emailed the buyer and luckily she received it that day. I know tracking updates within 48 hours. On tradesy it still states it’s on the way to the buyer. I emailed tradesy regarding this. I hope they start inpection hold the day it was delivered.
Yes, just happened to be too. I called Tradesy and they marked it as delivered on the day it was out for delivery.
I just made another sale this morning, another of my under $50 items. I'm still really behind for the month, only 7 sales across all sites.
So PP isn't any faster than a bank deposit. I'm still waiting on my last transfer....and I haven't sold anything on Tradesy in a little over 3 weeks (an all time record for no sales for me) but I'm torn because I feel reluctant to make any more sales until I get my $$$ transferred from the previous sale!
I just got my funds today...on a Sunday. I thought they don’t pay out on the weekends and only payout during a business day? I guess that’s also a lie.
I finally got 3 sales this weekend... way down from my usual numbers for November (at Tradesy or any other site).
In addition to whatever problems Tradesy has, I think all these luxe reselling sites like Thredup Luxe and Realreal are making it harder for me, as an individual to sell my stuff through Tradesy or ebay. Seems like the market ticks down a little every year, and now its at a point where sites like Tradesy want 25% and the buyers have more alternatives than before.

Wowza..was this a PP transfer or a bank transfer?I have a withdrawal from the 6th that hasn’t come through
as sellers we also have these alternatives. I've started with eBay several years ago and now I'm selling on 4 sites + sent some stuff to thredup and sometimes (very rare) ship smth to fashionphile when they offer fair prices (last time it happened 1.5 years ago though, they are such low ballers)
and I keep looking for new opportunities all the time as this market instantly develops and grows
Yeah- I think the sophisticated sellers on TPF can learn how to use this selling climate to their advantage.
My problem is, I am just an individual that got into selling on ebay after I started buying items for my extended family. Eventually I started thinking "ok, I'm pretty sure someone will like this, and if not, I can just sell it on ebay". Since I am a luxe shopper, that worked out pretty well UNTIL 1)CA started charging 10% sales tax and 2)Sites like Tradesy and Poshmark + Paypal started to hike their commissions, with selling total typically over 20%.
This now means I need to sell something for 30% more than I pay for it, just to break even.
When I started selling online, there weren't too many internet consignment shops other than AFF and the few that sold on ebay. Now there are all these destination sites like RealReal that sometimes sell things for LESS than I, as an individual seller, would ever sell for. RealReal seems like they must be TOTALLY lowballing people.
They randomly released the money for my foreign sale today, 3 days before the maximum. The money was coincidentally released right after my latest sale was scanned by the post office as shipped.
