Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

The Post Office attempted delivery to a buyer on Monday. I contacted the buyer but no response.

How long will the Post Office hold the item until sending it back Tradesy? Will Tradesy send the item back to me or will I still get paid?

The post office will hold for 15 days. Then they will return to sender. If it's a Tradesy label, then back to them. They will treat it like any return. Inspection and either they will keep or return to you with some excuse.

My stats show I get less views on all 300 Tradesy items then I get on ONE single ebay listing.
What stats are you looking at, that show individual Tradesy listings vs individual ebay listings? Are you looking at ebay "page views"? I don't get terribly many views on ebay, lots of my items have single digit # views. I think if you are selling Chanel or LV, you get lots of views on ebay but for other stuff, not so much.
But for Tradesy, unless they rank you high in their search list for the brand, you probably don't get any views at all.

I contact Tradesy in such cases and ask them to e-mail to my buyer, cause some of them just don't log in and don't see our messages. Tradesy usually marks such orders as "delivered". it's been only 3 days anyways, give the buyer some time, maybe they work all day and can't go to post office till Saturday
 
and my post sometimes doesn't scan packages at all and they appear only 2 - 3 days later at the next distribution center on their way:sad: and by sometimes I mean pretty often. hate it
My mail carrier used to be so good about scanning. The last 3 weeks or so none of my packages have been scanned. I wonder why she stopped scanning. It is really annoying. I have a package I sent out yesterday that still hasn't shown up.

Is it possible there's a new mail carrier? Actually, I've noticed my own mail carrier is coming much later to pick up my packages... usually he's here between 11am-1pm, but lately it's been 3pm-5pm. Maybe due to the upcoming holidays there's already an uptick in people sending stuff?

It isn't a new carrier. It used to be that I knew when my carrier took a day off because my packages weren't scanned, but I saw her yesterday down the street, and still my package wasn't scanned.

Ugh, that stinks. Hmmm...I wonder if it might be an influx of holiday mail and the carriers are under pressure to go faster, so some are cutting corners? You could always call or go in person to speak with your post master at the PO...I've seen that usually gets good results.

I've talked the post master many times before I got this carrier, usually complaining about the previous carrier not scanning. I had complimented this carrier about how much I appreciated her scanning my packages. She told me that since I send a lot of packages, she always checks my porch to see if there are packages even if I didn't put in a package request. She said she doesn't mind picking them up because it is job security.

Well, I hope whatever is causing her to not scan your packages clears up soon.

I completely understand the anxiety that happens when the day (or days) goes by without any scans...and the frustration when a nervous buyer won't stop pestering you about where their package is.

Sending good mail scanning thoughts your way!

Money for a sale that was delivered on 11/22 was released at midnight on 12/1, so the 9th day. My sale delivered 11/25 that I know won't be returned hasn't been released yet.
