Mine is terrible on all sites! I don't know what is wrong. I've only sold one thing this month and it was a very cheap item.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Yeah mine is just terrible all around. Tradesy is better than my other sites, actually, but their commissions are so high it is barely worth it. This November and December are what makes me thing reselling is over for individuals. The reality is, once, standard resellers were unwilling to put every single item they had up on the web due to the investment in time and technology. Thats when I could sell things, one off items I purchased somewhere. But now, sites like thredup do exactly what I do and accept returns. I haven't made money in a while, I just do it because I love to shop. But if it starts to COST ME money to buy stuff to sell, I won't continue this.
I am actually doing pretty good, sales are not as high as they used to be 2 years ago, but the site is still alive, I have 15 - 25 sales a month there, and October - December are the best months of the year so far
sluggish, comparable to the last year, cheaper items are moving faster. it's not surprising with increased commission high-end items are pricey, lots of favorites, no sales.
That's weird, I used to have 20-30/month and November (which should be the busiest) was 15. I am 99% sure they lowered my search rankings after I flipped out on them regarding a stolen strap in one of my returns.
I sell on a couple different platforms... Tradesy isn't a big one for me since I usually only have around 25 items for sale. Actually, I've sold 2 bags in the past 3 weeks which greatly surprised me.
eBay is my go-to place to sell, but unfortunately sales have not been as brisk as in holiday shopping seasons past. My statistics say I'm up about 30% from the past 30 days, but down 25% as compared to this time last year. Many people seem to be complaining about slow sales, so it appears most of us are in the same boat!
Good luck to all...hope we see an increase in sales soon

My sales have been really good the past 2 months. After the New Year I'm closing my Tradesy store. It's not worth the stress anymore.
End of the year I'm done with Tradesy too. High fees and long wait for the money is too much for me. So much has charged. It used to be a great place to sell.
Not for revenge, but I get the feeling that every time one of my items is returned, my sales dry up. So it might lower you in the search rankings.I don't think they do such things to the sellers just for revenge
there are some buyers just never think it's a good enough deal for them, even if you had listed it at $80 I bet she or someone out there would want to haggle to $50.
I had done a bit of resell too for a couple of years then figured out it's just not worth for the time and the little profit if any after paying at least 13% on ebay, 20% on other sites, just not worth it.
but I'm glad I had done it, learned a lot of selling things, how to be a good seller and recognize the customers I don't want to deal with, I usually just block them.
My leaving has nothing to do with sales. My items have always sold well on Tradesy. It's all the changes that makes it a place i no longer wish to sell.
What happens if I, as a buyer, send an item to Tradesy for authentication? I know that if it's not authentic, they will do a full refund. If it's authentic, do they hold onto the item or send it back to me? To the seller?
If it isn't authentic, it goes back to the seller. If it is authentic, I'm not sure if it comes back to you or if they give you site credit and resell it themselves.
