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.
I had that experience as a buyer about a year ago. If you return it to Tradesy for authenticity concerns and it is deemed authentic, they will send it back to you (assuming you still want it) or if it is authentic they may give you the option to return for store credit if you don't want it back. The item I bought was fake, but they sent me an email that explained this process.
