Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

As I suspected tradesy will hold payouts for max 21 days if it's paid by Affirm. Everything else was just released incl return.
It's funny that tradesy mentioned security breaches in response to my email. Are they bringing my cash by trucks during these 15-16 days and another 9 days for actual transfer?
 
It could be she's ok to wear it for some time but if someone buys it for better price it's even better.
My money for the sale that shows in my buyer's closet was just released on the 7th day, so she must not have returned it. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it changes closets or gets relisted. The sale in which the buyer told me she loved it still hasn't been released, and it is now the 12th day.

I'm glad at least something was released. I sent out two sales today and I was feeling uneasy about whether I would actually get paid.

As bad as it was for Tradesy to return an item to me for a bogus reason, at least I wasn't out any money. I just had an ebay buyer force me to take a return under the threat of opening a SNAD and leaving negative feedback, and I'll lose the shipping money.

Sorry to hear about ebay. It's hard to follow Tradesy's everchanging procedures for payouts. Now when you mention it, I recalled money for latest sale for smaller amount was released faster than for earlier sales for larger amounts.

The money that hasn't been released, that is on the 12th day, is a ridiculously small amount.
 
My money was released on the 13th day for my teeny tiny sale. I have two items getting delivered today so I'm feeling a little better about being able to get my money.

On another note, I looked today in one of my categories sorted by most recently listed, then went to the last page. One of my items is on that page, but it isn't my oldest item, not even close. I tried editing it to see if it would change pages but it is still on the last page.

I just had a thought. People are allowed to sell python items on Tradesy, but python is illegal to be sold in California. So what happens when a buyer returns a python item to Tradesy? Legally, they aren't allowed to sell it.

Hah--I literally just had this issue as I listed a valentino bag with python trim and I emailed them asking what would happen if someone returned it. They told me they would have to return it to me even if it was as described because they can't re-sell it from CA. I pulled the listing (I took down my most expensive stuff recently anyway). I told them they should notify people when listing python items as they are going to be very upset if they find out after the fact that they are getting an unexpected return.

wow, that is unbelievable!
 
GIRL, I purchased a LV wallet from this seller (CL) on the 14th.. I still haven't received my wallet since I ordered it while she was out on "vacation" but I'm supposed to receive it this coming Monday according to the Fed Ex tracking.
I noticed the Origin was China and I freaked out as well... only because she has Chicago on her profile...
update me on your item! I sent pictures and paid a small fee for someone to authenticate to look at my listing/pictures.. I'll let you know what they tell me as well.
Hello... So yea I finally got the bag. I sent it to Tradesy for authentication. I'm not going to lie it looks sooo real. But to be on the safe side because it shipped from China I wasn't chancing it.

Any word on your wallet? Did you get it yet?

It’s against the law in CA to import for COMMERCIAL purposes with the intent to sell python, alligator & croc etc but it’s not illegal to buy in CA at the private individual level. That’s why dept stores don’t ship exotic items to CA (they clearly qualify under commercial with intent to sell) and folks have to find a workaround for purchasing. The emphasis on Calif regulations is commercial import with intent, watch enough L&O and you should understand how important intent is. Admittedly their regs are hazy at best in terms of defining and addressing issues that would apply to resellers such as FP, Tradesy or TRR, one can argue intent isn’t clear, but politicians wouldn’t being doing their job if something was only half baked right?

I think Tradesy would be considered on the same level as a dept store? So as an individual I could sell to someone in CA but if Tradesy took the item back they couldn't resell it. They would be accepting the return with the intent to resell.

The ThredUp LUXE warehouse is also in CA and they told me they wouldn't be able to sell this bag for me.
