Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

TPF may earn a commission from merchant affiliate

so they are returning my python, and they claim it's prohibited to sell it on Tradesy at all, not just to sell it in their closets:
During our inspection, we found the item to be misrepresented for the following reasons:
  • Python is listed to be prohibited under our Terms or service and cannot be sold on our platform
Due to these findings, your pending earnings for this sale will not be released and the item is being shipped back to you per our Return Policy.

If I can find my old correspondence on this issue, I can send you that they told me it's ok to sell but that if it got returned they would send it back to me. But it won't really help since either way they say they're sending it back. Sorry you had this hassle!

And you think maybe when someone puts "python" in their listing they should have an automatic pop up or something to warn them about this? smh

I'm sorry! I have a lizard wallet listed. I hope if it gets returned, they don't think it is cobra or python.

I have pair of sneakers in the process of return now, it's partly made of snakeskin, I am not even sure if it's python or some other snake.xxxxxxxx
I wonder how will they define it? and there's nothing about any kind of snakes in my description. we'll see:smile:
and it's so weird that I've never had these issues during all these years before
It looks like an exotic, but probably not python. Usually with python, you can see a pattern if the piece is big enough where the scales get larger in the center. Like this: http://shop.panamleathers.com/skins/python-skin/python-skin-matte-brown/
Plus python usually feels dry and flakier than snake or lizard.
I sold a lizard wallet on ebay that I had misidentified as snake, but the buyer didn't complain.

Tradesy are scammers and I feel I may have gotten scammed. I made 2 sales 1 day apart. The money cleared 2 days apart from each other on the 15th days about. I made my first transfer of the smaller sale about 3-4 days ago ($350) and then the larger sale upon release. I did a bank deposit. Today I check my Tradesy is -360. When I click on the item listing it says it has been removed but on the larger sale it shows only sold. The transfer was done days ago so why would they put me in negative and can they go in my bank account for $? I haven’t received my funds in account yet. Could they stop it?

you better call and ask Tradesy, it looks like there's a return. it's weird because you should have received "your item is being returned to you" email if they reversed your payment. but Tradesy is such a mess now with ever-changing practices.

I'm incredibly frustrated with the Tradesy transfer process. After waiting a significant period of time for tradesy to release funds, all I need to do is transfer those funds to paypal, and it is taking an additional TWO WEEKS sometimes! At this point, if I make a sale, I really can't expect to actually receive the funds until 6 weeks after I sell somethimg. I'm at the point where I immediately transfer money every time they release anything, so I've got 3 transfers pending right now, each for around $135. One has been pending for 12 days.

I feel you! This is the norm for me on Tradesy now so I just tell myself in advance if I am still going to sell on there not to expect the money for about 5 weeks. :/

My last three paypal transfers have taken 5 days, 7 days, and 5 days. I have one that is on day 4. I have one sale that hasn't been released. It is on day 12. There is no excuse for this as it isn't being returned.
