Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

It’s a closet styling/organization service that women pay as if they would for other similar wardrobe services. Selling on Tradesy is only a byproduct, not the primary one of concierge-ing . Not at all the same as when I used TRR several years ago to cull my items for sale as TRR only picked through what I brought out in a pile, they didn’t organize my closets etc. maybe by 2018 TRR does more of the personal curation services. Also read that mid tier brands go to Linda’s Stuffs while the designer pieces with Tradesy, possibly taken into their Abbey Closet for direct resell, sorta similar to Vestiaire Concierge who take items in directly, take photos and authenticate and write the description.

Anyone else receive the e-mail about first time sellers getting charged only 15% commission (limited time). I am thinking about opening a whole new account (using DH's e-mail) and moving my higher ticketed items over to that new closet. It might move faster since I am able to price it more competitively. LOL

No, I wish! I wonder how to give them my alternate email.

You should! I don't know why I received this e-mail. I am definitely not a first-time seller. It says you just have to list the item before May 1st to receive the promotional offer BUT it doesn't have to sell by then!

seems like Tradesy's dead these days, haven't had any sale for 2 weeks, and it never happened to me for a really long time. how are your sales?:smile: is it me or is it something going on there?
my last sale was a week ago, and I gave a huge discount=loss. I think it's the tax season. Also Easter parties drained some cash.
I hope sales will take off after 15th.
 
what's weird is that my sales on eBay are surprisingly good - twice more than usual for the last 1.5 months. like someone opened a magical portal and I became super visible in search (knocking on wood). and the opposite on Tradesy.
People on ebay got their ebay bucks at the beginning of April. I was hoping that would help me but I don't think it didn't. I did sell a bag I had listed for a really long time so I'm glad to see it finally go.

I made it back to being top rated on ebay but I don't think it helps me in search because I'm not offering 30 day returns.

totally understand, I'm not offering them too
I don't have a return policy at all yet I still get return requests. I accept and the buyers pay shipping. When I issue the refund, I have the option of refunding only the purchase price (and retaining shipping) or issuing a full refund.

But I think that option only applies when it's not "free" shipping.
