Over a week passed and I’m still waiting for my PayPal transfer. I’m officially done with Tradesy! My other payment is still on hold for several days too! I’m going back to eBay and hope my stuff sells even though the buyers there are cheap. I’m sick of Tradesy and their lousy customer service!

I hope they lose business quickly or go back to their old ways. They just lost me as a seller.

I think if you resign yourself to the fact that your funds can and probably will be held for the full 21 days after delivery, and, that once you withdraw your funds it can and probably will take 7-9 business days to hit your account, then you will realize that selling on tradesy is not so bad. Gone are the days of payouts after 4 days. Unless they change things again. But, in my opinion, it’s worth the wait. I’m not desperate for the money and sure beats holding your breath after selling something on eBay. If you described your item correctly, and take appropriate pictures showing any flaws, etc, you will do well on tradesy.

This is where I am now. At least buyers on Tradesy are willing to pay decent prices for designer items. I just tell myself in advance not to expect to see the money for 5 weeks. They *will* hold your money even if the buyer doesn't return the item.

That isn't always true. Tradesy returned to me a bag that was described correctly. I resold it on ebay with the exact same description and measurements (which matched the manufacturer measurements), and my buyer said it was just as described. I just think that Tradesy got back my bag and didn't want to sell it, probably at a loss. I made more money on it on ebay anyway.

That said, I'm not ready to quit Tradesy. But I do get nervous they are going to go out of business and I won't get my money.

honestly I feel like it's the beginning of the end. more and more people complain about situation with money withdrawal and leave the site. I've had 1 sale during 3 weeks. I have a lot of inventory (220 - 300 items available each month) and feel the market, it's NEVER been less then 10 - 15 sales a month during last year or so, and I don't even mention those good times with coupons and low fees. It's never ever been like that. My stock hasn't changed. Sales at other sites are stable and good too. Tradesy's dying:sad:

do you qualify to be a business seller with that much inventory? Just curious, I am no where close, but I know business sellers can get much lower fees and probably get treated better overall.

first they did offer, and they asked for a phone call, and I hate to talk on the phone lol, and thought I will come back to this subject later. and then, when they raised fee, I asked (twice!), and they said they are currently not interested in new business sellers. the train is off!

I found out recently that I was a "VIP seller", which is not a business seller, and there are no discounted commissions involved. The big perk seems to be that they offer some sort of flash sale option if I want to drop prices.
Reminds me of poshmark, offering every incentive in the world for me to sell for less.

Honestly I don't have time for most of these seller benefits.
