I don't opt in any of their sales or offers. it's a slippery slope, once you agree, they will take extra % for any sold item and say that the item was sold during a sale, even if it wasn't on sale from the beginning.

Huh. Thats interesting. Well my big problem with all these sale opportunities is that I sell on a few sites, and all these sales make my record-keeping too difficult. Its hard enough with all these commission differences between ebay, Tradesy, Mercari etc. But then if some sites have sales, I can't keep my records straight.
The one thing the Tradesy VIP offers that I like is the "next day shipping" which I would like to add to my listings because I always ship next day in all cases. But I can't see how to enroll in that without the flash sale option. Either way, a lot of effort for what I sell. I think most of this stuff is for people who sell $5K bags. and really high end items.
I wonder how they choose who should be vip or not?
I have about 800 sold items, but they did not offer me thisI think Tradesy fees are closer to 25% when you include the 2.9% "safe passage" fee.

I have only sold about 200 items on Tradesy. Lots of people are above me in selling performance. I think I have a pretty good returns ratio if there is such a thing, not too many of mine were returned.
I found out I received a survey about being a VIP seller and I filled it out. I really didn't understand the point of the survey was to participate in sales, because I can't really do that- I have another job and don't have time to actively manage everything daily. Anyway I filled in their questionaire and was offered this benefit. I'm sure its good for some people.
You probably got the survey too and didn't pay any attention to it.
I've heard of this happening before. I think they are just being proactive. First to make sure the photos are yours. Then to have enough identifying details so that if the buyer returns, they will know if there was a switch.
yeah thats no big deal. They have a program that scans the listings and looks for too many stock photos or photos from China (I THINK).
It happened to me with a pair of Gucci shoes I was selling, one day I logged in and 2 of my listings were removed, I contacted support and they asked for that Tradesy photo and whatever other info I had, turns out I had a reciept.
These programs exist now for the big resellers that can catch a bunch of Chinese photos and flag the listing so be sure you have a bunch of your own pics in there.
Thank you guys. I never use someone’s pictures, I only use my own pictures. I sent all the required photos but now I want to cancel the sale. I would rather send it to Fashionphile and call it a day. At least I know I won’t be asked to proof anything and will get my payment in a week.
Let us know what Fashionphile offers you. I got some ridiculously low prices from them, but that was years ago.
I started selling my stuff myself and then some members of my family asked me to sell a few things for them. I did ok and enjoyed it but at this point, I'm starting to question if it is worth it.
I used to buy things at Nordstrom rack for really cheap but their prices have inched up. Then you add these commissions FROM EVERY SITE (amazingly, ebay is now the cheapest)- and I agree it is just easier to sell to fashionphile or thredup (for the commodity stuff) and be done with it. The retail climate is so hard, retailers don't have enough left over to let leechers like me get away with anything.
Mercari is cheaper than ebay because there are no paypal fees but I think it would be difficult to sell high end stuff. I've only sold 2 items and had to answer a bunch of questions in order to make those sales. I constantly get lowballers.Let us know what Fashionphile offers you.

I'm not verified so they don't have my tax information.
You just got it today and it says you have to update by April 26? That is a warning flag.
ETA: Did you hover over the link to update in your dashboard? To see if it actually takes you to Tradesy?
