Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

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.
Yes! I liked mercari at first because I had interest in my items and offers right away, but then low ball after low ball. It definitely has a lot of bargain shoppers!

checking to see how others are doing with sales over the past couple weeks. I've never gone more than one week without a sale in the 3 years I've sold on Tradesy and I'm up to two weeks without a sale now and starting to worry. How are you guys doing? Thanks.

I had almost 3 weeks without sales too, but now things are getting much better for the past couple of weeks.

Has anyone else received an email like this? I don’t have a business account and didn’t get a 1099 for 2017, so I’m thinking this is a scam email. I haven’t replied to it nor do I intend to.
check to see where the email address originated from. spam and phishing if it's funky sounding/looking. you can also forward to Stripe team and ask them to verify.

I'm doing pretty good. I'm getting about 1 sale a week. Not great, but still worth it. It's been a slow month for me on all sites.

Has there been any improvement with the fund transfer situation? I put my closet on vacation mode and as soon as I got back I sold an expensive item. When I did a transfer from my account last month it took exactly 2 weeks to hit my account after initiating the transfer

It's staying at about 9 days for me to hit paypal.
 
Any help would be appreciated!
So I sold an old generation YSL cabas chYc mini the end of November last year. And the purse was arrived at the buyer on dec 1st. The buyer emailed me yesterday and said she needs a refund because the handle is rubbing off already (not sure if they was referring to the scratches on the handle where I have posted a picture on the listing). And she was so rude and even cursing in the message saying I sold her cheap fake. I don't use fake and the purse still had a Neiman Marcus tag attached to it (or in the pocket). And I've heard a lot of stories where Tradesy favors buyer in most of the situation. So my question is how likely Tradesy will accept her return and take money out of me even against my will? I've also heard about a lot of incidents where the buyers purposely damaged the items or even use a fake items for return so they could get money back. I so mad and upset....

wow, a lot of time has passed! Almost 6 months! She might be beyond the period for a credit card chargeback. I would think Tradesy will probably not accept the return. You could call Tradesy and ask them if you have anything to worry about.
 
I emailed Tradesy and told them the buyer is harassing me and threatening me to give her a refund. I was told to stop communicating with the buyer now and they would investigate further.

I highly doubt Tradesy will allow a return and in any event you got paid out and should be fine. If she wanted to raise questions about the item she needed to do so within the provided return period. If tradesy wants to allow a return they can take it out of their own account.

I hope so. I'm not sure how much power does Tradesy actually has and by reading those sellers complains online saying how these shady buyers take advantage of their privilege on tradesy and ruined the items just so that they could get their money back. It's sad to see how low people could go ...
I think after this I'm so done with selling. Have encountered too many bad buyers.

I wouldn't worry about it. That is WAY to long ago.

Hi all, After the commission increase I stopped posting on Tradesy. I didn't have much else I was looking to sell anyway. last week and this weekend I had a "record" breaking sales. Literally sold 20 items (have 45 items in my closet) sold. I also had increased my prices after they increased their commission so that my final take away would be the same. I'm pretty shocked and considering posting more.. Not sure if it was just the mothers day buyers though.
