I have 5 recent sales that the money has not yet been released. The oldest is on day 8. It makes me a little nervous to have so many. But I'm selling enough that I don't want to leave. These are sales I may not have made on another site, at least so soon. One of them would have cost me over $50 to ship if I had sold it on ebay so I didn't even have it listed there.
hmm ok well maybe its just me, or they've lowered me in their rankings because I complain so much!
I emailed Tradesy last night. They said they thought she was trying to add a withdrawal method rather than a payment method. I gave my buyer the phone number and email of Tradesy but I don't know if she will just give up. She wanted to know where else it was listed and I told her I couldn't tell her. All she has to do is a Google shopping search and she would find it, and it would be cheaper for her too, but I can't tell her that.
You can't use flat rate boxes for tradesy shipping but you can use the non-FRB that you'd order from USPS.com. (You can also use ordinary boxes.)
well... I'm not advocating this but I use the large flat rate boxes with Tradesy stuff I sell, literally all the time, and have never had any problems.
It is nice Poshmark allows this, but honestly I'd trade that feature for an option to ship something first class on that site. I just sold a pair of cheap DVF sunglasses and by the time I paid their $6.99 shipping and their 20% commission- I am netting $27. OK I get the fact that these are DVF sunglasses but the fees on Posh's low priced clientele destroy the site for me. At least on tradesy I can ship with my own materials.
I recently realized that I had been using some flat rate boxes instead of the regular priority ones! I'm so glad it didn't cause issues. The boxes are almost the same size and I guess I had forgotten that I had a pack of flat rate boxes.
I always take my Tradesy packages to the post office to get them scanned right away -- I've used the flat rate boxes a couple times and they wouldn't let me send them as priority so I guess it all depends on your post office.
Unless packages are heavy and going across the country, the FRB prices are higher than non-flat rate. While I can't recall reading stories here (on TPF), there are cases that have been posted on the ebay boards where buyers get hit with postage due costs because sellers used FRB but paid the non-FRB price.
