I haven’t sold anything on Tradesy since May 17...... Longest stretch of time ever not selling anything on there, and I’ve been selling on there since Tradesy started. I think Tradesy has had its day and has priced itself out of the market by raising commissions and having unfair pay out practices for sellers. Tradesy was my favorite market selling platform back in the day when the commission was reasonable and they respected their smalltime sellers, too bad they forgot us smalltime sellers who got them where they are today and now it seems they’re barely staying above water because of their greedy commissions increases and holding sellers money for an unreasonable amount of time.

Yes.. the commission increase and transfer time for funds is TERRIBLE. My sales have been soso. At least it seems like they are now living up to their word with more promotions. it seems like they had coupon codes about two weeks apart recently which really helps. At this point, the only reason why i'm sticking to them is because of the return protection as a seller and ease-free shipping label. I like that they eat up the return as long as it's described correctly. I've had nightmare situations where I was out of funds and items for months on ends on EBay. If they decide to get rid of this feature then I will definitely run away from the website.

It reminded me that Tradesy used speeding up payouts as the reason for commission increase among other excuses. how cynical...

After reading this thread, I cannot agree more than what you guys have said. I have sold over $50,000 worth of merchandise on Tradesy and they are taking more than a month to send me my money. Not to mention nonexistent customer service, a return policy that they don't follow, and ridiculous 23% commission fees.

If anyone lives in the New York City area and wants to 1) join me in launching a competing site and 2) starting a class action lawsuit, please send me a private message.

Although I would love to see it, people have been talking about a class action against Tradesy for some time and it hasn't materialized. I think they have covered their butts by just putting in the language that your funds transfer could take "7 business days or more" and by using the site you are consenting to that.

So my tradesy paypal transfers have hit a new low for me. I transferred a tiny amt of money to paypal early on June 23, which was a Saturday. 2 weeks later still no cash. This transfer was less than $100. sheesh man.

I just had funds released for an item after 3 days. Strange. And apparently the buyer returned it.

They may have returned it to one of those places you can return in person. I got my funds earlier once when that happened.
So this item was just relisted by the person who bought it from me (back in May.) I wonder what happened, because they had returned it.
