I know that well. for seller when you ship matters because legally since that moment you are both out of money and the item.
Tradesy can be held accountable for this, the way they use "security checks" and blame your bank for delays, none of it happens. they've gotta prove it, in reality they just don't send you money until day 28th, they do it manually.

They are clearly making money off the interest of those funds held. I’m curious to know what that figure is monthly off thousands of dollars in the sellers sales.
Look, I really hate the system too, but it's not helping anyone to say they can be held accountable if they cannot. In what way can they be held accountable? Let's find an ACTUAL law that applies that will work. The only thing I can think of is to report for unfair trade practices, but again, I believe they have been reported already and nothing has happened.
I think that if there were a big lawsuit against Tradesy, they would not survive. Then none of us would get our money.
I do think they must be violating laws by taking money back from people after an item has been sold more than once. They can't prove that the item is the original.

I wonder if the CEO's being sued by her estranged husband will have an effect on Tradesy. I feel like putting my closet on vacation until I get some of my payouts. It's nice to make a sale, but only if I know I'll actually get the money lol.
I think it depends how and by whom they have been reported. there are a lot of pissed sellers who post pages of neg reviews, it's hard to make sense of it. often it looks like the seller had issues herself and doesn't have credibility. also these reports pile up. Nothing has been done yet, but it can reach critical mass and get go.
I agree that some of the online complainers seem a little wacko. Everyone normal who has some cred should go file a report with their state AG.

What do you mean by this? When they sell returns from their own closet?

I called yesterday to see how come my funds have not been released from a sale over 18 days ago. The CS rep told to reach out to the buyer and have her message me that she loves the item. If the buyer does this they will release the funds asap. This is BS!!! I have many buyers that have bought items and message me that they love the item and they still don't release the funds earlier. The manager is also a f""" liar. She told the CS rep that she would call me back yesterday and of course she never did!!! She was standing right next to hear when I called, but didn't want to talk to me. What a b****

There have been a few people on this thread that were accused of selling a fake after their money was released, and the buyer either returned it or resold it herself. Then the new buyer claimed it was fake. So it wasn't the original buyer; it had changed hands several times. Someone told me about a sale she made. After a few months, the buyer resold it. Then her buyer's buyer returned it. Tradesy resold it and it was returned again. At that point, Tradesy accused the original seller of selling a fake and tried to take the money back. This was a year after the first sale and it had changed hands several times.
Oh really? they just wrote me the opposite in Spring. here's quote from email from Tradesy in response to request to release my funds based on customer's thankful note.
