I got different response from different person, apparently they want to say that we don't need to put style details because their algorithm knows better how to name it and it will better show in search.

"Hi,
We usually do not recommend changing a title on a listing. Our system is set up to use the most relevantly searched details from the listing to create the title. By bypassing that, it may make your item appear less often in searches. But if there is an error in the title, we are happy to fix it! Just reply to us with what the title should be!
Let me know if you have any questions and I can help!
Thank you"

As a shopper/buyer, I find what she said frustrating.

While I agree that putting a minimal generic title will show searchers more listings but more isn't necessarily better.

If I'm looking for (example) Christian Louboutin heels, I don't want to look at every listing of "shoes" on the site. I don't want to see Chanel espadrilles, Coach ballet flats or Uggs boots!

So yes, they're showing me more options but not the ones I want and I don't have the time or desire to go through thousands of irrelevant listings to find the ones I want to see!

That doesn't sound good! I've never listed my items on Tradesy. Do they always hold your money for a long time?
Thx

21 days of hold then 14 day "to withdraw". in fact they just hold your money all the time.

On a second note, I got response from Tradesy. Rep didn't even look at correct order number that I provided and wrote that my funds for sale that was delivered on Aug 8 would be available on Sep 14. Also she wrote that they are growing startup.

Shocking! So, maybe by the holidays you can get your money! I know people have commented on the legality of this, but it does seem like it's illegal- or at least not good business practices.
Sorry you are going through this!

well, still 1 month of waiting for money is better for appr. 23% commission they charge compared with 40+% that consignors charge.
but my concern is that something new is brewing, I'm on 19th day for payout and it took 16 days for transfer. Also a ridic response that they are "startup" and they are "working on transfer time". First, at stage C financing they are no longer startup, so don't sugarcoat sh* that withdrawal time is kinda technical issue of some sort. they are just holding your money all these time until someone manually sends it at the end of the month, then it hits seller's PayPal or bank account at the same instant.
as for legal part, if they exceed 21 days for funds withdrawal window that would be illegal.

I sold three items on the 15th. Items were delivered on the 17th. One of items that was sold for the 17th delivery was released on the 24th to transfer to paypal(wasn't a return). Had high hopes the other two would fall off, still in the waiting stage again sadly.

Wow! Sounds fishy! Sounds like they have a list of excuses they read off to the sellers.

I just refreshed my closet page and my item count dropped by two. I don't think I sold anything; I think the count was off from before. They must have finally fixed some problems. I had a few items I sold that were still showing up in my closet but they weren't available if someone clicked on them. Those are gone now.

IDK about my active items but my sold items number is always wrong. It shows about 10 less in sold on my page, but if I go to sales it's more.
