Mine is off by 3. I wonder if it has something to do with returns.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

Could be, I may have about 8 returns in total. they show up in sold with horrible pictures by Abbey R. one sale is completely gone though, it was international via forwarder.
Yup, transfer/withdraw times became very inconsistent recently, while explanations by Tradesy are getting more and more "creative". I think it's heading toward full 21 days of wait, verified or not.
I reached out to the customer support team inquiring about the 21 days hold and this was the response:
Thank you for taking the time to write in!
Although funds may be held for up to 21 days as part of our standard inspection hold, they are often approved and released much sooner than that. The timing of this release depends on a variety of security checks and randomized transaction reviews. If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out.

I’ve sold several items, mostly contemporary Tory Burch but also a Chloé Marcie and I got the price I wanted for everything. The quote “funds will be released no later than...” means the funds will be released on that very last day. And heaven forbid you want the money deposited in your account, that takes even longer. HOWEVER, I will say that I do eventually get paid and the price I’ve been able to sell items for is (sorta kinda) worth the looong wait for your money.
The prices are higher because Tradesy takes a bigger cut. They tried an offer option once but I guess it failed. If you want to make an offer, send a message to the seller and they will adjust the price for you.
thanks for the response
I think maybe we're too far apart.....don't want to insult her
Is there a way to tell how long an item has been listed? I know for myself if I've listed something for a long time I'm much more open to offers
I don't think there is. You can look at her closet and sort by recently listed. That might give you some idea.
a ha.....the handbag is the last item showing when sorted by recently listed
Sellers can list items for any reasonable (or unreasonable) price they want. If they want, they can take offers or if they want a firm price, that's their option too.
And just as sellers can price however high or low they want, buyers can choose to hit the back button or not.
I understand. And I started off saying I didn't want to offend anyone. I sell too but not a lot. I'm just starting to look at some of these "new" sites and trying to learn. So it's helpful to know that on Tradesy a seller might be open to an offer via message even though the offer option isn't shown.
as for prices it depends on condition etc. Tradesy charges 23% commission from sellers. buyers get free returns for credit. also there are promo codes, like $100 off now.
you can send offers to sellers via "contact seller", they usually consider reasonable range.

I sent the seller a question. Hopefully she will answer. I had no luck on Poshmark getting any response whatsoever to offer or questions (two different sellers)
I know, as a buyer too I have more luck on Tradesy than on PM. people list there items that they are not available anymore or list as new and after I bug them about condition for a month I get response "I actually used that bag" all the time etc. etc
