I'm having the same problem. I just have one sale that was delivered over 12 days ago too. The buyer messaged me and told me she loves the shoes. I called their CS and got another lie and run around. I was told they can no longer do a courtesy early release and I have to wait up to 21 days!!! This is BS!!!! Each time I talk to someone at Tradsey CS I get another lie.

Tradesy just released money for 4 of my sales, delivered between September 13 and September 20, so a couple only took 7 days. One of those 7 day releases is one where the buyer messaged me to tell me how much she loved it, but I never called CS since it is a waste of time. The item that they released early by mistake is now back on hold, they subtracted the money they mistakenly released from the amount that was released today. That one was delivered on the 21st. Then I just have two other sales that haven't been delivered yet.

The funds that they released mistakenly before the item was even delivered reached paypal today, 10 days later.

I wonder if you have multiple sales they are freer about releasing your money because if there is a problem, they can always take it back out of one of the more recent sales, assuming that all your sales aren't going to be a problem.

Does anyone know what happens if you sell an item incorporating a tradesy $10.50 label but wind up using your own shipping? Do you get that $10.50 added to your earnings less Tradesy's HUGE commission since the buyer already paid it? And then reimbursed for your own shipping costs or you just lose it?

I don't understand this. If you have the item and own it - why isn't it easier to just photograph the actual item then to hunt down and steal someone else's "Stock" photo which isn't even a depiction of the actual item you are selling? Seems a little shady. I see book sellers doing that on ebay but a book is a book - all the same after the condition is rated. But clothes and accessories are unique in the quality. I'd want to see the actual photo of what I was buying before I bought it.

Hey fullcloset, did you read my post? I don't only use stock photos. I use ONE OR TWO stock photos and the others are actual. And even then, it is usually for clothing only. As an example, I just BOUGHT the item below on ebay. When hanging on a hanger you can't see the cut of the dress. Without the stock photo this would be hard to visualize. But since you think stock photos are shady, just don't buy anything where people use them, problem solved right?rust.jpg

I've never done it. I think you would have to contact Tradesy to see if they could give you that money.

That is great news that they released your money for 4 of your sales. Your right about calling CS. It is such a waste of time. They give me a different response every time I call them. I only had one sale this time and it's been 12 days. The buyer also messaged me to let me know she loves it. The CS rep that won't make a diff in releasing my money early. I can't believe they put your money back on hold after they released it early. I'm glad you got your money for your other 4 sales.

No, don't think so. I have multiple sales on Tradesy right now, waiting for funds to release. One item is a watch for $1K. That is a high end item for me. The person who bought it lives in Washington state and loves it.
How much do you want to bet I will wait the full 21 days for funds release - then the additional 7-9 days, so I will be paid sometime in late October? RiDONKulous.

Does Tradesy even have phone support anymore? The last I looked, it seemed like phone and chat were completely disabled and support was email only.

Stupid Tradesy just re-released the money they mistakenly released last week. It just made it to paypal yesterday, then they released 4 other sales yesterday and deducted the money for this sale from those. Now it is released again, just one day later, so I have to wait another 10 days for it to reach paypal again!

I am now selling on Poshmark. 10000 times better. Sold an item and got paid quickly!

Poshmark ladies. Poshmark.

I would go to Poshmark if I could turn off their best offer option. I have a few things listed on PM and the only things I ever sell there are items under $50. HUGE numbers of offers come in there at 80% off, it is as if their clientele is younger, not as high end designer as Tradesy.

I just sold a high end item that was well over $50 so my experience has been different so far.
