You should have asked BEFORE you bought it - NOT after. Seller is under no obligation to cancel the sale. I have cancelled before when a buyer asked me to because they realized they ordered the wrong size but I hadn't pulled the item to ready it for shipping so it was no big deal although to Tradesy it was a bump on my record because if a seller cancels too many sales- they can get their account suspended so sellers don't like having to cancel. If the seller isn't responding - they are probably pissed you didn't ask your questions BEFORE you bought it and don't want to cancel. If they ship and you really don't want it - you will have to return it to Tradesy for a site credit. If they think it really is a fake, you might be offered your money back.
I ended up getting a full refund from Tradesy because they also did not believe that the seller was honest. They reached out to them multiple times because of how long it took them to ship the item & to even cancel the item. I was surprised to get my refund in the oroginal form of payment, not store credit. That was the first time I used Tradesy so I didn’t know to ask the questions before buying. I thought it was like Yoogi’s Closet where the product comes directly from the company and is authenticated befor they even sell it. Next time I will do better research.
 
great news, Tradesy finally improved the quality of their labels. My PO was never able to scan it, and it was such a pain each time. Now next time you'll click on "print label", you'll get high resolution label. Yay!
Thanks... what do you mean your PO couldn't scan it, are you saying that when the PO didn't scan on pickup - which happens often - that it is actually the quality of the label? Great news if this is fixed!

Imho the very worst labels are Poshmark. They have no idea how to create a label that prints on standard internet 2-up print labels that are supported by everybody else. There are a bunch of videos of Poshmark sellers (teenagers) trying to explain how to manipulate a PM label to print 2-up. What a waste of time!

I never had problems with posh labels, but Tradesy labels were awful quality. some USPS scanners don't read them at all. I never had such problems with any others, but Tradesy labels were not scanned on pickup in 90% cases. And each time I had to make excuses when buyers asked why I didn't ship

I've never had problems with my Tradesy labels not being scanned. The only reason they aren't scanned on pickup here is because the carrier is lazy or untrained.

maybe your PO has more modern equipment. But I know that I am not the one who had this problem, I once bumped into a forum like ours and there were lots of sellers complaining, and Tradesy was aware of this problem too

Well I guess that's nice for you. Its fine for Tradesy to accept the return for a credit after you get the item if you changed your mind- that's what they say they will do - but if they took the money from the seller, that just gives sellers yet another reason to stop listing on Tradesy - especially since they gauge sellers on commission & if the item was fine.
It might take sellers longer to ship on Tradesy too because Tradesy is so much slower in terms of sales volume then anywhere else. I leave things posted there using it almost as a basic inventory source - but if I get one sale every 4 months, for me - that's good. And my prices are almost twice what I sell them on ebay and mercari for because their commissions are half what tradesy charges. So I'm not checking Tradesy very often. I will check my email a couple times a week but its easy to miss things when the traffic there is so slow. They added such huge sellers listing hundreds of thousands of items - that it makes it very hard for buyers to even find my stuff which is a one off - unique item that people probably aren't going to search for but will want if they happen across it. So if things don't move on that site too often, I'm not spending any time with it so I might not see the sale for a couple days - until I check my email. And Tradesy has screwed that up before too - sales not being sent via email and they wound up cancelling because I didn't confirm - I didn't confirm because they never sent the email. I messaged them and all they said was sometimes its a glitch with the email - theirs or mine.
 
Hi guys, does anybody know how they determine listings that have "add more info" flag on them, when you open to edit these it usually says to drop the price, but sometimes details are missing in the listing.
There is no rhyme or reason for which listings get this marker. I have listings with a lot of likes and it doesn't say to add more info/lower the price. Other times I have an obscure listing with NO likes and it has this.
I was wondering if this meant these things were in someone's cart or some such.
