Has anyone bought an item from international seller on tradesy? I read that you cant return an international purchase.

I don't know if that is true. What is true is that an international buyer can't return. As a buyer, you have no way of knowing where the seller is located so why should you be penalized for purchasing from one that isn't in the US?

What does it say on the listing? Does it say Final Sale, or does it say Fair & Simple Returns? I believe where it says "purchases outside the US are Final Sale" refers to when the buyer is out of the US, not the seller. If you are in the US, you should be able to return as long as it doesn't say final sale.

Thank you for making that clear for me. Im just worried buying from international seller and the hassle that goes with it in case there’s a problem with the item.

I second that. Sales are final for buyers outside US. International sellers are not even allowed on Tradesy. that unless they have some kind of special arrangement with Tradesy and the stuff backs them up claiming this seller has a great record. I personally wouldn't be worried buying from Japan, I buy a lot there.

The other thing that worries me is custom tax. I hope it wont be to expensive. How long did you wait for your item? Tradesy has a promo going LOVE150. It read to apply it on checkout. What about my additional welcome promo GIFT50. Can I add it all up? If I apply one can I still add the other promo?

I don't think you can use two promos but you can try.

did anybody print Tradesy shipping labels today or yesterday? I am trying to download / print it, and there's some glitch. When I click on Print label, it leads me to an empty page. I've tried to do it in 3 different browsers - same result.

Sorry to hear that. make sure you write very reasonable response to her review, I always read responses. as for negs people tend to give you more nowadays every time they want freebies or have buyer's remorse. I got one on Etsy last Holiday season because buyer didn't want to return the ring in 1 week while I accept returns and she had it over a month claiming it was a gift that didn't work. I posted response that she should follow the policies like everyone else and other buyers don't want to buy items that were worn (most likely) or handled by somebody for over a month. Since then I use small tags, it really helps.
BTW I like how Mercari doesn't allow returns based on smell. It's subjective and can be found almost in any item (leather smells like leather, shoes may smell like rubber, wool and fur can smell you know etc).

I really have to spend time redoing some bad photos and writing more seductive descriptions - using better tags etc. Honestly I slap it up there when I try something on and it no longer fits or I look at it and say - nope. No longer can pull this off. LOL. So that might be some of it but the prices are higher then I know I would pay online to compensate for the commission and time that goes into selling. I guess we all hold our breath that the next buyer isn't going to be a POS. Every time I look at my dashboard I get a lump. You work so hard to do a good job and it just takes one Bit&* to wreck you and then they go about their nasty life and forget all about it. Thanks for letting me know about Mercari. I didn't realize that. It this case it could have been the plastic - I wrapped in plastic then paper then put it in the envelop - I use plastic just incase the USPS wrecks the packaging and it maybe rains or get wet. But anyone sensible would be able to disinguish when you take off the plastic and throw it out and the item itself is just fine. So many idiots out there.

I didn't buy from this particular seller, but usually sellers from Japan ship via EMS. it's quite fast and tax-free (surely below $800, but even above nobody really checks).
you can't combine two codes, but you can use code for the item on sale.
