I also use plastic just in case the box gets wet. I've heard of boxes being left in people's bushes. I wrap in tissue, then put it in a plastic bag before putting in the box or padded envelope.
So I am waiting for 2 payouts from Tradesy, initiated on 11/1 and 11/7 to paypal. It seems like these transfers were AGES AGO but when you really look into it, 11/1 was exactly 7 *business days* ago - given 2 weekends and a holiday in between. This is going to be the experience for all transfers in Nov, Dec with all the holidays. It will take 3 additional weeks after your funds are released before you finally have cash in hand. I just hope I don't die in the meantime!
Some weird thing happened with images today. In two of my recent listings main image that was already cleaned was substituted with old uncleaned one (and I changed it to a better pics and those are gone, my first draft-ish uncleaned pic popped up instead). It's both on app and desktop. I emailed them about the bug.
As for transfers it's inconsistent as always. Funds for second sale were released earlier than for the first sale which took almost 21 days (19 to be exact).

I'm seeing close to a month from the date of the sale until the funds hit paypal.
Several of my images aren't cleaned, and don't have the cleaning icon next to them. Some of these are months old and some are brand new.
I was just going to ask if others are having problems with images being cleaned. I've had some that were listed weeks ago. I tried to send an email this morning asking if they can look into cleaning my images and when I hit the email button, it says "emailing" and then just comes right back to the screen so emails aren't going thru either. Getting worried about their financial health. Despite the long waits for payment, I really like Tradesy and don't want to deal with Poshmark, eBay or Mercari given the issues people have had with lowballers. I just haven't seen a great alternative for the middle market -- between the Poshmarks and the Vestaire.
I have the same worries. I also really like Tradesy. Even though I make less money and have to wait longer for my money, I don't have to worry about complaints like on ebay or lowballers like on Mercari. I still make more sales on ebay but Tradesy is second. Mercari is a distant third, and nearly every sale there only comes about after a lot of questions and negotiating. On Tradesy, people usually don't ask questions; they just buy.
I have the same situation, images remain uncleaned for about 2/3 of my new listings. I usually email them after waiting for two weeks, they respond promptly and resubmit listings for cleaning..
But this time there's no response to my email for 3 days, crickets.
Another red flag, I just got pop-up suggesting to participate in their "biggest ever" sale and opt-in to discounts 20% and 25%. no thanks. but what happened to 5%, 10%, 20% or whatever it was? I guess it doesn't work anymore.
As for uncleaned images and some of of my cleaned imaged substituted with uncleaned ones AND wrong ones from the draft, I think IT is revamping something while they have no clue what they are doing (like another engineer left).

Most of my items are under $100. Maybe 20% are over $100. I have sold a few items on ebay over $200, and many over $100, but they take longer. It depends on what it is, how many others are listed, how desirable it is... For certain brands or items, people don't expect to get them under $100.
Ah Ok. That's what I should do then. First tissue then the saran wrap. Good idea. That's why I love this forum - like there's a bunch of girlfriends handing out to share this stuff with. Appreciation.
Some of my recent photos that were missing the cleaning symbol have it now, but many from earlier still don't have it. I think those are too old to be caught by their system. I wonder if it affects whether they will show up in Google searches.
