Yes, I did. It comes up first in image searches, but not at all in shopping searches.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

then you are fine. as a buyer I always use image search. Google shopping results are almost purely based on Ad money nowadays and they show very limited selection. Tradesy doesn't put a lot of money there unlike Fashionphile or TRR.
Thanks! Google shopping almost never helps me find what I'm looking for.
So how do you find people to follow? I got a bunch of followers early on but never followed anyone back and now I just stopped getting new followers. So I want to jump start that again by following others but I am only interested in "normal" small sellers - the ones who made Tradesy what it is. I don't want to follow big boxers or out of the country drop shippers. Any idea how I can search for those types of sellers to follow? I only buy if its a small business too but I don't have a lot of time to surf the listings there since I started moving listings to Mercari. I am preparing for the great Ebay exodus after Christmas when I presume they will put their Adyen & give me your financial info thing into play.
I haven't made any sales on Tradesy since early in the month. The last of my money was released this morning. I've got 3 outstanding transfers. I think there are just too many sales this time of year.
Hi everyone!
Glad I found this forum.
Has anyone experienced Tradesy miscalculating the number of sales or HIDING sales from you? Very bizaar. I don't sell much and haven't been doing this very long but when I check my sales page, it says I have about 10 more sales then shows up under sales in my closet.
I asked Tradesy and they said the difference is either cancelled sales or returns.
Well, its not returns because every sale I know I made is accounted for in the sales and I only remember twice when sales got cancelled - once the buyer said she mistakenly bought the wrong size and asked me to cancel the sale before I shipped, which I did and once Tradesy cancelled it because I didn't respond fast enough. The reason for that one was that I never got the email from Tradesy saying I had a sale to confirm but I did get an email from the potential buyer complaining about the cancellation. I told her I didn't do it and didn't know anything about it and would gladly sell it to her if she rebought it but by then she said she bought something else and didn't want it anymore..
Now I am wondering if Tradesy is either just padding the sales for their own records or maybe I actually had 8 more sales that Tradesy cancelled without even letting me know about it or sending an email or anything else - which would really piss me off. For me, those 8 other sales could have been quite significant.
Has anyone else experienced this glitch or know anything more about it? Thanks.

I've never compared the number Tradesy has with the actual number. It seems to me that the number doesn't grow as fast as I would expect but I haven't kept track of it. The number it shows on my sales page is 3 more than the number on my closet. I think this is due to items that were returned to Tradesy and relisted by them. I don't think Tradesy has ever cancelled a sale of mine. I check my closet often.
Ok thanks. You must have a lot of sales then but if your numbers don't match either - it must be some kind of a software glitch because its definitely not returned items. The items I sold are all listed and accounted for in my closet so if they were returned - they wouldn't be counted there and besides, the overall number of sales is MORE then what shows in my closet. I didn't think my sales were being cancelled either - except for that one - BUT there are still outstanding "sales" unaccounted for by their sales records for me when I click the selling tab. If you sell so much you can't keep track, yours are probably a lot higher. So I'm still wondering - are these fake numbers they use to bolster their investor dollars OR are there really sales they are cancelling for whatever reason - and intercepting before it even gets to the seller - without telling sellers or even sending notification? Its just really weird.
When items are returned and relisted by Tradesy, they still show in my sold items, even when they are resold by Tradesy. There are 3 more sales listed on my sales page than show in my closet. I would have to compare them one by one to figure out what accounts for the difference. There is also the possibility that your buyer would resell an item and then it would move from your closet to theirs. I don't know if it would continue to be in your sales at that point.
There used to be a difference between the items in my closet and my active listings, but they corrected that. There was also a glitch they finally corrected in that if you listed an item and then switched the category, it would show in both categories. But when you sold it, it would only remove it from the category it sold in. The other category would still show it in the closet but when you clicked on it, it would say it wasn't available.
Ah ok.
So maybe mine are just mistakes too they need to correct.
Seems like it could be accidentally on purpose though until they get caught out. I had no idea about the other glitches.
I have tried to change categories but the software isn't very good about that either - you can only change small things like if you list in miscellaneous and you want to change from cosmetic bags to general miscellaneous - that you can do. But if you want to switch from cosmetic bags to pocketbooks or from general miscellaneous to wedding gifts - you can't go across categories like that.
Its frustrating.
Be nice if they changed that too while they fixed the other glitches as well.
I'd not noticed anyone trying to relist my stuff but I'd doubt they could get more money then I got since I list high. I don't much care if they sell or not - its just sitting in storage containers right now that I don't use in space I don't need yet so I want top dollar for what I offer.
I see no reason why that would effect MY sales though - the sale went through so what happens to the goods after that, shouldn't matter. Same thing with returns frankly because the returns aren't going back to ME - so that shouldn't effect the difference in numbers either.
How would I even know though, if something got returned to Tradesy? I don't see anywhere it would indicated that.
Thanks again. Good to chat with you here. Wish I'd found out about this forum earlier. I can see reading the posts it would have saved me some problems and worries.
You can see if something was returned because when you click on it on your closet page, it shows up in a different closet, or sold by someone in a different closet. On your sales page, the "your earnings" number is missing from the top of the box on the item. This happened to me with an item that now appears in another person's closet but is not available. It might be my buyer, but I don't think she ever tried to sell it. I think she probably just clicked the wrong button and it moved it to her closet. Tradesy may use the same pictures and will allow a buyer to use the same listing to resell an item - that's why it switches closets rather than appearing as a new item.
Wow - Whateve my new BFF! LOL. I never knew any of that. You certainly figured out a lot about this site I never knew. I will click them just for curiosity now because I never noticed anything before and I am curious if anything got returned but that shouldn't effect my SALES number in any event. What. I sold, I sold.
I don't really like the idea of others using my pics and listings to resell my items though. At least they should have to do their own otherwise it seems somehow like it opens the door to scamming and I don't like that I'd be dragged onto that train. If someone wants to resell and they actually still have the item, it shouldn't be a problem to create their own listing and pics. Like using stock photos isn't supposed to be allowed for the reason it enables too much dishonesty. Otherwise they could say they are reselling my thing but it could be a fake or totally something else or they could have really abused and damaged it before trying to resell it as my former listing. But anyhow, I'd be surprised to see any of my stuff being resold. Returned, maybe. I'll check now that I know how.
Thanks.
My number doesn't match either. I have more sales than shown on my page. It may have something to do with returns to Tradesy or when buyer puts item for resale by clicking sell from her order page.
