I'm very surprised how few items I sold on tradesy during the three day coupon code 
Personally, I wish they had bigger coupons for more expensive items. I've had my eye on this dior bag for a while and the seller won't budge on the price, $100 doesn't make much of a dent when the item is $2k+

I never sell anything during the coupons. Most of my items are too cheap for the coupon.I'm very surprised how few items I sold on tradesy during the three day coupon code
Yeah I think that's what everyone was afraid of when Tradesy first started stretching out the payment timelines. I think Tradesy is big enough now though that if they went under they would probably be bought out by another company rather than simply liquidate....at least I hope.OMG I've just read about Designer Vault, it's so scary, she was reputable and well known. any of us can be in the same situation as these poor sellers who didn't get their money if smth happens to Tradesy, as they hold our funds forever on their account before releasing them. knocking on wood

Me too. Maybe that's why they extended the coupon 3 days--it was supposed to be for 1 day. I only had one sale.
I noticed this change too. all items pop up in random order including sold items. It may be good for active listings, something may catch buyer's attention. But I often rely on my sold section to check current sales, if the item is sold it takes time for sale confirmation. I prefer to have it ready and ship right away once I get email. I can't rely on my active and sold numbers because I change active all the time, and sold number is not accurate.something weird is going on, when I click on my closet, I see my very very old listings in my sold and removed sections. and they keep changing constantly. now I see the boots I have sold today, and then go 2 bags that I sold maybe 2 years ago
The other problem is that the items I put up most recently are no longer on the first page so I can't check easily to see if they've cleaned the pictures. Plus I usually get some likes right away on new listings and I like to use that number to help predict how easy it will be to sell.
I've never sold with Tradesy, but I'm in the middle of a problem with them as a buyer. A week ago I purchased a bag from the website which came from their own returns closet. Within 2 days I got notification that it had shipped with a tracking number thru USPS. 5 days later there's no update to the tracker. Unfortunately, USPS says that the label was generated electronically, but the package never arrived. Tradesy says it was sent to USPS. The package is missing for 5 days and all Tradesy and USPS can do is point at each other and say that it's the other one's fault. So I'm pretty sure that my bag is either lost, stolen, or sitting in a corner somewhere without a shipping label and I'm the only one who cares. Adding insult to injury, Tradesy continues to send promotional emails touting "next day shipping"! Silly me for thinking that buying directly from them would somehow be more reliable than buying from a random seller through the site. Thanks for letting me vent.
5 days isn't long enough to get really worried. Since it wasn't ever scanned by USPS, Tradesy should give you a complete refund. However, if I was the seller, I would want to wait around 10 days to see if it showed up. USPS is supposed scan at every stage of movement but they don't always. I hope you ultimately get your bag, or at least your refund. You shouldn't have any problem getting the refund from your credit card company if Tradesy is uncooperative.
This too. and number of likes helps me to decide on the price, which offers I should consider. .
Don't worry just yet. USPS is running horribly slow this season, many of my outgoing packages on Etsy and my supplies were delayed. Priority should take 2-3 days, OK reasonably 4-5 days, but packages were sitting in TX and Brooklyn for 10 days. It took 4 days for another package to move from my PO to local sorting facility, it usually takes few hours.
So 5 days delay on top of 5-7 days delivery is a "new Holiday normal" for USPS.
