I am sure Tradesy informs prosellers about upcoming sales in advance. Do they still pay only a 10% commission? Btw, You actually can change your pride during sale if you end your listing, revise the price and list it again.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I’m not sure what they do when the sale starts, but I wanted to buy an item from one of these changing-price-during-sale-pro-sellers during a sale a few months ago. I always wait until the last minute because I have to wait until the family is asleep to do my shopping, and at about 10 minutes before midnight before the sale ended she put her closet on vacation and changed all of her prices back to the original price, then once the sale was over, she took her closet off of vacation. I guess this was so she could edit her prices and make sure that no one purchased with the lower “regular” price in addition to the sale discount. My guess is that when the sale has just started they also put their closet on vacation so no one can purchase, change out their prices to the higher prices, and then take their closet off of vacation so they’re ready for purchase again.
I sold a bag on ebay. When I went to remove it from Tradesy, it wasn't in my closet. I did a search on Tradesy for my bag and found it. I don't know if this is a major problem. At least it could be found in a search. I have too many items to easily determine if any others are missing.
I had this exact thing happen to me a few months ago and it also worried me because I couldn't tell how many other items just vanished. I don't think I was able to find mine in a search though - but then - Tradesy's search function is so bad I rarely can find things I'm looking for anyway!
It just freaks me out - I don't think people need to see ANYTHING modeled on a live person in order to decide if they want it or not. I picture a weirdo getting off on it or laughing that I'd do it for them. I also find those people with all the extra requests and questions are just time wasters that rarely buy anything or customers that are never happy and will return and complain about whatever they did buy. I find when someone wants something - they just BUY it. I could see fabric content mattering if you have an allergy or find wool itchy but then someone with those concerns will specifically ask about that. I sometimes photograph labels if I have time or especially if it is a high end designer that is often faked or a sought after fabric - pure silk, pure cashmere, but not usually if it is a mid range manufacturer or a blended fabric. Most people don't , at least, I hardly ever see it done except if they are trying to "prove" an item is genuinely authentic.

I sold something and it is a few days to a week before the item gets delivered - so they already have your money that long (Ebay money goes right into your personal account the second the buyer pays). Then after delivery, I got the message that my funds will be available on a certain date - which is exactly another 21 days from the point it was delivered. When they finally make the money available - it is another 3 or 4 days to see the transfer hit your own account. So I basically figure on - if I sell an item and ship it right away - payment will be a month away. I wouldn't mind as much if they weren't already taking such a huge chunk out of the purchase price for their own commission and then another chunk - to transfer the balance to you. But it is what it is so I just don't "bank" on the money for at least a month from the date of sale.
I'm actually wondering if people are still having trouble getting emails when customers have questions or when a sale is made and needs to be confirmed? I am. First they told me they are using a new email system and maybe it has some bugs - but this issue started sporadically a long while before that. They promised to look into it again but I'm wondering if these emails could be getting bounced from my own email provider for some reason - maybe they think its spam.
It could be. Did you check your spam folder? I've gotten a few questions in the past few days and I got emails for them, so I don't think I'm having any problems getting emails. Sometimes I wonder if the buyers are getting my responses because they don't thank me or buy.
I prefer seeing fabric content. That said, if there is no photo of the tag and nothing in the description, I just move on rather than ask.
I was looking at the instructions for selling on tradesy and noticed it says tradesy will ship the packaging to seller to use when they make a sale.
so does that mean there will be a lag time on the buyer's end? rather than seller shipping item possibly same day or next day, it will take a few days while seller waits for packaging?
