kind of disappointing for me as I'm always anxious to receive my items...oh well

It doesn't always mean that. Tradesy gives sellers a few options: use Tradesy's shipping kit, use Tradesy's label, or ship on their own. I don't think many sellers use the kit anymore. In most cases it is just a plastic bag with a label and it costs more than just the label. If the seller chooses to use the label, it is available for printing immediately after the sale is made. So many sellers do ship the same or next day. However, Tradesy's rules allow a seller to wait as long as 5 days to confirm and ship.
I just noticed that on the website it says my seller usually takes 7 to 10 days to ship. that seems like a long time to me. I don't recall waiting that long for the other bag I bought on Tradesy. hoping she will ship sooner. Maybe if I don't see any communication soon, I'll ask her when she expects to ship?
No harm in doing that. Maybe ask her if she is waiting for Tradesy packaging. Do you only see that because you have only purchased? On my Tradesy items, it says responds within 24 hours and has a lightning bolt.
on my order it says estimated delivery 3/7-3/10 but then it says in her profile that she usually ships in 7 to 10 days......
The profile is written by the seller herself. I don't know why people take so long. When I sell something, I want it gone as soon as possible.
same here
I often ship same day I get paid
I'm surprised tradesy gives them that much time
Actually it used to be 10 days from the day of the sale to confirm and ship. I think they've reduced that. Now it is 3 days to confirm. I don't know how long to ship but I know they've sent me emails the next day if my package hadn't been scanned yet.
I don't have a lot of experience selling but somewhere I got the idea it was good to ship right away. And I am always anxious to have my sale go well so I ship as fast as I can...never later than one day after I get paid. I guess not everyone is OCD like that.
Wonder what’s going on...there seems to be a promo code almost every week now...
They aren't resulting in sales for me. I've only made 3 sales all year. The last sale was ridiculously small and they haven't released the money yet; it's been 10 days.
I feel their promos are geared towards driving up the app audience, other than the usual flash coupons sale. Whereas in the VC thread I mentioned that they haven’t done coupons since before Christmas. Tradesy should know where their traffic growth is coming from, I have a hard time distinguishing but my sense is my sales have been coming from the app.
I agree. A lot of their better promos (the 10% off your entire purchase ones) were geared to “app only”. But in general, I feel like there’s a new promo almost every other day vs before when they would only release it what seemed to be mid-month or around specific holidays.
