does seller get to see positive fb from tradesy? I bought a bag from a small seller and was happy with it. Tradesy sent me an email asking if I was happy with everything. I gave positive marks. Does seller get this info?
I was thinking of sending her a message but I don't really like how the messages seem to go on a board for everyone to see.
Seller went the extra mile for me sending me a video when I asked questions before buying

The seller will not see the feedback about your purchase from filling in the survey. If you send her a message, the message is private, no one else can see it. Unless you mean that Tradesy staff could view it if they wanted to?

thanks
guess I'll just send her a message. I'd thought about sending her a photo but seems you can't do that

thanks
I sent her a message
wanted to send a picture with it but couldn't seem to do that
I don't know if she cares but I always like to hear that a buyer is happy when I sell something

So do I! I think it’s a nice gesture.
There is no way to send photos as far as I know.

I'd love it if my buyers sent me messages when they are happy. Tradesy doesn't tell you and they hold your money for weeks, while you worry it might be returned.

You have to worry about returns on ebay too. On ebay they usually happen sooner so you don't have to worry as long but occur more frequently. There are more scammers on ebay. I just dealt with one who opened a return request not as described for a bag that was perfectly described. She even posted pictures of her new bag on her Facebook page. Then she returned to me her ratty beat-up smoky used bag that was a different style. She used ebay's money back guarantee to get a free bag at my expense.

I've only had one bag returned to me by Tradesy as supposedly not as described. At least they paid for the shipping. On ebay you lose the shipping cost on a return. In most cases, Tradesy will sell returns themselves so you don't have to deal with it. The main complaint about Tradesy is that you have to wait a month to get your money.

Bonanza is so slow! I've sold one thing there this year and 4 last year. I think that if you have the same items listed on ebay, they are less likely to sell on Bonanza.

Ebay is a necessary evil for me. I still make the majority of sales there so if I don't list there, my sales would drop off immensely. Last year, Tradesy was catching up. I was making about half of my sales there, but it has dropped off to almost nothing. I've only made 4 sales this year on Tradesy.

I've found that each selling site has its own type of buyers. Something that is popular on one site isn't popular on another. It works for me to cross-list.

I just don't have the stomach for problems with sales. I had one issue years ago on a Bonanza sale. The woman's confirmed address on paypal would not accept the delivery or something like that. She made excuses and wanted me to complete the sale but I didn't trust her. I had gotten it back from the PO and sold it to someone else.
But it was stressful. Even tho I didn't lose money (except for shipping)

some of these sites don't seem to allow for (or maybe it's just they don't encourage) detailed descriptions. It will just say used or good condition. I like to elaborate if there are any flaws on a bag. I guess that can be done in the course of answering questions from a potential buyer.
