I have submitted several bags for quotes but the quotes were always very low so I never ended up using them.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

I submitted one bag but they wouldn't even quote. They said the bag was in bad condition but I've seen others listed that are worse. Mine really isn't in bad condition at all. I think the real reason is they didn't want the style.
Was it a Balenciaga? The bottom kind of fell out of those, which always happens after an IT-bag is over. Someone in my family told me they couldn't give away Chanel bags in the 70s- they used to sell them at all the higher end stores and they showed up at every garage sale for a while.
I think I sold more on Tradesy in the last 6 months then I did in the last 3 years. I hope the stuff doesn't come back to me. Also, I opened an instagram shop and wonder if that is why I got more sales. I have very few followers but follow everyone back - then of course - they unfollow me but I leave them in my follows. I am wondering if it is just leading those people to take a look at my Tradesy through the instagram posts. I don't post much either - just a few inventory items every so often.
Hi! I used Tradesy's pre-paid shipping label to ship a NWT Chanel handbag. What will happen if buyer never picks up the package? I believe it's signature required, as this is what USPS tracking shows: Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available.) Return address on the USPS shipping label is the Tradesy office in California. Anyone know what Tradesy will do when they receive back the package back to their office? Will the authenticate, keep and release my funds? Or will they ship my package back to me? Thank you!
In the past, they would keep the bag, release your funds, and sell it themselves. Now, who knows? They are trying to not get stuck with returns. Maybe they will contact the buyer and attempt redelivery first.
I appreciate your reply, thank you! I already sent a msg to the buyer, so I'm hoping she picks up the package soon or arranges for redelivery.
Tradesy sent me three of the items I sold back to me, 2 belts and a bag. All are high end, sold NWT. When I received the items, one belt has been worn, it's all wrinkled and cracked, and seems to have a fingerprint (the belt is white). The bag has definitely been used, it's also wrinkled and cracked. I showed it to my SO, and he said it seems like someone sat on it (the bag retails above $1000). Another belt has been sent back to me in the same condition, however the authenticity cards are missing. It's just so so horrible. Will be calling the management tomorrow. No way I'm keeping any of them. If they refuse to resolve it, I will ship the items back to them, and if afterwards they refuse to pay, I'll file a complaint that they stole money from me.
I have 4 items left listed that I'm trying to sell and I'm so out. Complete scammers. So mad! And I sold items worth almost $200,000 paying them full commission. Unbelievable!

That really sucks. Sorry.
Why not pull your last few listings and just put up them elsewhere. They don’t deserve those last few commission dollars from you.
I thought about it. But the items I have left are pricy and high end, they are most likely to sell on Tradesy. I like Posh, but its just much harder to sell high end there.
More likely to sell but high risk of being sent back to you in worse condition. Not worth it. I have sold high end stuff on posh. Sometimes it takes a while but it does happen. And posh has always protected me from flaky or sketchy buyers. Vestiaire Collective is another option. Also slow but depending on brand you may get lucky.
Overall, its not just Tradesy. Tradesy's fault is their inability to create a system that will handle situations like that or establish a better return policy.
But what sucks are people who buy things, use them and then lie and send them back. I think those people suck more than Tradesy.
I'll probably try VC in addition to Poshmark. Thank you
Knock on wood but I have always had good protection from posh. Lollipuff is another option. Your stuff is preauthenticated through your pics when you list it and you can specify no returns.
People do suck but Tradesy coddles it.
