That's terrible! I was worried when I had a bunch of sales in a row, but all my money from those has been released. I think in my case, nothing was returned. As far as I know, Tradesy still has one of my returns they have been trying to sell for a year. Over all the time I've been on Tradesy, only one item has been returned to me.ok now it's getting toughthey returned 4 of my items during the last week, they were all fairly priced, some were really popular or rare and unique, some sold in hours after I posted them. they just started to return all of them and I am terrified. every third sale is a return. too many buyers have too many site credits I guess, and they just buy stuff knowing they can return it easily, so they don't choose wisely as they do at the other sites.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

so does Mercari have buyers who buys high-end items? I tried it a couple of years ago and sold one pair of loubs after a month. I have someone to ship my items every days, but I am out of the country, and they started blocking the app when I was outside US. When I asked their support for help, they said I am only allowed to use the app when I'm in the country. that's ridic cause I couldn't handle anything though I was ready to ship. and then they asked for my SSN. is it anything like that now?
I think the return rate for expensive items is higher
and now it's unbelievable high for me. i have 2 more items returned and still under review by Tradesy, so I sold 12 items and 6 of them were returned, all during June. never happened before!!
Their Penny Lane proprietary closet is down to 192 items so it looks like they are really restricting what they are keeping. I noticed they also updated their terms of service to say they reserve the right to return an item to the seller "for any reason."ok now it's getting tough
I used to be able to find great deals as a buyer on there too, but I think because there's less in the tradesy proprietary closet and sellers are leaving there's a lot less to be found.
As I have pulled my items from Tradesy I have started listing a few items on Mercari. No sales yet though. What sells well for you on there?
That's horrible! About half of my items are under the return threshold dollar amount and most of my sold items are purse charms. People don't usually return those.
I've still had sales on Posh but I def think I am getting lower offers due to the tax, so I have to be willing to take a little lower to make things move.
I started listing a few items in the Reetzy FB groups but no sales yet. I also wish Lollipuff would do some actual advertising for its site b/c the fees are low and they pre-authenticate everything, but no one knows about the site so stuff just sits.
I have no idea. I've only had a few returned over the years. Once on Bonanza because even though I had changed my settings to not accept returns, somehow this individual listing still allowed returns.that's crazy
Just to clarify, no one has returned one of mine on Tradesy, but someone used to return a lot of scarves back when Tradesy resold them themselves.
I also began putting some things on Mercari when Tradesy started this new return policy in April. I haven't sold a thing yet on Mercari and generally have 2 sales a week on Tradesy so Mercari hasn't been a promising replacement for Tradesy.
I’m sorry to hear about your blight. Am curious to understand though what these items are and why would buyers not want them. Shoes and clothes are tricky with sizing, no longer sell those... am down to my last 3 pairs but used to sell loads until a couple of years ago. They’re new and in my size too lol, I can wear them worse comes to worst.
Also you mentioned that someone else is shipping on your behalf, does that imply you’re not with your inventory and hence not taking photos of the listings?
not all the time, only when I am traveling. I am professional seller, and I always make tones of high resolution pictures and detailed description with all the measurements. i made $500 000 during 4 years on Tradesy on high-end shoes. It always went great and I never had so many returns. So I am 100% positive it's not about me or my merchandise
I don't list or sell very many items, but I've noticed since about the beginning of the year that
1 -it does take the full 21 days for them to release my funds for every sale. Then about 14 days to transfer the money.
2 -I opt into Tradesy 'sales' and my stuff is ALWAYS on sale. Now it's on sale, and there is no 'sale ends' date like there usually is.
Is it like this for anyone else?
