Are you sure that is why they deactivated your account? I go a long time in between sales and I haven't been deactivated. I didn't make any sales there in April or May. Wouldn't they want to let your account stand so you could purchase? Maybe you weren't responding to messages.

I've heard people say that Mercari limits them to 100 items but I have more than that.

Something is missing here.

How long ago did you sell the shoes?
What brand were they?
Did you get acknowledgement from the buyer that they were acceptable?
Was there a dispute filed?
Have you contacted the buyer?
Have you contacted Mercari?
Did you have other items that you may have sold "off-site?"

I sold the heels about two months ago, nothing expensive (two pairs of Steve Madden heels) and buyers accepted and they released my earnings and then later on, I got a notification saying I was inactive and they were going to deactivate if I didnt show any activity. Not a big deal to me since I'm hardly on it, as of now my listings are still inactive . I got an email from them saying something along the lines of "go into your acct to make some sales!" or something. I'm mostly on ebay & Poshmark

Actually I read that Mercari is the one going under - that doesn't mean Tradesy is not but I read that Mercari is losing a lot of money in the States so I took the money I had been accumulating there out. It was really easy and painless and fast compared to trying to get paid through Tradesy. I no longer leave money on account in either platform now and because of Paypal's new policy requiring social security if you leave money in there - as soon as it goes in - I take it out again. I don't want any of these places to suddenly decide to close their doors and force me to file a creditors note to get my money out!

They’re really big in Japan and I’m sure they can absorb some losses while building market share in the US. They need to do a better job of advertising though.

Thank you for clarifying and explaining. That's odd because it does sound like you were suspended for not selling enough. It makes no sense!

Tradesy closed m account 3 months ago and still owes me thousands of dollars. Time to switch to Mercari or Poshmark or x

Any site has the right to close anyone's account for just about any reason (though not the smartest thing they should do!) but there's no way I'd tolerate losing a dollar that's owed to me and certainly not thousands of dollars. They can't do that legally!

Tradesy or any other site would be hearing from my attorney as well as the attorney general in California! (Note that Tradesy is headquartered in Santa Monica, CA.)

I've had no success (yet) with a few listings on Tradesy and PM seems all about their social platform with "invites" to parties,etc... but I'm not seeing the results in sales. I have a few likes, but that's it. I wanted to test before listing more expensive handbags, but I am not going to do this as I'm not confident in getting sales results. I am very skittish about EBay. Though "it's the largest" marketplace for selling luxury goods, I don't have the history and all the negative experience I hear from friends and tPF, makes me stay away. I am really bummed as I didn't have intention of buying things to sell. I just outgrew them or become less materialistic over the years. I really like to rehome some like new luxury items... I have done FP and Yoogi's in the past. I'm sick of the low balls offer on items, like Chanel in like new condition.

I agree FP lowballs nowadays. In the old days, I would get 14K buyout offers on my brand new B35s, now they are offering me only 11K for my brand new B25 haha

You are more likely to get sales on Poshmark if you have more items listed. So if you’re waiting to list more until you get sales that’s actually a counterproductive strategy.
