As a buyer on Tradesy, it's not pleasant to hear from various posters that payments are "being held up".
My transactions on Tradesy have been quite pleasant & found the exchange of communication with the
seller(s) & for the most part customer service reps to be satisfactory.
 
It used to take about 11 days or so for mine. I don't sell much, but my last three sales I've had to contact them after 20+ days for the funds to actually be released!
My last two transfers took close to a month! I have 5 outstanding sales now. Two were released mid October and I'm still waiting. The other three sales were just made last week so I probably won't see that money until sometime in December. It is nerve-wracking.
 
... I called Tradesy and was told they will expedite my payouts. Now when I open my account and check the status of these payouts, it just says expedited for release or something. I kind of think their new return policy did no good for them, it does appear to me that Tradesy is struggling now more than before.

So after reading this I also requested to "expedite" my transfers. Ridic, really. like I'm here for a long time and money used to hit my bank account on the 4-7th day. with all the same system. whatever they are pulling out now about manual transfers and how they are shot-handed is a complete BS.
Q: now how long does it take for money to drop after request to expedite?

If you continue to sell on Tradesy after the quite obvious issues they’ve been having for the past 6 months you’re willingly putting yourself in a stressful situation.
That is true. I don't like it but I still make a large percentage of my sales on Tradesy so I'm willing to take the risk rather than give up having those sales. There is a different kind of risk in selling those items on ebay. I only get nervous with Tradesy when I have a backlog of sales I haven't been paid for.

I used to sell on Tradesy and continue to sell on eBay posh and mercari. If you pull your stuff from Tradesy your buyers might find you elsewhere. I am averaging about the same sales overall on the other platforms combined. The risk on eBay is much lower because you have the money in your pocket instantly and only have to worry about the odd one off unwarranted NAD claims. That is not EVERY sale like it is with Tradesy where you don’t know if you will get paid because they might be out of business the next day. I just feel like I am watching people stay with an abusive boyfriend the way people on this thread continue to take BS from Tradesy and don’t leave.

It crossed my mind that I'm making more sales on Tradesy because so many sellers have left.
 
I hate Tradesy now. I have been selling on Tradesy every since they opened. I had a buyer return a brand new with tags jacket to Tradesy, because it did not fit. Of course they used the excuse of not knowing Market Value and shipped it back to me!!!! WTF. The tags clearly show the retail price. It's an item for sale right now at Neiman Marcus.

when did you find out about return to you? was it after 4 days since delivery or it doesn't matter and Tradesy can send you return any time they want? I'm just trying to figure out new timelines after I came back from a long vacation and I'm very confused.
 
Ugh... I had such a horrible experience on Ebay. A buyer returned my item claiming its "not as described" when the pics show exactly what it is. Based on the language, I did some digging and found this seller did the same thing with this same bag on a different platform. This time I had added more pics and yet the same thing. I reported to Ebay And Ebay said they will always side with the buyer because no matter how many pics a seller posts, a buyer can always find something they don't like and is "NOT AS DESCRIBED". soo annoyed

I don't think ebay says they always side with the buyer even if they do. I had an experience where a buyer claimed not as described and was allowed to return. She didn't return my purse, which she posted on her Facebook page. She returned her old ratty used one. I told ebay and they allowed me to keep the money. I think they gave her a refund too. A few months later she are NARUed from ebay. I guess she did it again. Eventually they will remove members if they pull something too many times.

I'm not a seller but I would find this practice quite annoying & it has been mentioned several times on tPF
with Tradesy
What is going on there??
A tag clearly has a price tag & Tradesy comes up with an explanation that is not even plausible.
