Thank you, that was my thought process for the first month and a half, but when the seller stopped responding to my messages (I only sent 3-4 total over 7 weeks) it made me think it was time to cancel.

I totally agree. Especially when they stopped responding to my messages, like they knew it was hopeless (and of course know I cannot leave a review). The weird thing is that they still have their store open on tradesy as if they are still shipping!
That's awesome. I'm from NYC and I had to put my closet on vacation mode. There is no way I'd be caught at a post office at this time and they aren't even coming when I request at home pick ups.
That's a shame. I have no problem in my small town in California with home pick ups. I wouldn't sell now if I had to go to a post office. Have you considered using FedEx? I don't know what their rules are for pick up but I see a lot of drop off bins around town.
I closed my shop too (put on max vacation) with notice that all items are available elsewhere if you search for them. Not because of shipping delays, I ship my own items from my home and delays are 3-5 days tops.
Tradesy just keeps money eternally (2 wks and counting just for funds to become available) and they send all returns to sellers but give buyers a site credit. Paying themselves 23% commission for doing nothing.

Update on funds release. Since it's over 15 days and counting and there's no return or anything, I was emailing Tradesy and got response that my funds had been released.
Right, except this doesn't show on my page and it's is still on hold. This is new.

I've had no shipping issues but I tell buyers up front I only ship twice a week so they don't expect Amazon rate delivery. But I've only had a couple of sales in the past several months and luckily, none of them were returned to me. A few sales on Tradesy were still more then I've had on Mercari and Poshmark. In fact, I get zero sales on Poshmark and Mercari except for annoying low ball offers on Mercari from people who could barely put a cohesive sentence together -plus now Mercari is back to blocking new listings without adding a debit/credit card which I won't do. Wouldn't do it on Paypal and surely doing it on some Japanese owned company - LOL. Tradesy is still holding funds for the full month though which is very annoying to have to keep checking
No fake sh*t
This is how Tradesy is advertising now? Seriously? Has their advertising child lost her mind?
So trashy. Just the kind of people you DON'T want to attract. They couldn't think of a classier way to say we authenticate all our products?
I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the bottom of their cover page. No fake sh*t. Unbelievable.
Kind of embarrassing to be associated with a company that speaks like that.

Smart selling. Also - aside from them now advertising with the trashy "No fake sh*t" slogan - they want us to sign up for smart selling which is a lousy gimic apparently stolen from Mercari that nobody uses because they drop your prices so low so fast you wind up earning peanuts on some items that might otherwise take longer to sell but when the right person comes along - will be willing to pay its true value.
I hate it when companies think it is okay to talk like a teenager.
I got used to their lingo in emails. We screwed up? "Oh my Gosh, I would be so worried if I were you". "but don't you worry"... I think Billie Eilish would look the most mature among them. Duh
Has anybody tried this or have any thoughts about it? I thought I'd get some chatter.
I always turn off the smart price button, and ignore emails re Your Item is Popular but Your Price is not. The fake crap lingo has been around for a while now, again I just tune it out. I do me and that’s that, sales have been steady for the past few weeks, it was slow during April but first 3 months of the year were terrific so no complaints.
I do the same. I price it at what I want and leave it at that.
ETA: I do use the promote feature on Mercari. If someone likes my item, I use the "promote to likers" feature because the promote to everyone locks you into a 5% drop, which I don't think will entice anyone. But this is usually because I've already built it into the listing. I generally price my items higher on Mercari in anticipation of getting offers.
I've had a pending sale for over 24 hours. I can see it in my sold items in my closet but it isn't showing up on the sales page yet. I've had this happen before and eventually it comes through, but I'm wondering if no one is working at Tradesy's offices, if it will still come through or does someone actually have to make it happen?
