The majority of my items are under $50. The rest are under $200 right now. If they do get returned to me, I don't lose any money since Tradesy pays the postage. If I sell the same item on ebay and they buyer wants to return, regardless of whether her claim has merit, I'm forced to accept the return and pay for the return shipping. I lose the money I paid to ship it in the first place and the paypal fees.

Anybody else try to edit a whole group of listings only to come back and find every item edited has now completely disappeared? My overall count is decreased too and the items are just gone after making price adjustments. Trying to get an answer from Tradesy but wondering if anyone else has this problem. Used the app.
Nearly half of my sales are on Tradesy. As much as I hate worrying about returns, the high fees, and how long it takes to get my money, I can't give it up as long as it makes up such a big part of my sales.
I'm with you, whateve. I wish there was another platform that trends to the $100-$300 items. I would leave Tradesy but until that happens I find Poshmark and eBay buyers much more of a hassle than Tradesy buyers and stick with them despite all the changes they've made to the detriment of sellers.
Idiots. So BLAIR sends me an email saying oh they were restricted items. RESTRICTED ITEMS? Women's shoes, boots, jackets, suits - seriously? They are so F&*&ing stupid. They also just happened to disappear right after I edited them to reduce the price. It is so clearly a computer glitch and I can't believe what idiots they have working at Tradesy now. They are responding without thought. How can women's clothes be restricted from a women's clothing apparel website? 100 items. So damn fed up with Tradesy. Does anyone have the name of any of the executives - leadership team that work there? I really want to write to Corporate. This is such a damn waste of my time. If I hadn't reduced the prices, they wouldn't be missing. I can't you can't edit your own listings anymore for fear of them disappearing and some idiot member care team member not being able to figure anything more out just saying they restricted items. Seriously. Alpert Nippon suits - restricted items?

https://www.pymnts.com/news/ecommerce/2020/tradesy-recreating-luxury-retail-liquidation/ In this recent article Tracy is bragging on how Tradesy is doing well thanks to coronavirus because sellers offer deeper discounts. Yup, people had to pay bills and are eager to sell items to get any money at all. Without ANY Tradesy-sponsored promos during this time and new return policy to toss ALL returns back to sellers, Tradesy just put more hardship on people who experience hardship. And she forgot to mention, it's not a "quick cash" like on eBay, PM or Mercari where you are paid in days. It takes almost a month to get paid on Tradesy.
Anyone who is left still selling on Tradesy doing well these days? Until a month and a half ago, I was at least making 1-2 sales a week. I went 6 weeks without a sale and finally succumbed to opting in to their 10%/15%/20% markdown option. I did make 2 sales that weekend but once I opted out of the markdown option haven't had a sale. I'm worried that now without Tradesy offering sales (and making me mark down instead) it will be an end to my Tradesy days.
For some reason I cannot opt-in to Tradesy's promotions anymore. They used to bug me relentlessly to opt-in and I never did, because I have a lot of listings and I felt I would need to reprice everything. Then during Covid I was stuck home so I thought I'd do it, but the option for Tradesy promotions is gone from my profile.
Instead I have "smart pricing" where you put a range of what you will accept your item to sell for. whatever

I've never opted into the sales. I haven't sold anything on any site in the last 2 weeks. My last sale on Tradesy was on 7/20. In July about half of my sales were on Tradesy. I worry that everything has dried up. I've put some new things up but haven't gotten any interest. I honestly don't think the sales help that much as most of my sales I suspect are from people who find my listing on Google, not people who have been watching my listing on Tradesy, waiting for a reduction.
I’ve find my sales to be rather decent, the majority is NWT items though. With TRR and other commercial resellers running low with inventory due to pandemic interruption to their supply chains, buyers have been flocking to everywhere I think. Per TRR latest earnings, their revenue was hampered by lack of inventories. Also I suspect that folks who are in strong positions find their vacations being iced left and right and spend their extra funds on personal luxuries instead
I'm still doing ok and I haven't dropped any prices. Does anyone remember the last time that had one of their promo codes? I feel like it has been so long. I hope they bring them back at least once a month...
as a matter of fact, there's a flash sale going on right now, the first 500 buyers get 10% off. they haven't done one since March/April
