You were right. They were checking on the buyer to make sure she was not using a fraud payment or stolen credit card. They did approve my sale this morning. I checked on this buyers history and she has never bought or sold anything on Tradesy, so I called Tradesy CS. They were great. I told them I'm having doubts about selling this buyer. It looks like she just opened a Tradesy account. They were able to see that she tried to purchase a pair of CL Pigalles 2 years ago, but the seller declined the sale. I googled, smoogled her and found her FB and Insta account. The name of her business is on FB and Insta, but she has not done one thing. She states she's a stylist, but has only posted pics of Rhinna, Beyonce, and other celebs photos from magazines. She opened her business back in 2018, but doesn't have any posts on what she has done. She only has 3 followers on Insta and she has not posted since 2/2021. I do not know if I want to sell my Chanel bag to her. I really wish she had reached out to me before she purchased my bag. I have not sold on tradesy for over 2 years. When I used to sell my CL shoes, LV bags and other high end items I would have buyers messaging me many times asking if I can lower the price or ask questions. Tradesy said I do not have to go through with the sale and have 4 days to confirm. Not sure what i should do.

You can reach out to her too to thank for the order and make sure she's aware that signature is required. To see if she responds.

OMG. How come Tradesy touches up my photos? I had a personal photo of one of my items and they touched it up. Now the color looks different than the item I'm selling.

Was it the first one? I thought that was the only one they altered, by removing the background. You can replace the photo in your listing and they probably won't alter it again.

Yes, I think I will do that. I was able to google this buyer and just found out her house is worth $200,000. I feel bad for saying this, but most of my buyers own houses for $800,000 or more. This bag is worth $9,000.

My house is worth $200,000. Lol. That's because we bought it 25 years ago, it's all paid for and I have more money for bags. ;) So don't use that standard to make your decision! Also it really depends on where you live. That said, I wouldn't sell someone a $9,000 bag who didn't have ANY purchases or sales you can find. Sell it elsewhere.

Yes, it was my first picture. They had altered it last two days ago and I replaced it with my original picture. I just logged into my Tradesy listing and saw they did it again!!!

Yes, your are right. I should not use that standard. I felt bad after I posted that. It's really none of my business on how much someone's house is. I ended up talking to Tradesy CS and they recommended I message her. I sent her a message to let her know I would be sending signature confirmation and she will need to sign for the bag. She messaged me back and was really nice and said that would work for her. I also took a lot more up close pictures of the handbag and sent the pictures to Tradesy CS, so if she tries to return a nonauthentic bag or damages the bag they will protect me. I just hope it turns out ok.

Now I'm starting to regret shipping my brand new Chanel bag to the new buyer on Tradesy. She got the handbag on Saturday and has not once responded to my message. I messaged her letting her know I was so glad she got the bag and hoped she loved it. She responded to the message I had sent her about having to sign for signature confirmation in less than 2 seconds before I shipped the handbag, but now that she has it she is not responding. She better not damage my bag or send a fake one back!!!!

Hopefully it's just the buyer wants to check on the bag thoroughly before she committed to the purchase. But I'm telling you, you are very brave, and many sellers like you are, I just can not do that, I can't sell anything expensive to any strangers without some kind of guarantee, especially if something that high value, that's why lots of times I took huge hit selling to consignments or going through third party.

Since you had contacted tradsey and they had confirmed you to ship, I would think tradsey has to take some responsibility if anything happens. I guess now you will have to sit and wait and getting all the files ready just in case the buyer is a scammer.

I rarely hear from buyers after they receive the bag.

Tradesy's software is a mess. A few weeks ago they sent me a message that said my listings were going to expire if I didn't log in. I went to the site and saw I was already logged in. I wasn't sure if that would register with their system so I created a new listing. The next day I sold something. That was on April 12. I shipped, the buyer received it, the money was released, I withdrew it, and it is now in my bank account.

Today they sent me this message:
"We haven’t seen you login to Tradesy for over 60 days so we’ve deactivated your listings just in case you’re not interested in selling them anymore. If you still want a chance at those earnings, all you have to do is login to the Tradesy website or app!"

I go to the site, which I am already logged into, and all my listings have been removed.
