Yes, I got paid. My transfer went through to my bank yesterday. I'm so glad everything worked out with my sale. I'm sorry PM asked you to cancel the order. That is so upsetting. You should tried to sell it on Tradesy.
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

great to know! I feel the sale is never complete until I see deposit on the bank account.
As for cover images Tradesy uses a software to clean images and must have a color correct feature there. You can try clean image yourself in Fotofuze, it's free and maybe Tradesy won't touch that image.
Thanks for letting me know about the software that they use to change the images. I just emailed them and told them to please stop changing my pics!!!! It takes me a long time to take a lot of up close pictures of my items. I want to get the serial numbers, inside, outside.... They are such idiots!!! They keep changing the colors of my original pics. It makes my items look like a diff color. They also have the audacity to delete some of my original pics!!! Sick of them. They need to keep their hands out of my pics!!!!!
I don’t know if anyone noticed but Tradesy hasn’t run any promos in a while, as a result my sales declined by A LOT. I think customers were used to weekly discounts, promos etc.
Today I spoke to a Tradesy rep and he told me there won’t be any promos in the foreseeable future, he said maybe for Memorial Day.
Honestly, I think it’s pretty ****ty of Tradesy. They claimed that despite them being acquired by Verstiaire collective, there wouldn’t be any changes. And this is clearly a MAJOR change that drastically effects business for a lot of sellers.
kind of makes me think that Tradesy days are over. I think one thing that Verstiare wanted was Tradesy users and they got that. I don’t think they necessarily care about Tradesy as a selling platform on its own. Sad..

If VC offers an easy way to transfer listings from Tradesy I would do it because of lower fees, final sales and in-person authentication.
I don't really get it, how Tradesy's commission is the highest among selling platforms - almost 23%, yet the amount of responsibility and support is the worst. They push returns on sells, don't do authentication in person and don't help with anything unless you make a huge public stink. The highest commission, the worst support and no promos now? Plus annoying tech bugs that deactivate your closet.
I'm still not selling there, waiting for better terms. Like
1) All sales are final unless not as described.
2) Their office authenticates items over $500 before shipping to buyer (hard to pull any BS after that).
3) CS handles issues like in a grown-up company
4) reduce commission to match their parent company VC or at least run lots of promos.
I think authentication of items before shipping to buyers probably won't happen. I sell on Poshmark as well (postmark authenticates items above $600), and recently they introduced a new feature. Sellers like myself, who have a good sales record, can now ship orders directly to buyers without Posh authentication. I think they do it to save money and time. So I highly doubt that Tradesy will switch to in-person authentication.
I don't think it has been very long. I get text notifications of promotions. 10% off on April 17, $100 off on April 29. The last two promotions on May 5 and May 8 were both for Vestiaire.
I'm the same on PM. I brought in-person authentication because it's VC's business model and Tradesy is part of them now. but VC does that for newly reduced commission 14% (if I'm not mistaken) and Tradesy doesn't do anything for 23% commission. That strikes me as odd.
I hate it when someone asks you if you can lower your price and then never buys it. Don't waste my time!!!!
Yeah but they used to have a $100 coupon off without any special promotions. And had extra promotions almost every weekend. The last promotion for Tradesy was more than two weeks ago.
(So glad I google and research any new buyers on Tradesy. I know I posted on this thread a week ago that a buyer messaged me asking if I could lower the price on one of my brand new item that is selling for $750. I lowered the price for her, but she never bought the item. I just got a message from a new buyer. The tone of their message was shady too. This is their mug shot. https://mugshots.com/US-States/Pennsylvania/Bucks-County-PA/Matouma-Weedor-Dorbor.5268925.html. Thankfully I checked before I considered lowering the price and selling to them. I recommend all of us here on TPF google and research any new buyers for high end items, especially if they are brand new with tags and over $750. I bet this person would have either damaged them and sent them back or most likely send back fake ones.
When you get an offer, you don't get the buyer's complete name, do you? It isn't until you accept the offer that you see their name on the label.
This buyer had their full name listed on their Tradesy account and the name of her Twitter account. I could also see she lived in PA and it was linked to her Twitter account. I'm so glad I checked before I took her offer. Yes, she was arrested back in 2011 a long time ago, but I will not sell to someone that was charged with Identity Theft.
