She ended up messaging me again about 2 days after I told her I would not lower the price. She was very rude again. When she first sent me a message she just said" Hey will you lower the price" When I messaged her back I said " I'm so I cannot lower the price." Did not hear back from her until 3 to 4 days later. She message me again asking " How fast can you ship the item". I'm sure she wanted to wear them for some party or something she was attending and then try to return them worn and damaged or just send a fake item back

This is just absurd! For a Memorial Day Sale they are offering on Tradesy a 10% off coupon for Vestiaire. And no discount for Tradesy.
They need to be more transparent about this whole transition. They are so many sellers who rely on Tradesy for their sales. If they are planning on shutting Tradesy down in the future (I'm sure they are), at least, they need to make sellers aware of any changes. Tradesy was always shady and could care less about its sellers. This is another example of that.
And Vestiaire sucks. The website is so buggy. Every time I go on their website, I leave after a minute, because can't deal with how crappy it is. For a company that raised hundreds of millions, they can do much better.

OMG I cannot believe how many requests I have been getting on Tradesy. I just made a new sale last night. I messaged the buyer that I would be dropping her package off at Fedex today. She then messaged me and asked if I can ship her item to Canada. First of all her address is in the US. I live in the US. I already printed out the Fedex label with her Tradesy shipping address, which is in the US. I'm not shipping to another country. Has this happened to anyone else? Would you ship to a different address in another country?
Yes don’t worry. It happened to me before. She’s using a freight company. I’m pretty sure the US address on the label is the address of a freight company that will forward the order to your customer. I had many sales like that. Never had any issues.
Thank you. I just got off the phone with the Tradesy CS rep. She was not very helpful. She said I should message the buyer now to make sure it's their correct address on the shipping label. No, I'm not going to message the buyer again. When this buyer messaged me yesterday she said the address on her Tradesy account is her relatives in the US. She asked if I can ship to Canada, because her relatives will not be able to bring the item to her until August. That is not my fault. She should have messaged me before she bought my item. I also do not state that I ship out of the country under any of my items for sale. This buyer can just ask her relatives to ship the item to her in Canada once they get it. Why do I have to deal with shipping to Canada. It would cost a lot more, customs takes forever. I never like to ship international. If I message the buyer and confirm the shipping address I bet she will want to cancel the sale now. I have already printed out the label, wrapped up the item, packaged in a box, used up most of my packaging tape. This is not fair to me as a seller. i also had two orders just cancelled on Tradesy. I never have this many issues with PM. I will just drop off the package today and email her the tracking number. I will let her know I spoke to Tradesy CS and they said I cannot ship to another address and I do not ship to Canada.
She should have contacted Tradesy CS, not you. Sellers don't have control over the address, Tradesy can change it and send you a new label. But it's all within USA, you can's ship internationally on this site. Using shipping forwarder will cost her extra, but it's her problem.

OMG it has now been 12 days and my funds still have not been transferred to my bank!!! I can't stand Tradesy. I had a buyer purchase an item two days ago and I dropped it off at fedex last night. She just messaged me asking to return it. I messaged her back letting her know I already dropped it off at Fedex. I wish she had asked to cancel the order two days ago. II called Tradesy CS and they said she can still return it and they will ship it back to me after inspection. I did not realize that you can now return anything if you don't like it and we don't get our $$$. I'm done. I'm selling everything on PM now. First of all your get paid in 3 days or less, not 12 damn days, buyers cannot return just because they do not like the item.
Exactly that's why I switched to PM. on Tradesy ppl buy bags and shoes to wear for party, return worn without tags and parts and Tradesy approves return. They toss it back to the seller without checking anything (it's a third party Pitney Bowes that handles returns). CS is a joke. If I send them pics of how I shipped it with tags they ignore it.
And for such returns you are out of money and your item for almost a month or even longer if there are shipping issues

This is terrible!!! I had not even realized they were doing this, since I have never had any returns. The CS rep I spoke to was also condescending and rude to me!!!! I told her I'm taking all of my $50,000 worth of items off of Tradesy and putting them on PM. She had this rude attitude, which is another reason why they just lost me as a seller. I had been selling on Tradesy ever since they bought out the previous company. I still have not received my funds to my bank yet. They need to be treating the sellers with respect. If it was not for the sellers they would not be in business!!!! I still have two more $600 jackets that I'm waiting to get paid for. One got delivered 5 days ago and the second one just got delivered today. I just hope the buyer that go this jacket today doesn't want to return it. It's brand new with tags. The buyer that bought another jacket two days ago said she did not realize until today that the blazer that she bought from me would be too small. She asked if she can return it if it's too small. I know she will now be returning it and then it will ship back to Tradesy. This is a nightmare!!!!
I just looked under my earnings on Tradesy to see how come my funds have not transferred to my bank. It states:
Transfer Status: Compliance review. What is this???? This is my $$$$. My funds should have already been deposited a week ago. Has anyone else gone through this? I cannot wait until my last two sales are completed and I can withdraw my $$$$. I'm then taking all items off Tradesy!!!

Tradesy is not following their timeline and can hold funds for weeks when they are short on cash. I was also selling with them almost from the very beginning. Back then the commission was 14.5%, funds to be available for withdrawal in 4 days after delivery (could be earlier if buyer messaged you and said they are happy). then the next day after withdrawal money hits your bank account. 5 days tops. Any reasons they're giving to hold cash up to a month now is a BS.
You don't have to remove the items, put the shop on the long vacation mode. VC will absorb them eventually, they'll probably move the listings automatically there.
This is terrible and unacceptable. They treat the buyers like crap. Yes, I had the buyer message me that she loved the item. They are such liars. I did not realize they were holding funds, because they are short on cash!!! This is so wrong. Thank you for letting me know about putting my items on vacation mode. I will do that right now. I cannot wait until my last two items are paid out to me.
Yes, Tradesy's operations will change one way or another after integration with VC. Maybe it'll go other way around and VC sales in US will be transferred to Tradesy but for lower commission. No need to remove items or account. I have an excellent record of sales and will hang in there on vacation mode until things change.
