Hi, yes I used the Tradesy Fedex label. I also take pictures of everything. I had to drop off another Tradesy package yesterday at Fedex and I told a picture of the package with the Fedex manager. She gave weighed it and gave me the receipt. She also took a picture of her taking the package with the receipt. I'm so glad you got your money back. Yes, I cannot believe how many unethical people are out there. It's so sad and upsetting!!!
Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

That is such a smart idea!!! I had never thought of using bulletproof packaging. I also use a duster, bubble wrap, air pillows for my handbags, designer shoes.... I had also sold a brand new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes that were $850 and that buyer got them last Thursday. She messaged me that same day and says they are gorgeous and she loves them. I had also packaged those in a brown box, inside the Christian Louboutin box, with bubble wrap and air pillows. She is a wonderful buyer and is not a liar and scammer!!!
Roommate took it, just like that? At least she found out and let you know.
yeah, weird right? She was accusing me of things before she realized.
I my experience, if a third party is involved (neighbor, roommate, concierge) any investigation with USPS is closed right away because they waive any responsibility and go like it's unknown who took it.
I think the roommate taped the box back up so it wasn't clear at first it had been tampered with. The sale was on ebay so I had bought a shipping label that showed the weight of the package. The weight proved there had been 4 pairs of jeans in there originally.
If the buyer uses a forwarding service, they won't win a not as described case since they weren't the first recipient of the item. There was a thread on here several years ago where someone had bought some linens and had them shipped directly to her cleaners. The cleaners found some damage but ebay closed the case in the seller's favor because she had had them shipped to a third party.
If the item goes missing it can be due to the delivery service too, especially USPS. But here's a fresh story about UPS

I have an update on my Tradesy issue. I called Tradesy CS yesterday to see if there was any update from Fedex. They said it could be another 5 days to get a response. I cannot believe what the Tradesy CS rep told me yesterday. He said that they have had 5 to 6 cases with customers saying either the item they bought was not in the box or packages have been lost. This is through Fedex and I guess USPS. He said this is happening for Tradesy orders. I cannot believe he said this. In my 15 plus years selling I have never once had an item missing in a package that I have sold or any package that I have received. I have purchased items on ebay and PM before and this has never happened. This CS rep says that people see that it says Tradesy on the box, so they open it up and steal what's in there. He also said this is happening with the Real Real. I still don't trust my buyer. Why would someone open a brown box and steal a jacket. I told the CS rep that I better get my jacket back or my $$$$. I have the printed receipt that shows the weight when I dropped off the package at Fedex. He said the investigation will be able to see the weight of the package when it left the last Fedex hub. Has anyone else heard this? Now I really don't feel safe selling on Tradesy if they have had 5 to 6 issues of items not being in packages or packages missing in the past week.
I'm so happy. I just heard from Tradesy CS and the buyer had lied!!! Fedex investigation looked at the weight when I had dropped off the package to Fedex. I had waited in line, they weighed the package when I gave it to them. Fedex then looked at the weight of the package when it was delivered and it was the same weight as when I dropped it off at Fedex. They just released my funds too!!! I knew I did not trust this buyer.
That's great news! I didn't realize they could or would weigh the package when it was delivered.
Yes, I'm so happy!!! I didn't realize they could do that either.
Congrats, it was worth all the efforts! I guess so, the buyer's behavior showed red flags, was out of town knowing the order is coming, neighbor picked up, "the box is empty" etc. I hope Tradesy bans her from the site. Did you ask them if they take care of such buyers-claimers?
