I tried to search, but could not find the answer. If I order a bag on Tradesy and it ends up coming from overseas, who pays the duty and customs taxes or fees on the bag? Tradesy charged me sales tax on the item, so I assumed it was coming from somewhere within the US, but that turned out to be not the case.

Tradesy is a US platform as of now and you are not supposed to pay anything in top of what you see at checkout (price and your state sales tax). it means the seller pays duties (unlike eBay).

Just moved my closet to VC by invitation link. Now I have about 4 duplicate listings that I need to remove.

When it gets moved to VC are the listings gone from Tradesy? Keep us updated on how sales are on VC. I've had a surge of sales on Tradesy the last couple weeks so not sure I want to move over to VC yet if I can no longer sell on Tradesy. Wishing you sales on VC.

It appears so, I can't even access my closet on Tradesy anymore, it redirects me to VC. even shortcut in bookmarks is VC now. so listings are not double listed.
VC has broader audience, I hope I get sales there for brands that are more popular in Europe like Nina Ricci and Loewe.
What really sucks is my sale history from Tradesy is gone, like I'm a new seller with only 3 sales on VC vs 100+ on Tradesy.

Don't switch over until you have to - I just did and it's a mess. Didn't read far enough - its a flat $12 for any item under $100, so anything less than around $80 (15%) starts to get up there. Over $100 at 12% + $3 is fine however 3% over $100 can add up :sad: I guess that's the way to look good with the 12% but still collect.

Site is slow, not the most organized - a little all over the place. Lots of broken links, multiple pages and link that are unnecessary, and the view of your listings is weird. Very limited options - as someone mentioned can only lower price or add pics, and some things are broken (I removed my lower dollar items and they show both in the removed and active secitons still.)

I will probably just leave a few items up over $80 but really not into this site at all - T has it's issues, but had a lot more flexiblitiy and was easier to use than this. I guess we will see how it goes in January...

True, way less flexibility. But that's on buyers' side too - no returns and no any BS after the qualified items passed inspection in HQ. Payment is on 4th day, not like one month later "maybe" on Tradesy. For high-end items it has more pros than cons.

I don't think I'll switch over. The only listings I felt comfortable having on Tradesy were cheaper items. Many are under $50 so they couldn't be returned but the higher commission on those makes it even less profitable. I wonder if I should just shut down my Tradesy shop now. I haven't made a sale since May.

Thanks for this. Just got the email inviting me to switch over but I think I'm going to hold off as long as I can -- Tradesy has all it's issues (the worst one being the returns for no reason). I'd appreciate anyone letting me know how their sales are compared to when they were on Tradesy. Thanks all.

I'm confused. i just registered with Vestiaire to become a professional seller and they sent me their commission rates. It says that they offer lower commission rates for prof sellers. however, the doc they sent me states that the fee is 15%. And it seems like it's the same fee as for regular sellers. Is this false advertising?
