“My first time using Tradesy's”

Valera s.
5/2/24

This was my first time using Tradesy's services and Ican say that they exceeded my expectations. Buying and selling clothes has become more convenient thanks to this platform. Not only did I find quality items at affordable prices here, but I also received excellent service. The site is easy to use, the buying and selling process is smooth, and he support team is always ready to help with any questions.

“Chic Finds is a bait and switch vendor”

Lisa H.
5/6/20

I purchased a $720 item from Chic Finds and they cancelled the order, raised the price by $100 and refused to honor original featured price. Tradesy let them get away with "correcting their listing" and has done nothing - including dropping the vendor - despite many emails requesting that they do so.

This is the most anti-seller site out there. They encourage returns and although they claim they handle returns they force all returns on to their sellers even past their 4 day return policy. Items come back damaged, with heavy leather scratches on high end items, with missing accessories, original boxes, etc. They know nothing about authenticating luxury items. They have sent 2 items now back saying they could not confirm authenticity, when both items were purchased by me at the store. They hold your money for 21 days and when the money become available to withdraw it takes another 7 days to see your money in your checking account. And they dare to charge 23% now commissions and withdrawal fee. When they reply to your inquiries it's all generic messages without even looking into the issue. Just TERRIBLE!

Buyers can use and abuse a product and Tradesy will refund them. (Sounds like ebay a few years back). High selling fees. Watch the mark down/sales program. The will want you to sell an item for less and then you realize that Tradesy makes money & not the seller. Customer Service- all lies. Sellers have no protection. I've had Christian Louboutin shoes returned- showing extra wear. Plus, they will accept a return from a seller 3 weeks after the sell, even though they have a 4 day return policy. Tradesy seems like a scam.

Once upon a time Tradesy was a wonderful place to sell, best of the bunch. Now with their new return policy which places the burden of original shipping on the seller no matter what the reason for return I'd say it's fallen to the bottom. I just received notice of another return, no problem with item but unlike the old days where Tradesy would keep it and resell it themselves it's being sent back to me and all the money from the sale (including shipping) was pulled from my account. Why are they charging such a high commission rate when they offer such crappy service?

Tradesy does not protect the seller AT ALL. I could maybe tolerate the fact that it takes 21 long days to get your funds, or the outrageous fees (20%)... but the last two incidents have made me delete my account. Twice now I have sent 2 items that were in perfect, new with tags condition. Both sellers returned my items (probably just because they didn't like it). Tradesy never notified me of the return, and never responded to me when I sent them several photos of the item. It's bull$#*!. NEVER AGAIN.

Item was exactly what I wanted, exactly as described and at a price that fit my budget. Shipping was normal speed, except shipper (Fed Ex) took longer than normal to deliver. This is not the fault of Tradesy or the Seller.

Reason I chose this business:

Tradesy had the bag I wanted at a good price. Also seems to be a trustworthy business.

Reason I chose this product:

I've wanted this item for 3 years. The bag is in mint condition and offered at a good price.

Three weeks since purchase and still haven't received my item. Finally my item got shipped today. I went in to track it only to realize it's been shipped to a different state.
Tried contacting the seller, but the seller has been completely unresponsive. Would never use tradesy again. Horrible site. Their customer service is not much better either.

After about 30 purchases to date, the products and Sellers have been great. Of course nothing is perfect, however I can say that the one or times there has been an issue it's been resolved expeditiously. I'm very pleased and will continue to use Tradesy often.

Not only do they take over 23% commission, I had one package returned with nothing inside and they gave the money back to the buyer and I lost over $1500. I t just happen again where someone returned a Tiffany necklace of $1000 and arrived broken and I got screwed from that too. There is no seller protection and buyers can return for any reason. You been warned!

I have already bought a few items on Tradsey and I am hoping to buy more soon!
All of my items were authentic, brand new with original tags - exactly as described by the sellers. Quick and nice communication with the sellers! Shipping was super Speedy too!
Great job! Five stars!

The other reviews with 1 or 2 stars are either fake (competing sites) or part of the 33 percent of Americans that don't know any better. So far so good. Much easier and better than Ebay. I have over 1,600 listings that they have imported from ebay for me. We have had only 1 pair of jeans returned because they did not fit the buyer. Tradesy handled the return very well. Ebay needs more competitors. They have made the selling so complicated and in favor of the buyer, that it is tough to do business. Give this site a break! They are new and I'm sure it will get better with time.

They have lied to me and told me that my funds will expedited. I'm still waiting. Done girl is out prancing around in my Christian Louboutin boots and I haven't been paid a dime. I've deleted all my listings and will never do business with this site. Seems like they will filing BK soon. You've been warned. Class action lawsuit anyone?

I had been given a pair of these shoes but they were too small, I absolutely loved them so I began my search and found the exact pair in better shape and packed to perfection with cute Halloween string tied around the tissue paper. These pythons were shipped in style. Love the way this seller does business. Hand-written note along with a cute thank you card on the inside. Keep it up Sitejabber you are winning!

Reason I chose this business:

I can trust Tradesy sellers to be upfront and honest.

Reason I chose this product:

Because I love it!

OK, so Tradesy is eBay of the clothing world. Everything and anything can be sold on here, from designer clothing to some lip balm. Shipping is usually between $10 and $20, depending on how large of a bag needed to fit in the garment. I am from a seller's perspective- I've been on the site for about 3 months and have only sold one item. I received the bag to put my item in and shipped it out quickly, within a month I got my payment after the 2% fee or whatever tradesy will take, and the other 2% (I think) safe transfer fee. The thing about this site is that you need to ask questions. The sellers are mostly experienced and will answer any question you have. If not, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Most sellers want their items gone. It's a good discount site once in a while. Some sellers can be haggled.

*If you want to look up my closet, feel free to message me. I sell plus sized shorts, size 8 women's shoes, and medium sized tops and dresses.

Online purchase was easy. Product received looks like it is an knock off that does not include
Jawbone feature which allows for easy replacement of lens. It says JAWBONE on the frame and
U.S.A. design.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought I was buying the right design for my prescription lens.

Reason I chose this product:

Had a pair of Oakley Jawbone Sunglasses that had broken frames.

I purchased a pair of Sam Edelman sandals. My credit card was charged immediately yet several hours later I received a notice from the Seller that they "were not for sale". No apology, no, sorry for false advertising. Tradesy says it will take 5 days to see my refund. If you could pull my money immediately, you should immediately issue a refund. I didn't cancel. YOUR Seller failed to remove the item. No recourse on their website. Will never use their site again and telling everyone I know.

Tradesy use to be a great company to sell on about 2-3 years ago. When I would sell something their commission was way lower and the day I shipped I got paid that day. Now there commission is 14%!!! I believe it use to be 7-9% also it takes almost 3 weeks before they release your money even after the customer has received your item 2 weeks earlier. Then another 4-5 days to show up in your account. And if you ever email then it usually takes 3 business days for them to get back to you. Your better off selling on a different site don't waste your time.

Only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because the listing was "like new" and the pockets were listed as clean but there's definitely crumbs and debris from use. There are also come markings from use where the strap buckle is. This was not in the pictures or noted. Pockets can be vacuumed but as someone who sells on other sites, always call out any marking - especially at this price point

Excellent site! Super easy to navigate the site and search for specific items. Had a question for buyer, responded in less than 10 minutes. Friendly, professional and exceptional range of unique items at relatively reasonable prices.

Purchased an item from La Dolce Vitae, excellent service, arrived in 2 days, exactly as pictured in very good condition. Also, very quick response from this seller to a question I posted - great seller and will purchase again - thank you.

Reason I chose this business:

Came upon the site by accident - searching for a gift no longer available for purchase in the store. While I did not locate the exact item, I was fortunate to locate a similar item at reasonable cost

The customer service for this site is non existent. I recently purchased a bracelet on there that does not match the description or the picture listed whatsoever. It was supposed to be yellow gold with opal crystals. I received a rose gold with regular crystal bracelet. I tried to return the day I received, then tried to file a misrepresentation claim the following day. I've been passed around from representative to representative with no resolution in sight. They sent me to different departments with no update on any of the misrepresentation claims I've filed. Don't waste your time here, you're better off just going to ebay or joining a resale group on facebook.

Bought a bag, thought I was getting a Chloe Faye Backpack in medium! Great price! Should have known, it was shipped from China, folded in a tiny little box! Destroyed the integrity of the leather. The serial number was in a totally odd place which raised red flag.
Returned immediately to Tradesy, they waved their magic wand said it was real and even though it was folded like an accordion, I had to take it back or accept site credit! So I was stuck and had to add money to purchase another bag that I could have bought elsewhere for much less. And they ended up with an additional percentage off which I wasn't allowed to use. Waiting for the overpriced bag to arrive, fingers crossed. I will never do business with this company ever again and would not recommend it to anyone! I don't want to buy a designer bag and have it ship from China! Terrible customer service!

I have purchased a handful of items on tradesy previously over the last 3 years and I've had a great experience each time. I love purchasing from seller's who advertise they will ship next business day because I want my items as soon as possible!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Tradesy to purchase pre-owned items that are more affordable than going to the original luxury store or luxury website.

Reason I chose this product:

I love affordable luxury purses/bags! Tradesy is a site that offers luxury items with various signs of use for an affordable price! Some of the items are actually new as well.

The entire process was smooth from start to finish, I was initially hesitant to purchase from this site, but I've only had positive encounters; all of the products are described well and come as pictured. No surprises with Tradsey, only a satisfied, happy returning customer.

I have never publically complained about a website but I want to warn you to do your research before considering purchasing from Tradesy. Even Christmas gifts had a four day return policy so be careful with timing your purchases with recipients' inspection.

The handbag my daughter bought for me through Tradesy was filthy and not accurately pictured nor described. When I complained to Tradesy on Day Four, I was given a generic response--so much for customer support! I wish my daughter had spent more time researching the numerous Tradesy complaints instead of trusting them. I found much better selection and better pricing of same handbag model on EBay.
