“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.

My MK purse was packed neatly in a protective box from Tradesy. I could hear the mail carrier scanning the package at drop off, so i was excited to be home when it arrived and opened it immediately. Thank you!

Pretty easy so far. I didn't do any research about this website. I Googled something and this site came up, add to cart boom done. Now let's hope for the best. UPDATE: received the ugg slippers, exactly what I wanted and hoped for. My first time experience was flawless.

Reason I chose this business:

It came up when I googled something and it had what I was looking for. And the price was good.

Tradesy charges 23.99% and their service is the worst for being this much! They are returning an item that I sold even though they agreed that it was accurate. They're saying that they can't obtain the fair market value. Ridiculous! Total waste of time and full of BS! This site also takes almost a month before they release your hard earned earnings! Soo crazy! Beware of this site! Hope it gets shut down! They are like thieves, so ridiculous l!

I found a Gucci Pelham tote rated AA. I received it and it looked brand new (too new). However, inside the pocket of the purse was a black tag with a letter and numbers but no QR code like the Gucci bags I bought at Saks. Company that sent "authenticity card" with bag states that no "brand owner endorses this document." Waiting to hear back from Tradesy vendor. There is a 4 day return policy.

Just reached out yesterday so waiting to hear.

Reason I chose this business:

Read positive online reviews. Have never purchased a vintage bag and wanted to see if ur would be a good experience.

Reason I chose this product:

I already own some Gucci bags so am familiar with their products.

This is like Vaunte, Shop-Hers, and Ebay and it just doesn't work, for me at least. Buying recycled stuff online is just so risky. I bought a few things on the site and nothing was ever as good as the seller described it; there is almost always some smell, some stain or some abuse. And, two fakes. Tradesy takes returns but they really prefer to give credit and not a refund, so it takes forever to get out because you have to use the credit. Their customer service which used to be pretty good has gone downhill.

To me, signing on to this site means a whole lot more emails on stuff that either isn't what it is supposed to be or isn't even on the site.

Tip for consumers:
Buyer beware!

I have sold 10 items in the past 3 weeks right out of my closet and I have purchased 1 awesome pocketbook. This company is an awesome concept! They are organized, professional, available for any questions and concerns.The exposure to designer items at great discounts is like no other company. They protect both buyer and seller... I just can't say enough... Tradesy ROCKs!

I had been so disappointed in the past year trying to find a replacement for my beloved and trusty Coach "Candace" handbag(that is 9 yrs old!). I looked on Tradesy last week and found one... it arrived looking glorious and almost brand-new. It was less than half the original price. I have a; ready showed it off to two of my friends :)

I recently bought a Cartier watch that was labeled "Good As New". When the item arrived to their Sure Shop inspection team, I got notified that there were actually very noticeable scratches on the face of the watch. I received additional photos and ultimately decided to cancel. I get that they can't catch everything, but at least on this particular incident I was relieved to have been saved the hassle of dealing with it afterwards. Thumbs up!

I thought that I bought two pairs of shoes only to find out that the seller has to respond to my purchase within 3 days or the transaction is cancelled. This seller told me she had no idea! When I contacted Tradesy, their attitude was basically tough luck and didn't care a bit. Why they don't take better care of their customers, I cannot understand. Their attitude is terrible and when you go through a lot of work to find something you're looking for, pay for it and have the transaction dropped, I think that's terrible. I think they need to re-think their business model. I'll buy from another site.

Ordered a Louis Vuitton for my wife that was listed in good condition. The pictures actually made the very minor imperfections look worse than they were. Once the purse arrived I was able to look around and the purse still looks great overall and those imperfections are hardly noticeable. Will definitely be doing business here again!

Reason I chose this business:

Tradesy and the real real both seem to have a great selection but overall tradesy has a larger selection with less imperfections!

I requested a return and emailed all required photos within the 4-day window as specified by the website a week ago, but still have not received a return shipping label or heard back from tradesy. I even called customer service to follow up 5 days ago and was told I would hear back from them on that day, which still didn't happen. The return process is made really hard from my experience so far.

I followed up with emails and calls about getting a return shipping label, and one week passed I still have not heard any response.

Reason I chose this business:

Because it "states" it offers free return.

I purchased Tory Burch flats on their website and they came to me broken. The seller had glued on the logo and it fell off within 10 minutes of me opening the box. The returns department would not refund me for the shoes and suggested I resell them on the site to recoup my investment--- so someone else can get screwed over! These people are scam artists and do not care about the service level you receive. Buyer beware!

I am completely in agreement with other sellers about the amount of time it takes for a seller to get our money! They state 21 days while the buyer is walking around with your designer item and possibly damaging it! They can then return with just about no questions or guarantee that it came that way!
I have called to ask why they won't transfer my money that is just sitting in their account and no one gives me the time of day, they could care less how many sales and money I have given them over the years. It's really sad because I will continue to purchase but I am pulling my merchandise and sticking with a Poshmark and have my funds in a few days not month!

I have been a seller for a few years and up until recently had no major complaints. Well, this drastic change has made me consider closing my account! Today I sold an item for $17.00 and after Tradesy took their cut, I was left with only $9.50, and I paid $3.46 for shipping! So I actually ended up with $6.04! And when you factor in shipping materials and time, even less! What a rip-off! Sellers STAY AWAY FROM TRADESY!

Bag is nice but it's definitely been cleaned and has stains that were not mentioned in caption. I paid more then it's worth. This website doesn't give you enough info about the bags. Shop elsewhere. There are plenty of sites that give more info.

I was really surprised to find such nice designer pieces on the resale market. This gives you a chance when you can't buy at all when it's first released to put your collections together when you can afford them; they're not necessarily forever gone.!

Shopping experience with Tradesy was easy with an abundance of inventory. Shipping, did not go as well. The product arrived two days after the original arrival date, however the tracking information kept me informed!

Reason I chose this business:

I felt the site was trustworthy and would stand behind the sale after researching about the site.

Reason I chose this product:

After seeing a picture of my Mom with a LV purse in the 80s, I wanted one.

I've been a seller on Tradesy for many years now and their policies continue to get worse. They cater strictly to buyers and not to their sellers. Basically a buyer can buy anything and return it for any reason causing an item to be out of the marketplace for 3 to 4 weeks due to their time frames.
And don't even get me started about their payout schedule which is ridiculous. A buyer has four days to issue a return request, so why isn't the seller getting paid on the fifth day? Nope, they hold your funds and then take 23% of your earnings!

I stumbled across Tradesy and bought two YSL bags. I had subterranean expectations, but I took the chance since Tradesy gives a site credit. Both looked better than their photos. Then, I purchased a Gucci Britt, which is the type of bag that I always take with me when I travel, so I love it. There was a hundred dollar coupon, and the bag was described as gently used. I have yet to find any evidence of wear on the bag-it is impeccable.

It feels so good to purchase gently used clothing in excellent condition!. Buying clothing this way supports a circular economy. Good for me and my tired closet. Good for the planet! The dress is beautiful, unique and has no signs of wear, exactly as described. Shipped quickly too.

Navigating the site was simple and easy. The filter feature is helpful to edit searches and look forward more specific details/items.
It would be good if some products had more details even though one can reach out to sellers.
