“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.

I liked a luxury bag as my birthday present and purchased it right away. As a first time buyer from Tradesy I expected an excellent fast shipping but no! The seller, who is a first time seller here waited forever like 9 days for the Tradesy kit to arrive! It was the day before my birthday when I finally asked her to ship it over night! She did but it arrived 2 days later. The item is fine. But the seller did not send the authentication cards! I am disappointed. This site has limited communications and low transparency. I had no idea from where this item is going to be shipped.

Nothing just sent a regular shipping label did not even had an express option.

Reason I chose this product:

Googled it as it was what I wanted.

Their fees are outrageous - 22% selling fees and not only that you have to wait up to 30 days to have the money released so you can withdraw it into your checking (so you think) but then once you withdraw it, it takes another 10 days for it to get posted into your checking account - that is absolutely ridiculous and a terrible way to run a business - I will never do business on this horrible site ever again and you all should stay away as well - can't understand how they are still in business!

I was very excited about my purchase. However it would've been nice to know it was coming from Belgium and would take a month to receive.if I had known, it would've been a factor in me purchasing. I give it 4 stars because that's important information to know beforehand. Otherwise item is PERFECT.

Easy to use the website. Price is good for the product. Received prompt order confirmation and several shipping updates. It was shipped and received very quickly. The product I received was exactly as shown and in perfect condition. Thankfully, I'm pleased with the product and fit, so I can't verify their return/exchange policy. Be aware that there are no refunds, only credit for other items on their website. Other than that, I'm happy with this website and my purchase.

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking for a certain item and was directed to this company through my Google search.

Reason I chose this product:

I saw the product on another companies website, but they didn't have my size, so I Googled it to see where else I might find the item in my size.

This is my second order, when my first didn't fit, they gave me credit even though they said it was not returnable but it was a one time thing. So I ordered a completely different item in a larger size and it was even smaller than first item. Your used item sizes are WAY OFF! I'm done ordering items from this company!

Do not buy or sell from Tradesy. I sell in a couple of app and tradesy is robbing sellers and buyers. How can they charge 10.50 for shipping. I sell a pair of pants where they actually made more money than me on the sale. They take the commission, whole your money 21 days and in top of that if you don't want store credit you have to pay them a fee to withdraw your money. I sell in other apps and my money is available right away and buyers don't pay that much for shipping. Thieves.

I sold many items on Tradesy FR years and everything was smooth. The past 3 sales I had were returned to me because they claim they were above fair market value. When I ask them what the fair market value for the item is they reply they are unable to determine because it's a combination of factors. If they are not able to determine the value of the item they return it too. However, the item I sold is still for sale so how can't they determine the value. Really? Their guidelines are so broad- it is just a trap so they can keep returning items to Sellers and not get stuck with inventory- YET force buyer to now spend the credit they issued on Tradesy. So what they are really doing is:

1. You list the item within the price range they recommend
2. Item sells
3. Buyer doesn't like the item so they return it for a credit on Tradesy
4. Tradesy returns the item to you and takes the earnings back
5. Buyer is stuck with a credit they must spend on Tradesy

SCAM.

The jacket is in fine condition but is not a size small or size 4 as stated but instead a size medium. It's not acceptable to mistake information especially sizing and then have a non returnable policy too. This is the first time I've ever had this happen on any site.
I needed it for a trip so I shrunk it myself.

Reason I chose this business:

I buy and sell on Tradesy

Reason I chose this product:

I was looking for this specific jacket

I was looking forward to receiving my purchase because it was advertised as "New with Tags"; however, there were no tags, no original packaging... not even inside my item, and a label was tapped to the inner packaging box... as if contents shipped were also not in original box/packaging. As a result, I'm unsure whether this item is new or used— dissatisfied!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Tradesy because of their high-quality products, supposed guaranteed authentication, and overall excellent customer service.

Reason I chose this product:

Promotion of high-quality products at reasonable prices

This is the second time I've purchased a brand name bag from this site and I was not disappointed. I love my new bag and it came tagged. For new users, I suggest buying from a seller who has a lot of sales and followers. That way you know there's some kind of credibility prior to purchase.

I was looking for a certain bag & had not been on Tradesy for awhile. I went there & found that bag, at a price I never dreamed of. The greatest part? I had a site credit that I completely forgot about & was so thrilled to find this at a time when I truly needed a break! Tradesy really does give many wonderful opportunities to get authentic pieces as well as smashing offers & giveaways! Highly recommend this site as a trustworthy place to shop and one that is very accountable where they follow through to make sure "all is well"!

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking for a specific bag in a specific color & had looked at all the other sites but kept "missing the boat" on the bag and/or finding it at astronomical prices. My past experiences with Tradesy were always excellent, including customer service on the telephone!

Reason I chose this product:

I am currently obsessed with Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turn Lock bags, & more specifically the Violet Purple leather with the golden hardware. The piece I got has signs of wear but as an artist, I have to say in the case of this bag... it actually adds to the vibe & flavor of the piece & the way it was designed. Someday, maybe I will get a newer one but I kind of love that it has a rawness to it as it feels painterly and elegant all at the same time! I am not a perfect person with a perfect life, so my copy of this bag is very appropriate for my life, the times, & the look I like!

This site is allowing sales of products altered, and in very poor condition and the damage is not shown in all pictures or even mentioned under product detail information. As a matter of fact ALL of their items state the same verbiage ( gently-used). In addition Tradesy itself or Tradesy allows it's sellers to markup items listed than tell customers "WELL" the item is on sale at 67% off retail. Than once you purchase an item even under false advertising conditions Tradesy does not refund your money they only offer credit so you can purchase something else falsely represented.

I have used Tradesy to sell gently used items for the past few years. The items that I sold tended to be typical mall brands. They implemented new policies no longer allowing you to sell items under $10 and upping their commision on any item under $50 to be $7.50. Allowing you to keep your previously listed items under $10 posted without the $7.50. They raised their commision again, and at that time made it to were if you viewed or edited your $10 and under postings the $7.50 would be taken out. On some items this would end up, if the item sold, you would essentially owe Tradesy money. They have tried to push out good sellers, but ones that did not exclusively sell super pricey items. It is unfortunate as it is one of the easiest selling platforms to navigate. I guess the good platforms are reserved for the lucky ones that can afford the high end items.

What I've found out about Tradesy is not only do they hold your money for 21 days to protect the buyer... not the seller, but then it's another 7 days to get the money they're holding transferred to your bank account! What the hell is that! You get all of these notices to ship within 10 days of the sale but I have to wait 30 days for my money for my item? This is bull$#*!! I'm sorry there isn't a better word. I'll never sell or buy through Tradesy again!

The seller adequately fulfilled my order. However, the delivery experience was very poor. The order was placed mid June and did not arrive until yesterday, July 6. It is reasonable to have received an accurate update from the delivery service provider. Unfortunately, the tracking notes stated a delivery date of June 18. While this is not the direct fault on anyone other than the delivery service, it does not represent the full brand experience of a luxury brand such as Tradesy.

Where we have seen these tracking delays become more common, it is still not the experience we want our buyers to have. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I am happy to see you were able to connect with our Member Care specialists and we were able to file a missing package claim with the delivery service provider and they were able to locate the package.

Again, we are so sorry you had this experience. We hope we were able to address your concerns, but if there's anything else you need please let us know. We want to do anything we can to make each experience worthy of your best possible rating!

Purchased what I thought was a used pair of sunglasses, I was AMAZED when I opened the box and found everything was brand new from the glasses case to the cleaning cloth. The sunglasses were out of this world beautiful! I am so very happy with my purchase and I will be doing way more business with them in the future. Thank you Tradsey for showing me that not all websites are fakes. You amazed me and I will now be using you to get all of my brand name authentic items from you in the future. Shipping was super fast as well and the item was very well protected. Tradsey is also a small business so I am happy to support them!

Ebay is ok but using it gives me a headache, it's so ugly and full of scams and people writing IN ALL CAPS. I like how streamlined Tradesy has made uploading images and filling out a listing. I like how you don't have to "interact" to make a sale. I also don't mind the wait time to get money, which has been an issue for many; however, I'm just trying to clean my closets and make some money, not make a living from this! I suspect it is not the cheapest option out there, but in terms of ease of use -- I'm sold.

It relies on seller to be honest about their product and if that is the case then they should allow you to return and get your money back. It's a win win for Tradesy because they return the item back to the seller who could relist it and the buyer gets store credit so they never lose. I don't think that is fair to the buyer who may not want anything else and is stuck with a credit.

As a seller the fees went up but it still is less than most consignment shops. They hold on to your money for 4 days which protects the buyer if you register with them if not they will keep your money much longer. I've sold over $12,000. In items and purchased $5000. In items with 1 issue that I returned.

Im a little hesitant on ordering from the seller compared to getting an item from the tradesy warehouse. I feel that sellers may switch out the authentic item with a replica. Im unsure how items are authenticated before they are posted for sell. Also the items are pricey, sometimes even more pricey if i were to purchase in store. This pushes me to do further research to see if i am actually getting a deal. The sellers also lag updating the shipment information. Ive had to contact them for the status.
