### 2/5 — Deleting my account!!!

*2022-09-22, version 4.4.0*

I’m a new seller on Tradesy and won’t be using this app again. I sold a luxury item on this app and have been having issues that I'm not satisfied with. First off, when the buyer purchased the item she also purchased a prepaid shipping label. I packaged the item very neatly and shipped it off the very next day with no delay. She received her item quick and was very satisfied and excited but the issue is the fact that I had to wait an entire 7 days to receive my funds AFTER the item was delivered to her house which frustrated me because why?!? Not only that, the fact that Tradesy takes 20% for the sale is a bit extreme. On top of that, after the 7 days I waited I have to pay another 2.9% to transfer the money to my bank unless I’m spending it on Tradesy and have to wait ANOTHER 5 days for it to go to my account. How is this okay??! What takes so long?!? It’s annoying and it frustrates me so I’d rather not sale anything on this app ever again!

### 1/5 — Thevies!!!

*2022-04-15, version 3.37*

Don’t sell on this platform. Sellers will buy your new item, and wear it and return it back to you. Tradesy will accept the item that was new, and now is used by the customer who purchased it, and allow the customer to return it back to you. When you open up a case against them they won’t take accountability for their negligence. It’s all about making the customer happy no matter what. I sold a new coach handbag on there, and it was returned back to me used with marks, wrinkles, and stains on it. The customer claimed that it didn’t fit their style after they used it for a couple of day’s, and Tradesy allow them to return it back to me. Tradesy is doing everything they can to not pay me for my Coach handbag. For example, we will give you $15 back, or you can relist it and we will bring down the sellers fee. Lawsuit is coming your way Tradesy!!!!

### 4/5 — Recent Change, 2 Stars to 4 Stars

*2022-04-11, version 3.36*

I gave this app a bad review a couple of years ago, because it used to take almost a month a times to get your money when the buyer only had 4 days to do a return. Never had a return, so that was crazy! Recently, they have changed to getting paid 7 days after the item is delivered which I think is reasonable, so I am upping my stars. The commission fee could be lower, but it isn’t that crazy from what other apps like Poshmark charge anyway. The PayPal transfer fee is a little annoying, but it’s all for “security” purposes and whatever. Pretty common these days. Easy to list. It doesn’t ask you to fill in a thousand things like eBay so overall it’s gotten better! I use it for my more luxury items and they sell better on here than anywhere else. It’s a keeper!

### 5/5 — Pretty impressive

*2022-02-09, version 3.34.1*

I’m new to this site. So I’m not sure how much my review means yet. But… so far I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the customer service. It’s been beyond what I’ve expected. These are relatively big purchases and my first purchase on here…. I made accidentally. Thinking I was buying one thing but I purchased the same exact thing from a different person. Anyway… I’m leaving on vacation and my original purchase wouldn’t have made it on time. This site allowed me to make adjustments to my purchase and re-issued my initial coupon! It really meant a lot to me. I can’t wait to get the two items that I purchased. It’s exciting because these are things I want it for a very long time… I just haven’t been able to afford brand new. Finding this website has been extremely exciting.

### 3/5 — Unacceptable return policy

*2021-12-26, version 3.33.3*

I can live with their high fees because I can adjust my selling price. The unacceptable part is their return policy. 
Selling on Tradesy used to be okay because Tradesy took care of all returns. But, they changed their policy now that allows buyers to return item for ANY reasons, back to the sellers. There are many non trusted buyers out there that will return after they used the items, they damage it on purpose so they get refund back to their credit cards instead of Tradesy credits, etc etc. And sellers ended up with items that are not in the original condition. So, Tradesy have no protection for the sellers whatsoever. No reviews available for sellers or buyers so we don’t know if the buyer is a good buyer or serial returner. In summary, it’s very uneasy experience selling on Tradesy.

### 1/5 — Bad business practices

*2021-05-18, version 3.25.1*

How does this business has almost a 5 star rating when almost all of the reviews are 1 star!! Something to ponder. First of all this company has no way of reaching a customer service rep via phone. The only way to contact them is via email. I purchased to expensive prices of jewelry on the same day the order was placed I messaged the sellers to ask them to cancel the ordered due to misreading the description of the pieces and discovering they were not the pieces that I wanted. I have messages the sellers at least 3 times and have never heard from either seller. Then after reading Tradesy policies further the seller have to respond whether the item is still available for sale. Tradesy doesn’t even have possession of the items they are selling and don’t know if they are still available yet they already charged my credit card the whole amount. Unlike The Real Real their competitors who have possession of the items and know they are in stock when you buy them and also allow you to return the merchandise for a full refund where as Tradesy will only give you store credit. After I spend my store crosier I will NEVER do business with them again!!! And I would strongly advise buyer beware. Check out The Real Real before you spend your hard earned money with a company that is working with an antiquated business model.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the honest feedback. We'll keep these points in mind as we continue to evolve. You can also find our phone contact in the help center 844.988.7233.

### 5/5 — The best place to find vintage handbags!

*2021-02-12, version 3.22*

I never write reviews. Like NEVER. But I love this app so much that I just had to I’ve bought everything from a gently used Channel bag to an extremely discounted Mark Jacobs. I’m a handbag fanatic so this is the perfect place for me! Also, they make sure to authenticate every purchase to make sure you don’t get a fake. Unlike some other sites, (cough EBay). I highly recommend this app!

I have sold bags on This app as well, and I agree with the other commenters saying the selling fees are too high. I once sold a purse for $1k and got a whopping $820. If you avoid selling on Tradesy, it’s a great app.

### 3/5 — Great for buyers, not so much for sellers

*2020-08-26, version 3.16.2*

It’s a bit of a love and hate relationship with Tradesy... as a buyer, I enjoy the sales and ease of use (as well as authenticity and returns guarantee) of the tradesy app.

But as a seller, the commission feels are much higher than other consignment apps (they had raised their fees twice since I first joined), and they also charge a transfer fee (regardless of transfer method, including those that should be free). It was also really difficult to get in touch with a customer representative. Maybe it was just that one time, but when I did get in touch with someone, the representative was extremely rude about a potential sale- the buyer and I had both agreed on a price, but I was unable to change the price on an item due to some technical difficulty on the app. After a full week of communication, the representative finally responded (very rudely) that she’s only helping me because the buyer had requested help, not because I had requested help. I had since removed all my listings on that platform.

### 2/5 — Sales have slowed to a crawl

*2020-07-26, version 3.16*

This is not the app it once was for me. In fact, there are some major programming issues that they’re unable to unwilling to address. I’m trying to sell my wardrobe basics that honestly are “high end” to a lot of American households—not everyone can afford J.Crew and Coach. All the marketing emails I get are irrelevant—I don’t buy Louis Vuitton purses at the frequency they are promoted. And the whole concept of “trading in” what I won’t wear to buy what I want is broken if my “under $100” items don’t sell. It wasn’t always like this, once upon a time I had decent sales on Tradesy. 
Commission increases may have killed them?
It just feels very scattered. Either be exclusively high end and split off the other “lower end” business (see Grailed for a men’s example), or recognize that people need low cost basics as well. FYI, as of 9/4/19, of the 551,984 active clothing listings, 48% are under $50, 75% are under $100. 
I’m also not thrilled with paying a “safe transfer fee” to receive my money to my bank or PayPal. If I’m paying that, I expect a faster transfer.
Finally, buyers can return for any reason. What is preventing them from “borrowing” something for 4 days?? I just had a dress returned with deodorant in the armpits...

### 4/5 — Love the app hate the selling fees and wait time.

*2020-02-26, version 3.11.1*

I gave this app a 4 out of 5 stars and I would have given them 5 stars if the wait time to receive your money after you have made a sale and it has been delivered to the buyer didn’t take 21 days to be available and also once you transfer is over it takes more than a week to get in my account. It also has crazy selling fees where you have to list your items higher than you want just to get the amount that you are looking for. I love this app and never have a hassle with my buyers and it’s truly fantastic but this is the only complaint I have and if it can be fixed would definitely rate this app 5 starts cause I do truly love it.
