### 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!

### 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.

### 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...

### 2/5 — Takes forever to get paid

*2019-10-14, version 3.9*

This is a decent platform to sell your product on, but don’t use this app as a means of income. It takes sometimes almost 2 months to get paid because you have to wait 21 days after the sale for them to “release” your funds. After you select to have them direct deposited, not only do they take a small percentage of your sale as a “safe transfer fee” but then it takes another few weeks for those funds to be deposited. It seems like all of this is designed to make you not want to withdraw your funds and instead spend it back on Tradesy. 

Also, don’t fall for the “free shipping kit” scam. They take forever to mail it out and send you continuous emails to remind you to ship your item, when In fact you haven’t shipped it because they haven’t mailed you the free shipping kit.

Again, decent platform but it seems like there are still a large amount of kinks to work out.

### 2/5 — Shopper

*2019-09-15, version 3.8*

I have been happy overall with Tradesy but am becoming leery about prices.  Specifically,   I have concern that quality control over selling prices is lacking and that there is no adequate follow up when flags are reported. There is a gold 4mm David Yurman emerald bracelet that purports to be on sale and, even at the sale price, is $800 over the regular price for the exact bracelet at high-end department stores or David Yurman on line.  I have reported the unjustifiable sales price three times and also emailed the seller, named Na, to no avail.  Additionally, Na claims to respond in 24 hours to emails yet it has been over a week with no response.  When this type of dishonest selling is permitted on your website it results in shoppers questioning the integrity of your business.

Thank you for the opportunity to review my experience.

### 3/5 — Purchasing vs Selling

*2019-08-12, version 3.8*

It’s not that I don’t like this app, but selling on this app is very frustrating. I sold something back in July (July 8th to be exact), and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY FUNDS for having sold that item. It has been over a month. I understand that there needs to be a timeline in which the buyer can authentic the item and decide if he or she wants to keep it or not, but this is ridiculous. This is not the way this should work. The seller has to wait 21 days to receive funds, BUT it takes another 7 days to transfer funds to your bank, PayPal, etc. They do it this way I guess to promote more sales on the app, but I disagree with this workflow. This is not how a business should run. The buyer has had the item for over a month now and I still have not been paid. Buying on Tradesy I highly recommend! However, I will not be selling anymore on this app.

### 2/5 — Easy to sale hard to get your money

*2019-07-15, version 3.8*

So they helped me get the item to a seller. I will not get started on the % taken. 19% for tradesy the. 2.9% to transfer funds to PayPal. It’s the time frame. The item made it to the buyer and over 3 weeks later money on the tradesy account. Then another week to transfer to PayPal. Then PayPal will need some time to transfer to the bank. In my case tradesy made $900 off the sale of 1 item. It’s been 30 days and I have not had $1 to spend yet. Still pending, pending, pending. I feel if you are getting your cut then the process needs to be faster. I get that is the buyer doesn’t like the item then you have to allow time. But the buyer should be able to check off that they like it to get it going faster. The time with the % taken is a bit too disappointing together.

### 3/5 — Lots to love, lots to not

*2019-03-12, version 3.5*

First the good: for creating listings it’s my favorite app.  Love the number of pictures, the space allowed for descriptions, super easy and user-friendly process.  The bad is bad enough that I don’t list or open the app as often as I could.  First: there is an issue/bug with their pricing assessment (“sell faster, sell slower scale).  New with box/tags designer items that retail for over $2000 that get a $1-$2 low, high range. Yes, that means Tradesy assesses top “value” as $2.  This has happened many times.  What’s up with that? You can still list at your own price, but I have a hard time believing this does not effect the algorithm for visibility/staff pics/featured items, etc. It likely is interpreted as price gouging. Next: no feedback for sellers.  How can buyers put their trust in me?  Third: the interface for seeing your earnings after a sale is terrible.  Lastly, this BIG and not necessarily related to the app, but it takes forever to get paid.  A month or more.  Even when buyers contact me about being in love with their purchase.  This is the main reason I don’t list on the site as much as I could.  It’s even slower than it was prior to their commission hike that promised to improve seller’s experience.  The “transfer fee” adds insult to injury given how long the payments take.  I know others have voiced all the same issues, I guess Tradesy doesn’t care  enough about their sellers to make some very necessary changes.

### 2/5 — Great app, but is it worth the wait?

*2019-03-01, version 3.5*

I just started using Tradesy and it was quick and easy to use. I sold my item in no time. However, I didn’t realize how long the wait is for the seller to receive their money. I thought you paid a transfer fee, 2.9% to be exact, for the money to be in the account same or next day. PayPal doesn’t even have a fee unless you needed it ASAP. I guess my fear about this stems from other negative reviews about how long it takes to receive the money on tradesy, up to 21 days, and then to transfer the money to your actual account can take up to 7 or more, depending on what method you picked, days. So basically about a month. Which is a little odd, to wait so long to be paid when the buyer gets to have the actual item in no time. This is perfect if you don’t need the money now and are willing to wait.

### 3/5 — Fees/App on IPad/Payout Time

*2019-01-28, version 3.3*

First off: I love selling on Tradesy. I’ve been selling a few years on the app. The customers are great and the customer service is superior to all other platforms! However, the fee of a bank transfer (2.9%) on top of the commission fee (19.8%) is excessive and more than most platforms. 

Printing/IPad issues: I would love the option of being able to print from my phone or iPad app without having to login into my laptop/PC. I’ve tried several times to make it work - it doesn’t. Printing from browser on IPad - the label is not centered (upper left corner and smaller than the normal size. Further, the only way to withdraw a payout is via laptop/android phone via the app or having to login via browser. You cannot click the down arrow on your sales to show when to expect payout on your iPad. 

Payout: waiting 21 days for your payout is just ridiculous! There is absolutely no reason for it. If it is for luxury items, they should offer an authentication concierge for these sellers/buyers. Otherwise, for all other items, the 21 days should not apply. It’s absurd.

### 3/5 — Cropped pics on the app/bad seller protection

*2018-11-30, version 3.0*

Besides a hefty fees they charge for selling items they also developed an app that has a built in God complex- it automatically crops out pictures of items I list when there’s no need (pics are standard size). There’s no such issue when I manually upload listings through their website. 
PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Also- when you sell an item you have to wait up to 21 days for them to release your funds. It took over 2 weeks with the first sale I made (from the delivery date) for the funds to be available, and with my second sale it’s been over a week since the item was delivered to a buyer and still no funds are released. In these 21 days of buyer having my item in their possession I have no idea of what they are doing with it (wear it out for an event, do photo shoots with it). 
Btw- Poshmark gives a buyer 2 days (from the delivery date) to accept the item and after 2 days automatically releases the funds to the seller- which is a reasonable policy to both the buyer and a seller.

**Developer response:** Hi @FataMorganNY2017 - indeed we have a square photo format, so sorry for any inconvenience with cropping on pics you pull from your photo library! You can avoid this by taking photos right from within the Tradesy app. Plus - we appreciate you taking the time to update this with the feedback about your earnings. You're absolutely correct that the app explains that earnings are available within 21 days of delivery: the faster you ship, the faster you're paid! The maximum wait time isn't too common, so as long as you shipped within a week as our experts suggest - you'll usually see your deposit before a month is over. And while we handle your buyers' returns, we're always working to make the selling and payment experience more efficient for our sellers! We appreciate your hard work making the Tradesy marketplace a great one! -E

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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!!!!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Fees and payout time

*2019-10-10, version 3.9*

I’m new to Tradesy and thought I would give it a try since I sell on EBay Poshmark and Mercari. I’m okay with the 20% commission fee since it’s pretty standard but to charge another fee to get my money transferred is crazy! It should be a part of the 20% already charged. And then there’s the payout time!! Wow! 21 days to get my money to even be available when the buyer has it within 3-4 days of shipping. That gives all kind of time for problems to be created then you have to wait more than 7 business days to get your transfer even when it gives you a date you still don’t have it by then. For some this is their business and to wait over a month to get paid is just crazy. I won’t be selling on here anymore not worth the hassle when there are so many other easier and great platforms to sell on. Get it together Tradesy you aren’t the only option for sellers!

### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

*2019-06-18, version 3.7.1*

The reason I am displeased with Tradesy is due to a recent transaction in which I had previously selected shipping through Tradesy, however the buyer contacted me asking for a faster shipment and instead of waiting for Tradesy’s bag to arrive I switched options after item had been purchased and selected to “provide my own” when doing this there was NO INDICATION that upon changing shipping option I would not be entitled to the shipping funds ergo Tradesy kept the shipping money for a package I provided. Customer service did reach out promptly however employees didn’t really provide a solution it was mostly a “GOSH thanks for the feedback”. I will be closing my account after the transaction as I am utterly dissatisfied with the situation and I know this means nothing to the company as there are thousands of other users, but I want to make a statement as to how dissapointed the circumstance has made me. However the app does run smoothly - the developer does deserve a 5 star review.

### 1/5 — Sellers Beware!!!!

*2019-04-25, version 3.7*

I was iffy about Tradesy from the start but had a few transactions that went okay... and then it was all down hill from there.  I have to say in my opinion there is little to no seller protection and they make return decisions in completely arbitrary ways and have no communication in their return departments.  Seems like they make it up as the go.  They hold funds and don’t release them without specific requests and basically you have to watch every single transaction like an absolute hawk to make sure things go the way they are supposed to.  Plus the time periods to release money and transfer it is lengthy and makes keeping track of things next to impossible.  Additionally, they take a 19.8% commission from you right off the top and it costs another 2.9% transfer fee to get your money out but if you have a return they make you pay back 100% of the purchase price so you lose double the money - which frankly is insane.  I have taken all my items down and will not be using it anymore.  I would advise you not to risk your money or items by going through Tradesy.  Poshmark is a much much much safer bet for all parties - buyers and sellers.   Best of luck to you all.

### 1/5 — Not what you think

*2019-04-18, version 3.6*

This app was great when it first came out. Since then all the things that they offered have gone to the wayside, making this a far inferior sales app. If you are a seller look Elsewhere, they are worse than any other app. They say they take returns so you don’t have too... but they have so many rules and refuse to take darn near everything it’s pointless. Buyers are free to buy, wear, reattach tag (or not) and easily return.. anything under $150(which is more than half their items)... you get screwed with funds deducted from your account and an item back you can no longer sell as new. This is like a free rental app to buyers. And it is hurting sellers. They take forever to pay out... 21 days plus another 10 to transfer the funds... an entire month... eBay is instant! Sales of my expenses luxury items has drastically declined as well. As a seller, I get far more services elsewhere for a far lower fee. Even consigning on the RealReal is better than here now, as they can fetch higher prices. 
So sad to see something that was good in the beginning change their policies so much to the point that they are irrelevant to the luxury and designer goods sales market. 
Don’t waste the energy listing here.

### 1/5 — DO NOT SELL ON THIS APP

*2019-04-12, version 3.6*

After selling an brand new unisex/women’s Yeezy sweater with tags on tradesy the item was returned by the buyer (who apparently did not do any research or read my description stating it was an oversized fit) tradesy then held my sweater and money for about 20+ days. According to tradesy even if your item is returned they will still pay you but that was not the case for me. They returned my item back to me claimed my sweater was a mens sweater. After sending them a few emails (with no response) proving to them the sweater was being sold as women’s at many stores they finally responded that the sweater had multiple sizes (men’s and women’s) and I had to prove which one it was. Uh there is no way to prove sweater gender on a unisex sweater. I’ve now given up and vowed to never sell of buy on this app again.  Anyway be careful selling with tradesy they will use any loophole they can to not give you your money.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2019-04-10, version 3.6*

I would like to share my experience on Tradesy. I am new on this site but have sold on other sites such as Poshmark and Mercari for many years and never have any issues! I made first sale on Tradesy But buyer returned the jacket saying the tag wasn’t attached which was a lie. She should of contact me and ask to accept the jacket back and I would. She didn’t have decency to include a tag in returned package which stops me to resell the jacket as new with a tag. Tradesy never updates me on progress of my sale. I spoke to customer service Jason who I requested email with tracking number which never arrived after he said he will resend. This was my first unfortunate experience with Tradesy who doesn’t protect sellers rights. I will close my account with Tradesy as soon as I can. I will stay with reputable company Poshmark where I sold for about $5000 for the last few years! Just want to say live and learn. Regards, Mara Matarazzo

### 1/5 — High Fees and extremely late payments

*2019-02-12, version 3.4*

I’ve been using this app for over a year and I’ve Purchased couple of items through their platform. Although I didn’t have much issues as a purchaser, as a seller however, these guys are absolutely horrible. 

First and foremost they take almost 20% commission of your already heavily discounted sale price. Secondly, the platform automatically drops your sale price by another 15% and guess who takes the hit, us as the sellers. This option is set by default which I didn’t even notice. Very tricky. 

Thirdly, the whole authentication process is a joke. They never even looked any my watches for sale as I could sold a fake one and the customer could’ve never caught that. 

Forth, they take another 21 days after you’ve already delivered the item to the buyer to release the funds. Oh wait, they don’t actually release it rather they allow you to transfer it to bank account or PayPal which takes another week before you see the funds. (Still waiting for mine to come by the way) 

Lastly, the charge you another 3% to transfer your own hard earned funds. Ridiculous!!! 

Bottom line, I do NOT recommend this company for selling your items. I’m going to look for other platforms for selling my stuff.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t sell with them again

*2018-11-30, version 3.0*

As of today it’s been a month since I’ve made my sale and I still haven’t gotten paid. It took longer to sell my item because there no way of sharing your items or anything. Its like an ordinary resale website. The only advantage this app has over other resale apps is the shipping kit and to be honest I’d rather deal with the headache of handling shipping on my own. It doesn’t take that much effort. The app itself is beautiful and they take a 20% fee with an additional 2.9% transfer fee. It’s so not worth a 2.9% transfer fee. I’ll never post with them again after the amount of time that it took to sell and get paid. Not recommended. Poshmark takes two business days to transfer money and there’s a lot more features that help you sell quickly. I’ve sold so many more things on there in just a few months compared to this app

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Selling fees are too high and it takes forever to get paid

*2019-11-01, version 3.9.1*

The Pros for using Tradesy is that listing an item is pretty fast and effortless. They have a great response time if you have an issue.  You also don’t have to worry about dealing with returns as Tradesy accepts all returns and as long as the item was as described, you get to keep the money that the item sold for. Tradesy will resell the item on its own. 

The Cons for selling on Tradesy and using the app is that if you have your notifications turned on, you will get too many marketing notifications throughout the day. The seller fees are also exuberantly high with no explanation as the selling fee is 19.2% on Tradesy while it is only 10% on eBay. Tradesy also charges sellers a 2.8% transfer fee which should be free considering that they are already getting 19.2% commission. The worst part about using Tradesy to sell your item is that it takes forever to get paid. If you have a good reputation selling on eBay, your funds are available immediately for use. Not on Tradesy. It can take 3 weeks to get your money and there really is no justification for this. They should have a buyers review or rating system like all of the other selling apps and if the buyer is happy with their purchase, your funds should be released immediately. A few years back they would release your funds within 3 days after the buyer received the item. Now it is 3 weeks which is not at all fair to the seller.

### 5/5 — Bought damaged item and have keep it

*2019-05-23, version 3.7.1*

I bought a high price item from tradsey and the stitching had come undone the pics that the seller had posted were screen shots most likely from where they had purchased. Tradesy did not contact me and sent them back to me the buyer and said this does not match the pictures  she had posted. I had taken pics of the item received within half hr of receiving them time stamped. Then i spoke with customer care and hes asked me to list them again on their site . They not only take a huge chunk of your earnings but also dont pay you for over a month this will be the last time i use this site, the item i bought was over $500 this is not acceptable.

### 5/5 — Authentic!

*2019-02-05, version 3.4*

Tradesy is the real deal.  I have been listing my personal purses from my closet and also purchasing items from other sellers... each time I have an interaction with someone it has been fantastic. I will say I have never had a bad experience yet. I have personally connected w each of my Buyers and Sellers... A quality place brings quality people... that’s what we’re all looking for kind, quality, honest people    Their Customer service is always always there for any questions, concerns, returns,  they’re just fantastic. The group of people on this site are all in the same boat : wanting to sell and buy luxury items without any hoopla or nonsense. My personal experience is exceptional.... A+

### 5/5 — Best Online Consignment!!

*2018-06-18, version 2.7.1*

Tradesy is a fantastic (designer) online consignment store! I’ve been using Tradesy since 2012. This is my “go-to” shopping place whether it’s a gift purchase or personal. Plus, I’ve sold numerous pieces on this site. The customer service is impeccable. Early on I purchased a handbag & the buyer labeled it as “authentic”, but was far from it. I don’t remember the designer, but I remember the experience. I called, then returned it per Tradesy’s request. Within just 2-3 days I rec’d a refund on my credit card. There was no interrogation about the flaws I noticed. Just incredible service. Six years later? I’ve not had any issues with the merchandise and I’ve made “a lot” of purchases since then. Do it! Check them out!!

### 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!

### 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.

### 4/5 — As a seller

*2019-10-19, version 3.9.1*

I enjoy selling on the app, the only two challenges is the extreme length of time between selling an item for funds being released then the length of actually receiving the funds. I only list 25% of my items on this app due to the extreme length of time before receiving the funds, I can’t get other sellers to start using the app due to my experience. Once a seller receives an item, after a few days they know if they would like to keep the item or return the item. I appreciate protecting the buyers but not sure it’s worth sacrificing at the sellers expense. The other issue is the fees, it’s more expensive to sell on this app compared to every other seller app, it’s a double hit to earn less plus wait weeks to receive your funds (in my case I’ve yet received the funds within the timeline listed on the payout, I always have to send a message to get my funds released).

### 4/5 — Great Platform for Higher End Items and Buyers

*2018-12-21, version 3.2*

The big con is that you have to wait up to 21 days for your earnings from sales. According to the support staff this is something they are working to improve. I’m sure this is causing them to loose business.

Outside of that, I feel that this is the best platform for selling higher end items. You interact with serious buyers, and you don’t have to waste a lot of time with buyers trying to lowball you like they do on other fashion selling platforms.

One big plus for me is that they do an excellent job of keeping the platform free of non-fashion/accessory items. For example, Poshmark claims to be a strictly fashion/accessory platform, but there are a tremendous amount of items that don’t fall under these categories. In comparison, the Tradesy platform has a very professional and classy look to it. 

Also, once you’ve made a sale, their process is very streamlined and easy; plus sellers on this platform aren’t expecting you to do a lot of extra work, like gift wrapping and cards - just proper packaging like you’d receive from a department store.

For those that are frustrated by the customer service on other fashion selling platforms, Tradesy is the place that’s got this figured out. Their customer service is superb. They are very responsive and professional.
