We monitor reviews for authenticity
Charm was listed as being 1" long. It is less than 1/2". Box & pouch were not authentic. Necklace appears to be a fake as well for multiple reasons; too involved to go into detail. Item was not shipped from US as indicated in description; it was shipped from Japan.
Awesome seller! Great communication, quick shipping, just as described, great price. Thank you SO much!
I did some checking on line and found that these sneakers run a little big so I figured I'd be ok. Bingo!
To Tradesy:
Received the package in good condition.
Looks good but had stains and faded rusted iron for the handles. The bag handles had rusted iron where the Gucci sign is which was not shown in the picture of the bag on the website and the handles also had black stains and smells really funky but overall it's not bad for the price and it's manageable which was what I was looking for I guess. But it would've been nice to see the rusted iron handles in the picture before I purchased it tbh.
I love it! In beautiful condition as advertised. Thank you!
Great experience - seller communicated with me from purchase to delivery. Provided tracking and arrived in a day.
Bag was as described seller had quick international shipping!
I had a question about my purchase. Tradesy answered the call with a live person, understood my concerns, reviewed my question with Tradesy team and contacted the seller on my behalf. Then i was called back with my question fully answered, and the order placed. That is customer service! You can purchase with confidence.
My shipping had a lot of issues, but no problems with Tradesy themselves.
This was an awesome purchase and experience. The seller kept me informed about the delivery. I received my bag which was in impeccable shape. Way above expectation. Thank you!
Fantastic transaction... fast shipping... great price
The shoes are beautiful and exactly as described. I will definitely continue buying from Tradesy, highly recommended!
Surprised that my items were delivered so quickly.
Great experience with seller, communicates quickly and shipping was super fast!
I purchased Gucci Slingback shoes from Tradesy and I love them! Other than experiencing grief with Fed-ex saying they attempted delivery of the shoes on two separate occasions and I wasn't home - which is a lie; I am so in love with the shoes. I will buy from this seller again AND from Tradesy!
Beautiful bag, fast shipping. I always trust Tradesy to have the best products.
Answer: Don't Do It! It takes at least 10 days to get paid. They prefer people that they can control. When you become successful, they will make upp a reason to suspend your account. TRADESY sell fakes, the owner is the closet owner of PENNY LANE It has been proven time and time again she sells Fakes. If you question TRADESY, they will shut your account down, and they do so WITHOUT even talking to you. Bunch of Bullies! Find an alternative. I AM IN THE MIST OF COMMENCING CLASS SUIT ACTION. THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!
Answer: They advertise a strict selling policy of authentic and accurate descriptions for listing. If by chance an item received is questionable, they have a review process to protect the buyer unlike many other sites out there.
Answer: It says that everything is guaranteed authentic but you have to know your stuff to know if it is authentic. Tradesy people don't see the items unless it is sold and the buyer complains about authenticity. So if you put your trust on tradesy, you are 100% WRONG and will get scammed.
Answer: Yep. Tradesy are infamous for holding your money! They will also refund a sale without any communication with the seller, they don't even tell you why. Tradesy hooked up with Authenticate First, these people don't know what they are doing. Well the messed up big time with my bag, see it was authenticated by a very reputable company. I have ALL my bags authenticated BEFORE I list for sale and of course have the documentation to prove it. The bag was in perfect shape. Tradesy are ignorant, unprofessional and teamed up with a company (authenticate first) who have their heads where the sun don't shine. Tradesy are totally so unprofessional they have not bothered to send me an email even notifying me of the refund, I only found out when I checked on the sales delivery date to find a little sentence that says "refunded". No explanation why, nor when I can expect my property back. Punks! I am still waiting to receive my bag back. I have read on other sites that Tradesy keep the returns and seller is SOL. One seller was screwed out of 2,500 and never received her property back. Tradesy are shady. Another seller has started a class uit action. It's about time Tradesy were taught a lesson and realized that they have no right to keep sellers property. Apparently they resell the items on another site. The person who started the class usit actin has proof of same. Ironically, although some were refunded allegedly for item being fake, they resell and state that it is authentic. I have removed all my items from this shady scam company. I hope the class suit action closes this scam company down!
Answer: Don't ever do business with Tradesy ever! Learned my lesson. Bought a Chanel bag that doesn't look like anything they showed. I took some pictures of what I received vs. what they showed on their listing. They still ignorantly argued that those are the same item. They refused to refund me back the money. I finally disputed it with the credit card company. Tradesy almost ripped me off of my $1,600
Answer: I do not shop with tradesy any longer. FAKE prada duffle bag and im done.
Answer: Eileen: There is not a feedback option on Tradesy as there is with ebay and Threadflip. If I were you, I'd contact Tradesy immediately. While the seller may have purchased a bunch of bags to resell, that would definitely make me nervous. How many days has it been since you purchased the handbag? The number of days that the seller has to confirm the sale may have elapsed so you'd be in the clear. We only have so many days to confirm that we will have the item will ship in a timely manner.
Answer: I would highly recommend you look at RealReal or even ebay as I have sold over 100 items on both and although there is occasionally that one off glitch, they do protect the seller and are very fair from a buyer perspective as well. Do not use Tradesy... everything negative you read in reviews is true unfortunately. I did finally get my money back from tradesy as a seller, but I threatened them to no end and actually emailed the CEO... RUN from this site... save yourself the craziness of poor business practices. Best of luck to you!
Answer: I just had a worst experience with customer service also. I bought a chanel bag over $3K and the condition of the bag received was not the same as what was listed. The authentication card was also missing and there was no dust bag as listed. When I tried to complain & return the item, Blair said that the bag left the headquarters in perfect condition. How did the two big black marks were there within 5 second I got it if it left the headquarter in perfect condition. Instead of trying to solve the issue with the seller about the auth card, she said I could re-list the item to recoup the fund? There was no sign that the item was on final sale. If I knew there were no authentication card and the item was on final sale, I would not spend over $3K for the bag. It was the worst experience of customer service they've had. Lesson learnt and I will not do any business with this site anymore. I will write to BBB and I hope people will do the same.
