Fast shipping and item in exactly the quality mentioned. Thank you!
This was my first time using Tradesy and some of the sellers drove me nuts.
I was looking for a christmas gift for my girlfriend. I found it rather quickly after reviewing the verification policy on the site. The first seller, listed they ship within 2 to 5 days. I decided to go with it. When I placed that order, I ordered two other purses which were about a third of the cost of this other purse. Within a day, I had shipping information for both of those. The higher item, nothing.
After three days, I sent the seller a question asking for an update. Nothing for two days. Then I got a message from them saying it wouldn't ship for 7 to 10 business days. Huh? I went back and checked the orginal listing and it made no mention of that. So I was upset. I then asked when it would ship. I sent a message for each day, all the way up to day nine. No responses. Nothing. I finally reached out to Tradesy and asked for a refund. I was upset. Very upset. They processed me a refund in a day. All those days and they coudln't even respond to me?
I tried another seller and had the exact same experience! What!?
They need to make sure the shipping windows are listed accurately.
I tried a third time, asking in advance if they actually ship in a day or so and that one worked. Around that time, the first seller finally responded to me. This is around day 16 or so. Saying they were having a hard time finding the product. Huh? I already got a refund at this point and how is that my problem?
Terrible experience. I blame Tradesy for allowing this.
The photo of the item i purchased was not what was shipped to me. I also paid for gift box and the item was not sent in a gift box. I can return the item within 4 days with no questions but I will only get a store credit. This will be the first last and only time I buy from Shadesy

We encourage sellers to accurately list their items, and in cases that a buyer feels it was not accurately described they can file a misrepresentation claim within 4 days of delivery.

Great watch! Beautiful. And arrived before Christmas! Thank you!
My experience with you guys is you were very precise and attentive to my needs
From start to finish. The seller was engaging and shipped so fast
My order was extremely quick-especially since it was during the Holiday season. I am pleased and definitely will continue to use Tradesy.
Product as described. Not so easy to get in contact with seller.
Gorgeous merchandise and excellent seller. Professional service and quick shipping.
This was my first time buying a luxury item from a third party and not directly from the selling company. I was worried that what arrived would not be as photographed. The reality was the opposite. I'm even happier with it in person, if arrived fast, packed well, great quality. Super happy customer?
Shipping and handling was great. My purchase was on time with no delays
Easy shopping for designer products. Shop with confidence!
It is a very fashion and trendy emerging brand handbag, medium size approx12x10 inches, difficult color to find, it is a red red color, well made and good price. Happy with my purchase!
Difficult to make payment and put order using my credit card
At first I didn't see the delivered box, but upon further Inspection I found it and am very happy with it
I was very disappointed l received a delivery date and some how things changed and l received the heels 3-4 days later l had already purchased them from another website before they sold them l wasn't sure when my purchase was coming from Tradesy after the delay it went from being in my city of Houston to being in Denver the next day So Disappointing.
Hi There,
We really hope you're staying healthy and well. We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent feedback regarding your Tradesy experience.
We're sorry to hear about the trouble with your delayed order! We do give our sellers a maximum period of 10 days to ship, including providing the buyer with an active tracking that shows activity.
Where we have seen these tracking delays become more common due to the pandemic, the holiday season, and weather conditions it is still not the experience we want our buyers to have. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
In the future, if you'd like an update on your order, you can always reach out to us and our team of friendly specialists would be more than happy to help reach out to the seller for an update. Feel free to give us a call at 844-988-7233, Monday-Friday from 7 AM - 3 PM PST.
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!
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.
