The hat is the same as described.
Delivery is soon.
Very Promy and answered my all of my questions.
Will use Sender again. Thank You.
Positive: Fast shipping, all as shown in images, and as described. Good quality.
Negative: Strong odor like deodorized kitty litter or fabric softener 'fragrance'.
Hanging up outside for a couple days and hopefully that will help dissipate the odor.

My Coach wallet was in even better condition than I expected. Delivery was super fast & the process was easy. I'll definitely shop again.
Not happy with the product, will be returning. Did not like the sunglasses, looked different than pictured on the website.

The site is legit and my product was authentic! Communication with seller was great. Overall simple experience.
My mom and I have sold on here for years, when they first opened and their fees were way less. I sell to help pay for her medical bills and the return policy was... a buyer can request within 4 days. If the item is accurate, Tradesy keeps it and relists the item, buyer gets a credit and seller gets paid. Now it seems I was not informed they changed this and buyers can return for any reason, they get a credit, Tradesy keeps the earnings since the buyer gets a store credit, item after inspection gets sent to seller. I won't get back for at least two weeks. Horrible policy, had I known I wouldn't have sold it. Item was listed with correct size, I was due to get paid out today and only now, 8 days later the buyer asked to return. When I contacted Tradesy, I asked about it being past the 4 day window, they said the policy change but also the buyer turned in a request the day it was received. However she has had it for 8 days and only today, over a week, shipped it to Tradesy. She states its too small for her now. How is this fair? Why wasn't it shipped within 24 hrs of applying for a return, if this is the 'new return policy?' What is Tradesy doing with the earnings then, if the buyer only gets a credit and we get the item back, most likely in a more worn condition.

Shoes are perfect and are in great condition. Exactly as described.
Great experience. Fast shipping. Good communication. Will recommend.
I had a great experience and love my bag. It looks almost brand new. Thank you
I received the purse in a timely fashion. It's very nice. Thank you
I found the perfect bag in great condition for a fair price. Love it!
Fast shipping, purse was exactly as described. Love it so much!
Quick shipping. As described. Perfect condition!
Would buy from this seller again.
THERE IS ZERO PROTECTION AND LIABILITY FROM THEIR PART. THEY CHARGE YOU OVER 25%. YET PEOPLE CAN STEAL YOUR ITEMS BY BUYING AND RETURNING A DIFFERENT ITEM. I NOW SELL ON THE REAL REAL. THEY'RE MORE LEGIT. IMAGINE SHIPPING A VERY HIGH PRICED ITEM THEN A FAKE ONE IS RETURNED TO YOU. ZERO PROTECTION. ZERO VETTING. SELLERS AND BUYERS BEWARE!

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.
