I bought a pair of Amina Muaddi which turned out to be fake. I knew my exact size before ordering. Only I couldn't find it at Neiman Marcus in the color I wanted it. So when I saw it on this site, I was very excited but hesitant to order it because I am a very cautious buyer and I want to be 100% sure before ordering. Knowing that I had tried this PVC style Holiglass multiple times and confirmed my size is 38.5 in this exact style, I moved forward with purchasing. When the shoe arrived, I was thrilled as I was planning to use it that weekend but to my extreme surprise, I could not even get my toes in there. I took it to Neiman Marcus to compare and see what's going on. They were surprised with sizing too and upon further examination, you could see the details were close to the original but not close enough. Of course, when you are paying full price for fake you can't be that obvious with flaws. The embossing of the logo on the sole was not as prominent on the other Amina's and they brought me multiple shoes to compare to confirm. Plus, the "Made in Italy" part was staggered together as the real Amina's had more definition. The packaging looked ok but of course, you can put a fake shoe in the original box as these boxes go on resale for cheaters like this. I brought up all these points to Tradesy thinking that they will protect the customers as these shoes are coming from private retailers. But they all back each other up to not lose their money. Unfortunately, I fell for their scam, if you are 100% guaranteeing your merchandise why do you not refund but instead you only issue credit in the account. How can I have the trust to buy from you again? It's because you know you will keep the money and there's no 100% guarantee when your items are fake and it's your word against mine. I am a seasoned shopper and I would never buy from your site if this shoe was readily available in authorized retailers but they are so hard to come by in the exact color and style that I had to resort to your site. I hope this is helpful to other customers not to fall for the same trap of "No Fake Sh*t" and 100% guarantee. It's a 100% guarantee to deliver fake and keep your money.
Great job! It was just as said the ring came as expected!
The dress appears to be in new condition, with the tags still on, but I have never seen a dress more wrinkled. It was rolled up into a ball and put in the box. Other than that, everything was great... I would just be more conscious of packaging in the future.
Love the quick shipment I rec'd with the above item; great packaging too!
Tons of fabulous inventory! Quick and easy purchase! Can't wait to get my new bag!
Great experience, definitely will be purchasing again
Beautiful ring but took longer than expected to arrive. Since it was expensive, it required a signature, which did not happen. Just a knock on the door by the Fed Ex delivery man and the package left by the door. Fortunately I was home to retrieve my package immediately, but I live in an apt complex with open hallways and have had several packages stolen before. A signature would've been more secure!
The bag has been beautifully kept, and packaged for delivery... in pristine condition!
I love TRADESY for authentic, timeless, items!
This bag is a beautiful piece of summer luxury! I have it in mind for a late August event and will use as often as possible celebrating its beautiful pink color.
I sent a message to the seller and she responded quickly. Very pleased with the ease of the purchase. She also agreed to hold on shipping as we were traveling. It worked out perfectly!
I found a hair piece that I wanted for my wedding and couldn't afford on tradesy! The seller was super communicative and kind and I am so happy!
The item arrived exactly as promised. Good condition and shipped properly.
Perfect in every way! Quick shipping and great seller!
Got here in record time. The purse was in immaculate condition. I was thrilled with my purchase
The boots I ordered were very quickly delivered, and they look great!
Would have been 5 stars if they delivered to my front door. I had to pick it up from the post office which was very inconvenient when you have a 1year old
Never had heard of your company before. And was delightfully surprised to find the dress i have been wanting on your site. Thanks!
I received my order very quick which was great! The shoes are just as pictured. I absolutely love them
Item arrived quickly, updated tracking available immediately and item was exactly as described!
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.
