It took a while for my package to ship…. A week. Not sure if that was due to the item having to get inspected? Every other purchase shipped within a day or two and they were over $500. Other than that… no issues!
I received my order quickly and the product was as described. I will use Tradesy in the future.
My experience was great, but this bag was advertised as being black and it is dark brown
Easy, quick, legit. I got my Gucci bucket hat within 4 days, and it is verified official by the Gucci store I brought it to today. Very happy.
It's nice that you gave me 15 off but overall the prices are to high.
It's nice to find things I need here.
The item I have received so far was great. The two items that were cancelled after being charged wasn't a good experience.
Sunglasses were gorgeous. My teen likes nice glasses but loses them. Instead of it being a huge problem, it's a mere annoyance when she looses a resale pair. It also makes sense with environmental issues in mind. Why buy new when there's already so many things made?
Great experience and very satisfy with my purchase.
Seamless transaction. Pictures and descriptions were exactly what was delivered. The 2 freebies were also a nice touch.
I received my LV and it is better than I expected, especially as a used bag. Shipping was fast. I am very very pleased with my purchase.
I was very leery at first using this site but it actually worked out great. I got the purse very quickly and it looked brand new. Very happy overall.
The purse is beautiful. It has a light "perfume" smell, but it does not bother me … other than that is perfect! Love it!
I just received this beautiful handbag at a fabulous price. The seller kept in touch with me - shipping so quick. I am beyond thrilled.
Super fast shipping, easy site navigation and wonderful customer service
Love it, simple and easy should've done it a lot sooner!
Do not buy anything on that terrible web platform.
90% of what I bought was fake! I spent 1000s of dollars of fake shoes and have never had even a chance to return it. Total waste of money. They do not care if seller is genuine.
Scam, scam, scam.
On of my $600 shoes was so fake, so they loose the red sole in one hour! Its FAKE!
Nobody does anything!
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.
