My experience was AWESOME! The keychain fib looks better than the pictures for purchase. I am very pleased. 5 stars
Beautiful person in perfect condition brand new it looks like I love it
So my product was to arrive to the person on a Tuesday. I spoke to customer service and the date changed to Thursday. Now it says it could take up to 7 days for you to receive your funds. On the 7th day I was told it would not post to my account until the close of business on the 7th day or the 8th. It posted on the 8th day. I did a debit transfer and got a message that it will take Tradesy 5 days to transfer. That is absolutely insane. It's bad enough that now you have to pay an additional 2.90 percent to transfer your money. On top of the ridiculous fees that Tradesy is now charging to sell. I used them in the past and it was not like thus at all. They should be paying me interest while I wait on my profit. I will not be using their service in the future.
Great experience. Great quality! Very happy with my purchase!
I sent an email asking for more information about the purse and had it been certified as being authentic. I can't tell if it authentic or not no paperwork was with the purse. Thank you

We hope we were able to address all of your concerns, but if there's anything else you need please don't hesitate to ask. We want to do anything we can to make each experience worthy of your best possible rating!
Not only do they take over 23% commission, I had one package returned with nothing inside and they gave the money back to the buyer and I lost over $1500. I t just happen again where someone returned a Tiffany necklace of $1000 and arrived broken and I got screwed from that too. There is no seller protection and buyers can return for any reason. You been warned!

I have had 3 experiences. All have been first class and professional to deal with. Will continue with Tradesy.
This is my favorite shopping site for designer goods.
This is my favorite shopping site for designer goods.
The clutch came exactly as described. Took a little longer to ship but it's my understanding Tradesy was requesting additional photos. Great experience!
I wasn't really sure what to expect. I had never used Tradesy before. The item that I ordered arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I would use this method of shopping again.
I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient and courteous your staff was during my conversation. They were able to handle the issue efficiently which made me feel at ease to purchase again.
Shipped right away. Great condition! This bag is perfect size for cards and phone. Just what I needed.
I purchased a black Christian Dior leather bag from Bargained Findings, on Tradesy. She was ABSOLUTELY the BEST! Shipping, packaging, freebies, etc. were ALL WONDERFUL! I like Tradesy, but they ONLY offer site credit with VERY limited refund situations! If they offered refunds, I would feel more confident in purchasing on their site!
Extremely fast shipping. Arrived in original packaging and in very good condition. Would buy from this seller again.
Excellent customer service and will absolutely purchase again. Trustworthy and reliable.
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.

Hi There,
We are so sorry for the experience you’ve had with our payout process. Per our new payout policy, you will be able to withdraw funds at midnight (PST) on the morning of the 8th day from delivery. We completely understand how frustrating it is to what for the funds to be released and then have to wait an additional time for the funds to transfer. We are so sorry for the inconvenience.
I wanted to also further clarify why our safe transfer fee is needed. The 2.9% safe transfer fee is a fee charged from the payment processor that we use (STRIPE). This processing fee is covered by Tradesy at the time of check out when a buyer places an order, so there is, unfortunately, no way to waive this fee.
Regardless, we're terribly sorry for the trouble and inconvenience this fee has caused. We will be sure to share your feedback with our team here in hopes that they will re-evaluate the seller's fees, commission structure
And payout timeframe.
If there's anything else you need please don't hesitate to ask. We want to do anything we can to make each experience worthy of your best possible rating!
