It was so easy to find the product I needed, it arrive clean and perfect condition.
They make it impossible to return. Like it's on purpose. Very dissatisfied
Ordering was easy. Shoes are coming apart at the point where my feet slide in. Need to be glued back together. Unsatisfactory at best!
Great experience! As described! Thank you for packaging it nicely for me and I will look for other items you are selling in case anything else catches my eye. Thanks again! -Sarah
Great experience. No issues. Package arrived when it said it would.
Received today and love it! Cannot wait to use it.
Great experience with timely updates provided on the status and delivery.
Too many duplicates makes it harder to filter. The item was ok. Not too bad for the price, but the item was lacking the oomph factor. Might be the design

I ordered a dress on Tradesy. It was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, and the dress was in great condition.
My experience was fine. Just wish that things could be shipped faster if the buyer was willing to pay extra for the shipping..
Hi Amy,
I really hope you're staying healthy and well. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent feedback regarding your Tradesy experience.
We're so sorry to hear about the trouble with delayed orders!
Where we have seen tracking delays become more common due to the pandemic, it is still not the experience we want our buyers to experience. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
Since Tradesy is a peer-to-peer marketplace, unlike a retail store, we are unable to offer expedited shipping. Items are mailed to you from individual sellers from across the country, who have pre-selected their shipping method.
That being said, you can always reach out to the seller to confirm the delivery timeframe prior to purchase. If they’re using a Tradesy kit or label as most sellers do, they can print their pre-paid shipping label right away. Sometimes sellers are willing to ship on their own and adjust the price of the item to include expedited shipping, but you would have to ask the seller and confirm they can expedite the shipping before you purchase the item. It is up to the seller if they can accommodate expedited shipping.
If you'd like an update on your future orders, 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!

Found what I was looking for quickly
Found the shoes for my sisters wedding. Even though it's Tradesy. It was quite expensive. The seller was not negotiable. At the end of the day my bride loves her shoes.
Simply great options Shipping was fast and updates where available
I had the BEST BEST experience with this purchase. I was very nervous to do this as this was my first time ordering something from a resale site. Tradesy got excellent reviews on customer service and candidness of the item. My experience did not disappoint. Everything from beginning to end was very professional and the Tradesy team was very responsive to all of my questions. I was so fortunate to have been able to communicate directly with the seller who answered all of my questions and was so amazing to work with.
Glasses arrived quickly and were 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.
