Great selection and easy returns for the purchases that turn out to not meet your needs.
Knock offs were no authentic seller swore they were but when received deff are not
The number one reason I purchased on tradesy was the ability to return the item (even if just for a credit). I didn't need to, but just having the option you feel so much more confident about the purchase.
Amazing! Ordered it on Wednesday and got here on Friday! Perfect condition, everything was wrapped up like it was brand new straight from the store.
It was fast, easy and the seller replied to my question right away.
The shoes are exactly as advertised and arrived quickly. Brand new and more than $200 less than retail. Thank-you!
I sent you a note asking for a return label because the purse at the top where the zipper is BLUE! It is not what I expected.
Thanks,
Sylvia Ross
Item as described, and seller was fast at responding my questions.
I'm so happy to find this bag! I got it very quickly and in time for my next trip. This is my first time showing on Tradesy and it has been a good experience. I got an authentic bag in great condition at an attractive price.
I'm so happy to find this bag! Can't wait to receive it!
Shipping dates were supposed to be between July 5 - 8. Arrived the 16th. Not good. Too late for the event that I bought it for.
Hi Ginny,
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 sorry to hear about the trouble with your delayed order! We do give our sellers a maximum period of 10 days to ship, including providing the buyer with an active tracking that shows activity.
Where we have seen tracking delays become more common due to the pandemic, it is still not the experience we want our buyers to have. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you especially since this was for an event.
In the future, do know that if you'd like an update on your order, 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!
Very professional and fast delivery! The cosmetic bag was in good condition and ready for me to fill it up!
Wow! The shoes are perfect. Perfect fit. The packaging was exceptional. I am very very pleased
Anonymous experience, unlike Etsy which is very personal. Poor packaging. Item as described. Blah blah

I have ordered from Tradesy 3 times and each time I received the item in the condition as described and shipping was very timely.
The seller was amazing! Very sweet. Sold me a beautiful item! Very happy! Tradesy didn't send their shipping kit right away and the seller had to ask again - delaying the shipment of the item.
Very communicative and fast. I received an email after the product was delivered to make sure I had received it.
I was pleased with the necklace I purchased and how fast I received my order.
It was wonderful, the packaging was fabulous and it came so fast. Love it
Received my bag very quickly, excellent service, bag was perfect!
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.

You can request a return for any reason within 4 days of delivery. You’ll send the item to Tradesy for free, and we’ll issue Tradesy Site Credit for you to find something new. Once we receive it, we’ll email you to confirm the return has been processed and your Tradesy Site Credit is available.
Additionally, we encourage sellers to accurately list their items, and in cases that a buyer feels it was not accurately described they can file a return as a misrepresentation claim within 4 days of delivery. If it is deemed misrepresented by our returns team we will issue a refund to the original payment source.
If you are within the 4-day return timeframe please go to your Purchases page on your account and click the “Request Return” button on the item you would like to return, then select your return reason and submit the return request.
