Item is exactly as described. Could not be more perfect. Couldn't love it more. Great experience! Once it shipped, arrived in just a few days which us a miracle to Hawaii. Thanks!
This is a true statement. The handbag I purchased had been altered with some sort of paint. The smell was toxic. I can't believe traders approved this sale
Fast. Simple. Easy to navigate. Prompt shipment and well packaged.
Quick shipping and items is just as described. I ordered about a week ago, seller confirmed and shipped within 72 hours and I have the shoes. They are perfect and my daughter will love them. Thanks for always being an option in my spending budget.
The trench coat is even better that in the photo! Impeccable. I love it. Thanks Cindy for shipping it so fast.
The handbag I purchased was listed as new with tags. When I opened the box after I received it in the mail, the tag fell off and onto the floor because it was not attached and I noticed the handbag had rust on a metal emblem. This was very obvious. When I reached out to the seller about this, they messaged back "It was brand new"
Won't be buying from this site anymore.
Hi There,

We are so incredibly sorry that your item was not accurately represented and came damaged. We do hold our sellers to a high standard when it comes to being thorough in their description of items.

The wallet is to small and all of my stuff won't fit. They want me to take pictures, I know it's covid but I don't understand taking pictures of a wallet. I can see if it was clothes or shoes
Hi There,

Regarding returns, I can completely understand how frustrating the returns process can be, especially if photos are required in order to send the item back to us within a limited timeframe. This step helps our Returns Team know exactly what is being sent to our facility, and in what condition. Again, even though at this time this is a necessary step in our process, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve, please do not hesitate to give us a call at (844) 988-7233 and one of our Member Care representatives can definitely share your insight with our returns manager. Please know we're always looking for ways to streamline our services to make them easy and reliable for you as our customer.

Fast delivery, item as described. Will definitely do businesses with them again.
Twice I've found items that I discovered after they were sold out everywhere else and twice I've been lucky enough to find them here. Both items were exactly as described and the shipping arrived in a timely manner. Super happy to shop here when I've missed a special find!
Simple, straight forward transaction with better than expected delivery time.
Second purchase on Tradesy, first purchase with eLady. Would've given 5 stars but... The listing gave no indication that the bag was being shipped from over seas. Normally not an issue but I was ordering as a gift and didn't realize until it was too late that the delivery would take awhile.
All in all, another great experience with Tradesy and I'll be ordering from eLady again.
Love my new bag! Came quickly and looks wonderful. Pics were true to the condition of the bag.
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.
