Will definitely purchase from this seller again! Received everything in the description and shoes looked exactly as the pictures!
Tradesy used to be good. I have sold thousands of dollars worth of bags on their website. But since COVID, they now allow returns, and they keep the money you earned for them from the sale of your bag... they give your customer a site credit, and you get back your bag. And they keep the money. Then they say ' they are inspecting your bag' to see the condition it's in... they do not know what your bag looked like when shipped! A photo does not do everything! So anyone can purchase your Chanel, Hermes, Louis bag, wear it to a wedding, take care of it, and ship it back to you -- my Louis Vuitton bag was new- I sold it twice... the first time it came back a bit creased -- but the second time it came back with ripples on the vinyl The bag looked terrible, I called Louis Vuitton and they instructed me how to use a hair dryer and smooth back the vinyl fabric on the bag. Meanwhile Tradesy was holding onto over 5K of cash they earned for MY Louis Bag. I get back a damaged bag. They said 'it looked fine' but they have no idea what it was when I sent it... then the customer can use the credit on the site for another bag. But still Tradesy gets huge cash advances made off of your handbags and you get nothing -! Its totally unfair now, and I will not be using them again. The Real Real does not allow returns on their high end bags... and neither should Tradesy on high end designer bags like Chanel, Prada, Louis or Hermes... they should only allow returns if the item is misrepresented or a fake. I am hoping they will reconsider this harmful return policy for sellers... I would not dare let one of my 8K Chanels be sold and shipped across the USA only to have it returned and then Tradesy keeps the 8K (Of course until that customer uses the site credit they issue, which could be ages. So they build up their cash reserves -- good biz for them, but not fair to sellers -. As I said, they used to keep the bags, and the seller would keep the money. No longer. So please hesitate before you list expensive bags with them and make them money while you get returned a bag that has most likely been worn by someone.
Customer service is great! Very patient and helpful
Arrived in a timely manner and packaged carefully. I appreciated the note and would order from this seller again!
Excellent! Item as described and fast shipping! Would order again
Purchase and delivery was very fast! Bag in perfect condition!
I love it just like I imagined! Thank you very much
I was so ready to love this dress. Unfortunately it looked terrible on me. Easy return. Just got online to look for another one.
Great condition and timely arrival. Very pleased with my purchase
I received the bag very quickly and it was packaged nicely with a nice thank you note. The bag is in good condition. The only complaint is it had a mild odor I think the original owner was a smoker.
Everything went exactly as I expected. Bag arrived on time and I love it.
I trust this bag will arrive in the condition stated.
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition, 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.

Hi Shannon,
We really hope you're staying healthy and well. We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent feedback regarding your Tradesy experience.
To clarify, our team has actually been working remotely since March of last year, as we no longer have a facility to hold returned items. Because of this, we had to update our return policy back in March to accommodate for COVID, as well as the safety of our team. We certainly apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
However, please know that Tradesy will continue to inspect every returned item for your protection and to ensure that the item is in the same condition as when it was sold, and prevent any type of fraudulent behavior.
I know how frustrating it can be to spend time mailing out a parcel, only to have it returned by the buyer - especially if you shipped the item out using your own method of shipping. Regardless, I want to help in any way possible - please feel free to give us a call whenever you can at 844-988-7233, Monday-Friday from 8AM-1PM PST and we'd be more than happy to see what we can do to turn this experience around.
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!
