Fast and easy. I love my beautiful bag. It arrived in gorgeous condition.
Quick shipping and the bag was in beautiful condition as described
Thank you for Versace and Gucci sunglasses. Quickly received too
I tried to cancel on the first hour i purchased it, but no response from the seller. Now its too late for cancellation
Seamless transaction and packaged so well! Would definitely use tradsey again!
I have purchased some used items before but I must say that this order truly surprised me. These shoes are practically brand new and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I would suggest that any time this seller is selling something, do not hesitate to make the purchase. I will absolutely enjoy this item and I am grateful for working with an excellent seller.
The delivery was exactly as stated on the site. Very polite in answering questions with swift response. Thank you
Arrived pretty quick despite all the issues with the mail lately. Product looks good.
I worry the bag I bought is fake. I have two other Louis Vuitton bags I purchased from LV stores & there is a quality difference in item purchased from tracery. The no return policy is not fair to customer, I would not recommend this shopping site
Found what we wanted for the price we wanted and got fast delivery
Fast and accurate, packaged well and was exactly how they described it in the post
I love it so very timely! It was really what I expected and once I am done with paying my credit card off I am purchasing more! I also like how seller reach out out nice touch! I finally own L V bag!
I love Tradesy! It's so easy to navigate through the site!
I love Tradesy! It's so easy to navigate through the site!
Tradesy's "smart technology" authentication process is complete GARBAGE. I spent over $1000 on a "YSL" that is so clearly a fake. The pictures posted by the seller conveniently hide the obvious fake stitching and Tradesy did nothing. Of course when I filed a claim, Tradesy required ME to send them pictures of every part of the bag. A single actual picture of the stitching is evident of how fake this bag is. Yet, their "smart technology" couldn't detect that? You don't even need to feel this bag to know it's fake. YOU CAN TELL BY A SINGLE PICTURE. And then Tradesy only gives you 4 days after you receive it to make a claim. If you ask me, their 99.7% accuracy rating is mostly based on people not following up in time. Their policy is WACK and totally NOT DESIGNED FOR THE CUSTOMER. I took my item to an authorized retailer right away just to make sure and unsurprisingly my bag is FAKE! It's only been two days, I've barely touched the bag, and it's already peeling. GLUE MARKS. Anything you buy from this website, authenticate it yourself and do it quickly because Tradesy is GARBAGE. They're nothing but greedy middle men content with passing GARBAGE along while they "claim" to be so customer-facing. Better yet, don't buy anything from them. Complete garbage.

Place an order to supposedly be delivered FEB 1. Never received after going back & forth and supposed investigations & me signing an affidavit for an item that they claim will require a signature. I'ts now almost a month later & I'm being told no refund, file a police report if I believe it may have been stolen. SERIOUSLY A MONTH LATER. They have my $ & I have nothing. Will file a dispute with my credit card company.DON'T BUY FROM HERE THE SIGNATURE REQUIRED POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE IS A JOKE
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.
