Perfect! I placed my order on February 20th and received emails confirming my order as well as when my item was shipped and out for delivery! I received my bag on February 24th and it's exactly as described! I love it!
I purchases a very expensive bag, and what I got was a moldy smelling unable to use piece of JUNK!
I tried to work with the seller, and she told me the smell would go away... one week later I'm still using her recommendation of using a hair drying to get rid of the smell!
I spoke with customer service, and they said... work it out with the seller!
So... if you want to purchase... its up to you, but my first time experience was worse than I expected. I feel USED!
Oh... I should add. After a few days, I did get an email for $70 on site credit to be used anytime. Really? Would I purchase again on this site? I don't think so.
Another great experience with Tradesy! Bought a pair of shoes that arrived as described, new with tags. Bought them with Tradesy credit and cheaper than a department store.
Exactly how it was described, love it, fast and communication was excellent
Easy and well organized. Found just what I wanted. I was very happy!
Delivery was quick and merchandise was is great condition; however, I was disappointed that item was not in original packaging.
Hi Toshiba,
We recently received your feedback and wanted to follow up with you! We're so incredibly sorry to hear about the negative experience you've had with Tradesy. This is far from the experience we want our Tradesy family to have, and extend our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience here.
Regarding your Tory Burch Flats (26823218) order, we're happy to hear that you received it rather quickly and that it was in great condition! Regardless, we're sorry to hear that it did not come with the original packaging!
In the future, you can always send a message to the seller to have them clarify if the item comes with specific components or not. To get in touch, log in or create a Tradesy account if you haven’t already. Once you’re viewing the item, look on the right and scroll down the page. Below the black 'Add to Bag' button you’ll see the item’s condition and then description. Under this, you’ll find Ask a Question in red letters next to the seller’s name. Selecting this pops up a messaging box to start a conversation between the two of you on Tradesy.
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!
Easy transaction. Great experience. Will keep this seller in mind for future buys
Great seller and packaging was beautiful! I'm happy with my seller and bag I just purchased.
Fast delivery will buy from again and items as described authentic
The seller was great and communicative about when my item would be shipped and expected to arrive. I appreciate the attention to those details. The only concern I had was that the box my item was shipped in was too big. When I received my package there was a big whole/ opening on the side of the box and the plastic bad my item was in was sticking 1/2 way out. I do not have a pic. To demonstrate. My only recommendation would be to use a smaller box or package to ship thinner/ smaller items or put enough padding around the item to help keep the package's integrity. Thank you. I do hope to shop with seller again.
I just received my first bag from Tradesy, i'm slightly disappointed. The details on the overall damage to the bag wasn't accurate. The hardware is faded. The bottom is very faded. Tradesy needs to have the sellers send the back to them before approving the sale.

I really like that the website was easy to navigate and there were no technical issues involved with my order. Seller was easy to dal with. All good!
There is a stain I did not see in the pictures and I was sad to see the bag was folded for shipping and I have issues believing authenticity but at the same time I love it
Lightening speed shipping. Packaging kept item protected. I love the bag.
Easy to use the website. Price is good for the product. Received prompt order confirmation and several shipping updates. It was shipped and received very quickly. The product I received was exactly as shown and in perfect condition. Thankfully, I'm pleased with the product and fit, so I can't verify their return/exchange policy. Be aware that there are no refunds, only credit for other items on their website. Other than that, I'm happy with this website and my purchase.
Great service love the wallet. It is very simple to make a Tradesy purchase. I received the wallet fast. Thank you! I recommend Tradesy to everyone
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 Cindy,
We recently received your feedback and wanted to follow up with you! We're so incredibly sorry to hear about the negative experience you've had with Tradesy. This is far from the experience we want our Tradesy family to have, and extend our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience here.
Regarding your Louis Vuitton Artsy Mm Brown Monogram Canvas Shoulder Bag (28573433) order, we're terribly sorry for the trouble here - especially if it arrived misrepresented. Because we are a peer-to-peer marketplace, we differ from your normal retail stores because they carry inventory, whereas items on Tradesy are coming from individual sellers (and businesses) across the nation. That said, we do allow our buyers to request a return for absolutely any reason within 4-days of delivery, including misrepresentation claims.
While we typically do not offer reimbursements, we see that you decided to keep the item which is why a $70 site credit was issued. This amount never expires, so should you decide to shop with us again in the near future, it will apply to your next order automatically.
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!
