This site is fun to shop in and you can have great savings on name brand items. It becomes addicting!
Just bought my 3rd Louis Vuitton from this website and I'm thrilled with the purchases.
The purses are of great quality.
Great Company.
My transaction was swift and easy and best of all... they accepted my PayPal! Woooohooo! Best way to shop!
The Selling fees are ridiculous, and upon completion of your sale, you then have to pay them 2.9 % of your money from which they have already taken their cut just to transfer it to your bank account. Addictive to the completed slight, it then takes them 4-7 business days (after they have held your money), just to make the transfer.
I have been selling on tradsey for a little over one and a half years and I only sell never buy so this is from a seller's perspective.
So I made a sale on tradsey and was being falsely accused of selling fake by the buyer and the buyer sent me several aggressive and disturbing messages. At that point, she didn't even receive the item yet because the package was still at the drop-off location. I went to the place where I dropped it off and was able to retrieve my package before it got shipped. Reported this to tradsey customer service right away and they responded saying that they will refer my emails to their "Authenticate and Security Department". The next thing I know, my item was removed and they told me that tradsey does not allow selling replicas. I told them that I was fully aware that policy and this is not a replica and requested them to give me the proof of them reaching that conclusion. They ignored me completely no matter how many emails I sent them. No response and no explaination.
I could care less and just sell my item somewhere else. The bottom line is that they are supposed to provide a platform where the members who sell and buy there can somehow be protected but that is not the case.
So you will probably have good experiences until something bad happens and they will not help you.
Tradesy holds funds for up to 21 days (you have no idea in that time frame when your funds will be released). Then another SEVEN BUSINESS days for them to transfer to your acct. So you are out your items, with no idea if or when you will get paid for them... a MONTH. No breaks for reliable long term sellers, you're still treated like nothing. When they make a mistake, no one takes responsibility there either way... always buyer or sellers fault. 20 minutes on hold to reach someone by phone... which is only open 4 hours a day California time.
Items are beautiful and prices are very good... for buyers. Just beware if you are a seller.
Was skeptical about purchasing but once I received my order all skepticism was eliminated. Would definitely purchase again and the seller Morning Star shipped a true representation of the product displayed. SATISFIED CUSTOMER!
I wish they had a better system in place to authenticate products on their site. I ended up purchasing items that weren't in the condition advertised but since I was outside of their return window nothing could be done about it. The REALREAL seems to have a more trustworthy business model.
Seller (or agent) was very up front about existing problems. I shipped the bag to my restorer(excellent for upscale leather goods). Needs a total new lining and just an outside cleanup. $400. Plus the 150 I paid to Tradesy. I say, knowing what the work will look like and the buyer fee that I have an excellent bargain for a soon to be lovely LV bag. I will gladly share the Restorer upon request. Just contact me thru Tradesy.
I ordered hand bag for my wife. Received item on August 28. My wife did not like the style, so I emailed them to see how to return ( I would have called but no phone number provided by website), I never received a response. I had to leave country shortly thereafter no returned September 6. I inquired gain on how to return and their response was they had a 4 day window to return items no my time was up. I complained but they basically told me too bad I didnt return timely.
This company is a scam, bad customer service, get their money, and screw you. $640.00 I am out with a product my wife has no desire to keep or us. Bad, bad service.
Don't use these people!
I'm been shopping around town for sunglasses that compared to my scratch up Jimmy Choo. It's been over a year and finally your site had them. Awesome search today for Jimmy Choo sunglasses.
One of my best friends swears by this website, and because she is always fabulous, I had to check it out for myself. And I have! So not only do I have the app on my phone, and I am checking it constantly for items from my favorite designers, the customer service is great as well as the sellers. I look forward to working with them over and over. Also, there are ALOT of new items on this site. Some are gently and not so gently used, but it seems to be more new items on here, which I appreciate greatly. Also, I was in receipt of my order in under a week.
WOW. Just wow! I came, I shopped, I lived! The leather smell wafting into my nose right now is all I need. My bags are in marvelous shape, and they are exactly like the pictures. Fast delivery and great packaging. I am a new loyal customer!
Time and time again I am very impressed with Tradsey. I am a seller and faithful customer. I had purchased on other consignment websites and ended up coming back to Tradsey for their customer service, value, and confidence in my purchases! Long love and live, TRADESY!
The website is very misleading. I received a completely fake item and the packaging was terribly done. I've used Trendlee and the packaging was beautiful along with verification of authenticity. DO NOT USE TRADESY!
I placed order on 08/28 and they said seller usually ship between 3-5 days, and it's 5 days already. One seller told me she's on vacation and will come back today, so most likely she will ship on Tuesday. Honestly if they don't ship by next Tuesday, I'll cancel the order and dispute my credit! I place an order with Real real and I received the order already. I think I'll do business with Real Real in future.
The sellers are not honest with their products. I bought a small item it was ripped, faded was not in good standard for resale.
Tradesy as a website is AMAZING. Very prompt, professional customer service. Always willing to go the extra mile to satisfy their customers. I shop almost everyday. If I could afford it, I would buy everyday! I just got a Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 for only $480! It's beautiful. And a pair of Givenchy Shark Lock boots, I only paid $1200! They retail for $2500! You can't beat that! Almost every seller I've come in contact with seems to have very respectable, and similar values. Of course their are the bad apples. But such is life... Tradesy is awesome! If you can afford the designers and prices. Don't hesitate! You wont regret it!
I enjoyed shopping on Tradesey. They had exactly what I was looking for. My favorite part was checking out as it was a simple process without too much rigamorole. I am curious to see how my shoes that I bought actually turn out. Yay!
I'm enjoy shopping from tradesy.com and this is my first time on line shopping with your company which have almost everything you can imagine. Keep up the good work.
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.
