Would have given them a five at one point. There are several issues with the app, miscommunication, etc, but the main reason for the rating is that they have gone up on their commission rates, fees, etc. I have been selling and buying for a few years now. Many of my items were not high price or could not sell for what thought was fair considering new with tags, and was selling for up to 60% or more off list price! E.g. A $60 pair of Guess Sandals, never been worn as heel too high after knee surgery. Had them listed initially at $35 INCLUDING shipping. My profit would have been about $26. Then lowered, and lowered, still no takers. Now listed at $16 plus $8.50 flat rate shipping from them-I print label. I sold a pair of dressy, bendable flats with matching bag with $65-never worn. I lowered the price to $10. Then, a woman with MS said needed dressy flats for a wedding, lived in area far from decent shoe stores. Having bad luck and asked would I sell for $8.50 and shipping $8.50. How could I say no? I made $6 & change on them! I have purchased several like new coach bags for under $50. The bulk of my sales were under $18, many $10 or lower. Now, they released new info yesterday that any sales under $50, their commission fees will be a flat rate of $7.50! I have items lowered to under $10 after numerous reductions, despite many showing interest, but no bites. Yet, at one point, made about $120 in just over a 6 month period on items priced $15 or less! I sold a pair, shipped yesterday, making $6.50 for $49.00 New with tags Dr. Scholl's clogs that I reduced many times-sold day after reduced to $8.50, made $6.59! Now, much of my inventory is priced so I will take a loss on. Therefore, I have to pull out these listings. Poshmark wants $4.50, thought that was crazy. This is far worse now. I am so angry! How can I raise prices on items I've lowered b/c no movement or charge more for a top than what the tag says plus shipping? I have a coach bag and a wool coat wore once that I might be able to sell for $50+, but no guarantees. Pros: They deal with returns and if item returned, the seller keeps the earnings, regardless!

Tradesy has quite stealthily sought out the demise of sellers who sale mainstream merchandise that caters to the average shopper. A few months ago they raised their commission rates from 8.9% to 14.9%. Yesterday, they sent sellers an email stating that any items sold for $50.00 or less, they will take a flat commission rate of $7.50. I believe this is a way to push out sellers who do not consistently sale high end merchandise.

Tradesy has failed to realize that most of their earnings in totality have come from lower priced items that the real world can afford. More affluent shoppers prefer to purchase new items and enjoying the shopping experience in stores. Although it may not be now, I believe Tradesy is going to regret making this decision.

This is in reply to those who are buying items from Tradesy and state it's fake. If you want the REAL thing, go direct to the manufacturer. Any site, Tradesy - Ebay - the REALREAL - cannot guarantee that the seller is selling an authentic item. The problem is buyers want a "deal" and don't want to buy full price. The designers always run sales and have outlets, which the buyers should go to. I would never buy any luxury designer item from off the internet. Notice you don't get "fake" complaints with Levi Jeans, Ann Taylor, Uniqlo, Columbia, etc. only with the high priced designer goods.

I have been purchasing and selling on Tradesy for about 3 years. It was great initially, but in the past year or so, things have gone downhill, particularly for sellers. First, they increased their commission from 9% to 14.9% with very short notice. I get it, they needed to make money, so I kept selling and just increased the prices of my own inventory to offset some of that increase. Then I noticed they were taking commission out of my postal charges if I chose to pay postage myself. I sell many items that the postal rate is no more than $4, so I did not want to charge someone a flat rate fee of $8.50, which is Tradey's flat rate postal fee. And, they just decided to increase the flat rate fee to $10.50! That makes sense on a larger item, like a purse, but not clothes, which is a huge part of their business. So, It seems like they are ripping off the buyers on shipping fees. Then to charge the seller commission on their own postage rate is ridiculous. Today, I received notification that any item selling for less than $50 will have an automatic $7.50 flat rate commission on it. All of these changes are just causing sellers to increase their prices to a point where they are no longer competitive with other resale sites. I have sold almost $3,000 worth of stuff on their site, but just don't feel right selling on here anymore. So, I am done with this company.

Tradesy use to be a great company to sell on about 2-3 years ago. When I would sell something their commission was way lower and the day I shipped I got paid that day. Now there commission is 14%!!! I believe it use to be 7-9% also it takes almost 3 weeks before they release your money even after the customer has received your item 2 weeks earlier. Then another 4-5 days to show up in your account. And if you ever email then it usually takes 3 business days for them to get back to you. Your better off selling on a different site don't waste your time.
