I loved my bag! It's as described it was also super fast shipping the seller replied to me literally in a few hours. Over All I loved my experience with Tradesy for being a first timer and will definitely be shopping for more
I'll wait to comment. The glasses arrived on time not a long wait. THEY look good, CLEAN with case and everything, no scratches on the lens... But NOT BIG like my other Sunglasses. I'm a DRIVER in ATL, and I NEED EYE COVERAGE From the Sun, INCLUDING the sides.
The dress came within a short period of time. It looks better than the picture. It fits me like a glove. I'm
So happy that this experience turned out the way it did.

Very prompt response to purchase, & delivery. Package was nicely gift wrapped.
Nice seller. Good communication and delivered perfectly
Amazing selection of items. I've only purchased vintage from Tradesy and it's always been a great experience. Love the tracking / delivery updates! Will purchase (or sell) again.
I received my order quickly and with a nice thank you note from the seller. The seller was very responsive in messages before I placed the order. The item was exactly as advertised, good quality, and authentic.
I love my new purse! Shipping was very quick and the bag looked exactly how I expected!
Seller was very responsive and my item arrived very promptly
Beautiful bag and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Pants are as described and in good condition. Quick delivery. Happy with my transaction
As a buyer I was super happy with my purchase from Tradesy, they do offer a discount on your first order and their return policy is great. Would I buy again w/out that great first coupon? Not likely.
As a seller I'm not thrilled: fees are too high, ~24% of sale because they even charge you for a "safe transfer" of your funds to PP/bank AFTER they already verified your identity. They try to push you to keep and spend the money on their site by basically letting you keep more of it, which is kinda annoying. They also hold your payment for an excessively long 21 days, again for "safety". No thanks, eBay/Posh can 'safely' transfer my funds for free and instantly after the sale - and their overall selling fees are lower.
Omgosh, I can say enough! I'm so pleased with my purchase, it arrived in a timely manner and its STUNNING. It is a birthday gift from my husband and we would def purchase other things from here. Thank You for helping to make my day special.
This was my first purchase and I am very happy. Really quick ship time and a beautiful new jewelry piece to add to my collection. Yay! :)
It was great. Easy and fast. I love my tennis. I will recomended this site!
Thank you to the seller of the beautiful Guggi bag I purchased. It was a quick delivery and packaged securely. It was a great experience.
I ordered a bag from this company thinking I would receive my bag in a week. A month later... no bag! They never told me it would coming from China. I would've never ordered it. The bag has been on hold in customs for two weeks now and I'm told I can't get my money back. Worst experience ever! Will never shop with them again and if you don't like to gamble, I suggest u don't either!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for providing this feedback!
Upon checking, you actually purchased from one of our partner sellers, Coco Luxury. Our Partner sellers are sellers who have an excellent track record with us: an amazing inventory, tons of sales, and almost no returns and misrepresentations. After building this track record with us, we allow some Partner Sellers special perks, including shipping from abroad. Being a pro seller is a great thing and can't be attained easily! We are confident with this seller and the items they sell, but we totally understand that you're in doubt, especially that your money is involved.
I do sincerely apologize the item was on hold with customs but I am glad to see that our team fully refunded you for this purchase! If there is anything further we can do to help make this experience any better, please do not hesitate to ask.
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 Alex,
Thank you for providing this feedback!
We're glad your experience as a buyer is great, but we apologize if your experience as a seller is not so much. We're so sorry to hear about the trouble regarding our commission rate! We believe that our competitive 19.8% commission fee allows more of the earnings from your Tradesy sale to end up in your pocket compared to most other resale options - both on and off the web. Do also know the 2.9% safe transfer fee is a charge from the processing company Stripe we use. This is a fee that is implemented on all transfers and unfortunately since it is another company no way to avoid it. Regardless, I will be sure to share your feedback with our product teams in hopes that they will revisit the sellers' commission structure.
Regarding the wait for these payouts, I agree that 21-days is a bit extensive. However, do note that this is the maximum timeframe! Most times (if there are no return requests from the buyer), seller earnings are released within 7-14 days from the delivery date!
In addition, if there’s anything you’d like to share that would help make your Tradesy experience even better, please let us know. We pride ourselves on the connection we have with our users, and of course, the shared love of fashion and the environment.
To us, your feedback is everything, we’d love to hear from you.
