I'm hooked! Ebay has lost some business to YOU. Thank you. I will be recommending Tradesy's awesomeness to my friends.
After searching other websites for a specific sunglass color and shape with no luck, I finally looked at tradesy.com. In less than 10 minutes I found the perfect sunglasses! I'm really happy with how easy it was and am excited to receive my sunglasses! I wish I had been shopping on tradesy.com a long time ago!
Good buys very friendly people to deal with lots of different brands and styles easy buy and returns
We ordered an item from Tradesy and it arrived without any paperwork regarding the price paid and any information regarding returns incase we were not satisfied with the product. After reviewing the product we elected to return the product because it was not exactly what we wanted. In trying to make the return to the company, after emailing them several times outside of the 4 day return policy, we were finally told they would not accept the return. We could not possibly know their policy since they never provided us any paperwork with the shipment. This is not the way to do business. We stopped payment with Amex and will place our comments on Facebook and with the Better Business Bureau.
This is not a company top buy from.
This is a very disappointing transaction. We buy from many online retailers and have never had an experience like this before.
Ive never been let down by any of the sellers on tradesy and their shipping has always been on time. I highly recommend them to any fashionista that loves a steal of a deal!
Fast, quick shipping, easy to find what I was looking for. The seller stayed in contact and shipped fast and packed well. I was pleased and would buy from the site again.
The small bag advertised is missing. The quality of the bag is not the same as other MCM products I've purchased.
Had a nice time shopping made a order hope I'm satisfied with my order when it comes and I will be back again!
Be aware! I bought this pair of shoes on Tradesy, which has incorrect description. Long story short, the boots describe as over-the-knee boots, however, they go middle of my knee and I'm 5ft0 and under my friend's knee. I checked on the other websites, it said this style is knee-high. I believe there must be wrong so I file a claim. However, Tradesy doesn't approve it, say it's accurate and give me site credit. The funny part is the shoes were relisted by Abbey R, I believe it's Tradesy account. They post the same shoes (I know because this style is discontinue and it's already on my favorite list), but now it has different description, it's now said "TALL BOOTS". So you know they make money A LOT, now they can both give me site credit (for sure I spent on the website) and sell the shoes (for free - on their customer's money). This is FRAUD! I contacted the customer service but they said they can't do anything since it already refund to my site credit, which I don't even want to purchase ANYTHING on this site ANYMORE...
I discovered Tradesy some years ago and have been hooked every since. I'm able to get some of the top name brands around for a fraction of the price. I feel like a Queen the way i'm able to pamper myself, just knowing i'm wearing top of the line. They have always responded and provided me with excellent customer service, credits and refunds. I can't speak for other people, but my experience has been great. I will continue to do business on this site... Or maybe slow down some! LOL
Tradesy makes it easy to buy and sell items. The shipping is a breeze! I also like that it posts whether or not an item is returnable on the description page.
The shopping experience with Tradesy as a website was great. However, my experience with the seller was not as great.
Highly, highly recommend Tradesy.
The store's response is quick and polite. I was able to trade with confidence.
I love coming to this site There are so many beautiful items. I always overspend, but I feel I will not regret it.
First item bought in mid-November for a Nov. 28 birthday, $500. Seller emailed me on Nov 27 to say they had received the order and they would ship out that week. Received item days after promised delivery date. Bag was misrepresented as a laptop bag with certain dimensions. Dimensions were not accurate and bag was too small to fit a laptop. Returned the item only to find out that the return policy is for site credit only! So found a $2000+ bag, but this time my first time buyer discount was not accepted because I used it on the misrepresented bag. All very sketchy. Now a month later I have still not received the second bag and they don't know when it will arrive. Since I have to be home to sign for it this is a big problem. Oh and the fact that my wife still has no birthday gift. These people are terrible at what they do and their customer service is as bad as I have ever experienced. If you give them your money and don't get it back it is your fault for not listening to this warning.
Dont buy on tradsey dont believe they authenticate their items best to buy from legit sites they give you 4 days to return my husband was new to sire bought me a purse for my bday so he went over the 4 day window. Its a disgrace
Bag was shipped like it was a dish rag, the box was unlined, no dust bag or cover on purse. Just bent up and thrown in a U.S. postal service priority shipping box. These bags cost way 2 much 4 that. It was purchased through tradesy but the seller was IC
This is the most Fabulous way to make your designer dreams come true! The bags are beautiful and there is a huge variety of selections. I guarantee you will find the little gem of your dreams!
Ive read several reviews and it seems to have a common theme.
1. Im not certain that all these people are actually real
2. And if they are real, its interesting how most positive reviews come from buyers. Its also interesting their reviews are based on three or four purchases; however, Ive now sold hundreds of items and I can tell you that in the aggregate they dont have such a great business model. With the way they treat Sellers, Tradesys business model is unsustainable - sellers will not be provide items knowing how terrible the customer service is towards them.
Why are you investing? Heres my 12th complaint written today:
Once again I am writing as a disgruntled seller - with increasingly notable incidents of frustration. Im so offended and disgusted by the number of wrong-doings, that I have been pushed to complain and report Tradesy publicly to the media and investors. Not only is the customer service horrendous and basically invisible, they also have little to low communication competency (for a company that has raised millions). Today, Ive lost a deal due to the lack of seller awareness, poor communications, etc.
Im not sure if youre in the business to make money or anger your audience, but there is a common issue with revolving communication/customer service and decorum.
While attempting to liaise a relationship between myself and an international buyer, an inept customer service representative(s) failed to return my many attempts of contact re: request for additional pictures needed. In fact, today alone Ive waited 20 min plus to speak with someone and have never received call backs for my place in line. My buyer is no longer interested in my bag because Tradesy indicated that they could not prove authenticity; thus, implying that my bag is unauthentic.
Several issues here... Tradesy is defaming my brand because of thier negligence and poor wording. They provide little to no opportunity to provide what was requested of me - Why would a representative not contact me proactively and or reactively? Furthermore, your commission rates have substantially increased and the service has DECREASED consistently. There is no exposure to management, and Tradesy has become an advocate of the buyer, neglecting that the seller is a big part of their business. With all this being said, the tremendous increase in commissions portray Tradsey as thieves and unempathetic.
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.
