“First time buyer wonderful experience”

Brandon S.
8/17/22

We were blown away. My husband and I were looking for my first Chanel bag…found it! Even after ordering the wrong color (user error) within moments we were assured it was no problem. Two days later the bag of my dream bag arrived. Packaged with style as though Coco herself sent me this bag. I'll be checking with you first on all my luxury purchases.

Extremely upset! I purchased two pairs of shoes and both sellers canceled the order stating they no longer had the item. This is the third time that happened to me!

I understand why you don't want items held up in bags where folks don't respect the need to move on, but it's hard to shop seriously when the clock is ticking in the bag for only a few minutes. Maybe I don't know how to use the system most effectively. My luck seems to be that if I'm really interested in something, but still want to shop, other women seem to zone right into my vibe;-) It's happened before where someone snapped it up before I could get back to buy it. Just sayin'... Thanks!

Reason I chose this business:

Past experience, very fair pricing, choice merchandise and extremely pleasant customer service folks when I've had the need to call upon them. It's all good!;-)

As I emailed the seller separately off the confirmation page, THIS IS A FABULOUS HANDBAG THAT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION - PERFECT! - just as described by the seller. Many thanks!

Wanted to confirm that all discounts were applied because, though referenced as 'Site credit,' the dollar amount of this credit was not listed in the line items delineated on the final pricing/post shipping page. Just wanted to be sure the correct final amount was charged to MasterCard. No problem. All is correct.

Reason I chose this business:

Past experience, selection of merchandise and pricing.

Looking for a nice leather purse. Stumbled across Tradesy on Safari. Took a chance. I'm hoping that the bag I've purchased is from a none smoking home. And is clean and gently used. We will see. Thanks

Having never used Tradesy before I was reluctant to give it a try but with a pandemic still looming and seeing too many crowds in stores and not enough masks on shoppers, I decided to take a safer route and order from my computer at home. Everything worked out perfectly! It was easy to place the order, the shoes came in as promised. They were well-packaged and beautiful. I am now a fan of Tradesy and look forward to doing more shopping with them in the future.

I only discovered resale site options when I read an article about growing pains at Realreal and then Tradesy came up on a list of competitors. Time-consuming but entertaining to have so many items to look at, need to take a little risk without being able to try things on, but my first try was a the most fun dress I've ever owned. Only complaint, I got an email offering $50 off my first purchase AFTER it was on it's way, so I'm not sure if I'll get to use it.

Reason I chose this business:

Just needed a special dress and there's no where to shop.

Reason I chose this product:

Took a risk that it would fit and look as imagined from the photo as it was at a price I could afford to lose, the return for credit didn't really encourage me to try more expensive choices.

Excellent site! Super easy to navigate the site and search for specific items. Had a question for buyer, responded in less than 10 minutes. Friendly, professional and exceptional range of unique items at relatively reasonable prices.

Purchased an item from La Dolce Vitae, excellent service, arrived in 2 days, exactly as pictured in very good condition. Also, very quick response from this seller to a question I posted - great seller and will purchase again - thank you.

Reason I chose this business:

Came upon the site by accident - searching for a gift no longer available for purchase in the store. While I did not locate the exact item, I was fortunate to locate a similar item at reasonable cost

Wish the sellers would provide more details of items for sale as some listings are bare minimum. Some sellers seem more conscientious about this than others. I dislike having to interrupt my flow to request more info so will tend to skip items that might have otherwise interested me.
Completing the purchase was relatively simple, quick and frustration free. Appreciated being able to check out as guest without being forced to set up an account/log in, etc. Might do so later when I have time or if I decide to purchase again from Tradesy, depending on my satisfaction with this (my first) purchase.

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking for a specific style and size of (vintage type) purse and found the closest approximation offered on Tradesy

I stumbled across Tradesy and bought two YSL bags. I had subterranean expectations, but I took the chance since Tradesy gives a site credit. Both looked better than their photos. Then, I purchased a Gucci Britt, which is the type of bag that I always take with me when I travel, so I love it. There was a hundred dollar coupon, and the bag was described as gently used. I have yet to find any evidence of wear on the bag-it is impeccable.

I was very suspicious of Tradesy at first, because it essentially seems to be Poshmark for designer goods. But all the reviews said it was legit and I could not find the item anywhere else. I took a chance and when I received my purchase it was perfect! Exactly as described and definitely authentic. I'm very happy I did it!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Tradesy because it was the only place I could find the item I was looking for. It was discontinued several years ago so I couldn't buy it new, and I had yet to find it on a secondhand luxury reseller site (Real Real, Fashionphile, etc).

Reason I chose this product:

I chose the product because it was a pair of shoes I had wanted for several years that had been discontinued, and this was the first time I had seen a pair for sale that were my size and in perfect, brand new condition!

This is one of my favorite dresses. Having worked in fashion I refuse to pay full price for seasonal wear that changes from Spring/Summer Autumn/Winter and cruise. I got this Jay Godfrey dress in red for $30 and I love it. When I found it in a smaller more fitting size and black, I've kept my eye on it.

The dress is perfect, fits beautifully! Though I think the value isn't the price I paid, it is still a good deal for one of my favorites.

The Nice BB is beautiful. Here are a couple of things that bother me about Tradesy…I don't like that sellers don't have customer reviews, the seller says it shipped from Houston, TX, but it came from China, and ALL luxury items should be authenticated by Tradesy. I know that they guarantee it, but you are looking at spending more money for your own Authenticator to look at the piece, or you're shipping it off again to Tradesy. I am very happy with my LV Nice BB. It came beautifully packaged.

I've been looking at these sandals for quite some time but was not ready to pull the plug as I read several reviews about the straps being too tight and the sizing small. Normally I wear 38 in all of my YSL shoes but I decided to order 1/2 a size up and they fit like a glove! I have a pretty narrow foot so the straps don't bother me at all and I always wear high heels therefore these are comfortable for me and my style. I can't wait to wear them out!

Reason I chose this business:

Best deal plus I had Tradesy credit from a previous purchase.

Reason I chose this product:

Been looking at these sandals for a year now

I had been given a pair of these shoes but they were too small, I absolutely loved them so I began my search and found the exact pair in better shape and packed to perfection with cute Halloween string tied around the tissue paper. These pythons were shipped in style. Love the way this seller does business. Hand-written note along with a cute thank you card on the inside. Keep it up Sitejabber you are winning!

It took me just a few days short of month to receive my order. I purchased it with enough time to deliver it as a gift and I was not able to do so. The seller shipped the item to tradesy they then held the item while myself had to initiate contact with both parties to figure out what was going on. The tracking number they send you is useless because there is no movement. I am really not interested in purchasing or referring Tradesy.

Hi Ann,

We recently received your feedback and wanted to follow up with you! We're so incredibly sorry to hear about the 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 order, we're so sorry for the delay here! I can see that you had purchased from eLady, one of our close partner-sellers! Typically, eLady will send buyer orders directly to Tradesy. Once we receive it, our team will automatically re-route it directly to you. I will be sure to provide the feedback of being more communicative to my team, in hopes that this will help us grow in the right direction!

Again, we're so sorry for the delay and inconvenience this has caused. 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!

Shoes arrived DAYS earlier than expected! Shoes are in perfect condition and fit like a glove! I could not find these shoes on retail websites that typically would and was anxious about ordering through a website I was not familiar with. Must say it was worth the gamble! Extremely pleased with how the shoes look and feel; no scuffs & all the original stickers are still attached. Thank you so much for helping me find my favorite shoes for the summer!

Q&A (103)

Question:

What is the fee schedule for seller's selling on tradesy?

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!

Question:

Are their products authentic?

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.

Question:

Has anyone sold or bought on tradesy? thanks

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.

Question:

Is it true that if i were to sell an item i have to wait to get my money to see if the buyer is happy with purchase! sounds worse than ebay!

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!

Question:

I want to purchase a michele watch head and i am hesitant after reading reviews

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

Question:

Is there any way to get feedback of a particular seller on tradesy like they do on ebay? i can't find anything on the website. i purchased a $400.00 bag and have not heard anything from the seller. i checked her sold items and she sold about 6 of the same bag with the same photos. getting nervous about this. i'd like to see if others have had problems this particular seller.

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.

By Jen A.
Question:

I have called and emailed several times regarding an item that came to me broken and fake! i never got 1 phone call in 2 weeks. do you really have customer service people who speak with customers bc i never had that experience. i kept getting emails from camille who ignored every question i asked, which only upset me more. no one likes to get ignored, especially when spending a thousand $$$$

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.

Question:

I was thinking about selling a few things on tradesy, but with all the warnings, i'm not so sure anymore. has things improved for sellers?

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!
