The image on the left is the watch that i had ordered. i had to switch up the images so it makes better sense.

the one i ordered has numbers on the dial, the one i got had crystals. then i returned it back to tradesy and they said "they are as described and authenticated by their third party and it was authentic" anyone with eyes can see that these are not the same watch. now as you can see it is listed in Penny Lane because this is TRADESY's own items listed for sale that people have RETURNED that are NOT authentic. But tradesy refused to give them back money so TRADESY (Penny Lane) in turn re-list's to make a profit off those unauthentic returned items.

Talk about SCAM, FRAUD, and FALSE ADVERTISING! This will be escalated to a court case. I will not let innocent people get taken advantage of from this shrewd and sophisticated company. Damages shall be paid at Tradesy's expense, at an indemnity .

To any of those who have been scammed.

All damages shall be claimed/repaid on a substantial indemnity basis. this is completely UNACCEPTABLE.

I have updated pics of what I was suppose to get on the right and what I got that TRADESY relisted. and then they have the nerve to tell me these two watches were the same, like i am an ***!

The watch i received had crystals on the dial, the one i purchased does not, so clearly its not authentic.

Which of course tradesy said it was authentic. they clearly are clueless as to what is fake and what is authentic.

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE.

A SELLER SOLD ME A WATCH AND WHEN IT ARRIVED IT WAS NOT EVEN THE SAME WATCH, NOR WAS IT AUTHENTIC. I RETURNED IT TO TRADESY AND THEY SAID IT WAS AUTHENTIC AND THE SAME!! I EVEN HAVE PICTURES SHOWING THAT IT IS NOT THE SAME. THEN THEY LISTED THE WATCH ON THEIR OWN SITE AS AUTHENTIC. AND THE PICTURE OF THE WATCH CLEARLY SHOWS IT IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE THE SELLER LISTED.

Then they gave me store credit for this! Unbelievable. I had to tell them that this is fraud and i would hire an attorney, then they finally gave me my money back.

NEXT INCIDENT:

I purchased a $3200 bag. The seller shipped me a BLACK TOWEL. Then Tradesy refused to give me a refund and suspended my account when i have over $1000 funds in the account waiting to be transferred to my personal account. They refused to reinstate my account and said that they need to investigate with UPS. I told them its NOT UPS fault. Then they said they asked the seller and they said they sent a chanel bag, well OF COURSE THEY DID. And of course the seller provided pics of the bag inside the box before she shipped it out, because she knew that she would have problems with this transaction and prepared for it. Then last min switched the bag with a towel. anyone can see that!

NEXT INCIDENT:

They cancelled ALL of my orders in which i ALREADY shipped out. So they STOLE my money and CLOSED my account!!!

Now my account is suspended, i have funds with tradesy, and i can't sell or respond to ANY of my buyers or potential buyers. Nor can i track the purchases i have made.

ERIC T as Tradesy has made this a LIVING NIGHTMARE!!!!

I usually don't go on yelp and write reviews But this time, I am FURIOUS with the way they do business!!!

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $5000.

Tradesy Cons: Scammed me.

Location: Los Angeles, California

They did the same to me I have a very strong feeling the ones who buy from the sellers are actually in cahoots with tradesy , proof !! Tradesy would NEVER believe the seller or listen to them or even look at proof of purchase when item are stolen or replaced , this is a SCAM at all costs stay away from tradesy

I used to be a buyer and seller on this site. I had not sold anything for over a year due to their high selling fees, higher prices which increased with time, as well as the time a seller has to wait for "their money ".

If I had sold a item, i would verify their satisfaction and after 4 days, the return window is closed. Then a seller has to wait 21 days for a PayPal reversal in case the "buyer" files a dispute claim based on the "changed paypal law". I used to purchase items from here and if you decided to return it, they used to give you a site credit if item was as described and you didn't like it no questions asked. During the past year, their return policy must have changed because now in order to return for a site credit, you have to submit pictures of the item to them, in order to get a return ship label.

They don't have a format available online to submit pictures, just like if your selling. So for us "non techies" submitting pictures online to a email is very time consuming and counterproductive ,. I believe they have just made it more difficult to return your unwanted item, just to discourage you to reduce their work, resources losses. Sorry Trad6, you just lost another devout customer, and I will be taking my business elsewhere.

There's other platforms out there now that make the buying/selling process easier and you don't have to "wsut" for your money! Save yourself and your money!

They suspended me too with $600 balance.

Robert P Bmn

I am a seller and they just suspended me and I have thousands of dollar owed by these scam artists.If you read Tradesy terms of service they state "Tradesy are not involved in the transaction" . It also state if the value of goods is over $500 it has to be signed for.In your case the breach is if you did not sign for it the item they have breach their terms of service.

If you want to go after them contact me. Captain Rob Pearcey

Tradesy is not quick to solve an issue. They only care about money.

Their respond time is about 2-3 days depending on what kind of issue it is. If itโ€™s somethings they have owe you money on, 7-10 days easily.

After they received my returned item for a review, they emailed me in 7 days after I had emailed first. ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Did you ever get your. Money ?? Same thing here they owe me $1,900

I've have a similar experience with Tradesy and had purchased what ended up being a very fake Louis Vuitton Rivoli bag. But what I've noticed is that WE ALL HAVE THESE PROBLEMS!!!

The problem isn't us, but the platform.

Let's avoid this place. I just requested access to a private online luxury platform called TheNobo (http://promo.the-nobo.com/thenobo-authentication/), don't know if I'll get accepted but worth a shot!

Guest

LET'S GET A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT GOING AGAINST TRADESY!!! THEY USE THEIR SELLERS THEN DUMP ON THEM.

THEY ARE LIARS. THE THIRD PARTY AUTHENTICATIONS ARE IMPOSTORS.

TRADESY HAS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM INVESTORS! LET'S TAKE THEM TO COURT!

I am a verified seller and buyer on Tradesy. They have managed to get away with their tactics because no one wants to pay attorney fees.

If everybody got together and filed a class action law suit, they would definitely change their practices. While my experiences have not been as horrific as others....I do sympathize. The whole 4 day return window is bull%^$#, them forcing you to have your earnings (if you're a seller) as site credit is a scam, they dont require the sellers to send the items to Tradesy for inspection which makes it easier to get scammed. Plus their sales tax is too high.

As a seller, Tradesy takes 19.8% commission + 2.9% transfer fee. So items are wayyyyy overpriced because sellers are trying to re-coup what they know they're going to lose. I started selling on ebay & mercari because they are a little more...seller friendly. I bought 2 over priced purses, and needless to say i was disappointed as one seller did not disclose the serious details..stay away from the seller "Soloage".

She uses the same generic description for all of her purses. If the purse has been damaged or modified....she will not include it in her description or in the photos. You'll be "unpleasantly" surprised when you open the box. The other purse that i bought was from a different seller who communicates well and took $50.00 off the purchase price.

Very friendly lady....I wish all transactions went that smooth. But her purse was still over priced and she took photos under a very bold bright light....so the leather areas looked really light and the description read gently used. When I got the purse, I was disappointed to see that the leather was much darker than the photo. I just chucked both of my experiences up to a loss and will be purchasing my LV purses from The Real Real or fashionphile.

All you can do is return your item for store credit, its rare that you'll get a cash refund so I didnt even bother to return the items.

Customer service at Tradesy was great, but you have to remember their reps can only do so much. Supervisors give them limited actions.
