Tradesy: The Overview

Tradsey’s site is heavy on authentic, high-end handbags and accessories. Just check the featured brands, and you’ll see names like Gucci, Chanel, Louboutin, Prada, Hermes, and Valentino. There’s an entire wedding section as well, so they’re not messing around. You won’t find deep discounts, which definitely benefits sellers, so it’s the kind of place to sell Gucci sunglasses new with tags for $100 off; or a pair of never-worn $1200 Valentino lace-up boots with some minor scuffs for $658.

Note that clothing doesn’t sell quite as well here as accessories, but if you can manage to move some high-end items, it’s still a pretty good deal for the seller.

To consign here, just go through your closet and snap pictures of the items you want to sell — anything “from Zara to Chanel” — and send them to Tradsey. Their team will enhance the photos and help you with pricing, if you need it.

When the item sells, they’ll send you a shipping kit complete with a lovely box, prepaid label, and garment bag (if that applies) so you can mail your items to the buyer with very little hassle. It also provides a more consistent, high-end feel to the shopping experience than just dumping stuff in a padded envelope.

Great find: Christian Louboutin black leather d’orsay st honore 70 mesh pumps, $431 (retail $995)

Every item is authenticated by Tradesy, with a 100% money-back guarantee. So if you’re selling a luxury brand, they require you to ship it to them first so they can take a look.

Tradesy: The Nitty Gritty

Sweet finds: Louboutin black strappy wedge pumps $265; Chanel black matelasse wallet for $499.50; black lace Diane von Furstenberg jumpsuit for $349; black studded Gucci boots for $209; Rag & Bone silk dress for $75.

Site Commission: Tradesy takes 14.9% on every purchase. If you want your money in cash, rather than store credit, you pay an additional 2.9% transfer fee to receive the money via PayPal.

If your items don’t sell: Your items stay with you until they sell, so you can just donate them or re-list them somewhere else if they don’t sell.

Who it’s best for: People with high-end accessories, shoes, or bags who are willing to trade some of their profits in exchange for convenience, great customer service, and designer authentication.
