I assume this happens to you too. I go on to Tradesy and it starts to go down a list of my items that have been there for awhile, telling me how if I lower my price, considerably, it will sell 3x faster! Sure would. If I have an 18kt gold and jade vintage bracelet and lower my price to 21.50, yeah, it would. Or if I cut my prices are on more pedestrian items by 50-80% sure it would. But then, that would be a going out of business sale at a tremendous loss. So, uh, no. I think I won't.
Tradesy is joining eBay in the race to the bottom. I don't like this new concept very much. Tradesy was better when it was going after buyers with a different mentality than eBay.

It doesnt bother me actually. I go through the list and make the changes I want to make. Last time I did it was when I sold 3 things in 24 hours. But I understand why it would be annoying.

I just got a note like that on a consignment item that they did a very poor job presenting - 'no measurements available' - I don't want it back so I slashed it. The other messages are for things that have really but up there long enough that I don't mind cutting the prices. I won't do it on new stuff.
BTW, if you have a featured item in your closet that sells on eBay or wherever, check that when you delete it you delete it for both featured and regular sections. I had to cancel an order because it sold, DESPITE my deleting it from the category. I went back and there it was, featured. Kind of like their .gif shipping labels that no one can scan, it's bad coding.

I had that pop up the other day. Some of the things I marked down because there was still some price wiggle room left, but on others I was like, "Oh he!! NO! What are you smokin?" and left those at my price. I sold 2 things in one day after I did that. Usually it's one sale a month.

Did you sell the ones you marked down when you sold the 2 in one day, or other ones? The disparity between their suggested price and my price was very great. The worst--they thought I should sell my 18kt gold and jade vintage bracelet for 20-something dollars. Uh, no...it's up for like 400-500. |

Some of their "suggestions" were really stupid. They wanted me to lower the price on something I had up for $40 or so to $6!! Uh, NO!! But other things they suggested lowering only $1 or $2 which I did because I used their suggestions in the first place even though they seemed high to me. None of the items I lowered the price on were the ones that sold, but it seemed to shake things loose a bit. I had more followers after that too. I hadn't gained any followers for months.

Although some of their suggested prices are ridiculous, I quite like the way this price drop is set up. Sure, I'd actually like to drop the price on that stale skirt by $5, why not  It's been listed on ebay for even less anyway for ages. |

I've noticed recently that about half the time on my new listings, Tradesy doesn't give suggested prices. And when they do it's a lot lower than it used to be.

I noticed that as well, sunset. Wonder if it's brand-specific?
