My experience selling items directly on Geartrade has been a pretty good one, quick enough if you sell the item on your own and leave Geartrade out of the process. I decided to try their consignment program to sell a bunch of items, and that was a big mistake. Way too slow even when your gear sells quickly. I had several items sell within a couple of days, but nearly a month later and I still have not been paid for a single item. Very little communication from Geartrade, like pulling teeth. If you're going to use Geartrade to sell items, list it on your own and deal directly with individual buyers.

Some good experiences, some bad. The customer support is frustrating. They don't seem to have visibility or the ability or willingness to contact sellers to work out discrepancies. The site is very glitchy. One price shows in some places, another place shows another. Links lead to unexpected places or do nothing. It works OK enough that I will still use the service but it can be extremely frustrating service if you have any trouble with your order or glitches.

As a seller I am most disappointed with the site. I have had 5 offers on a tent which I accepted but NONE have followed thru with the purchase. Having read complaints here about buying then getting a note the item is not available I am wondering g if this is happening or whether people just can't follow thru.
