The person who responded to both of these used exact same sentence, about asking if they were still available and gave his gmail address. Its just frustrating! And on a Sunday, today on a holiday weekend????? Absurd right. If you can deal with them then you will sell if not dont try to sell on Poshmark you will not make it at all. But its over. I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. The bag is 100% authentic. Its insane, now that they have grown there needs to be rules for top rated sellers. Poshmark is the world's number one reselling app for apparel and accessories - putting it's user-base at upwards of 60 million. Im going to carefully look at their closet and if its crap, I wont sell to them. I am shocked at the time women are willing to sacrifice for this one singular objective. Ha! I buy on eBay like crazy and have never ever had a problem like this. Got to a hand it to her you cant take pictures of an odor. Through a lot of research, I found out that the seller, who had a decent rating, was something of a fake because he was on his third (at least) name and actually had a bad reputation. Omg somebody did the same history to me!!! If so, they will open up a case. Unless you can actually make it your full time job, its best to just sell your clothes in person or by mail and be happy with whatever you receive. And she is, of course entitled to her feelings, opinions and thoughts in regards to Posh. I wish the authenticators on PM knew how to authenticate!! I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Needless to say, Im flabbergasted, disgusted and completely in shock that Poshmark would side with a new buyer/Posher who has 0 listings, no info, etc. I shouldve known my selling strategies & get to know the app well. My goal was to sell, unfortunately I shop. I have had a bag removed from my closet because someone decided it was fake and reported it . I sold authentic items, described them well, photographed them well, especially noted any items with damage/wear. This morning i get an email from them telling me my bag is not authentic and my account has been suspended. Wow. Also if you go on youtube there are tons of videos on reselling, online business, etc. I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! I had listed a brand new with tags NFL brand ladies shirt, which was purchased as part of a bundle of 4 total items. Launched in 2011, it's been around for more than 10 years, which means it's well-established and has policies in place to protect everyone who uses its platform. eek..i have only bought things on Posh and I have only bought things that I absolutely recognized as authentic from web sites, catalogs or stores. PoshMark has something for everyone. I have like 450,000 followers on Poshmark but I really want to transition into my own store online. Kids! Can you make anything out of all this?? I wrote out almost 2000 labels on Etsy by hand. I wish all of you luck in your life and i hope those haters that are reading this stop the games on Poshmark. I was actually thinking of returning to poshmark just to clean out my closets and hope to make a little money but after reading this post the memories of my past experiences all came back to me. She claimed it arrived with holes in it. It has left me mortified that trolls like this exist on this site and poshmark does nothing. What bank gives you that much interest on your money. Seriously, these people except garage sale prices with high end department store quality. Where is the merchandise coming from? I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. We will not be restoring your account as we require users to follow our returns guideline. Most Posh sellers will tell others that the first thing that they do in the morning is share their Listings. It never appears to stop any actual knock off actors. Then there are the pervert trolls. In the end its the WORK! That would leave me with 2.50 not enough to buy the tape to close your box, lady! or Posh will flag you and shut you down. I had the same issue. I have sold over 60 items. Im no longer involved in e-commerce, but I just wanted to wish you success with the book. Yeap. Its the same with every selling site , so if you want to sell online its just something a seller will have to put up with and take their losses if they are making some decent money in general . Sad. Well then she changed her story and only asked a store 7 hours away how to tell if a bag is a replica. Ebay on the other hand is more customer base than seller base. Turnoff/Bad. It looks like they just bumped the shipping to $6.95. I recently sold a Chloe Marcie Bag and after I sold it, it got shipped to them to authenticate. We should be honoring each other and not be deragatory we get enough of that!!! They would rather you contact them via a listing than rate them bad so everyone can see it. Hate the damn things. You have given me more to think about! I want my buyers to love what they get. Also, the seller seemed shocked and said shed get back with me. (LogOut/ I closed my account, that had perfect feedback, and posted all my items to Ebay. So I never used the app again. I feel trapped! How do you get traffic and also how do you get followers? Thank you for sharing your post with the world! I just found Mercari to be too much of a hassle. ~Peace and Purple rain, friend~. Going to the beach soon. That said, Im sure a class-action lawsuit for sellers interested in legal recourse would change Poshmarks tune becauseas Ive read in all these commentsthis is completely unacceptable and out and out THEFT. I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. As it's only been just gently worn, you're figuring you can probably net at least 80.00 for it, give or take. I actually tried Mercari for a while but all I got were seriously lowball offers on all my stuff (like $3.00 lowballs). I bought a pair of CL so Kate 120m asked the seller normal questions but one shoe in the picture looked bigger so I further inquired and the seller said oh its probably just the angle so I offered 3 x before she finally accepted and then I get them and it took a few strolls around my living room to realize that these heel heights were not the same !!! Have my own closet now for about 3 weeks, so I am brand-new and havent made a sale yet. designer vs non-designer, hip/cool stuff vs regular stuff, vintage vs contemporary). Heres the best part , I received the dress back with a run (like in a stocking) a snag in the dress an it was loaded with perfume, an you could tell it was ironed an worn !!!! In the 4th month I hear back from Posh stating because they believe the sunglasses were fake they cant help me. I sell on Posh and have been pleased with things so far, but I am waiting with dread for the first bad buyer. But yeah I find it so unprofessional and unethical that Im considering just quitting. It just reinforced my decision to NOT start poshmark at all. I dont have time for this stupid back and forth game people play on poshmark with that ridiculous offer button so I just declined the offer and she went nuts! Although when I replied I didnt contact them though customer service email, there is a drop down on the sales page that allows you to access the original case and the email goes to the investigator. I had someone buy a top from me, and i told them i would not be able to ship for a week because I was about to go on vacation. I could not agree with you more!!! I got a lowball offer, counter offered, but the buy stood firm to her low offer so no sale. And that lowball offers were rude and to just go away. as far as the Posh parties I do not engage in them. I want to expand my clients so I tried poshmark. This is just one example of the countless jabs we get as sellers on Posh. Thank you so much Sydney! (Rosegal etc trust me h know how those sites are) tell them to Google the damn garnets those sites are ripping pics off and what you actually get when they come in. This delays my shipping time. Is there any advice for sales to new members on PM? I havent been on Posh very long, only sold 13 items. I just think the market is so saturated that its super hard to get a sale! I accepted a real lowball offer for the item in the first place, but I couldnt believe it was happening to me! All my PoshMark items are on a clothing rack with a large linen tablecloth covering them to keep dust off. As for me, Etsy became too social media forward and very time consuming, so Ill stick with Ebay for now. I dont mind if she changed her mind, gave it away, etc But nothing. So I said in my listing, fits like a medium. Oh and I also gave the buyer as a gift, a cute little Packers mini piggy bank AND a small lot of other Packers items I had for sale that she admired. I ask for a supervisor to email me or for them to give me a corporate number and I get a lengthier email from Posh threatening to shut my account for selling fakes. Tradesy sets limits on offers, so you never have to worry about lowballers. Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. The BBB is of no use because people pay for memberships to the BBB and it is a seller not a consumer based system. I complained to Poshmark and they sided with her. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. I have 73k followers and Im a Suggested User. I dont really have a way of proving it except with my record of sales and not having any problems. Everybody has their own superstition. Also, really hard to spot bad buyers as sellers cannot leave negative feedback (we used to be able to in the early days)! Y agree. So much has not changed. Declining a Poshmark offer first thing is not a good idea in my opinion, whether you're a buyer or a seller. From page 14. While I did enjoy the social aspect of meeting some really great people on Poshmark, the amount of time I was spending on the app was ridiculous. At first it was slow but made $500 in June.. No problems & 5 stars on all buys. I dont defend the behavior whatsoever,by anybody. Poshmark reports more than 80 million users, with five million of those being sellers. Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. I had a lot of my Poshmark items listed on eBay as well, and my Shopify store had an import from eBay function, which made it easier. I am now waiting for a response as to whos responsible for the return of my ORIGINAL bag as I will NOT accept a bag that isnt mine or intentional damage to my bag because the buyer changed her mind. Think of Poshmark as something like Material Wrld, except that instead of selling women's clothing to a company, you're in control of your listings. You can choose to unblock someone at any time. Thats ridiculous! She was told that she had to pay $20 via Paypal and it would be returned. Its really massively time consuming for a very low return. When they do send a question, I respond quickly and thoroughly, and I dont feel as if Ive wasted my time if they dont end up buying. At worst, your account could be banned permanently and you won't be able to sell anything on Poshmark . I feel like there is nothing to stop a buyer from damaging an item and claiming the item is not as described. I get it in the mail and the leather feels light. I guess no sales platform is perfect. I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! Poshmark paid me for the purse even though I had it and said they would take appropriate action with regard to the buyer. Ive been doing okay overall It hasnt caused me to throw the towel in just yet but it was definitely better than Ebay . Cant afford new stuff like MK bags and such, but would love to get them for below $100. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. I have been on Poshmark since 2014, and in the last year Ive really been able to sell items. How low class. Hi Liz! I turned the entire page and listings into posh so hopefully they will just terminate the account. I videotaped myself opening the box and sent it to them. The sale frequently gets canceled. Im now balancing poshmark, other platforms & starting my own site. Wowthat was my very first sale. They have very poor business practices to say the least. The very first item I ever put up, a $35 faux leather jacket I had worn 3 times from Arizona Jeans Co. I think I am going to dump the app after my last sale gets delivered. Thanks for the comment Angelica! This post is a real eye opener and should be shared as a fair warning to all. I wrote back to Marisa and copied and pasted the article then I concluded with do you really want me to sue you over $24.17. Change). Not strictly a safe assumption. And they do have a bad reputation for customer service. Caitlin, I appreciate your feedback! Theres a lot of room for improvement. You dont realize how much time youre committing to this platform until you stop. For everything else, I use resale stores like Beacons Closet, Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads. To report a user: Go to the user's closet. When the buyer received the item, they opened a case and claimed that there was loose stitching. Especially when the buyer purposely ruins an item and Posh rules in their favor. The bag is 100% authentic and I have a receipt. I sent them like 10 messages telling them that its ridiculous that I cant speak to someone. It was $10. I hover around 50 or so listings, so not a huge closet, but its nice to make a few dollars here and there. This is all bogus I had an excellent reputation on Poshmark almost a 5 rating never had replicas? I am currently on Poshmarkbut have a hard time dealing with their promos. Every single one of my sales (I have 186 listings) has received 4 and 5 stars (only 2 received 4 stars and Im assuming because the itemsboth of which were brand-new and never wornsimply didnt fit) and rave reviews/comments/love notes. I ship from a smoke/pet/odor free home, wrap items in tissue and include a handwritten thank you card in clean packaging. I have a small handful of relatively new Free People items that I decided to sell and posted on Mercari and eBay. Its really gotten bad lately with 2 cases opened and 2 lost packages in the last 10 days. NOT GOOD. So she makes her accusation and I respond saying I packaged it and even sent her the receipt. I do not care for bartering over my items. And they are wicked. Poshmark is so fortunate to have this base. I am trying to figure the best venue for resale. I am tired of the bad reviews and the complaints have nothing to do with my item. high fees and noone is serious. This is where the problem comes in I have been waiting on a direct deposit since Dec. 3rd, I also have an order that hasnt been fulfilled! Best of luck and keep me posted! Im @relovestyle (come say hi) and I will NOT be leaving Posh anytime soon. Thank you for this post and saving me the time and aggravation of going through it all over again. An older women and didnt realize makeup is duplicated. The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. Its been way more time and pain in the rear then what I have gotten back. So after about 5 emails that took a month to get an actual response, I was told that I hadnt removed the listing explaining how to spot a scammer. Just seems like so much work but but payoff is so minimal in both cases. I had received an email from Poshmark stating that a case had been opened because the buyer stated that an item was "broken, damaged or stained.". After finding this blog, and following this comment section, I was inspired to create Beyond Poshmark: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, If youd like some support, or are looking for alternative selling ideas, please check it out . A second option of any item under 3lbs should be available . People have commented how cute their packages are when they arrive. In 2-and-a-half months, Borovic has sold 100 items and made a total of $1,202. Im also seeing what youre stating. People on this site are crazy Ive seen it for 6 years!! That is steep. The time is waaaay too much unless you are a high school student. Which is sure to effect sales. Either way, she took away all my desire to sell on Poshmark. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! Here I am really depending on this income and once again its gone. Decent customer service is a key factor no matter if you are a Buyer or a Seller. What I mean by that is often time ebay will take the side of the customers over the sellers. (two and a half weeks later, still no response from Seller) So not sure if its their revenge on me? Oh and I too found a LOT of creepy fetish guys on there preying on sellers also nothing done by Posh. Tradesy takes up to 2 weeks to release your fund and transfer to your bank. dhampyre @amking45 Bored or something?; Clearly a snide remark? Diana, I did write her a comment and called her out on it. I deleted it. All links mentioned can be found here:https://www.erikaslinks.com/ I hope you enjoyed this video and/or found it useful! I ship the same day and love that all I have to do is print out a label and take it to my mailbox. I am new to Poshmark, buyer only, no plans to sell, and went a little crazy picking up quality items for work. Im pretty much over Poshmark myself. I must admit I dont spend a ton of time on it. A few days later, I get an email from the buyer saying whats this? And there were no rip or hgaing threads on this suit- i would have know, So basically this is when i googled the apps and found out about scams, She bought it to wear for the weekend or just decided it didnt fit and PURPOSELY popped the stitching on it!! If I have all 5 star reviews the past 4 years and someone complains that should be looked at. but maybe Im wrong. They have NO respect for the sellers, I just got a girl saying I listed shoes at wrong size funny because I just found the order receipt from Macys that states the size!!! At that point you have to provide a receipt or COA, and wait. @splinkink Im so sorry you are having to go through this. She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. Is this normal? My listings are clear and my integrity is high. Reading this helped me so much. Thanks for sharing new ideas. I found this Must Read article on Forbes . Fantastic article! There are blogs, Instagram pages, and groups on Facebook devoted to beating the system of Poshmarks wicked algorithms. Its a much more sophisticated app than Poshmark with a higher level of customer service. Its not worth all the time Im spending on Poshmark for lowballers and crazy people like her. I finally sent a comment to ask if she could let me know if the top was still available, and that I was worried Posh was going to cancel the sale. On top of Poshmarks commission, I also had a bad experience as a buyer, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Does she have something to hide? Ive had brick and mortar stores in the past and have been selling on eBay for 4 plus years, so Poshmark is my newest addition to my retail experience. Im glad Im not only honest person that was on Poshmark AMD had a crappy experience. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. I do think Poshmark needs fine tuning and as far as i see they are still working on this site to fix the things they are lacking in. Its going to be a big job moving my 250 items from Poshmark to other platform but I cant wait. I have taken allmost all my preowned irems off but i know Ill have problems anyway. Xo. The bad thing about this is the other Poshmark accounts are basically wanting a sell more than wanting to make a purchase. Thanks. I am so frustratedfor $20! 4. I hope you keep us posted on what happens. Because it sold for above $500 it had to be sent first to Poshmark offices for authentication. Want to sell on PoshMark? How they monitor thousands of closets is beyond me. Hi Joi! If you get it sent back video tape the moment you grab the package and open it and see whats in there. Not making much money. My best advice is to list your items on PoshMark and leave the Crushing, sharing listings and Pavlov dogs to someone else and get on with enjoying your life. They brag about entering the closet and making nasty comments and offering 3.00 on every listing. The buyer has no profile or closet. I am looking to get into the job of reselling making something strong. And of course the seller is trying to make there money back off an item they may have paid 200 dollars new and selling used for 80 or 90 dollars, for long time thrift store/second hand/goodwill retail store / yard sell and so on buyers, we know that 80 to 90 dollars is not a true deal on a used item. What about the sellers costs for packaging materials, etc.? Great post! But regardless, the heavy discount, free gift, fast shipping and neat packaging was not enough? I believe sellers remorse was behind the refusal to complete the transaction. The parties. I received a movie in the mail. Ive had another rate me low because she said the pictures made the bag look bigger. Im just getting started with Poshmark and I feel its more of a sellers app then a buyers place. Four times a day for the parties. (Google that too for an eyebrow raising bunch of reading. ) Ialways took great care to make sure every piece I sold on Poshmark was in excellent condition. They always said work it out with the buyer. Happy poshing! I am sincerely hoping that with the recently increased success of the customer service team, that we will be successful in getting our Poshmark back to the way it was meant to be with perhaps some more appropriate commission fees.
