Thanks Stacey! I had the worst experience on Poshmark. How they monitor thousands of closets is beyond me. I looked for weeks and saved for weeks because Im a waitress with 2 kids so I dont have 500 dollars to just throw around. Can you not give a bad review to the seller? Thank you for making me feel I was not alone. I felt really and until she started being rude. If you make a reasonable offer, you will likely end up getting what you want. You must be logged in to reply to this topic. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used.

This has really opened my eyes! Feelings have no place. Sold a couple of items and then had the brainstorm HEY! Probably not a bad Seller, but potential, serious Buyers, be aware that this Seller may flippantly cancel your order with no response to cause of cancellation. If I waited to share my items at 5:30 a.m., I missed PoshMarks prime time hour. I hate they have a buyers protection in place and not a sellers protection. So if you are listing for men or children, you must specify in your description or else you can end up eating a $25 shipping cost on a return GUCCI shoes worth $500. 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 !!! There is fraud EVERYWHERE. Im willing to admit I sold a makeup product that was not authentic. I simply do not have time for back and forth offers as I have a child with serious medical issues. So they say, that money could be used to purchase other items!! The could give a flying fig about any seller issues. I had a genuine Chanel listing reported and questioned. Building your own site and getting enough people to buy from you aint free, far from it. They told me to ask the BUYER to change it. Not sure where that came from? 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 tell people to look on line to see if they can buy the BRAND NWT top Im selling that is currently in stores and in style for less? if youre still looking for hot pink pants, come visit my closet. But you have to think about it from a buyers perspective. Anyway I can go on. I just had a customer ask me my lowest and I responded ugh! My account is old as the hills and has done so much worse since the new updates the last two years, in all honesty. The community can also experience the magic that happens when the Posh community sells together. Everything youve said is 100% true!!!! She asked if it was faded.

Step 1, trying to get a tax id number. Who do they restrict? Long story short: someone bought it, said it had snags, took photos and sent to Posh! Did anyone else not know this or am I the only one? Good luck!! I will proceed with caution on Posh.. I was new- i agreed. If you think Poshmark is bad for the seller, its even worse for the buyers! Lowball me all day long. The order was delivered and accepted. The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. Or the folks that give you a 1-star review with no specific reason. I would make most of my sales during the bewitching hour 5:00 a.m. If I shared my items at 4:30 a.m., it was too early in the morning. But I just might. I read with great interest your reasons for leaving Poshmark. You live and learn! 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. So she picked item not as described. I still firmly believe that Poshmark and other reselling apps are viable choices when youre looking to keep things on the green side when you declutter.

That again, will lead to frustration and your eventual early retirement. I totally agree that it is a huge time sucker which I end up neglecting my family for $25.00, does this really makes sense.

I will definitely look into them. They dont charge any fees at all to sell your stuff! Theyve proven their superior negotiating skills a definite power trip in that respect for the low baller in question. A few days later, I get an email from the buyer saying whats this? Posh sided with the buyer and she was authorized to return my rocks. So I am finally at that point. When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. Too many sellers get offended by low offers because they are still attached to their item(s). Ive been bulkied, support is crap, people can not respect its not a garage sale, and I work 20/7 to make sales; huge tine suck. My bank couldnt find the transaction so I had to wait to see where it landed then catch and re-route. The only thing is that people are looking for extremely inexpensive items. I can tell you this: Selling clothes to humans is a pain. Thanks to all for listening and sharing your eye-opening storiesIm sorry for all of us and most certainly will switch to another sales site (or set up my own online store)! I responded to Poshmark yet there was absolutely no support from them at all. I did write her a comment and called her out on it. Example, this one chick offered me $15 on a pair of Tom Ford leather boots in like new condition, ($15 on a pair of $3,400 boots i had priced at a very reasonable $300.) Much to my dismay, they didnt require him to return the item. So, Im done. Thanks Sydney. Hi Rachel. Im glad to hear that it worked out for you though! Im so over it right now.

I have sold a few things that I no longer use and got high ratings, but I always fear that moment when not only do I lose the money I just gained (which is OK for me as long as I get my item back), but also I lose the item itself (cuz of course they have to break it or tear it so that they can do this). Boom, done. Ill counter and play the game. Recently, Im much more inclined to give that a go or even accept a low ball offer. Irene, I would certainly be careful. So Im not inexperienced in customer service or shipping logistics. They waste our time with reporting non-allowed items, which they dont address (please, dont waste our time! 1. Most items are used and need to be appropriately priced. I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive. 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. Lol. If this is what youre mantra-ing to yourself as you sit there with a relatively inactive item and a series of lowball offers, then it is probably you that needs to reassess at that point. (I suppose thats a response I should have expected from a young girl with very little sense of responsibility) When I explained to her that I was unable to leave the rating and feedback before that time due to my busy schedule, she replied with insulting remarks. What I always liked about Etsy is that because it is perceived as e-commerce site vs. a site where you trying to get a price hook up, Etsy customers would not typically ask for any price considerations they just purchase outright. Can you make anything out of all this?? Unfortunately there are sellers who only post stock photos and those who dont like questions. So I resold it on Posh and got rid of it the same night! I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. Im still celebrating sales. Second. .My latest issue is being locked out of my account.

I will not buy from anyone with the chart posted in their ad, or from Poshers that have aggressive language in their listing or closet. She has no listings. This article has convinced me there are better options. 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. Then the ppl who complain about something get their money back and I get my money back but they keep my item so they get it for free Bc customer support is RIDICULOUS! Poshmark is run by tech bros, who have no fashion sense. I found your article and am hoping you might know what can be done.

It was a closet full of nice stuff as well at higher prices. Of the site, she said they didnt break any rules. but maybe Im wrong. Other times, theyre offering all they have. If you stand up for yourself and dont allow them to rip you off, you get indefinitely suspended. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. A buyer should expect questions. I wish the authenticators on PM knew how to authenticate!! ( maybe crammed her fat butt into it and tore it ?) So dont expect to be rich selling on Poshmark.

I know he is doing this to get a refund.he has already opened a case with PayPal and now has been harassing me Poshmark literally tells them what to do to return an item. I never went so far as to create a shouty angry chart that some other sellers post. What I found was constant ranting about cases being opened, lowballs. I think that that goes a long way to saving yourself the time of someone asking you to measure the inseam on a pair of pants or the bust on a top because now youve got to find that item and Ive had Posh sellers telling me that they keep their items in a storage locker or at another location so sometimes its weeks before they get back to me and since Im trying to move product X quickly as possible it was worth my time investment to do things like measure the bust measure the sleeve measure the inseam where possible and because I kept my items super organized I knew where to go get them at a moments notice but for some people thats not possible so if all the information is right there when you first listed no one has to ask you because now you gotta find that item and Ive had posh sellers tell him me that they keep their items in a storage locker or at another location so sometimes its weeks before they get back to me.
