Last week, I sold a Coach bag in great condition other than a blob of clear nail polish that had dried on the interior zip pocket and slight wear on the embroidered CsBOTH of which were pictured and mentioned in the description. Ive been on here for 5 years. By and large I have been very impressed with the sellers. Then you have to wait 3 days for your funds to be released. ugggg. I have been an occasional Poshmark shopper (I shop ALL over online, wherever I find what I want at a fair price and I never lowball anyone). My advice would be just to cut your losses with this buyer and block him from ever buying from you in the future. Apparently these people are only willing to pay $5 for ANYTHING in your closet, whether its an authentic hard-to-find Coach bag or a vintage Versace dress. My listings are clear and my integrity is high. otherwise its just wasting space i your closet I love PM, but have to laugh at some of the overpriced items!!! It was bizarre bc she kept writing to me..?! I bought a pair of shoes. Long story short: someone bought it, said it had snags, took photos and sent to Posh! Whats the name of your store? I appreciate your ideas and will look into it, This has helped me process what I want to do as a reseller since everyones posts have been helpful since I started selling PM in Jan 2017. I grew my closet, made many sales, became a suggested user with a 5 star rating. Why not just answer? You have to create a profile. You can simply list your items in POSHLAND and nobody will ever bother you again. Its not what you make (Gross), its what You Keep (Net). So I am officially done, it is no longer worth the time, risk, and effort. Its just frustrating. #2 Im not on there as a hobby, Im trying to make rent & liquidating NEW mostly NWT items ( i got wholesale- i work in apparel) and yes sometimes my personal buys but those are also either NWT or EUC that are I list much lower than I should and more importantly #3- ITS MY BUSINESS both on a personal and business level- my pricing is my prerogative and she doesnt need to by from me ( no to mention the items I list high are rare and highly desired.. like a baseball card or any other collector item do i have to sell it for $5 bc I bought it for $4? My honest opinion on PM: It is great for someone like me I am a graduate student who likes to shop. Thanks for your help. Its not as social as Posh and people cant comment under items (dm only), so you dont feel like you have to be there:) Mercari is also quicker to respond when there is a problem. Tap the flag icon below the comment and select the reason (spam, transaction off Poshmark, offensive comment, or harassment). I dont have time for social selling. So excited! I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. 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. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. I sent a complaint to poshmark service, but we all know how that goes. I asked poshmark to take a look at them, and protect their sellers more. SMH . My pictures from before I sent the items dont reflect this any damage, and it took the girl 48 hours to decline the purchase. 90% of them post one little photo of a piece of clothing, just the top usually, NO OTHER PHOTOS, no measurements, no condition information. Trying to figure out all the steps I need to take. I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! Kaitlyn I am so sorry for you. Wowthis is interesting listening to everyones experience. They shut my closet down Black Friday for a week. Thanks. I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. I know theyll be appreciated and, as a buyer, Ive just learned to be more discriminating. That was my ridiculous newbie mistake. Now, exactly a week after, I received an email from PM saying that after they have reviewed the case and photos submitted by the buyer, they have decided to deny the return request. Iv got names. Thank for your comment Maggie. And I had no recourse at that point. Poshmark will sink or swim on this crap. Also there are so many in person places to sell like let it go on top of the usual. What about Amazon.com? On the up side all have had a ton of nice people and buyers.. Im on the fence. I was honest in my review and stated that the dress was beautiful, but that the description was lacking details that were important to a buyer and I explained in detail what I saw upon receiving the dress. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. My eyes and head ache from being on my phone all day trying to follow, comment, share etcI have 2 young kids. Poshmark to me has the worst lowballers, some of the offers are beyond absurd. Time to quit I think. If I get banned because of this comment. 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. I do not want to have my items listed on any venue that will not protect its sellers. I mostly stick to eBay these days. Ive been toying with the idea of starting my own website, Im just not sure Im there yet. NO sellers response to feedback anymore. I know I probably should have just canceled the order but I figure everyone starts somewhere. 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. If the scammers are not monitored by the platform we are selling on, then small online shops are not going to able to have success and the platforms will eventually suffer. My 5th sale was shipped within 12 hours and this was a brand new pair of Electric Yoga leggings that were ordered online. Time will put this poorly conceived and terribly run business in its proper place. After 2 1/2 years and 60,000 followers later, I too am jumping ship (though will keep my closet open for as long as possible to advertise my Etsy handcrafts). Well I replied saying that I had no objection to her getting the refund on that shirt only, since I did not list the actual measurements, which I should have. If you dont mind me asking, how did you get your traffic back to your site? Secondly I sold a pair of knit boots for very cheap because they were not ugg just a cheap look a like and made sure to list that in description due to the fact that they were listed under ugg for exposure. I had listed a brand new with tags NFL brand ladies shirt, which was purchased as part of a bundle of 4 total items. On one wholesale portal I think it was the bullet necklaces, they give so much to charity I suggested Posh give the 20% they make off each sale to said charity! I feel stuck. I dont care if my buyer gets her money back, but not sure how PM does that with a bundle, if they have to return the whole bundle or not. Or a new platform to use? Bethany I agree with you. So, putting it up to silver, it definitely wasnt silver and putting it next to something real gold, it wasnt quite that either. They emailed him back directing him to the app step by step how to start a claim process. But letting one customer make a potentially large financial decision for you is unwise. How do you get the traffic and the customers? I always wonder where people get the time to have 1 million shares. But started selling upper end vintage and luxury labels on eBay in the late 90s selling to a variety of people but also designers and once in awhile a celebrity. I shouldve known my selling strategies & get to know the app well. She has them numerous emails with all relevant details and it has met with no response. Your stuff looks real nice. So.. she seems to be a bit of a problem. A majority are on here to make a few bucks, etc. Run your closet how you want OP 19 Reply YouKnowHowChoicesBe 5 yr. ago I just started selling on Poshmark and sold one item thus far. I was PISSED! They seem to take a quicker notice when you go to a third party for help! Since then, I have SO many new followers everyday. They just said sorry the buyer has been refunded. End of story. I told her when spending that kind of money, you have to be careful. Okay, brace yourselves, women! I havent had any major complaints, I do research the buyer or seller before doing any business with them.I have also tried Depop, but still fairly new there. I received an email stating it was removed because it was counterfeit! I wonder is it worth it? I looked into PM last week and decided it was like a high school clique I never wanted to be part of. Now just waiting on Poshmark to decide on the case. I am wondering if all the time I spent staging, writing accurate descriptions was worth it. I learned this my first month and never turned back. We are the ones that helped you grow. Thanks for your article. Good idea, I was actually going to record opening the box just so there would be some sort of proof. I believe many of these problems could be fixed with genuine concern in the form of superior customer service. In my experience it is the cost that counts. (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. But from the looks of it he has removed a portion of the product and I have no way of knowing what I would be getting in return! Yeap. Well, when Poshmark realized that I wasnt a patsy that could be ripped of, they suspended my account. Only to get a no reply email from Poshmark that my jacket was a counterfeit, and the listing taken down. Additionally, eBay runs right around 20% too, when you add up the cost of a store (I have anchor which is 300 a month), final value fees, and Paypal fees. Its for teenage girls looking to get $2 gap shirts New With Tags. So far from the truth. I was so shocked when I received an email that my item was being returned because it was not as described in the listing. The young lady said there were teeny tiny black dots on the upper sleeve, which I knew right then and there I was being scammed. This is all bogus I had an excellent reputation on Poshmark almost a 5 rating never had replicas? She charged me 250 .I get the wig and its horrible,there are threads hanging out of it,its just not what the picture that I ordered looked like. My new thing due to scammy people- I video tape with the label as I package it- take pics as well incase someone wants to try to say otherwise condition!! Ive made some sales, but they have been pretty hard-won. Then there are the pervert trolls. First it blows my mind that people will pay for designer dusty bags and empty shoe boxes but hey, that thats just me. 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. that I shop at sample/warehouse sales. In my 3rd purchase attempt, the seller cancelled the transaction without letting me know. My attempts at eBay, Vinted, Mercari and Im sure one or two others were a no-go for me so Tradesy and Poshmark have been my staples for a year now. On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! Irene and Cole, Ive even started listing clothes and sold one of those items. When this item left my possession, these were brand leggings with no flaws, I just took them out of the bag for goodness sake! Not California!! The worst for me was selling an amazing dress at a very low price just to get something out the door, packing it carefully and attractively, shipping next day only to receive a needs work rating two weeks later for no apparent reason. As a seller, yes, I have had the 8.5 million question buyer who then disappears; but then we have a secondary assumption that inquiry obligates a purchase. Being spending hours listing sharing following to make $2.05. Expecting no problem, when I went to print out the shipping label, THEN Poshmark gives you grief with their idiotic verification process (why they dont do this BEFORE a new Seller posts stuff is beyond me). Im staying with PM for now but after reading all these comments, it sure is sad to know there are folks out there that will take advantage of others and ruin items they send back-just, wow. I have the receipt. Ive started cross-posting items so I can have a wider scope of buyers and most of the time, Im more successful on ebay. With the ridiculous release of their Home Market (I say ridiculous because they already had zillions of non-allowed home goods listings), they no longer have the distinction of being a Fashion and Accessories platform (though they continue to charge a premium fee); 2). They havent responded to me in months now! She then stated this on my page for the bag. 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. I am just concerned about traffic. Its enough to make you really irritated, if youre that picky you could always try asking or leaving a comment warning first that youre going to be that particular and will act like a miserable brat when your never used $120 retail item you bought for an offer of $18 smelled either too nice or not nice enough! There are plenty more who are willing to pay a fair price! I would recommend starting your own Shopify store or selling on Depop. Im sorry that happened to you! People called you a whore because you declined an offer?! Not sure where that came from? Probably no more than $15 dollars. Lucky for Poshmark. I dont own a dog, but SHE does. Thanks for the inspiration! The BBB is of no use because people pay for memberships to the BBB and it is a seller not a consumer based system. The user report/review feature on Poshmark is the biggest example of just how cheap Manish Chandra really is. I dont buy or sell much, just dabble. So if they buy it on a Saturday afternoon and your local PO is closed it doesnt get shipped until Monday and, if Monday is a Federal Holiday then it gets shipped Tuesday and , that is held against your record of shipping even though you had no control over the days the PO was closed . I blocked her and removed the entire listing ( since you cant remove the offensive comments) On the other flip of the coin I had a very sweet lady who had bought from me a few times in the past purchase several of my smaller items and tell me that although she didnt have a need for any of the items , she wanted to help. Hope no one actually buys into that B. S. And not everyone on Posh is conducting it or their closet as a business. Again I contact poshmark no response. It was a pinup dress. I still love what I do, because it is their decision to call me a name. Some girl ruined my swimsuit and then Poshmark return it to me. Poshmark Didnt care about my item and they give me just $10 when the bag cost $70 on my posh! And how about the ones that give you a low rating because they didnt like the fit? Hi Stylaphile, She said they were new with tags. Its all I ever wore. My bank couldnt find the transaction so I had to wait to see where it landed then catch and re-route. I decided to join a Facebook support group, see if I could learn something. The first came about when a buyer kept lowballing me on a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. While $10 or $15 is not a lot of money to pay for apparel, Im not plunking down a single cent of my hard-earned money unless I feel assured that I am getting a decent piece of clothing that is not riddled with holes or stains. Sales final and as is with description. Well duh they are used. And no time suck as its not a social app. This is how Im making a living now and its drowning. I did write her a comment and called her out on it. I also dont get all the endless questions and headaches. I always check out the buyer before shipping. Aside from having no personal interaction with sellers, backing up sellers, and even posting there is a time suck. Fortunately I decided to google for reviews first. How is that allowed?! I am so sorry that happened to you as well. Sharing first thing in the morning. One girl told me I believe I went googling just to find these experiences because Im doubting going on any further, What I found as so far is lowballer cheap skates. Before she listed it on Poshmark, she did due diligence to ensure it was authentic. Does anyone know if the buyer returns the item damaged can you reopen the case? In the meantime, while I was waiting out the 8-day cancellation period, a different seller listed one of the tops I ordered, but I couldnt buy it because the first seller could still ship and then Id end up with two. Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. I have no way of getting my money back from PM. My goal was to sell, unfortunately I shop. I think any buyer should be aware of that and understand that someone wants to buy something that they cant touch or feel , they have to get the best information to make the best choice bc Returns on Posh or any of these sites is a pain in the butt! I also have an ebay store. I just found Mercari to be too much of a hassle. Poshmark support is certainly not going to help you. But, Im stuck. Same name? Like the girl who bought a used bracelet for $3. I dont know how they can look themselves in the mirror. 2. I may need to get out of this reselling business and get a job that is less stress. I still have a bit of faith left in eBay thoughand more so in recent years actually. I have shipped clothes before and most fits in smaller envelopes sometimes for around $3. I have been selling on posh for over a year without any issues. I responded to Poshmark yet there was absolutely no support from them at all. So I get my two items returned, and figured, they are NOW scratched and the make-up train I sold her is ruined inside. Just wondering if it is OK to list on more than 1 website. I have been on POSHMARK for about a month and I am already getting tired of their sharing game,parties and also Lowballers. Thanks. Sorry to hear your having this issue! I have photographic proof of how my item was sent and told them I will file with AMEX since they will protect my resale of this bag that I purchased using their card. I said it was goldtone but looked like a cross between silver and 10k gold. Later, Alexandria. Selling On websites has outlived its purpose in my life. She then gave me one star saying that I mislead her because they were not ugg and that I lied, however it was just her not being able to read. I closed my account, that had perfect feedback, and posted all my items to Ebay. Ok, I get it. What about the effort the seller put into steaming the item so it would look great for the photo? In real life I own a business the owners of the mall would never lock me out of my shop. I was tempted to get into and further explain to her t how retail works (does she realize ALL retail is marking things up 45-50%+) and that I list most items that are CURRENTLY in stores now, and Im listing at 1/2 price of retail and sometime well below my own wholesale cost! At first it was slow but made $500 in June.. No problems & 5 stars on all buys. She was told that she had to pay $20 via Paypal and it would be returned. She claimed I must have mailed her item (a jewelry piece) to somebody else when that other person had purchases something totally unrelated and I KNOW hers was the only bracelet I had yet to sell. I was very detailed in my descriptions as well and was referring to the people that continually ask questions without looking at the description first. I have sold quite a bit with no problem, but bad buyers dont care about that and poshmark much less. I havent had a single sell! Reading this helped me so much.
