If Sellers understand the responsibilities of what it is to be a Seller and Seller-Buyer etiquette, then there shouldnt be any problems. Also there are so many in person places to sell like let it go on top of the usual. I deleted my account about 2 years ago (also out of frustration and disgust with their business practices) and though they tried to entice me to stay, I was able to completely separate from them. So back to Ebay I go. This last time I ordered was past the 7 day mark and Poshmark would not let me cancel it from their website. So.. she seems to be a bit of a problem. I got my money back, but damn! You MUST state this in your ebay description or else the wrist band is useless. After reading your horror stories here, I gather I am better of finding another outlet to sell my things. As for me, Etsy became too social media forward and very time consuming, so Ill stick with Ebay for now. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Click below if you want to learn how I did it and open a store of your own!). I had a sale on Mercari and posted it as not for sale and typed in Sold in the description on Poshmark. I think Im ready to quit poshmark too. Lowballers on Poshmark are the worst. It has been countless hours of trying to fix a problem I did not cause and Poshmark will not help. And its ppl like that, that are making me want to close up shop. Try calling Poshmark like I did (650) 262-4771. 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.". They said it was snagged all over. Amen. Kendra, thats fantastic news about what youre doing with your site and educating people about fast fashion. When the bag arrived dried and in perfect condition I replied back. Finding me on fb to harass me. They told me to ask the BUYER to change it. Im new to poshmark and I was reading your article and Im actually glad to find something that describes the cons of the app. Just constant drama and bs. Honestly I would have been happy to arrange a return ( bc it is a costly item) if she had just told me -hey It doesnt fit canI pls return it .. then I could have gotten it back undamaged and resold but instead i have a $200 brand new suit that is ruined. I am getting frustrated that now most of the time when want more information on an item I want to buy, sellers are ignoring my questions. If you approach this as a full time job and apply yourself to your career, you will see results. Im not sure how much longer it will work for anyone. It just baffles me how people can do stuff like that! I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! I have sold quite a bit with no problem, but bad buyers dont care about that and poshmark much less. Wow thats horrible! No one should have to spend the equivalent of a 40 hour work week of time to sell a $15 tee shirt from the Gap. My guess is she received the shirt and tried to iron the rayon material and burnt it. The time is waaaay too much unless you are a high school student. I took a picture of myself wearing it as soon as I got it back & sent it to them, showing that the damage done was not even visibly stretched around my arm, it clearly fit me well & that being that I stated Id been the only owner (and my clothes are all the same variation of sizes) they should see they quite obviously made a mistake. And if you want to open up your own online store in the future, start building your social media following now. My main reasons for abandoning this platform are: 1). I sold a pair of like new Spanx skinny jeans for a ridiculously low price to someone who I just had a feeling was going to be a problem after I accepted their offer. It is very obvious that PM does not care about the seller. Best of luck. I feel that I should get some of my money back bc I have defective shoes and poshmark has a guarantee to not sell faulty items since I paid so much for these defective very expensive Louboutins I feel that I should be compensated.. so far as a buyer this website kinda sux .. Im an honest person and buyer and not one thing that I bought on this website was described accurately ( I take that back one pair of pants were fine) but sellers should be honest bc there are good honest buyers like myself who end up with the short end of the stick. Hi Nelia! Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. Its the principal of things. Wrapped it in crisp white paper with a simple label to close the folded over paper) I thought it looked minimalist Sorry if you didnt like my speaking up and posting of my experience. But I like you missed the social aspect, I had regular buyers that I had became friends with. Plus, you csn expect to be then attacked by the sellers posse of mean girl Posh- buds!! So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!! If you have vintage, those items seem to sale faster there. Also, I found a site that list all the names of scammers. I have so so many high end items on there without any problems but I think I had just been lucky until now. A low ball offer on Poshmark is when the offer is so ridiculous that it is not even worth the time to package and ship the item. I work full time plus some and am a single mother, so I pass up time wasters as much as possible. As the seller said it didnt leave her house that way. Lowballers are the worst. I am beyond livid. I have only had one offer and it was about half of my listed price. I agree with you unless it comes to high end, in-demand and hard-to-find designer items. Been on Poshmark since 2019. Sadly no. In the return screen I contact Posh stating I got a damaged return (now unusable/sellable) and hear crickets. I just came across your blog & Shopify site. Lisa, Im hearing more and more stories like this, and I too, had my share of sales that were canceled by Poshmark because once I purchased, the seller never responded. Looking into this. If its working for you, by all means stick with it! So, I quit and went to eBay. I found it unethical that they let that Header on my news feed, because it basically deceived me into thinking I had free shipping. And forget about offering gallery-quality jewelry on Poshmark. Hope Im not double posting this. (Google that too for an eyebrow raising bunch of reading. ) Thats what I found so frustrating. I dont have a lot of experience with buying wholesale, as most of my items either come directly out of my closet or are things I pick up at consignment stores that either dont fit me or that I think a customer would like. After looking at some other Poshers (a.k.a people who sell on Poshmark) I discovered that the top sellers had a nice theme going where they would take pictures of their items with pretty backgrounds and keep it consistent throughout their postings. Yes / No CHEERS! You have given me more to think about! I appreciate your feedback! ~Peace and Purple rain, friend~. That was really the tipping point for me. The bag was not damaged when it left my home, and definitely was not broken when Concierge received and inspected it or their Concierge wouldve returned it back to me. Im not sure how this will endbut I am sure Im finished with Poshmark. Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. This seemed to Enrage her.. I assumed they meant dont speak to her, which I avoided. 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. Thanks for the insight! The Seller and Poshmark ruined it for me! LeAnn! I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. I actually tried Mercari for a while but all I got were seriously lowball offers on all my stuff (like $3.00 lowballs). Look out for your money. Just wondering if it is OK to list on more than 1 website. I will definitely look into them. Poshmark has a consumer rating of 1.55 stars from 2,457 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. No one sees it but you. I sold an authentic Valentino Nuage patent leather bag (MSRP is $1950 took a lowballer offer of $60 because it was damaged), I took/posted the full amount of pictures allowed by Posh (most of the damage) and noted it at length in the description. The really cool thing about it is that they are not penalized as long as the cancelation is made within the seven days allowed before shipping is required. Today a buyer seriously lowballed me and i snapped, i told her for the offer i would rather keep them. In real life I own a business the owners of the mall would never lock me out of my shop. I sold a brand new Pinup Girl dress there was not a thing wrong with it. Its super simple to use and youll have much more control over your sales and your earnings. Ive been called names plenty. I just think it is ridiculous to complain about that when you got the shirt probably for $3!! high fees and noone is serious. Iv got names. I am so frustrated by PM! I do see that a LOT of people are strictly selling on Instagram too. Here I am really depending on this income and once again its gone. You send the longer you will be waiting. Agree with Nelia and Karo above just started on pm and dont want to spend a ton of time on it (have already). And then there is the time suck factor. This issue is about my earnings that Poshmark still hasnt released. I purchased them for $50 and received them within days. Though Poshmark paid me the money, the buyer was able to get a refund and my item!!!! I do realize some are killing it there and they say they have employees who help. Ive even started listing clothes and sold one of those items. The 3 dot icon is just to the right of the "follow" button. And dont get me started on customer service. As it's only been just gently worn, you're figuring you can probably net at least 80.00 for it, give or take. She has them numerous emails with all relevant details and it has met with no response. Im new to the site. The dress arrived while I was working and it was three days before I was even able to open the package and examine the dress. Give them a try and let me know how it goes! it just seemed like one more time consuming event that I could not commit to so I didnt. The site is similar to eBay and Mercari, but it only allows listings for clothes, accessories, and makeup. Its always heartening to see new folks finding it . Too many scammers and Poshmark does nothing to help either party. Use the site wisely, certainly dont sell something you wouldnt give away to charity. I made sure everything was as described before I sent the order and then I got the issue. wonder why they arent selling, or think people are low balling them. The ridiculous reason why!? Ive had people tell me they have no time to answer my questions and I found that very shocking considering that as a seller Im always happy to answer questions but to save myself the time and aggravation of digging out an item to answer a question I try to make sure that when I posted my Posh closet I put aside a day or two to get it all done at one time. Can you please tell me more about it. dhampyre @amking45 Bored or something?; Clearly a snide remark? OMG, Im so sorry you ad to go through that Cat. Any input would be helpful esp. If I sell something elsewhere, I just delete the post on Posh. Thanks. Im trying to run my closet as a business, but the endless sharing, posting and responding to comments without ever so much as a thank you is wearing me out. I think Im done with poshmark for now. But after sharing, liking, and following others, there doesnt seem to be much return. Besides that this site is for those who have quit Posh, not those singing its praises! Its bad for me and for customers walking by. And no time suck as its not a social app. This delays my shipping time. Absolutely agree with everything you had said and your reasons for leaving posh. Being a business owner It wasnt a good decision for them either. Ive been selling on eBay off and on for the last 15 years and its just extra income for me. So not sure if its their revenge on me? Disappointed in Posh. I am shocked at the time women are willing to sacrifice for this one singular objective. After doing some research, I think Im going to steer clear of PM. You upload items to Tradesy pretty much the same way you do Poshmark, but you dont have to do the continual sharing. They emailed him back directing him to the app step by step how to start a claim process. Im so livid. Thank you so much for that information. (3) The first was a lowball so I declined, but the 2nd I dont know if I should trust. The first time I was active for three years and did pretty well, however, when Poshmark opened their platform to all markets, enter the trolls, the scammers, the perverts, and the con artists. It has been pending since August 17th. And I run into it often on Posh! To continue to show support for me . Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. Plus they only let you add 8 pics. No thanks. Reason #1. I feel poshmark staff needs some kind of guide book to fallow. I tried selling on Poshmark this year. Hi there! ad that I had dumped out a small portion of the pigment when I bought it and hadnt touched the rest since. NOT GOOD. Select the Action Menu (.). I have been selling on ebay for over a year, and am used to lots of flexibility with editing pics. I am thinking about leaving Poshmark. So in this situation mercari shouldnt have approved the refund because he has clearly admitted that he was just unhappy with his purchase price! I didnt expect a response right away from the seller, of course, due to the holidays, but after the New Year passed, I commented to ask her if everything was okay(I figured she may have been away for the holidays). Not great, but good. And unfortunately without going into details, the garment came back to me damaged. Since then, I have SO many new followers everyday. NO complaints. They have different shipping options and didnt see anything about what they charge for a commission. I have all 5 stars Poshmark doesn't keep track of who you have blocked. And an update for board poshmark approved the buyers return and their comment was not enough images of damage its a large tote not sure how to do all sides and inside with 4 pictures. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. Posh Jail prevents you from sharing listings and stops you from following people. 10%. Love this blogthought I was on an island with my feelings. I recently had someone buy some Nike shorts from me. Did anyone else not know this or am I the only one? One seller said that she had to be kidding to offer a price that was 80 percent off the bundled price! The stitching is uneven and awful. We should be honoring each other and not be deragatory we get enough of that!!! Be any businesses I have the right to charge whavi want however I didnt I charge a fair priced its not my fault they seen it online cheaper. i will be for now on or only going to sell locally and hand it off in person! I put so many hours into PM for almost no outcome. Can you imagine doing $250,000 of business a year with a company, and them getting 12%, about $30,000 a year, and them not picking up the phone? Ive had far more positive reviews than negative but lately a huge influx of negative when I havent done anything different. I not only lost a sale but they made sure that I cannot resell the item!!! No response from them until today! But I understand.d Im not thrilled with the cut that Poshmark wants, or with all the click the following button. Can someone help me? What type of business is this? (Theres a little I dont have a big enough inventory or exposure to go to Shopify to pay their monthly fee. I made a listing within my closet, never stating her name (1-bc her user name changed frequently) I simply used her stolen pics and showed fellow honest Poshers how to use Veracity. After a couple of years hiatus on Reddit as well, I decided recently to check-in on the 2-most popular Poshmark subreddits. So excited! If you have any friend whos worked at a clothing store, particularly during the holidays, I would bet anything they have plenty of stories that would shock you. Im curious to see if your still successful using shopify or if your thoughts are still the same. I sold those NWT item only for $10.00 to get my feet wet and get my 5 stars only to find out that no one can even see those rating. I started with Poshmark last August 2016 and Id say Im doing well in terms of reviews and ratings. Without a Fashion and Accessories platform, I no longer have an interest in having a closet and Im officially quitting this job yeah! Poshmark Scams You Need to Know About. Postmarks used my redeemable points. What about Amazon.com? As a buyer, Ive been blocked for asking respectful questions about a product I am neither able to preview nor return. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. 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. 17. Around march check out this person page only to find out they list on poshmark, but make sale on FB.I only made 2 sale mostly Bebe dresses NWT and I didnt want to sell anything else for $10.00. I either interacted with folks that have drank the Poshmark kool aid and are delusional and in denial or folks that do recognize the deeply flawed issues about the company, but dont care enough to put any energy towards calling them out. I was PISSED! It was bought immediately and the buyer asked me to ship it asap which I rushed to the post office to do. Today I get this: Janet replied: Thanks for your email. It would be a pain, it after the three days of inspection you could just delete the video.
