Got that? Of the site, she said they didnt break any rules. Again, after reading all these stories, Im sure it wont turn out well for my case based on Poshmarks inability to support the sellers that actually make the company moneybut Im sure theyd listen to a lawsuit asking for damages/compensation. Again, this is exactly why I left Poshmark. There is an assumption at the foundation of this piece that what is a well-written description to one person is suitable in addressing the subjective requirements of another person. if someones going to give you their money I take that very seriously because I work so hard for mine. Im just getting started with Poshmark and I feel its more of a sellers app then a buyers place. The thing I like about poshmark is how you dont have to create a paypal or venmo to receive your money. No way Id sell any high end bag on here for someone to call it fake. And lastly, DESCRIBE YOUR ITEMS. That way there is no dispute! The thing that gets me is, Im not Instagram savvy and Im looking for a way to reach that market. So many sellers dont give you any info and you have to comment to find out basic information like the fiber content or the length of a skirt. Two of them never shipped. There are sellers on Poshmark who are lazy, entitled, unprofessional and unethical. She even supposedly sent them video proof. I received an offer of $200.00 for a LeVian ring, $150.00 for a David Yurman ring and $300 for a David Yurman Blue Sapphire ring within 1.5 days. That is how you make it on Poshmark as a seller just dont care who is selling what, and do your own thing and share your stuff only!! anything will help. Firstly, she was trying to take advantage of someone who was in a very emotional situation, and who knows how many times this ploy has worked in the past for her but I cant be bullied and I wont tolerate a manipulating opportunist having a temper tantrum because I didnt give in to her berating. I have been called every name in the book. Also, if the buyer isnt happy with the purchase, Tradesy handles the return. Anything in dealing with the public is going to have problems but certainly having those people asking you to model something would be the straw that broke the back for me I wouldnt have anything to do with them I wouldnt even answer them but I was having many questions about how the site function and Im glad I came across your experience. I have only been on since the latter part of March this year. This info has helped to confirm my decision not to sell on Poshmark.. In the end its the WORK! And how about the ones that give you a low rating because they didnt like the fit? She wants Ive sold 5 things on posh. There are some pretty simple fixes to your complaints and you just have to determine what you want to put your energy into! I work full time plus some and am a single mother, so I pass up time wasters as much as possible. I found your article and am hoping you might know what can be done. , and that the RARE collectors items I have listed high are being sold by many others at the same price point so of course Im going to try to make the money where I can PLUS I spent sourcing & research effort m time , money , tax and shipping cost to get that items and of course Im going to try to profit if i can esp when I am losing money on so much other stuff to balance things out but my biggest under was why does she care what Im doing? Im so over it right now. So here I sit rambling off I dont have access to my own business I built. (Seller finally makes a response right after, although a very questionable one, again a little more than two and a half weeks have gone by) I sold a few things right away and was happy about that. . Overnight????? Thx for sharing your story! I strive to be a seller that is honest and that people dont have to worry about buying from. Really lady how fat and wide are you that you cant fit into a one size fits all stole? Posh will also examine the pics you posted online and the description. I have 73k followers and Im a Suggested User. My frustration goes both ways, as a buyer and seller. I had/have a $500 bag listed and the same buyer kept offering me $200 or less claiming it was reasonable which it obviously isnt and wanted to argue about it claiming it was too high and thats why I hadnt sold it. Also the new scam is just to say an item isnt authentic when they wish to return it. Be sure to include the following information: These are men who have found Poshmark and created accounts just so they can ask you to model that pair of high heels or that tight dress. Especially the high end name brand ? I have been buying actively on Poshmark and also have a few sales. 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 . I am shocked at the time women are willing to sacrifice for this one singular objective. Really, really good points! On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! Or another one who offered me $3 on an item listed at $4? I am documenting my packaging & item just to be safe. I know that these are all individual experiences regarding Poshmark, etc., but lets face it, with so many people being scammed and dissatisfied, you cant pretend that they are all exaggerating. anyone have any ideas? I have shared to FB, I bought a mannequin to make my pics more professional. In fact, Im setting up my Shopify store as we speak and doing some research and thats how I came across your article. So she picked item not as described. The boutiques are growing exponentially and with the shipping, they are more expensive than retail, but wont except returns. I am not sure if it is worth the stress. Tradesy sets limits on offers, so you never have to worry about lowballers. If your a top rated seller there needs to be some level of trust. I cant understand people who reduce prices to where they are making NOTHING on a sale. Now ladies if you ever worked retail in a clothing store , you always have that repeat custom that comes in the store buys an outfit an wears it out an comes back to the store to return an outfit she wore !!! I must send them $20 shipping fee thru paypal in order to get my bag back, otherwise they would keep and destroy it. What about Amazon.com? They havent responded to me in months now! 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. If Sellers understand the responsibilities of what it is to be a Seller and Seller-Buyer etiquette, then there shouldnt be any problems. I very much mind working hard and long just to thwart scammers and thieves. All brand new with tags however I feel as if the items will stay there forever and the the mass population doesnt really buy designer but more so gently used clothing or they want your items for next to nothing. Wow. Im a new seller on posh. I got to the point where if someone offered me less than half the asking price, I would just block them. I also never bought anything particularly expensive. Sorry you guys have had such bad experiences. Watch YouTube videos on How to Sell on PoshMark. I quit a year ago and then decided to create a new account to sell just a few pieces of jewelry. That also will only communicate through email. Ive branched out to posting my items on IG, Im just nervous about making the leap to a full fledged small business. Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. How do you get the traffic and the customers? It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. What about Mercari? But what I found in that package was TRULY DISTURBING. Havent made any sales in a few weeks and today Ive made 4 out of no where. Keep me posted on how its going for you and thanks again for the comment! They gave me a 30 credit (it was a several thousand dollar jacket) but at least I received a reply. Ive been selling on eBay for over 12 years and never really had any issues up until the past couple of years.omg, scammers galore!!! I have no idea where else to sell it though I know you recommend Ebay but are there any easy alternatives which have more, appropriate, seller protection? And they get mad if you tell them that? I just came across PoshMark about a week ago and was searching for what it means to follow someone on poshMark when I found this. The site is similar to eBay and Mercari, but it only allows listings for clothes, accessories, and makeup. I spent days on this. I wonder if Poshmark shadow bans certain sellers? 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. Three months pass, I send multiple emails each month including photos- no response. The parties. I just figured, since it was such a huge time commitment, why not commit that time to myself and my own business? Anyway, I decided it was time to clear out my closets and make some money from the items I dont want anymore. Forgot to add this: How to remove a love note: Account Tab My Purchases or My Sales Tap on your item Problems/Order Inquiry Remove Love Note, OH Yes been called White trash told I look like a stripper blocked them and they make new accounts and would keep going Someone told me my ISO posts were idiotic and I was a moron. My first sale, I already have someone disputing the authenticity of the bag I sold them. Can I ask if your photo showed the item zipped up? And then today? I bought a BRAND NEW IN BOX item and this has been used. 10%. Ive quit Poshmark, too. She says in her complaint, I wear a small and this does not fit like a medium I want a refund on this shirt. Seriously? Hi! My items are like-new cute clothing mainly for children as fair prices. I have filed a case against the return but days have passed and Ive only received bs automated responses. It will pay off in the long run! I can hardly believe there are people who can sleep at night when they list these things for $48! When you buy used, naturally you expect to pay a lot less. I just feel so cheated as I am getting back something damaged. I sold a never worn pristine condition Rag and Bone jacket on PoshMark. I agree! This is exactly how I feel. Trying to figure out all the steps I need to take. Hence, Im having a liquidation sale. Were you able to retain some of your Poshmark customers with the move (which is one of my biggest concerns as I have a log of repeat business with the vintage jewelry that I sell)? I am a Buyer and they want me to sign up for an account I am not interested I buy things and just use PayPal and have used a number of emails but now it is to the point I cant order anymore unless I sign up oh well, so many sellers are missing out (think I have four pending purchases PayPal already processed but PM just sends me an email to sign up. Then that shit stays on your wall forever unless you repost! I havent had a single sell! After a week, Poshmark came back to my daughter and told they had cancelled the transaction,the reason, not that it was not authentic but rather they were unable to authenticate it? There JUST IS NOT A MARKET, unless you want to work for $4 an hour. I hope you have lots of success! Although I have dealt with many nice and honest sellers as well!!!! Anyone know if I can file a complain? My measurements were clearly posted but all she cared about was getting it an I clearly stated to her do you want me to measure anything ? When I contacted the admin. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. I wish I would have known that sooner. Since then another open case has been filed against one of my listings where it was clearly stated NO STAMP to determine if what I was selling was gold or gold-plated. Poshmark has a consumer rating of 1.55 stars from 2,457 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Without a return policy, cover your a**, or so they teach us in law school. If and when they finally remove a listing, they do not suspend the account. Kaitlyn I am so sorry for you. Then you have to wait 3 days for your funds to be released. You take a chance to see if something fits or not- its not OUR problem as a seller if it does not fit you! 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? Hope this helps!! I now only sell high value items on my own site or through Tradesy, as Tradesy handles all returns and you dont have to worry about getting scammed. You have to create a profile. The first call took an hour and a half. With a larger user-base, you would expect your listings to sell out by the time you count to three. Only 3 hours away, wish i was there! Agree with you completely! Hey Kaitlyn, we too were hit hard by Harvey, loosing both cars and a huge amount of personal property that we can never get back( like family photos, and other sentimental treasures) seeing as how not only do we rent our apartment, but we also have no flood insurance, we had lost hope that we would be able to get any kind of help to survive this tragedy. A crazy lady has been harassing me for over a week and I realized all the things you describe. Not just for the brilliant content rich posts but also read the comments!!! Plus, you csn expect to be then attacked by the sellers posse of mean girl Posh- buds!! when it comes to protecting the seller I cant say that Posh has not protected me.Ive had I have no recourse and feel I was scammed. Felt like I was in a bs sorority and it was constant hazing. Still no response from poshmark. I had a buyer try to sneak different items into a bundle after we had negotiated. Im so sick of sharing other peoples things and not getting the same in return. Sure theres a ton of complaining and trying to figure out what the business is doing, but theres no real pushback from the community. I have not tried Tradsey, do you feel that your experience is better on Tradsey? Any sharing or following like poshmark? I have no way of getting my money back from PM. I appreciate your post. You put the boom in every problem Ive had. I am just sick!!!! The list is endless. I realize for a well-written description, a slew of questions is less necessary. Im done for good this time. If you are a new seller and wary and have questions, feel free to email me. even when the tags are attached theyre still trying to get something for nothing and thats the frustrating part! I started on Posh to pay my sons medical bills from this past summer and the only thing I feel Ive gotten from Posh are migraines, a stronger eyeless prescription and the feeling of being isolated from my family. After a few months, I started seeing tons of foot fetish perverts all over the feed. Also, frequently I purchase items and the seller never ships the item or responds to questions about when they will finally ship the item. I will definitely look into them. While the majority of people who purchased items from my closet were class-act Poshers, I did have my collective share of bad apples that found their way to my Poshmark account. That my integrity as a seller was being questioned. Scammers everywhere, and the fees are much too high. I only sell things that I would buy myself; if there is too much wear I will either throw it away or donate it. Obviously the CEO, Manish, doesnt give two clicks about anything, just as long as hes making money. And I dont go on those posh fb groups or waste a second of my time bsing w women who arent really your friend.. something I learned.. these are acquaintances.. co workers etc not friends. On the mobile app, go into the closet you want to block. Keep me posted if you start something outside of Poshmark so I can help you promote it! Sold a couple of items and then had the brainstorm HEY! What they really mean is exposing this activity breaks down the trust and integrity of users. Lowballers are the worst. I sold a tech item and the buyer claimed it didnt work. Ugh. But my question is, How did you make the switch? I learned this my first month and never turned back. Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! 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!! Anyway, looks like ebay is still the best way to start a business. 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. Much to my dismay, they didnt require him to return the item. My daughter wanted to make some extra money so she decided to sell some clothing. Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! Using the site I bought a whole bunch of stuff that was just fun and tempting to get and so inexpensive made me wonder about how the girls did that it seem to take so much time. Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. Not sure where that came from? Whoever these people are, no nothing about products! The 20% is way to high. I just joined poshmark. 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. (4) It isnt their decision how I manage my business (and therefore my finances). Posh happily accepts my 20% fee and wants us to Share the Love. Now a message to all that takes the time to read this!! Mecari buyers are more excited to purchase in the constant 24 hr feed . The ridiculous reason why!? But when I found myself blocking people all day long, I just stopped accepting offers period.
