Deleted listings. I dont think poshmark is worth it as a buyer or a seller. The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. Had a sale for $20.00, $100.00 skirt worn once. I dont know if theyll ban me because I do still buy a lot of stuff on there.) While in theory that is great, I really dont have time to keep doing that daily. I am currently on Poshmarkbut have a hard time dealing with their promos. After 114 5-star reviews with raves about my packaging with no problems in 3 years, I finally got scammed! It should appear at the top of the page every time you share an item. It made me see a VERY ugly side to the community- bc her harassing me seemed to be out of jealousy and anger. Really, really good points! They gave the buyer back the money. I, fortunately, only bought one on the Last One Reduced Price Listing by a Boutique Posher. Asking to trade when all they have is a pile of target and walmart clothes for coach and other $$ items. The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. Then my package came, and one of the tops was all pilly and had several small holes in it. I was a fulltime seller on ebay from about 2003 until 2007. What? The $9.98 maxi dress ( plus $2.99 shipping) I bought on ebay, from China..is all over Poshmark, selling for as high as $60if you peruse ebay, and those budget Asian stores ( Shein, Sammydress,floryday..the Wish appyou csn expect to see the same items , usingvthe same stock photos(!!!) Now I found thus blog because I was severely harassed today for no reason by a random person. I assure you that I DO NOT own any fake items, but to me is more mind boggling that some how the buyer and Poshmark were able to make this assumption in such item. So you tell me who is being dishonest??!!!!!! Its just frustrating. I have only had 3 cases opened and 1 was for sending the wrong size shoes and the other was for sending the wrong color shorts both were my mess-up and i honored the return no problem at all. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. Stylaphile is an excellent resource for tips,tricks, thoughts, and trends, one I highly recommend any seller bookmark, so be sure to check back often. so ill stay a little longer -but maybe try Ebay and other sites for my more expensive collector items. I daily battle staying on Posh. Hi Liz! Press J to jump to the feed. Have them google When you order over seas products cheap quality than pictured make a listing in your closet explaining all of this! So this $185 dress which I sold for $95 is ruined!! Good luck with your sales though and thanks for the comment! That way there is no dispute! No this is not common. Hope Im not double posting this. I think its bad for both. Tabitha, it is a HUGE time suck. 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 feel like A. they buyer regrets their purchase or B. they are trying to pull some sort of scam. Jen, So now Im out the product, the sale money, the return shipping, and any future sales because the item is basically trash. Thanks for sharing new ideas. It has been past the 7 days. I also didnt like that the shipping was the same price no matter the item was. A group for anything and everything related to Poshmark! If you get it sent back video tape the moment you grab the package and open it and see whats in there. if I cant offer a fair price for something I wouldnt bother insulting people with lowball bs. The posh parties put your life on hold . (Google that too for an eyebrow raising bunch of reading. ) Fantastic article! and get mad when you reject the offer . Everyone wants to sell their stuff , but not everyone wants to buy . Ive taken part in hearting picking likes that style. Again, thats why I say there is not enough protection for the sellers on Poshmark. Here you'll find everything from Posh Tips to exciting new app updates. Can always press internet theft and mail fraud and let them know you will, if you dont get your bag back. If you go on your desktop, does. Id rather save $34 and wait!). I really need to cancel it because I made a mistake in ordering. I am annoyed. Felt like I was in a bs sorority and it was constant hazing. The modeling is not happening for me either, perv red flag alert!!! When they buy it payment is already sent through and cleared.. Only because of the comments mentioned here where buyers dispute the item, damage it or try to take advantage somehow. I have like 450,000 followers on Poshmark but I really want to transition into my own store online. Had not yet wasted my time creating my closet. I have been on Poshmark over a year and have had positive experiences until this week. I also never bought anything particularly expensive. I have been selling for five months. how expensive things are. I just read your comments about poshmark. Second. And dont even get me started on the wholesale portal! A lot of times I state please read my description after they ask a question that is listed in my description, along with a smiley face and then here comes Im a rude whore that needs to learn how to treat people nicer to make more sales LOL. My main reasons for abandoning this platform are: 1). With that being the issue I didnt want to be on their site anyways, who would support people taking advantage of others. Its not even a review. I live in NYC so I have plenty of consignment and resale stores at my disposal. I select 8 items, and while Im reading the descriptions, I spot little blurb promising $5 off if you buy 5 or more items, $10 off for 10 or more. And if you quit because of them, now theyve not only upset you, but theyve messed up your business. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? 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. Seriously. Im considering leaving Poshmark too and Ive only been on the app for one month. Ive sold about 5 small items like fashion jewelry, etc. I dont like linking my private bank information, I simply do not trust apps enough to provide such sensitive information. Which is sure to effect sales. I have Traumatic Brain Injury, put so much time and money into Poshing. Is EBay worth it? She responded that she indeed had been away, and that she would ship it tomorrow. I sell ONE or TWO items per week. I now have 399,568 users and I am a top rated seller however, the sales have dropped significantly and the buyers have become more and more rude and downright nasty. So I wasted all that time and missed out on the item. Some of them Ive been told by high-sales sellers (upwards of $50k per month). To save and print your closet QR Code: I listed clothes from my closet. And I havent had that happen to me before but that def is pathetic upon their part. Now posh gets back to me after 3 days asking me for more pictures and tells me the case is still under review and if I send it back on my own I wont get my money back. Youve inspired me to get off my bum and actually bring my online boutique to life. Ugh. My PM days are done!!! Your Poshmark account will then be deleted. Im thrilled that for some people, it works. I got my money back, but damn! If you want to net a profit $29.00 for an item, best list it for $88.00 because Poshers have no Shame trying to get something for nothing. My family sees me running around trying to make a sale and decided to help me so we literally share ALL THE TIME and nothing, just some weeks ago I was having good sales but I have the feeling they have a way to control who sees you shares or how many people sees it. I dont have a pet. But Poshmark sided with her an thats total crap ! But it got me very upset. Thanks! Well, someone posted it, and my closet was invaded by these, support group members. Thats the core operation of the platform. I have no way of getting my money back from PM. Everybody has their own superstition. Thank you SO MUCH for this post. From personal experience, I can say that even some items listed as NWT and NWOT can come with blemishes or damages that clearly put them out of those categories. Did you click on a market that you have no items listed in? And it takes days for a generic email. Im new to Poshmark and sold my first listing! I sent them like 10 messages telling them that its ridiculous that I cant speak to someone. So I asked if I could please see photos of the actual jacket. i purchased them from realreal (who we know is overly cautious about fakes).. buyet is claiming there are ripples in the shoes and put up some ridiculous photos showing nothing.. first, anyone who has worn loubs in very high heels understands that if you wear a heel that high, there is stress on the heel.. i sold a pair that i had resoled and one of the undersides was definitely strained, but repaired.. its a huge haze, i have a dad w dementia and dont feel like dealing w it.. if i simply accept the return without providing pics.. will i be banned from posh? They are getting just as bad. 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. Ive even started listing clothes and sold one of those items. From across the country. Yes huge time suck, and if you do not put in the time no sales. Im not a big active seller on Poshmark by any means but had success with items I posted. The carrot they hold out in front of these users continues to mesmerize. You do have to pay a monthly fee to use Shopify and you have to know a bit of HTML programming in order to get your site set up the way you want it. Especially woman to woman! I have sold over 60 items. The money the Chinese superfakes make Poshmark is too good for them to close those closets down. O support for sellers at all. I joined last October in search of something to purchase. Also the new scam is just to say an item isnt authentic when they wish to return it. I was already credited by Poshmark, so this $48.00, rare top was given to me. When my package finally arrived..instantly I knew my rock revival jeans were not going to be in that package it was too light. Whatever!! What about Mercari? Everything you experienced is what Im going through now. I also block them. I just opened my closet on Poshmark exactly 2 1/2 months ago and although Im doing great, I feel like if I do step away from the shares and the parties etc that my sales also decline as well. I do see a lot of items noted as sold on Merc or sold on tradsey. Vacation HoldWhether youre going on vacation or want to put a temporary hold on your closet, Vacation Hold lets your buyers know that your listings are temporarily unavailable for purchase. I have a high positive rating but about 1/10 sales I get a bad rating or return request. 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 . Poshmark said that they had received pictures of the item. There's a daily limit for shares on Poshmark, and it's roughly 10000 shares in a 24 hour period. One girl told me The description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. And there is no customer support at PM! I use the blog, social media and Google AdWords to drive traffic to ShopStylaphile. Or the folks that give you a 1-star review with no specific reason. I show them all the photos that were in the listing too. I have this terrible feeling i will never get my bag back! I cant say that I am leery of those buying who dont have a profile the reason is that Posh has made it difficult for someone who just wants to shop and not sell. To mark a listing as "Not for Sale": click the "Edit" icon on the listing details page > select "Mark as Not for Sale.". I told Mercari theyd lost a very valuable, and honest seller. dhampyre This item is a false SOLD listing. 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. Hi! Wowthis is interesting listening to everyones experience. Did you have customers follow you? I think its safe to say that customer service exists in name only. I dont mind doing the work but i believe i should at least be seeing some improvements on their part. Do you not use them because your items are not new? I am close to closing my closet. As suggested above, I will videotape placing the items in the box. (And I spend less time doing that than the all the sharing and parties on Poshmark!). $5 or less offers. I dont have time for social selling. There is a monthly fee to set up your site on Shopify of around $30. Ive made some sales, but they have been pretty hard-won. From the left-hand menu, select My Closet Insights. But the thing I couldnt understand they didnt look at the fact I been a great seller for 4 years, They shut me down completely. Got that? Love this blogthought I was on an island with my feelings. For example, I sold a pair of shoes and the buyer didnt like the fit. on tradsey or something similar. My addiction of buying has been ridiculous and I only ever had one issue and they did refund me- someone sent me a leather jacket that was dry rotted split cracked and shredded! Ive been considering finding a new platform for sales. Some closets are using Poshmark Bots to share their items because it saves them time and makes them more sales. I say nothing about the other person at all. This thing looks like it was probably made in China with the cheapest quality fabric available certainly the thinnest! One of the reasons I pay that 20% is because Posh gives buyers some kind of peace of mind. Im a new seller on posh. They could side with you or the buyer. I offer poshmarks first regret-free promise to sellers. Happy selling to you all! I have so so many high end items on there without any problems but I think I had just been lucky until now. Poshmark didnt even email me. Period. But no. 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. Poshmark really does need to protect their sellers more. I have a closet of very hiqh quality clothes and shoes mainly Italian and Im practically giving this stuff away for free on Poshmark. Going crazy, any ideas? Make *these* kinds of comments. Item was never SOLD but was rather abruptly Canceled by Seller 3 days after accepting my initial offer. Reasonable Offers Welcome! He was sadly a victim of the great Ebay Purge they did in 2013 despite top reviews and power seller status. So there are people on poshmark who will bleed you dry if you let them and there are people who will lift you up, dust you off and help you on your way. Its uncanny! Also, the seller seemed shocked and said shed get back with me. No one sees it but you. I submitted pictures, but said I refused to touch the item. Figure out top selling categories and subcategories based on season. There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. Completely bizarre but block and ignore. Ill suck it up. This was not any kind of problem with any other online selling site. To assume that theyre all men is just not fair & I would guess,not entirely accurate. Scammers everywhere, and the fees are much too high. By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. OMG!!!!!!! How does the BBB have them at an A with all the complaints people have filed?!! Sales final and as is with description. I just got a response that basically said oh well. 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. blah. In addition, of course, to checking out your shop. So, I made a nickel, she admitted to breaking my item & im stuck with a 1 star review I totally feel you. I have been debating opening up a boutique, and am not sure whether I should do it on Poshmark, or something like Shopify. Share tips and tricks, make new PFFs, and banter about. For things I really care about and are easy enough to list, then I will use eBay because the 10% commission they charge is reasonable compared to every other platform and its been around the longest so I feel comfortable using it. I was told I NEED a Facebook shop first. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed they are taking a higher amount of taxes out of sales than the actual state rates? Poshmark is so fortunate to have this base. If you treat it as a hobby you will get paid accordingly. You couldnt see it. Until Chandra feels he is losing his big sellers on Poshmark by his terrible business practices, nothing will change on Poshmark. I think Ive had the worst experience on poshmark yet. Thanks for the comment Angelica! The jar has about 10% left. All $3, $4, and $5 items must be bundled. This is an item that you can sell 1/8 tsp. is your closet showing blank? As well as two other resellers I know. amking45 @dhampyre hey are you bored or something???? Its inane!!! Should have known better!! Most people would tend to think that I must have made a boatload of money, but NOPE. I have also been on Poshmark nonstop as well since starting my own closet. 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. Did you have pay a ton of money on SEO? This is the worst thing Ive heard so far. Poshmark is very odd. Of 250 sells, one was returned in this fashion and I sold it again 3 days later for more money. They didnt reply to me at all, case still in review, and my account seems to be restricted without notice ( as I cant list anymore items ). I think too few realize this is an option. I dreaded waking up in the morning and seeing all those notifications. The pictures the BUYER had submitted showed HER with a knife or sharp object sticking thru my jeans and ripped the stitching. I reported both these items immediately but Poshmark decided to ignore me and released the funds to both sellers. SMH . The sharing. So, Im done. Can someone help me? I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. If and when they do it will be a cut and paste response from their FAQ with no real answer. I tried selling on Poshmark this year. Whatever. He is still out there after a few months. Im not sure how much longer it will work for anyone. Its actually wasteful and contrary to the pro-reduce/reuse/recycle attitude that is supposed to be rampant! Ive been purchasing from Posh since about last July, 2016 and have spent well over $10,000 on there but back in October, 2016, I purchased two items a dress (which was a knockoff) and a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes which were described as a size 10 but would not even fit my 8.5 shoe size daughter. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. The frustrating part about the offer process is you can only write numbers, no words like : What is the lowest you would go? That way they and I both feel we got a good deal and the process would be much less of a time suck. The bonus items were worth more than the items you paid for. Poshmark will sink or swim on this crap. Finally, select "Logout." designer vs non-designer, hip/cool stuff vs regular stuff, vintage vs contemporary). Sorry you guys have had such bad experiences. What one person considers EUC may actually be just good to another person, so some basic elaboration is necessary. I got some $ back from the protection plan, but I hated that I had been scammed. But my concern was that many comments here mentioned a last straw situation that made them quit Poshmark for good. He sent me a picture of the pigment. Unfortunately there are sellers who only post stock photos and those who dont like questions. I dont have a big enough inventory or exposure to go to Shopify to pay their monthly fee. so come on down and give me a reason to put you out of business fast. 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 tried to search up on Google to see if anyone else has had this issue and so far there has been a few, their responses were either too Relist all the listings or go to (my size) and edit that. I have since had two additional sales that have five star ratings so but I feel that it is irrelevant to Posh. Any tips on that? I am so glad I found this! She gave me a 3 star rating, now shes reposhing it for 5 times more than she paid for each item. I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. I was not expecting to make a lot of money, just enough to get by as i am unemployed and my mom has had to help me get by. As far as online frustration I feel ya! Please note we processed a refund for both orders. I continue to ask the buyer to work with Poshmark directly to return and she keeps asking questions and complaining about the authenticity. Protection needs to be across the board for both buyers and sellers. Without a Fashion and Accessories platform, I no longer have an interest in having a closet and Im officially quitting this job yeah! A Posherpurchased a very unique top from my closet. When Poshmark stated that I could get a refund, I responded that I wanted the item and not a refund. I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. I am in the process of closing my closet. https://poshmark.com/closet/dresstoimpress_. Time to quit I think. Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. I tried to explain to Posh why would I send a dress like this with snags knowing this would be the outcome?!!! Thank you for the post. I doubt it displays on the newsfeeds of all our followers. I know when I changed my password, it did not log me out of the app or ask for the new password. Reading this helped me so much. You can delete a Poshmark account easily on either the desktop website or mobile app. Thanks for this insightful article. Yes, there is still the good old fashioned consignment store, I sell on Mecari and saw a huge difference in sales from Posh. Its a much more sophisticated app than Poshmark with a higher level of customer service. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. Most of the advice was to ridiculously raise prices in order to corner the market. 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 !!!! I havent had a single sell! Being a business owner It wasnt a good decision for them either. Tools. Then there are the pervert trolls. Thanks. You cant say that the item does not fit or you change your mind. Anyway, I decided it was time to clear out my closets and make some money from the items I dont want anymore. I havent sold anything. I dont feel I have the confdence to start anything emse though. I believe many of these problems could be fixed with genuine concern in the form of superior customer service. Please understand I. I am just selling stuff from my closet that I cant fit in anymore, I have a ton of clothes & shoes and wanted to see if I could make a little cash off them. I do not understand who authenticates on PM? Hope that helps! even when its brand-new.even when its designer labeled. Closet Tools is a mission to help Poshmark sellers increase sales, followers, and turn their Poshmark closet into a full-time business. Yay! then one return/case i dont think it was completely valid it wa about the size of shoe and i listed EU size instead of brazillain so she had a point -it was a gently used pair of slipper that cost her $4 and gained me 1.05 so I was totally ok sending her a no saying sorry your unhappy pls return no problem. I told her when spending that kind of money, you have to be careful. Great minds! 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. I sold a few things right away and was happy about that. What are your thoughts? So sick! At this point, there is no customer service. I havent been on Posh very long, only sold 13 items. Also, I found a site that list all the names of scammers. Shop my Poshmark closet: http://www.poshmark.com/closet/keepinitradUse the code KEEPINITRAD to get a $10 credit on Poshmark!Jomar Wholesale:https://jomarwholesale.com?aff=112Use the code VANESSARAD to get 10% 0ff!Sign up for Rakuten:Get $30! Long story short Posh told her to send it back and they reimbursed her. I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. And she is, of course entitled to her feelings, opinions and thoughts in regards to Posh. Everyday Im getting tons of followers, likes, and shares a day but nobody buys. This countrys healthcare is the biggest scam. Unlike me, but Im over it. Seriously? Umno. Life is too short. They tacked on $35000 on top of my real earnings. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. How do you get traffic and also how do you get followers? Brilliant for them because they have users devoted to bearing their system, horrible for users because it is so draining that burnout is common. I like people to be sure an she said it will fit just mail it to me ! Surprisingly, eBay is the one where I havent gotten them. New to Poshmark. I was complaining to my bf and he wanted to help out. Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! Oh yeahand uploading pictures?! It happens to some degree in every venue. I had done nothing to the jacket. I came home and opened the package a week later and they were SUPER worn!!! And theyre based out of country over seas!! I believe sellers remorse was behind the refusal to complete the transaction. So not sure if its their revenge on me? I said it was goldtone but looked like a cross between silver and 10k gold. And on eBay, feedback is public. Let the buyer and seller negotiate the shipping. I originally planned to begin selling items, but when I discovered the 20% commission I changed my mind. Not great, but good. 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. 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. even when the tags are attached theyre still trying to get something for nothing and thats the frustrating part! People are so cruel!! Ok, I get it. I have been selling on Poshmark for 8 months now i do average to sell just over a 100 items per month on Poshmark. Arfg, 4 orders in progress now. Terrible experience! Fortunately I decided to google for reviews first. Another complained the item reeked of cigarette smoke, likely from the box I used as we dont smoke in our house but the box was sitting in our mud room which we sometimes smoke on. Posting all over the listing how beggars cant be choosers and she was trying to help out someone claiming to be a victim of the hurricane but I must be a liar since I obviously didnt want to make a sale. I had listed a brand new with tags NFL brand ladies shirt, which was purchased as part of a bundle of 4 total items.
