If someone will not post extra pics or answer whether an item is authentic, then you know its fake. Thank you for this post and saving me the time and aggravation of going through it all over again. I had a very expensive new with tags flawless dress come back to me with obvious cat hairs on it and snags. Joke-mark. Ive had friends try it on too with the same comment. Wrapped it in crisp white paper with a simple label to close the folded over paper) I thought it looked minimalist Unfortunately I have not received a single package sent with as much care as I send mine. Hi Nelia! Being spending hours listing sharing following to make $2.05. She wont stop telling me that $45 is all she has. By and large I have been very impressed with the sellers. In my first purchase attempt, the seller could no longer find the item. The time investment is ridiculous and for what? I feel like A. they buyer regrets their purchase or B. they are trying to pull some sort of scam. If they try to interact with your listings, they will be notified that they've been blocked. 2. 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. They STILL approve the return and send the item back even with supporting documentation! My rating had fallen to like, 98.5! A lady friend referred me to Poshmark. I recently found a listing for a Kate spade jewelry box that the poster calmed was orginally 100 dollars that she was no selling for 75 dollars. I received an email stating it was removed because it was counterfeit! Hence, Im having a liquidation sale. 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. I went out of my way to be nice to this buyer and she says that. . I told him that my ad had clearly stated that it was not brand new and that it was 3/4 full. After discovering I purchased a fake gold ring sold as real 14K, I then found several more rings from the same Ambassador. Id rather save $34 and wait!). They have very poor business practices to say the least. I have filed a case against the return but days have passed and Ive only received bs automated responses. 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. Two brand new items never worn still with tags and in boxes, 2 star rating one left a note saying more than gently used I asked her to please explain to me- no response! It sucks because Ive been able to made decent money using it but the horrible customer service combined with their 20% commission makes it just not worth it to me anymore. So she picked item not as described. The time is waaaay too much unless you are a high school student. Her reply was less than professional and she chided me for waiting almost four days to rate and give feedback and for suggesting that the dress should have sold for a lower price due to the unrevealed staining. Omg I fully understand. I know I probably should have just canceled the order but I figure everyone starts somewhere. There are some pretty simple fixes to your complaints and you just have to determine what you want to put your energy into! I first signed up with Posh a little over 3 weeks ago, and I am BURNT OUT! Poshmark is making a hefty 20% commission just for using their site and sending out shipping labels. Thanks for the insight! Still trying to wrap my head around it all.but I want to say thank you for writing this.I needed to hear it from someone else that Im waiting my time on Posh. If you are selling replicas,they will eventually close your account and ban you. Poshmark is a digital online marketplace where sellers can sell goods, and customers can find unique, brand new, and good condition used goods at bargain prices. And they are wicked. Reason #4: Poshmark is a massive time-suck! When Poshmark stated that I could get a refund, I responded that I wanted the item and not a refund. Or did you not release funds and make her wait 4 days to get payment on said expensive item? The stitching is uneven and awful. Also, I guess since she neglected to mention this defect (by simply omitting it) she didnt misstate anything. What about Amazon.com? Thats AWFUL!!!!!! How does the BBB have them at an A with all the complaints people have filed?!! I have sold quite a bit with no problem, but bad buyers dont care about that and poshmark much less. Had a sole imprint and everything!!! Not sure how many will understand that silly you tube reference. I reported a big replica closet every day for 6 months as well as sending in emails with attached screenshots of angry, ripped off customers leaving comments re: fakes they were sold. Not a lot, but I cant imagine that I am the only one that this has happened to. Thanks I was finding people on poshmark and ran across your closet to follow . Its the United States Post Office for crying out loud! At this moment, they still have the wrong name of the bank associated with my bank routing number. I emailed Poshmark Support and asked the question but havent heard back from them yet but I dont see how they can make a seller make them an exclusive. Im @silverrusty. This article seems to bring to attention the Seller experience, but for myself as a serious Buyer, rather, there are too many ongoing occasions where the Seller accepts my offer and then 3 days later flippantly cancels with no cause for cancellation to the Buyer. They didnt even answer his question! Im still active & have made a few really good friends, but some things just kill me! Completely bizarre but block and ignore. A majority are on here to make a few bucks, etc. I still have a bit of faith left in eBay thoughand more so in recent years actually. If it is someone who lives in your area and wants to meet to transact (Ive done this and saved the individual the shipping fee), then meet in a public place where others are around and tell them it is cash only!!!! I reported both these items immediately but Poshmark decided to ignore me and released the funds to both sellers. When you sold an item on another marketplace did you just delete it from Posh or just put not for sale on it? Thanks. And I have the clear pictures of the front and back of the item, so when zoomed in you would see everything . I was working the graveyard shift for the first year that I sold On PoshMark and made roughly over 180 sales. That would leave me with 2.50 not enough to buy the tape to close your box, lady! I also had issues with women on there. Tap the flag icon below the comment and select the reason (spam, transaction off Poshmark, offensive comment, or harassment). I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who felt this way about Poshmark. I moved away from it a while ago, & now Im just deleting my account as well. Just browsing through the brands, i was horrified by multiple posts in 10.Deep that appear to be selling people or offering their services. But most alarming was a picture of a young boy with the user name listed as hump87. I just had as case open for me exaggerating the so-called flaws I didnt describe. Oh then I deleted the item and relisted. Well, when Poshmark realized that I wasnt a patsy that could be ripped of, they suspended my account. Im going to take pictures of every inch of an item. I dont have many followers and Im new to selling online. I would get up in the morning and receive offers that I couldnt even begin to describe what emotion I was feeling. My bag was ripped by the buyer (maybe she regretted her purchase). 2. changed her mind and put a hole in my bag. Then I got a few weird troll comments- thats when i learned there are a$$holes on there just out to be rude. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. So dysfunctional. So it was worth my time investment to do things like measure the bust because sizing varies by brand. Thank you for sharing your experience and I thank all the other people for sharing they bad experiences too. 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. But then I read BigCommerce and the others will automatically integrate with Instagram and create my Instagram shopnot sure. I do think I will send the information to the news outlets. If and when they do it will be a cut and paste response from their FAQ with no real answer. Ive had a great deal of success on both. This is a fascinating article and comments, and now I join this club! Anyway anything expensive you are selling document document document it with photos and video before you send it!! Not great, but good. There are sellers on Poshmark who are lazy, entitled, unprofessional and unethical. I cant deal with such people. I clicked the "Share To Party" button on the Closet Tools 4 (maybe 5) times. I have been pondering over the idea of whether or not accept the return, but it appears from what I have read here, I might as well fart in the wind. They expect everyone to be techies, I dont have a printer and they require a printed label. Wow the same thing just happened to me with a $8 dollar dress, the buyer was aware of the damage and asked zillions of questions then purchased the dress which is a expensive item sold for $8 when she received it she instantly open a claim for $8 freaking dollars!! Hi Stylaphile, Hi Bernice, when I was active on Poshmark, I certainly cross-posted all of my listings to eBay and Tradesy. This is just one example of the countless jabs we get as sellers on Posh. She went on multiple listings and wrote terrible things. Etsy has the safest /best protection for sellers. If the cost of the item is higher than $15, Poshmark takes a 20 percent cut. There are rude ignorant young girls on there that get angry when you reply to them or ask them questions as well. It was brand new!! I get a nasty review how I lied about the items, that they were used. There really should be something put in place for the sellers, especially since they take so much commission out of sales. There is a lot of work involved as far as driving people to your site via social media, blogging and adwords, but its well worth it because its YOUR site and youre not having to deal with the BS on Poshmark. 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! I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. And lastly, DESCRIBE YOUR ITEMS. After a couple of weeks I grew tired and depressed from following these communities on Reddit. My guess is she received the shirt and tried to iron the rayon material and burnt it. Yeah, ok!?!? Ill suck it up. Then there are the pervert trolls. Guess what? Once I launched my store, I never had anyone send me an offer for anything on my site. Given the high Poshmark fees that sellers have to pay, this is simply unacceptable. Poshmark to me has the worst lowballers, some of the offers are beyond absurd. They are to savvy to purchase on Posh!! I deleted it. What I mean by that is often time ebay will take the side of the customers over the sellers. What a piece of absolute garbage!!! My computer is all the tech I need. Ppl dont usually tell the down side of things. A follow up comment since it has been a FULL month for me on Poshmark: WHAT IS WITH ALL THE CHINESE STUFF BEING SOLD FOR RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE PRICES? There's a built-in buyer community. Glad you branched out to shopify. I have recently read some sellers have started to videotape the packing and actual item when shipping so they dont get scammed by bad buyers. And I totally agree re: giant time suck. I sold a brand new pair of tommy bahama flops a couple weeks ago. In my opinion, at the very least, the whole site should be shut down. There could be tens of millions of search results in Google for "cute top" which means that no one is going to find your listing amongst all of those. What a joke! Wont make another purchase on there. You literally just take pictures of your items and write the description on your phone. All my PoshMark items are on a clothing rack with a large linen tablecloth covering them to keep dust off. Although its taking some time, I am moving the inventory, and due to Mercaris fees and shipping, Im making more than I ever did on PM and I spend very little time! Is this not consumer fraud? Therefore, Ill have to reconsider Poshmark to sell my vintage wears on because I really dont need that aggravation. 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. Ive found some great deals on Poshmark, but I usually find my experiences on that site really frustrating and stressful. They do not deserve 20 percent of any sale and they clearly do not protect sellers. Outside all the reasons most of the comments have said- mostly scammers, rude people and the absolutely worst customer service in the history of online sales I mean, honestly when its worse than eBay, that is sayin something, I think that its really being overlooked just how much Poshmark is expected to consume a persons life just to sell a $35 skirt, pack it prettily, rush it to the post office, wait for someone to get off their ass and accept it while praying they dont ding you with less than 5 Stars. I never heard of Tradesy before this blog and their shipping is $10.50 for just the label alone. Tabitha, it is a HUGE time suck. As a honest seller, they have never had my back and tonight was it for me. I kept the listing up unaware that was the issue. You cannot say anything in response to this, as its against Poshmark Ettiquette Rules!! Love this blogthought I was on an island with my feelings. I wrote on here once before but I just recently had an experience similar to Eltee. Nuff said! They are her personal experiences. It is very obvious that PM does not care about the seller. Ive spent the last year or two getting rid of my PM inventory on Mercari (I no longer have any interest in resale). So as of right now I am out around $100. The pictures the BUYER had submitted showed HER with a knife or sharp object sticking thru my jeans and ripped the stitching. I getting back to my life now. I love poshmark, but I have found the people on there to be very rude and hurtful. Did you do a direct mail campaign to notify them? I hope you have lots of success! So sick! Use the site wisely, certainly dont sell something you wouldnt give away to charity. Hi Ann, im just a posher on this thread not the one who wrote the article. He is still out there after a few months. And Im not the only one to have received items back damaged. I am just concerned about traffic. However they no longer respond to my emails. I do follow new people weekly & share my listings but I was just hoping the app would do more of the advertising for me I guess. I only sell things that I would buy myself; if there is too much wear I will either throw it away or donate it. She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. It is not a great time for e-commerce startups. Besides that this site is for those who have quit Posh, not those singing its praises! How do you get the traffic and the customers? I did get one snarky message in my notifications but I could not read it as it was truncated. As I type this reply, I feel like Ive had PTSD for the past week. What bank gives you that much interest on your money. I bought a pair of shoes. This is a bold face lie! Its obvious Poshmarks main intent is to earn money primarily for themselves, and thats mine with my closet. Got that? Study what you want to sell and buy it as low as you can and sell it for a profit of 150% of what you paid for it and you will sell it fast. I am now waiting for a response as to whos responsible for the return of my ORIGINAL bag as I will NOT accept a bag that isnt mine or intentional damage to my bag because the buyer changed her mind. I contact the seller and she blocked me. Hi Elizabeth. Wowthis is interesting listening to everyones experience. Poshmark should look at your selling history, there is no way a seller would send an item with holes on it and literary, obviously, used after selling 100 new and high quality/5 start rated items there is no way on earth that we as a seller would do that. I had listed a brand new with tags NFL brand ladies shirt, which was purchased as part of a bundle of 4 total items. Disappointed in Posh. Hi @thetokensoul. Got to a hand it to her you cant take pictures of an odor. My daughter bought a designer bag from a college friend. I have had it authenticated on a coach forum and also directed her there to ask her own questions and concerns so they could show her what makes it authentic and also pointed her to information/articles. I have read a lot of horror stories like this happening to people unfortunately. Too many scammers and creeps!! Yes / No Oh,I forgot to tell u the best part. Thanks! She also never used the bundle feature and on one of her packages she listed a different address entirely to flim-flam me. After November 16, 2016. No response from them until today! Great article and thanks for sharing. I have been buying actively on Poshmark and also have a few sales. Though Poshmark paid me the money, the buyer was able to get a refund and my item!!!! NOTE I have been selling on eBay since my now 16yo was a baby and still sell there. 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!). Starting my own business. Obviously, someone was mad that I didnt give them the lowball they wanted and started flagging my comments, but Mercari doesnt care to actually research what is going on. The sellers ask higher prices on their used items because Poshmark takes 20% of the sale amount for their own fee. I was devestated!!! Kids! I have an online store as well and have had one for over 12 years! How long did it take before you saw a profit if I may ask? This may be one of the worst Poshmark experiences Ive ever heard of. The bag is 100% authentic and I have a receipt. Long story short: someone bought it, said it had snags, took photos and sent to Posh! Youll get a full voicemail box, no way to make contact with a live person and no one will respond to your emails. The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. Bernice, I learned from my Poshmark mentor that you arent suppose to mention other sites like Mercari, etc. The best way is to report it. Find the person you want to unblock in the list and tap on "Unblock." I decided that, if the stain was barely noticeable, it wouldnt matter if I was unable to remove it and I went ahead and purchased the dress. All the best to all you other sellers as well . 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 was out the time and return shipping and the product while it was being returned to me! Now a message to all that takes the time to read this!! Select Report User. Also want to make a note about MERCARI: I wont sale on there bc i had a nbd experience ( although after reading her i see it could happen on PM too I had a girl buy an expensive designer swimsuit from me It was NEW NWT NEVER WORN, i tried it on twice realized it would never work for me so listed on PM- she found me asked if i could do it for lesson MERC. When the buyer received her item she filed for a return. It was a complete waste of my time. She is claiming I sent a top with iron burn marks! I was waiting for proceeds from a sale that went to the wrong bank account. She also has no profile info or a closet. I have now 250 items listed. maybe a few are , but most of us know what its worth and it is not what you paid for it. I will now only buy on TheRealReal. Been on Poshmark since 2019. It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! I was new- i agreed. Thanks for your comment Patricia. When Poshmark finally got around to a reply they told me they couldnt help me. I dont own a dog, but SHE does. Tradesy takes up to 2 weeks to release your fund and transfer to your bank. As a seller I wish I had seen this before I was scammed by a buyer. I still use the site but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
