I quit Poshmark a couple of years ago, thank god. maybe a few are , but most of us know what its worth and it is not what you paid for it. I know he is doing this to get a refund.he has already opened a case with PayPal and now has been harassing me They just provided a tracking # to wait for god knows what to arrive. I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! I am just sick!!!! Thats why God invented Facebook. Sales final and as is with description. At that point you have to provide a receipt or COA, and wait. Okay, brace yourselves, women! And Im not the only one to have received items back damaged. I only last a couple of months before I closed up shop and headed back to eBay. funny that users name is cole, same as mine LOL, Awesome you reported it too! Its pretty silly I dont have to do that when I am buying online. They are a vault of knowledge you are missing out on if youre not already reading them. I am resigned to having a ding on my account so I just told her to contact Posh as I have no access to her payment and they are holding it. Yes huge time suck, and if you do not put in the time no sales. Recently though, someone bought a dress and actually complained in the listing comments stating it was smelly and dingy and I was getting reported. I highly recommend that Poshers not put all of your eggs in one basket. Im sorry that happened to you! You wont obviously make any money but you shouldnt get kicked off Posh. Go find one of those and dont lowball a seller who has higher prices. THEY WERENT FAKE! Dont respond back to me one said and then she kept going. They said they were warning me that they had to remove multiple replicas from my closet and despite having previously warned me about this, and this is my final warning!!! Looking at her closet I see she purchases all sorts of jewlery for a super-low price only to turn around and resell it. 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. But thats ok I will take my business elsewhere! How do you get traffic and also how do you get followers? I got some $ back from the protection plan, but I hated that I had been scammed. Definitely deleting my accounting and washing my hands of this. Im kind of getting tired of PM myself, and Im fairly new in there! Long story short Posh told her to send it back and they reimbursed her. For example, I sold a pair of shoes and the buyer didnt like the fit. Well give it a few more months and see if its all worth it. Then I came across a buyer. You cant say that the item does not fit or you change your mind. The modeling is not happening for me either, perv red flag alert!!! That is why they like sites like ThredUP.

I dont like that poshmark doesnt stand for the sellers. Time will put this poorly conceived and terribly run business in its proper place. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? I did NOT list it as new because I had removed the retail tag but did note that it was unworn and provided loads of photos. After discovering I purchased a fake gold ring sold as real 14K, I then found several more rings from the same Ambassador. Ive been going round and round with them. Its quite rewarding leaving all the drama of Poshmark behind. I was a top seller, with over 333,000 followers. Everyone wants to sell their stuff , but not everyone wants to buy . This is exactly how I feel. Like somehow, thats your problem and not the manufacturers? If you approach this as a full time job and apply yourself to your career, you will see results. #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? Im easy to find just look anywhere online for Hillarys of Houston, Im the owner. I feel like there is nothing to stop a buyer from damaging an item and claiming the item is not as described. 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!

Just curious if it was zipped up on the photo how someone could claim the zipper didnt work. and who is CLEARLY either: 1. pulling a bait-and-switch with her own damaged bag (again, in her one photo, you cant even see the entire bag, whereas I have 8 photos of my bag in the listing) OR Is essentially new to Posh, aka, a buyer. I tried the dress on, thinking that they may not be as noticeable while the dress was actually worn, but they were very visible. Maybe one day Ill create something of my own. With no sharing, following, or any kind of maintenance at all. On the up side all have had a ton of nice people and buyers.. Im on the fence. They sided with her & I got a damaged coat back. Not a lot, but I cant imagine that I am the only one that this has happened to. But it is also about respect! Give a child a chance to own his or her first pair of nike, ugg boots, Etc.

I just came across your post same thing here for my too. I was under the impression thst Pishmark had individual sellers putting up for sale their own item.What Ive seen, increasingly, is tons of sellers putting up for sale items they have bought off ebay and some of those cheaper, asian based stores that are all over the internet! The seller then cancelled the transaction. With eBay, Im having a similar experience, but Im still dealing with it and need some advice. Unless you sell only high end expensive items its just not worth it. I asked about the sizing, and the seller responded right away. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. They are well known for not replying to your emails once you get the automatic reply you never hear back from them. In the meantime, I did a screenshot everything I could in my sales and purchases. Has anyone else had this problem. I think we should be able to review the buyer. So,I message posh. Ive used eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, OfferUp, and now Facebook Marketplace as well as Tradesy. I recently had an experience returned item that was messed up and totally used .I had photos to support that it was new and quality was good before the buyer sent it back used and crappy condition. I think Ill keep it that way! By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. Yeah, ok!?!? I was waiting for proceeds from a sale that went to the wrong bank account. There is also a lot of elitism! I dont have any negative ones thankfully minus a brand new product that someone said was more than gently used (still in packaging) !! Would this stop someone from scamming/being scammed, do you think, or would Poshmark even ignore the video proof sent in by a seller? Im sad to leave as I have met some great people and made some needed cash but honestly it is such a relief to be walking away. Once I finally get my payment I am shutting my closet down. Also i agree with everyones frustration. I am so glad I found this! Thanks for your suggestions of better alternatives to PM! Im very grateful that I found this blog. 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. Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! I get a lot less than doing it myself on eBay but none of the hassle. Its been great so far for me. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! Costly? But rude people def get reported and I have posh remove their comments.

Look out for your money. I ask for a supervisor to email me or for them to give me a corporate number and I get a lengthier email from Posh threatening to shut my account for selling fakes. Any sharing or following like poshmark? Is this new? I will only ever use Poshmark to buy because the prices are great and the variety is nice because sometimes eBay doesnt have any listings for a particular item I want but I cant be bothered to sell on Poshmark and this post confirms it. As I type this reply, I feel like Ive had PTSD for the past week. I dont really have a way of proving it except with my record of sales and not having any problems.

This is just one example of the countless jabs we get as sellers on Posh. Ive learned quite a bit from reading all the issues and problems that buyers and sellers have had to endure. As for me, Etsy became too social media forward and very time consuming, so Ill stick with Ebay for now. It also explains why there are so many listings with unanswered comments, so all of these stories help people like me understand. So I wrote back to look at my pictures and if you knew me I would never do something like this! If I waited to share my items at 5:30 a.m., I missed PoshMarks prime time hour. Again, thats one of the reasons I quit! I reported both these items immediately but Poshmark decided to ignore me and released the funds to both sellers. It may be slow but I kind of like the process of it all, you know? I love posh and you just have to protect yourself by videoing your transactions! even when the tags are attached theyre still trying to get something for nothing and thats the frustrating part!

Typically since you accepted, they will do a one time refund if you show the wrongful of the description. Thanks @stylaphile youre right, its seriously not worth it. I would write in my description Final Price and Price is Firm, but Poshers would still offer me $5. All of what you have stated is the issues I have. No. Since then, Ive sold almost 40 items, which I thought was pretty good in comparison to eBay, which Ive been doing for years.

The Seller must have gotten a real bargain and no wonder she cant wear wedges because she probably couldnt get them on either! A lot of people were interested and someone bought it almost immediately. Did you do a direct mail campaign to notify them? I have become frustrated quickly with Posh. Surprisingly, eBay is the one where I havent gotten them. The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. SO FRUSTRATING!!! Been on Poshmark since 2019. I had a genuine Chanel listing reported and questioned. 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.

They have very poor business practices to say the least. Lowball offers on everything, nasty comments, you name it. high fees and noone is serious. Do you find self advertising costly? I dont understand how they could do that when I sent them pictures and videos that it works. Im a new seller on posh.

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.

Well today, for the first time, I received an email from Posh stating that a case had been opened against me. There are too many unethical buyers, trolls and Poshmark scams. Any tips on that? Hope that helps! 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. Buyer confidence in me went up and I sell things faster as a result. So imagine selling that same dress for $16; you'll pocket $12.80. Ive been on since Nov 2016 as a buyer then started listing in May to Sell. Absolutely PSYCHO. I always wanted to open up and online store but I have no idea how to do that I am way behind in technology. I get a nasty review how I lied about the items, that they were used. 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. Most people would tend to think that I must have made a boatload of money, but NOPE. On the sales page across from where is says order status their is a drop down that says Problem?Order Inquiry When you click that drop down one option will say, report a problem with a return.

Ive been thinking about trying to open a boutique on Poshmark, but definitely have reservations. First it blows my mind that people will pay for designer dusty bags and empty shoe boxes but hey, that thats just me. what I found most frustrating about posh Sellers is they dont put much /any information in the description, they post terrible pics or only one picture and then they act put out when you ask them questions ! I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. Whatever!! . I always go into the Post office and get a receipt, then I have proof of shipment. Ive had completely ungrateful ratings and rude comments left, even when getting an item close to 90% off in mint condition complaining of perfume smell (it was sitting by an air freshener).

I am scared to list my stuff. Needless to say, Im flabbergasted, disgusted and completely in shock that Poshmark would side with a new buyer/Posher who has 0 listings, no info, etc. On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! I wont stick around much longer . When this item left my possession, these were brand leggings with no flaws, I just took them out of the bag for goodness sake! A crazy lady has been harassing me for over a week and I realized all the things you describe. I live in NYC so I have plenty of consignment and resale stores at my disposal. Also, if the buyer isnt happy with the purchase, Tradesy handles the return. even though its a side job if youre going to get annoyed bc someone asked you 3-4 questions* not listed in your description* then why bother selling? Thats AWFUL!!!!!! Ive been called names plenty. I can live with it. I dont know if its worth trying to sell on there, at least not coming in as a newbie thinking one will make realistic amounts of money.
