Thank you. I started again recently and noticed really good items I put up werent selling. At first I didnt realize you need to share your closet and not just list and let it sit there. I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Ive been doing this long enough to know which stores will likely buy what (every location has a certain taste or vibe or customer its geared towards so I try to go to the right locations for what I have e.g. 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. When the buyer received the item, they opened a case and claimed that there was loose stitching. as far as the lowballers I blocked them too and I found when people low-balled me on an item that was brand new I would simply raise the price even higher just to piss them off! so be it Still cannot seem to delete my account though, and really dont want to be associated with a company who is not accountable to their sellers, has no basic business ethics, and ridiculous customer service. People are so rude. Why do these people have profiles with no real photo of an individual? Its the principal of things. There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. No. Can you make anything out of all this?? I dreaded waking up in the morning and seeing all those notifications. If the cost of the item is higher than $15, Poshmark takes a 20 percent cut. I am not sure if it is worth the stress. I sell ONE or TWO items per week. So,I had weigh loss surgery in 2013,which worked out wonderful except for the fact of always having fine hair,I lost a lot more. I have an online store as well and have had one for over 12 years! Regarding Poshmark: I dont like to ruin peoples good standing. I was excited to see that Posh mark keeps your stats on file as I always strive to be the best. Also, the seller seemed shocked and said shed get back with me. Its always heartening to see new folks finding it . It is not a great time for e-commerce startups. Thanks to all for listening and sharing your eye-opening storiesIm sorry for all of us and most certainly will switch to another sales site (or set up my own online store)! After years of success buying and selling on the Poshmark app, I was done. I spend countless hours researching products. As a few other people have said, I have been on pins and needless for a few days over a profit of $16, which makes me disappointed in myself for letting this get to me. I had listed a brand new with tags NFL brand ladies shirt, which was purchased as part of a bundle of 4 total items. The most frustrating issue for me is, people dont know the difference between NEW UNUSED and excellent used condition, or pre-loved condition. I sent them like 10 messages telling them that its ridiculous that I cant speak to someone. He was sadly a victim of the great Ebay Purge they did in 2013 despite top reviews and power seller status. However, where one has a pro its the exact con for the other. Im slowly building a following and directing traffic to my ShopStylaphile.com through my blog and my social media sites. whatever that may mean?. A buyer should expect questions. Can you get scammed on Poshmark? . All it took was one 2 star review for a vintage belt to knock me down. The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. Why doesnt Poshmark oversee their listings and make it mandatory to post several pictures and provide more information? or Posh will flag you and shut you down. Your story is nearly identical to mine just about 4 years later! All links mentioned can be found here:https://www.erikaslinks.com/ I hope you enjoyed this video and/or found it useful! The bottom line is this , first of all I owned a retail fashion store for years and had the same problems and I found out its easier getting cussed out online than in person . Its really too bad because what started out as a great way to sell my designer stuff that I no longer use, has now become a wild west market of crap and dishonest people. (What company wouldnt want to keep their site free of these types?!) Last week I made four offers and they were all accepted. I was working the graveyard shift for the first year that I sold On PoshMark and made roughly over 180 sales. But to be honest, online businesses are never easy. Thanks for making me feel better about my over reaction! I wish you the best!! 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. It was bizarre bc she kept writing to me..?! I shipped a designer handbag in perfect condition and the buyer opened a case stating the bag was ripped and torn. Getting defensive that just makes one suspicious! Im not sure how long that takes since that was only a day ago. I am so glad I found this! *Although they prohibit the use of AutoShare Bot programs, as with the non-allowable items, they do nothing about addressing the use of these. Its pretty silly I dont have to do that when I am buying online. Good idea, I was actually going to record opening the box just so there would be some sort of proof. We will not be restoring your account as we require users to follow our returns guideline. I have tons of New MK purses w/ tags, brand new makeup Dior, Chanel, Elizabeth Arden etc. I learned this my first month and never turned back. I have only been selling for 4 months and I have already had a brand new with tags 34 B bra returned because she claimed there was NO WAY it was a 34 B. I agreed to let her return the item and she was reimbursed . The most recent experience is awful. Im finding some women are awesome and dont try to get you down too low and others like your things but they want it for $5. However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. I wish all of you luck in your life and i hope those haters that are reading this stop the games on Poshmark. Overnight????? Dont need the stress. Hi there, The Seller must have gotten a real bargain and no wonder she cant wear wedges because she probably couldnt get them on either! This is my last resort because usually the payout from selling by mail is lower than in store (which, makes sense, I live in NYC which is pricier than where their warehouses/HQ usually are) and selling by mail also means anything they dont take theyll donate unless youre willing to pay to have them return your stuff, so I usually just wave goodbye. Iv got names. And how about the ones that give you a low rating because they didnt like the fit? It has definitely gone down hill an I feel like I dont get much sleep cause Im trying to make everyone happy an that part I love just not all the other crap !! It all like someone whos in a terrible marriage but isnt willing to leave. Ive been really happy with their decision-making once I learned I wasnt powerless in the face of a handful of unscrupulous buyers. I tried to reach out to them, but it didnt matter! I moved away from it a while ago, & now Im just deleting my account as well. A buyer was interested and they negotiated a price. There are sellers on Poshmark who are lazy, entitled, unprofessional and unethical. And I got endless questions on every item, even though I had described it completely. She was rude and not what I wanted to deal with. If there was any communication with the buyer prior to purchase I also screenshot that and show it. I would recommend starting with Tradesy and eBay. 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 was just curious, what was the best way to post an move all your items listed to your new online store? Seriously. Its insane, now that they have grown there needs to be rules for top rated sellers. I figured out early on to block people with no listings and thousands of followers.number seekers. I really need to cancel it because I made a mistake in ordering. Essentially, there are many Sellers that may have 1,000 listed items to Sell, yet lacks any real intention of Selling many of the listed items. Why I decided to leave was I sold a brand new name brand mens sweatshirt with tags, the buyers received it and filed a claim saying it was filthy dirty and no tags and I was trying to scam her! Not really what I was looking for doing with my time (I actually have a full-time job). As a result, I decided that I might continue to buy from Poshers, but would not open my own closet. Now their postal is more than $7! Hi. There are some pretty simple fixes to your complaints and you just have to determine what you want to put your energy into! I was informed that I have to wait while they review the case. (LogOut/ I bought a BRAND NEW IN BOX item and this has been used. Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. Change). (two and a half weeks later, still no response from Seller) Poshmark never read my emails. Anyway, ive sold several items on Poshmark and had great ratings. Of course, there are several other top Poshmark sellers who are crushing it. If you have any advice about what direction i should go please let me know. We are the ones that helped you grow. So.. she seems to be a bit of a problem. Yet I have people who offer me $6 for a $200+ item and then send me a comment to bitch when I explain why I cannot accept. Its a much more sophisticated app than Poshmark with a higher level of customer service. Joke-mark. They are her personal experiences. Two more things: If youre selling fakes knowingly, stop it. Diana, OMG, Im so sorry you ad to go through that Cat. Just impossible. They didnt even answer his question! Gotta get back to listening to 3 day and all night livestreaming party in Minneapolis Prince songs. The parties. Listing photos showed otherwise. Have you tried Tradesy? I realize for a well-written description, a slew of questions is less necessary. Too funny, I typed in Poshmark sucks, after receiving a lowball on an expensive item. Do not try to justify it because there is no justification, and if you get shut down you deserve it. I think most people do that. Thank you . I dont defend the behavior whatsoever,by anybody. Wow, I am so sorry this happened to you! I went out of my way to be nice to this buyer and she says that. Either shes a scammer who wants to get away with it or simply just a buyer experiencing remorse. Ive been called every name in the book even after being very nice! I got it Friday after waiting 9 days for it and the label was cut off. But I guess some people do think there used stuff is better then others same used stuff . Im having the same issue I sold one thing and sold it cheap disgusted with it. Hmmm! Arfg, 4 orders in progress now. 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. 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. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! You all know how awful the communication is. The buyer opened a dispute claiming its not as described and is broken. Ive done oretty well for the most part on Posh.Ive learned to give everyone pretty mych 5 stars..or else..I received a velvet blazer marked size Medium recently..upon receiving it..it was barely a size XS..I took the loss..ALWAYS ask for measurements!! It has so far been a colossal waste of time. If you want one necklace, you pay over $6 in shipping costs!! I even asked the girl if she wanted, she could just cancel the order and keep it when she gets it just so I dont get a bad review ( I have 5 stars so far and worked hard for it) It just isnt fun for a good seller. 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. So I get my two items returned, and figured, they are NOW scratched and the make-up train I sold her is ruined inside. It doesnt even make sense that they give $5 dollars credit when shipping is $6.49 its better not to even use a referral code. Im going to give all my remaining active closet to good homes at the end of this week. It was even obvious in the comments that they were sold as the girl who bought them thanked me for them. Thats just a fact. You can simply list your items in POSHLAND and nobody will ever bother you again. The item was immediately tossed. So of course she received them and they dont freaking fit, but they must be mismarked because she supposedly got another exact pair from someone else in the same size I had listed and those fit perfectly. When you buy used, naturally you expect to pay a lot less. If its less expensive, and you wouldnt be out a lot of money if they scammed you, then it might be worth the chance. Ebay on the other hand is more customer base than seller base. As far as low ballers all you have to do is ignore them. Sad it has to come to that! Im shocked and disheartened to learn that so many other sellers have experienced the same ABUSE by a company that were keeping in business! Well, they told me I couldnt contact the Seller directly (to even say anything) so Im just stuck with a pair of defective shoes and out $50!! I thought it looked nice. Sellers are also given the opportunity to cancel a sale that has been made. They are a vault of knowledge you are missing out on if youre not already reading them. Thanks!! But what I found in that package was TRULY DISTURBING. If its a high-end luxury item, I wouldnt sell it to someone that didnt have a longstanding presence on Poshmark. At this point, there is no customer service. I clearly stated in my Wont make another purchase on there. I wasnt able to sell the drone in fact I could barely give it away. One excuse was given to Poshmark while a different excuse (to me) was posted in the item comments. Thats basic customer service that I feel any seller should be prepared to provide. There are a lot of great things about Poshmark, but they should really do something about the lowballers and the people who give bad reviews when they arent warranted. So Ill start by saying Im Newish to poshmark. The item was never taken out of its original packaging. So I am officially done, it is no longer worth the time, risk, and effort. But I wont. However, some sellers elect to place an item as "Not for Sale," a feature that clearly tells buyers which listings are no longer available in your closet.This includes items sold in bundles, reserved listings, notes, or purchases that you just want to share with other Poshers (#PoshFinds! Why did you accept the offer if you cant ship the item? I have had an account for over 15 years with 220 transactions but I never though I would leave Poshmark for ebay. They take so much money from us and thats all their concern is. I mean, there are a ton of closets that sell crap for $8, $7, $5. I have photographic proof of how my item was sent and told them I will file with AMEX since they will protect my resale of this bag that I purchased using their card. Unblocking Someone on Poshmark Blocking someone on Poshmark isn't a permanent action. I have sold over 60 items. Also, coincidentally, I had a buyer of an authentic Frey Wille bracelet open a case against me. The dress hung in her closet with plastic over it and then came to hang in my closet after listing it on Posh. Absolutely PSYCHO. It shouldnt be like this and it is infuriating. I just created a poshmark account wanting to make some money, but now I am very scared. They openly discuss their light assets model carefully avoiding any discussions about the pitfalls: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4497193-poshmark-inc-posh-ceo-manish-chandra-on-q4-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript. Based on experience (and believe me, I know), once the payments made, it isnt necessarily all good! Also Birkenstock has very strict return policy anyway: take one minute to test them but show no signs of wear. Do you find self advertising costly? So why do I have one foot out the door? I have come to the conclusion that: 1) they are run by bots and no real people work there, 2) if they DO have real people, they are all 20 years old and complete idiots, 3) Elon Must just bought them and 4) regardless of the preceding suppositions, their customer service by ANY definition absolutely SUCKS ROCKS. Im new to Posh and I realize this article is older. As if anyone living in the United States could make money off a vintage, used, faux leather jacket, and would bother to try to sell one that was counterfeit. Ive been toying with the idea of starting my own website, Im just not sure Im there yet. Sadly no. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. This info has helped to confirm my decision not to sell on Poshmark.. She bought a $15 kylie Jenner lipgloss tube and when she received her package she claimed I had sent her an empty box. Long story short Posh told her to send it back and they reimbursed her. I feel so sorry to read what happened to you. I wont stick around much longer . The feature is abused 99% of the time by jealous nitwits who want to close down competition or ignorant fools who think they know authentic goods when they havent the first clue. Im breaking down the sense of trust and integrity on the app. Irene, I would certainly be careful. Ive had to take half my closet down Bc of rude people ! I videotaped myself opening the box and sent it to them. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake! They claim that they monitor and block users who dont follow the terms. Obviously not. Hi Ashley! Trying to figure out all the steps I need to take. if I cant offer a fair price for something I wouldnt bother insulting people with lowball bs. Maria, this is terrible! 16. THANK YOU for this helpful info. For example, I sold a pair of shoes and the buyer didnt like the fit. I came across your article, and Im so glad I did! I still have a bit of faith left in eBay thoughand more so in recent years actually. I have no sympathy for the person who buys something and doesnt like it because everything is as it is you are taking your chances here its a little different than a yard sale but its basically s yard sale everything is final and they know that when they buy it. Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. Before shipping the item I was asked to verify the size as they wanted a photo of the tag. She hasnt even responded. The more messages He emailed posh asking them what criteria do they look for that constitutes a fake? Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. I am trying to decide if I should block her from buying any future items from me. I told him that my ad had clearly stated that it was not brand new and that it was 3/4 full. I just started selling and already I seem to have gotten a fraud situation. There's a built-in buyer community. Poshmark isn't all that bad there are a few benefits too! I should have blocked her because I had a funny feeling. Poshmark doesnt have a 1-800 number and doesnt responds to emails. Theyre returned to me DAMAGED by the buyer- she STOLE the CC logo off the side of the sunglasses (she actually scratched/gouged it out with some sort of tool) and popped out a frame, cracking it. I cant even use Poshmark at all it wont even let me make an account. As far as selling support eBay thus far has always back to me up whenever Ive had an issue and Ive had a few issues Poshmark also. Its uncanny! Not only am I tired of low ball offers. No, I didnt get to take my followers with me, but I put up a notice in my Poshmark closet letting my followers know that my closet had moved to ShopStylaphile.com, so a lot of my customers did follow me over and buy things from my new site. I think given the fact that Posh expects you to sell items at least at 50% off retail, then they want you to offer a discount on top of that and then Posh takes 20% off the top and NOW they have made it so you can make offers on bundles you might as well give your stuff away!! So you have access to see what the user has for sale, but you are blocked from interacting. I pack my listings with information though, and use all the photos also, and I know that is instrumental in helping me win my cases. People who are used to buying fast fashion junk (and Zara is definitely fast fashion, cheaply made junk) need to stop making lowball offers on quality designer items.
