The bundles costing US SELLERS more money to dish out to ship. Well the shirt was mis-marked as a 2XL and I clearly stated that in my listing. And I am selling stuff for cheap too but its not moving??

I told Poshmark to send it back because I didnt want to have someone like that having my beautiful necklace. Ive read all the horror stories on this blog and its very scary. I dont mind working hard to make sales and build community. And no time suck as its not a social app. I am not interested in running a garage sale on line. And let me know how it goes! I was beginning to think I was going crazy. The jeans were brand new and never worn. NO complaints. An app where you can load a pic and it will tell you if it can be located anywhere else on the internet. I recently sold a Chloe Marcie Bag and after I sold it, it got shipped to them to authenticate. People are so rude. When the buyer received her item she filed for a return. Its pretty silly I dont have to do that when I am buying online. There is NO 100% protection. Dont get me wrong, a LOT of people have great success on Poshmark, and you might end up being one of those people. Even ebay did a better job. Until Chandra feels he is losing his big sellers on Poshmark by his terrible business practices, nothing will change on Poshmark. Hmmm! I personally am not into vintage clothes but i think your website looks fantastic! Ive also had some open cases, 2 favored the buyer and 3 favored me, because as you stated I describe the item great and they still can come up with a lame excuse and say they dont want it. The offer was $20. I try to be very specific in listing all measurements and any defects or minor flaws. I would love to find a place to sell that does not require the 20% commission and will not require tons of time. I have many complaints about poshmark, but lowballing for $7 shipping doesnt make sense(?!). dont feed into all the games that are being played on Poshmark. I have no idea what Ill get back since she claims its damaged now. Reason #1. I have to say that I have been on the site for only 6 months and have experienced all that you spoke about! I came back from vacation to all of that and just shipped her top and deleted the app. CONS: Their customer service is horrific, no phone service, insane lowball offers, buyers not accepting, the 20% fee, their email responses are comical, they look at the subject and copy & paste a generic response. The Seller posted a picture of New With Tags No Box for a pair of Toms shoes I had been interested in. THEY WERENT FAKE! She bought a $15 kylie Jenner lipgloss tube and when she received her package she claimed I had sent her an empty box. Did you click on a market that you have no items listed in? Im new to PM, too. $75. 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. ?What do I do?? I would write in my description Final Price and Price is Firm, but Poshers would still offer me $5. And how about the ones that give you a low rating because they didnt like the fit? Typically since you accepted, they will do a one time refund if you show the wrongful of the description. They need to offer more options on shipping. I think Ive had the worst experience on poshmark yet. And I clearly listed the dimensions ::sigh:: Its exhausting dealing with rude people that dont care to read the description, like you mentioned. Did you have customers follow you? So I went to eBay Mercari etc. I ask Mercari to remove the review as they were made up of lies and showed them the proof that my descriptions were honest. And good luck with your sales , Good to read all these because since I became active in Pm in Jan I have experienced all this, even PM doing nothing about a creepy, unsafe member I reported and emailed. After a week of begging thank god they allowed me back. Not a lot, but I cant imagine that I am the only one that this has happened to. Hi Nelia! Also until I learned how to use the closet and the bundle features I was getting discounted prices all over the place when I didnt want to ask for prices so I learned how to just click and buy it instead of bundling it. Absolutely agree with everything you had said and your reasons for leaving posh. Step 1, trying to get a tax id number. My item was shipped to a buyer yesterday, so I will see how that goes. CSV. How about silly girl talk on a rainy Sunday afternoon? I just deleted all my listings and uninstalled the appIm taking a break and will see if I return. And unfortunately without going into details, the garment came back to me damaged. It would be nice to see how many times each one of my listings has been seen by potential buyers. Hi there! Any advice you can give me is so appreciated. I checked everywhere in their faq but found nothing on the subject. I do think they have some algorithm that controls how many people see your share. I wrote back to Marisa and copied and pasted the article then I concluded with do you really want me to sue you over $24.17. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake! Well I wrote back and said there isnt anything in my closet for sale so Im not sure what you removed??? ?Thanx,Lisa, I have to leave Poshmark. This unfortunately happened to me. I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. 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! Had one guy that put $300 of stuff in his cart and offered me $50. You can get into Poshmark share jail by sharing close to (or more than) 10000 shares in a single day. Finding me on fb to harass me. I just quit last night. Id rather take my stuff the the consignment shop I go to. She hasnt responded and refused to accept the order even though it was her fault for not reading carefully. . Obviously, sharing is key to making sales on Poshmark. I am professional and just discuss the item. Well the women purchased this brand new dress from me an I mailed it out on the same day as she wanted it for a weekend party .. so I went above an beyond an she received it an on the 3rd day she opens a case against me claiming that the sizing wasnt right an it couldnt of been a size Large 12-14 , an wanted her money back ! Everybody has their own superstition. 1. Tradesy handles all returns on their own. It took me a month to get it back up. A lady friend referred me to Poshmark. Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. Closet Tools is a mission to help Poshmark sellers increase sales, followers, and turn their Poshmark closet into a full-time business. but Poshmark has some algorithm system where after you have gone to all the trouble of posting your items, THEN they start their verification process when you go to print your first label to mail your item, and all they keep sending you is mobile info to get a text message. This is a fascinating article and comments, and now I join this club! I told him that my ad had clearly stated that it was not brand new and that it was 3/4 full. So sorry that happened to you. Its about being social and every one is selling inspired by labels (knockoffs), despite PMs supposed policy against it. Its all I ever wore. 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. Thanks for understanding, Janet. Thanks for the insight! An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. I guess they didnt notice over 1000 good reviews and complements Then on eBay they made a computer glitch and even admitted it Was their error,got shut down my shop as well even though I called three times they never fixed the problem. When I came to the realization they were at best as bad as ebay, that is when I deleted my account. Try it out and let me know how it works for you! It is incorrect by $35000. Someone told me how well they were doing and said I should give it a try. Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. I have never had this problem before so when the buyer left me a comment asking if I was going to ship I was confused and looked into the matter post office is a little behind updating and I felt so badof course the one time I dont wait in the long line to get a receipt!!! The buyer not only lied but harassed me endlessly and they sided with her and refunded her money. I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! The bad thing about this is the other Poshmark accounts are basically wanting a sell more than wanting to make a purchase. I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. This IS NOT the bag I soldyou cant even see the entire bag shes claiming is mineand yet Poshmark approved the return! and within minutes the items had offers and instant sales. Poshmark closet disappeared? is your closet showing blank? 25. r/poshmark. I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. A buyer can go anywhere they choose to buy , but not so much for the seller , so sellers are a dime a dozen , but not so much a buyer .And they know a disgruntled buyer will probably never return , but if a seller has made some pretty good money they will blow off some steam , but will continue to stay . I truly love so many people I have grown to know that I doubt I can ever leave completely but ebay is looking easier, less time consuming, and oddly enough less annoying. Thanks for all the info! So now, I have to decide if I want to return everything, or keep this stupid rag that I wouldnt even donate to Goodwill. And then there are the trolls. That looks like a phone number and his responses were in broken English. She rated me a 3 Star and Ive only had 5 star ratings. Its the principal of things. Thanks for your suggestions of better alternatives to PM! 1. Second ship raise this year, also 20% is a huge chunk. Hi Stylaphile, funny that users name is cole, same as mine LOL, Awesome you reported it too! Thank you so much, Wow! This is exactly how I feel. Not even google has any relevant answers for that stupid error code 2002. This is what it means for you: Love or List Challenge (LLC)The Love or List Challenge is a perfect time to list and score hourly prizes. Fantastic article! Ive only had one person open a claim and Poshmark denied it. Its great for the handful who do make money but its antiquated in its design and their cut is highest Ive encountered. Lowcountry's Closet (@my_poshboutique) | Poshmark But started selling upper end vintage and luxury labels on eBay in the late 90s selling to a variety of people but also designers and once in awhile a celebrity. I started selling on Poshmark in January 2019. Then that one type of buyer yup, the one described here in the numerous comments. They denied my claim stating it wasnt enough evidence of a fake. I am not sure if it is worth the stress. If your a top rated seller there needs to be some level of trust. 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. Thank you. The item was never taken out of its original packaging. I have been looking for a way to open my own online thrift/consignment store to sell basically anythingnot just womens handbags and clothes. Im tired of low balls and comments on my listings about where to get it cheaper. how expensive things are. I have written them down and will check them each time someone places an order. So you tell me who is being dishonest??!!!!!! Drop the price at least 10% and choose a shipping discount. She even supposedly sent them video proof. I am a top seller and poshmark ambassador and I too have been experiencing the worst customer service from poshmark. Have you tried Tradesy? My goal was to sell, unfortunately I shop. Ive started cross-posting items so I can have a wider scope of buyers and most of the time, Im more successful on ebay. The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. I already buy from wholesalers so if I could learn to do my own business an save the 20% fees or just deal with the headaches I deal with daily on Poshmark , SIGN ME UP PLEASE !!! I use my blog, social media, and Google Ads to drive traffic. or can I ask $25 if that what its selling for?/!! My pictures from before I sent the items dont reflect this any damage, and it took the girl 48 hours to decline the purchase. Not getting rich,never tried the parties,but I make a few bucks and spend a few. Most items I have sent tops , pants and shoes are less then 3lbs and normally would cost under $3.00 to send yet the buyer is forced to spend either $6.79 or $ 5.00 unless the seller wants to pay shipping. No response!! 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!!! They never got back to me. I hate they have a buyers protection in place and not a sellers protection. -bad packaging (i shipped in a clean box with a black interior. Guess what I got back? Its not what you make (Gross), its what You Keep (Net). I made a listing within my closet, never stating her name (1-bc her user name changed frequently) I simply used her stolen pics and showed fellow honest Poshers how to use Veracity. I try to clean out my closet before a new season starts, because thats when those stores are hungry for inventory and will be less picky. Two more things: If youre selling fakes knowingly, stop it. 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. There are some pretty simple fixes to your complaints and you just have to determine what you want to put your energy into! NOTE I have been selling on eBay since my now 16yo was a baby and still sell there. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I am still highly insulted and offended! No comments. I do not own anything counterfeit and am appalled that they falsely accused me of such an absurd accusation! They were withholding my direct deposit, I contacted the BBB and within a week I had my direct deposit. Also, I found a site that list all the names of scammers. When I clicked on the listing to put in for the return it said no listings available. I would love to check alternative ways to sell my stuff. Now, exactly a week after, I received an email from PM saying that after they have reviewed the case and photos submitted by the buyer, they have decided to deny the return request. The pricing model just doesnt work for me. So now Im out the product, the sale money, the return shipping, and any future sales because the item is basically trash. I had someone bundle 3 items which totaled $30 and offered me $6!! 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. My frustration goes both ways, as a buyer and seller. Thank you sharing this! However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. Hope everyone finds their happy spot. Poshmark literally tells them what to do to return an item. People offer half the price for a listing. Posh will also examine the pics you posted online and the description. Account - Poshmark I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. The low ballers are completely out of control & the amount of fake and replicas on posh are also out of control. Also if you go on youtube there are tons of videos on reselling, online business, etc. I have all 5 stars And I totally agree re: giant time suck. Im going nuts. I also wonder how they want you to add any evidence when a case is opened and posh does not even disclose what the case was opened for? Currently using Poshmark, but it needs so much improvement and yes, I put so much effort into packaging my items making sure each is clean and free of pilling, etc., wrapping in pretty paper, sending thank you notes, including little cosmetic samples and chocolates, etc, etc. Before Poshmark though, I sold on eBay for a time so Im no stranger to hard work. 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. But I wont. She claimed it arrived with holes in it. My screen name on Poshmark is pilotkelson1056, I stumbled across this article and while I agree with every frustration listed here, theres an entire other side to this (Im speaking from the seller perspective, Im there to make money, not spend it). I had the same bad experience. , 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? I end up making negative after the shipping, but I was just happy to help someone cause Im a nice person.What happens to me? It was great while it lasted. Wowthat was my very first sale. These are the people you rush to the post office for so you can get their item delivered ASAP, but thenonce they get it, they dont even bother tomark it as received. Needless to say ,her story touched my heart ,it looked like she had a lot of buyers so I chose her to make my wig. My "Meet Your Posher" Post is also missing. No worries. I originally planned to begin selling items, but when I discovered the 20% commission I changed my mind. I recently had someone buy some Nike shorts from me. True.. Poshmark will not side with you ever. Also, really hard to spot bad buyers as sellers cannot leave negative feedback (we used to be able to in the early days)! Please Help. New to Poshmark. Deleted listings. : r/poshmark - reddit She is a graduate of Columbia Journalism School and San Francisco State University. Hi Desiree! Well, Carlo O. hassled me for discount after discount on designer make up. They waste our time with reporting non-allowed items, which they dont address (please, dont waste our time! I have no way of getting my money back from PM. The support group way over exaggerated their sales, and gave young mothers the impression that they could do this and care for children and make 100,000-300,000 a yr. I had told them I was happy with the other items, and only wanted a refund for the damaged top, plus the money off that was promised in the description. Your submission to r/Poshmark has been removed because your account is too new or your karma is too low. After a couple of years hiatus on Reddit as well, I decided recently to check-in on the 2-most popular Poshmark subreddits. Therefore if you wanted 10 items from 10 different closets, you will be paying over $60 in shipping costs!! My Closet - Poshmark Seeing the number of comments here going on about what a shitstorm Poshmark is here just tells me to stay the hell away from it. It would be less frustrating if it were on an used item, but I have a buyer now reporting to poshmark that my brand new top with tag! I am in the process of closing my closet. 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. Im pretty much over Poshmark myself. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded.
