A lot of poshers also adopt the mindset of I know the right buyer will eventually come along. This is so cutewishful thinking, but cute. Now i did have one case opened up by a buyer trying to get something for free and Poshmark did not honor the buyers request at all. THEN he says ok well this isnt 3/4 full, its about If anyone else is interested, please message me or comment here because this SELLER ABUSE has got to stop. I really like this article! Im actually leaving PM this week. Glad you branched out to shopify. 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. I got it Friday after waiting 9 days for it and the label was cut off. Like, if youre going to run an online store, at least attempt to be professional/prompt. dont feed into all the games that are being played on Poshmark. It has been past the 7 days. if theres anyone who can speak to this, i need help! Everything stems from the top the CEO, Manish Chandra. Ive made some sales, but they have been pretty hard-won. 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!!! I am thinking of going back to EBay but havent sold on there in years since I got scammed when selling a Louis Vuitton wallet and the seller claimed they never received it, so I am very nervous!! 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. So in financial terms, there is a discount associated with the risk. It all makes me sad. So many sellers suddenly discovered it was the wrong listing when I accepted their price. And on eBay, feedback is public. I just opened my own Shopify store and would love to spend less time on Poshmark. I sent a complaint to poshmark service, but we all know how that goes. You have given me more to think about! I sold a brand new Pinup Girl dress there was not a thing wrong with it. Why do sellers turn down $5 less then thier countets? Because of those experiences, I am now extremely cautious when purchasing from places like Poshmark and eBay. But Im most worried about receiving an empty box or a different bag, as Ive heard horror stories by several other POSHERs. I do have a question though with you being so successful with the site; It does seem that to be successful on the site you have to sell mostly name brand, so where do ppl find these name brand items for low enough prices to mark them up high enough to make a profit? Of course poshmark sided with her and now the dress is been sent back to me. Which brings me to my next point. Under Reason #3; I love poshmark, but I have found the people on there to be very rude and hurtful. She would buy pallets from Auctions or jobbers that had 100+ units in them consisting of overstock New clothing, Returned items or irregular items from retailers that want to get rid of them from their stores inventories. It is simply not worth a seller's time and energy. They would rather you contact them via a listing than rate them bad so everyone can see it. They seem to take a quicker notice when you go to a third party for help! It's the newest way to shop and sell LIVE on Poshmark! I also dont get all the endless questions and headaches. The beautiful shirt showed up in my doorstep with a note of apology of sorts from the seller. 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. Ive heard a lot of similar complaints about fakes being sold on Poshmark. Love this thank you for sharing your opinion and experience. It's simple. Hi! As far as low ballers all you have to do is ignore them. I recently sold a pair of DISTRESSED AE skinny jeans in amazing condition (I considered keeping them for myself) & the buyer gave me a 3 star rating saying that the threads over the distressed holes were in bad shape. Like uhhh theyre distressed jeans so theyre meant to be that way?! I responded to Poshmark yet there was absolutely no support from them at all. No. Poshmark denied me the ability to buy forever when I paid $70 for Birkenstocks that did not fit, then found out I couldnt return them due to fit, then I wrote that my experience was a scam on the sellers listing. Bernice, I learned from my Poshmark mentor that you arent suppose to mention other sites like Mercari, etc. A punitive feedback system totally biased towards the buyer. If I get banned because of this comment. However, as the competition grows, it can be challenging to stand out from the crowd and boost your sales. These are basic financial concepts that apply to many other aspects of life. I could still tell myself that I was trying to declutter. I dont have a lot of experience with buying wholesale, as most of my items either come directly out of my closet or are things I pick up at consignment stores that either dont fit me or that I think a customer would like. Poshmark will sink or swim on this crap. And I agree with you on a free gift with every purchase. I stubbles across this today after a buyer rated me days after receiving her top. You certainly dont see anyone sending $5 offers to Macys, Target, or Zara, do you?. 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 ). Do you not think that sellers deserve to be compensated a little for their time and effort? Creeps asking for smelly socks with bacteria and toe jam. As far as the creepos, I was contacted by people who wanted me to sell them off site and kept contacting me and once I block them they created another account so that they could ask me suspect questions about another item and so thats one of the problems with these stalker-ish mentally unstable type of people. Hi , I have the same proble likie I have a open case with A free people dress ,and the buyer make a open case because is not authentic . In both of those cases, I had Posh cancel the orders and let the buyers keep the items for free because it wasnt worth it to me, but really if a case is opened against you once in every hundred sales or so thats not too bad. I totally agree that it is a huge time sucker which I end up neglecting my family for $25.00, does this really makes sense. My main reasons for abandoning this platform are: 1). Therefore, Poshmark does allow the sellers to file a follow up report if there is an issue with the return. I have over 700 on eBay and sell 75 plus items per month. So one has nothing to defend since left unaware?? 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 !! They do not deserve 20 percent of any sale and they clearly do not protect sellers. In my second purchase attempt, I followed up when the item was not shipped although two weeks had passed. I like people to be sure an she said it will fit just mail it to me ! I have a lot of luck with both Tradesy and eBay actually. Good Luck to all! Hi there! I have considered starting this myself (before something happens and I wished I had). It does make you feel good when you always receive a good review with a 5-star rating it just makes you love what you do even more. I still have my store but I dont do anything with it. I have thousands of dollars in retail or boutique merchandise, as they like to call it and no matter how much I share, how many hours I spend.. No sales! How do you get the traffic and the customers? 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. That is just disturbing! The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. And I have the clear pictures of the front and back of the item, so when zoomed in you would see everything . A buyer was interested and they negotiated a price. Google Ebay sides with buyers and you will get an eye full. They have never ever responded to me about anything in the past. I started again recently and noticed really good items I put up werent selling. Poshmark is refunding the buyers money because of minor skuff marks. Well they locked my account. 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! I get some of your issues. Most people would tend to think that I must have made a boatload of money, but NOPE. Im going to follow your advice and investigate other options. Shop gandalfgan's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Im glad I took the time to read these comments regarding these sites because now I can narrow down the ones to stay away from!! I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. Why do these people have profiles with no real photo of an individual? i sold a pair of authentic christian louboutin shoes w the box and dustbags.. now the buyer is claiming they are fake.. how do i deal with this? No negotiating, do not make lower offers. Thats not to say that the offer is the right one, or that you should sell for what theyre suggesting, but then again, is your listing colored by your love of the garment in question? I also had issues with women on there. I have now 250 items listed. If its used whatever you get is a profit. Apparently these people are only willing to pay $5 for ANYTHING in your closet, whether its an authentic hard-to-find Coach bag or a vintage Versace dress. None. I had someone bundle 3 items which totaled $30 and offered me $6!! Just looking forward to dealing with a site that doesnt say reduce your price and we will give discounted shipping for one hour. Oh and I too found a LOT of creepy fetish guys on there preying on sellers also nothing done by Posh. There was an issue with a wonderful jacket that I sold to someone. I wont stick around much longer . Im looking to compile a list of interested sellers so when the app launches Ill have plenty of sellers. I dont have a cat so I knew it was a BS excuse for didnt fit me. Poshmark, Tradesy, Thredup results show up in google shopping searches. Not sure why. I checked everywhere in their faq but found nothing on the subject. I deducted that they were probably too small for her. 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. Period. After 2 1/2 years and 60,000 followers later, I too am jumping ship (though will keep my closet open for as long as possible to advertise my Etsy handcrafts). They really only care about their super high volume sellers that sell junk (many are in China and are not restricted even with seller ratings as low as 93)! Reason #1. Hi @thetokensoul. Thank you so much for getting back to me. When Poshmark finally got around to a reply they told me they couldnt help me. The first week of not participating on this platform has been amazing and I wish Id done it sooner! That said, Im sure a class-action lawsuit for sellers interested in legal recourse would change Poshmarks tune becauseas Ive read in all these commentsthis is completely unacceptable and out and out THEFT. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Sent it to her after the weekend I get a note saying it was damaged and she wants to return. Feb 11 07:47PM. *Although they prohibit the use of AutoShare Bot programs, as with the non-allowable items, they do nothing about addressing the use of these. The Seller posted a picture of New With Tags No Box for a pair of Toms shoes I had been interested in. Does anyone know if the buyer returns the item damaged can you reopen the case? PROS: I sold a lot, barely any return or issues with sales or buyers. I would recommend starting with Tradesy and eBay. It annoys some sellers, and some wont even answer, but may save you trouble. It has left me mortified that trolls like this exist on this site and poshmark does nothing. I just save my time just ignore the low ballers, people who complain about shipping, or anyone else annoying.

I believe many of these problems could be fixed with genuine concern in the form of superior customer service. If its a brand I know and I know the sizing well etc, I will pay more because I know what Im getting. She claimed it arrived with holes in it. 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. I have had similar things happen on both eBay and Mercari. Thank you for providing all of us with a space to commiserate! If its working for you, by all means stick with it! Lucky for me, I requested it back, and I suppose Jessica wasnt as big of a douche as Taylor and didnt have the heart to send me an empty box back so I got the money after two weeks. Based on my eCommerce experience heres what I learned: 1.) I dont have time for this stupid back and forth game people play on poshmark with that ridiculous offer button so I just declined the offer and she went nuts! There you have it!

One lady bought a stole, then had the nerve to say it didnt fit like the picture. Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. Hope everyone finds their happy spot. I could go on.
