Thank you for the information about other options. If so how there are no email addresses to market to them. Emily, thank you so much for your comment. This way, the responsibility to ship it to their warehouse is on them. Last week, I sold a Coach bag in great condition other than a blob of clear nail polish that had dried on the interior zip pocket and slight wear on the embroidered CsBOTH of which were pictured and mentioned in the description. The 25-year-old sells thrifted clothing and accessories through an app called Poshmark. They have to review it Bc they have all acesss to any messages comments regardless the acct listings are gone or not.. they should finish their reviewing and hopefully refund you esp since the chick disappeared if the pictures make it look totally deceiving! In the most basic and general way, Poshmark is an app wherein customers come to buy new and used goods from other sellers. I have Traumatic Brain Injury, put so much time and money into Poshing. Poshmark reports more than 80 million users, with five million of those being sellers. Scammers often have large quantities of new designer products available all at once. ?Thanx,Lisa, I have to leave Poshmark. hi Interesting to read all of this. Two of them never shipped. That is just disturbing! (2) that I shop at sample/warehouse sales. I have been doing this for a year now with some success, nothing crazy but I have sold some things and I enjoy packaging the items with a thank you note and a little gift. Select the reason for reporting the user. Unfortunately I have not received a single package sent with as much care as I send mine. Borovic uses her earnings to make her $156 loan payment and it sometimes even pays her Ohio rent. Only 3 hours away, wish i was there! Lmao! Yes, if you count the number of hours you spend trying to sell a $10 pair of pants, you definitely havent earned a profit. I send in a request in December to become a suggested user and got no response. Hi Bernice, when I was active on Poshmark, I certainly cross-posted all of my listings to eBay and Tradesy. Anyone can join the site to be a buyer or a seller. Trust me, if you dont share your items, your 333,000 followers are not going to go in your closet and make an offer or BUY IT NOW. An interesting fact that my friends have pointed out to me regarding Posh (which is why they will never sell or buy from them): Chances of wanting several items from one closet is rare. I am getting tired already spending hours checking on PM for any sales, sharing and answering silly questions form buyers. We call this balance a growth loop. Poshmark is so fortunate to have this base. Tabitha, it is a HUGE time suck. Wow thats horrible! I have no idea how anyone can keep up with that. Sharing first thing in the morning. Not only am I tired of low ball offers. Do you find self advertising costly? The responses are way off the mark. Im glad Im not only honest person that was on Poshmark AMD had a crappy experience. What a piece of absolute garbage!!! Omg! Poshmark is a mess. I was so excited to try them on. I felt really and until she started being rude. The guesswork put into the algorithms of Poshmark is a job in and of it self. It has 60 million users, according to Poshmark's latest data report. Can I ask if your photo showed the item zipped up? No thanks. Thanks for the comment Angelica! Ill check into it now. I think its awesome you offer free returns. They do not deserve 20 percent of any sale and they clearly do not protect sellers. But the thing I couldnt understand they didnt look at the fact I been a great seller for 4 years, They shut me down completely. With your own site, you are responsible for driving traffic to it, of course. And certainly know that your bought purchase may end up being a donation as well. Usually I sell my items on Ebay, however I thought that my clothing might sell better on a site that was more targeted to, well clothing. Zero protection for the seller! Im glad to hear that it worked out for you though! I have been having these same problems ! And if you want to open up your own online store in the future, start building your social media following now. I dont mind doing the work but i believe i should at least be seeing some improvements on their part. I just need a shop I can promote myself, one that can help take payments and provide shipping info, All the best to you and wishing you abundant success in your business!! Thanks. I was such a motivated seller here, and accepted almost all offers even if I didnt even nearly get the deserved earnings. (I suppose thats a response I should have expected from a young girl with very little sense of responsibility) When it finally got to me, poshmark has missed that ALL damage was on one side & it was obvious that someone way too large had tried to stuff her arm in to the sleeve. It depends on the price of the item. I want something more plug & play. I also sold and item and received only a 4 star rating for no reason at all, I did everything right. Looking at her closet I see she purchases all sorts of jewlery for a super-low price only to turn around and resell it. Do they care? 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. And they do have a bad reputation for customer service. when it comes to protecting the seller I cant say that Posh has not protected me.Ive had I havent had a single sell! 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. I had a lot of my Poshmark items listed on eBay as well, and my Shopify store had an import from eBay function, which made it easier. Smh. Boom, done. It was good to get away for a month vacation and I am hoping to change my reselling strategy. I believe I have been scammee by a buyer and Poshmark ruled in her favor. Im so tired of dealing with trolls, low-ballers and snotty buyers. I certainly would never list an item with a faulty zipper. I cant understand people who reduce prices to where they are making NOTHING on a sale. Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. All the best to all you other sellers as well . A punitive feedback system totally biased towards the buyer. Instead of trying to grow your follower count, focus on figuring out which brands and styles are currently trending. Tradesy take all the responsibility for any returns. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. Thanks for all the great insight and perspectives. Im getting so tired of people not accepting orders just because they couldnt bother to read, not to mention the rudeness when products dont fit them! Dont respond back to me one said and then she kept going. NO complaints. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. Im tired of low balls and comments on my listings about where to get it cheaper. The jeans were brand new and never worn. The ridiculous amount of fakes sold on Poshmark is why honest people who sell authentic items get hosed and rated badly by people with buyers remorse or who scream fake when they have no idea how to check authenticity. They just changed shipping now to 6.89 and never contacted me about that! Poshmark Team Member continues to write back after a period time saying REPLY to this Email and gives me a different to Date to reply back if I have not received the package. iMessage. She ruined my perfect 5 star rating with a one star. Blocking a user is an easy thing to do, so let's look into the hows and whys of doing so. I only do this for high- end items. 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. I have literally dropped prices down to the absolute bare minimum and I still get offers that make me loose hope in humanity. I have a successful online store but some weeks I kill it on posh more than my store! Im curious to see if your still successful using shopify or if your thoughts are still the same. And let me know how it goes! So, I quit and went to eBay. I went into their site but find it hard to understand. Best of luck and let me know how it goes! Well give it a few more months and see if its all worth it. But then I read BigCommerce and the others will automatically integrate with Instagram and create my Instagram shopnot sure. Lol. I wrote to Manish in hopes that he can see for himself how vulnerable we are to these predators. I did the same thing when I first started selling. Ive sold 5 things on posh. 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!!! If its used whatever you get is a profit. Theyre not gorgeous, staged photos theyre photos for record. Okay, brace yourselves, women! To answer your question, most of the items I started selling in my Poshmark closet were things I had bought for myself and no longer (or never) wore. Im fairly new to Posh. It has left me mortified that trolls like this exist on this site and poshmark does nothing. NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS AT ALL!! Poshmark is run by tech bros, who have no fashion sense. Thats just a fact. I recently took a early retirement and I have been a part of running successfully several businesses and I believe the number one problem with Poshmark is the high shipping fee. As suggested above, I will videotape placing the items in the box. Some girl ruined my swimsuit and then Poshmark return it to me. I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! Thats where wed all benefit! I realize Poshmark customer service is very rude and do nothing to help! Louise, I havent been very active on the site in a while so Im unaware that are postings like this out there. eBay is certainly not without its headaches. Im done with them! I cant invest anymore of my valuable time is some MANIPULATIVE website thats made up fancy language about sharing POSH LOVE and other B.S. Why the fuck would the seller change the rating?!!??! And Id advise using social media to drive traffic to your site as well. Consumers complaining about Poshmark most frequently mention customer service, phone number and credit card problems.Poshmark ranks 32nd among Consignment sites. The list is endless. Well then she changed her story and only asked a store 7 hours away how to tell if a bag is a replica. Great idea! Have been selling and buying (a lot more buying LOL) since March, just to clean out my closet and re-sell nicer items that I just dont wear anymore. I was on Etsy for four years, sold 1500+ items, all it takes is one bad apple customer to complain and shut down your shop permanently. Ugh frustrating but not losing hope! My daughter suggested I go to Poshmark and my criticism besides the constant socializing which is not my cup of tea, is they charge too much for postage in general, and you cant call them that I know of. Im down RANTING now AN Im glad it wasnt just me deal with this stuff ! Their fees are higher, but totally worth it to me. Poshmark has since suspended my account, which is another issue, but should have no impact on my ability to cash out my earnings. They were orgininally in a bundle but one of the shorts in that bundle got bought by another seller so in the description I made sure to explain that those shorts were sold and reflected it in the price ($10 for each). They asked me for pictures which I sent. Ive had far more positive reviews than negative but lately a huge influx of negative when I havent done anything different. The same can happen on an online store with chargebacks and PayPal returns! Hi Gina, Ive actually gotten traffic to ShopStylaphile.com from Poshmark because I created an image stating that my closet had moved and posted it in my Poshmark closet. Stylaphile I am done with Posh too because Posh ALWAYS sides with the buyer and there are NO seller protections!! He emailed posh asking them what criteria do they look for that constitutes a fake? As a buyer, Ive been blocked for asking respectful questions about a product I am neither able to preview nor return. Same with Free People. Ive been called names plenty. Never knew that cool! There's a built-in buyer community. What about Mercari? Seriously. Great post! Ha, like that will ever happen! I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. 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. $300 down the drain. I blocked her and removed the entire listing ( since you cant remove the offensive comments) On the other flip of the coin I had a very sweet lady who had bought from me a few times in the past purchase several of my smaller items and tell me that although she didnt have a need for any of the items , she wanted to help. How can so many people have tons of Zara in their closet that they are selling so inexpensively? I just had as case open for me exaggerating the so-called flaws I didnt describe. Just make it automatic. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? So far from the truth. Hope to hear from you soon, in the meantime have you thought about Traders village as a viable and affordable option for store ownership? Once a user is blocked, they will not be able to Like, Comment, Make an Offer, Share or Purchase any of your listings. I had received an email from Poshmark stating that a case had been opened because the buyer stated that an item was "broken, damaged or stained.". So I thought ok Im safe Ill turn it on and prove that it works. Ive made some sales, but they have been pretty hard-won. If you pay what they are asking, list it for the msrp they suggest, then wait for an offer and Posh taking 20%, you might make a couple of bucks or break even! Thanks for making me feel better about my over reaction! Posh approved her case and the bag came back to me ripped to prove her case and support her photos. Most of the advice was to ridiculously raise prices in order to corner the market. Transactions and let it be known on my post! . Im so glad I found a place with similar stories. She waited too long to return it. So not sure if its their revenge on me? I did request the reinstatement of my buying and selling privileges on Friday. Now I have a lot more control over what Im selling and I dont have to pay Poshmark fees or a 20% commission to anyone. Makes the item virtually impossible to sell and the seller is screwed. Or buyers that damage the item on purpose. This site/blog still remains the only place where folks can get critical information regarding Poshmark. As you said with the item you sold that was return, it takes time to take photos, answer questions and ship the item only to get a return. I am ready to close down my account already! eBay and places like it will almost always side with the buyer over the seller because of one fact : sellers are easier to get than buyers . Also, I guess since she neglected to mention this defect (by simply omitting it) she didnt misstate anything. *Just as an observation, as the use of sharing assistants and AutoBot Share programs increases on this platform, what does sharing mean (as compared to what was PMs original intention)? I hate they have a buyers protection in place and not a sellers protection. Sad it has to come to that! Tell me, how can one judge a black polyester dusty bag with Chanel silk screened On it, real or fake?! My goal was to sell, unfortunately I shop. I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. Gradually ebay swerved everything in the buyers direction. I wont be on here much longer. Poshmark Didnt care about my item and they give me just $10 when the bag cost $70 on my posh! To have a damaged item thats not even yours returned to you, no questions asked, with no recourse for the seller? Im sure she just didnt like the item and wanted a refund. I know you have a rough road to go from when my husband was selling on Ebay. Then a girl went off on me about my pricing- telling me I cant list things so high- etc.. ? I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Ive had friends try it on too with the same comment. The men and women who do this are to be commended, but again, their time is valuable, and are they compensated for it? I am an honest person and would never think about trying to rip someone off. Also, a lot of people have luck selling on Instagram. My first four sales were all shipped within one day and I received 5 star ratings for all of them. Poshmark of course is siding with the buyer and then notified me that I was in danger of loosing my membership because of my response to the buyer telling her that this was impossible and completely rude.now that treat me like bully. And they are wicked. And I did. Poshmark does charge sellers a fee. And it turned out that for me, it wasnt. Then you have to wait 3 days for your funds to be released. Of all the online apps Ive ever used, Poshmark customer service is by far the worst. I sold luggage, clothing, measuring equipment, lathes, air compressors.about $250,000 of sales a year my company did on ebay. I went out of my way to be nice to this buyer and she says that. Once I received notification of the accusation and reply to Poshmark through email and phone, despite my great reputation on the site, I got no response and had the item returned to me. Thanks for your comment. And I havent had that happen to me before but that def is pathetic upon their part. I was appalled as this had never happened to me before! Before college i have sold things here and there but since the storm im particularly desperate. Run your closet how you want OP 19 Reply YouKnowHowChoicesBe 5 yr. ago On poshmark you can opt to receive your money by check, which is something that really attracts my attention. Im @silverrusty. I am so sorry to read this. Thanks! Ive been doing okay overall It hasnt caused me to throw the towel in just yet but it was definitely better than Ebay . Is this not consumer fraud? Reading it now.
