Apparently it doesnt have a YKK zipper and she says thats what makes it fake (keep in mind at first she gave me a couple other reasons before the zipper) and doesnt understand that they use different brands and finding that info is very easy! If anyone knows of a platform for that Id love to know. Very informative and inspiring post! But Poshmark sided with her an thats total crap ! LOL POSH took down all my listings for no apparent reasons im done with this app. And I no longer can post it as new. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. 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. Well, I tell Poshmark and they say that I received the shoes as stated in their ad and that shoe sizes can vary. They waste our time with reporting non-allowed items, which they dont address (please, dont waste our time! I am pregnant now and really emotional, I even cried like a child over this. Also the new scam is just to say an item isnt authentic when they wish to return it. Every single one of my sales (I have 186 listings) has received 4 and 5 stars (only 2 received 4 stars and Im assuming because the itemsboth of which were brand-new and never wornsimply didnt fit) and rave reviews/comments/love notes. I ship from a smoke/pet/odor free home, wrap items in tissue and include a handwritten thank you card in clean packaging. I, fortunately, only bought one on the Last One Reduced Price Listing by a Boutique Posher. I never had these problems when I used other sites for selling but then I sold a lot less. God forbid they side against a buyer. The best way to deal with Poshmark lowballers is to stand by your pricing if you need to, but be prepared to walk away from offers that are not worth it. This is probably just a user who is looking for the ultimate bargain, the queen of all power trips and is consequently attacking your item to get it. I found two types of trolls exist on Poshmark. Its like you said low ballers trolls and I had high end designer stuff with tags I felt like I had to lower my prices and those parties never got me any sales I am leaving too, You really hit it on the nose! Required fields are marked *. At midnight my husband would say Are you still poshing? I suddenly realized that all the time I was spending being social on Poshmark was keeping me from doing other really productive things in my life, like exercising, writing, and spending quality time with friends and family. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. Sellers name: amking45, (1) 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. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. Does anyone know if it is OK to list the same item on other websites that you have listed on Poshmark or is it exclusive to Poshmark? Poshmark can be a great business opportunitya potential side gig blooming into something moreit could happen. I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! Well, Ive still got some stuff to ditch. I looked at her page and there are several comments from sellers saying that she made low-ball offers that they just cant accept, etc. I had the same bad experience. They have never ever responded to me about anything in the past. I dont think poshmark is worth it as a buyer or a seller. Im a new buyer who is thinking about quitting. I feel like Poshmark has become either for high-end $1000+ handbags or for cheap stock picture things from China that in real life is usually NOTHING like the picture AND has f** up sizes. Lol If its a lowball from just a buyer? Now a message to all that takes the time to read this!! Then it seems as if only certain people share certain people items. These are men who have found Poshmark and created accounts just so they can ask you to model that pair of high heels or that tight dress. I just had as case open for me exaggerating the so-called flaws I didnt describe. Its just business. I dont know too many things that are just off about POSH! talk about a time suck! 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. Oh, and all those sales of counterfeits amount to sales growth and the 20% fee on each of those sales adds up increased revenue. You will have to either spend a ton in ads or have one heck of a social media following already built if you want to get real traffic. One of the embassador Poshers bought my Burberry rain boots for $50 (a great deal), and later on filed a complaint saying that the boots smelled horrible and that they had stains and blah, blah, blah she even said that she wanted to keep them at no cost even though I asked her to return them for her money back. Infinitely more. Go find one of those and dont lowball a seller who has higher prices. Recently, I private offered a Prada bag that was already 40 percent off my original price (and that was 70 percent off retail; my original price was less than others are asking.) Hi Dee! With all the book expenses and tuition i tried making extra money on the side. Plus there is incredible lack of insight and common sense among sellers & buyers. 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! She found an inconspicuous spot to soil the jacket. However, if also seems like the last year has been miserable on Posh. They need to offer more options on shipping. There are too many unethical buyers, trolls and Poshmark scams. I always ask two or three questions. OMG!!!!!!! Make *these* kinds of comments. The most recent experience is awful. Etc. from my research of the Posh parties everything I read up on them said that the posh leaders of the parties mainly promoted their own product and that very few people got a lot out of the Posh parties so again bc time is limited for me I do not bother to participate. Hi, Even worse, now I see so many overpriced items that I have to stop myself from lowballing which means I buy much less on Poshmark than in the past. Which is to say, sometimes as mentioned, your pricing may be a little off. Whenever you make a counter offer you have to be ready to walk away from the sale, because you may not get another offer for several months and three months from now when the item is still in your closet you may regret not accepting the offer you previously received! What a piece of absolute garbage!!! Thats where wed all benefit! All I want to do is make a little extra money without donating. In this, Read More 5 Secret Hacks to Boost Your Poshmark Sales in 2023Continue. posh is crap. Hope that helps! To assume that theyre all men is just not fair & I would guess,not entirely accurate.

Can you please tell me more about it. A few weeks later, she came back to me with a better offer, which I considered reasonable, but I will not ship on OfferUp, so there went that sale. 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. Even ebay did a better job. Im listing to make more than a few bucks! I do follow new people weekly & share my listings but I was just hoping the app would do more of the advertising for me I guess. 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 feel the creepiest aspects of the platform is the psychological manipulation of requiring resellers to share (presenting it as a positive community activity sellers supporting other sellers) so that the mysterious algorithm will reward them with sells; sharing equals free labor driving the activity of the platform, which the same resellers pay more to use than other selling platforms. Its the whole point of the offer option, isnt it? One was my mistake and I missed something very minorit was probably knit-picky, but fair enough. I wish the authenticators on PM knew how to authenticate!! Ive been really happy with their decision-making once I learned I wasnt powerless in the face of a handful of unscrupulous buyers.

Because they provided a different label they have somehow messed up the payment, but no one will help.

Hey Kaitlyn, we too were hit hard by Harvey, loosing both cars and a huge amount of personal property that we can never get back( like family photos, and other sentimental treasures) seeing as how not only do we rent our apartment, but we also have no flood insurance, we had lost hope that we would be able to get any kind of help to survive this tragedy.

I still have my store but I dont do anything with it.
