I wont stick around much longer . Well its the old didnt read description re stains. Guess what I got back? Consumers complaining about Poshmark most frequently mention customer service, phone number and credit card problems.Poshmark ranks 32nd among Consignment sites. Hmmm! Its not fair. Welcome to Poshmark! I put so many hours into PM for almost no outcome. Along with that I made mention of my experience with a word of caution to other serious Buyers, such as myself, when ordering from you, amking45. Me and poshmark have a love hate relationship I love the fact that I can make money without all the footwork but the thing I despise is the fact they have full control over my closet. Like eBay and PM are platforms that people go on to shop, but how can I get my online store in front of potential customers? After being an active seller for 2 years, and then quitting cold turkey, it was only then that I realized that it felt like I had been in a cult. Please read the description as well as the comments. Although when I replied I didnt contact them though customer service email, there is a drop down on the sales page that allows you to access the original case and the email goes to the investigator. Ill definitely look into Tradesy, DePop, etc., but think a class-action lawsuit against Poshmark will prove the point quite nicely. I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. Does she have something to hide? When I first started I loved it but now with the Low Ballers or people asking a million questions even if its the middle of the night, Ill reply ! And I totally agree re: giant time suck. Never again mercari. I have a Louie Vuitton handbag that I was going to put on Poshmark, but I wont do it now. Sorry to hear about your experience on Poshmark. I would recommend reporting it to the local authorities, or Tweeting publicly to Poshmark to get a response. WIthin 4 weeks I sold 48 listings with 5 star ratings with over $600 in sales. 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!! There is also too much room for miscommunication and understanding. As the founder and CEO of womens social commerce site Poshmark, he said that the bodies in the e-commerce graveyard will continue to accumulate, but hoped his company will be one of the survivors. Blocking someone is doing what you can to make yourself happy. eBay gives you 12. Yes I left poor feedback. So, I made a nickel, she admitted to breaking my item & im stuck with a 1 star review I totally feel you. As a buyer Im very frustrated now with sellers who post but never provide any detail of the items (when it only takes a second to measure), those who send damaged goods and those who take my money and never ship at all. Two brand new items never worn still with tags and in boxes, 2 star rating one left a note saying more than gently used I asked her to please explain to me- no response! My suspicion is that she put a cat on the dress to cause snags!!! Great article and thanks for sharing. I have sold about 600 items on posh so not a power seller but trying. Were you able to retain some of your Poshmark customers with the move (which is one of my biggest concerns as I have a log of repeat business with the vintage jewelry that I sell)? How about silly girl talk on a rainy Sunday afternoon? My best advice is to list your items on PoshMark and leave the Crushing, sharing listings and Pavlov dogs to someone else and get on with enjoying your life. 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! Just people on facebook also pissed off that they cant create an account in the first place. If they decide with the buyer, typically they send them a label and they are responsible for sending the item back to you. In the 4th month I hear back from Posh stating because they believe the sunglasses were fake they cant help me. I went on to Etsy focusing on mid century selling & shipping items to production companies and decorators when they were on a time crunch to success. This recent one was because of undisclosed odor. LOL eBay is the best way to go in my eyes anymore or Facebook community yardsale. I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. Had one guy that put $300 of stuff in his cart and offered me $50. I hate that people are being scammed and the sellers appears to have made a few thousand dollars. Then there are the pervert trolls. So sorry that happened to you. I feel poshmark staff needs some kind of guide book to fallow. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. I wish I could wrap my head around why people are so unnecessarily rude. Thats ridiculous! Who do they restrict? I have been on posh for 6 mo. If the cost of the item is higher than $15, Poshmark takes a 20 percent cut. End of story. Sad it has to come to that! No comments. When I finally opened the package, I discovered that there was not one, but two stains, one on each side and that they were not only very large perspiration stains, but very noticeable. These people are unbelievable. To have a damaged item thats not even yours returned to you, no questions asked, with no recourse for the seller? The unfortunate story is- now I have a ripped handbag and it was smashed into a small package which also ruined the shape. I posted a beautiful peridot necklace for way cheaper than it was worth. Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. It was brand new!! Do they care? With that being the issue I didnt want to be on their site anyways, who would support people taking advantage of others. aint nobody got time for that as sweet brown would say. I had a buyer try to sneak different items into a bundle after we had negotiated. At this moment, they still have the wrong name of the bank associated with my bank routing number. Nothing. How can so many people have tons of Zara in their closet that they are selling so inexpensively? I also didnt like that the shipping was the same price no matter the item was. I have many complaints about poshmark, but lowballing for $7 shipping doesnt make sense(?!). These clients I built a trusting relationship with couldnt find me. I want to open my own shop but am unsure as to how i can get myself out there(i dont have any personal social media). I sell very good quality custom jewelry on fb. Thats obviously not happening, so I only made clear the simple fact that this item was not sold, although it is listed as sold. I have had it authenticated on a coach forum and also directed her there to ask her own questions and concerns so they could show her what makes it authentic and also pointed her to information/articles. Poshmark is undeniably one of the best reselling platforms out there, with tons of items available from different closets. This IS NOT the bag I soldyou cant even see the entire bag shes claiming is mineand yet Poshmark approved the return! Expensive items seem risky for the buyer and the seller. I recently found a couple of buyers that made me rush to send their packages, only to give me a 2 star rating because the item , in their opinion, wasnt as described. Posh Jail prevents you from sharing listings and stops you from following people. So I asked if I could please see photos of the actual jacket. They were withholding my direct deposit, I contacted the BBB and within a week I had my direct deposit. Now a message to all that takes the time to read this!! Im glad Im not only honest person that was on Poshmark AMD had a crappy experience. A lot of people were interested and someone bought it almost immediately. I think Ill keep it that way! Thanks so much! Took a huggggee break on there. That would leave me with 2.50 not enough to buy the tape to close your box, lady! 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 am pregnant now and really emotional, I even cried like a child over this. And physical retail stores? Reading this helped me so much. Example, this one chick offered me $15 on a pair of Tom Ford leather boots in like new condition, ($15 on a pair of $3,400 boots i had priced at a very reasonable $300.) Maybe I should just take all my inventory and have an awesome bonfire at the beach. Bethany I agree with you. I havent done anything wrong. I decided to sell on Poshmark because I took a early retirement and wanted to do something Part-time on the side. I must have sent them 25 messages explaining that I do not use a cel phone and cannot get texts and to verify me an alternate way. so when I see people sooooo overpriced on PM. (3) So now trying poshmark and sure enough had my first 5 dollar offer. Unless you can actually make it your full time job, its best to just sell your clothes in person or by mail and be happy with whatever you receive. Besides all the fake purses, etc., I wonder about fake clothing. Its distressing to hear that now it is an issue to delete your account. If you want to keep selling, you need to avoid getting caught. Alexandria. I turned the entire page and listings into posh so hopefully they will just terminate the account. I know he is doing this to get a refund.he has already opened a case with PayPal and now has been harassing me It seems Poshmark has allowed greed to corrupt their business ethics. That Too! These women go into closets and post pictures of an item and others proceed to criticize every aspect of the listing. I sell ONE or TWO items per week. Amen. I have this terrible feeling i will never get my bag back! I just sent a package on Friday and, I assume because of Christmas time, the post office hasnt scanned the item yet. Go to your settings by tapping the three lines in the upper left-hand corner of the app. I told Poshmark to send it back because I didnt want to have someone like that having my beautiful necklace. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. This is when they still owned Paypal. I try to gather up really large bags of things in great condition so its not a waste of my time taking the subway and waiting in line (pre-pandemic, now you have to make an appointment or drop off and come back later). To block a user: Go to their closet. Happy poshing! I want my buyers to love what they get. I would recommend starting your own Shopify store or selling on Depop. .My latest issue is being locked out of my account. In my, meet the posher page I identified my closet as, not boutique, not thrifted that was it. I was PISSED! Only *this* many words long. 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 work full time plus some and am a single mother, so I pass up time wasters as much as possible. I am a very active seller on Poshmark, but I had a buyer damage a coat because it didnt fit. I re-emailed them and informed them that I did everything as I was supposed tothat they chose to ignore me during the initial contactand that both these items fall within their return policies: 1) not authentic; 2) not as described. Either way, its disgraceful that Poshmark clearly doesnt take into account the integrity of its sellers (all my items are brand-new with tags, NWOT or in pristine condition from my own personal closet) or their track record. 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. We are the ones that helped you grow. Is EBay worth it? Sending support & positive vibes Brianna. I found it unethical that they let that Header on my news feed, because it basically deceived me into thinking I had free shipping. She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. True.. Poshmark will not side with you ever. I dont want to continue with a company that operates this way but I also like the easiness of listing and that the shipping is paid for by the buyer and that Poshmark provides a label. The most frustrating issue for me is, people dont know the difference between NEW UNUSED and excellent used condition, or pre-loved condition. I want to be able to ask the lowest prices possible and this 20% commission would force me to jack up prices in order to make a small profit myself. Im done for good this time. Have a super fab week!! Ive had far more positive reviews than negative but lately a huge influx of negative when I havent done anything different. They didnt even answer his question! On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! Sad. I hear time and time again from other poshers that there isnt no seller protection. I have only had 3 cases opened and 1 was for sending the wrong size shoes and the other was for sending the wrong color shorts both were my mess-up and i honored the return no problem at all. Perhaps in your description you need to mention this is good quality and not the fake photos over seas sites steal that send you junk that looks and fits nothing like their pictures hence why their price is so low- youncan add this is not a bad quality replica as China sends and steals photos of. As for me, Etsy became too social media forward and very time consuming, so Ill stick with Ebay for now. Then it seems as if only certain people share certain people items. They expect everyone to be techies, I dont have a printer and they require a printed label. or can I ask $25 if that what its selling for?/!! Thank you. The ridiculous reason why!? Reason #2. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed they are taking a higher amount of taxes out of sales than the actual state rates? Most people would tend to think that I must have made a boatload of money, but NOPE. You can determine a set amount you want to spend each day with AdWords, so the budget is up to you. Im going to carefully look at their closet and if its crap, I wont sell to them. I have blocked someone for advertising THEIR closet on one of my items. Best of luck and keep me posted! Sorry for those bad encounters, but thank you for the heads up!! 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. The easiest way to have a comment removed is to mark it by tapping the flag icon. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! I also block them. If there was any communication with the buyer prior to purchase I also screenshot that and show it. Thats where wed all benefit! The items were an UA shirt, TWO Victorias Secret Pink shirts plus pink dog, pink bag and ribbon, AE shorts and this Packers shirt. If you have any ideas as to whether or not anything can be done, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also been on Poshmark nonstop as well since starting my own closet. This time trying to clean out my junk drawer, I sold a pair of older damaged Chanel sunglasses, including their case and cleaning cloth for a steal of a price because they were worn; frames were solid but lenses had scratches. I just shipped out a new, unworn item to the buyer who obviously decided they didnt like it and claimed it was worn and with pilling! I stubbles across this today after a buyer rated me days after receiving her top. Poshmark is the world's number one reselling app for apparel and accessories - putting it's user-base at upwards of 60 million. Thank you SO MUCH for this post. However, it takes some strategy and a whole lot of dedication to get to where top Posh sellers are. Just browsing through the brands, i was horrified by multiple posts in 10.Deep that appear to be selling people or offering their services. But most alarming was a picture of a young boy with the user name listed as hump87. But what I found in that package was TRULY DISTURBING. Ive been selling on Poshmark in a niche market vintage. If you want to net a profit $29.00 for an item, best list it for $88.00 because Poshers have no Shame trying to get something for nothing. 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. You also can send the pictures to posh and have them disput it, and refund you or have you send it back to her. Hi Diana! I dont have many followers and Im new to selling online.
