Well they locked my account. I am SO glad I found this thread & am getting more and more disheartened by Posh. Cause it wouldnt make sense if they changed the status of an item yet their activity on the app hasnt been marked. designer vs non-designer, hip/cool stuff vs regular stuff, vintage vs contemporary). I feel like I am being exploited. I sent them multiple pictures. I can hardly believe there are people who can sleep at night when they list these things for $48!

My new thing due to scammy people- I video tape with the label as I package it- take pics as well incase someone wants to try to say otherwise condition!! List them for pretty high prices that people are unlikely to want to pay for so you don't actually lose them, and if someone is actually willing to pay that much, then you can consider letting it go. NOT FOR SALE The frustrating part about the offer process is you can only write numbers, no words like : What is the lowest you would go? That way they and I both feel we got a good deal and the process would be much less of a time suck. Lowball offers on everything, nasty comments, you name it. I continue to ask the buyer to work with Poshmark directly to return and she keeps asking questions and complaining about the authenticity. First of all, WOW. Protection needs to be across the board for both buyers and sellers. Sold by papishoes. Some people use stock photos to draw people to their listings. But when I wrote to them about how as sellers can we be protected, I told them I removed over $27,000 in merchandise and I still have probably $60,000 to sell! Having been a broke college student, and offering what I believed to be fair on a pair of mittens I was slowly raising to find out what would be okay when I got suddenly blocked I think. If you have space in the listing, share how you would style it. This is only after they posted on my comments wall asking when I would be shipping the bag and incessant questions. I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. Thank you for your story, glad to see I am not the only one. Sad it has to come to that! It slows you down a little, but it has saved me on enough occasions for it to be worth it. Sorry meant to say very nice NEW designer items, above!

But my question is, How did you make the switch? What I mean by that is often time ebay will take the side of the customers over the sellers.

There is no health insurance, life insurance, 401K, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, advancement opportunities. But our customer proposition and our positioning hasnt changed over the years.. Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. Customer service sucks as far as them rep-emending these people for doing this. I cannot bring the fact that this harrassnent is still very sadly still happening in 2021 into light without mentioning that I am very appreciative and thankful for Poshmarks compassion, and their quick, and effective response to the severe harrassment I was receiving. Ive had a great deal of success on both. 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 ).

There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. I have no idea where else to sell it though I know you recommend Ebay but are there any easy alternatives which have more, appropriate, seller protection?

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? Has anyone here tried this, and does it actually work? So now Im out the product, the sale money, the return shipping, and any future sales because the item is basically trash. I was new- i agreed. I would try eBay and Tradesy before doing a Shopify account. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. Mind you that Ive had over 30 other sales with much more expensive items and never had this problem so it baffles me that then a user would think Id go and scam for $15 technically a $12 profit. Posh customer service is wishy washy coming to what they accept to return or refund. This may be the worst story Ive ever heard regarding a Poshmark return. ); 3). So far from the truth.

If you ready peoples complaints on ebay (buyers never paying, sellers canceling, fake items, etc) or any other place I feel like they are all basically the same. can't list on Poshmark and don't know why : r/poshmark - Reddit Honestly thought I would get same respect I give, and if not from the buyer; at least from posh support. As a very small time seller (only my own high end closet items), I spend a lot of time photographing and always ship same day. Thanks! Really, really good points! , 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? The same can happen on an online store with chargebacks and PayPal returns! So sorry you had to experience that! xx. Go find one of those and dont lowball a seller who has higher prices. Immediately I knew. So I wasted all that time and missed out on the item. Poshmark did not respond further. Did you get to take your followers with you? Naively. There is. So then I would have to lower my prices to make up for the exorbitant shipping. Not only am I tired of low ball offers. It all makes me sad. So one has nothing to defend since left unaware?? There should be somewhere to be able to report places like this. If you have any ideas as to whether or not anything can be done, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am pretty new to Poshmark, and have enjoyed shopping, and buying a few items. I just didnt have the strength to fight it, so I told Posh I would take the bracelet back. The pricing model just doesnt work for me. They sided with her and refunded the money. 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. After a couple of weeks I grew tired and depressed from following these communities on Reddit. Yes, there is still the good old fashioned consignment store, I sell on Mecari and saw a huge difference in sales from Posh. . I was a fulltime seller on ebay from about 2003 until 2007. I mentioned above a pay what you want sale. The most recent experience is awful. So they say, that money could be used to purchase other items!! Catch all the opportunities you can to answer questions, make offers, and so forth starting with those noted in your feed. So excited! That way there is no dispute! Uhm, this crap is par for the course in a retail environment. I had exactly the same issue with my listing returned back to me, even if I have a photos before wrapping the item, and sent to poshmark support for evidence that it was not the same when it got back to me poshmark will never take your side. Im fairly new to Posh. Think of a closet critique as being in the best interest of your business. Only *this* many words long. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. (Some of them). I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. She was ticked I insisted on $6 after she kept offering $4. I took great pictures, described the item honestly, even a picture of the label and took size measurements and posted them. The answering questions.

Best wishes to you all, and thanks for listing great items. But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. She also has comments from other poshmark accounts calling her out on being a bad seller and harassing them to which she responds by calling them names like whore and piece of shit. Its crazy and again poshmark does nothing. 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! It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! The low ballers are completely out of control & the amount of fake and replicas on posh are also out of control. Price gouging occurs when a seller increases the price of items to a level much higher than what is considered reasonable or fair. What are your thoughts?

I have had a bag removed from my closet because someone decided it was fake and reported it . One of my first pro Poshmark tips: do not just share at the beginning of the day and cross it off your list. Any tips on that? Theyre returned to me DAMAGED by the buyer- she STOLE the CC logo off the side of the sunglasses (she actually scratched/gouged it out with some sort of tool) and popped out a frame, cracking it. I put so many hours into PM for almost no outcome. I left feedback for the seller and gave her a 3-star rating. Like, if youre going to run an online store, at least attempt to be professional/prompt. Two of them never shipped. My 5th sale was shipped within 12 hours and this was a brand new pair of Electric Yoga leggings that were ordered online. I was just curious, what was the best way to post an move all your items listed to your new online store? I was So angry but took time to ask the seller more questions nicely bc I felt that she couldnt have not known bc the heel heights are so different I took them to the store she purchased from where they told me it was a defect..
