Also if you go on youtube there are tons of videos on reselling, online business, etc. I have been buying actively on Poshmark and also have a few sales. 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. 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. I would love to start my own site, but I have little presence on social media currently (working on it) and worry about getting the necessary traffic to make the monthly fees worth it. Dont get caught up in the rhetoric and politics that coincide with social networking. This is where SEO (search engine optimization) comes in. I got a lowball offer, counter offered, but the buy stood firm to her low offer so no sale. I decided to sell on Poshmark because I took a early retirement and wanted to do something Part-time on the side. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. Poshmark is only out for Poshmark. Reason #2. Then I got a few weird troll comments- thats when i learned there are a$$holes on there just out to be rude. This article has convinced me there are better options. On poshmark you can opt to receive your money by check, which is something that really attracts my attention. When I clicked on the listing to put in for the return it said no listings available. Expensive items seem risky for the buyer and the seller. I cant understand people who reduce prices to where they are making NOTHING on a sale. Wowthat was my very first sale. I felt really and until she started being rude. 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. Thanks for your comment. It definitely didnt. As sellers we put allot of effort into the app. Hi Joi! Well I wrote back and said there isnt anything in my closet for sale so Im not sure what you removed??? It would be a pain, it after the three days of inspection you could just delete the video. There customer service is horrible, especially for what they charge! If they try to interact with your listings, they will be notified that they've been blocked. Wow, that sux Kristine! 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. These scammers really make you lose faith in humanity! The only thing you can do is create a business structure and run your online stores just as you will your own shop one day. Hope everyone finds their happy spot. Both times the sellers did not ship at all. 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. And like I said in the post, it was just way too time consuming and soul-consuming when it comes to experiences like the one you had. Hmmm! My bag was ripped by the buyer (maybe she regretted her purchase). 10%. Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. They buyer opened a claim one day after delivery stating the bag is fake because she checked wiki and it the bag doesnt match what they say defines an authentic bag. Now I have someone asking me how I could sell it and not have the SOLD banner across it that Posh puts on when it sells. I would also encourage others to do the same that is the only way they will correct the fraudulent behavior!! After reading your horror stories here, I gather I am better of finding another outlet to sell my things. Thank you for the post. I guess if you get all your items for a $1.00 its worth it. I just got a response that basically said oh well. I was beginning to think I was going crazy. Yet, Ive heard nothing. I have not received them back yet (they are on their way) but cannot wait to see how the buyer accomplished breaking the soles and what was pored on the leather to make them sticky. Poshmark is a smartphone app. The high fees cover the advertisement, which attracts buyers to the site, according to Bellatory. Even ebay did a better job. I am shocked at the time women are willing to sacrifice for this one singular objective. She was rude and not what I wanted to deal with. funny that users name is cole, same as mine LOL, Awesome you reported it too! I found this article very enlightening even though its 4 years old. The really cool thing about it is that they are not penalized as long as the cancelation is made within the seven days allowed before shipping is required. Second. I cant even use Poshmark at all it wont even let me make an account. You wont obviously make any money but you shouldnt get kicked off Posh. Can you get scammed on Poshmark? Im new to Poshmark and sold my first listing! I think you have to understand why Posh usually sides with the buyer when they open a case. 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. Wow the same thing just happened to me with a $8 dollar dress, the buyer was aware of the damage and asked zillions of questions then purchased the dress which is a expensive item sold for $8 when she received it she instantly open a claim for $8 freaking dollars!! I have all 5 stars I would recommend reporting it to the local authorities, or Tweeting publicly to Poshmark to get a response. 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. The men and women who do this are to be commended, but again, their time is valuable, and are they compensated for it? Being spending hours listing sharing following to make $2.05. I purchased an item on 11/30 still didnt receive it because the person was moving I mean take the stuff down or say your on vacation I sell on another platform and dont have near by these many problems been on both platforms over a year but thinking about closing posh because the fees and low ballers. Ive taken part in hearting picking likes that style. What about Mercari? Transactions and let it be known on my post! Again described, photographed, and noted ALL damage! I wish I could wrap my head around why people are so unnecessarily rude. 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. Period. 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 can hardly believe there are people who can sleep at night when they list these things for $48! And then there is the time suck factor. So, Im done. Also, I had to raise my prices to make up for the fees so I couldnt really entertain offers. Thanks for sharing I dont feel like its just me. They need to offer more options on shipping. I think Im done with poshmark for now. Poshmark is such a joke of a business. It will pay off in the long run! Ha Ha Ha oh Posh purchasers! I have a buyer questioning the authenticity of a bag I sold herthat is after incessant questions about everything. 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. Another option is to delete and relist your item. Thank you for sharing your experience! Pants were fine when I sent them to her, wondering what she couldve done to them. And it takes days for a generic email. You put the boom in every problem Ive had. He was sadly a victim of the great Ebay Purge they did in 2013 despite top reviews and power seller status. The BBB is of no use because people pay for memberships to the BBB and it is a seller not a consumer based system. I even wrote a very nice message on her page apologizing, asking what I could do to make it right and she did not respond! I wish I would have known that sooner. I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. I take a lot of photos including closeups of what I am selling. Im slowly building a following and directing traffic to my ShopStylaphile.com through my blog and my social media sites. I was looking to buy one, and I really wouldnt mind if its damaged inside. I would recommend starting your own Shopify store or selling on Depop. It almost feels like I am being exploited and trapped in this nonsense! Seriously, these people except garage sale prices with high end department store quality. Im am OCD when it comes to selling on PoshMark. Declining a Poshmark offer first thing is not a good idea in my opinion, whether you're a buyer or a seller. I just started selling and already I seem to have gotten a fraud situation. Tap the flag icon below the comment and select the reason (spam, transaction off Poshmark, offensive comment, or harassment). iMessage. Most Posh sellers will tell others that the first thing that they do in the morning is share their Listings. Thank you so much for getting back to me. Very frustrating, Jeanette, I hope you see my comment. Poshmark is a mess. The time I spent on the Poshmark subreddits shows that theres still a tremendous amount of denial among Poshmarks most entrenched user base. Which is frustrating when you are dealing with a substantial sum. They fail to realize if it wasnt for the sellers they would not exist its not the buyers keeping them afloat. Gradually ebay swerved everything in the buyers direction. Tap on "Blocked Users." 4. The 25-year-old sells thrifted clothing and accessories through an app called Poshmark.

We are such a big trailer town food trailers, etc., that Im looking into a resale clothes trailer!!! The buyer haggled a lot on the prices, each item was listed low already but I accepted an offer and the buyer received all 4 items for just $16. i will be for now on or only going to sell locally and hand it off in person! Ive had to take half my closet down Bc of rude people ! Poshmark depends on certain balanced incentives to produce great growth.

I use social media, my blog, and Google AdWords to drive traffic to my site. I have not lost a case. Shes theatening with things like, Ill tell the truth about you What truth?

I am certain the support is not from inside the United States. I should have blocked her because I had a funny feeling. I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. That makes me uncomfortable! This way I am assured that I am covered if on the off chance someone else wishes to pull the same stunt! I know I probably should have just canceled the order but I figure everyone starts somewhere. We will see how this goes. What a joke! Any advice you could offer of how to get my good Poshmark buyers to buy from my own website outside of Poshmark? Wtf??? I responded immediately to the clam and again a day later but Poshmark has not had the courtesy to respond. even if its new with tags 99.9% bought it off the clearance rack and are trying to sell it at MSRP!!!! The jar was 3/4 full. If you approach this as a full time job and apply yourself to your career, you will see results. Thank you for making me feel I was not alone. The reply I received after that was all you had to do was contact me directly. I doubt that there was anything that I could have done about it at that point, since I had already accepted the purchase and it was almost four days by the time I was able to contact her, so Im not sure what contacting her would have accomplished. Jackie I had a similar experience! Hate the damn things. I opened my account on January 31,2017. Can you imagine doing $250,000 of business a year with a company, and them getting 12%, about $30,000 a year, and them not picking up the phone?

I know you have a rough road to go from when my husband was selling on Ebay. I hope they will get your money back for you very soon!!! Is this not consumer fraud? The time i put into posh was interferring with other things i need to be doing. Your story is nearly identical to mine just about 4 years later!

Quite often you can check out as a guest but not here. As far as online frustration I feel ya! Why did you accept the offer if you cant ship the item? The description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. I recently had an experience returned item that was messed up and totally used .I had photos to support that it was new and quality was good before the buyer sent it back used and crappy condition. If I waited to share my items at 5:30 a.m., I missed PoshMarks prime time hour. I guess its something new in their system, dont really know. I made a nickel off the whole deal & then she gives me a bad review, saying there was a kink in the chain (which we all knows happens) & when she tried to fix it, she broke it. Poshmark isn't all that bad there are a few benefits too! So as of right now I am out around $100. It looks like they just bumped the shipping to $6.95. As a result, I decided that I might continue to buy from Poshers, but would not open my own closet. By the way, my real name is Ann.

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. That way there is no dispute! I know for a fact its authentic but Im afraid if for some reason Posh allows the buyer to send it back I wont get MY bag but something else (or completely damaged). Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. I lost. They are to savvy to purchase on Posh!! What I mean by that is often time ebay will take the side of the customers over the sellers. Two days later they sent me another email inviting me to view a knockoff bag ( the seller used that term in her description ) and get it while it last. The low balling when stated as firm- yep. Its true! But buyers need to also remember the time and effort that goes into listing items. God forbid they side against a buyer. On the up side all have had a ton of nice people and buyers.. Im on the fence. Im new to poshmark and I was reading your article and Im actually glad to find something that describes the cons of the app. Reason #1. Def the worst I have heard!!

She hasnt responded and refused to accept the order even though it was her fault for not reading carefully. That looks like a phone number and his responses were in broken English.
