I have blocked someone for advertising THEIR closet on one of my items. They told me to ask the BUYER to change it. It may be slow but I kind of like the process of it all, you know? Starting my own business. I reported a big replica closet every day for 6 months as well as sending in emails with attached screenshots of angry, ripped off customers leaving comments re: fakes they were sold. There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. I think I will check out Tradesey and maybe your idea as well . And since I have more time behind me than in front of me, I cannot rationalize wasting that time on poshmark. The time is waaaay too much unless you are a high school student. But thats ok I will take my business elsewhere! SO FRUSTRATING!!! I have been looking for a way to open my own online thrift/consignment store to sell basically anythingnot just womens handbags and clothes. (3) So,I message posh. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. Period. I have no recourse and feel I was scammed. The girl picked an area on the side of the sleeve (not visible unless I took a 360 picture) of this jacket to soil it. I was complaining to my bf and he wanted to help out. I am beyond livid. I spend countless hours researching products. I get a lot of traffic to my ShopStylaphile site through my blog, Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram accounts. Its great for the handful who do make money but its antiquated in its design and their cut is highest Ive encountered. Jessica, youre not the only person that has happened to. or Posh will flag you and shut you down. The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. Sad. The ends of the zipper teeth didnt line up. It has been past the 7 days. 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. You can come back from jail (and we'll touch on exactly how you can accomplish this later in this same post). The buyer received and said they were not as described. Posted my 5 items and all sorts of people started following and sharing me and I immediately sold one item. Why do people take it so personally? that I shop at sample/warehouse sales. WOW- I too just had a similar experience (your #1 Reason) with Poshmark I was contacted by Poshmark the buyer received the leather shoes and was reporting that the sole of the shoes were cracked and that the shoes were sticky. I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who felt this way about Poshmark. Before shipping the item I was asked to verify the size as they wanted a photo of the tag. Havent made any sales in a few weeks and today Ive made 4 out of no where. Im down RANTING now AN Im glad it wasnt just me deal with this stuff ! I am completely disappointed and how PM has handle the situation and will not sell on their platform anymore. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. Well, Carlo O. hassled me for discount after discount on designer make up. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. NOT GOOD. Can anyone suggest how I can get my money for this? She hasnt sold anything yet from her closet. An app where you can load a pic and it will tell you if it can be located anywhere else on the internet. Not worth the headache. When Poshmark thinks an account is controlled by automation, it sends the account to Posh Jail. Again I contact poshmark to stop her from harassing me and ruining my image on poshmark. When I saw the photos, it looks as if the stitching snapped as if they tried it on and broke some parts of the stitching, I only say this because the new loose stitching appeared at the waistband and knee. Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) It was in perfect condition. Also on her page I noticed she sells replica Louis Vuitton which is against poshmarks guidelines but again theyve done nothing. I swear and know it, some people do it just Bc they dont like what theyre receiving and find a way to send it back just to get out of it and ruin your products. This person just received the top and either didnt like it or found out it didnt fit her and wanted her money back. Unless you have a boutique and thousands in inventory, you arent going to make much. Much to my dismay, they didnt require him to return the item. Poshmark ended up accepting their side of the story and allowed the return. Thanks for sharing I dont feel like its just me. If someone will not post extra pics or answer whether an item is authentic, then you know its fake. 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. So much has not changed. I wont be on here much longer. ~Peace and Purple rain, friend~. Still cannot seem to delete my account though, and really dont want to be associated with a company who is not accountable to their sellers, has no basic business ethics, and ridiculous customer service. I think Im ready to quit poshmark too. However, some sellers elect to place an item as "Not for Sale," a feature that clearly tells buyers which listings are no longer available in your closet.This includes items sold in bundles, reserved listings, notes, or purchases that you just want to share with other Poshers (#PoshFinds! They gave the buyer back the money. 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!!! Posh happily accepts my 20% fee and wants us to Share the Love. People have commented how cute their packages are when they arrive. Unfortunately, I didnt catch it before I hit accept. She took another photo and it was the dress with a tag hanging down from a distance. I feel stuck. The item was immediately tossed. The seller can get their item back and re-list and move on. Happy selling to you all! So this $185 dress which I sold for $95 is ruined!! And I got endless questions on every item, even though I had described it completely. Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. So I now have a typed note that I include in my thank you note with any purchases! The 20% is way to high. You have given me more to think about! It would be a pain, it after the three days of inspection you could just delete the video. Hi Desiree! If you dont mind me asking, how did you get your traffic back to your site? While my sales have picked up, I still get the ridiculous Lowballs like we are at the flea market, and there are times I get infuriated. 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. I submitted pictures, but said I refused to touch the item. I will now only buy on TheRealReal. Thanks for understanding, Janet. Well, that is all well and good for you, but there are people who *do* want to make real money. Thank you for this post and saving me the time and aggravation of going through it all over again. Ive been on Poshmark for awhile and just started selling within the last four or five months. There is a lot of work involved as far as driving people to your site via social media, blogging and adwords, but its well worth it because its YOUR site and youre not having to deal with the BS on Poshmark. and telling me that she knew where i got my stuff and that i shouldnt mark up so much and it supposed to be sold for cheap.. so I reported and blocked her. Thats how Ive been able to increase my traffic. I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. I sold a pair of boots. I would write in my description Final Price and Price is Firm, but Poshers would still offer me $5. They do not care about the seller and honestly I dont even think anyone there speaks English. Time will put this poorly conceived and terribly run business in its proper place. I decided to move to Instagram as Shopify is excellent but you need to know some HTML. I decided that, if the stain was barely noticeable, it wouldnt matter if I was unable to remove it and I went ahead and purchased the dress. eBay gives you 12. 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. I dont have pets and the dress was stored in a hanging bag. Posh cancelled the sale. The worst for me was selling an amazing dress at a very low price just to get something out the door, packing it carefully and attractively, shipping next day only to receive a needs work rating two weeks later for no apparent reason. Poshmark to me has the worst lowballers, some of the offers are beyond absurd. However, the buyer contacted me and said that the glasses I sold her were scratched. then one return/case i dont think it was completely valid it wa about the size of shoe and i listed EU size instead of brazillain so she had a point -it was a gently used pair of slipper that cost her $4 and gained me 1.05 so I was totally ok sending her a no saying sorry your unhappy pls return no problem. A buyer can go anywhere they choose to buy , but not so much for the seller , so sellers are a dime a dozen , but not so much a buyer .And they know a disgruntled buyer will probably never return , but if a seller has made some pretty good money they will blow off some steam , but will continue to stay . Recently I started putting more time into it and I noticed that I actually started to see more purchases! When the buyer received the item, they opened a case and claimed that there was loose stitching. I will never order on Poshmark again. Poshmark uses tactics like IP address banning. It was a pinup dress. You can access it here: https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business. 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? People leave comments on how ugly my stuff is and how they have a similar item and telling people to not buy it but she has never bought anything from me. I get a nasty review how I lied about the items, that they were used. Even before I read these comments I had pretty much decided not to go any further with PM. Heres the link: http://bigcommerce.evyy.net/c/380173/185949/2941. I have shipped clothes before and most fits in smaller envelopes sometimes for around $3. Congratulations on your new book! So I wasted all that time and missed out on the item. Youve inspired me to get off my bum and actually bring my online boutique to life. It doesnt affect anyone who is buying if they see you sold one item or hundreds as to whether youll make a sale. The person who received it, I think, either got it too late for the function (their fault) or it didnt fit. Its quite frustrating, especially when youre doing everything you can to provide great customer service. This was not any kind of problem with any other online selling site. Idk why theyre not even bothering to look into this but it really upsets me, especially since theyre making money off of me. I like the app as a seller, but the buyer experience leaves a lot to be desired. The modeling is not happening for me either, perv red flag alert!!! I was so negatively impacted by my experience with Poshmark that for about 6 months I tried, both on Reddit and a blog that I created, to create a community of like minded folks to start some kind of a movement to expose them (so that there is more readily available consumer information). Thank you so much Sydney! And they are wicked. I am professional and just discuss the item. 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 said it was goldtone but looked like a cross between silver and 10k gold. ON top of everything, the buyer is NEW to Poshmark. !! Its been way more time and pain in the rear then what I have gotten back. By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. Somehow she came up with screenshots and a fake trackint number (probably a different order altogether!) Ive recently become a larger seller and its so annoying when people dont bother to read the description. Years ago, I gave up on Ebay because I purchased something and just never received the item. Lies! I appreciate your post. !so I developed a four-point question format that I copied and pasted to every product I was interested in buying. Also i agree with everyones frustration. Almost not worth trying to sell. Everybody has their own superstition. Honestly I think part of the reason people lowball is the absurbly high shipping that raises the price. I sold a few things right away and was happy about that. I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! On the web version, go to the closet you want to block. So, when it happened to me, I was shocked. Thanks for the insight! As a few other people have said, I have been on pins and needless for a few days over a profit of $16, which makes me disappointed in myself for letting this get to me. And 2000$ a month is awesome however you will see the scamming come in and the rude people eventually as to what everyone on here is discussing I will come say hi! I have more luck selling on IG, its a great community, and would like to look in to Tradesy. Well then she changed her story and only asked a store 7 hours away how to tell if a bag is a replica. Blocking someone is doing what you can to make yourself happy. I truly love so many people I have grown to know that I doubt I can ever leave completely but ebay is looking easier, less time consuming, and oddly enough less annoying. She waited too long to return it. Solution: More followers more sales, but having desirable, in-demand inventory does. So excited! I guess its something new in their system, dont really know. Thank you for sharing. I moved away from it a while ago, & now Im just deleting my account as well. They fail to realize if it wasnt for the sellers they would not exist its not the buyers keeping them afloat. How can so many people have tons of Zara in their closet that they are selling so inexpensively? What should I do? 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. Today a buyer seriously lowballed me and i snapped, i told her for the offer i would rather keep them. She says in her complaint, I wear a small and this does not fit like a medium I want a refund on this shirt. Seriously? Not so. I have read a lot of horror stories like this happening to people unfortunately. I do think they have some algorithm that controls how many people see your share. I havent done anything wrong. Recently though, someone bought a dress and actually complained in the listing comments stating it was smelly and dingy and I was getting reported. There really should be something put in place for the sellers, especially since they take so much commission out of sales. I strive to be a seller that is honest and that people dont have to worry about buying from. How about silly girl talk on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Im certainly not alone in my opinion. The seller received them and complained that she only got one pair and was supposed to get two to which I explained again to read the description and asked her to please accept the order. It looks like they just bumped the shipping to $6.95. I had a girl give me a terrible rating for shipping time needs improvement. So she then attacks my page commenting on every listing calling me a scammer posting my address for all to see. Its a cleaver, but insidious business model. 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 shocked and disheartened to learn that so many other sellers have experienced the same ABUSE by a company that were keeping in business! So if you are listing for men or children, you must specify in your description or else you can end up eating a $25 shipping cost on a return GUCCI shoes worth $500. Caitlin, Im a perfect, highest rated buyer on eBay, and Ive sold as well. That would leave me with 2.50 not enough to buy the tape to close your box, lady! I accepted the dress in the Poshmark app before I had examined it since I was sure that it would be fine coming from a reliable Posher and I wanted to make sure that she received the payment from Poshmark as soon as possible. I joined because it was easy. But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. Thank you. When I clicked on the listing to put in for the return it said no listings available. Lol. I bought a pair of shoes. I would get up in the morning and receive offers that I couldnt even begin to describe what emotion I was feeling. I recently found a very unusual top, by a designer from Lebanon. When this item left my possession, these were brand leggings with no flaws, I just took them out of the bag for goodness sake! As a seller I wish I had seen this before I was scammed by a buyer. I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. and PM sided with her completely and after I blocked her scamming butt, she gave me a horrible rating and tried starting drama with me. The jeans were brand new and never worn. This unfortunately happened to me. Thanks!! Can you give me your thoughts on tradsey? There are other options besides Poshmark, like Tradesy and even eBay that arent quite as time consuming. While the majority of people who purchased items from my closet were class-act Poshers, I did have my collective share of bad apples that found their way to my Poshmark account. Now I found thus blog because I was severely harassed today for no reason by a random person. The laundering care label on the side seam showed it was Forever 21. I dont feel so alone now. Outside all the reasons most of the comments have said- mostly scammers, rude people and the absolutely worst customer service in the history of online sales I mean, honestly when its worse than eBay, that is sayin something, I think that its really being overlooked just how much Poshmark is expected to consume a persons life just to sell a $35 skirt, pack it prettily, rush it to the post office, wait for someone to get off their ass and accept it while praying they dont ding you with less than 5 Stars. I feel like A. they buyer regrets their purchase or B. they are trying to pull some sort of scam. 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. With the popularity of the 30mm growing, many people are following and welcoming newer users. Lucky for me, I requested it back, and I suppose Jessica wasnt as big of a douche as Taylor and didnt have the heart to send me an empty box back so I got the money after two weeks. Wow.. Sick of it! Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. Anyway, looks like ebay is still the best way to start a business. I just sent a package on Friday and, I assume because of Christmas time, the post office hasnt scanned the item yet. A second option of any item under 3lbs should be available . After finding this blog, and following this comment section, I was inspired to create Beyond Poshmark: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, If youd like some support, or are looking for alternative selling ideas, please check it out . Turns out this buyer is someone who resells the same type of item I sold herand Im wondering if she felt she couldnt get as much of markup as she wanted so she decided to claim it was used. Poshmark ruled in her favor. Select Block User. 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! . I just read this last week and breathed a sigh of relief that I have been lucky so far. I show them all the photos that were in the listing too. Expensive items seem risky for the buyer and the seller. Lastly, I would appreciate it if you would rate the seller based on the item and how well she does business and not on how bad you think the packaging is. I suggest you do the same. After November 16, 2016. They are her personal experiences. So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!! LOL POSH took down all my listings for no apparent reasons im done with this app. I am getting tired already spending hours checking on PM for any sales, sharing and answering silly questions form buyers. I just started using Poshmark. I absolutely cannot stand the giant amount of completely immature brats on that app. I had someone bundle 3 items which totaled $30 and offered me $6!! That is how you make it on Poshmark as a seller just dont care who is selling what, and do your own thing and share your stuff only!! Never before have I seen you could remove love notes. Hi Kelly! This issue is about my earnings that Poshmark still hasnt released. But I understand.d Im not thrilled with the cut that Poshmark wants, or with all the click the following button. 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). Definitely deleting my accounting and washing my hands of this. It just was completely consuming and I found myself buying to sell.. then not selling.. then not getting a return in the investments. but maybe Im wrong. Select Report User. Thanks for your comment Michelle. Its insane, now that they have grown there needs to be rules for top rated sellers. and offer no information on how these amounts are calculated to be deducted on our behalf. I have since had two additional sales that have five star ratings so but I feel that it is irrelevant to Posh. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake!
