Im sorry this is happening to you and sorry about your father. The bag is 100% authentic. I couldnt ignore the urge to tell that girl all that I think about those kind of buyers. I am documenting my packaging & item just to be safe. Honestly I think part of the reason people lowball is the absurbly high shipping that raises the price. I would recommend starting with Tradesy and eBay. I never used Poshmark for main income but I do know some people do and it makes me sad. Good idea, I was actually going to record opening the box just so there would be some sort of proof. The set decorator from Mad Men was one of my favorite buyers. There are apps out there that are truly personal, do treat sellers well, aside from opening own sites. Just constant drama and bs. Do you find self advertising costly? Hi Nicole! I have no sympathy for the person who buys something and doesnt like it because everything is as it is you are taking your chances here its a little different than a yard sale but its basically s yard sale everything is final and they know that when they buy it. The user report/review feature on Poshmark is the biggest example of just how cheap Manish Chandra really is. Its great for the handful who do make money but its antiquated in its design and their cut is highest Ive encountered. Good luck! I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. And dont get me started on customer service. I video tape all my You do have to pay a monthly fee to use Shopify and you have to know a bit of HTML programming in order to get your site set up the way you want it. Your Poshmark account will then be deleted. The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. Have done okay maintaning a 4.9 rating. Yet thousands do it every week on that app. I have shared to FB, I bought a mannequin to make my pics more professional. Otherwise theyll spiral out of business. Or buyers that damage the item on purpose. Finally, select "Logout." I came across your article, and Im so glad I did! I do realize some are killing it there and they say they have employees who help. or can I ask $25 if that what its selling for?/!! But then again, for a buyer, the opposite may be true. I did come across many people who had problems with support. She did not ask the percentage before buying. But I like you missed the social aspect, I had regular buyers that I had became friends with. I had a buyer try to sneak different items into a bundle after we had negotiated. And where I need to get paid.they are jerking me around.thank u much appreciated jackie 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. Before college i have sold things here and there but since the storm im particularly desperate. Im not sure if I will buy through Poshmark again. Posh doesnt seem to have a system in place to protect the seller!! Thankfully, Poshmark updated to 8 pictures so that helps a lot with posting pics of authentic merchandise. Its quite frustrating, especially when youre doing everything you can to provide great customer service. Its distressing to hear that now it is an issue to delete your account. Sad. 1. I was nice at first and pointed out that #1- I am listing a ton of NWT stuff well be low retail and even wholesale prices, not making money on a lot of things. Feel free to reach out to her on Twitter, where she can be found most of the time, NOW WATCH: Why groundhogs are hard to get rid of, What is Poshmark? I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. I very much mind working hard and long just to thwart scammers and thieves. Im breaking down the sense of trust and integrity on the app. They never gave me a chance to defend my bag or my closet they just removed it . Not worth the headache. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. 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. 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. Today I get this: Janet replied: Thanks for your email. Just impossible. So she picked item not as described. But its over. And an update for board poshmark approved the buyers return and their comment was not enough images of damage its a large tote not sure how to do all sides and inside with 4 pictures. The time spent sharing and following is insane, and the sales numbers dont justify it. 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 can buy $20,000 in retail for $1200 and make $2400 fast. I spend countless hours researching products. I would love any tips you could provide. I live in the real world. And on a Sunday, today on a holiday weekend????? But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. 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. He had flown it, crashed it, and was trying to return it. End of story. Another guy did something similar and offered $30. I told him that my ad had clearly stated that it was not brand new and that it was 3/4 full. I came here to warn people to stay away, far far far away from Mercari!!!!! Blessings to you. And half the time they dont respond so youre just wasting your time chasing after ghosts. I even asked the girl if she wanted, she could just cancel the order and keep it when she gets it just so I dont get a bad review ( I have 5 stars so far and worked hard for it) It just isnt fun for a good seller. My stuff is just regular everyday clothes & shoes it seems. Ive recently become a larger seller and its so annoying when people dont bother to read the description. I realize this is an old post and maybe someone has already pointed this out, but I had someone try a scam to get a refund.She wet a corner of a handbag and photographed it then filed a complaint. Thanks @stylaphile youre right, its seriously not worth it. Im so sick of sharing other peoples things and not getting the same in return. I also didnt like that the shipping was the same price no matter the item was. Also their wholesale portal is a joke. Poshmark is full of Sellers who are quick to list but have little or no intention of Selling, or young girls who change their mind and cancel on a whim. How can a bag i purchase from Saks for an arm and a leg be fake? During the pandemic, I havent wanted to deal with all the time wasted selling to these stores in person so Ive just been mailing in things that I dont care about. There is. It is insulting for a person who is a stranger to do so to another. Too many scammers and Poshmark does nothing to help either party. on tradsey or something similar. Thank you so much for getting back to me. How can so many people have tons of Zara in their closet that they are selling so inexpensively? I appreciate your feedback! 3-4 occasions where something was not as described or damaged when I got it and they accept the return or gave me a posh Credit in one instance but in other cases they have totally back me up. I am either closing my closet and no longer selling or purchasing or limiting sales to established buyers/sellers depending on the outcome. Hi Rachel. Four times a day for the parties. my_poshboutique. Theyre skinny jeans to me lol. You live and learn! The thing I like about poshmark is how you dont have to create a paypal or venmo to receive your money. Been on Poshmark since 2019. Its not! They emailed him back directing him to the app step by step how to start a claim process. I accepted a real lowball offer for the item in the first place, but I couldnt believe it was happening to me! Its just frustrating. (Rosegal etc trust me h know how those sites are) tell them to Google the damn garnets those sites are ripping pics off and what you actually get when they come in. Likewise, youll be prompted to join if you enter the app during a party. Ive been on Poshmark a few months. But, until recently, I overlooked those negatives. Tap . I have been on Poshmark since 2014, and in the last year Ive really been able to sell items. Tradesy is great for High Designer Labels and only women clothing. (What company wouldnt want to keep their site free of these types?!) It isnt their decision how I manage my business (and therefore my finances). I was just curious, what was the best way to post an move all your items listed to your new online store? what I found most frustrating about posh Sellers is they dont put much /any information in the description, they post terrible pics or only one picture and then they act put out when you ask them questions ! I just left ebay for the same reason, no seller protection. 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. Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. Glad you found a better way loved your article!! No bundle may exceed 5 lb., she didnt want to pay the additional shipping. I deleted my account about 2 years ago (also out of frustration and disgust with their business practices) and though they tried to entice me to stay, I was able to completely separate from them. Listing photos showed otherwise. 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. I was new- i agreed. As far as the creepos, I was contacted by people who wanted me to sell them off site and kept contacting me and once I block them they created another account so that they could ask me suspect questions about another item and so thats one of the problems with these stalker-ish mentally unstable type of people. Most of the advice was to ridiculously raise prices in order to corner the market. I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. There really should be something put in place for the sellers, especially since they take so much commission out of sales. My Sales ReportWith My Sales Report, you can have the details of every sale youve ever made, right at your fingertips. SMH . How to Read Your ReportOnce you have your report, youll be able to see all the elements detailed below. Completely bizarre but block and ignore. She also never used the bundle feature and on one of her packages she listed a different address entirely to flim-flam me. It has definitely gone down hill an I feel like I dont get much sleep cause Im trying to make everyone happy an that part I love just not all the other crap !! She claimed I must have mailed her item (a jewelry piece) to somebody else when that other person had purchases something totally unrelated and I KNOW hers was the only bracelet I had yet to sell. 2. changed her mind and put a hole in my bag. Most Posh sellers will tell others that the first thing that they do in the morning is share their Listings. This countrys healthcare is the biggest scam. I think every platform is catered to a specific customer; however, you find low-ball offers on most of them. I just quit Poshmark for the SAME reason. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Period. Poshmark literally tells them what to do to return an item. It was a surprisingly emotional experience to realize I fell for this. Roughly 10000 follows in a day. I am sincerely hoping that with the recently increased success of the customer service team, that we will be successful in getting our Poshmark back to the way it was meant to be with perhaps some more appropriate commission fees. 112. With no sharing, following, or any kind of maintenance at all. I sold an authentic Valentino Nuage patent leather bag (MSRP is $1950 took a lowballer offer of $60 because it was damaged), I took/posted the full amount of pictures allowed by Posh (most of the damage) and noted it at length in the description. You might try BigCommerce as an alternative. dhampyre @amking45 Bored or something?; Clearly a snide remark? I started on Posh and left, due to constant issues.Ive been on Mercari since 2015 and like their platform much better. Augh I feel your pain. The thing is, if they would just make a few changes and really pay attention to protecting both buyers and sellers, they would be able to retain more users. It annoys some sellers, and some wont even answer, but may save you trouble. OMG, Im so sorry you ad to go through that Cat. Tools. Its unfortunate that it has come to this. As for advice, you can open your own store like I did on Shopify, or if you dont have HTML knowledge, you could try BigCommerce here: http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt. So sick! Cant believe how they do that without a Warning. If the gray Shared Successfully banner pops up, then youre not in share jail. Im basically on PoshMark to sell. Hi Liz! Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. They brag about entering the closet and making nasty comments and offering 3.00 on every listing. I obviously had the same feeling as you. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. I left feedback for the seller and gave her a 3-star rating. It just baffles me how people can do stuff like that! So sorry that happened to you. I shared the receipt with PM since it has private contact info on it and asked the buyer to contact them directly to return, but she keeps posting comments. I havent had a single sell! The carrot they hold out in front of these users continues to mesmerize. I bought a pair of shoes. Great post! Are your items allowed on poshmark? If it was Ebay that wouldnt fly. Try it out and let me know how it works for you! One girl told me She went on multiple listings and wrote terrible things. I see that I have active offers, but I dont know how to accept them and how do I get paid? I didnt expect a response right away from the seller, of course, due to the holidays, but after the New Year passed, I commented to ask her if everything was okay(I figured she may have been away for the holidays). My advice would be just to cut your losses with this buyer and block him from ever buying from you in the future. I was honest in my review and stated that the dress was beautiful, but that the description was lacking details that were important to a buyer and I explained in detail what I saw upon receiving the dress. Emily, thank you so much for your comment. She wants I think I am going to dump the app after my last sale gets delivered. seriously WTF. Diana, Thanks so much! Best wishes to you all, and thanks for listing great items. I am so sorry to hear what happened to Alexandria Perri. This is an item that you can sell 1/8 tsp.

There will be no listing fees and a low commission of 2.5% on sales made. Most people would tend to think that I must have made a boatload of money, but NOPE. They sided with her, I sent them an e-mail saying how as sellers are we protected against people like this, the item probably didnt fit or they didnt like it! I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! Deleting a Poshmark account is fairly similar on both the mobile app and on the web. Any input would be helpful esp. I can live with it. People called you a whore because you declined an offer?! I dont have time for this stupid back and forth game people play on poshmark with that ridiculous offer button so I just declined the offer and she went nuts!
