Clancy&company's Closet (@my_closet_bliss) | Poshmark my_poshboutique. Im with mdbd Feb. 24, 2022. I have no recourse and feel I was scammed. From the left-hand menu, select My Closet Insights. How about the time wasters who want to communicate offsite without any intention of buying anything? and zero reason why even after i would ask what the problem was more than once and to also let them know feel free to send it back free not to mention trade scamming the pervs and the please hold for me and then you do it and they dont answer you back when you ask them if they need more time or what the deal is! Hi Liz! When I came to the realization they were at best as bad as ebay, that is when I deleted my account. I get a lot less than doing it myself on eBay but none of the hassle. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. To find Trends, go to the Shop tab, scroll down until you see Trends, and swipe through to view the different collections available. We currently host 4 parties per day with varying party themes of different brands, categories, departments, and trends. Once opened, select the Account tab at the bottom right corner. I have never wasted so much timefor $20! Hope no one actually buys into that B. S. so ill stay a little longer -but maybe try Ebay and other sites for my more expensive collector items. even if its new with tags 99.9% bought it off the clearance rack and are trying to sell it at MSRP!!!! LOL! Overnight????? Asking to trade when all they have is a pile of target and walmart clothes for coach and other $$ items. Hello, I complete Thanks for your article. Yes,I have to agree with some of this.I dont sell that much on Poshmark anymore because it is very time consuming.Sharing,commenting just to get a sale for a item.I spent hours sharing just to get 1-2 sales if im lucky.I really like Ebay and Vinted because you can list the item and go on with your day,you dont have to spend hours sharing items just to gte people to notice your selling some heels out of thousands of heels that our on sale on Poshmark.Poshmark is best if you have designer items like ZARA,COACH,BANANA REPUBLIC,DOLCE GABANNA etc.because people our looking for them all year round instead of used clothes that range $5-$10 just not worth the time. Hi! Poshmark Marketplace Marketplace and Deals. Size: 9.5 Salvatore Ferragamo. Ive learned quite a bit from reading all the issues and problems that buyers and sellers have had to endure. I wonder what you consider as a gazillion questions. While I agree that there are trolls out there who asks questions just to waste someones time, some people ask a number of questions because quite frankly the item descriptions on many Poshmark listings are abysmal. This is the first and only one Ive came across, thank you for that incite. However, if also seems like the last year has been miserable on Posh. Have them google When you order over seas products cheap quality than pictured make a listing in your closet explaining all of this! She was rude and not what I wanted to deal with. I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. dhampyre @amking45 Bored or something?; Clearly a snide remark? Honestly I would have been happy to arrange a return ( bc it is a costly item) if she had just told me -hey It doesnt fit canI pls return it .. then I could have gotten it back undamaged and resold but instead i have a $200 brand new suit that is ruined. I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. Ive had 2 offers from people who joined the same day (or within days) as the offer. No comments or likes, just followers. That should have been a red flag. I seemed to have a streak of 4 rotten customers, one was an obvious scammer that pm allowed to go through anyway. By and large I have been very impressed with the sellers. What are your thoughts? Anyway, looks like ebay is still the best way to start a business. Recently though, someone bought a dress and actually complained in the listing comments stating it was smelly and dingy and I was getting reported. I am quitting at the end of the month. Then I got a few weird troll comments- thats when i learned there are a$$holes on there just out to be rude. And I learned a lot from being on Poshmark for a few years, so that certainly helped in starting my own online store. I have literally dropped prices down to the absolute bare minimum and I still get offers that make me loose hope in humanity. Yeap. It has so far been a colossal waste of time. I havent been on Posh very long, only sold 13 items. aint nobody got time for that as sweet brown would say. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. I responded to Poshmark and informed them that the zipper worked perfectly when it was shipped, but they sided with the buyer and returned the item to me. Aside from having no personal interaction with sellers, backing up sellers, and even posting there is a time suck. 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? End of story. Can anyone suggest how I can get my money for this? 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. Its inane!!! I posted a beautiful peridot necklace for way cheaper than it was worth. If you get it sent back video tape the moment you grab the package and open it and see whats in there. Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. Im a slave to Posh, a cog in the machine. Thank you for sharing your experience. Here's how to do both. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. They take so much money from us and thats all their concern is. What really upset me was that I had one buyer that did not like the lycra content in the jeans I sold her. Im a new seller on posh. Well, when Poshmark realized that I wasnt a patsy that could be ripped of, they suspended my account. Poshmark never read my emails. True.. Poshmark will not side with you ever. If there was any communication with the buyer prior to purchase I also screenshot that and show it. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake! Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) Thanks for all the great insight and perspectives. I also didnt like that the shipping was the same price no matter the item was. Thank you for your honesty and sharing comments like these because it will save people like me, a whole lot of time and money and prevent nightmares for others, like the ones you all have had!! But dont share *too* much. I blocked her and removed the entire listing ( since you cant remove the offensive comments) On the other flip of the coin I had a very sweet lady who had bought from me a few times in the past purchase several of my smaller items and tell me that although she didnt have a need for any of the items , she wanted to help. I videotaped myself opening the box and sent it to them. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! No negotiating, do not make lower offers. Ive sold about 5 small items like fashion jewelry, etc. I encourage buyers to ask questions. Only 3 hours away, wish i was there! Caitlin, Not getting rich,never tried the parties,but I make a few bucks and spend a few. The buyer has to provide photo proof showing how the item does not match the listing description.

Not sure which freaky post that name was on The one name that responded to 2 posts i mentioned was listed as Mark7369847548. The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. I get a nasty review how I lied about the items, that they were used. I doubt it displays on the newsfeeds of all our followers. It takes more time than it is worth and Im seeing the writing on the wall before going any further. So not sure if its their revenge on me? I offer poshmarks first regret-free promise to sellers. Then I noticed people only offer a fraction of that. With no real protections, its a huge risk for You and not to Poshmark or the buyer. Wait, to the person who said the shipping is absurdly high, I have to ask where else are you shopping that $7 is high for priority?! In my fifth purchase attempt, the item was promptly shipped and received. Drop the price at least 10% and choose a shipping discount. At midnight my husband would say Are you still poshing? I suddenly realized that all the time I was spending being social on Poshmark was keeping me from doing other really productive things in my life, like exercising, writing, and spending quality time with friends and family. Ive read her comments and potential buyers have asked for photos of the actual jacket and some other ?s. Candace, you should definitely start your own site! I mostly stick to eBay these days. Eight items for $40 bucks, its all good. Which is frustrating when you are dealing with a substantial sum.

Now I found thus blog because I was severely harassed today for no reason by a random person. I agree the lowball offers are ridiculous and Im offended! Ive been active on Poshmark for little over a year and have been busting my tail trying to make my store and followers grow. Poshmark doesnt have a 1-800 number and doesnt responds to emails. Postmarks used my redeemable points. Because it sold for above $500 it had to be sent first to Poshmark offices for authentication. Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. Its called How To Ditch Poshmark and Start Your Own E-Commerce Business! Its a 57-page e-book that details every step I took in opening my Shop Stylaphile Vintage store. Hi, I am an avid buyer and only had one bad experience. Introducing: "Shop My Closet" Web Page! - Poshmark on tradsey or something similar. I totally relate to this post. Deleted listings. Thinking she thinks I took it off line and sold it which is not true. And I was also trying to express that dealing with problem customers isnt just a Poshmark thing. What about the sellers costs for packaging materials, etc.? And good luck with your sales , Good to read all these because since I became active in Pm in Jan I have experienced all this, even PM doing nothing about a creepy, unsafe member I reported and emailed. I wont sell to anyone with no listings. There is. So far from the truth. I cant deal with lowballs. I turned the entire page and listings into posh so hopefully they will just terminate the account. You couldnt see it. . I have been pondering over the idea of whether or not accept the return, but it appears from what I have read here, I might as well fart in the wind. Thats ridiculous! Good luck! Get the badge! I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. Be any businesses I have the right to charge whavi want however I didnt I charge a fair priced its not my fault they seen it online cheaper. My friend & I actually buy posh labels to mail things to one another because its cheaper than it would be if we actually paid the post out of pocket! You earned it. Select your profile picture at the top-right of the page. I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. I sold $2,000 last month (April), all preowned items, and expect more in May. Thank you for sharing. I'm selling Makeup/Skincare, Everything I've tried to list is New. Thanks! Even before I read these comments I had pretty much decided not to go any further with PM. I feel like there is nothing to stop a buyer from damaging an item and claiming the item is not as described. Tap the toggle to compare metrics to the prior period. Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. I found your article and am hoping you might know what can be done. . 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. The lady gets her money back an I get back a dress drenched in perfume An a snag in the brand new dress !!! I told Mercari theyd lost a very valuable, and honest seller. In theory, its a great site but the fees are ridiculous. On Wednesday, the company moved toward that goal by announcing it had raised $25 million in a round led by GGV Capital and existing investors. Especially when were lining Poshmarks pockets! I saw that the same guy responded to the young boy pic and the woman whos heading was lady in dress cook clean and gives happy endings. She has a small child sitting next to her. Now a message to all that takes the time to read this!! Heres the thing IT WAS NOT DAMAGED. Already I can tell I am putting in a ton of time to get followers, follow others, share, likes and what not. my poshmark closet disappearedoffice furniture liquidators chicago June 14th, 2022 mazda 3 2021 bose sound system Join. I just read this last week and breathed a sigh of relief that I have been lucky so far. 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. If the scammers are not monitored by the platform we are selling on, then small online shops are not going to able to have success and the platforms will eventually suffer. Today a buyer seriously lowballed me and i snapped, i told her for the offer i would rather keep them. CSV. I am so glad I found this blog! The user report/review feature on Poshmark is the biggest example of just how cheap Manish Chandra really is. If youre selling less expensive stuff, eBay might be the way to go. I am close to closing my closet. Im not interested in being anybodys BFF. high fees and noone is serious. I would also encourage others to do the same that is the only way they will correct the fraudulent behavior!! When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. Expecting no problem, when I went to print out the shipping label, THEN Poshmark gives you grief with their idiotic verification process (why they dont do this BEFORE a new Seller posts stuff is beyond me). Next, Ill tell you the super complicated way to get out of it. They havent responded to me in months now! Hope everyone finds their happy spot. I did notice that a lot of the items being sold seem high endish. Hi! Hilary, I am so sorry this has been your experience as a seller. The bonus items were worth more than the items you paid for. Then it seems as if only certain people share certain people items. I would like to start my own online store, I just would like to know how you do it in order to make it discoverable. It also explains why there are so many listings with unanswered comments, so all of these stories help people like me understand. She waited too long to return it. Most likely they are getting discounted ship pricing and earning on ship price also. Or at *this* time. That is why they like sites like ThredUP. It just shows that they lack the protection for you since you were loyal to Poshmark for couple of years as a Top Seller. I am really disappointed and sad. Im having the same issue I sold one thing and sold it cheap disgusted with it. Basically it states that due to unfortunate circumstances, I am now substantially photographing every purchase before I ship!!! I would recommend starting your own Shopify store or selling on Depop. Reason #4: Poshmark is a massive time-suck! So one has nothing to defend since left unaware?? Not so. Do not try to justify it because there is no justification, and if you get shut down you deserve it. I was looking to buy one, and I really wouldnt mind if its damaged inside. Quite often you can check out as a guest but not here. I have to say that I have been on the site for only 6 months and have experienced all that you spoke about! Now, exactly a week after, I received an email from PM saying that after they have reviewed the case and photos submitted by the buyer, they have decided to deny the return request. My rating had fallen to like, 98.5! I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. 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. Poshmark updated on the mobile and now my log in information doesnt work. Im afraid adding one more domain to the Internet is throwing a penny into the void hard to find unless youre really looking for it! Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. Thanks for making me feel better about my over reaction! I have had no issues with anything I have purchased or sold so far, and I put a lot of effort into my packaging and fast shipping. Every Offer to Likers you make is an additional entry. Most Posh sellers will tell others that the first thing that they do in the morning is share their Listings. One way to know if this has happened to you, is youll start to see less engagement on your items (less likes and comments). Before Poshmark though, I sold on eBay for a time so Im no stranger to hard work. I am feeling the same way. If this company ever goes public Im buying stock! I invested more than I got in return. I had done nothing to the jacket. I was hit by harvey and am trying to attend college. The model requires too much of a time commitment to successfully make money selling; 4). Hi , I have the same proble likie I have a open case with A free people dress ,and the buyer make a open case because is not authentic . Im assuming (based on other social platforms) if you fly under the radar long enough things will go back to normal. They brag about entering the closet and making nasty comments and offering 3.00 on every listing. Before shipping the item I was asked to verify the size as they wanted a photo of the tag. I have a large following as well and have sold many items. Very frustrating, Jeanette, I hope you see my comment. Seeing the number of comments here going on about what a shitstorm Poshmark is here just tells me to stay the hell away from it. idk, just fyi, I did contact customer support. Everything youve said is 100% true!!!! Youll be invited to participate in the parties by the PM Editor the day before. They will delete the listing if it's those two cercomstances. The seller has just as much to lose as the buyer. 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.

I also told the folks at Poshmark about the discount thing. Is this new? So sad. Im tired of low balls and comments on my listings about where to get it cheaper. Really sad that there are people out there like that. One of the reasons I pay that 20% is because Posh gives buyers some kind of peace of mind.
