That should have been a red flag. Ive taken part in hearting picking likes that style. I see many comments that say, Oh, I do this for fun, I know I will never make any real money at this. Avoid 'Inspired' Brand Names in Descriptions. I found your article and am hoping you might know what can be done. For $50. From my experience as a merchant, there is no monthly listing fee on Tradesy. The return was actually denied by Poshmark so Im definitely thankful to be done with that mess!! All it took was one 2 star review for a vintage belt to knock me down. 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. He said in the email he was wanted to buy his gf a bag and was wondering about buyer protection. Now I have a lot more control over what Im selling and I dont have to pay Poshmark fees or a 20% commission to anyone. Thanks!! If you come to my Closet and start the games i have learned so much on how to steal your buyers i will do it! 20% of $25 is $5, leaving a seller with $20 for their incredible amount of time sharing, posting and engaging to sell those mittens. 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! I take clear pictures with 6s iPhone of the front, back, labels, the closures, the buttons on the sleeves, and any cute details. My PM days are done!!! The seller contacted me and said her entire closet was thrifted and apologized profusely. I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. My quick thoughts re: selling online. The buyer, with three followers, complained that my new Reed Krakoff bag smelled like manure and was stained all over. The time I spent on the Poshmark subreddits shows that theres still a tremendous amount of denial among Poshmarks most entrenched user base. Wow, this is very eye opening! I never buy from those that dont respond, no matter how much I want the item. What they really mean is exposing this activity breaks down the trust and integrity of users. Let me know if you want anymore details. I hate to try on clothes, so if I saw something I liked, Id buy it. Yesterday after being a buyer on Poshmark I decided to start selling some items. Im not spending countless hours listing stuff to only get offered pennies, if that. They were withholding my direct deposit, I contacted the BBB and within a week I had my direct deposit. Again, thats one of the reasons I quit! Keep me posted on how its going for you and thanks again for the comment! If I get banned because of this comment. 3 items each cut out private areas the back of one top had a spray painted penis and I wont repeat what it said. Most items I have sent tops , pants and shoes are less then 3lbs and normally would cost under $3.00 to send yet the buyer is forced to spend either $6.79 or $ 5.00 unless the seller wants to pay shipping. Sharing first thing in the morning. 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. One of my first purchases was for my daughter, when it arrived, I opened it on my deck ( thank god) and there were dead bedbugs all over the tape. I always check items very carefully before listing, If I noticed anything wrong with it I wouldnt of listed. PROS: I sold a lot, barely any return or issues with sales or buyers. Nothing. Though Poshmark paid me the money, the buyer was able to get a refund and my item!!!! The user report/review feature on Poshmark is the biggest example of just how cheap Manish Chandra really is. Sales final and as is with description. But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. Replicas are forbidden on Poshmark and I report them every time I see them. I am well aware of the ups and downs. I have never bought anything online, ever. As a buyer Im very frustrated now with sellers who post but never provide any detail of the items (when it only takes a second to measure), those who send damaged goods and those who take my money and never ship at all. so when I see people sooooo overpriced on PM. 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. Also their wholesale portal is a joke. It just no longer worked for me. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Click below if you want to learn how I did it and open a store of your own!). I have only had one offer and it was about half of my listed price. The time spent sharing and following is insane, and the sales numbers dont justify it. Posh always binds w the buyer usually. She ended up posting my personal information on various websites and on the posh app, and told people I was never sending her top. Especially the high end name brand ? After a few of those I decided I need to reach out to a seller first by commenting or making an offer, to see if theyre still active. 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. The CONSTANT sharing, sharing, sharingthe neverending following, trying to trick the Posh algorithms. I am a Buyer and they want me to sign up for an account I am not interested I buy things and just use PayPal and have used a number of emails but now it is to the point I cant order anymore unless I sign up oh well, so many sellers are missing out (think I have four pending purchases PayPal already processed but PM just sends me an email to sign up. But they have approved the request and the bag is now in transit back to me. Im breaking down the sense of trust and integrity on the app. I was clear about the Too Faced being used, I never used the KVD blush. I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was selling a brand new pin up girl red dress. I just had as case open for me exaggerating the so-called flaws I didnt describe. I have tried to be super helpful and answer her questions and I just dont think she wants to hear it. You need to find out if they reported this to Posh. I use social media, my blog, and Google AdWords to drive traffic to my site. Hi! Also, if the buyer isnt happy with the purchase, Tradesy handles the return. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. I have 5 pairs of Miss Me Jeans and 2 miss me shorts Im trying to sell that it. now this just leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. Poshmark is refunding the buyers money because of minor skuff marks. Heres the bad experience I had that was the impetus for my Poshmark departure. Your story is nearly identical to mine just about 4 years later! Blessings to you. 16. There are so many positives. I am certain the support is not from inside the United States. Poshmark is making a hefty 20% commission just for using their site and sending out shipping labels. I think its awesome you offer free returns. You live and learn! It has been pending since August 17th. The zipper pulls with the brand name felt like plastic. Ive read all the horror stories on this blog and its very scary. The dress was sent back. And let me know how it goes! I tell people to look on line to see if they can buy the BRAND NWT top Im selling that is currently in stores and in style for less? It was good to get away for a month vacation and I am hoping to change my reselling strategy. 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 also wonder how they want you to add any evidence when a case is opened and posh does not even disclose what the case was opened for? I got some $ back from the protection plan, but I hated that I had been scammed. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Nothing came, or was updated on Posh. Surprise the voice mail is full. This is especially the case due to Poshmark fees which are pretty steep. However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. After looking at some other Poshers (a.k.a people who sell on Poshmark) I discovered that the top sellers had a nice theme going where they would take pictures of their items with pretty backgrounds and keep it consistent throughout their postings. My advice would be just to cut your losses with this buyer and block him from ever buying from you in the future. *Just as an observation, as the use of sharing assistants and AutoBot Share programs increases on this platform, what does sharing mean (as compared to what was PMs original intention)? 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. With a larger user-base, you would expect your listings to sell out by the time you count to three. 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? Thank you. If you want to keep selling, you need to avoid getting caught. Stylaphile is an excellent resource for tips,tricks, thoughts, and trends, one I highly recommend any seller bookmark, so be sure to check back often. 17. Hi! me to fix it. Theyve gotten worse! I just deleted my Poshmark closet. Posh Jail prevents you from sharing listings and stops you from following people. I have had for the majority nothing but stellar comments on most everything else I have sold and live in fear that Im going to get kicked off of here due to these bogus fradulant people. Ive branched out to posting my items on IG, Im just nervous about making the leap to a full fledged small business. I am bit reluctant on these fees for posh foe just pointing the shipping label (shipping is still paid by buyer or seller). So you tell me who is being dishonest??!!!!!! Log in to your Poshmark account. I closed my account, that had perfect feedback, and posted all my items to Ebay. Poshmark is such a joke of a business. Anyone know if I can file a complain? I dont have a pet. I get a nasty review how I lied about the items, that they were used. I have also been on Poshmark nonstop as well since starting my own closet. I can tell you this: Selling clothes to humans is a pain. This is why i put all Regarding Poshmark: Complete disaster. One of the embassador Poshers bought my Burberry rain boots for $50 (a great deal), and later on filed a complaint saying that the boots smelled horrible and that they had stains and blah, blah, blah she even said that she wanted to keep them at no cost even though I asked her to return them for her money back. Not only am I tired of low ball offers. This seriously angers me. I am a little less freaked out. IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL WHEN I SOLD IT TO HER. Does anyone know if the buyer returns the item damaged can you reopen the case? So,I started looking into lace human hair wigs or extensions. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. 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?! You are preaching to the choir as I agree with EVERYTHING you said. I purchased a name brand handbag for a very low price. I was told I NEED a Facebook shop first. I dont defend the behavior whatsoever,by anybody. It seems like this type of activity is picking up across all of these platforms. However they no longer respond to my emails. I actually block more people per day than I end up following because of rude behavior. Its infuriating. Sorry for those bad encounters, but thank you for the heads up!! I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. Unfortunately, I didnt catch it before I hit accept. Well, Carlo O. hassled me for discount after discount on designer make up. I just quit Poshmark for the SAME reason. My measurements were clearly posted but all she cared about was getting it an I clearly stated to her do you want me to measure anything ? I see many people have recommended Tradesy or ebay. I bought a domain from GoDaddy and just now started on Shopify. I encourage buyers to ask questions. I however, am photographing extensively anything bought from my closet before shipping!! Try it out and let me know how it works for you! Postmarks used my redeemable points. Also, a lot of people have luck selling on Instagram. Even ebay did a better job. I also explained that I would have made an offer rather than simply purchasing it for the posted price had I known that there was such severe staining. Ive started cross-posting items so I can have a wider scope of buyers and most of the time, Im more successful on ebay. But dont share *too* much. I wear a small and it was just slightly too large, so I listed it with all pics of the 2XL tags and saying that I believe it was mis-marked because I wear a small and it was slightly too big. Then there are the pervert trolls. Thanks for sharing new ideas. Which is frustrating when you are dealing with a substantial sum. If you have any advice about what direction i should go please let me know. I was such a motivated seller here, and accepted almost all offers even if I didnt even nearly get the deserved earnings. And some of us-myself included-end up doing a whole lot of work for $3 an hour. I am shocked at the time women are willing to sacrifice for this one singular objective. The amount of time that I put into sharing on Poshmark I can market on Social Networks account. I have been an occasional Poshmark shopper (I shop ALL over online, wherever I find what I want at a fair price and I never lowball anyone). We will not be restoring your account as we require users to follow our returns guideline. Does she have something to hide? These people never buy anything and it seems their sole purpose for being on Poshmark is to waste your time. Im with mdbd Feb. 24, 2022. Support??? I know he is doing this to get a refund.he has already opened a case with PayPal and now has been harassing me I emailed Poshmark Support and asked the question but havent heard back from them yet but I dont see how they can make a seller make them an exclusive. Therefore if you wanted 10 items from 10 different closets, you will be paying over $60 in shipping costs!! I have so so many high end items on there without any problems but I think I had just been lucky until now. 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). Endlessly. Wow. It was bought immediately and the buyer asked me to ship it asap which I rushed to the post office to do. I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive.
