This way, the responsibility to ship it to their warehouse is on them. So one has nothing to defend since left unaware?? 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. Two of them never shipped. I have been debating opening up a boutique, and am not sure whether I should do it on Poshmark, or something like Shopify. 5386. Hi Rachel. Gradually ebay swerved everything in the buyers direction. I bought a BRAND NEW IN BOX item and this has been used. I get what you are saying about being responsible for your purchase. Thanks for the comment! Its a sad place for sellers these days. With the popularity of the 30mm growing, many people are following and welcoming newer users. But when I found myself blocking people all day long, I just stopped accepting offers period. Twenty items I dont have to discount -90% off and still have unhappy people. I was so excited to get started, but waiting on my sis to help with pictures. Still trying to wrap my head around it all.but I want to say thank you for writing this.I needed to hear it from someone else that Im waiting my time on Posh. Tradesy is great for High Designer Labels and only women clothing. Well the folks at poshmark know the same thing. Sending support & positive vibes Brianna. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. I sold $2,000 last month (April), all preowned items, and expect more in May. I would also encourage others to do the same that is the only way they will correct the fraudulent behavior!! I dont know too many things that are just off about POSH! By the way, my real name is Ann. Thank you SO MUCH for this post. 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. My 5th sale was shipped within 12 hours and this was a brand new pair of Electric Yoga leggings that were ordered online. And 2000$ 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! If I get banned because of this comment. I either get told the same script that buyers have 3 days to accept or they ignore me completely. Thats where wed all benefit! Just curious if it was zipped up on the photo how someone could claim the zipper didnt work. So frustrating & trying to not take it personally and/or quit since I have 2 more boxes of clothes coming to resell. I love having the control I have over my ShopStylaphile.com site. For example, (real experience; comment section): Buyer name (myself): dhampyre Without exaggeration, 8 out of 10 new members are counterfeit scammers or spammers. I am close to closing my closet. The pricing model just doesnt work for me. However, where one has a pro its the exact con for the other. has a hole in it, a stain and a large pick. When i recieved it the blouse was clearly purposely ripped in multiple spots. Hope to hear from you soon, in the meantime have you thought about Traders village as a viable and affordable option for store ownership? As far as low ballers all you have to do is ignore them. Hi Ashley! As if anyone living in the United States could make money off a vintage, used, faux leather jacket, and would bother to try to sell one that was counterfeit. I have many new things in my closet that I have never worn or touched as my style has changed over the years. You might not get the ton of eyes on your products like you do on Poshmark, but the quality of your visitors and buyers will be better and you wont have to deal with all the headaches. This is a bold face lie! If youd like to find out more about the companys vision and mission feel free to e-mail at element22co@gmail.com. Not sure where that came from? Good morning! Thanks for understanding, Janet. It is a challenge since my clothing consists of very nice designer items (at very low prices) and not secondhand items, and I think a lot of people are used to buying bargain basement thrift items (which I do not sell). I am in the process of closing my closet. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. #2 Im not on there as a hobby, Im trying to make rent & liquidating NEW mostly NWT items ( i got wholesale- i work in apparel) and yes sometimes my personal buys but those are also either NWT or EUC that are I list much lower than I should and more importantly #3- ITS MY BUSINESS both on a personal and business level- my pricing is my prerogative and she doesnt need to by from me ( no to mention the items I list high are rare and highly desired.. like a baseball card or any other collector item do i have to sell it for $5 bc I bought it for $4? No worries. Yeah, its all annoying, but that doesnt make the other person a troll, who is deliberately out to crap on your day. Once I received notification of the accusation and reply to Poshmark through email and phone, despite my great reputation on the site, I got no response and had the item returned to me. Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. 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. No this is not common. On one wholesale portal I think it was the bullet necklaces, they give so much to charity I suggested Posh give the 20% they make off each sale to said charity! And not everyone on Posh is conducting it or their closet as a business. Ive only had one person open a claim and Poshmark denied it. The answer is no. The bundles costing US SELLERS more money to dish out to ship. It was obvious from the few responses that I received. I believe I went googling just to find these experiences because Im doubting going on any further, What I found as so far is lowballer cheap skates. Their fees are higher, but totally worth it to me. and get mad when you reject the offer . On top of Poshmarks commission, I also had a bad experience as a buyer, which left a bad taste in my mouth. I am recently new to Poshmark, and so far have only had great experiences selling and 5-star reviews. eBay is certainly not without its headaches. However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. 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? Then there are the pervert trolls. Thanks. Or the folks that give you a 1-star review with no specific reason. Were you able to retain some of your Poshmark customers with the move (which is one of my biggest concerns as I have a log of repeat business with the vintage jewelry that I sell)? Somehow she came up with screenshots and a fake trackint number (probably a different order altogether!) After a few months, I started seeing tons of foot fetish perverts all over the feed. Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! Its infuriating. And if you get a one star, no one sees that either. I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! I reported both these items immediately but Poshmark decided to ignore me and released the funds to both sellers. One of the reasons I pay that 20% is because Posh gives buyers some kind of peace of mind. Can you not give a bad review to the seller? Let me know if you want anymore details. I offer poshmarks first regret-free promise to sellers. Right now I am in PANIC!I have been in Poshmark for some 3 years and about 2 I decided to make it may official business, I went well for a while but all of a sudden sales got to a halt. If you pay what they are asking, list it for the msrp they suggest, then wait for an offer and Posh taking 20%, you might make a couple of bucks or break even! even though I like /love a lot of the clothes on Posh I think a lot of people didnt take it seriously enough. Why did you accept the offer if you cant ship the item? It is not a great time for e-commerce startups. There is. Once a user is blocked, they will not be able to Like, Comment, Make an Offer, Share or Purchase any of your listings. 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. Poshmark Team Member continues to write back after a period time saying REPLY to this Email and gives me a different to Date to reply back if I have not received the package. Interesting how that works I thought you were innocent until proven guilty but on Poshmark you are Guilty until proven innocent . And many of them are topless men and other men in inappropriate poses. So sorry that happened to you! Im @relovestyle (come say hi) and I will NOT be leaving Posh anytime soon. Any other places I can check out? Your forced to go to there parties in order to view the sellers current items in the feed. It was very cathartic to vent. The item was immediately tossed. Unfortunately, i live in a very small town and the local authorities probably wouldnt be of much assistance. Im new to PM, too. Its just frustrating. Based on experience (and believe me, I know), once the payments made, it isnt necessarily all good! Depression doesnt even cover how I feel. Then suddenly my account was locked after emailing and waiting for the responsewhich was I had ties to an account that had been locked. But lack of sense of responsibility for items listed is what plagues Buyers when it comes to dealing with Sellers who are rather careless, seemingly. Where is the merchandise coming from? There were pictures of the skuffs on my sale page. Sorry if you didnt like my speaking up and posting of my experience. https://poshmark.com/closet/dresstoimpress_. Being a business owner It wasnt a good decision for them either. The only time I had someone return something was because I sold a pair of skinny jeans, but the girl said they werent what she expected because the label said straight jeans. I find that no matter how many followers I solicite, no matter how many shares etc, sales are very very low! 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! Thats basic customer service that I feel any seller should be prepared to provide. Or more pointedly I took my find and risked buying some itms from that brand to resell but thats business (i took , spent & RISKed my own capital to buy wholesale .. to resell!! And yet it looks well-done on the Seller because Poshmark will still list that item as SOLD, so it looks like the Sellers are actually doing well even though they cancel abruptly. Unfortunately, there are just a lot of less-than-honest people out there who want something for nothing and have no problem cheating other people out of their money (or product). Just because I am selling something doesnt mean I want to get 90% less than what I (recently) paid! 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!). Thats what I found so frustrating. And this is exactly why I left Poshmark! The guy asked for a PARTIAL refund because he said he just felt that he paid too much for it. Either shes a scammer who wants to get away with it or simply just a buyer experiencing remorse. The model requires too much of a time commitment to successfully make money selling; 4). But, Im stuck. My new thing due to scammy people- I video tape with the label as I package it- take pics as well incase someone wants to try to say otherwise condition!! Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. I have a Louie Vuitton handbag that I was going to put on Poshmark, but I wont do it now. Can you get banned from Poshmark? I have Traumatic Brain Injury, put so much time and money into Poshing. Ive been a member on the site on and off for a couple of years however it wasnt until the last three months that Ive really been active. I have a buyer questioning the authenticity of a bag I sold herthat is after incessant questions about everything. And they do have a bad reputation for customer service. Very well said and I cant wait to check out your store! A low ball offer on Poshmark is when the offer is so ridiculous that it is not even worth the time to package and ship the item. (2) Ive been on since Nov 2016 as a buyer then started listing in May to Sell. Ive been selling on eBay off and on for the last 15 years and its just extra income for me. Im so upset and POSH will not return my emails. Ive been emailing them because I feel like my buyers arent receiving notifications to accept their item so I always have to wait until the fourth day for my money to finally be released to me. hi! I am just selling stuff from my closet that I cant fit in anymore, I have a ton of clothes & shoes and wanted to see if I could make a little cash off them.
