I would love to start my own site, but I have little presence on social media currently (working on it) and worry about getting the necessary traffic to make the monthly fees worth it. A lot of people were interested and someone bought it almost immediately. Thank you for the post. For example, (real experience; comment section): Buyer name (myself): dhampyre I also let my regular customers from Poshmark know that my closet had moved. Do you not use them because your items are not new? I opened my account on January 31,2017. I would recommend reporting it to the local authorities, or Tweeting publicly to Poshmark to get a response. Is this not consumer fraud? Probably no more than $15 dollars. No worries. She said, no gurl.just send it as it is. But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. I also told the folks at Poshmark about the discount thing. By the way, my real name is Ann. Therefore, Ill have to reconsider Poshmark to sell my vintage wears on because I really dont need that aggravation. I am so glad to have found your experience. But after sharing, liking, and following others, there doesnt seem to be much return. high fees and noone is serious. The jeans were brand new and never worn. Reason #2. Then in May, I listed many more items; also joined the parties and follow groups. Great, think I. I lost a lot of weight recently, and have had to replace virtually my entire wardrobe. . I however, am photographing extensively anything bought from my closet before shipping!! Out of the blue they sent me another label. 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! The first call took an hour and a half. So after 8 days and no help from them, I deleted my items and cancelled the one sale and left a detailed message for the buyer, who, if she has any kind of brain, ought to have the sense to look on other selling sites if shes interested in my item. Got to a hand it to her you cant take pictures of an odor. He was unaware that he bought anything. https://poshmark.com/closet/dresstoimpress_, http://bigcommerce.evyy.net/c/380173/185949/2941, https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business, https://seekingalpha.com/article/4497193-poshmark-inc-posh-ceo-manish-chandra-on-q4-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript. Hi Liz! Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. Now posh has raised shipping to 6.49. I have 5 pairs of Miss Me Jeans and 2 miss me shorts Im trying to sell that it. If its used whatever you get is a profit. I havent sold anything. Your account is now deleted. Again, after reading all these stories, Im sure it wont turn out well for my case based on Poshmarks inability to support the sellers that actually make the company moneybut Im sure theyd listen to a lawsuit asking for damages/compensation. 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. I joined last October in search of something to purchase. I dont know if you are familiar with hosting a party on Posh but I messaged them about it and they sent me some form and said your closet has to be compliant, etc., etc. Hi! The short version. The one in my size, the seller only shows stock photos. That makes me uncomfortable! I am just concerned about traffic. Im both an active buyer and active seller on Posh. Im so livid. So I tried to relist all my listings but Poshmark won't even let me do that! Im so sorry for these assholes being mean to you! I contact the seller and she blocked me. I was informed that I have to wait while they review the case. https://poshmark.com/closet/dresstoimpress_. Why do you feel you would get burned? Their customer service has been a complete turn off for me and Im done using them after the earning from my last sale come through. Maybe one day Ill create something of my own. Very informative and inspiring post! Hi! They sided with her & I got a damaged coat back. Its really massively time consuming for a very low return. However, where one has a pro its the exact con for the other. In addition, of course, to checking out your shop. I myself been with them from the beginning. $300 down the drain. Also, if the buyer isnt happy with the purchase, Tradesy handles the return. Lots of sharing, questions but no sells! and who is CLEARLY either: 1. pulling a bait-and-switch with her own damaged bag (again, in her one photo, you cant even see the entire bag, whereas I have 8 photos of my bag in the listing) OR Thank you again though! This is my last resort because usually the payout from selling by mail is lower than in store (which, makes sense, I live in NYC which is pricier than where their warehouses/HQ usually are) and selling by mail also means anything they dont take theyll donate unless youre willing to pay to have them return your stuff, so I usually just wave goodbye. He is still out there after a few months. i will be for now on or only going to sell locally and hand it off in person! If youre selling less expensive stuff, eBay might be the way to go. 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. Theyre the reason I stopped accepting offers on Poshmark altogether. The buyer, with three followers, complained that my new Reed Krakoff bag smelled like manure and was stained all over. They have to review it Bc they have all acesss to any messages comments regardless the acct listings are gone or not.. they should finish their reviewing and hopefully refund you esp since the chick disappeared if the pictures make it look totally deceiving! Wow thats horrible! Dont respond back to me one said and then she kept going. ?Can they keep my money. So this $185 dress which I sold for $95 is ruined!! Also i feel we should be able to rate buyers as well. I am well aware of the ups and downs. Ive now opened my own boutique at http://www.onlinesplurge.com. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. Thankfully, Poshmark updated to 8 pictures so that helps a lot with posting pics of authentic merchandise. It was great while it lasted. To find your report, head to the Account Tab on the app. Unfortunately, I didnt catch it before I hit accept. I was so sad to read all these experiences above, I too love my followers and have actually made some close friendships via Posh but it looks like it is time to move to another platform. Everyone wants to sell their stuff , but not everyone wants to buy . Note, this doesn't opt you into Poshmark-related emails. And Poshers damaging an item to get a full refund? Using the dropdown menu, select the reason you are deleting your Poshmark account. Ive been on here for 5 years. It is only $65.00 and I am glad it was not one of my very expensive items hat I have not listed. The others "Can't be found". I was very detailed in my descriptions as well and was referring to the people that continually ask questions without looking at the description first. (Some of them). I feel like A. they buyer regrets their purchase or B. they are trying to pull some sort of scam. Through a lot of research, I found out that the seller, who had a decent rating, was something of a fake because he was on his third (at least) name and actually had a bad reputation. A crazy lady has been harassing me for over a week and I realized all the things you describe. Endlessly. A majority are on here to make a few bucks, etc. I was already credited by Poshmark, so this $48.00, rare top was given to me. $5 or less offers. Im so upset and POSH will not return my emails. Posh many times does not care about it being a prohibited item or even a replica because they get their 20% from the sale. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. Which is NOT the amount that was there when I shipped it. I do not understand who authenticates on PM? I figured out early on to block people with no listings and thousands of followers.number seekers. My first item ever listed. Also her poor, low-lit photos of the spots were blurred. I have been on posh for 6 mo. Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. I havent sold or purchased anything on there for at least a year now. There is no health insurance, life insurance, 401K, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, advancement opportunities. Everyone wants items for $5.00 and theyre under the impression that its a garage sale. Tradesy takes up to 2 weeks to release your fund and transfer to your bank. (The seller, the one who said no offers would be accepted, remember her? Wow! Hope your store is still doing well, as Im sure you are! (Seller finally makes a response right after, although a very questionable one, again a little more than two and a half weeks have gone by) Yes huge time suck, and if you do not put in the time no sales. Have you tried Tradesy? It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! 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! I never buy from those that dont respond, no matter how much I want the item. This thing looks like it was probably made in China with the cheapest quality fabric available certainly the thinnest! I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. Again, there should be more seller protection offered by Poshmark when it comes to trolls like these and Poshmark scams in general. And more importantly, I dont have to deal with the following Poshmark problems that caused me to quit altogether. I feel the creepiest aspects of the platform is the psychological manipulation of requiring resellers to share (presenting it as a positive community activity sellers supporting other sellers) so that the mysterious algorithm will reward them with sells; sharing equals free labor driving the activity of the platform, which the same resellers pay more to use than other selling platforms. eek..i have only bought things on Posh and I have only bought things that I absolutely recognized as authentic from web sites, catalogs or stores. And since I have more time behind me than in front of me, I cannot rationalize wasting that time on poshmark. Just curious if it was zipped up on the photo how someone could claim the zipper didnt work. Well notify you when the price drops on an item youve liked. It seems like Poshmark hasnt taken a real interest in their brand promise. Her work has been featured in Digital Trends, Willamette Week, USA Today, and more. People offer half the price for a listing. This IS NOT the bag I soldyou cant even see the entire bag shes claiming is mineand yet Poshmark approved the return! Again described, photographed, and noted ALL damage! No response does not work for me if I must hand over an unworn item with tags attached for authentication. Anyone who gets mad because they arent making money is being silly.. OMG!!!!!!! @splinkink Im so sorry you are having to go through this. 3. I was devestated!!! Only *this* many words long. The seller has just as much to lose as the buyer. However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. Out of nearly 2000 sales, 99.99% were 5 stars, they deposit $ very quickly & great social environment. I have only had 3 cases opened and 1 was for sending the wrong size shoes and the other was for sending the wrong color shorts both were my mess-up and i honored the return no problem at all. I have been buying actively on Poshmark and also have a few sales. They used to. Well I am glad I came across this blog and disappointed in POSH. Also, really hard to spot bad buyers as sellers cannot leave negative feedback (we used to be able to in the early days)! The jar was 3/4 full. Good luck with your site! When she received it, she filed a case with Poshmark help stating that the zipper didn't work. As another person committed here, we women need to recognize the VALUE of our time! What? These are the people you rush to the post office for so you can get their item delivered ASAP, but thenonce they get it, they dont even bother tomark it as received. I feel poshmark staff needs some kind of guide book to fallow. The dress was sent back. She went on multiple listings and wrote terrible things. One thing Ive noticed with new apps, is they do seem to listen to the customer. I am very disheartened I spent so much time listing items, repeatedly having to reword my listings due to ridiculous character limits. Im on posh and dont have any complaints. Ive reported the issue to the BBB. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. eBay gives you 12. My honest opinion on PM: It is great for someone like me I am a graduate student who likes to shop. I started selling on Poshmark in January 2019. Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. Sure enough, she gave me a 1 star rating and checked off every available area for improvement. This unfortunately happened to me. People want authentic but want to pay $5.00? Second. Im currently selling on pm And it can be time consuming sharing.
