I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. Had one guy that put $300 of stuff in his cart and offered me $50. From personal experience, I can say that even some items listed as NWT and NWOT can come with blemishes or damages that clearly put them out of those categories. I know what things cost. I am an avid buyer and only had one bad experience. Most of the advice was to ridiculously raise prices in order to corner the market. I have read a lot of horror stories like this happening to people unfortunately. When I finally opened the package, I discovered that there was not one, but two stains, one on each side and that they were not only very large perspiration stains, but very noticeable. Alexandria. I have no idea how anyone can keep up with that. Unless you sell only high end expensive items its just not worth it. They gave me a 30 credit (it was a several thousand dollar jacket) but at least I received a reply. I think Im done with poshmark for now. So I asked if I could please see photos of the actual jacket. I was pretty smitten, as it was very unusual, and a piece of art, in my opinion. I can live with it. I live in the real world. designer vs non-designer, hip/cool stuff vs regular stuff, vintage vs contemporary). Just because I am selling something doesnt mean I want to get 90% less than what I (recently) paid! I had a buyer try to sneak different items into a bundle after we had negotiated. Im so upset and POSH will not return my emails. Sorry! Plus they only let you add 8 pics. It isnt their decision how I manage my business (and therefore my finances). If you write a comment on your experience on the listing for which the item was canceled for others to see and read, the Seller will block you for speaking up and writing the simple facts of the experience. How to Deal with Low Ball Offers on Poshmark. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. I have 73k followers and Im a Suggested User. And not everyone on Posh is conducting it or their closet as a business. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. Lies! Want to sell on PoshMark? I know the seller can offer a discount or free shipping but then you have to add that amount to make your profit especially on low dollar amount items it just doesnt work . Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. Also the new scam is just to say an item isnt authentic when they wish to return it. The ridiculous reason why!? I just feel so cheated as I am getting back something damaged. 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. And then there is the time suck factor. I found this article very enlightening even though its 4 years old. The logo wasnt aligned properly. Im a new buyer who is thinking about quitting. And since I have more time behind me than in front of me, I cannot rationalize wasting that time on poshmark. Once I launched my store, I never had anyone send me an offer for anything on my site. So expect questions. On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! So, putting it up to silver, it definitely wasnt silver and putting it next to something real gold, it wasnt quite that either. I try to be very specific in listing all measurements and any defects or minor flaws. It looks like they just bumped the shipping to $6.95. The zipper pulls with the brand name felt like plastic. LOL POSH took down all my listings for no apparent reasons im done with this app. First of all, WOW. I very stupidly asked her in a comment what happened to them, they were new That was cause for harassment and I am now banned. Im not sure how long that takes since that was only a day ago. So I went to eBay Mercari etc. I got it Friday after waiting 9 days for it and the label was cut off. My addiction of buying has been ridiculous and I only ever had one issue and they did refund me- someone sent me a leather jacket that was dry rotted split cracked and shredded! Being a business owner It wasnt a good decision for them either. Like eBay and PM are platforms that people go on to shop, but how can I get my online store in front of potential customers? Ive had two situations like this. Its a selling clothes to people thing. The very first item I ever put up, a $35 faux leather jacket I had worn 3 times from Arizona Jeans Co. 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. Me and poshmark have a love hate relationship I love the fact that I can make money without all the footwork but the thing I despise is the fact they have full control over my closet. I just had as case open for me exaggerating the so-called flaws I didnt describe. And guess what? And comments like this always make me wonder too if they are trying to convince themselves. Thank you for making me feel I was not alone. 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. They didnt smell bad, I kept them in a nice box, just like I do with my shoes, and I did take pictures of the signs of wear. People called you a whore because you declined an offer?! Hmmm! So,I message posh. You cannot say anything in response to this, as its against Poshmark Ettiquette Rules!! Thats where wed all benefit! I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. I am so glad to have found your experience. I belong to a few resale groups on Facebook if anyone is interested again I really appreciate your post. However, if also seems like the last year has been miserable on Posh. Around march check out this person page only to find out they list on poshmark, but make sale on FB.I only made 2 sale mostly Bebe dresses NWT and I didnt want to sell anything else for $10.00. . Think of Poshmark as something like Material Wrld, except that instead of selling women's clothing to a company, you're in control of your listings. After finding this blog, and following this comment section, I was inspired to create Beyond Poshmark: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, If youd like some support, or are looking for alternative selling ideas, please check it out . I was so shocked when I received an email that my item was being returned because it was not as described in the listing. The young lady said there were teeny tiny black dots on the upper sleeve, which I knew right then and there I was being scammed. The buyer receives it and a couple days after the tracking says its been delivered, the guy messages me and says its damaged. I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. Why do people take it so personally? So I took all of my inventory and createdmyown online store calledShop Stylaphile. Out of the blue they sent me another label. Maybe so, but if she were looking for jeans with lycra and that was important to hershe should have asked before buying. But started selling upper end vintage and luxury labels on eBay in the late 90s selling to a variety of people but also designers and once in awhile a celebrity. Be sure to include the following information: Their shipping rates are high and so is their commission rate. NOT GOOD. There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. I always say that the truth always comes out. On poshmark you can opt to receive your money by check, which is something that really attracts my attention. Thank you so much Sydney! I am resigned to having a ding on my account so I just told her to contact Posh as I have no access to her payment and they are holding it. Okay, brace yourselves, women! Im sad to leave as I have met some great people and made some needed cash but honestly it is such a relief to be walking away. Now their postal is more than $7! Then that one type of buyer yup, the one described here in the numerous comments. I hope they will get your money back for you very soon!!! The person who received it, I think, either got it too late for the function (their fault) or it didnt fit. I have no recourse and feel I was scammed. I started selling on Poshmark in January 2019. Well give it a few more months and see if its all worth it. She wants How is that allowed?! Will I need to invest in Adwords and really push the marketing side with Shopify? They also said they took it to her local store and they said it was fake. My in search of posts were idiotic.. i explaindd to her why we do it, she still kept calling me an idiot and after I was nice, she then goes on to call ME a bitch! You all know how awful the communication is. Hi Mary! I emailed them about that and of course they NEVER replied and just removed that bag as well. Also, frequently I purchase items and the seller never ships the item or responds to questions about when they will finally ship the item. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. I would write in my description Final Price and Price is Firm, but Poshers would still offer me $5. Nice to see their priorities still havent changed! Thank you for the post. If you have any ideas as to whether or not anything can be done, I would greatly appreciate it. I think I may have had my last straw moment, as well. Thanks! Im getting so tired of people not accepting orders just because they couldnt bother to read, not to mention the rudeness when products dont fit them! If you're not already offering it, Gary recommends you say no! Do you not think that sellers deserve to be compensated a little for their time and effort? An thats what this women did !!! I know you can sell on Pinterest as well:) Or even just share your listings so people can find the link. Ive read her comments and potential buyers have asked for photos of the actual jacket and some other ?s. My first four sales were all shipped within one day and I received 5 star ratings for all of them. And hand wrote a thank you and placed it carefully on top. Also, a lot of people have luck selling on Instagram. I shipped it. Your interaction as a seller to potential buyers should always be friendly and positive so by giving a counter offer you are making an effort to negotiate with a buyer by not declining their offer. Best of luck. The first call took an hour and a half. 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. Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. I hover around 50 or so listings, so not a huge closet, but its nice to make a few dollars here and there. I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. If I have all 5 star reviews the past 4 years and someone complains that should be looked at. 20% of $25 is $5, leaving a seller with $20 for their incredible amount of time sharing, posting and engaging to sell those mittens. How do you get the traffic and the customers? The really cool thing about it is that they are not penalized as long as the cancelation is made within the seven days allowed before shipping is required. Wrapped it in crisp white paper with a simple label to close the folded over paper) I thought it looked minimalist and offer no information on how these amounts are calculated to be deducted on our behalf. Thanks Sydney. Zero protection for the seller! I think Im ready to quit poshmark too. 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. Secondly I sold a pair of knit boots for very cheap because they were not ugg just a cheap look a like and made sure to list that in description due to the fact that they were listed under ugg for exposure. When my package finally arrived..instantly I knew my rock revival jeans were not going to be in that package it was too light. With no real protections, its a huge risk for You and not to Poshmark or the buyer. They were also filthy! So here I sit rambling off I dont have access to my own business I built. It was good to get away for a month vacation and I am hoping to change my reselling strategy. I feel like I am being exploited. ( maybe crammed her fat butt into it and tore it ?) When I saw the photos, it looks as if the stitching snapped as if they tried it on and broke some parts of the stitching, I only say this because the new loose stitching appeared at the waistband and knee. Poshmark Support is not helping to situation but making it worst and long drawn out situation. Their top sellers that call this activity out. They are all about profit and protecting the scammers within their site. It was great while it lasted. I prob have 20 photos of every package. A buyer can go anywhere they choose to buy , but not so much for the seller , so sellers are a dime a dozen , but not so much a buyer .And they know a disgruntled buyer will probably never return , but if a seller has made some pretty good money they will blow off some steam , but will continue to stay . I am in the process of closing my closet. 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 I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. If you stand up for yourself and dont allow them to rip you off, you get indefinitely suspended. Besides that this site is for those who have quit Posh, not those singing its praises! Now I am trying to decide which way to go. 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. Ive been doing this long enough to know which stores will likely buy what (every location has a certain taste or vibe or customer its geared towards so I try to go to the right locations for what I have e.g. I have all 5 stars They always protect me and I only lost 1 dress because I didnt understand, and etsy didnt tell me, China doesnt respect our tracking #s so it was delivered but no tracking proof so she, of course , knew this and filed a never received claim. After doing some research, I think Im going to steer clear of PM. Thank you . Good Luck to all! Very informative and inspiring post! So after about 5 emails that took a month to get an actual response, I was told that I hadnt removed the listing explaining how to spot a scammer. So I said in my listing, fits like a medium. Oh and I also gave the buyer as a gift, a cute little Packers mini piggy bank AND a small lot of other Packers items I had for sale that she admired. There are plenty more who are willing to pay a fair price! I have gotten so many direct emails and messages asking me how I left Poshmark and started my own e-commerce business and Ive finally put everything Ive learned into an e-book. I truly want to figure out what makes Poshmark tick, and the ultimate tricks to make the best and most profitable closet. The sad part is that she has a closet of her own and could have easily re-sold the NEW shirt in her own closet and made more than she paid for it. Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. Costly? I continue to ask the buyer to work with Poshmark directly to return and she keeps asking questions and complaining about the authenticity. Best of luck and keep me posted! NOTE I have been selling on eBay since my now 16yo was a baby and still sell there. Is there any advice for sales to new members on PM? Honestly thought I would get same respect I give, and if not from the buyer; at least from posh support. Your forced to go to there parties in order to view the sellers current items in the feed. Sorry for all those with negative experience but I appreciate that you shared it. Who do they restrict? The ones on the pics she sent Poshmark seems suspicious because it was all closed up of the item, not one pic of the whole shoe. Its discouraging.. I contacted Poshmark stating the item was brand new but I just received a generic response If there are any problems with your returned order when you receive it back, please go to your order in the App or website, tap on Problem/Order Inquiry and report the issue through the Report Problem with Return. button. The problem is that there was no problem with the item to start with! maybe a few are , but most of us know what its worth and it is not what you paid for it. I responded to Poshmark yet there was absolutely no support from them at all. 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!! Disabled for bad behavior with a few pending purchases of my own and a few sales pending. Then in May, I listed many more items; also joined the parties and follow groups. Launched in 2011, it's been around for more than 10 years, which means it's well-established and has policies in place to protect everyone who uses its platform. Very well said and I cant wait to check out your store! So may just focus on that. The only thing you can do is create a business structure and run your online stores just as you will your own shop one day. I think I will check out Tradesey and maybe your idea as well . I actually block more people per day than I end up following because of rude behavior. The beautiful shirt showed up in my doorstep with a note of apology of sorts from the seller. Its the principal of things. Google Ebay sides with buyers and you will get an eye full. And unfortunately without going into details, the garment came back to me damaged. Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! Even this turned out to be a terrible experience. I am new to Poshmark, buyer only, no plans to sell, and went a little crazy picking up quality items for work. I am accustom to going over ALL my samples with a fine tooth comb. Just people on facebook also pissed off that they cant create an account in the first place. We will not be restoring your account as we require users to follow our returns guideline. -slow shipper (shipped same day) CONS: Their customer service is horrific, no phone service, insane lowball offers, buyers not accepting, the 20% fee, their email responses are comical, they look at the subject and copy & paste a generic response.
