I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. 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. I dont have many followers and Im new to selling online. Boom, done. Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. Then I noticed people only offer a fraction of that. Its really massively time consuming for a very low return. You dont realize how much time youre committing to this platform until you stop. I sell on Posh and have been pleased with things so far, but I am waiting with dread for the first bad buyer. The boutiques are growing exponentially and with the shipping, they are more expensive than retail, but wont except returns. 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. I see that I have active offers, but I dont know how to accept them and how do I get paid? I would like to put my two cents in this!! I took great pictures, described the item honestly, even a picture of the label and took size measurements and posted them. The buyer has no profile or closet. Then I got a few weird troll comments- thats when i learned there are a$$holes on there just out to be rude. With no real protections, its a huge risk for You and not to Poshmark or the buyer.

There are other options besides Poshmark, like Tradesy and even eBay that arent quite as time consuming. If I had received something that I didnt like and that hasnt been the case Ive loved everything then I would give it to somebody else or do something else with it but you dont ask for someone to take it back when its a final sale and you cant say its not as represented but its misrepresented because theres really no representation of the item at the site its simply a photograph with a very brief description.

In my opinion, at the very least, the whole site should be shut down. amking45 @dhampyre hey are you bored or something???? Is EBay worth it? As strictly a buyer, I cringe to hear these stories but always suspected that there are potentially steep challenges to selling items on these platforms. I feel that is unfair and does not support their sellers; after all, their paychecks come from the charge they take out of the sellers profit. Time to quit I think. So sorry that happened to you! Do not give them a try. I cant even use Poshmark at all it wont even let me make an account. Caitlin, 6. It seems like this type of activity is picking up across all of these platforms. Their shipping rates are high and so is their commission rate. These scammers really make you lose faith in humanity!

Its going to be a big job moving my 250 items from Poshmark to other platform but I cant wait. I bought a BRAND NEW IN BOX item and this has been used. 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. I contact the seller and she blocked me. Its one thing to receive a request to return an item, its another story to have a third party inspect it, approve it, send it on and STILL approve their request to return for not being as described. I take pictures of all the alterations on items if any, and any wear and tear, such as the fraying on the bottom of jeans. I really regret ever having been involved with it. 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). Happy poshing! So they say, that money could be used to purchase other items!! With so many tools at your disposal, we thought itd be helpful to create a one-stop guide to see exactly what these features and tools have to offer. Just like Uber, the only people making the bucks are the Posh creators!! It shouldnt be like this and it is infuriating. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Major Time Suck big time !!! Is other sellers there is so many desperate sellers that will mess with you and try to piggy back off your listings it is unbelievable. I find myself having these same issues. The bad thing about this is the other Poshmark accounts are basically wanting a sell more than wanting to make a purchase. I deducted that they were probably too small for her. Good luck!! I can hardly believe there are people who can sleep at night when they list these things for $48!

Well, the right one was a little snug, then I tried to put on the left one and it is so narrow, its got to be defective!! You were the kick in the pants I needed, and the shared perspective made me realize things arent going to get better on Posh. I came across your article, and Im so glad I did! Its been way more time and pain in the rear then what I have gotten back. Its about being social and every one is selling inspired by labels (knockoffs), despite PMs supposed policy against it. The frustrating part about the offer process is you can only write numbers, no words like : What is the lowest you would go? That way they and I both feel we got a good deal and the process would be much less of a time suck. If Poshmark didnt protect itself from spammers, the platform would be ridden with bots and wouldnt be the healthy ecosystem it is today. Period. For example, if you're in the Men's market, and your closet is all Women's items, your closet will look empty. I started on Posh to pay my sons medical bills from this past summer and the only thing I feel Ive gotten from Posh are migraines, a stronger eyeless prescription and the feeling of being isolated from my family. I cant deal with such people. And not everyone on Posh is conducting it or their closet as a business. It would be easy for a new website to come along and save sellers, and buyers, $$$$$. However, where one has a pro its the exact con for the other. What is interesting to me is I will click on the hosts of various parties and some of them dont even have any items to sell or they have nothing to sell in their closet that matches the party which is odd to me. You certainly dont see anyone sending $5 offers to Macys, Target, or Zara, do you?. It is only $65.00 and I am glad it was not one of my very expensive items hat I have not listed. Some girl ruined my swimsuit and then Poshmark return it to me. Proof within itself! I highly recommend that Poshers not put all of your eggs in one basket. Ugh frustrating but not losing hope! I have all 5 stars I was appalled as this had never happened to me before! Not only am I tired of low ball offers. I think we should be able to review the buyer. No problems! I wish I could wrap my head around why people are so unnecessarily rude. I hate to try on clothes, so if I saw something I liked, Id buy it. Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. People who offered reasonable prices were ostracized. I have been doing this for a year now with some success, nothing crazy but I have sold some things and I enjoy packaging the items with a thank you note and a little gift.
