Thank you. 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. Often people seem to try to sell used items are thier original price which is just stupid, we can go buy it new at that point! Thats the risk of shopping online !! I love having the control I have over my ShopStylaphile.com site. NOT GOOD. Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. Ill check it out! You are right about some sellers not including enough info. Had not yet wasted my time creating my closet. I had someone buy a top from me, and i told them i would not be able to ship for a week because I was about to go on vacation. And yes, I do list everything as final sale. LeAnn! Took a huggggee break on there. Im new to Poshmark and sold my first listing! All the best note I would seriously try ebay just to get a better feel for online selling and I know my daughter likes Vinted. "My biggest challenge [with Poshmark] is that there are people out there who will make offers that are ridiculously low," said Gary. Part time my a** if you are going to be successful on Poshmark you have to work it constantly and you have to check your emails constantly to assure you havent sold something because , you have two freaking days to get it out . I would like to put my two cents in this!! 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. Replicas are forbidden on Poshmark and I report them every time I see them. Poshmark of course is siding with the buyer and then notified me that I was in danger of loosing my membership because of my response to the buyer telling her that this was impossible and completely rude.now that treat me like bully. me to fix it. Hi Sherri. I have been on POSHMARK for about a month and I am already getting tired of their sharing game,parties and also Lowballers. So odd to me. So sorry that happened to you! When I read all this posh sounds very, very creepy, Hi I have been selling on posh for a year now.theys took all my stuff of there web because I sold a few lipstick I though they were authentic but they turn out to be not,well they owe me $ 90 dollars and its been getting processed since dec 19th I keep emailing them to please deposit my money because I want to delete my account I emailed about 10 to since dec I havent got paid. Yes it takes a lot of time to sell on the platform that Poshmark created, but you can sell on Poshmark for sure!!! There are some pretty simple fixes to your complaints and you just have to determine what you want to put your energy into! 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. There is fraud EVERYWHERE. And I am selling stuff for cheap too but its not moving?? But thats ok I will take my business elsewhere! The issue I have is people not taking their items down when theyre moving and dont take in consideration that we have to one wait for our item then most likely dont receive it and have to wait on our refund which pisses me off! Dont need the stress. Im new to the site. Its so crazy! Anyway, if I sell it will be through the local consignment store because of the bad apple buyers that ruin online selling. Posh does nothing dor its sellers and it is super time consuming. 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. 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. It seems Poshmark has allowed greed to corrupt their business ethics. Keep me posted if you start something outside of Poshmark so I can help you promote it! 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. xo. Its really gotten bad lately with 2 cases opened and 2 lost packages in the last 10 days. Thank you so much for your comment!

How does the BBB have them at an A with all the complaints people have filed?!! Its not even a review. I havent had any major complaints, I do research the buyer or seller before doing any business with them.I have also tried Depop, but still fairly new there. The best thing for you to do is have a blog like Stylaphile that you can use to direct traffic to your site. My bank couldnt find the transaction so I had to wait to see where it landed then catch and re-route. It has been countless hours of trying to fix a problem I did not cause and Poshmark will not help. In the meantime, I did a screenshot everything I could in my sales and purchases. So then I would have to lower my prices to make up for the exorbitant shipping. Is this not consumer fraud? Sellers are also given the opportunity to cancel a sale that has been made. This is why i put all Poshmark to me has the worst lowballers, some of the offers are beyond absurd. Im surprised I continued. Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) 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. Thank you so much for posting this article. I dont have any negative ones thankfully minus a brand new product that someone said was more than gently used (still in packaging) !! They failed to see that the damage first just looked like fuzz. Lowball offers? I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. I hope they will get your money back for you very soon!!! Absolutely PSYCHO. Thanks for all the threads and all the comments. I have sold a few things that I no longer use and got high ratings, but I always fear that moment when not only do I lose the money I just gained (which is OK for me as long as I get my item back), but also I lose the item itself (cuz of course they have to break it or tear it so that they can do this). When Posh closed the case and has the buyer return it. Well duh they are used. I bought a pair of CL so Kate 120m asked the seller normal questions but one shoe in the picture looked bigger so I further inquired and the seller said oh its probably just the angle so I offered 3 x before she finally accepted and then I get them and it took a few strolls around my living room to realize that these heel heights were not the same !!! Aside from having no personal interaction with sellers, backing up sellers, and even posting there is a time suck. Although its taking some time, I am moving the inventory, and due to Mercaris fees and shipping, Im making more than I ever did on PM and I spend very little time! I am getting frustrated that now most of the time when want more information on an item I want to buy, sellers are ignoring my questions. Which is NOT the amount that was there when I shipped it. So sorry you had to experience that! With your own site, you are responsible for driving traffic to it, of course. Once i use those words you bet these people change real quick. I looked into PM last week and decided it was like a high school clique I never wanted to be part of. Ive had a positive experience it just seems stuff doesnt sell that much. I dont have time for social selling. I bought it the next day, which happened to be Christmas Eve. When it finally got to me, poshmark has missed that ALL damage was on one side & it was obvious that someone way too large had tried to stuff her arm in to the sleeve. It has been past the 7 days. And guess what? She did not ask the percentage before buying. She was rude and not what I wanted to deal with. Im so sorry to hear that PM does not treat sellers fairly. Im so tired of dealing with trolls, low-ballers and snotty buyers. If I used poshmark I would have to re-edit literally hundreds of photos! 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! I have many issues with Poshmark myself,and I agree with everything you said,except for one in particular. But after sharing, liking, and following others, there doesnt seem to be much return. You upload items to Tradesy pretty much the same way you do Poshmark, but you dont have to do the continual sharing. 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. By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. ROFL! Needless to say, Im flabbergasted, disgusted and completely in shock that Poshmark would side with a new buyer/Posher who has 0 listings, no info, etc. I was complaining to my bf and he wanted to help out. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. I am currently on Poshmarkbut have a hard time dealing with their promos. I guess she didnt realize that I could cancel the order on my end, but now I have to relist everything. She claimed I must have mailed her item (a jewelry piece) to somebody else when that other person had purchases something totally unrelated and I KNOW hers was the only bracelet I had yet to sell. and what really shocked me was the trolling! 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. The buyer haggled a lot on the prices, each item was listed low already but I accepted an offer and the buyer received all 4 items for just $16. If so how there are no email addresses to market to them. It was a surprisingly emotional experience to realize I fell for this. Go to your settings by tapping the three lines in the upper left-hand corner of the app. The boutiques are growing exponentially and with the shipping, they are more expensive than retail, but wont except returns. Wont make another purchase on there. I took all my items (some cost $495.00 NWTs to my neighbor). I must have sent them 25 messages explaining that I do not use a cel phone and cannot get texts and to verify me an alternate way. Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. Im glad you created youre own store! Im new to PM, too. The carrot they hold out in front of these users continues to mesmerize. (Some of them). I was just wondering where else can I sell my jewelry and get a good traffic. When she got it, she opened a case. They do not care about the seller and honestly I dont even think anyone there speaks English. I am glad I found your blog. I cant say that I am leery of those buying who dont have a profile the reason is that Posh has made it difficult for someone who just wants to shop and not sell. So there are people on poshmark who will bleed you dry if you let them and there are people who will lift you up, dust you off and help you on your way. Everyone wants items for $5.00 and theyre under the impression that its a garage sale. 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. Disabled for bad behavior with a few pending purchases of my own and a few sales pending. I have had it authenticated on a coach forum and also directed her there to ask her own questions and concerns so they could show her what makes it authentic and also pointed her to information/articles. Absolutely agree with everything you had said and your reasons for leaving posh. I dont think poshmark is worth it as a buyer or a seller. I will say this though, as a grown woman who has experienced life from many facets, dont call me hon, sweetie, dearie or whatever other cutesy term you want to address me. When the buyer received the item, they opened a case and claimed that there was loose stitching. I just started selling and already I seem to have gotten a fraud situation. Ok, I get it. 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. That said, Im sure a class-action lawsuit for sellers interested in legal recourse would change Poshmarks tune becauseas Ive read in all these commentsthis is completely unacceptable and out and out THEFT. I would recommend anyone that is considering joining to research!! Can you please tell me more about it. Tap on "Blocked Users." 4. So, putting it up to silver, it definitely wasnt silver and putting it next to something real gold, it wasnt quite that either. Ha! Anyone know if I can file a complain? And I havent had that happen to me before but that def is pathetic upon their part. Like I posted a hand mixer for $5 just to get rid of it fast and someone send me a $3 offer. Now posh gets back to me after 3 days asking me for more pictures and tells me the case is still under review and if I send it back on my own I wont get my money back. But it sucks since I have put whole days worth of time sharing and following in the app. I measured my items where I though necessary & I include information that I know I would probably want to know as a buyer. After seeing your post I may check out some other options. Hopefully something will be done, aside from me probably getting banned from Poshin. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. Poshmark is such a joke of a business. I was looking to buy one, and I really wouldnt mind if its damaged inside. I think poshmark wants you to do all the work, and after sharing, it seems no one even sees it. eBay may be the best for that still, if one has a good inventory. I sold her two UD sprays, a Too Faced palette that I had used and decided I didnt want, and a Kat Von D blush Id found at TJ Maxx. I hate when a seller will say an item is beyond damaged notifies fake issues in pics (believe me they do it) and keep my items as she gets her money back and my item for free and I also get reimburst and low and behold find them on Facebook wearing it!! Watch YouTube videos on How to Sell on PoshMark. Let the buyer and seller negotiate the shipping. (two and a half weeks later, still no response from Seller) Poshmark has a consumer rating of 1.55 stars from 2,457 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. It is perfectly staged, backlit, front lit, in fact, it is lit from every which way possible. I recently took a early retirement and I have been a part of running successfully several businesses and I believe the number one problem with Poshmark is the high shipping fee. I find that no matter how many followers I solicite, no matter how many shares etc, sales are very very low! I deleted it. It was a pinup dress. With the popularity of the 30mm growing, many people are following and welcoming newer users. I started buying on Poshmark two weeks ago, so Im definitely a newbie and just learning the ropes. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. Do people not read that there arent returns of things that dont fit!!!??? And dont get me started on customer service. I was already credited by Poshmark, so this $48.00, rare top was given to me. Thats how I scored a lot of my designer items. Hi! I really regret ever having been involved with it. Listing photos showed otherwise. I only do this for high- end items. I decided to move to Instagram as Shopify is excellent but you need to know some HTML. I bought this bag from Saks and saved money for months to buy it. She waited too long to return it. Usually I sell my items on Ebay, however I thought that my clothing might sell better on a site that was more targeted to, well clothing. I am not sure what to do as I would like to clear my closet out. I got a lowball offer, counter offered, but the buy stood firm to her low offer so no sale. Also I havent sold anything since becoming an ambassador. It works both ways. -made a white with black logo thank you card. Theyre returned to me DAMAGED by the buyer- she STOLE the CC logo off the side of the sunglasses (she actually scratched/gouged it out with some sort of tool) and popped out a frame, cracking it. If the scammers are not monitored by the platform we are selling on, then small online shops are not going to able to have success and the platforms will eventually suffer. The time investment is ridiculous and for what? I am quitting at the end of the month. Sorry for all those with negative experience but I appreciate that you shared it. As funding has dried up for private tech companies, those in the online shopping space have not fared particularly well. I certainly dont miss the time suck, and Im now making a lot more money on my own site than I ever made on the Poshmark app. Ha! That is completely fraudulent and insulting. For $50. Oh yeah. Its just frustrating! I didnt know until this blog that you could block certain buyers so thank you for that information! There has to be some kind of truth to their experiences, that can not be ignored. The first time I was active for three years and did pretty well, however, when Poshmark opened their platform to all markets, enter the trolls, the scammers, the perverts, and the con artists. Lisa, Im hearing more and more stories like this, and I too, had my share of sales that were canceled by Poshmark because once I purchased, the seller never responded. Oh then I deleted the item and relisted. Its pretty silly I dont have to do that when I am buying online. 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. Id rather take my stuff the the consignment shop I go to. I sold a few things right away and was happy about that. Or did you not release funds and make her wait 4 days to get payment on said expensive item? But my question is, How did you make the switch? Any post before that day is free. Ive read her comments and potential buyers have asked for photos of the actual jacket and some other ?s. 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. One of my tricks to protect myself is I use a tyvek wrist band with my store name written on it using a permanent marker and string it around the tag loop of your garment to protect the authenticity in case a return is file. They have very poor business practices to say the least. I complained to Poshmark and they sided with her. My 5th sale was shipped within 12 hours and this was a brand new pair of Electric Yoga leggings that were ordered online. I have tried to be super helpful and answer her questions and I just dont think she wants to hear it. Just ship it back for free if you dont like it. from my research of the Posh parties everything I read up on them said that the posh leaders of the parties mainly promoted their own product and that very few people got a lot out of the Posh parties so again bc time is limited for me I do not bother to participate. I was excited to see that Posh mark keeps your stats on file as I always strive to be the best. On the sales page across from where is says order status their is a drop down that says Problem?Order Inquiry When you click that drop down one option will say, report a problem with a return. Honestly I would have been happy to arrange a return ( bc it is a costly item) if she had just told me -hey It doesnt fit canI pls return it .. then I could have gotten it back undamaged and resold but instead i have a $200 brand new suit that is ruined. Im so over it right now. And it turned out that for me, it wasnt. We know it's tempting to describe your boucle jacket as "Chanel like," "similar to Chanel style" or "inspired by Chanel," but that's actually a violation of trademark law, even if that item . Now I am trying to decide which way to go. I asked the seller if it was authentic, she said yes. Not sure which freaky post that name was on The one name that responded to 2 posts i mentioned was listed as Mark7369847548. Mercari didnt do anything but send me the same copied and paste reply that I was shit out of luck. I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. Its going to be a big job moving my 250 items from Poshmark to other platform but I cant wait. Sellers continue to tie themselves in knots trying to figure out how to maximize sales on this platform, as everything about Poshmark is clouded in a mystery and ineptitude that keeps its users chasing. The $9.98 maxi dress ( plus $2.99 shipping) I bought on ebay, from China..is all over Poshmark, selling for as high as $60if you peruse ebay, and those budget Asian stores ( Shein, Sammydress,floryday..the Wish appyou csn expect to see the same items , usingvthe same stock photos(!!!)
