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)? I have clothes that, initially, I wanted to Sell on Poshmark, but I think Ill definitely give Depop a consideration instead.

Because it sold for above $500 it had to be sent first to Poshmark offices for authentication. 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. Well I am glad I came across this blog and disappointed in POSH.

Simply copy and paste the HTML below the badge you'd like to use directly on your site, making sure to insert your Poshmark username in the URL as noted within the code. Just a tip I photograph EVERYTHING as Im packing each item. The carrot they hold out in front of these users continues to mesmerize. The shoes were only worn once, and I had pics of everything. Now i did have one case opened up by a buyer trying to get something for free and Poshmark did not honor the buyers request at all. I block about 20 to 30 sellers a day with ease and never look back. Well the women purchased this brand new dress from me an I mailed it out on the same day as she wanted it for a weekend party .. so I went above an beyond an she received it an on the 3rd day she opens a case against me claiming that the sizing wasnt right an it couldnt of been a size Large 12-14 , an wanted her money back ! They gave me a 30 credit (it was a several thousand dollar jacket) but at least I received a reply. overall Im having an okay experience .Ive sold less than $200 in the last 6 months which is not great but again its bc a lot of people on Poshmark like you said want something for practically nothing!! I havent sold or purchased anything on there for at least a year now. Sure enough they opened a case once I was on vacation and sent them back, fine no big deal.

I sold a very rare jar of MAC pigments (a discontinued shade, worth a lot of money). now this just leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. HOW is that possible ? Wow.. So I tried to relist all my listings but Poshmark won't even let me do that! Have you tried Tradesy? I sold $2,000 last month (April), all preowned items, and expect more in May. Once you enable Vacation Hold, a banner will be displayed on your closet AND every listing will be marked as Not For Sale. They gave the buyer back the money. This article seems to bring to attention the Seller experience, but for myself as a serious Buyer, rather, there are too many ongoing occasions where the Seller accepts my offer and then 3 days later flippantly cancels with no cause for cancellation to the Buyer. I originally planned to begin selling items, but when I discovered the 20% commission I changed my mind. I came back from vacation to all of that and just shipped her top and deleted the app. But then I read BigCommerce and the others will automatically integrate with Instagram and create my Instagram shopnot sure. Is this not consumer fraud? They STILL approve the return and send the item back even with supporting documentation! Recently I started putting more time into it and I noticed that I actually started to see more purchases! It takes more time than it is worth and Im seeing the writing on the wall before going any further. I do realize some are killing it there and they say they have employees who help. No comments. In my opinion, at the very least, the whole site should be shut down. So here I sit rambling off I dont have access to my own business I built. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. Buyer asked NO questions, asked for NO additional photos, did no offers, took forever to get for some reason and then opened a case. I try not to get upset about stuff like that but sometimes I do bc in all my listing I clearly State no low-ball offers will be acknowledged so when they do it they deserve to get blocked!! I always say that the truth always comes out. I sold those NWT item only for $10.00 to get my feet wet and get my 5 stars only to find out that no one can even see those rating. There customer service is horrible, especially for what they charge! Thats ridiculous! All I want to do is make a little extra money without donating. I recently sold a pair of DISTRESSED AE skinny jeans in amazing condition (I considered keeping them for myself) & the buyer gave me a 3 star rating saying that the threads over the distressed holes were in bad shape. Like uhhh theyre distressed jeans so theyre meant to be that way?! Now just waiting on Poshmark to decide on the case. So this $185 dress which I sold for $95 is ruined!! I just found Mercari to be too much of a hassle. I dont buy items to resale, everything is from my closet and most all still have tags attached, never used, or if so, maybe once. I also use Tradesy. Wow! 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!! Your perspective is valued but wait until you get the gutter rats who comment calling you a whore for no reason Bc you declined an offer and explained why and they cuss you out. Selling is not for me. I dont know how to start my own website or market it but congratulations to you. Hey there friends I dont exactly want to say that Im glad I came across this blog/platforn, but it has without a doubt helped me to verify my personal issues with these so called trolls, and shed some more light on the recent 2021 downfall of many of Poshmarks users morale. -made a white with black logo thank you card. You should take photos and send to Poshmark and get that user BANNED for life! If you come to my Closet and start the games i have learned so much on how to steal your buyers i will do it! Since Posh Ambassador came out. Wow thats horrible! I told Mercari theyd lost a very valuable, and honest seller. I have since had two additional sales that have five star ratings so but I feel that it is irrelevant to Posh. Absurd right. I have blocked that buyer from every being able to view my closet again and in the future (until I decide to close my closet) I will take photos of all items prior to shipping and make sure that the Poshmark shipping label is included in every shot!! I also dont like that they want you to spend hours every week on the site liking and following others. Just like Uber, the only people making the bucks are the Posh creators!! I document all my listings with REAL photos, measurements (actual measurements) and answer any questions. Sorry for the diatribe! They do CCO and other opportunities that are NOT opportunities, its how posh makes more money, not us so dont fool yourself. You take a chance to see if something fits or not- its not OUR problem as a seller if it does not fit you! I completely agree! Sorry to hear about your experience on Poshmark. Not so. Select your profile picture at the top-right of the page. You also can send the pictures to posh and have them disput it, and refund you or have you send it back to her. Im not sure if I will buy through Poshmark again. Also how to people get their hands on all these designer bags to consign? I deleted my account about 2 years ago (also out of frustration and disgust with their business practices) and though they tried to entice me to stay, I was able to completely separate from them. Maria, this is terrible! Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. I just figured, since it was such a huge time commitment, why not commit that time to myself and my own business? When this item left my possession, these were brand leggings with no flaws, I just took them out of the bag for goodness sake! Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. In real life I own a business the owners of the mall would never lock me out of my shop. The pictures the BUYER had submitted showed HER with a knife or sharp object sticking thru my jeans and ripped the stitching. When the buyer received her item she filed for a return. I feel like I am being exploited. She is claiming I sent a top with iron burn marks! Already I can tell I am putting in a ton of time to get followers, follow others, share, likes and what not. Thanks for starting this thread. Firstly, she was trying to take advantage of someone who was in a very emotional situation, and who knows how many times this ploy has worked in the past for her but I cant be bullied and I wont tolerate a manipulating opportunist having a temper tantrum because I didnt give in to her berating. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Like items to get notified of sales or price drops. I opened my account on January 31,2017. Hope that helps! 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. She has no listings. Youve expressed so many of my frustrations as well! Ha Ha Ha oh Posh purchasers! I still have my store but I dont do anything with it. Ppl dont usually tell the down side of things. He had flown it, crashed it, and was trying to return it. I will only ever use Poshmark to buy because the prices are great and the variety is nice because sometimes eBay doesnt have any listings for a particular item I want but I cant be bothered to sell on Poshmark and this post confirms it. And Poshers damaging an item to get a full refund? So dysfunctional. You need to find out if they reported this to Posh. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. They just said sorry the buyer has been refunded. End of story. xo. Happy poshing! It has left me mortified that trolls like this exist on this site and poshmark does nothing. The first call took an hour and a half. Therefore, Ill have to reconsider Poshmark to sell my vintage wears on because I really dont need that aggravation. I send in a request in December to become a suggested user and got no response. Its true! The person who responded to both of these used exact same sentence, about asking if they were still available and gave his gmail address. Their top sellers that call this activity out. She claimed it arrived with holes in it. I really need to cancel it because I made a mistake in ordering. I do not hate myself enough to list there. After a couple of years hiatus on Reddit as well, I decided recently to check-in on the 2-most popular Poshmark subreddits. I decided that, if the stain was barely noticeable, it wouldnt matter if I was unable to remove it and I went ahead and purchased the dress. Whoever these people are, no nothing about products! Totally understand. They were orgininally in a bundle but one of the shorts in that bundle got bought by another seller so in the description I made sure to explain that those shorts were sold and reflected it in the price ($10 for each). I have had a 5 star rating, about 25 sales so far. Y agree. 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. Do not give them a try. Im done with them! Launch the Poshmark app (for Android and iOS) from your device. The dress arrived while I was working and it was three days before I was even able to open the package and examine the dress.

I think its around $50 for a booth rental on weekends and like $250 for an enclosure for the month but its been a while since I have been out there so prices might have changed. Just browsing through the brands, i was horrified by multiple posts in 10.Deep that appear to be selling people or offering their services. But most alarming was a picture of a young boy with the user name listed as hump87. talk about a time suck! Thank you for this article, its very helpful and makes you really think about why someone is wasting their time to rush off to ship things if people dont even bother to accept it right away. Because of those experiences, I am now extremely cautious when purchasing from places like Poshmark and eBay. They didnt even answer his question! I dont like that poshmark doesnt stand for the sellers. Its enough to make you really irritated, if youre that picky you could always try asking or leaving a comment warning first that youre going to be that particular and will act like a miserable brat when your never used $120 retail item you bought for an offer of $18 smelled either too nice or not nice enough! Thats a clear signal to Poshmark that youre doing something thats not normal. However, if also seems like the last year has been miserable on Posh. Anyway, Poshmark is nothing like Ebays fair policy. The loop that connects the crossbody strap was broken so I thought even with the repair, it was still a steal. The most frustrating issue for me is, people dont know the difference between NEW UNUSED and excellent used condition, or pre-loved condition.
