After this experience, I dont think I can trust anyone on Posh. And I havent had that happen to me before but that def is pathetic upon their part.

I always ask two or three questions. I hate that people are being scammed and the sellers appears to have made a few thousand dollars. Im sorry this is happening to you and sorry about your father. Either way, its disgraceful that Poshmark clearly doesnt take into account the integrity of its sellers (all my items are brand-new with tags, NWOT or in pristine condition from my own personal closet) or their track record. I know for a fact its authentic but Im afraid if for some reason Posh allows the buyer to send it back I wont get MY bag but something else (or completely damaged). Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! Everyone wants items for $5.00 and theyre under the impression that its a garage sale. People want authentic but want to pay $5.00?

I got the dress back and not only did it have snags but there were some tiny white hairs on it. They take weeks to answer your questions and Ive had to cancel a bunch of orders because they failed to ship within seven days. It is not a great time for e-commerce startups. Thats ridiculous! Which is sure to effect sales. Typically since you accepted, they will do a one time refund if you show the wrongful of the description. Im not complaining-a sale is a sale, but I would rather donate things to my local church, which I will, than deal with the antics of greedy people. If youre selling less expensive stuff, eBay might be the way to go. Its insane, now that they have grown there needs to be rules for top rated sellers. Therefore, Poshmark does allow the sellers to file a follow up report if there is an issue with the return. I decided to join a Facebook support group, see if I could learn something.

However, I want to be able to logout all devices to poshmark. 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. Postmarks used my redeemable points. But the thing I couldnt understand they didnt look at the fact I been a great seller for 4 years, They shut me down completely. Now just waiting on Poshmark to decide on the case. I assumed they meant dont speak to her, which I avoided. Thanks for your comment. $270 for a dooney disney bag. So sorry that happened to you.

If you have vintage, those items seem to sale faster there. I hover around 50 or so listings, so not a huge closet, but its nice to make a few dollars here and there. Ialways took great care to make sure every piece I sold on Poshmark was in excellent condition. I havent done anything wrong. Your forced to go to there parties in order to view the sellers current items in the feed. Which all of hers were, so my listing was valid. Good luck on your store! ?What do I do?? My 5th sale was shipped within 12 hours and this was a brand new pair of Electric Yoga leggings that were ordered online. (two and a half weeks later, still no response from Seller) Whatever!!

My advice would be just to cut your losses with this buyer and block him from ever buying from you in the future. I have only been on since the latter part of March this year. It would be nice to see how many times each one of my listings has been seen by potential buyers. But its defiantly worth looking into. Ive been selling on eBay for over 12 years and never really had any issues up until the past couple of years.omg, scammers galore!!! as far as the Posh parties I do not engage in them. Im so sorry for these assholes being mean to you! Thats obviously not happening, so I only made clear the simple fact that this item was not sold, although it is listed as sold. I try to keep off the grid as much as possible. Just seems like so much work but but payoff is so minimal in both cases. Dont respond back to me one said and then she kept going. Which is why most all of my 4th pics are close ups of the tag!! I did write her a comment and called her out on it. Im shocked and disheartened to learn that so many other sellers have experienced the same ABUSE by a company that were keeping in business! Youd think theyd be a little more courteous. The loop that connects the crossbody strap was broken so I thought even with the repair, it was still a steal. Of course poshmark sided with her and now the dress is been sent back to me. My first four sales were all shipped within one day and I received 5 star ratings for all of them. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. Again I contact poshmark no response. It just no longer worked for me. Therefore if you wanted 10 items from 10 different closets, you will be paying over $60 in shipping costs!! 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. Etsy has the safest /best protection for sellers. The reply I received after that was all you had to do was contact me directly. I doubt that there was anything that I could have done about it at that point, since I had already accepted the purchase and it was almost four days by the time I was able to contact her, so Im not sure what contacting her would have accomplished. I dont like the idea of shipping designer things over mail, so I drop it off at their consignment office. Im done for good this time. Well its the old didnt read description re stains.

Why I Quit Poshmark | Stylaphile 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. And yet it looks well-done on the Seller because Poshmark will still list that item as SOLD, so it looks like the Sellers are actually doing well even though they cancel abruptly. Summary. Poshmark Marketplace Marketplace and Deals. I had the same bad experience. Im kind of a new posher. I just found Mercari to be too much of a hassle. 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). Jeanette, unfortunately there is nothing you can really do except block that buyer from every purchasing from you again. Poshmark is very odd. I have 5 pairs of Miss Me Jeans and 2 miss me shorts Im trying to sell that it. I explained that I bought a Free People jacket and it was too small. Can you please tell me more about it. Hope that helps! So if they buy it on a Saturday afternoon and your local PO is closed it doesnt get shipped until Monday and, if Monday is a Federal Holiday then it gets shipped Tuesday and , that is held against your record of shipping even though you had no control over the days the PO was closed . Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. She is claiming I sent a top with iron burn marks! Last week I made four offers and they were all accepted. Unfortunately, I didnt catch it before I hit accept. seriously WTF. The same can happen on an online store with chargebacks and PayPal returns! Ive also had some open cases, 2 favored the buyer and 3 favored me, because as you stated I describe the item great and they still can come up with a lame excuse and say they dont want it. I havent read all the comments, but I suspect most are from a sellers POV. Tell me, how can one judge a black polyester dusty bag with Chanel silk screened On it, real or fake?! My daughter bought it and it did not fit. The most frustrating issue for me is, people dont know the difference between NEW UNUSED and excellent used condition, or pre-loved condition. Ive been called names plenty. I am accustom to going over ALL my samples with a fine tooth comb. I would recommend not doing any more than 4000 shares in a day. Thank you for suggesting Shopify, I am strongly considering it now. 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 also received a blouse that was listed as free people. I have had a bag removed from my closet because someone decided it was fake and reported it . Its not! It just was completely consuming and I found myself buying to sell.. then not selling.. then not getting a return in the investments. In my fifth purchase attempt, the item was promptly shipped and received. Really???? The label was undeliverable. Im so glad Ive found this blog post! I am so sorry that happened to you as well. These people are unbelievable. i am so over Poshmark! Like I posted a hand mixer for $5 just to get rid of it fast and someone send me a $3 offer. But they have approved the request and the bag is now in transit back to me. Upon deletion, any listings you have on your account will also no longer be available, nor will any saved items from other closets. 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. Press J to jump to the feed. Poshmark support is certainly not going to help you. Only recently (within the past week) did someone finally answer my emails and sent me an address to return the dress, not the shoes. Tradesy is great for High Designer Labels and only women clothing. I bet I have spent 8 plus hours a day on there sharing and all that other nonsense.
