Check it out, here! Then there was the person who claimed Id insulted them and when I asked what the hell comment I had made, I got the same copy and paste reply that I should watch how I talk to people. 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! Keep me posted if you start something outside of Poshmark so I can help you promote it! Bought it and didnt bother with the site until cleaning out after Christmas and thought Id try selling. If youre selling less expensive stuff, eBay might be the way to go. Can you not give a bad review to the seller? Whoever these people are, no nothing about products! If you want one necklace, you pay over $6 in shipping costs!! I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who felt this way about Poshmark. I also had issues with women on there. Just constant drama and bs. I have many new things in my closet that I have never worn or touched as my style has changed over the years. Again, thats one of the reasons I quit! It was a pinup dress. It just baffles me how people can do stuff like that! Do you not think that sellers deserve to be compensated a little for their time and effort? Ed The Reselling Rider 751 subscribers 1.7K views 10 months ago Poshmark closet disappeared? 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. Starting my own business. Time will put this poorly conceived and terribly run business in its proper place. So frustrating & trying to not take it personally and/or quit since I have 2 more boxes of clothes coming to resell. Ridiculous amounts of time finding, listing and sharing until my fingers are numb. Absolutely PSYCHO. It also took 11 days to arrive from 4 hours awayapparently she was wearing the shoes. Im tired of low balls and comments on my listings about where to get it cheaper. Not sure how many will understand that silly you tube reference. I was pretty smitten, as it was very unusual, and a piece of art, in my opinion. Seeing the number of comments here going on about what a shitstorm Poshmark is here just tells me to stay the hell away from it. Yes, there is still the good old fashioned consignment store, I sell on Mecari and saw a huge difference in sales from Posh. Poshmark share jail is a way for Poshmark to keep bad-actors off the platform. Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. The most recent experience is awful. Major Time Suck big time !!! Thanks for the comment! Ha, like that will ever happen! My "Meet Your Posher" Post is also missing. Im so sorry to hear that PM does not treat sellers fairly. Thats AWFUL!!!!!! I obviously had the same feeling as you. I see many closets where you know the item was sold on a different site. Im still selling on the site, although Poshmark fees are extremely high. TrendsTrends are another way to shop, explore, and discover new listings through shoppable collections of trends and brands, such as Coach Handbags Under $50 or Mens North Face Jackets & Coats. These curated collections usually feature the items and brands that are currently trending, giving you access to whats hot right now. By the way, my real name is Ann. My PM days are done!!! The buyer has to provide photo proof showing how the item does not match the listing description. I just found Mercari to be too much of a hassle. Clearly, it was more than just share jail. I have sent them a message, I know it will be a while before I get a response, so I am hoping someone here can give me some insight as to what may be going on? Im basically on PoshMark to sell. NOT GOOD. I agree with you 100%. She is claiming I sent a top with iron burn marks! I would love to help you out by getting it off your hands. Can you imagine doing $250,000 of business a year with a company, and them getting 12%, about $30,000 a year, and them not picking up the phone? I appreciate your thoughts here. Bundle & Save! Lowcountry's Closet (@my_poshboutique) | Poshmark We will not be restoring your account as we require users to follow our returns guideline. 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. Just seems like so much work but but payoff is so minimal in both cases. I hired a virtual assistant for a week and plan on changing my password. I found that people buy items quicker when all the important information is right there and they dont have to contact you and wait for you to eventually read your email and respond to them. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. The zipper pulls with the brand name felt like plastic. Im so upset and POSH will not return my emails. Its that easy. I only had my closet for a few months and sold (basically for free 5 items. It seems Poshmark has allowed greed to corrupt their business ethics. How do you get the traffic and the customers? One of the embassador Poshers bought my Burberry rain boots for $50 (a great deal), and later on filed a complaint saying that the boots smelled horrible and that they had stains and blah, blah, blah she even said that she wanted to keep them at no cost even though I asked her to return them for her money back. It definitely didnt. blah. So she makes her accusation and I respond saying I packaged it and even sent her the receipt. I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Or buyers that damage the item on purpose. Very frustrating, Jeanette, I hope you see my comment. So far from the truth. I received an email stating it was removed because it was counterfeit! I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. Costly? Have been having some of the same issues. I grew my closet, made many sales, became a suggested user with a 5 star rating. As for advice, you can open your own store like I did on Shopify, or if you dont have HTML knowledge, you could try BigCommerce here: http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt. Thank you for your honesty and sharing comments like these because it will save people like me, a whole lot of time and money and prevent nightmares for others, like the ones you all have had!! Im thrilled that for some people, it works. Youre better off selling on eBay or Tradesy, where there is a bit more protection. An app where you can load a pic and it will tell you if it can be located anywhere else on the internet. I was informed that I have to wait while they review the case. My computer is all the tech I need. So, putting it up to silver, it definitely wasnt silver and putting it next to something real gold, it wasnt quite that either. Reading this helped me so much. Poshmark is an e-commerce website and app where users can buy and sell used or new clothing, accessories and home decor from millions of closets. Im not one to negotiate with women who know exactly what they are doing and the average price of what a LeVian and David Yurman ring sells for. Only recently (within the past week) did someone finally answer my emails and sent me an address to return the dress, not the shoes. People are so cruel!! New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. seriously WTF. Ive had far more positive reviews than negative but lately a huge influx of negative when I havent done anything different. I have sold quite a bit with no problem, but bad buyers dont care about that and poshmark much less. I am quitting at the end of the month. Im working on a competitive app that will do just that and more! Overnight????? What a farce! The seller contacted me and said her entire closet was thrifted and apologized profusely. 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 description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. But buyers need to also remember the time and effort that goes into listing items. Mind you she sends a photo an no disrespect ladies but she was more like a size 18-20 definitely not a junior large ! I do not hate myself enough to list there. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. I have been having these same problems ! Sorry! When I explained to her that I was unable to leave the rating and feedback before that time due to my busy schedule, she replied with insulting remarks. Like, if youre going to run an online store, at least attempt to be professional/prompt. The Seller posted a picture of New With Tags No Box for a pair of Toms shoes I had been interested in. I have seen people record packaging and shipping an item (which is sad that something that extreme is needed for seller protection) Youre right people are crazy! Did you get to take your followers with you? Well today, for the first time, I received an email from Posh stating that a case had been opened against me. Unfortunately there are sellers who only post stock photos and those who dont like questions. This last time I ordered was past the 7 day mark and Poshmark would not let me cancel it from their website. Just tap the button to have the report emailed to you. I am completely disappointed and how PM has handle the situation and will not sell on their platform anymore. Hope that helps! I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. They think that a seller that has made a few dollars on their site is way more invested in their site than a buyer . I sold on Ebay for several years with a consistantly high rating (99-100) and when I had a couple of unfounded lower reviews, they restricted my selling! She bought a $15 kylie Jenner lipgloss tube and when she received her package she claimed I had sent her an empty box. 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. Of all the online apps Ive ever used, Poshmark customer service is by far the worst. It saves you a ton of time and helps you make more sales on Poshmark. You provided food for thought. I made a listing within my closet, never stating her name (1-bc her user name changed frequently) I simply used her stolen pics and showed fellow honest Poshers how to use Veracity. Thanks for the comment Angelica! Drop the price at least 10% and choose a shipping discount. Thankfully, Poshmark updated to 8 pictures so that helps a lot with posting pics of authentic merchandise. But the MAIN reason I will not do posh is because of the very restrictive photo requirements. 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!! A punitive feedback system totally biased towards the buyer. I decided anyone who gives me anything 3 stars or lower without good reason gets blocked and cannot buy from me again. Somehow she came up with screenshots and a fake trackint number (probably a different order altogether!) Just seems ebay and others do not protect sellers yet they make the money from us! One little thing they dont like and the thriving business you been working the last few years at is gone! When I did that, my closets bio link disappeared, and I wasnt able to follow anyone anymore. Youre going to be okay. A crazy lady has been harassing me for over a week and I realized all the things you describe. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. The more messages I have been using for over 6 mo, perfect sales/buyer.no complaints. By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed they are taking a higher amount of taxes out of sales than the actual state rates? I found a brand new one (literally exact same model) at Macys for 40 dollars. You put the boom in every problem Ive had. Then my package came, and one of the tops was all pilly and had several small holes in it. Do you have any experience with what I can do? NOTE I have been selling on eBay since my now 16yo was a baby and still sell there. Also if you go on youtube there are tons of videos on reselling, online business, etc. None. Reason #2. i sold a pair of authentic christian louboutin shoes w the box and dustbags.. now the buyer is claiming they are fake.. how do i deal with this? 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. The bonus items were worth more than the items you paid for. Before shipping the item I was asked to verify the size as they wanted a photo of the tag. Not worth the headache. 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!! My family sees me running around trying to make a sale and decided to help me so we literally share ALL THE TIME and nothing, just some weeks ago I was having good sales but I have the feeling they have a way to control who sees you shares or how many people sees it. I also block them. Having been a broke college student, and offering what I believed to be fair on a pair of mittens I was slowly raising to find out what would be okay when I got suddenly blocked I think. Thanks for the venting outlet! 2. I would try eBay and Tradesy before doing a Shopify account. 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. Its not fair. I do see that a LOT of people are strictly selling on Instagram too. Same with Free People. THEN he says ok well this isnt 3/4 full, its about Posh many times does not care about it being a prohibited item or even a replica because they get their 20% from the sale. Ill check into it now. Can someone help me? There is absolutely NO need to put your store on VACATION. the bundles of bundles we post (baby lots of 22 pieces plus) I state as firm including Bc I have to pay extra shipping they bundle 3 of those huge lots and ask less than half listed bundles price. Customer Loyalty: Include a QR code printout in your shipped packages, so buyers can easily find and shop your closet again. 1 star rating because the buyer didnt think the sort was the correct brand, while I provided a receipt copy. In my first purchase attempt, the seller could no longer find the item. I packaged it VERY carefully and sent it on its way without much more thought. 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! Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Reason #1. Agree with you completely! *Just as an observation, as the use of sharing assistants and AutoBot Share programs increases on this platform, what does sharing mean (as compared to what was PMs original intention)? As another person committed here, we women need to recognize the VALUE of our time! I feel stuck. When selling on shopify do I have to pay some kind of fees? I sit on pins and needles with every order. Im sorry that happened to you! I also dislike the 20% that is taken out of each sale. I am beyond livid. He was unaware that he bought anything. The model requires too much of a time commitment to successfully make money selling; 4). Thanks for listening to my 2 cents. And theyre based out of country over seas!! Lies! Lol. I encourage buyers to ask questions. I continue to ask the buyer to work with Poshmark directly to return and she keeps asking questions and complaining about the authenticity. I wish I would have known that sooner. For things I really care about and are easy enough to list, then I will use eBay because the 10% commission they charge is reasonable compared to every other platform and its been around the longest so I feel comfortable using it. Hi @thetokensoul. Her work has been featured in Digital Trends, Willamette Week, USA Today, and more. 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?! Stylaphile is an excellent resource for tips,tricks, thoughts, and trends, one I highly recommend any seller bookmark, so be sure to check back often. I was honest in my review and stated that the dress was beautiful, but that the description was lacking details that were important to a buyer and I explained in detail what I saw upon receiving the dress. Ive had a positive experience it just seems stuff doesnt sell that much. Thanks Stacey! Was going to try eBay but I also feel it will get lost in the masses and have been contemplating Shopify since I have such a passion about what I want to do. I was appalled as this had never happened to me before! I used to sell on eBay about 20 years ago. Scammers everywhere, and the fees are much too high. As I type this reply, I feel like Ive had PTSD for the past week. when it comes to protecting the seller I cant say that Posh has not protected me.Ive had I was Googling something else concerning Poshmark and stumbled across this blog post. If its less expensive, and you wouldnt be out a lot of money if they scammed you, then it might be worth the chance. Im not interested in being anybodys BFF. I dont think poshmark is worth it as a buyer or a seller. Therefore if you wanted 10 items from 10 different closets, you will be paying over $60 in shipping costs!! 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. If there were any flaws whatsoever, I would disclose them in my description. After 2 1/2 years and 60,000 followers later, I too am jumping ship (though will keep my closet open for as long as possible to advertise my Etsy handcrafts). I just came across PoshMark about a week ago and was searching for what it means to follow someone on poshMark when I found this. They were withholding my direct deposit, I contacted the BBB and within a week I had my direct deposit. It was obvious from the few responses that I received. Thank you sharing this! I looked on line and its illegal for a minor to do this and them not do nothing. Congrats on your decision to start your own site. She is a graduate of Columbia Journalism School and San Francisco State University. 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. whatever that may mean?. Im so tired of dealing with trolls, low-ballers and snotty buyers. LeAnn! I end up making negative after the shipping, but I was just happy to help someone cause Im a nice person.What happens to me? Its not even a review. No one sees it but you. I just created a poshmark account wanting to make some money, but now I am very scared. What boils my blood is the one star rating (and mine were all nwt!) The low ballers are completely out of control & the amount of fake and replicas on posh are also out of control. I wonder is it worth it? My goal was to sell, unfortunately I shop. Ive sold about 5 small items like fashion jewelry, etc. The other time the buyer was just full of it, but you know, I really dont want to have unhappy customers. I did let my Poshmark regular buyers know that my closet had moved to ShopStylaphile.com. The time investment is ridiculous and for what? Done selling!! 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! Nothing bad. I thought it looked nice. Tap the Offer/Price Drop button on any listing and select Offer to Likers (these are private). Basically it states that due to unfortunate circumstances, I am now substantially photographing every purchase before I ship!!! Nothing came, or was updated on Posh. The first thing Ive been told, is that you dont want Google CAPTCHAs popping up while youre sharing. Ive found some great deals on Poshmark, but I usually find my experiences on that site really frustrating and stressful. Im trying to run my closet as a business, but the endless sharing, posting and responding to comments without ever so much as a thank you is wearing me out. I sent them multiple pictures. It seems like Poshmark hasnt taken a real interest in their brand promise. I was very detailed in my descriptions as well and was referring to the people that continually ask questions without looking at the description first. Read on to learn how these can help you make sales and become a #PoshBoss. So Ill start by saying Im Newish to poshmark.

I have clothes that, initially, I wanted to Sell on Poshmark, but I think Ill definitely give Depop a consideration instead. I dont know how to start my own website or market it but congratulations to you. Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. I am not interested in running a garage sale on line. Recently a buyer opened a case on a blouse she purchased from me claiming it was stained & damaged. Then a girl went off on me about my pricing- telling me I cant list things so high- etc.. ? It made me see a VERY ugly side to the community- bc her harassing me seemed to be out of jealousy and anger. Using the site I bought a whole bunch of stuff that was just fun and tempting to get and so inexpensive made me wonder about how the girls did that it seem to take so much time. ! Can I ask if your photo showed the item zipped up? Ive been going round and round with them. Still no response from poshmark. As a buyer of poshmark I found that items I bought werent quite as described every time I purchased 3 x I figured hey thats what you get for buying on line but this last one was a doosey! I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. Brilliant for them because they have users devoted to bearing their system, horrible for users because it is so draining that burnout is common. Sad it has to come to that!

I had success selling there, but I knew that you cant make everyone happy and was expecting to get a complaint anytime. I found two types of trolls exist on Poshmark.
