Thank you for your response. Mercari didnt do anything but send me the same copied and paste reply that I was shit out of luck. Not just for the brilliant content rich posts but also read the comments!!! The person who received it, I think, either got it too late for the function (their fault) or it didnt fit. I hope you got something out of it. There is a monthly fee to set up your site on Shopify of around $30. This is my last resort because usually the payout from selling by mail is lower than in store (which, makes sense, I live in NYC which is pricier than where their warehouses/HQ usually are) and selling by mail also means anything they dont take theyll donate unless youre willing to pay to have them return your stuff, so I usually just wave goodbye. Its obvious Poshmarks main intent is to earn money primarily for themselves, and thats mine with my closet. The BBB is of no use because people pay for memberships to the BBB and it is a seller not a consumer based system. Tools. There are blogs, Instagram pages, and groups on Facebook devoted to beating the system of Poshmarks wicked algorithms. I know the seller can offer a discount or free shipping but then you have to add that amount to make your profit especially on low dollar amount items it just doesnt work . It has definitely gone down hill an I feel like I dont get much sleep cause Im trying to make everyone happy an that part I love just not all the other crap !! It makes me sad. So sad. Just because I am selling something doesnt mean I want to get 90% less than what I (recently) paid! We are the ones that helped you grow. Cant afford new stuff like MK bags and such, but would love to get them for below $100. Then I noticed people only offer a fraction of that. Please read the description as well as the comments. To mark a listing as "Not for Sale": click the "Edit" icon on the listing details page > select "Mark as Not for Sale.". I was having some pretty great success although it was time consuming. Mind you that Ive had over 30 other sales with much more expensive items and never had this problem so it baffles me that then a user would think Id go and scam for $15 technically a $12 profit. I am now waiting for a response as to whos responsible for the return of my ORIGINAL bag as I will NOT accept a bag that isnt mine or intentional damage to my bag because the buyer changed her mind. Yet another reason why I quit. After the parties are over, check out the different trends within each party to shop for curated selections of items shared to that party. But yeah I find it so unprofessional and unethical that Im considering just quitting. Also want to make a note about MERCARI: I wont sale on there bc i had a nbd experience ( although after reading her i see it could happen on PM too I had a girl buy an expensive designer swimsuit from me It was NEW NWT NEVER WORN, i tried it on twice realized it would never work for me so listed on PM- she found me asked if i could do it for lesson MERC.

Im just done.. The worst for me was selling an amazing dress at a very low price just to get something out the door, packing it carefully and attractively, shipping next day only to receive a needs work rating two weeks later for no apparent reason. I have photographic proof of how my item was sent and told them I will file with AMEX since they will protect my resale of this bag that I purchased using their card. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. That should keep you in good standing with Poshmark, and give your items the attention they deserve. I encourage buyers to ask questions. I totally relate to this post. I just read this last week and breathed a sigh of relief that I have been lucky so far. I am thinking Poshmark has deleted these things, and I can't figure out why. Now I have someone asking me how I could sell it and not have the SOLD banner across it that Posh puts on when it sells. After discovering I purchased a fake gold ring sold as real 14K, I then found several more rings from the same Ambassador. Buyer confidence in me went up and I sell things faster as a result. I finally sent a comment to ask if she could let me know if the top was still available, and that I was worried Posh was going to cancel the sale. When the buyer received the item, they opened a case and claimed that there was loose stitching. I also crosslist on mecari and have had a few sales with no time suck. Sorry this happened to you. I doubt that theyll look into the issue tho since its been past 3 days since the listings disappeared , I just emailed them. You can find yours by copying the URL below and replacing the end of the address with your username: From across the country. I offer poshmarks first regret-free promise to sellers. Great article and thanks for sharing. I found it unethical that they let that Header on my news feed, because it basically deceived me into thinking I had free shipping. Poshmark did not respond further. Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. 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. In my, meet the posher page I identified my closet as, not boutique, not thrifted that was it. Press J to jump to the feed.

This morning i get an email from them telling me my bag is not authentic and my account has been suspended. Before Poshmark though, I sold on eBay for a time so Im no stranger to hard work. But it is also about respect! That also will only communicate through email. There are rude ignorant young girls on there that get angry when you reply to them or ask them questions as well. I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. I told her when spending that kind of money, you have to be careful. 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. This person just received the top and either didnt like it or found out it didnt fit her and wanted her money back. Poshmark share jail is a way for Poshmark to keep bad-actors off the platform. Im going to take pictures of every inch of an item. 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. Nothing.

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 had a girl purchase a bundle of VS items for a very low price. Im so glad Ive found this blog post! Im am OCD when it comes to selling on PoshMark. It was in perfect condition. For example, if you're in the Men's market, and your closet is all Women's items, your closet will look empty. I know I probably should have just canceled the order but I figure everyone starts somewhere. I have considered starting this myself (before something happens and I wished I had). Thank you for this post. It took over a month before I had contacted the Better Business Bureau, Posh kept giving me the run around and they took forever to respond to me directly. Thanks Stacey! I reported a big replica closet every day for 6 months as well as sending in emails with attached screenshots of angry, ripped off customers leaving comments re: fakes they were sold. I am OCD, hyper observant and work i fashion. 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). Uhm, this crap is par for the course in a retail environment. Im actively moving my inventory to less time consuming platform(s). I am so glad I found your site. You can change your password directly through your Poshmark account. The time i put into posh was interferring with other things i need to be doing. Thanks for sharing I dont feel like its just me. Wow.. Theyve gotten worse! And not everyone on Posh is conducting it or their closet as a business. i will be for now on or only going to sell locally and hand it off in person! She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. Its inane!!! I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. If you write a comment on your experience on the listing for which the item was canceled for others to see and read, the Seller will block you for speaking up and writing the simple facts of the experience. Kendra, thats fantastic news about what youre doing with your site and educating people about fast fashion. Hi Michelle, there is a monthly fee for Shopify and you do need to have some HTML/website coding skills. Here you'll find everything from Posh Tips to exciting new app updates. I feel so sorry to read what happened to you. I still use the site but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth. I just bought it. Good luck on your store! Its a cleaver, but insidious business model. I had a sale on Mercari and posted it as not for sale and typed in Sold in the description on Poshmark. 1% of Poshers (being generous) are knowledgeable enough to authenticate anything. The guy asked for a PARTIAL refund because he said he just felt that he paid too much for it. It happens to some degree in every venue. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Its a selling clothes to people thing. Seriously. Not so. Its designed that way to keep users engaged and both buying and selling on the platform. Only to *new* Poshers. But to be honest, online businesses are never easy. (Click below if you want to learn how I did it and open a store of your own!). I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. Anything in dealing with the public is going to have problems but certainly having those people asking you to model something would be the straw that broke the back for me I wouldnt have anything to do with them I wouldnt even answer them but I was having many questions about how the site function and Im glad I came across your experience. Im kind of getting tired of PM myself, and Im fairly new in there! My guess is she received the shirt and tried to iron the rayon material and burnt it. Thats obviously not happening, so I only made clear the simple fact that this item was not sold, although it is listed as sold. Tap the toggle to compare metrics to the prior period. I would love to check alternative ways to sell my stuff. Poshmark ended up accepting their side of the story and allowed the return. I was excited to see that Posh mark keeps your stats on file as I always strive to be the best. Any issues that others know of? $87 $118. They didnt smell bad, I kept them in a nice box, just like I do with my shoes, and I did take pictures of the signs of wear. Idk why theyre not even bothering to look into this but it really upsets me, especially since theyre making money off of me. PoshMark has something for everyone. Happy poshing! After a couple of weeks I grew tired and depressed from following these communities on Reddit. I wear a small and it was just slightly too large, so I listed it with all pics of the 2XL tags and saying that I believe it was mis-marked because I wear a small and it was slightly too big. Trends are constantly changing and personalized to each user. My daughter suggested I go to Poshmark and my criticism besides the constant socializing which is not my cup of tea, is they charge too much for postage in general, and you cant call them that I know of. Of 250 sells, one was returned in this fashion and I sold it again 3 days later for more money. I always wanted to open up and online store but I have no idea how to do that I am way behind in technology. At the same time, I do not have time to hunt through numerous platforms when I am searching for a vintage pair of Z Cavariccis or Betsey handbag. I just deleted my Poshmark closet. This is how Im making a living now and its drowning. I hate to try on clothes, so if I saw something I liked, Id buy it. I shipped it. I certainly would never list an item with a faulty zipper. 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). People called you a whore because you declined an offer?! I was informed that I have to wait while they review the case. I sold a brand new Pinup Girl dress there was not a thing wrong with it. When I started to step away a little bit more my sales faltered. Im listing to make more than a few bucks! It was in perfect condition.
