I would rather gift it than sell it to greedy unsavory predatory buyers that try to make you feel they are doing you a favor by essentially stealing it from you for a few bucks. I had just had a case opened with a bundle I made, everything was good and ready to go. 35k followers. So sorry you had to experience that! Its actually wasteful and contrary to the pro-reduce/reuse/recycle attitude that is supposed to be rampant! I had regular repeat customers that were amazing, which is the only real drawback to quitting PoshmarkI loved these folks! The responses are way off the mark. Now their postal is more than $7!

Yes it takes a lot of time to sell on the platform that Poshmark created, but you can sell on Poshmark for sure!!! Ive even started listing clothes and sold one of those items. I, fortunately, only bought one on the Last One Reduced Price Listing by a Boutique Posher. I got the dress back and not only did it have snags but there were some tiny white hairs on it.

In fact, Im setting up my Shopify store as we speak and doing some research and thats how I came across your article. Its definitely time consuming. The posh parties put your life on hold . They take so much money from us and thats all their concern is. They do not deserve 20 percent of any sale and they clearly do not protect sellers. When you buy used, naturally you expect to pay a lot less. Anyway, I decided it was time to clear out my closets and make some money from the items I dont want anymore. Pictures were posted of all parts of them. You are preaching to the choir as I agree with EVERYTHING you said. I also use Tradesy.

Someone told me how well they were doing and said I should give it a try. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! I only do this for high- end items. Well Poshmark authorizes the RETURN !!!!! One way to know if this has happened to you, is youll start to see less engagement on your items (less likes and comments). And it takes days for a generic email. Again, after reading all these stories, Im sure it wont turn out well for my case based on Poshmarks inability to support the sellers that actually make the company moneybut Im sure theyd listen to a lawsuit asking for damages/compensation. I know what things cost. She writes about business, culture, and technology for Insider. Have a super fab week!! I decided to move to Instagram as Shopify is excellent but you need to know some HTML.

I totally agree with reason #1, no protection from sellers. 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! I never bothered to fight that it just wasnt worth my time and the stress. I would recommend starting with Tradesy and eBay. Look out for your money.

I assumed they meant dont speak to her, which I avoided. snd listing their brand as boutique , at horribly inflated prices ALL OVER Poshmarkmakes me sad that women would rio each other off this way!! I have been selling on posh for over a year without any issues. It was a pinup dress. I am really disappointed and sad. 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. People leave comments on how ugly my stuff is and how they have a similar item and telling people to not buy it but she has never bought anything from me. 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. I was just curious, what was the best way to post an move all your items listed to your new online store? How is that allowed?!

It took me a month to get it back up. I always wonder where people get the time to have 1 million shares. These are men who have found Poshmark and created accounts just so they can ask you to model that pair of high heels or that tight dress. Their reason? Last week, I sold a Coach bag in great condition other than a blob of clear nail polish that had dried on the interior zip pocket and slight wear on the embroidered CsBOTH of which were pictured and mentioned in the description. Augh I feel your pain. Poshmark said that they had received pictures of the item. The buyer not only lied but harassed me endlessly and they sided with her and refunded her money.

With Taylor in Sacramento who was super rude to me about shipping the item asap and then when she got it, claimed it wasnt as described, refused to answer my question, and then mailed me back a $1 WetNWild shadow when Id sold her a Lorac Pro palette. Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. Im a slave to Posh, a cog in the machine. I have no idea where else to sell it though I know you recommend Ebay but are there any easy alternatives which have more, appropriate, seller protection? $87 $118.

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. 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.

If you have any friend whos worked at a clothing store, particularly during the holidays, I would bet anything they have plenty of stories that would shock you. and then no accepting or reviewing so you have to wait for your cash! I highly recommend that Poshers not put all of your eggs in one basket. Dont respond back to me one said and then she kept going. Anyway, ive sold several items on Poshmark and had great ratings. I only last a couple of months before I closed up shop and headed back to eBay. Immediately I knew. But, until recently, I overlooked those negatives. She technically wanted to steal my boots! Wow the same thing just happened to me with a $8 dollar dress, the buyer was aware of the damage and asked zillions of questions then purchased the dress which is a expensive item sold for $8 when she received it she instantly open a claim for $8 freaking dollars!! Apparently it doesnt have a YKK zipper and she says thats what makes it fake (keep in mind at first she gave me a couple other reasons before the zipper) and doesnt understand that they use different brands and finding that info is very easy! So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!!

Thanks @stylaphile youre right, its seriously not worth it. @splinkink Im so sorry you are having to go through this. Honestly, graciously taking returns is good business, as is treating even low balling oddballs like they are OK (even if you dont think so.) even if its new with tags 99.9% bought it off the clearance rack and are trying to sell it at MSRP!!!! 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. So, I dont pay to market or spend a bunch of time SMM marketing, but use my posh sales to lead people to my site by putting thank you cards and candy in my customers packages. Today a buyer seriously lowballed me and i snapped, i told her for the offer i would rather keep them. Press J to jump to the feed. Hi Diana! Irene, I would certainly be careful.

That said, Im just done with yet another form of online bullying/abuse/scams where trolls end up the winners. I turned the entire page and listings into posh so hopefully they will just terminate the account. I still use the site but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
