I have no idea what Ill get back since she claims its damaged now. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. Ugh, I could type and gripe for days on this issue! 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? Still trying to wrap my head around it all.but I want to say thank you for writing this.I needed to hear it from someone else that Im waiting my time on Posh. I just bought, after 9 months on Poshmark selling actual high quality Branded clothing, one of the Boutique items Poshmark sells to Poshers through their wholesale option. The most frustrating issue for me is, people dont know the difference between NEW UNUSED and excellent used condition, or pre-loved condition. Let me know the name so I (and everyone else in this thread) can check it out! You put the boom in every problem Ive had. Its not! Its ridiculous. When I read all this posh sounds very, very creepy, Hi I have been selling on posh for a year now.theys took all my stuff of there web because I sold a few lipstick I though they were authentic but they turn out to be not,well they owe me $ 90 dollars and its been getting processed since dec 19th I keep emailing them to please deposit my money because I want to delete my account I emailed about 10 to since dec I havent got paid. I originally planned to begin selling items, but when I discovered the 20% commission I changed my mind. With so many tools at your disposal, we thought itd be helpful to create a one-stop guide to see exactly what these features and tools have to offer. The one in my size, the seller only shows stock photos. And then Poshmark takes a hefty cut. Is there any advice for sales to new members on PM?

I came back from vacation to all of that and just shipped her top and deleted the app. My problem is, I dont feel like I would have sales on a stand alone website. I have never bought anything online, ever. Thank you for sharing. He had flown it, crashed it, and was trying to return it. I am still using the app, but I will not be buying any bags! I was not expecting to make a lot of money, just enough to get by as i am unemployed and my mom has had to help me get by. Or are you "dropshipping" using amazon pics? Do you not think that sellers deserve to be compensated a little for their time and effort? Poshmark is such a joke of a business. Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. Thank you . Select My Profile. After 114 5-star reviews with raves about my packaging with no problems in 3 years, I finally got scammed! Amen. At this point, it may be best I dont even if they allow me to. They have different shipping options and didnt see anything about what they charge for a commission. I get that. I make my bundle and place my order, figuring that the $5 will be deducted from my total. I responded to the case with a lengthy and detailed rebuttal explaining how this isnt my bag (or, even if it is, that the buyer has now cut holes into it). Any advice will be helpful! At first it was slow but made $500 in June.. No problems & 5 stars on all buys. Im not even sure if they have a brand promise but it seems the expectations users had was contrary to their actual experience. I was under the impression thst Pishmark had individual sellers putting up for sale their own item.What Ive seen, increasingly, is tons of sellers putting up for sale items they have bought off ebay and some of those cheaper, asian based stores that are all over the internet! All I want to do is make a little extra money without donating. She probably had buyers remorse I thought. Too much creepy stuff going on with technology. You might not get the ton of eyes on your products like you do on Poshmark, but the quality of your visitors and buyers will be better and you wont have to deal with all the headaches. Personally I never sell used clothing and shoes, these types of items I feel should be donated to the needy. Thinking she thinks I took it off line and sold it which is not true. Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) Tabitha, it is a HUGE time suck.

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 send in a request in December to become a suggested user and got no response. Great article and thanks for sharing. This is the first and only one Ive came across, thank you for that incite. I was looking to buy one, and I really wouldnt mind if its damaged inside. 1. Hi, but maybe Im wrong. But dont share *too* much. I took all my items (some cost $495.00 NWTs to my neighbor). Seriously, these people except garage sale prices with high end department store quality. Best of luck. The strap of one shoe was completely rubbed off as though sandpaper was taken to them. Bundle & Save! Next thing I know, seller is saying it looks like someone (me, presumably) but the top with scissors. Ive had to cancel orders because the seller just ignores the purchase and never sends the item. Id rather save $34 and wait!). I have many complaints about poshmark, but lowballing for $7 shipping doesnt make sense(?!). I thought it was just me. Not really what I was looking for doing with my time (I actually have a full-time job). It takes more time than it is worth and Im seeing the writing on the wall before going any further. Best wishes to you all, and thanks for listing great items. Well, someone posted it, and my closet was invaded by these, support group members. People on this site are crazy Ive seen it for 6 years!! So I said in my listing, fits like a medium. Oh and I also gave the buyer as a gift, a cute little Packers mini piggy bank AND a small lot of other Packers items I had for sale that she admired. Basically it states that due to unfortunate circumstances, I am now substantially photographing every purchase before I ship!!! From across the country. I strive to be a seller that is honest and that people dont have to worry about buying from. Enter it and then select "Submit.". My suspicion is that she put a cat on the dress to cause snags!!! Poshmark needs to shut down inactive closets and they need to penalize sellers for failing to ship. I left feedback for the seller and gave her a 3-star rating. I wish you the best!! Going crazy, any ideas? I am feeling the same way. Brilliant for them because they have users devoted to bearing their system, horrible for users because it is so draining that burnout is common. Wowthis is interesting listening to everyones experience. Sharing first thing in the morning. Not sure why. I have been using for over 6 mo, perfect sales/buyer.no complaints. I totally relate to this post. I work full time plus some and am a single mother, so I pass up time wasters as much as possible. It slows you down a little, but it has saved me on enough occasions for it to be worth it. I even posted HOW to use a low heat steamer on the top! Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. You provided food for thought. Its unfortunate that it has come to this. I am a seller on Poshmark and I provide many details for the items I sell. I tried the dress on, thinking that they may not be as noticeable while the dress was actually worn, but they were very visible. There is a lot of work involved as far as driving people to your site via social media, blogging and adwords, but its well worth it because its YOUR site and youre not having to deal with the BS on Poshmark. I wrote out almost 2000 labels on Etsy by hand. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. This time trying to clean out my junk drawer, I sold a pair of older damaged Chanel sunglasses, including their case and cleaning cloth for a steal of a price because they were worn; frames were solid but lenses had scratches. It was in perfect condition. The buyer has no profile or closet. I was complaining to my bf and he wanted to help out. So sad. There are sellers on Poshmark who are lazy, entitled, unprofessional and unethical. I appreciate your ideas and will look into it, This has helped me process what I want to do as a reseller since everyones posts have been helpful since I started selling PM in Jan 2017. Done selling!! Ive done oretty well for the most part on Posh.Ive learned to give everyone pretty mych 5 stars..or else..I received a velvet blazer marked size Medium recently..upon receiving it..it was barely a size XS..I took the loss..ALWAYS ask for measurements!! But the MAIN reason I will not do posh is because of the very restrictive photo requirements. And like I said in the post, it was just way too time consuming and soul-consuming when it comes to experiences like the one you had. Ive had 2 offers from people who joined the same day (or within days) as the offer. 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. Once opened, select the Account tab at the bottom right corner. As a seller, yes, I have had the 8.5 million question buyer who then disappears; but then we have a secondary assumption that inquiry obligates a purchase. I took away all discounts Bc of this. Select QR Code. Again, there should be more seller protection offered by Poshmark when it comes to trolls like these and Poshmark scams in general. 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). eBay gives you 12. Im tired of low balls and comments on my listings about where to get it cheaper. Happy selling to you all! I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. You're not the only one who's had their listings vanish but to figure out why, you gotta contact Posh. All $3, $4, and $5 items must be bundled. I still use the site but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth. I love the idea of poshmark, but it is too social. My screen name on Poshmark is pilotkelson1056, I stumbled across this article and while I agree with every frustration listed here, theres an entire other side to this (Im speaking from the seller perspective, Im there to make money, not spend it). Here's what you need to know about the clothing marketplace platform, How to sell items on eBay by creating an item listing, and start your own marketplace. There's a daily limit for shares on Poshmark, and it's roughly 10000 shares in a 24 hour period.

So may just focus on that. It was stored in a bag until the sale. Posting all over the listing how beggars cant be choosers and she was trying to help out someone claiming to be a victim of the hurricane but I must be a liar since I obviously didnt want to make a sale. (Seller finally makes a response right after, although a very questionable one, again a little more than two and a half weeks have gone by) I sold a pair of like new Spanx skinny jeans for a ridiculously low price to someone who I just had a feeling was going to be a problem after I accepted their offer. I wonder is it worth it? Thanks for understanding, Janet. When my package finally arrived..instantly I knew my rock revival jeans were not going to be in that package it was too light. On the up side all have had a ton of nice people and buyers.. Im on the fence. There were pictures of the skuffs on my sale page. Looking into it now and will be following your journey too. Sorry if you didnt like my speaking up and posting of my experience. I have no recourse and feel I was scammed. I certainly dont miss the time suck, and Im now making a lot more money on my own site than I ever made on the Poshmark app. I find it to be somewhat elitist as well! They were only $7 so I felt like the buyer understood that they couldnt possible be UGG. Hi, I came across your post and loved it because it describes how I feel with Poshmark. So,I had weigh loss surgery in 2013,which worked out wonderful except for the fact of always having fine hair,I lost a lot more. I have been selling handmade clothes on Poshmark for 6 months and only got one sale and it was a lowball.
