The trolls, the low ballers, the crooked and one-sided rating system, and the serious lack of user support from Poshmark. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. Buyer confidence in me went up and I sell things faster as a result. I mostly stick to eBay these days. Im working on a competitive app that will do just that and more! And some of usmyself includedend up doing a whole lot of work for $3 an hour. I dont know if this true or not, but its worth noting.

Can you make anything out of all this?? ), 3.) The sharing. as far as the lowballers I blocked them too and I found when people low-balled me on an item that was brand new I would simply raise the price even higher just to piss them off! It shows them that you are a serious seller, with costs for your items. I have been buying on Posh for about a year, but first time seller. Person kept spamming a listing, saying how much she liked a certain kid item. She has no listings. I put so many hours into PM for almost no outcome. know all the sales & free items. Hilary, I am so sorry this has been your experience as a seller. You should counter a lowball offer on Poshmark with an acceptable price and be done with it. SO FRUSTRATING!!! Oh my! How can a bag i purchase from Saks for an arm and a leg be fake? Do people not read that there arent returns of things that dont fit!!!??? My quick thoughts re: selling online.

I explained that I bought a Free People jacket and it was too small. I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. Why do you feel you would get burned? Ill definitely look into Tradesy, DePop, etc., but think a class-action lawsuit against Poshmark will prove the point quite nicely. End of story. Its uncanny! Ha, like that will ever happen! I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. She responded that she indeed had been away, and that she would ship it tomorrow. Person kept sending me $3 offers on my items, despite herself having a closet full of overpriced mall brands. Customer service sucks as far as them rep-emending these people for doing this. While I did enjoy the social aspect of meeting some really great people on Poshmark, the amount of time I was spending on the app was ridiculous. Hi! Poshmark needs to shut down inactive closets and they need to penalize sellers for failing to ship.

I looked at her page and there are several comments from sellers saying that she made low-ball offers that they just cant accept, etc. Sometimes, theyll try to sweeten the pot with reduced shipping or free gifts with purchases. When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. Seriously. I seemed to have a streak of 4 rotten customers, one was an obvious scammer that pm allowed to go through anyway. In some cases for lower end items I will flat out accept and did that with a belt and a tee shirt this past week. Well give it a few more months and see if its all worth 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! The Seller must have gotten a real bargain and no wonder she cant wear wedges because she probably couldnt get them on either! What I like about Depop messaging system is that it doesnt allow users to hide behind their offers. Thank you so much for posting this article. At midnight my husband would say Are you still poshing? I suddenly realized that all the time I was spending being social on Poshmark was keeping me from doing other really productive things in my life, like exercising, writing, and spending quality time with friends and family. I was all over that jacket while I was packing it, using tissue and stuffing the sleeves with tissue, then putting into a clear sweater bag like you get from dry cleaning. This unfortunately happened to me. Im not sure how long that takes since that was only a day ago. will I actually wear this? I am so glad to have found your experience. I will say that I have never had an odor claim that I am aware of, but if I were to receive one, I would ask several questions around that to show how ridiculous it is to consider such a thing as a viable reason for return. I am well aware of the ups and downs. I deleted my account about 2 years ago (also out of frustration and disgust with their business practices) and though they tried to entice me to stay, I was able to completely separate from them. Love this blogthought I was on an island with my feelings. Makes the item virtually impossible to sell and the seller is screwed. That should have been a red flag. aint nobody got time for that as sweet brown would say. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. Im actually leaving PM this week. It almost feels like I am being exploited and trapped in this nonsense! Posh sided with the buyer and she was authorized to return my rocks. The shoes were returned yesterday far differently from how I had carefully packaged them. What? I have sold a few things that I no longer use and got high ratings, but I always fear that moment when not only do I lose the money I just gained (which is OK for me as long as I get my item back), but also I lose the item itself (cuz of course they have to break it or tear it so that they can do this). Just browsing through the brands, i was horrified by multiple posts in 10.Deep that appear to be selling people or offering their services. But most alarming was a picture of a young boy with the user name listed as hump87. I just came across your blog & Shopify site. I dont care if my buyer gets her money back, but not sure how PM does that with a bundle, if they have to return the whole bundle or not. Im so glad Ive found this blog post! There's a built-in buyer community. 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? Hi Michelle, there is a monthly fee for Shopify and you do need to have some HTML/website coding skills. Know what that item costs in the store as well. I also told the folks at Poshmark about the discount thing. My son and I are both book lovers and Id like to sell books and childrens items as well. 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 But I guess some people do think there used stuff is better then others same used stuff . And then today? Poshmark Bot vs Virtual Assistant: Which One Is Better? Now I think I have to. Thank you for sharing. With eBay, Im having a similar experience, but Im still dealing with it and need some advice. I have no way of getting my money back from PM. My point is: in order for a Poshmark Seller to make a viable business like the kind of numbers that my friend/colleague is getting, you will have to sell THOUSANDS of items and have a warehouse to store these items and Poshmark is NOT the right eCommerce platform to do this. The thing I like about Poshmark is the exposure and the fact that everything is handled with their 20% fee (except seller protection apparently!). Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. Thank you! Youd think theyd be a little more courteous. I contacted Poshmark stating the item was brand new but I just received a generic response If there are any problems with your returned order when you receive it back, please go to your order in the App or website, tap on Problem/Order Inquiry and report the issue through the Report Problem with Return. button. The problem is that there was no problem with the item to start with! I think that that goes a long way to saving yourself the time of someone asking you to measure the inseam on a pair of pants or the bust on a top because now youve got to find that item and Ive had Posh sellers telling me that they keep their items in a storage locker or at another location so sometimes its weeks before they get back to me and since Im trying to move product X quickly as possible it was worth my time investment to do things like measure the bust measure the sleeve measure the inseam where possible and because I kept my items super organized I knew where to go get them at a moments notice but for some people thats not possible so if all the information is right there when you first listed no one has to ask you because now you gotta find that item and Ive had posh sellers tell him me that they keep their items in a storage locker or at another location so sometimes its weeks before they get back to me. Because they provided a different label they have somehow messed up the payment, but no one will help. I do follow new people weekly & share my listings but I was just hoping the app would do more of the advertising for me I guess. Poshmark is a trademark of Poshmark, Inc. Reseller Assistant is not endorsed, affiliated or certified by Poshmark Inc. 1. Some have been able to raise money to stay afloat, albeit at lower or flat valuations. I sold authentic items, described them well, photographed them well, especially noted any items with damage/wear. The responses are way off the mark. Your perspective is valued but wait until you get the gutter rats who comment calling you a whore for no reason Bc you declined an offer and explained why and they cuss you out. I do have a question though with you being so successful with the site; It does seem that to be successful on the site you have to sell mostly name brand, so where do ppl find these name brand items for low enough prices to mark them up high enough to make a profit? They want to come to my house to get the item and only pay with a check. Hi. Dealing with low ball offersnot just the work on the app itself but the mental frustration that comes with itsimply isnt worth my time. You never know .it might get some traction. The bad thing about this is the other Poshmark accounts are basically wanting a sell more than wanting to make a purchase. They always protect me and I only lost 1 dress because I didnt understand, and etsy didnt tell me, China doesnt respect our tracking #s so it was delivered but no tracking proof so she, of course , knew this and filed a never received claim. So sorry you had to experience that! So then I would have to lower my prices to make up for the exorbitant shipping. You can determine a set amount you want to spend each day with AdWords, so the budget is up to you. When I came to the realization they were at best as bad as ebay, that is when I deleted my account. Bundling offers or offering a Bundle sale is a great way to give a value while decluttering and reducing Posh fees. So I am finally at that point. The shoes were only worn once, and I had pics of everything. I found two types of trolls exist on Poshmark.
