Poshmark is making a hefty 20% commission just for using their site and sending out shipping labels. It is not a great time for e-commerce startups. 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. So sad. So I never used the app again. I invested more than I got in return. Yes huge time suck, and if you do not put in the time no sales. 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? It would be interesting to see how many sellers vs buyers are on the app and how many sellers converted to buyers. I dont mind if she changed her mind, gave it away, etc But nothing. They said they were warning me that they had to remove multiple replicas from my closet and despite having previously warned me about this, and this is my final warning!!! I would recommend starting with Tradesy and eBay. There are blogs, Instagram pages, and groups on Facebook devoted to beating the system of Poshmarks wicked algorithms. I wish you tremendous success and much less stress!! LOL POSH took down all my listings for no apparent reasons im done with this app. I have 5 pairs of Miss Me Jeans and 2 miss me shorts Im trying to sell that it. Hi Ashley! Absurd right. Do they realize some people work? Posh customer service is wishy washy coming to what they accept to return or refund. I checked everywhere in their faq but found nothing on the subject. It happens all of the time. I only sell things that I would buy myself; if there is too much wear I will either throw it away or donate it. More so than Poshmark. 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. NOT GOOD. All it took was one 2 star review for a vintage belt to knock me down. I came across a whole network of victims within Posh after nearly being scammed by Julie. I only had my closet for a few months and sold (basically for free 5 items. I was so sad to read all these experiences above, I too love my followers and have actually made some close friendships via Posh but it looks like it is time to move to another platform. I tried selling on Poshmark this year. Im still active & have made a few really good friends, but some things just kill me! The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. Thank you for the post. Thank you for sharing your experience! Ive recently become a larger seller and its so annoying when people dont bother to read the description. 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! Lmao! I would love any tips you could provide. Parties? Your interaction as a seller to potential buyers should always be friendly and positive so by giving a counter offer you are making an effort to negotiate with a buyer by not declining their offer. I quit buying there due to sellers who post zero details on garments, sellers who ship worn and smelly clothing, and sellers who never ship at all after you purchase. I had received an email from Poshmark stating that a case had been opened because the buyer stated that an item was "broken, damaged or stained.". I just need a shop I can promote myself, one that can help take payments and provide shipping info, All the best to you and wishing you abundant success in your business!! 2. Then in May, I listed many more items; also joined the parties and follow groups. Which by the way , Do you know how many times Ive bought an received items from sellers on Poshmark only to receive them an find they DONT fit an I dont hold they against the seller an I have to repost the item to sell ! Just started listing more than one item there in February and its been very consistent. I have only had one offer and it was about half of my listed price. Also her poor, low-lit photos of the spots were blurred. Fortunately I decided to google for reviews first. Google Ebay sides with buyers and you will get an eye full. I have to respond because Im a big shopper. I have contacted Poshmark but I dont have high hopes of them actually having seller protection. Endlessly. Another guy did something similar and offered $30. Poshmark denied me the ability to buy forever when I paid $70 for Birkenstocks that did not fit, then found out I couldnt return them due to fit, then I wrote that my experience was a scam on the sellers listing. Of course, there are several other top Poshmark sellers who are crushing it. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. At first it was slow but made $500 in June.. No problems & 5 stars on all buys. Also, i dont have a twitter account. Mecari buyers are more excited to purchase in the constant 24 hr feed . Has the change over been difficult? The buyer usually has more to lose than the seller does and if buyers dont trust Poshs customer service and know that they can return when the description is genuinely wrong, then they wont buy. I clicked the "Share To Party" button on the Closet Tools 4 (maybe 5) times. Bernice, I learned from my Poshmark mentor that you arent suppose to mention other sites like Mercari, etc. I wonder what you consider as a gazillion questions. While I agree that there are trolls out there who asks questions just to waste someones time, some people ask a number of questions because quite frankly the item descriptions on many Poshmark listings are abysmal. My PM days are done!!! Poshmark is full of Sellers who are quick to list but have little or no intention of Selling, or young girls who change their mind and cancel on a whim. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. Been on Poshmark since 2019. Heres the link: https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business. You get what you put into it! Ive been considering finding a new platform for sales. So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!! Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. Hello? In my first purchase attempt, the seller could no longer find the item. Would this stop someone from scamming/being scammed, do you think, or would Poshmark even ignore the video proof sent in by a seller? Then the ppl who complain about something get their money back and I get my money back but they keep my item so they get it for free Bc customer support is RIDICULOUS! No response. I have had similar things happen on both eBay and Mercari. I asked the seller if it was authentic, she said yes. The very day the buyer got them, she opened a case that they were worn. So she then attacks my page commenting on every listing calling me a scammer posting my address for all to see. Please understand I. ?What do I do?? As a few other people have said, I have been on pins and needless for a few days over a profit of $16, which makes me disappointed in myself for letting this get to me. Any advice I would appreciate ps great IG page I just started following you. Maybe I should just take all my inventory and have an awesome bonfire at the beach. it just seemed like one more time consuming event that I could not commit to so I didnt. Do you not use them because your items are not new? Im very sorry that happened to you. I was all excited and telling friends how great Poshmark was until this. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. If it is someone who lives in your area and wants to meet to transact (Ive done this and saved the individual the shipping fee), then meet in a public place where others are around and tell them it is cash only!!!! ugggg. Ive been selling on ebay for 5 years now and this is true for me. I am so frustrated by PM! How to Manually Reserve an Item. Did you have customers follow you? It was in perfect condition. They denied my claim stating it wasnt enough evidence of a fake. People suck! I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. There are a lot of problematic disgusting people on there. I was waiting for proceeds from a sale that went to the wrong bank account. Also, frequently I purchase items and the seller never ships the item or responds to questions about when they will finally ship the item. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. Good luck with your sales though and thanks for the comment! Ive been doing this long enough to know which stores will likely buy what (every location has a certain taste or vibe or customer its geared towards so I try to go to the right locations for what I have e.g. The entire format is changing and the behavior of most sellers leads me to firmly believe the whole thing is bound to implode. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. They keep threatening to suspend me if I dare comment on those counterfeit listings or if I dare warn the unsuspecting posh user that the item is fake. And they get mad if you tell them that? Ive found that frustrating as a buyer myself. Louise, I havent been very active on the site in a while so Im unaware that are postings like this out there. For example, I sold a pair of shoes and the buyer didnt like the fit. Sure enough they opened a case once I was on vacation and sent them back, fine no big deal. 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. Again described, photographed, and noted ALL damage! As funding has dried up for private tech companies, those in the online shopping space have not fared particularly well. And Im not the only one to have received items back damaged. 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 cant invest anymore of my valuable time is some MANIPULATIVE website thats made up fancy language about sharing POSH LOVE and other B.S. Look out for your money.
