I wish all of you luck in your life and i hope those haters that are reading this stop the games on Poshmark. Well they locked my account. I realize Poshmark customer service is very rude and do nothing to help! In summary, by keeping all of this in mind, the low ball offers that I receive, do not ever offend me. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. No response!! Wowthat was my very first sale. I keep telling myself that I would get so much less if I had a garage sale, so I need to just let go! I have been on Poshmark over a year and have had positive experiences until this week. I found that people buy items quicker when all the important information is right there and they dont have to contact you and wait for you to eventually read your email and respond to them. This might actually be a sign that Ive priced the items too low. As per my other post, I began videotaping all packing and the full item before shipping. Truthfully, though, I havent received more than a handful of low ball offers since I adjusted my pricing strategy. How does bidding work during a Posh Show? Getting defensive that just makes one suspicious! For resellers, low ball offers are offers that are so below your asking price that they may be deemed offensive and often times will lead to a rejection of an offer or may discontinue negotiations. Never knew that cool! Hi Gina, Ive actually gotten traffic to ShopStylaphile.com from Poshmark because I created an image stating that my closet had moved and posted it in my Poshmark closet. And more importantly, I dont have to deal with the following Poshmark problems that caused me to quit altogether. NOT GOOD. Then the other day I had a terrible experience as a buyer. If there was any communication with the buyer prior to purchase I also screenshot that and show it. She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. Im new to Poshmark and sold my first listing! You have given me more to think about! So it was worth my time investment to do things like measure the bust because sizing varies by brand. Ridiculous amounts of time finding, listing and sharing until my fingers are numb. Thanks for the comment and congrats on opening your Shopify store! 10%. They are all about profit and protecting the scammers within their site. They were only $7 so I felt like the buyer understood that they couldnt possible be UGG. I have not lost a case.

She bought a $15 kylie Jenner lipgloss tube and when she received her package she claimed I had sent her an empty box. Im so sorry to hear that PM does not treat sellers fairly. I have written them down and will check them each time someone places an order. Thats basic customer service that I feel any seller should be prepared to provide. Ive had completely ungrateful ratings and rude comments left, even when getting an item close to 90% off in mint condition complaining of perfume smell (it was sitting by an air freshener).

But it got me very upset. I sold a brand new Pinup Girl dress there was not a thing wrong with it. Not that Im satisfied with that and its nowhere close to what I do on eBay, but Ive only been on Posh a short time and have a fraction of the inventory, so no complaints here. I do think Poshmark needs fine tuning and as far as i see they are still working on this site to fix the things they are lacking in. for an item I was selling for $25. Click that and you will see the "block user" option. So now trying poshmark and sure enough had my first 5 dollar offer. Good luck!! 3-4 occasions where something was not as described or damaged when I got it and they accept the return or gave me a posh Credit in one instance but in other cases they have totally back me up. Sales final and as is with description. I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. Ive been on since Nov 2016 as a buyer then started listing in May to Sell. I think that trips up a lot of people when they want to start decluttering (it certainly did to me). From personal experience, I can say that even some items listed as NWT and NWOT can come with blemishes or damages that clearly put them out of those categories. I would try eBay and Tradesy before doing a Shopify account. Okay, I figure, this has happened a couple of times on eBay, when a promised discount wasnt calculate automatically. Person kept sending me $3 offers on my items, despite herself having a closet full of overpriced mall brands. whatever that may mean?. I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. You have to understand the value of an item prior to posting it. These people never buy anything and it seems their sole purpose for being on Poshmark is to waste your time. End of story. I might as well have been talking to the wall. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Poshmark support is certainly not going to help you. I feel like there is nothing to stop a buyer from damaging an item and claiming the item is not as described. I try to keep off the grid as much as possible. I had one with a story about not being able to afford right now; explained that the risk of losing a NWT item is there as it was in demand (23 likers) and a good price. Wow, this is very eye opening! . Best of luck and keep me posted! They do CCO and other opportunities that are NOT opportunities, its how posh makes more money, not us so dont fool yourself.

I either get told the same script that buyers have 3 days to accept or they ignore me completely. To continue to show support for me . Blessings to you. I just signed up for Poshmark a few days ago. The first call took an hour and a half. Im beginning to think it would just be easier to delete it. I am trying to decide if I should block her from buying any future items from me. I asked about the sizing, and the seller responded right away. I am pulling my hair out over this and he keeps sending I wont sell to anyone with no listings. has a hole in it, a stain and a large pick. If you have any ideas as to whether or not anything can be done, I would greatly appreciate it. It could have gotten lost and that happens. That why they dont have a call center like eBay does! Good strategy. Tell me, how can one judge a black polyester dusty bag with Chanel silk screened On it, real or fake?! Im a perfect, highest rated buyer on eBay, and Ive sold as well. Again described, photographed, and noted ALL damage! I will either list the item to sell or give it away (although come to think of it, I actually did throw away a brand new brown sweater.. yeah, I could have donated it, but man, was it ugly!). I am very disheartened I spent so much time listing items, repeatedly having to reword my listings due to ridiculous character limits. The make an offer feature needs a revamp especially because the Yay New Offer is very insulting to a lot of sellers, that is not something we feel like high fiving at ALL. I got to the point where if someone offered me less than half the asking price, I would just block them. I have a buyer questioning the authenticity of a bag I sold herthat is after incessant questions about everything. Ive had a positive experience it just seems stuff doesnt sell that much. But Poshmark sided with her an thats total crap ! I also received a blouse that was listed as free people. 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. You literally just take pictures of your items and write the description on your phone. What a piece of absolute garbage!!! Really lady how fat and wide are you that you cant fit into a one size fits all stole? Ive had 2 offers from people who joined the same day (or within days) as the offer. And the trades gone bad, the hackers who stole money from Poshmark users. Ive only tried to sell through eBay a year ago. Totally understand. Poshers reading the full description & observing photos of jewelry and immediately filing a claim stating that the item was not as described ? You want your money. Thank you so much, Wow! She says in her complaint, I wear a small and this does not fit like a medium I want a refund on this shirt. Seriously? 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!!!! I wasnt able to sell the drone in fact I could barely give it away. Poshmark said that they had received pictures of the item. It is simply not worth a seller's time and energy. You cant say that the item does not fit or you change your mind. Hi Dee! Then I noticed people only offer a fraction of that. These are basic financial concepts that apply to many other aspects of life. If you want to net a profit $29.00 for an item, best list it for $88.00 because Poshers have no Shame trying to get something for nothing. I have a large following as well and have sold many items. It was great while it lasted. Great job! Often people seem to try to sell used items are thier original price which is just stupid, we can go buy it new at that point! Firstly, she was trying to take advantage of someone who was in a very emotional situation, and who knows how many times this ploy has worked in the past for her but I cant be bullied and I wont tolerate a manipulating opportunist having a temper tantrum because I didnt give in to her berating. Some new poshers especially are so eager for a sale that they will bend over backwards and come down in priceway down. This person just received the top and either didnt like it or found out it didnt fit her and wanted her money back. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for taking the time to write this!

Ialways took great care to make sure every piece I sold on Poshmark was in excellent condition. Has the change over been difficult? The seller then cancelled the transaction. She was ticked I insisted on $6 after she kept offering $4. Product Research must be Done Right 3. Ive also had some open cases, 2 favored the buyer and 3 favored me, because as you stated I describe the item great and they still can come up with a lame excuse and say they dont want it. I had exactly the same issue with my listing returned back to me, even if I have a photos before wrapping the item, and sent to poshmark support for evidence that it was not the same when it got back to me poshmark will never take your side.
