How about silly girl talk on a rainy Sunday afternoon? 5. I am looking to get into the job of reselling making something strong. Im going nuts. I buy on there and I assume that the offered price, or the discount they send after Ive liked the item is a fair price. They do not care about the seller and honestly I dont even think anyone there speaks English. Lucky Brand 14. A ridiculously lowball offer. In my second purchase attempt, I followed up when the item was not shipped although two weeks had passed. Its been way more time and pain in the rear then what I have gotten back. The stitching is uneven and awful. Thanks! Best I can tell, the rings were bought from a Chinese site for $1 $3 each and sold for around $200. The guesswork put into the algorithms of Poshmark is a job in and of it self. I had one of the BEST years ago but the owner is gone now and times are very different. Im not one to negotiate with women who know exactly what they are doing and the average price of what a LeVian and David Yurman ring sells for. Hilary, I am so sorry this has been your experience as a seller. She also has comments from other poshmark accounts calling her out on being a bad seller and harassing them to which she responds by calling them names like whore and piece of shit. Its crazy and again poshmark does nothing. And guess what? Ultimately, beyond of course trying to get a better price, there is the power aspect to low balling someone or haggling with them regarding the cost of an item. The order was delivered and accepted. With that being the issue I didnt want to be on their site anyways, who would support people taking advantage of others. But the app isnt the only thing thats changed. Now that Poshmark is required to collect sales tax and the shipping costs have risen, I have to add on average another $10 to my purchase which makes me rethink the purchase altogether and if Im really saving money. Why the fuck would the seller change the rating?!!??! Not California!! Obviously, 1 is no binding commitment to actually ship advertised items to the buyer. God forbid they side against a buyer. Candace, you should definitely start your own site! Jessica, youre not the only person that has happened to. Id love to know how to set up a Shopify store! So sick! 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. People are so rude. Then there are the pervert trolls. Thank you for this post. I contact Poshmark to initiate a return and submit my photos. Period. Thanks for your help. Im glad you created youre own store! I bought this bag from Saks and saved money for months to buy it. I will move to either Ebay or Shopify. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. There is also too much room for miscommunication and understanding. I have sold about 70 items and lately received 3 cases because people wont pay the price for new with tags items i have and i ask 50% of the original price. Great question, and one were sure just about everyone whos ever sold on the Poshmark platform has come up against at one point. Yes, there is still the good old fashioned consignment store, I sell on Mecari and saw a huge difference in sales from Posh. I did write her a comment and called her out on it. In the meantime, I did a screenshot everything I could in my sales and purchases. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Its actually wasteful and contrary to the pro-reduce/reuse/recycle attitude that is supposed to be rampant! What bank gives you that much interest on your money. Theyre skinny jeans to me lol. What one person considers EUC may actually be just good to another person, so some basic elaboration is necessary. I get charge backs with my own online store and never win even when the buyer hand signed for the box. @splinkink Im so sorry you are having to go through this. So as of right now I am out around $100. And it takes days for a generic email. Thanks Sydney. 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. Hence, Im having a liquidation sale. The same goes for offers on bundles. Ive only had one person open a claim and Poshmark denied it. Thanks again for this post!! Why did you accept the offer if you cant ship the item? Oh,I forgot to tell u the best part. So if you are listing for men or children, you must specify in your description or else you can end up eating a $25 shipping cost on a return GUCCI shoes worth $500. I bought it the next day, which happened to be Christmas Eve. Reason #2. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. Overall I find that on Depop that I generally get fair to good offers but I definitely get my share of lowballers as well. Poshmark is all about a sense of community and what type of community are you fostering if you instantly attack those who send you what you conceive to be an unfair offer. I doubt they were authentic. The 20% is way to high. And I havent had that happen to me before but that def is pathetic upon their part. Is there any advice for sales to new members on PM? Im not sure if I will buy through Poshmark again. Google Ebay sides with buyers and you will get an eye full. So when another seller (whos items are actually luxury with the price tags to boot) gives me a lowball offer, I politely thank them, wish them well, then block em. I would try eBay and Tradesy before doing a Shopify account. I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. It has been pending since August 17th. I re-emailed them and informed them that I did everything as I was supposed tothat they chose to ignore me during the initial contactand that both these items fall within their return policies: 1) not authentic; 2) not as described. Ive sold about 5 small items like fashion jewelry, etc. Be reasonable. I just didnt have the strength to fight it, so I told Posh I would take the bracelet back. Im not interested in being anybodys BFF. (Ive also sold numerous items on Craigslist, but thats a totally different business model.) No response does not work for me if I must hand over an unworn item with tags attached for authentication. Im not a big active seller on Poshmark by any means but had success with items I posted. Immediately I knew. Though I became a member in 2014, I never used the app or looked at the siteI only started selling items this past December, 2017, literally 2.5 months ago. I wonder is it worth it? Glad you found a better way loved your article!! This is the first and only one Ive came across, thank you for that incite.

Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. Hi Diana! Boom, done. I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! Through a lot of research, I found out that the seller, who had a decent rating, was something of a fake because he was on his third (at least) name and actually had a bad reputation. Most items I have sent tops , pants and shoes are less then 3lbs and normally would cost under $3.00 to send yet the buyer is forced to spend either $6.79 or $ 5.00 unless the seller wants to pay shipping. I am so sorry to hear what happened to Alexandria Perri. On si h low offers just dont counteroffer! I doubt it displays on the newsfeeds of all our followers. Oh my! We should be honoring each other and not be deragatory we get enough of that!!! Good Luck to all! No this is not common. What about the sellers costs for packaging materials, etc.? Unless someone is bothering you in some way, what does blocking do besides potentially cause you to miss a sale? And the trades gone bad, the hackers who stole money from Poshmark users. Blocked? If you make a reasonable offer, you will likely end up getting what you want. Do they care? I know everyone has to start somewhere, but Im afraid of getting burned! wonder why they arent selling, or think people are low balling them. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. They were like new. What type of business is this? I closed my account, that had perfect feedback, and posted all my items to Ebay. I was selling a brand new pin up girl red dress. Sadly no. I know darn well they never looked at my photos, yet they actually let her submit photos twice, and asked me to please be patient. Well, they told me I couldnt contact the Seller directly (to even say anything) so Im just stuck with a pair of defective shoes and out $50!! Its not worth all the time Im spending on Poshmark for lowballers and crazy people like her. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. Free 1-3 day shipping for a limited time. I lost money all because of the shipping cost Instead of gaining, i lost.. it wasnt fair.. Thats wonderful but Im just starting in a very saturated market over there and I just dont have all day to dedicate. OMG!!!!!!! I am still highly insulted and offended! I have had for the majority nothing but stellar comments on most everything else I have sold and live in fear that Im going to get kicked off of here due to these bogus fradulant people. Again, lack of concern and respect for sellers on Poshmark is one of the reasons I left. But started selling upper end vintage and luxury labels on eBay in the late 90s selling to a variety of people but also designers and once in awhile a celebrity. Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. I have done really well making a lot of money up until this month. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. The list is endless. It was $20 for a pair of handmade Sterling Silver earrings posted at $38. 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!! Exactlythere is none. The sellers ask higher prices on their used items because Poshmark takes 20% of the sale amount for their own fee. Your article made my day. The buyer haggled a lot on the prices, each item was listed low already but I accepted an offer and the buyer received all 4 items for just $16. I had a lot of my Poshmark items listed on eBay as well, and my Shopify store had an import from eBay function, which made it easier. Thank you for your post, I think Im going to try another site. Also on her page I noticed she sells replica Louis Vuitton which is against poshmarks guidelines but again theyve done nothing. talk about a time suck! But I guess some people do think there used stuff is better then others same used stuff . Disabled for bad behavior with a few pending purchases of my own and a few sales pending. Hope that helps! Fast shipping and buyer protection. Hello, I complete You are in posh post heaven. There is no health insurance, life insurance, 401K, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, advancement opportunities. I explained what I just did here and said I would be happy to take more photos and post them. I hope this helps with keeping low offers in perspective. I am bombarded with party invites daily and my time has been wasted further wasted. Then I came across a buyer. Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. It has definitely gone down hill an I feel like I dont get much sleep cause Im trying to make everyone happy an that part I love just not all the other crap !! Thank you so much for getting back to me. if youre still looking for hot pink pants, come visit my closet. Or I would simply walk away. Its true. The bundles costing US SELLERS more money to dish out to ship. I love Ebays way of dealing with lowballing customers the best, they have the simplest system you can literally set the lowest amount you are going to take on an item and the system will auto reject the unfavorable offer. Almost not worth trying to sell. Once I received notification of the accusation and reply to Poshmark through email and phone, despite my great reputation on the site, I got no response and had the item returned to me. I still firmly believe that Poshmark and other reselling apps are viable choices when youre looking to keep things on the green side when you declutter. But what I found in that package was TRULY DISTURBING. Be reasonable. I do detailed measurements and fabric content for every last item I post. Ive been on Poshmark a few months. Why in the world would I need a store credit for a store where my account is suspendedyeah makes no sense to me. If you pay what they are asking, list it for the msrp they suggest, then wait for an offer and Posh taking 20%, you might make a couple of bucks or break even! talk about a time suck! I did not put a lot of things in my closet because I wanted to see how it worked. And I dont go on those posh fb groups or waste a second of my time bsing w women who arent really your friend.. something I learned.. these are acquaintances.. co workers etc not friends. So now Im out the item AND the money. You list this gorgeous jacket for instance, that once upon a time you paid upwards of 200.00 for. It might be time to say goodbye to Poshmark myself. The person who received it, I think, either got it too late for the function (their fault) or it didnt fit. I did come across many people who had problems with support. Person kept spamming a listing, saying how much she liked a certain kid item. My suspicion is that she put a cat on the dress to cause snags!!! They asked me for pictures which I sent. Can anyone suggest how I can get my money for this? And then the buyer who did get the $75 Gucci sneakers at half the listed price are more than likely more apt to try it again with another seller and the low balling cycle continues. Or $10 if were lucky. That is steep. The boutiques are growing exponentially and with the shipping, they are more expensive than retail, but wont except returns. With no sharing, following, or any kind of maintenance at all. I got it Friday after waiting 9 days for it and the label was cut off. I just shipped out a new, unworn item to the buyer who obviously decided they didnt like it and claimed it was worn and with pilling! A few days later, I get an email from the buyer saying whats this? You all know how awful the communication is. I never went so far as to create a shouty angry chart that some other sellers post. Try it out and let me know how it works for you! For things I really care about and are easy enough to list, then I will use eBay because the 10% commission they charge is reasonable compared to every other platform and its been around the longest so I feel comfortable using it. Do they realize some people work? For sellers who have their own businesses, I can TOTALLY understand how PM is just too time consuming and not that rewarding in return. RELATED POST:Troubleshooting a Slump on Poshmark. I looked on line and its illegal for a minor to do this and them not do nothing. Not only does it have snags that it didnt possess before I shipped, there was white hair on it like she let s pet on it to purposely snag with their claws!! I feel like its more or less a pyramid scheme at times. If you can deal with them then you will sell if not dont try to sell on Poshmark you will not make it at all. Now on there these people go back In a month later and change there review thats insane why would posh allow that you shouldnt be able to update a review once written I cant believe how they dont realize they have grown and need more staff anyone who reads this just know before you spend countless hours building a closet just know at anytime without Warning they can shut you down.

Okay, brace yourselves, women! What do I do with low ball offers on Poshmark now? anyone have any ideas? The time spent sharing and following is insane, and the sales numbers dont justify it.
