my poshmark closet disappeared

In my experience it is the cost that counts. They dont look at the fact of the effort you put in. I was so excited to get started, but waiting on my sis to help with pictures. Thanks! My only issue was a few recent 4 star ratings for the packaging not being to their liking. Yes,I have to agree with some of this.I dont sell that much on Poshmark anymore because it is very time consuming.Sharing,commenting just to get a sale for a item.I spent hours sharing just to get 1-2 sales if im lucky.I really like Ebay and Vinted because you can list the item and go on with your day,you dont have to spend hours sharing items just to gte people to notice your selling some heels out of thousands of heels that our on sale on Poshmark.Poshmark is best if you have designer items like ZARA,COACH,BANANA REPUBLIC,DOLCE GABANNA etc.because people our looking for them all year round instead of used clothes that range $5-$10 just not worth the time. Thanks for sharing! I measured my items where I though necessary & I include information that I know I would probably want to know as a buyer. The description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. And its ppl like that, that are making me want to close up shop. Ive had a positive experience it just seems stuff doesnt sell that much. The items were an UA shirt, TWO Victorias Secret Pink shirts plus pink dog, pink bag and ribbon, AE shorts and this Packers shirt. To keep Google CAPTCHAs out of your sharing, youll need to slow down with your sharing. I am currently on Poshmarkbut have a hard time dealing with their promos. I saw your post on Posh and read your blog article. I checked my closet, and out of the 9 listings I had, only 3 remain. So sorry that happened to you. As a buyer, Closet Clear Out is a great time to score deals and discounted shipping. He is still out there after a few months. She waited too long to return it. A few days later, I get an email from the buyer saying whats this? now this just leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. As sellers we put allot of effort into the app. I have to say, that I dont see this happening on posh. Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. The other time the buyer was just full of it, but you know, I really dont want to have unhappy customers. I dont have many followers and Im new to selling online. (And I spend less time doing that than the all the sharing and parties on Poshmark!). Is it just me or has anyone else noticed they are taking a higher amount of taxes out of sales than the actual state rates? Obviously, youll want to tone it down a bit so you dont risk getting your closet shut down. Ive been on here for 5 years. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? On the web. The thing I like about Poshmark is the exposure and the fact that everything is handled with their 20% fee (except seller protection apparently!). Wtf??? I am trying to figure the best venue for resale. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. So, Im done. So you tell me who is being dishonest??!!!!!! As strictly a buyer, I cringe to hear these stories but always suspected that there are potentially steep challenges to selling items on these platforms. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! I didnt know until this blog that you could block certain buyers so thank you for that information! It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! I am pulling my hair out over this and he keeps sending Im so tired of dealing with trolls, low-ballers and snotty buyers. He had flown it, crashed it, and was trying to return it. Three months pass, I send multiple emails each month including photos- no response. The feature is abused 99% of the time by jealous nitwits who want to close down competition or ignorant fools who think they know authentic goods when they havent the first clue. I think we should be able to review the buyer. Good luck! Being a business owner It wasnt a good decision for them either. I have a small handful of relatively new Free People items that I decided to sell and posted on Mercari and eBay. Yay! But then again, for a buyer, the opposite may be true. . I think I am going to close down my PM closet soon.By they way I am following you on i instagram ( I have no idea what do there, I have so much to learn from LOL ) Thank you and have a good day!!~Moni. As I type this reply, I feel like Ive had PTSD for the past week. That would leave me with 2.50 not enough to buy the tape to close your box, lady! I take pictures of all the alterations on items if any, and any wear and tear, such as the fraying on the bottom of jeans. It wasnt. Deleting a Poshmark account is fairly similar on both the mobile app and on the web. Thinking she thinks I took it off line and sold it which is not true. Interesting how that works I thought you were innocent until proven guilty but on Poshmark you are Guilty until proven innocent . I will tell you that I dont get nearly as much traffic or interest on my Shopify site than I did on Poshmark. 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. I dont feel so alone now. Poshmark is run by tech bros, who have no fashion sense. Happy poshing! I would never sell a flawed item- especially to that degree! Ive recently started selling on Poshmark and I do admit that its super slow getting sales on this site. The first time I was active for three years and did pretty well, however, when Poshmark opened their platform to all markets, enter the trolls, the scammers, the perverts, and the con artists. I packaged it VERY carefully and sent it on its way without much more thought. So, putting it up to silver, it definitely wasnt silver and putting it next to something real gold, it wasnt quite that either. Think Ill go back to my original plan of opening a Big Commerce store and use their multi-chanel option, since I also sell on eBay (and dont plan to quit). Thumbs dont move that fast. The time spent sharing and following is insane, and the sales numbers dont justify it. Manish Chandra has surveyed the landscape and knows its not pretty. Im looking to compile a list of interested sellers so when the app launches Ill have plenty of sellers. 3. Size: Neck 14.5 Tasso Elba. Ugh frustrating but not losing hope! 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. Another was a brand new rose gold watch she got next to nothing!! Yet I have people who offer me $6 for a $200+ item and then send me a comment to bitch when I explain why I cannot accept. Cant afford new stuff like MK bags and such, but would love to get them for below $100. I am trying to decide if I should block her from buying any future items from me. Im new to poshmark and I was reading your article and Im actually glad to find something that describes the cons of the app. I was so shocked when I received an email that my item was being returned because it was not as described in the listing. The young lady said there were teeny tiny black dots on the upper sleeve, which I knew right then and there I was being scammed. Now I am trying to decide which way to go. Ill check it out! I must admit I dont spend a ton of time on it. Make sure that you are satisfied with the photos and feel free to request for additional photos if necessary I dont really have a way of proving it except with my record of sales and not having any problems. I think too few realize this is an option. Hi. Needless to say, Im flabbergasted, disgusted and completely in shock that Poshmark would side with a new buyer/Posher who has 0 listings, no info, etc. This is so amazingly true and also why I stopped poshing a couple years ago. Then I got a few weird troll comments- thats when i learned there are a$$holes on there just out to be rude. In the upper right-hand corner, select the gear icon. Only *this* many words long. I invested more than I got in return. Currently using Poshmark, but it needs so much improvement and yes, I put so much effort into packaging my items making sure each is clean and free of pilling, etc., wrapping in pretty paper, sending thank you notes, including little cosmetic samples and chocolates, etc, etc. Jessica, youre not the only person that has happened to. This unfortunately happened to me. I just know with bad experiences its definitely easy to give up. Also Birkenstock has very strict return policy anyway: take one minute to test them but show no signs of wear. Without a return policy, cover your a**, or so they teach us in law school. How they monitor thousands of closets is beyond me. Not getting rich,never tried the parties,but I make a few bucks and spend a few. Anyone know if I can file a complain? hi! They never gave me a chance to defend my bag or my closet they just removed it . I dont have any negative ones thankfully minus a brand new product that someone said was more than gently used (still in packaging) !! Sold a Chanel bag that went through Concierge and was approved, then they forwarded it to the buyer. She commented on the listing not sure these will fit, but willing to invest my offer. They sided with her and refunded the money. And guess what? Everything you experienced is what Im going through now. I hate that people are being scammed and the sellers appears to have made a few thousand dollars. In addition, of course, to checking out your shop. I havent sold anything. Youll be invited to participate in the parties by the PM Editor the day before. Thanks for the comment Angelica! ad that I had dumped out a small portion of the pigment when I bought it and hadnt touched the rest since. Thank you. I dont like the idea of shipping designer things over mail, so I drop it off at their consignment office. Posh many times does not care about it being a prohibited item or even a replica because they get their 20% from the sale. I am not sure if it is worth the stress. Customer service sucks as far as them rep-emending these people for doing this. Im glad to hear that it worked out for you though! I will now only buy on TheRealReal. I am in the process of closing my closet. I bet I have spent 8 plus hours a day on there sharing and all that other nonsense. $87 $118. To assume that theyre all men is just not fair & I would guess,not entirely accurate. 1. 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! Another guy did something similar and offered $30. The could give a flying fig about any seller issues. Its quite rewarding leaving all the drama of Poshmark behind. Boom, done. Idk why theyre not even bothering to look into this but it really upsets me, especially since theyre making money off of me. After years of it some just get tired of it. I found two types of trolls exist on Poshmark. Ive been selling (very little) on Poshmark for a few months now. No thanks. Ive been purchasing from Posh since about last July, 2016 and have spent well over $10,000 on there but back in October, 2016, I purchased two items a dress (which was a knockoff) and a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes which were described as a size 10 but would not even fit my 8.5 shoe size daughter. If they decide with the buyer, typically they send them a label and they are responsible for sending the item back to you. And I learned a lot from being on Poshmark for a few years, so that certainly helped in starting my own online store. These are terms that imply intimacy and you dont know me!! So,I message posh. 2 BOTH NEW & SEALED, NEW OLAPLEX NO. I have seen people record packaging and shipping an item (which is sad that something that extreme is needed for seller protection) Youre right people are crazy! I get a lot less than doing it myself on eBay but none of the hassle. But the MAIN reason I will not do posh is because of the very restrictive photo requirements. When I saw the photos, it looks as if the stitching snapped as if they tried it on and broke some parts of the stitching, I only say this because the new loose stitching appeared at the waistband and knee. They really only care about their super high volume sellers that sell junk (many are in China and are not restricted even with seller ratings as low as 93)! I wrote back to Marisa and copied and pasted the article then I concluded with do you really want me to sue you over $24.17. Im still active & have made a few really good friends, but some things just kill me!

This is all bogus I had an excellent reputation on Poshmark almost a 5 rating never had replicas? The answering questions. I even wrote a very nice message on her page apologizing, asking what I could do to make it right and she did not respond! I quit a year ago and then decided to create a new account to sell just a few pieces of jewelry. I grew my closet, made many sales, became a suggested user with a 5 star rating. What I mean by that is often time ebay will take the side of the customers over the sellers. The buyer has no profile or closet. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. Most Posh sellers will tell others that the first thing that they do in the morning is share their Listings. I have done really well making a lot of money up until this month. As if anyone living in the United States could make money off a vintage, used, faux leather jacket, and would bother to try to sell one that was counterfeit. Very onesided. Because my insurance deductible is too high and Im trying to get that paid so I can get medically necessary procedures done! I feel trapped! We currently host 4 parties per day with varying party themes of different brands, categories, departments, and trends. I have since had two additional sales that have five star ratings so but I feel that it is irrelevant to Posh. Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. Sorry to hear your having this issue! I certainly dont miss low ballers. Which all of hers were, so my listing was valid. The jar has about 10% left. I totally agree that it is a huge time sucker which I end up neglecting my family for $25.00, does this really makes sense. I really regret ever having been involved with it.

The shoes were only worn once, and I had pics of everything. It worked just fine. Hope this helps!! I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive.

I sold a few things right away and was happy about that. I must have sent them 25 messages explaining that I do not use a cel phone and cannot get texts and to verify me an alternate way. Yeah, ok!?!? So I dont know what I will do with all my stuff, but Ill figure it out. Required fields are marked *. Im still selling on the site, although Poshmark fees are extremely high.

It doesnt even make sense, she says there is lint all over the pants, when it is the style, so I dont even know what to do, or how long it is going to take to find out, who wins. You definitely have a huge audience on eBay. If theres something that needs to be clarified, then by all means, ask None. All the best note I would seriously try ebay just to get a better feel for online selling and I know my daughter likes Vinted. Also on her page I noticed she sells replica Louis Vuitton which is against poshmarks guidelines but again theyve done nothing. I just quit last night. I had numerous zoomed in photos of my shoes, new without box, even photos with measurements against a tape ruler. At first I was marking items at what I expected to receive, which was already hugely discounted from what I paid. , The entire interaction was so crazy to me and i looked in her closet and saw she had the same brand marked up so i figure she was just mad I had the same type / brands she was trying to make money on ?? Only to get a no reply email from Poshmark that my jacket was a counterfeit, and the listing taken down. People are picky and dont read descriptions and change their minds constantly and return things they shouldnt and push limits. Do they care? The sellers ask higher prices on their used items because Poshmark takes 20% of the sale amount for their own fee. Im hoping someone from posh reads this. The loop that connects the crossbody strap was broken so I thought even with the repair, it was still a steal. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. If you treat it as a hobby you will get paid accordingly.

With the ridiculous release of their Home Market (I say ridiculous because they already had zillions of non-allowed home goods listings), they no longer have the distinction of being a Fashion and Accessories platform (though they continue to charge a premium fee); 2). That makes me uncomfortable! Sorry this happened to you. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. There is an assumption at the foundation of this piece that what is a well-written description to one person is suitable in addressing the subjective requirements of another person.

I hate to try on clothes, so if I saw something I liked, Id buy it. The men and women who do this are to be commended, but again, their time is valuable, and are they compensated for it? I bought a pair of CL so Kate 120m asked the seller normal questions but one shoe in the picture looked bigger so I further inquired and the seller said oh its probably just the angle so I offered 3 x before she finally accepted and then I get them and it took a few strolls around my living room to realize that these heel heights were not the same !!!

I think any buyer should be aware of that and understand that someone wants to buy something that they cant touch or feel , they have to get the best information to make the best choice bc Returns on Posh or any of these sites is a pain in the butt!

Outside all the reasons most of the comments have said- mostly scammers, rude people and the absolutely worst customer service in the history of online sales I mean, honestly when its worse than eBay, that is sayin something, I think that its really being overlooked just how much Poshmark is expected to consume a persons life just to sell a $35 skirt, pack it prettily, rush it to the post office, wait for someone to get off their ass and accept it while praying they dont ding you with less than 5 Stars. So expect questions. -1 star for ship time. Posh doesnt seem to have a system in place to protect the seller!! Thanks for the insight! The zipper pulls with the brand name felt like plastic.
