My best friend is a dermatologist and she identified them. My Inventory ReportDid you know that Poshmark has an inventory management tool made just for you? Dont get me wrong, a LOT of people have great success on Poshmark, and you might end up being one of those people. Tradesy is great for High Designer Labels and only women clothing.

Here a pop-up window may ask you for a verification code sent to your email address or phone number. Hi there, I just read this last week and breathed a sigh of relief that I have been lucky so far. So here I sit rambling off I dont have access to my own business I built. I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Ive been selling on Poshmark for almost 1.5 years now. So I said in my listing, fits like a medium. Oh and I also gave the buyer as a gift, a cute little Packers mini piggy bank AND a small lot of other Packers items I had for sale that she admired. However they no longer respond to my emails. Its bad for me and for customers walking by. Luckily 99.9 of my sales have been wonderful. I ship the same day and love that all I have to do is print out a label and take it to my mailbox. I certainly would never list an item with a faulty zipper. Thank you . Its about being social and every one is selling inspired by labels (knockoffs), despite PMs supposed policy against it. Poshmark never read my emails. There is absolutely NO need to put your store on VACATION. A buyer can go anywhere they choose to buy , but not so much for the seller , so sellers are a dime a dozen , but not so much a buyer .And they know a disgruntled buyer will probably never return , but if a seller has made some pretty good money they will blow off some steam , but will continue to stay . You are preaching to the choir as I agree with EVERYTHING you said. Thanks for your comment Michelle. Thank you for sharing your post with the world! Do you have your listings as final sale? THANK YOU for this helpful info. There are other names for it too - it can be called Poshmark soft-banned. Although, sometimes I wonder who the buyer is because they pass up a lot of really good things (nice brands, in great condition, in good styles). Its a selling clothes to people thing. Had one lady purchase two very nice dresses, file a case and say they had dog hair in the package. Like thats my fault, Uggg so another frustration I had a buyer who is also a seller spend over a $150 with me my item is priced perfect however online china takes photos off American websites and list items dirt cheap however when you click buy on the china site it says out of stock, thus happens so much when I ship my item I do so in another box otherwise I desk with buyers saying they seen it online for way cheaper thru refuse the allow me an explanation I have two items now held up because the buyer seen it somewhere cheaper then what I pay wholesale I have went to the sites and click buy you cant its always out of stock now these two items are being held why posh looks at the retutrn if everyone priced check like this online there wouldnt. so come on down and give me a reason to put you out of business fast. I figured out early on to block people with no listings and thousands of followers.number seekers. Have been having some of the same issues. as far as the Posh parties I do not engage in them. I cant deal with lowballs. Ive been selling on eBay off and on for the last 15 years and its just extra income for me. I lost. You shared too much, and now Poshmark isnt letting you share your items. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? Around march check out this person page only to find out they list on poshmark, but make sale on FB.I only made 2 sale mostly Bebe dresses NWT and I didnt want to sell anything else for $10.00. Some have been able to raise money to stay afloat, albeit at lower or flat valuations. But I had sent about 5 items just previously to sending that dress and one after the other gave me 5 stars and glowing remarks!!!

I am professional and just discuss the item. I have been selling for five months. I am feeling the same way. So many sellers dont give you any info and you have to comment to find out basic information like the fiber content or the length of a skirt. I have also been on Poshmark nonstop as well since starting my own closet. Then I came across a buyer. The item sold and once received, the buyer opened a claim stating odor and damage that wasnt describedand attached a partial pic of a logo bag with a hole in it! I have sold a couple thousand items on Poshmark and bought many items as this is my business! Usually I sell my items on Ebay, however I thought that my clothing might sell better on a site that was more targeted to, well clothing. My quick thoughts re: selling online. If you ready peoples complaints on ebay (buyers never paying, sellers canceling, fake items, etc) or any other place I feel like they are all basically the same. At this point, it may be best I dont even if they allow me to. I now have 399,568 users and I am a top rated seller however, the sales have dropped significantly and the buyers have become more and more rude and downright nasty. Besides all the fake purses, etc., I wonder about fake clothing. Its really too bad because what started out as a great way to sell my designer stuff that I no longer use, has now become a wild west market of crap and dishonest people. But letting one customer make a potentially large financial decision for you is unwise. LOL eBay is the best way to go in my eyes anymore or Facebook community yardsale. Since then another open case has been filed against one of my listings where it was clearly stated NO STAMP to determine if what I was selling was gold or gold-plated. Sellers continue to tie themselves in knots trying to figure out how to maximize sales on this platform, as everything about Poshmark is clouded in a mystery and ineptitude that keeps its users chasing. This was not any kind of problem with any other online selling site. Poshmark share jail is a way for Poshmark to keep bad-actors off the platform.

SKU Add a unique code to each listing to easily stay on top of your inventory. 2. I always wonder where people get the time to have 1 million shares. But, Im stuck. Poshmark literally tells them what to do to return an item. Not sure which freaky post that name was on The one name that responded to 2 posts i mentioned was listed as Mark7369847548. Oh yeah. So,I message posh. Here I am really depending on this income and once again its gone. There are way too many scammers on this site, too much time wasted for slow to no sales. You all know how awful the communication is. I hate when a seller will say an item is beyond damaged notifies fake issues in pics (believe me they do it) and keep my items as she gets her money back and my item for free and I also get reimburst and low and behold find them on Facebook wearing it!! That didnt happen, either. For more information, please see our They needed to compete with Amazon, and the money they made on small ticket items wasnt worth getting in the middle of a dispute over. Thank you SO MUCH for this post. Very frustrating, Jeanette, I hope you see my comment. I stopped posting on PM because of their crazy 20% fee and poor customer service. Good luck with your sales though and thanks for the comment! Ive even started listing clothes and sold one of those items. When she received it, she filed a case with Poshmark help stating that the zipper didnt work. I feel like I am being exploited. When Posh closed the case and has the buyer return it. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. I have been an occasional Poshmark shopper (I shop ALL over online, wherever I find what I want at a fair price and I never lowball anyone). ; Im going to follow your advice and investigate other options. They do not deserve 20 percent of any sale and they clearly do not protect sellers. And the trades gone bad, the hackers who stole money from Poshmark users. Their reason? I believe sellers remorse was behind the refusal to complete the transaction. Ive been on Ebay for years with fair results. Also I havent sold anything since becoming an ambassador. I am really disappointed and sad. I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. Select Order Activity.

Yes! You upload items to Tradesy pretty much the same way you do Poshmark, but you dont have to do the continual sharing. $75. I just quit Poshmark for the SAME reason. The bottom line is this , first of all I owned a retail fashion store for years and had the same problems and I found out its easier getting cussed out online than in person . I responded immediately to the clam and again a day later but Poshmark has not had the courtesy to respond. My items are not cheaply priced but I think they are fairly and accurately priced. Immediately I knew. So Ill start by saying Im Newish to poshmark. The next low rating was a similar situation. I had 53 listings in my closet, and they all disappeared. There should be somewhere to be able to report places like this. When Poshmark finally got around to a reply they told me they couldnt help me. Lucky for Poshmark. Hi Ann, im just a posher on this thread not the one who wrote the article. I couldnt believe how she could claim that when I try to be as detailed and accurate with my photos and descriptions. Not sure why. I was tempted to get into and further explain to her t how retail works (does she realize ALL retail is marking things up 45-50%+) and that I list most items that are CURRENTLY in stores now, and Im listing at 1/2 price of retail and sometime well below my own wholesale cost! Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! Reading this helped me so much. 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 even scoured the internet and found a phone number. just thought mean while Instagram was or is a good idea but having a hard time getting valued followers, most people like the posts because they want me to follow them or like back. Going crazy, any ideas? Its unfortunate that it has come to this. So I wrote back to look at my pictures and if you knew me I would never do something like this! So I tried to relist all my listings but Poshmark won't even let me do that! Hi, Thank you for this post and saving me the time and aggravation of going through it all over again. Either way, she took away all my desire to sell on Poshmark. As a bonus, youll get discounted shipping! I have been on Poshmark for 1 1/2 years and went full tilt and have over 1300 sales, Each one in blood, sweat and tears. 4 got 5 star reviews. Size: 9.5 Salvatore Ferragamo. I purchased them for $50 and received them within days. All of those things you mention happen EVERYWHERE. After 2 1/2 years and 60,000 followers later, I too am jumping ship (though will keep my closet open for as long as possible to advertise my Etsy handcrafts). I sold a pair of like new Spanx skinny jeans for a ridiculously low price to someone who I just had a feeling was going to be a problem after I accepted their offer. I have been selling on Poshmark for 8 months now i do average to sell just over a 100 items per month on Poshmark. This info has helped to confirm my decision not to sell on Poshmark.. Now posh gets back to me after 3 days asking me for more pictures and tells me the case is still under review and if I send it back on my own I wont get my money back. Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. I had sold a few BRAND new items even enclosed in package- and gotten one stars saying items were more than used. Later, Alexandria. Took a huggggee break on there. I have been using for over 6 mo, perfect sales/buyer.no complaints. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. I either get told the same script that buyers have 3 days to accept or they ignore me completely. 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). seriously WTF. My first transaction on Poshmark cost me $50 for a defective pair of shoes I cant wear or even try to resell. You betcha ! Also I am 100% sure Poshmark sells your email address as I now have TONS of junk email addressed to my Poshmark user name!!! So you think Shopify would be better for me? I shipped a designer handbag in perfect condition and the buyer opened a case stating the bag was ripped and torn. Thank you so much for getting back to me. But I am the one that got screwed an I did everything right !! I get that. So I get my two items returned, and figured, they are NOW scratched and the make-up train I sold her is ruined inside.

But when I found myself blocking people all day long, I just stopped accepting offers period. And a majority on here, due to their young age, havent even experienced life much less know how to conduct themselves with any decorum!! If you get close to that, or exceed it, you run the risk of getting locked up in Poshmark share jail. Ill check into it now. I just figured, since it was such a huge time commitment, why not commit that time to myself and my own business? Well PM has not ruled on the case yet but I am disheartened by this and trying not to let it get me down. The thing I like about Poshmark is the exposure and the fact that everything is handled with their 20% fee (except seller protection apparently!). It doesnt take much to get SU status at all. Looking into this. Candace, you should definitely start your own site! Literally sent out same day shipping for a customer NYE-eve. It got snapped up by another buyer. Then that shit stays on your wall forever unless you repost! It was just a $6 boys shirt. 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! , and that the RARE collectors items I have listed high are being sold by many others at the same price point so of course Im going to try to make the money where I can PLUS I spent sourcing & research effort m time , money , tax and shipping cost to get that items and of course Im going to try to profit if i can esp when I am losing money on so much other stuff to balance things out but my biggest under was why does she care what Im doing? Its a win-win for both buyers and sellers. Good luck! Cheap items add up to not-so-cheap totals after a while, and buyers shouldnt be expected to summarily trust a complete stranger without some modicum of reassurance.
