Last week I sold a pair of rock revival rare jeans to a buyer who had 4 previous purchases. Im so over it right now. Omg! You should take photos and send to Poshmark and get that user BANNED for life! Major Time Suck big time !!!

After seeing your post I may check out some other options. I totally agree with reason #1, no protection from sellers. i purchased them from realreal (who we know is overly cautious about fakes).. buyet is claiming there are ripples in the shoes and put up some ridiculous photos showing nothing.. first, anyone who has worn loubs in very high heels understands that if you wear a heel that high, there is stress on the heel.. i sold a pair that i had resoled and one of the undersides was definitely strained, but repaired.. its a huge haze, i have a dad w dementia and dont feel like dealing w it.. if i simply accept the return without providing pics.. will i be banned from posh?

Besides all the fake purses, etc., I wonder about fake clothing. I know he is doing this to get a refund.he has already opened a case with PayPal and now has been harassing me Thanks for sharing new ideas. But the MAIN reason I will not do posh is because of the very restrictive photo requirements. Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical.

I told Poshmark to send it back because I didnt want to have someone like that having my beautiful necklace. They just changed shipping now to 6.89 and never contacted me about that!

Without a return policy, cover your a**, or so they teach us in law school. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. Thanks for sharing! Also I am 100% sure Poshmark sells your email address as I now have TONS of junk email addressed to my Poshmark user name!!! Listings with a $0, $1 .

Im so happy if anyone is helped from reading this post or the comments. My frustration goes both ways, as a buyer and seller. , 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 ?? And,although its possible your statement may be 100% true,I would argue that theres no way to prove it either way & I actually doubt that it is true in every case. Has anyone else had this problem. When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. WIth NO ONE to pick up the phone or respond to emails. On the web. ?What do I do?? The time I spent on the Poshmark subreddits shows that theres still a tremendous amount of denial among Poshmarks most entrenched user base. Just a chime in- you can flag comments (theyll pop up asking if its harassement or offensive) and posh will take it right down! Here's how to do both. Im so sorry to hear that PM does not treat sellers fairly. Also until I learned how to use the closet and the bundle features I was getting discounted prices all over the place when I didnt want to ask for prices so I learned how to just click and buy it instead of bundling it. Its distressing to hear that now it is an issue to delete your account. And half the time they dont respond so youre just wasting your time chasing after ghosts. Posh always binds w the buyer usually. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Thank you for making this outlet to bring light to the truths of Buyer and Seller experience on Poshmark. So maybe this is his scam, I dont know. Blessings to you. I Dont think making a $10 profit on a 10k while gold pink sapphire ring is anything to write back home to mom about. Can I ask if your photo showed the item zipped up? Depression doesnt even cover how I feel. I reported both these items immediately but Poshmark decided to ignore me and released the funds to both sellers. I might as well have been talking to the wall. So I thought ok Im safe Ill turn it on and prove that it works. There are other names for it too - it can be called "Poshmark soft-banned". Disappointed in Posh. Last week, I sold a Coach bag in great condition other than a blob of clear nail polish that had dried on the interior zip pocket and slight wear on the embroidered CsBOTH of which were pictured and mentioned in the description. I lost. Feel free to reach out to her on Twitter, where she can be found most of the time, NOW WATCH: Why groundhogs are hard to get rid of, What is Poshmark? I would certainly recommend looking into BigCommerce (http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt) to set up your online store or Shopify if you have some HTML coding knowledge. I cant say that I am leery of those buying who dont have a profile the reason is that Posh has made it difficult for someone who just wants to shop and not sell. Reading it now. I was a fulltime seller on ebay from about 2003 until 2007. There is NO 100% protection. Thanks Sydney. Im going nuts. Nothing bad. Ugh frustrating but not losing hope! Some have been able to raise money to stay afloat, albeit at lower or flat valuations. Before college i have sold things here and there but since the storm im particularly desperate. Poshmark literally tells them what to do to return an item. One of my first purchases was for my daughter, when it arrived, I opened it on my deck ( thank god) and there were dead bedbugs all over the tape. Reading this helped me so much. Yay! Apparently these people are only willing to pay $5 for ANYTHING in your closet, whether its an authentic hard-to-find Coach bag or a vintage Versace dress. funny that users name is cole, same as mine LOL, Awesome you reported it too! All of those things you mention happen EVERYWHERE. I just figured, since it was such a huge time commitment, why not commit that time to myself and my own business? Although its taking some time, I am moving the inventory, and due to Mercaris fees and shipping, Im making more than I ever did on PM and I spend very little time! To switch between Markets, tap the menu on the top left of the app. The more messages Make *these* kinds of comments. That is steep. As a buyer Im very frustrated now with sellers who post but never provide any detail of the items (when it only takes a second to measure), those who send damaged goods and those who take my money and never ship at all. I recently found a listing for a Kate spade jewelry box that the poster calmed was orginally 100 dollars that she was no selling for 75 dollars. 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. 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. I am ready to close down my account already! 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. If youd like to find out more about the companys vision and mission feel free to e-mail at element22co@gmail.com. (Seller finally makes a response right after, although a very questionable one, again a little more than two and a half weeks have gone by) I just started selling and already I seem to have gotten a fraud situation. Can always press internet theft and mail fraud and let them know you will, if you dont get your bag back. Let me know if you want anymore details. Stylaphile I am done with Posh too because Posh ALWAYS sides with the buyer and there are NO seller protections!! I may have to explore some other options. She also never used the bundle feature and on one of her packages she listed a different address entirely to flim-flam me. Jen, so when I see people sooooo overpriced on PM. Im still active & have made a few really good friends, but some things just kill me! Thanks for sharing I dont feel like its just me. Thats ridiculous! My closet just disappeared. I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. I just think it is ridiculous to complain about that when you got the shirt probably for $3!! I sell ONE or TWO items per week. They cancelled the transaction, refunded the buyer and suspended my daughters account.
