Thank you so much for posting this article. Tradesy takes up to 2 weeks to release your fund and transfer to your bank. It happens all of the time. Youll love this. (Theres a little Example, this one chick offered me $15 on a pair of Tom Ford leather boots in like new condition, ($15 on a pair of $3,400 boots i had priced at a very reasonable $300.) I personally am not into vintage clothes but i think your website looks fantastic! What about the time spent taking the photos and uploading them, and writing great product descriptions? I just had a customer ask me my lowest and I responded ugh! The item was never taken out of its original packaging. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Also there are so many in person places to sell like let it go on top of the usual. Sellers name: amking45, (1) document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Your email address will not be published. I have filed a case against the return but days have passed and Ive only received bs automated responses. PROS: I sold a lot, barely any return or issues with sales or buyers. If you have to spend more than a few minutes creating your listing and then doing some occasional sharing, there is nothing passive about what youre doing. It looked nothing like the photos in terms of fabric or even color. I often think of leaving Poshmark because it seems to be the site of choice for lowballers. I dont give lowball offers, but 99% of the time I give an offer instead of buying outright. If I waited to share my items at 5:30 a.m., I missed PoshMarks prime time hour. When you sold an item on another marketplace did you just delete it from Posh or just put not for sale on it? Its true. I entered it as not as described and they gave me until July 2 to return it. IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL WHEN I SOLD IT TO HER. I have considered starting this myself (before something happens and I wished I had). It was bought immediately and the buyer asked me to ship it asap which I rushed to the post office to do. I have been ready to venture out to a commission free and offer free selling environment but didnt know where to start or what platform to trust next really. 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 however, am photographing extensively anything bought from my closet before shipping!! For $50. These are typically deemed offensive as oftentimes, they will lead to a rejection of an offer or may discontinue negotiations! Thats making a decision about your life and thats awesome. Im still active & have made a few really good friends, but some things just kill me! 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. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. Stylaphile I am done with Posh too because Posh ALWAYS sides with the buyer and there are NO seller protections!! It took over a month before I had contacted the Better Business Bureau, Posh kept giving me the run around and they took forever to respond to me directly. on OfferUp. I sold a pair of boots. For me, the offer button opens up negotiating. It all like someone whos in a terrible marriage but isnt willing to leave. I sold an authentic Valentino Nuage patent leather bag (MSRP is $1950 took a lowballer offer of $60 because it was damaged), I took/posted the full amount of pictures allowed by Posh (most of the damage) and noted it at length in the description. I am either closing my closet and no longer selling or purchasing or limiting sales to established buyers/sellers depending on the outcome. I always check items very carefully before listing, If I noticed anything wrong with it I wouldnt of listed. I also received a blouse that was listed as free people. If its less expensive, and you wouldnt be out a lot of money if they scammed you, then it might be worth the chance. If I sell something elsewhere, I just delete the post on Posh. Lies! With mercari, I sold a drone that was worth ALOT more then my asking price ($300), and I had barely used it at all so it was in new condition. I consider a lowball offer anything below 50% of the listed price, or perhaps 25% below an already low price (like offering $6 on an $8 item These offers are insulting and disrespectful to a seller who needs to actually make a profit after Poshmark takes their fee. I live in the real world. The first came about when a buyer kept lowballing me on a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. I haven't blocked this person so far, I'm just ignoring it. I think I am going to dump the app after my last sale gets delivered. Sigh. Definitely open to better options! Share tips and tricks, make new PFFs, and banter about. I just figured, since it was such a huge time commitment, why not commit that time to myself and my own business? I dont have time for this stupid back and forth game people play on poshmark with that ridiculous offer button so I just declined the offer and she went nuts! Upon opening her closet, I see a ton of used Coach, DB and MK bags for 50 to 100 dollars more than what she offered me for the Prada. It almost feels like I am being exploited and trapped in this nonsense! People are so cruel!! xo. I did the same thing when I first started selling. At first I was marking items at what I expected to receive, which was already hugely discounted from what I paid. ?What do I do?? So then I would have to lower my prices to make up for the exorbitant shipping. After years of success buying and selling on the Poshmark app, I was done. Hope to hear from you soon, in the meantime have you thought about Traders village as a viable and affordable option for store ownership? I learned to pick my fight and offer no re stocking fee to avoid crazy buyers. I finally sent a comment to ask if she could let me know if the top was still available, and that I was worried Posh was going to cancel the sale. If you have a reasonable offer please submit it. First of all, WOW. I would never sell a dirty jacket; Im not that stupid. Well, someone posted it, and my closet was invaded by these, support group members. You get what you put into it! I do source to sell. Ive learned quite a bit from reading all the issues and problems that buyers and sellers have had to endure. It was stored in a bag until the sale. I havent been on Posh very long, only sold 13 items. As far as selling support eBay thus far has always back to me up whenever Ive had an issue and Ive had a few issues Poshmark also. I also dont get all the endless questions and headaches. I love poshmark, but I have found the people on there to be very rude and hurtful. Possibly Mercari? The offers that use to excite me now I do not even want to look at anymore. I received an offer of $200.00 for a LeVian ring, $150.00 for a David Yurman ring and $300 for a David Yurman Blue Sapphire ring within 1.5 days. Youd think theyd be a little more courteous. You provided food for thought. Based on experience (and believe me, I know), once the payments made, it isnt necessarily all good! Ive been on here for 5 years. When i recieved it the blouse was clearly purposely ripped in multiple spots. I was under the impression thst Pishmark had individual sellers putting up for sale their own item.What Ive seen, increasingly, is tons of sellers putting up for sale items they have bought off ebay and some of those cheaper, asian based stores that are all over the internet! If the likers were serious buyers they would have pulled the trigger. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. I hope you have lots of success! Then it seems as if only certain people share certain people items. I just want to see the closet quickly and move on to other closets. I never used Poshmark for main income but I do know some people do and it makes me sad. I was so excited to try them on. They just provided a tracking # to wait for god knows what to arrive. I agree with the author, PennyPoshmark really ends up being an eCommerce site to find a bargain and buy them OR to sell your unwanted items that are taking up too much space in your house and that you no longer need (decluttering.) I am not interested in running a garage sale on line. No commissions, trolls or drama! It never appears to stop any actual knock off actors. So in this situation mercari shouldnt have approved the refund because he has clearly admitted that he was just unhappy with his purchase price! Im not sure how this will endbut I am sure Im finished with Poshmark. I hate they have a buyers protection in place and not a sellers protection. Too bad too because I loved shopping on there and there were some truly great sellers with fun wrapping & thank you notes- but Posh wont get a penny more from me. I am thinking of going back to EBay but havent sold on there in years since I got scammed when selling a Louis Vuitton wallet and the seller claimed they never received it, so I am very nervous!! I very stupidly asked her in a comment what happened to them, they were new That was cause for harassment and I am now banned. I got some $ back from the protection plan, but I hated that I had been scammed. Its not my fault that people were uncooperative and rude. The seller just sent me a refund for whatever amount was in question. I just deleted all my listings and uninstalled the appIm taking a break and will see if I return. Which all of hers were, so my listing was valid. Let me know the name so I (and everyone else in this thread) can check it out! Because they have designed profit from it for themselves. Dont walk over dollars to pick up pennies. Did you have pay a ton of money on SEO? Im new to poshmark and I was reading your article and Im actually glad to find something that describes the cons of the app. Caitlin, Looks like Im screwed on that one too. Learn how your comment data is processed. It helps to educate them about the significant 20% selling fees sellers pay. So I sent posh pictures of my complaints. So excited! I always go into the Post office and get a receipt, then I have proof of shipment. But my concern was that many comments here mentioned a last straw situation that made them quit Poshmark for good. Just make it automatic. Im a new buyer who is thinking about quitting. Only to get a no reply email from Poshmark that my jacket was a counterfeit, and the listing taken down. Required fields are marked *. ), 3.) The shoes were only worn once, and I had pics of everything. 3. Plus there is incredible lack of insight and common sense among sellers & buyers. Im so glad I found a place with similar stories. I had told them I was happy with the other items, and only wanted a refund for the damaged top, plus the money off that was promised in the description. I quit Poshmark a couple of years ago, thank god. Youve pretty much sums it all up. Looking into this. Not sure if i would want to sell on the site. And lastly, DESCRIBE YOUR ITEMS. Luckily 99.9 of my sales have been wonderful. These people are multiplying as they are tolerated by sellers. She charged me 250 .I get the wig and its horrible,there are threads hanging out of it,its just not what the picture that I ordered looked like. I explained that I bought a Free People jacket and it was too small. Ive found some great deals on Poshmark, but I usually find my experiences on that site really frustrating and stressful. Its inane!!! As sellers we put allot of effort into the app. Are they some sort of clothing novice psycho? Im currently selling on pm And it can be time consuming sharing. You send the longer you will be waiting. If youre selling less expensive stuff, eBay might be the way to go. Wtf??? One of the reasons I pay that 20% is because Posh gives buyers some kind of peace of mind. Buyer confidence in me went up and I sell things faster as a result. Since then, Ive sold almost 40 items, which I thought was pretty good in comparison to eBay, which Ive been doing for years. If they still insist on an unacceptably low number, then decline and be done with it. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. Im in no hurry to sell it, especially not for a big loss. Now I am trying to decide which way to go. End of story. Seriously, these people except garage sale prices with high end department store quality. If you are in the Houston area I can offer you some he!p in finding inventory, getting aid from various charitable organizations in your area and even mentorship if this is truly the career path you want to go down. Since youre selling higher-end merchandise, I definitely recommend Tradesy. She ruined my perfect 5 star rating with a one star. How long did it take before you saw a profit if I may ask? Once I finally get my payment I am shutting my closet down. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! Soft Surroundings 17. The unfortunate story is- now I have a ripped handbag and it was smashed into a small package which also ruined the shape. Complete disaster. 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. 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. And some of usmyself includedend up doing a whole lot of work for $3 an hour. If this is what youre mantra-ing to yourself as you sit there with a relatively inactive item and a series of lowball offers, then it is probably you that needs to reassess at that point. Best of luck and let me know how it goes! So, when it happened to me, I was shocked. This way, the responsibility to ship it to their warehouse is on them. I find I couldnt make a profit on a lot of items due to the item being $20 $30 dollar items and then if you add the $ 6.79 the buyer is now paying almost $30 $ 40 dollars for a $20 dollar item or rather not because they wont. They were also filthy! I looked for weeks and saved for weeks because Im a waitress with 2 kids so I dont have 500 dollars to just throw around. I wont stick around much longer . And Poshers damaging an item to get a full refund? I still have a closet on Poshmark that points people to my new site (that is, until Poshmark bans me..lol. I have explored trasdesy and ThredUp, will check out Shopify soon. They told me to ask the BUYER to change it. Even before I read these comments I had pretty much decided not to go any further with PM. I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. Obviously, someone was mad that I didnt give them the lowball they wanted and started flagging my comments, but Mercari doesnt care to actually research what is going on. Hi Pam! I had done nothing to the jacket. I really regret ever having been involved with it. Ive noticed too there is just so much more supply on Poshmark now as the user base expanded. I would recommend starting your own Shopify store or selling on Depop. Poshmark is a trademark of Poshmark, Inc. Reseller Assistant is not endorsed, affiliated or certified by Poshmark Inc. 1.
