is it bad to block someone on poshmark
Im @relovestyle (come say hi) and I will NOT be leaving Posh anytime soon. I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive. Three months pass, I send multiple emails each month including photos- no response. Wont make another purchase on there. 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. They are her personal experiences. Its not as social as Posh and people cant comment under items (dm only), so you dont feel like you have to be there:) Mercari is also quicker to respond when there is a problem. Tradesy sets limits on offers, so you never have to worry about lowballers. Be sure to include the following information: In my fifth purchase attempt, the item was promptly shipped and received. By facilitating these scams, Poshmark itself is condoning this type of criminal activityyes, thats what it isand these buyers know it. Great for Manish to report quarterly. Its unfortunate that it has come to this. Also, really hard to spot bad buyers as sellers cannot leave negative feedback (we used to be able to in the early days)! There are too many unethical buyers, trolls and Poshmark scams. At midnight my husband would say Are you still poshing? I suddenly realized that all the time I was spending being social on Poshmark was keeping me from doing other really productive things in my life, like exercising, writing, and spending quality time with friends and family. Y agree. I wish you the best!! PARTICIPATING IN POSH PARTIES Thank you for making this outlet to bring light to the truths of Buyer and Seller experience on Poshmark. Selling is not for me. I try to be very specific in listing all measurements and any defects or minor flaws. I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. Congrats on your Shopify store. If you are selling replicas,they will eventually close your account and ban you. I purchased a beautiful dress through a well established seller who has a good reputation, so I expected the item to be exactly as described. I getting back to my life now. This place is not for high end designer items. As per my other post, I began videotaping all packing and the full item before shipping. No response from them until today! For $50. They mentioned the policy of asking the buyer to describe the issue and sending photos. Sorry to hear about your experience on Poshmark. First of all, WOW. Then I get another email the following day saying the reason for return was that the jacket had an odor. So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!! Ive read her comments and potential buyers have asked for photos of the actual jacket and some other ?s. It does make you feel good when you always receive a good review with a 5-star rating it just makes you love what you do even more. It was in perfect condition. They were also filthy! Iv got names. But after sharing, liking, and following others, there doesnt seem to be much return. I asked the seller if it was authentic, she said yes. I prob have 20 photos of every package. I wish all of you luck in your life and i hope those haters that are reading this stop the games on Poshmark. I agree with you 100%. Starting my own business. I lost. That is just disturbing! These are terms that imply intimacy and you dont know me!! Plus, you csn expect to be then attacked by the sellers posse of mean girl Posh- buds!! A majority are on here to make a few bucks, etc. Poshmark is making a hefty 20% commission just for using their site and sending out shipping labels. I bought it the next day, which happened to be Christmas Eve. I started on Posh to pay my sons medical bills from this past summer and the only thing I feel Ive gotten from Posh are migraines, a stronger eyeless prescription and the feeling of being isolated from my family. Does she have something to hide? The dress arrived while I was working and it was three days before I was even able to open the package and examine the dress. Im still selling on the site, although Poshmark fees are extremely high. Ive been called names plenty. I am still using the app, but I will not be buying any bags! But my concern was that many comments here mentioned a last straw situation that made them quit Poshmark for good. What really upset me was that I had one buyer that did not like the lycra content in the jeans I sold her. It works both ways. I am pulling my hair out over this and he keeps sending Poshmark reports more than 80 million users, with five million of those being sellers. eBay and places like it will almost always side with the buyer over the seller because of one fact : sellers are easier to get than buyers . They never gave me a chance to defend my bag or my closet they just removed it . Irene, I would certainly be careful. Do not try to justify it because there is no justification, and if you get shut down you deserve it. Thank you for your post, I think Im going to try another site. First off, when you block another user on the Poshmark platform, you are changing a setting so that the person can no longer like, comment on, put in . Is other sellers there is so many desperate sellers that will mess with you and try to piggy back off your listings it is unbelievable. My eyes and head ache from being on my phone all day trying to follow, comment, share etcI have 2 young kids. Did anyone else not know this or am I the only one? The support group way over exaggerated their sales, and gave young mothers the impression that they could do this and care for children and make 100,000-300,000 a yr. I would also encourage others to do the same that is the only way they will correct the fraudulent behavior!! Come on over to my closet where I am always accepting offers and am having a 5 for $25 sale!" Instant. It seems Poshmark has allowed greed to corrupt their business ethics. After seeing your post I may check out some other options. Unfortunately, i live in a very small town and the local authorities probably wouldnt be of much assistance. I have now 250 items listed. You may have read or heard someone mentioning that they have "blocked" another person on Poshmark. I had 298K followers and never a problem before! I have not had a case opened yet. It was bought immediately and the buyer asked me to ship it asap which I rushed to the post office to do. Im no longer involved in e-commerce, but I just wanted to wish you success with the book. I agree the lowball offers are ridiculous and Im offended! I just opened my own Shopify store and would love to spend less time on Poshmark. Can anyone suggest how I can get my money for this? Omg somebody did the same history to me!!! 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. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Ive had some freaky good success on Tradesy with my purses/wallets. Expecting no problem, when I went to print out the shipping label, THEN Poshmark gives you grief with their idiotic verification process (why they dont do this BEFORE a new Seller posts stuff is beyond me). If I get banned because of this comment. 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. I responded to the case with a lengthy and detailed rebuttal explaining how this isnt my bag (or, even if it is, that the buyer has now cut holes into it). I was so excited to try them on. Sorry to hear your having this issue! I realize Poshmark customer service is very rude and do nothing to help! Well, that is all well and good for you, but there are people who *do* want to make real money. Maybe it cost them $1 to make! I get these questions so many times that I wrote a book and put everything Ive learned over the years in it. This unfortunately happened to me. If you have any advice about what direction i should go please let me know. How do you get traffic and also how do you get followers? I also had emailed Poshmark about using a windows phone and not being able to use their app, they never responded, that tells you a lot about Poshmark right there. Another option is to delete and relist your item. Hi; well I am a guy with closet after closet filled of brand-name clothes. Lowballers on Poshmark are the worst. Im @silverrusty. Still cannot seem to delete my account though, and really dont want to be associated with a company who is not accountable to their sellers, has no basic business ethics, and ridiculous customer service. Its the principal of things. So after 6mo and deleting my account, I broke and opened a new closet, this time I was going to be more vigilant. Also, frequently I purchase items and the seller never ships the item or responds to questions about when they will finally ship the item. There's a built-in buyer community. Poshmark ruled in her favor. I have shipped clothes before and most fits in smaller envelopes sometimes for around $3. If I waited to share my items at 5:30 a.m., I missed PoshMarks prime time hour. Others have sold at steep discounts to recoup investor money or shutdown completely. I am just concerned about traffic. Im just guessing that as Poshers are sharing their listings, they are also shopping. However, where one has a pro its the exact con for the other. Everyday Im getting tons of followers, likes, and shares a day but nobody buys. Everything you experienced is what Im going through now. I requested to see evidence pictures and posh sent them to me.instantly knew I was in for trouble with this one. 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!! Click that and you will see the "block user" option. Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. Plus they only let you add 8 pics. The buyer opened a dispute claiming its not as described and is broken. I went into their site but find it hard to understand. Ive heard a lot of similar complaints about fakes being sold on Poshmark. And I clearly listed the dimensions ::sigh:: Its exhausting dealing with rude people that dont care to read the description, like you mentioned. Unfortunately there are sellers who only post stock photos and those who dont like questions. Got that? People just follow your closet if they like the items that are in it. I clearly stated in my but the 3 days had passed and that was that. Sellers can also cancel a sale. I thought it was just me. Im so over it right now. Thanks for all the threads and all the comments. At this point, there is no customer service. At this moment, they still have the wrong name of the bank associated with my bank routing number. Thank you so much, Wow! Obviously, 1 is no binding commitment to actually ship advertised items to the buyer. This recent one was because of undisclosed odor. Poshmark is such a joke of a business. Idk why theyre not even bothering to look into this but it really upsets me, especially since theyre making money off of me. Then sit back and watch the sales roll in! The first call took an hour and a half. And then Poshmark takes a hefty cut. OMG, Im so sorry you ad to go through that Cat. Not sure which freaky post that name was on The one name that responded to 2 posts i mentioned was listed as Mark7369847548. There is. I assumed they meant dont speak to her, which I avoided. These people are unbelievable. One excuse was given to Poshmark while a different excuse (to me) was posted in the item comments. I have no way of getting my money back from PM. if theres anyone who can speak to this, i need help! What I like about Posh is that it has mostly clothing items, and frequently if I want something from a previous season, or another color of something I have and like, I can get it on Posh. Hope Im not double posting this. Well Poshmark authorizes the RETURN !!!!! With eBay, Im having a similar experience, but Im still dealing with it and need some advice. 5386. I was so negatively impacted by my experience with Poshmark that for about 6 months I tried, both on Reddit and a blog that I created, to create a community of like minded folks to start some kind of a movement to expose them (so that there is more readily available consumer information). Ive had friends try it on too with the same comment. I already buy from wholesalers so if I could learn to do my own business an save the 20% fees or just deal with the headaches I deal with daily on Poshmark , SIGN ME UP PLEASE !!! Im sorry this is happening to you and sorry about your father. I had someone bundle 3 items which totaled $30 and offered me $6!! I have to say that I have been on the site for only 6 months and have experienced all that you spoke about! Building your own site and getting enough people to buy from you aint free, far from it. Hello? A nice little money maker. They said it was snagged all over. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. I feel like there is a giant stigma around the word 'blocking'. Unfortunately, since Poshmark is a competitive market, buyers have to interact with the app a few times a day to "closet" to get views. But buyers need to also remember the time and effort that goes into listing items. Then suddenly my account was locked after emailing and waiting for the responsewhich was I had ties to an account that had been locked. Long story short: someone bought it, said it had snags, took photos and sent to Posh! I have gotten so many direct emails and messages asking me how I left Poshmark and started my own e-commerce business and Ive finally put everything Ive learned into an e-book. Anyway, only in a real store you get to send them to the bad customer file of the credit card companies to ban them from buying stuff from any store. It looks like they just bumped the shipping to $6.95. I had a brand new dr scholls flat for $8 and this Lowballers offered me 5! She claimed it arrived with holes in it. I explained what I just did here and said I would be happy to take more photos and post them. I dont own a dog, but SHE does. Ive learned quite a bit from reading all the issues and problems that buyers and sellers have had to endure. They do not care about the seller and honestly I dont even think anyone there speaks English. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Who needs that aggravation anyway. dhampyre @amking45 Bored or something?; Clearly a snide remark? I am professional and just discuss the item. Im so glad Ive found this blog post! Im on posh and dont have any complaints. The laundering care label on the side seam showed it was Forever 21. I posted about 54 tems a week ago and no sales. I agree it is pretty ridiculous! Recently a buyer opened a case on a blouse she purchased from me claiming it was stained & damaged. So dysfunctional. I am bombarded with party invites daily and my time has been wasted further wasted. Seriously? All of what you have stated is the issues I have. When she received it, she filed a case with Poshmark help stating that the zipper didnt work. Ha Ha Ha oh Posh purchasers! I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. But I am the one that got screwed an I did everything right !! They work very hard and this system is actually very self serving to Poshmark. How low class. as far as the Posh parties I do not engage in them. People might not think this is a big deal but when you sell a $2000.00 item NWT, its a big deal. THANK YOU for this helpful info. A second option of any item under 3lbs should be available . Nothing. I either get told the same script that buyers have 3 days to accept or they ignore me completely. And there are some really nonsensical things about the site. I ran across your blog and Im happy to see that I am not the only one who keeps getting low ball offers like no tomorrow. Poshmark has a consumer rating of 1.55 stars from 2,457 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Sadly no. To continue to show support for me . She then stated this on my page for the bag. Poshmark has since suspended my account, which is another issue, but should have no impact on my ability to cash out my earnings. I came home and opened the package a week later and they were SUPER worn!!! The low balling when stated as firm- yep. I started again recently and noticed really good items I put up werent selling. Recently a buyer was able to cancel a transaction AFTER I shipped the item!!! Poshmark needs to shut down inactive closets and they need to penalize sellers for failing to ship. I also never bought anything particularly expensive. I dont care if my buyer gets her money back, but not sure how PM does that with a bundle, if they have to return the whole bundle or not. It may be slow but I kind of like the process of it all, you know? But the MAIN reason I will not do posh is because of the very restrictive photo requirements. I quit buying there due to sellers who post zero details on garments, sellers who ship worn and smelly clothing, and sellers who never ship at all after you purchase. The bad thing about this is the other Poshmark accounts are basically wanting a sell more than wanting to make a purchase. Sick of it! The sellers on there have a much higher chance of actually shipping my stuff. Does anyone know if it is OK to list the same item on other websites that you have listed on Poshmark or is it exclusive to Poshmark? No thanks. !so I developed a four-point question format that I copied and pasted to every product I was interested in buying. I ask Mercari to remove the review as they were made up of lies and showed them the proof that my descriptions were honest. I dont want to continue with a company that operates this way but I also like the easiness of listing and that the shipping is paid for by the buyer and that Poshmark provides a label. Im sorry, if I list a brand new, with tags Kate Spade cosmetic bag for $20 dont ask if Ill take five. She has them numerous emails with all relevant details and it has met with no response. 20% of $25 is $5, leaving a seller with $20 for their incredible amount of time sharing, posting and engaging to sell those mittens. I dont buy or sell much, just dabble. I responded to Poshmark yet there was absolutely no support from them at all. I have never had this problem before so when the buyer left me a comment asking if I was going to ship I was confused and looked into the matter post office is a little behind updating and I felt so badof course the one time I dont wait in the long line to get a receipt!!! Sad it has to come to that! I think given the fact that Posh expects you to sell items at least at 50% off retail, then they want you to offer a discount on top of that and then Posh takes 20% off the top and NOW they have made it so you can make offers on bundles you might as well give your stuff away!! She hasnt sold anything yet from her closet. The whole thing is odd and kind of sketchy! I sold her two UD sprays, a Too Faced palette that I had used and decided I didnt want, and a Kat Von D blush Id found at TJ Maxx. My account was locked again, and I was told it wouldnt be reinstated. Now, exactly a week after, I received an email from PM saying that after they have reviewed the case and photos submitted by the buyer, they have decided to deny the return request. Looking into this. I dont feel I have the confdence to start anything emse though. Scammers everywhere, and the fees are much too high. We are such a big trailer town food trailers, etc., that Im looking into a resale clothes trailer!!! Again described, photographed, and noted ALL damage! I have 97 great reviews and one bad one from a liar. I was not expecting to make a lot of money, just enough to get by as i am unemployed and my mom has had to help me get by. Posh many times does not care about it being a prohibited item or even a replica because they get their 20% from the sale. Oh, and all those sales of counterfeits amount to sales growth and the 20% fee on each of those sales adds up increased revenue. They then locked my 1st account with there horribly generic email basically saying I needed to stop harassing Julie. 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. Irene and Cole, The $9.98 maxi dress ( plus $2.99 shipping) I bought on ebay, from China..is all over Poshmark, selling for as high as $60if you peruse ebay, and those budget Asian stores ( Shein, Sammydress,floryday..the Wish appyou csn expect to see the same items , usingvthe same stock photos(!!!) I for one take pride in getting quality products, taking nice photos etcbut I feel so irrelevant at the end of the day because I havent gotten much done. Otherwise theyll spiral out of business. If you think Poshmark is bad for the seller, its even worse for the buyers! Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! Im listing to make more than a few bucks! "My biggest challenge [with Poshmark] is that there are people out there who will make offers that are ridiculously low," said Gary. My quick thoughts re: selling online. I just know with bad experiences its definitely easy to give up. I just created a poshmark account wanting to make some money, but now I am very scared. I explained that I bought a Free People jacket and it was too small. I feel like Poshmark has become either for high-end $1000+ handbags or for cheap stock picture things from China that in real life is usually NOTHING like the picture AND has f** up sizes. I am accustom to going over ALL my samples with a fine tooth comb. For other nice things that I dont want to deal with, I use The RealReal. If this company ever goes public Im buying stock! It is insulting for a person who is a stranger to do so to another. I was hit by harvey and am trying to attend college. When Poshmark stated that I could get a refund, I responded that I wanted the item and not a refund. From across the country. Hi Mary! They are all about profit and protecting the scammers within their site. So my feeling is if she really wanted to sell this, she would respond to this ?s. Your interaction as a seller to potential buyers should always be friendly and positive so by giving a counter offer you are making an effort to negotiate with a buyer by not declining their offer. They keep threatening to suspend me if I dare comment on those counterfeit listings or if I dare warn the unsuspecting posh user that the item is fake. She probably had buyers remorse I thought. 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. But I have had 3 files opened up on etsy and they sided with me all 3 times. Thank you for providing all of us with a space to commiserate! That is steep. Its insane, now that they have grown there needs to be rules for top rated sellers. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. Just constant drama and bs. Without a Fashion and Accessories platform, I no longer have an interest in having a closet and Im officially quitting this job yeah! I myself been with them from the beginning. My listings are clear and my integrity is high. 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! You provided food for thought. Been on Poshmark since 2019. Poshmark is a marketplace for buying and selling clothes as it is a community that can be linked to social media platforms. Thanks for listening to my 2 cents. just the dress. Plus there is incredible lack of insight and common sense among sellers & buyers. I cant invest anymore of my valuable time is some MANIPULATIVE website thats made up fancy language about sharing POSH LOVE and other B.S. I belong to a few resale groups on Facebook if anyone is interested again I really appreciate your post. what else would i do ? ) Maybe one day Ill create something of my own. Im so glad I found a place with similar stories. "If it's a waste of your time, say no." In addition to negotiating, people may ask for customized bundles of products you're selling. It is perfectly staged, backlit, front lit, in fact, it is lit from every which way possible. 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!! I accepted a real lowball offer for the item in the first place, but I couldnt believe it was happening to me! It doesnt even make sense that they give $5 dollars credit when shipping is $6.49 its better not to even use a referral code.
