I also dont get all the endless questions and headaches.

When selling on shopify do I have to pay some kind of fees? It also took 11 days to arrive from 4 hours awayapparently she was wearing the shoes. Looks like Im screwed on that one too. At first I was marking items at what I expected to receive, which was already hugely discounted from what I paid. 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!!! It is just heart breaking. Can you not give a bad review to the seller? That is completely fraudulent and insulting. I emailed them re: the shipping delays from the hurricanes and got an email that said if you cant ship your order on time you need to cancel. Again, there should be more seller protection offered by Poshmark when it comes to trolls like these and Poshmark scams in general. Two more things: If youre selling fakes knowingly, stop it. Okay, I figure, this has happened a couple of times on eBay, when a promised discount wasnt calculate automatically. Every penny counts at this point. There really should be something put in place for the sellers, especially since they take so much commission out of sales.

In my opinion, at the very least, the whole site should be shut down. True.. Poshmark will not side with you ever. Idk why theyre not even bothering to look into this but it really upsets me, especially since theyre making money off of me. I sell ONE or TWO items per week. Unless you can actually make it your full time job, its best to just sell your clothes in person or by mail and be happy with whatever you receive. He is still out there after a few months. Once opened, select the Account tab at the bottom right corner. This is just one example of the countless jabs we get as sellers on Posh. They just changed shipping now to 6.89 and never contacted me about that! and zero reason why even after i would ask what the problem was more than once and to also let them know feel free to send it back free not to mention trade scamming the pervs and the please hold for me and then you do it and they dont answer you back when you ask them if they need more time or what the deal is!

So then I upped the prices on my items hoping to get an offer closer to what I wanted to sell it for, still got lowball offers. I am documenting my packaging & item just to be safe. People lowball because they are cheap and want everything for free or close to it because the shipping isnt able to be asked for as free on the buyers side.

Not only does it have snags that it didnt possess before I shipped, there was white hair on it like she let s pet on it to purposely snag with their claws!! 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. Surprise the voice mail is full. I am tired of the bad reviews and the complaints have nothing to do with my item. https://poshmark.com/closet/dresstoimpress_, http://bigcommerce.evyy.net/c/380173/185949/2941, https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business, https://seekingalpha.com/article/4497193-poshmark-inc-posh-ceo-manish-chandra-on-q4-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript. I Dont think making a $10 profit on a 10k while gold pink sapphire ring is anything to write back home to mom about. I had someone buy a top from me, and i told them i would not be able to ship for a week because I was about to go on vacation. But its over. I just came across your post same thing here for my too. If you are a new seller and wary and have questions, feel free to email me. But yeah I find it so unprofessional and unethical that Im considering just quitting. Poshmark updated on the mobile and now my log in information doesnt work. I daily battle staying on Posh. As suggested above, I will videotape placing the items in the box. Manually sharing, to adhere to a policy thats not enforced, while others are farming it out = wake up time! I getting back to my life now. I certainly dont miss low ballers. Im not even sure if they have a brand promise but it seems the expectations users had was contrary to their actual experience. No way Id sell any high end bag on here for someone to call it fake. Theyve gotten worse! So I now have a typed note that I include in my thank you note with any purchases! It makes me sad. !! as far as the lowballers I blocked them too and I found when people low-balled me on an item that was brand new I would simply raise the price even higher just to piss them off! Do not try to justify it because there is no justification, and if you get shut down you deserve it. Too many scammers and creeps!! I just came across your blog & Shopify site. Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) Anyway.. that and the LOW BALLERS are a huge damper on my enthusiasm for the PM app and community. I learned this my first month and never turned back. The pricing model just doesnt work for me. I get a lot less than doing it myself on eBay but none of the hassle. I have like 450,000 followers on Poshmark but I really want to transition into my own store online. Nothing bad. Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. Thanks. Happy selling to you all! Hi, I came across your post and loved it because it describes how I feel with Poshmark. If you did, share it with your fellow poshers! Interesting how that works I thought you were innocent until proven guilty but on Poshmark you are Guilty until proven innocent . Is essentially new to Posh, aka, a buyer. I am still highly insulted and offended! After 114 5-star reviews with raves about my packaging with no problems in 3 years, I finally got scammed! Im kind of getting tired of PM myself, and Im fairly new in there! Who needs that aggravation anyway. They openly discuss their light assets model carefully avoiding any discussions about the pitfalls: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4497193-poshmark-inc-posh-ceo-manish-chandra-on-q4-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript. Part time my a** if you are going to be successful on Poshmark you have to work it constantly and you have to check your emails constantly to assure you havent sold something because , you have two freaking days to get it out . I show them all the photos that were in the listing too. So may just focus on that. I dont have time for social selling. I have sold a few things but thats about it even though there are nice things in my closet. Lmao! Im not spending countless hours listing stuff to only get offered pennies, if that. Ive heard of people not getting backed by Posh but so far so good! 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. I wonder if Poshmark shadow bans certain sellers? Its been great so far for me. But it got me very upset. Hard to find a good place to sell my gently worn, quality clothing! Expensive items seem risky for the buyer and the seller. $300 down the drain. Thank you for this post and saving me the time and aggravation of going through it all over again. My addiction of buying has been ridiculous and I only ever had one issue and they did refund me- someone sent me a leather jacket that was dry rotted split cracked and shredded! I didnt mince words in my complaint! Well the folks at poshmark know the same thing. In my experience it is the cost that counts. Your forced to go to there parties in order to view the sellers current items in the feed. I also told the folks at Poshmark about the discount thing. I also let my regular customers from Poshmark know that my closet had moved. That way there is no dispute! There are other names for it too - it can be called Poshmark soft-banned. Too many scammers and Poshmark does nothing to help either party. 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. Then it seems as if only certain people share certain people items. I have also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the BBB, I was also instructed to file with my state Attorney General. I found it incredibly frustrating to put so much effort into photographing items that buyers wanted to lowball. Thank you so much for posting this article. Im so sorry for these assholes being mean to you! Well they locked my account. Thanks for the comment Holly. *Although they prohibit the use of AutoShare Bot programs, as with the non-allowable items, they do nothing about addressing the use of these. I sell a lot on eBay and Tradesy as well. Size: M Eliza J. my_closet_bliss. I make my bundle and place my order, figuring that the $5 will be deducted from my total. I bet I have spent 8 plus hours a day on there sharing and all that other nonsense. In my second purchase attempt, I followed up when the item was not shipped although two weeks had passed. First it blows my mind that people will pay for designer dusty bags and empty shoe boxes but hey, that thats just me. I posted on her page and also on the thread on bag and said can you give me more info. Have been selling and buying (a lot more buying LOL) since March, just to clean out my closet and re-sell nicer items that I just dont wear anymore. We are such a big trailer town food trailers, etc., that Im looking into a resale clothes trailer!!! The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. What should I do? Thanks again for the comment. Its not! 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. Once opened, select the Account tab at the bottom right corner. Well, that is all well and good for you, but there are people who *do* want to make real money. from my research of the Posh parties everything I read up on them said that the posh leaders of the parties mainly promoted their own product and that very few people got a lot out of the Posh parties so again bc time is limited for me I do not bother to participate. As far as low ballers all you have to do is ignore them. There is no protection for sellers for false claims. The very first item I ever put up, a $35 faux leather jacket I had worn 3 times from Arizona Jeans Co. If you stand up for yourself and dont allow them to rip you off, you get indefinitely suspended. Never again mercari. Ive been really happy with their decision-making once I learned I wasnt powerless in the face of a handful of unscrupulous buyers. I love posh and you just have to protect yourself by videoing your transactions! Hi! Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. I pack my listings with information though, and use all the photos also, and I know that is instrumental in helping me win my cases. And forget about offering gallery-quality jewelry on Poshmark. My listings disappeared on Poshmark help? Now I found thus blog because I was severely harassed today for no reason by a random person. I hope you got something out of it. As you said with the item you sold that was return, it takes time to take photos, answer questions and ship the item only to get a return.
