If you dont mind me asking, how did you get your traffic back to your site? 20% of $25 is $5, leaving a seller with $20 for their incredible amount of time sharing, posting and engaging to sell those mittens. Thanks for all the great insight and perspectives. 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. Keep me posted if you start something outside of Poshmark so I can help you promote it! They sided with her & I got a damaged coat back. For sellers who have their own businesses, I can TOTALLY understand how PM is just too time consuming and not that rewarding in return. When she received it, she filed a case with Poshmark help stating that the zipper didn't work. Ive had far more positive reviews than negative but lately a huge influx of negative when I havent done anything different. I do have a question though with you being so successful with the site; It does seem that to be successful on the site you have to sell mostly name brand, so where do ppl find these name brand items for low enough prices to mark them up high enough to make a profit? So if someone is willing to pay for them, Ill gladly move my shoes to a plastic container and sell you my boxes and bags. Now I have someone asking me how I could sell it and not have the SOLD banner across it that Posh puts on when it sells. Also, coincidentally, I had a buyer of an authentic Frey Wille bracelet open a case against me. Im going to follow your advice and investigate other options. I emailed them about that and of course they NEVER replied and just removed that bag as well. I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. 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. At this point, it may be best I dont even if they allow me to. I have only had one offer and it was about half of my listed price. (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) But I have had 3 files opened up on etsy and they sided with me all 3 times. She rated me a 3 Star and Ive only had 5 star ratings. . 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!! And many of them are topless men and other men in inappropriate poses. I just started selling and already I seem to have gotten a fraud situation. But if this continues to happen then I will have to find some other venue to self. Thank you so much for getting back to me. The buyer, with three followers, complained that my new Reed Krakoff bag smelled like manure and was stained all over. You upload items to Tradesy pretty much the same way you do Poshmark, but you dont have to do the continual sharing. I videotaped myself opening the box and sent it to them. I have to respond because Im a big shopper. Hope that helps! In the return screen I contact Posh stating I got a damaged return (now unusable/sellable) and hear crickets. 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). So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. Just take a day off and enjoy yourself. Ive been a member on the site on and off for a couple of years however it wasnt until the last three months that Ive really been active. An older women and didnt realize makeup is duplicated. They always protect me and I only lost 1 dress because I didnt understand, and etsy didnt tell me, China doesnt respect our tracking #s so it was delivered but no tracking proof so she, of course , knew this and filed a never received claim. I only do this for high- end items. I want my buyers to love what they get. I recently found a very unusual top, by a designer from Lebanon. Its super simple to use and youll have much more control over your sales and your earnings. Thinking she thinks I took it off line and sold it which is not true. What really upset me was that I had one buyer that did not like the lycra content in the jeans I sold her. I totally agree with reason #1, no protection from sellers. Years ago, I gave up on Ebay because I purchased something and just never received the item. If you want to net a profit $29.00 for an item, best list it for $88.00 because Poshers have no Shame trying to get something for nothing. I have a small handful of relatively new Free People items that I decided to sell and posted on Mercari and eBay. The buy, destroy, and open a case type. Postmarks used my redeemable points. And then today? I am quitting at the end of the month. Omg somebody did the same history to me!!! How long did it take before you saw a profit if I may ask? So sad. I shipped it. More so than Poshmark. One thing Ive noticed with new apps, is they do seem to listen to the customer. Quite a deal, but not shocking, given some of the buys Ive picked up on various platforms. Then I get another email the following day saying the reason for return was that the jacket had an odor. It was $20 for a pair of handmade Sterling Silver earrings posted at $38. Theyre not gorgeous, staged photos theyre photos for record. so ill stay a little longer -but maybe try Ebay and other sites for my more expensive collector items. By the way, I love and appreciate your honesty. Because they provided a different label they have somehow messed up the payment, but no one will help. I think its around $50 for a booth rental on weekends and like $250 for an enclosure for the month but its been a while since I have been out there so prices might have changed. Only 3 hours away, wish i was there! Not just for the brilliant content rich posts but also read the comments!!! I also sold and item and received only a 4 star rating for no reason at all, I did everything right. I havent had any major complaints, I do research the buyer or seller before doing any business with them.I have also tried Depop, but still fairly new there. She also has comments from other poshmark accounts calling her out on being a bad seller and harassing them to which she responds by calling them names like whore and piece of shit. Its crazy and again poshmark does nothing. Tradesy sets limits on offers, so you never have to worry about lowballers. Thanks @stylaphile youre right, its seriously not worth it. I even scoured the internet and found a phone number. Yes, I use Shopify because Im selling a mix of vintage, pre-loved and brand new items. Is the jacket in the pic not the one she would send if someone bought it? 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. I lost money all because of the shipping cost Instead of gaining, i lost.. it wasnt fair.. But its over. And it turned out that for me, it wasnt. Ive had 2 offers from people who joined the same day (or within days) as the offer. No response from them until today! I dont own a dog, but SHE does. So after 8 days and no help from them, I deleted my items and cancelled the one sale and left a detailed message for the buyer, who, if she has any kind of brain, ought to have the sense to look on other selling sites if shes interested in my item. Ive read all the horror stories on this blog and its very scary. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. I feel that I should get some of my money back bc I have defective shoes and poshmark has a guarantee to not sell faulty items since I paid so much for these defective very expensive Louboutins I feel that I should be compensated.. so far as a buyer this website kinda sux .. Im an honest person and buyer and not one thing that I bought on this website was described accurately ( I take that back one pair of pants were fine) but sellers should be honest bc there are good honest buyers like myself who end up with the short end of the stick. Select Account Info. As a buyer, Ive been blocked for asking respectful questions about a product I am neither able to preview nor return. Obviously, youll want to tone it down a bit so you dont risk getting your closet shut down. Poshmark did not respond further. I recently found a couple of buyers that made me rush to send their packages, only to give me a 2 star rating because the item , in their opinion, wasnt as described. I have not tried Tradsey, do you feel that your experience is better on Tradsey? I either interacted with folks that have drank the Poshmark kool aid and are delusional and in denial or folks that do recognize the deeply flawed issues about the company, but dont care enough to put any energy towards calling them out. even when the tags are attached theyre still trying to get something for nothing and thats the frustrating part! Tap the Offer/Price Drop button on any listing and select Offer to Likers (these are private). I think any buyer should be aware of that and understand that someone wants to buy something that they cant touch or feel , they have to get the best information to make the best choice bc Returns on Posh or any of these sites is a pain in the butt! Hi Amber! I contacted Poshmark stating the item was brand new but I just received a generic response If there are any problems with your returned order when you receive it back, please go to your order in the App or website, tap on Problem/Order Inquiry and report the issue through the Report Problem with Return. button. The problem is that there was no problem with the item to start with! I am new to Poshmark (less than a month) and I have to say that I am definitely buying more than I am selling. They used to. I am resigned to having a ding on my account so I just told her to contact Posh as I have no access to her payment and they are holding it. Once I launched my store, I never had anyone send me an offer for anything on my site. At this moment, they still have the wrong name of the bank associated with my bank routing number. Thanks for the comment Angelica! Thanks for your help. hire me, I love everything you said. I am a seller on Poshmark and I provide many details for the items I sell. After November 16, 2016. Thanks for your suggestions of better alternatives to PM! I just received my electric yoga pants back today, and not only are there new snags on it that it didnt have when it left my possession, there are stains at the knees and the back of the pants near where your heel would be. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. Poshmark is run by tech bros, who have no fashion sense. I think its safe to say that customer service exists in name only. Honestly she can keep the $15 and the lipgloss I just wish shed stop spamming me and sharing my information with the world. I had a genuine Chanel listing reported and questioned. As a very small time seller (only my own high end closet items), I spend a lot of time photographing and always ship same day. I have no idea what Ill get back since she claims its damaged now. In my, meet the posher page I identified my closet as, not boutique, not thrifted that was it. You have to create a profile. even though I like /love a lot of the clothes on Posh I think a lot of people didnt take it seriously enough. Use this feature to: To get started, simply go to your Account tab, tap My Seller Tools, and select My Sales Report. These promotional events include ways to score discounts, make sales, and win prizes. They were also filthy! The pricing model just doesnt work for me. I found it unethical that they let that Header on my news feed, because it basically deceived me into thinking I had free shipping. I have like 450,000 followers on Poshmark but I really want to transition into my own store online. It got snapped up by another buyer. The seller has just as much to lose as the buyer. Ive been toying with the idea of starting my own website, Im just not sure Im there yet. It would be easy for a new website to come along and save sellers, and buyers, $$$$$. Done selling!! These people are unbelievable. Thats where wed all benefit! And more importantly, I dont have to deal with the following Poshmark problems that caused me to quit altogether. She is completely insane. Ha, like that will ever happen! Poshmark share jail is a good thing for the platform. Congratulations on your new book! I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Well the women purchased this brand new dress from me an I mailed it out on the same day as she wanted it for a weekend party .. so I went above an beyond an she received it an on the 3rd day she opens a case against me claiming that the sizing wasnt right an it couldnt of been a size Large 12-14 , an wanted her money back ! (Some of them). Not sure where that came from? Ive had completely ungrateful ratings and rude comments left, even when getting an item close to 90% off in mint condition complaining of perfume smell (it was sitting by an air freshener). Thanks. It should appear at the top of the page every time you share an item. Bundle & Save! Looking into it now and will be following your journey too. Its terrible that they called you a whore. xoxo. If youre interested in learning about it, keep reading! There are rude ignorant young girls on there that get angry when you reply to them or ask them questions as well. Had a sole imprint and everything!!! I get charge backs with my own online store and never win even when the buyer hand signed for the box. Im so sick of sharing other peoples things and not getting the same in return. Just browsing through the brands, i was horrified by multiple posts in 10.Deep that appear to be selling people or offering their services. But most alarming was a picture of a young boy with the user name listed as hump87. Im not sure if I will buy through Poshmark again. Since then, I have SO many new followers everyday. One way to know if this has happened to you, is youll start to see less engagement on your items (less likes and comments). I responded to Poshmark and informed them that the zipper worked perfectly when it was shipped, but they sided with the buyer and returned the item to me. The platform is design to sell to women only. I get it in the mail and the leather feels light. Mercari didnt do anything but send me the same copied and paste reply that I was shit out of luck. Heres the bad experience I had that was the impetus for my Poshmark departure. If you want to avoid share jail and avoid CAPTCHAs, keep your shares under 4000 in a single day. Hope this helps!! I suddenly remember why I hate Poshmark, I started using it again and people have the nerve to ask me for $20-$35 discounts. So maybe this is his scam, I dont know. I live in the real world. I just need a shop I can promote myself, one that can help take payments and provide shipping info, All the best to you and wishing you abundant success in your business!! As a seller I wish I had seen this before I was scammed by a buyer. I hope you keep us posted on what happens. What??? I listed clothes from my closet. Anyway, ive sold several items on Poshmark and had great ratings. If youre going to start your own site, try BigCommerce here: http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt. That my integrity as a seller was being questioned. Seriously. I only sell things that I would buy myself; if there is too much wear I will either throw it away or donate it. Yes it takes a lot of time to sell on the platform that Poshmark created, but you can sell on Poshmark for sure!!! Even ebay did a better job. We are such a big trailer town food trailers, etc., that Im looking into a resale clothes trailer!!! My friends wont join or buy because theyve told me: if I see 10 items I want from 10 different closets, Im going to pay over $60 in shipping not worth it!! Poshmark is very odd. Trust me, if you dont share your items, your 333,000 followers are not going to go in your closet and make an offer or BUY IT NOW. The buyer also used a sob story stating how shed NEVER do something like that because of medical necessity/disability. Welcome to #thePoshLife, a blog by Poshmark! Your buyers will get discounted shipping (its on us). At least with eBay, you only see what you search for and are not bombarded with gross items and sellers all over your feed. Always looking for great people to network with . OMG, Im so sorry you ad to go through that Cat. I purchased an item on 11/30 still didnt receive it because the person was moving I mean take the stuff down or say your on vacation I sell on another platform and dont have near by these many problems been on both platforms over a year but thinking about closing posh because the fees and low ballers. Wow the same thing just happened to me with a $8 dollar dress, the buyer was aware of the damage and asked zillions of questions then purchased the dress which is a expensive item sold for $8 when she received it she instantly open a claim for $8 freaking dollars!! If I had an inexpensive small item, I still got charged the $7.95 or whatever even if it really only costs $4.00 to ship. So sorry that happened to you. In this case, it restricts people who are sharing much more than what is considered reasonable in a single day. It was good to get away for a month vacation and I am hoping to change my reselling strategy. Did anyone else not know this or am I the only one? This site/blog still remains the only place where folks can get critical information regarding Poshmark. 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. This is a bold face lie! There is fraud EVERYWHERE. Whatever. I have had a bag removed from my closet because someone decided it was fake and reported it . She made this payment 3 weeks ago and has not heard a single word from Poshmark since then. 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 know I will one day. If I get banned because of this comment. Yup, you heard it here. Thanks for the insight! Sorry! 1. Unless you sell only high end expensive items its just not worth it. Because of those experiences, I am now extremely cautious when purchasing from places like Poshmark and eBay. No response does not work for me if I must hand over an unworn item with tags attached for authentication. They think that a seller that has made a few dollars on their site is way more invested in their site than a buyer . 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 . This is when they still owned Paypal. 1 star rating because the buyer didnt think the sort was the correct brand, while I provided a receipt copy. God forbid they side against a buyer. 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. Why in the world would I need a store credit for a store where my account is suspendedyeah makes no sense to me. I stopped posting on PM because of their crazy 20% fee and poor customer service. If you find yourself in share jail too often, there can be some long-term consequences. I am now waiting for a response as to whos responsible for the return of my ORIGINAL bag as I will NOT accept a bag that isnt mine or intentional damage to my bag because the buyer changed her mind. I have come to the conclusion that: 1) they are run by bots and no real people work there, 2) if they DO have real people, they are all 20 years old and complete idiots, 3) Elon Must just bought them and 4) regardless of the preceding suppositions, their customer service by ANY definition absolutely SUCKS ROCKS. Use the site wisely, certainly dont sell something you wouldnt give away to charity. Two days later they sent me another email inviting me to view a knockoff bag ( the seller used that term in her description ) and get it while it last. And comments like this always make me wonder too if they are trying to convince themselves. 7. What they really mean is exposing this activity breaks down the trust and integrity of users. Select Order Activity. What should I do? How they monitor thousands of closets is beyond me. Hi , I have the same proble likie I have a open case with A free people dress ,and the buyer make a open case because is not authentic . It would be a pain, it after the three days of inspection you could just delete the video. xx. My advice would be just to cut your losses with this buyer and block him from ever buying from you in the future. I have a buyer questioning the authenticity of a bag I sold herthat is after incessant questions about everything. Im actively moving my inventory to less time consuming platform(s). Well notify you when the price drops on an item youve liked. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. and then no accepting or reviewing so you have to wait for your cash! Hard to find a good place to sell my gently worn, quality clothing! Now I am trying to decide which way to go. I didnt mince words in my complaint! Lowest Listing Price The lowest price youve ever listed the item. I have Traumatic Brain Injury, put so much time and money into Poshing. I have had no issues with anything I have purchased or sold so far, and I put a lot of effort into my packaging and fast shipping. Reason #2. Oh yeahand uploading pictures?! In my 3rd purchase attempt, the seller cancelled the transaction without letting me know. Its discouraging.. There is absolutely NO need to put your store on VACATION. Ppl dont usually tell the down side of things. They do CCO and other opportunities that are NOT opportunities, its how posh makes more money, not us so dont fool yourself. Youll be invited to participate in the parties by the PM Editor the day before. I was just wondering where else can I sell my jewelry and get a good traffic. I appreciate your ideas and will look into it, This has helped me process what I want to do as a reseller since everyones posts have been helpful since I started selling PM in Jan 2017. Thanks for making me feel better about my over reaction! Now i did have one case opened up by a buyer trying to get something for free and Poshmark did not honor the buyers request at all. They just simply disappeared! After 114 5-star reviews with raves about my packaging with no problems in 3 years, I finally got scammed! Lol. From Bundles and Trends to Offer to Likers and Posh Stories, Poshmark has tons of features to help grow your business (and make sales) right at your fingertips. Most likely they are getting discounted ship pricing and earning on ship price also. Im @relovestyle (come say hi) and I will NOT be leaving Posh anytime soon. Ive branched out to posting my items on IG, Im just nervous about making the leap to a full fledged small business. I obviously had the same feeling as you. Youd think theyd be a little more courteous. An interesting fact that my friends have pointed out to me regarding Posh (which is why they will never sell or buy from them): Chances of wanting several items from one closet is rare. I had 32 listings on poshmark and they all disappeared at the same time. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. 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. !so I developed a four-point question format that I copied and pasted to every product I was interested in buying. You send the longer you will be waiting. Thank you. So here I sit rambling off I dont have access to my own business I built. Then I started selling higher priced items and didnt realize the fee went up to 20% for those items. Thanks for sharing. So Im out $50 an a dress I cant resell as new an havent reposted due to the snag in the dress !!! It can do thousands of shares, and follow thousands of people, all by clicking one button. I make my bundle and place my order, figuring that the $5 will be deducted from my total. 25. r/poshmark. 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. Do not give them a try. The only time I had someone return something was because I sold a pair of skinny jeans, but the girl said they werent what she expected because the label said straight jeans. I mean absolutely every single thing complete with order numbers, photos, love notes and all. Poshers reading the full description & observing photos of jewelry and immediately filing a claim stating that the item was not as described ? I am annoyed. Overnight????? A lot of times I state please read my description after they ask a question that is listed in my description, along with a smiley face and then here comes Im a rude whore that needs to learn how to treat people nicer to make more sales LOL. Until recently, a buyer opened a case claiming that my item is not as described, that the item was broken, damaged or stained. I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. I should explain that I am an older lady (older but sharp) and I have a desktop computer and a landline phone and I DONT USE A CEL PHONE. I dont know too many things that are just off about POSH! I think sometimes sellers forget that buyers are on these second hand sites because some people and families cant afford to buy new. 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. Every Offer to Likers you make is an additional entry. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. Im easy to find just look anywhere online for Hillarys of Houston, Im the owner. You live and learn! Besides all of that, I feel if a company/organization is legitimate, honest and upfront, then there would be an amazing customer service!! I thought it was just me. I am willing to give deals but the gall that some have is unfathomable. Poshmark has a cultic following like Amway did. , 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? 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.
