I am closing my closet because the platform has drastically changed. I keep my prices very real. Brand new, very current denim is under 20.00... but, if you follow any poshmark Facebook page you will see that so many women aim to actually make a living doing this. Boutiques are now everywhere and they are ridiculously overpriced and the inventory is exactly the same. Quality is poor, poor, poor. If I see one more pair of legging paired with a cold shoulder tunic, I think I'll puke! The site experiences frequent hacks and banking info is compromised along with credit card fraud being rampant. Customer service is overseas, so any support takes 48-72 hrs and is mostly copy and paste responses due to the language barrier... not at all helpful. I really feel your best bet is still in retail shopping. You get excellent customer service and if you don't you can resolve issues on the spot. I'm no longer a fan and feel it's cashing in on the ease of online shopping that leads to over shopping, that leads to money problems that leads to desperate women needing to resell their clothing... or shopping remorse that causes people to then destroy items and open claims for a refund... it's filled now with scamming and unethical shoppers. NOT WORTH IT.

First purchase was a great experience... made an offer, it was accepted... shipped out next day. 3 days later it arrives... little short on quality but it served its purpose. 2nd offer was accepted... 4 days it still hasn't shipped. 10 minutes after my purchase my email gets hacked! I go looking the next day, another guy has same listing with exact same pictures... it was a watch, the times were even the same... I asked him if he really has it he said yes but have yet to see it. I still give it one last try thinking maybe just a scammer but whatever. Made offer on a 3rd item, accepted... the NEXT day get a cancellation with no explanation... had to ask why... she accidentally hit accept. I had already told the person that I got it for they were going to get their wish... then tell them no... I'm sorry not shopping here again,,.

I love this app, I have been using it for years and have made over 1,000 sales. The best way to avoid issues is to read and understand Poshmark's rules and policies. Follow the directions for contacting them. Be patient for the response. Don't sell fakes. Ask questions before purchase. Don't take transactions offline. Check sellers love notes and average ship times, and ask if item is available before making purchase. If they don't respond, move on! Or else your money may be tied up until you can cancel 7 days later!

I've sold a few things on Poshmark, and everything went fine. BUT when I've tried to buy on Poshmark, it didn't work out as well. The first time I tried to buy a pair of boots and was immediately refunded my money with no response or explanation why. The second time, I got a pair of boots that smelled so bad I had to keep them outside (my grandmother was a hoarder and things that came out of her house also smelled this way). Every time I submitted the form for a refund, I got the same form letter email back, but no refund or return shipping label. That was $96.

I joined Poshmark to help thin out my closet(s) and make a little money in the process. I have good experiences and after reading all the negative comments thought I would share. I've listed about 30 items, and sold about 7 making a little over $100 dollars. Everything I sell I bought through reputable retailers like Macys, Nordstrom Rack, Outlet Malls, Zulliy. I realize I am not going to make my money back even on items new with tags (NWT) and that buyers are paying shipping, so I take that into consideration when pricing. But I also know what I could reasonably expect as a tax deduction if I were to donate the item, and am not willing to go lower than that. I am also not desperate to sell and would rather re gift NWT items to friends rather then basically give them away. As for those that experienced scammers - what I have learned is to provide more info in my descriptions of items I sell, like we are a non-smoking home. If those details are important to you or you are allergic to animals - ASK! One of the beauties of the app is to ask the seller as many questions as you want in the comments section. Comments are not able to be deleted, so you can see what others have asked or if they have negotiated with the buyer for a lower price. You can also see if the seller ignores anything, is rude, or puts off some other red flag that leads you to not deal with them. The one snafu I had was I got an email saying my password had been updated, when I didn't do it. I responded to the email and they quickly locked my account and allowed me to reset my password after proving my identity. Scary to be hacked, but it was taken care of quickly and I didn't lose any money from my account.
