To many girls sell clothes from asian wholesale websites and also used makeup isn't allowed and girls still do it. Poshmark needs to check there users and there listings. I was harassed by a girl non stop poshmark refused to help. Also stock photos shouldn't be allowed many girls use that but the item is completely different. Also Since poshmark doesn't follower there rules they should be closed and they cheat you.
UPDATE: My sister bought a so called gucci bag and its fake postmark refuses to refund her we are filing a dispute with our lawyers this is bs posh needs to be shut down.
If you are looking to set up an online business for clothing and shoes (new or used) or household items don't start with Poshmark. Poshmark is not set up for business purposes, they are set up to be an on-line garage sell for fashion. They do not have the tools to support someone who wants to grow their online presence into a real business and it is not worth the time sharing your stuff and creating followers. You are better off going to a site like eBay, taking the time to learn the shipping game and build a real business that will scale. Poshmark is not set up to scale. Poshmark is also petty deleting your listings without giving you the opportunity to correct when they think you have violated one of their rules. Poshmark is run by people who are inexperienced and more concerned about being right. Poshmark makes it very easy to ship, but that one benefit is not worth investing your time in when eventually your business needs will out grow the platform.
I've bought a bunch from Poshmark, and save for two items that were not as pictured everything was in excellent condition. I am opening a dispute on one of the imperfect items and decided to keep the other anyways.
By the way, if you sign up in the app with code UNXAZ you will get $5 off your first purchase (and it helps me a little too).
For few years now, I have an account at Poshmark. I recently became Poshmark Ambassador. Now I get a lot of people following me, I cannot keep up with it. I find that it takes too much time to promote and very little return on all the follows and promotions. I checked recently, it's best to have as a seller your pricing to be above $15
Otherwise, they take too much of a percentage of the sales. Instead of deleting my items, I raised the prices, as I don't really care to sell there. However, I will still keep my store up, in case someone likes to buy, because I have lots of stuff from my closet and I don't want to delete. Last year I had 2 sales. This year, so far I sold only one item...
I have also bought items, and I had good experience.
It's like ebay used to be before they got Crazy. As a buyer you don't have to wade through tons of cheap non US seller junk or see the same listings spamming the site from a few sellers under different names. And when you go to check out you never get a message that something went wrong try again later. It makes buying fun again!
From a seller's standpoint it's less threatening than ebay has become. It's very easy for sellers to pick out the few scammers. Listing WORKS! There are so few glitches on here and they don't change your listings like that other place does.It's like a breath of fresh air or like the good old days at that other place. I recommend trying it with a few small items at first to get your feet wet. You will love it!
Poshmark doesn't even deserve a one star. I buy pre owned clothing items for children and women in need most of the time. And give it to family networks centers. I bought a pair boots for a boy for $120, that's what he wanted... my good feed for this holidays. And they were disgusting, dirty and wasn't as pictured at all when I received them. Poshmark team kept dragging the return for weeks, asked to provide unnecessary pictures. And then denied the return eventually after wasting my time. They don't have a buyer protection plan and it's not buyer friendly. Poshmark is not a great place to do your shopping, I will not recommend this market place to anyone.
I love Posh, protects buyers and sellers, their customer service, I have no complaints, they always get back to me within 24 hours and have resolved any problems. They prohibit fraud and scammers, making it difficult for a user to buy an expensive designer overnight bag, use it, and then attempt to return, after their TOS has expired. Anything I bought, or sold, has all been 99% 5 star ratings, of course except for the scammer.
I honestly thought it was a mistake that the seller had 'new with tags' on her listing once I received the boots. I took a few quick pictures and 'opened a case' for return expecting Ebay or Amazon type professionalism and service. What I received instead was the seller demeaning me, insisting that the boots may have had dust on them but I only needed to wipe them off, calling me a liar, etc. I was horrified. I didn't acknowledge her insults but posted more pictures after reading these reviews, hoping to prove my point. Haven't heard anything from PM yet but the seller told me to never buy from her again. I'll stick with Ebay and never ever ever again will I risk being scammed by dishonest people at Poshmark. $101.00 of my hard earned money in the hands of a thief. Sickening. (photo is different shots of the marks... many of them, most noticable are worn and dirty soles) This was supposed to be a gift.
Fees to sell are extremely high, and their application is so glitchy. They are flooded with fakes, replicas, and so much spam. It was decent about 5 years ago, but have gone downhill ever since. BEWARE.
If you unfortunately purchase an item not as described, POSHMARK doesn't care! They keep your money. I purchased an item that was not as described. Contacted Poshmark, submitted photo showing you could not wear the item 3 different ways as described by seller because there were no fasteners. They responded I should have asked more questions and would not let me return the item. I have purchased some great items on there but no worth the rip-offs. Buyer beware!
Unfortunately, it does not make up for the fact their customer service is trash- 90 % of the time I leave a conversation with them more frustrated than when I went in they never offer anything helpful they only cut and paste terribly written form emails that are condescending and assume the seller is guilty without even looking at the case this women, for example, found out she could not return because an item because they weren't soft enough so she marked them up with ink, I provided Posh with before photos and they still voted in her favor and then I find out several other sellers have had the same problem with her. The oversite is terrible in addition to ignoring scammers they ignore creepy guys who ask women to model clothes and allow people to sell used underwear. I doubt they really have much staff because most interaction seems like they are with bot even though they clam the are different people all the emails are worded the same
I bought a pair a CL booties on Thanksgiving day. The seller has yet to ship them and is completely unresponsive to messages. I hate that there is no way to contact the seller other than leaving public comments on the listing. It's ridiculous. I have asked about a shipping eta twice with no response. When I checked out the seller, it says they haven't been on the site since September. What the hell? I don't understand why sellers post items and then never check on the listings. This has been a very frustrating experience so far. I will never use Poshmark again. Another commenter here mentioned Mercari being much better so I checked it out. I definitely recommend Mercari over Poshmark.
Just left Poshmark. In the beginning it was fine. But the last three items purchased were not as described. One lady sold me New Balance running shoes. Specifically asked if medium width. She said there were medium. Sent and they were 2A narrow. The next item was a Large sweatshirt with the chest measurements of 21 inches. The item sent was a flimsy sweater 18 inches across. Then another item that was new with tags that smelled like a perfume factory. I rebelled after receiving the sweatshirt and said enough. But after uploading two sets of photos on app and attaching photos to 2 emails, customer report said they did not receive photos. So rather than get more upset, I just walked away as a customer... lesson learned.
I order a pair of shorts. The misti g said one size, they came a totally different t size. If you dont request a return in 72 hours you cant return at all. (We have a po box so I dont always get my mail right away). So I could r return. Second order said new with tags. Smelled so bad of perfume I couldnt wear it. It would need to be dry cleaned and even then might not be wearable. Poshmark says its ok because I can resell it. Sorry Im an ethical person and I would never sell something as new whe. Its not.
Should have known just by opening a google review and seeing 1.5 stars that this company is worthless. Purchased an Ugg blanket and then purchased a second 4 days later. Paid for both and they refunded money for the second order... guess I wasn't supposed to have two! Received at least 6 form letters in response to my inquiry as to why my order was placed, paid for and canceled. Seller has blocked any communication and Poshmark has no reasonable explanation. Will not order from this company again. Can't fix stupid!
Poshmark protects there profit by denying you refund request and then you are stuck with a piece of junk.
I purchased a pearl ring and when I received it, the pearl looked like a tooth. Horrible. I requested a return and the seller kept saying pearls are like snowflakes and no two are alike. I said no because I've seen to many pearls that are round. Poshmark stood by the seller and I'm out $250.
Don't buy anything from Poshmark. Satisfaction is not guaranteed.
Poshmark is probably the most awful app I've ever had. I was SO excited to start selling designer bags I haven't used, they've been sitting around in my room forever. Not only does poshmark take 20% of everything, they will also say every single designer bag is fake. It's happened to multiple of mine ( I know they aren't fake). The customer service is awful. If you're new and looking to sell, please go elsewhere. This app is a joke, and I've seen hundreds of other reviews stating the same thing
Sellers are charged at least 20% per each listing, more if the item is under $15 (for example item is $5 Poshmark takes $2.95). Horrible customer service. A buyer scammed me. I sold a used dress and new without tags hat. Buyer returned item because of (random hairs on dress) the pictures she submitted showed little to no proof) Items were not damaged in any way. Poshmark immediately sided with buyer within 3 hours of delivery (I had no input could not defend myself) Upon return I received. Beaten up box with holes, and it had been crushed (you can tell it's an old used box). My dress was stretched out at the waist ( buyer probably tried it on and didn't want it), my hat was completely crushed and out of shape. I told poshmark as soon as I got my items, no reply for days. I sent another email, still waiting on a reply.
I have been on poshmark for 6 months now. At first it seemed like the perfect app. I have a lot of items in my closet that I've wanted to sell but never got around to doing through eBay or consigning. Poshmark made it easy. Up until the point I have a buyer saying I didn't send the correct item. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what's wrong. Still haven't heard from poshmark the details, just the general message that they have photos. Well anyone can take a photo of just about anything. But I've maintained a 5 star status up to this point. After I get this issue resolved I'm going back to eBay. It's too much stress for this to be a hobby and way to make money off my own property. They get 20% but only communicate through email or through app messages.
Worst customer service ever. Purchased a pair of shoes that were fraudulently listed and unwearable once I received them. Made a complaint w/photos via the Poshmark app and their joke of a customer service department. Poshmark gave me a measly $5 credit to make up for my $50 purchase with no explanation and PayPal even denied my claim. Will never ever shop with this disgusting site again. Buyers beware, there is NO protection for your purchases and sellers do as they please with no recourse.
Answer: You've got to be smart about shopping online these days. There are scammers wherever you go. That said, if you follow the guidelines and steer clear from trading, which most sites don't condone, then you'll be fine. I've purchased over 100+ items on poshmark and have sold over 90+ with complete success, with the exception of the one time I decided to trade... I've purchased low prices items before and received junk a couple times, but Poshmark ALWAYS refunded me! Maybe I'm super savvy, so here's what I always do: 1. Always checkout the seller's reviews. 2. Always ask if there are any flaws with used items. 3. Always ask if sizing is TTS: "true to size" 4. And most importantly, always ask if it's authentic (unless otherwise specified in the description) These 4 questions have always led me to receiving exactly what I wanted and at half the retail price! Plus, it's so much fun! I've made a considerable amount of income from it, while also adding a nice set of items to my own closet! Good luck out there!
Answer: I have received every item I have ever bought on poshmark. It arrived on time and was in the exact condtion as was promised and how it appeared in the pics.
Answer: Well yes she received the boots and probably didnt like them or they didnt fit etc. she is trying to get her money back by trying to re sell them for 70.00 however she would only get 56.00
Answer: It took a long time, but today Poshmark said they refunded the entire purchase amount plus shipping because the booties I ordered were misrepresented. It took About a month and a half. Two times they offered me small credits toward another Poshmark purchase. I filed a very well documented (12 pages of emails, screen shots of the ad and screen shots of dialogue between me and the seller, Kimology) fraud claim with my credit card company, and I emailed Poshmark's customer service to advise them. Two days later they told me they were refunding my money. We'll see if that happens. Poshmark's customer service is terrible, but persistence paid off. Best of luck to you!
Answer: Ask probing questions: non-smoker? Ever been dry cleaned? How worn is it? Cats? Etc
Answer: I have the total opposite reaction to this question. This mystery group that decides what the outcome will be is ridiculous. You can't talk to anyone, and my last attempt to get support through emails, took one month! Not a fan of learning who the good sellers are by trial and error...
Answer: She probably stalked the other seller's listing and found you commented on the item you purchased. So technically, yes they can see what you buy as long as you commented something on the purchased listing.
Answer: Be careful on posh because they do not have your back. There is a lot of scandalous people on posh. Be careful on ebay as well. I bought a Michael Kors set on ebay that was listed as excellent condition but it was stained and reeked of cigarette smoke. Ebay did not refund my money. They said since it wasn't listed as brand new with tags I was screwed. I was out $315. Who wants a handbag and wallet that smells like shit? I think twice before buying on Ebay since that experience. Shame on the dishonest seller and Ebay for allowing that behavior. Good Luck!
Answer: Have you sent an email to Poshmark support? I have before and they did respond
Answer: You unfortunately cannot return an item if it doesn't fit. It's best to ask the seller the measurements of the item, if they tell you the wrong measurements you can return it. If they will not give you the measurements then don't buy from them. I'm new to selling on Poshmark and I will allow people to return their items if they don't fit because I believe that's what's right, you will find other good sellers!
