I bought a purse that was advertised as Ralph Lauren and leather. It was neither. I showed the purse to two local retailers who sell Ralph Lauren and they both confirmed in a written letter that it was indeed counterfeit. I submitted these letters, along with photos of the obvious fake purse, to Poshmark, but they still refused to refund my money. This whole process took a good month, mind you, since it takes them 2 days to respond to an email and there is no phone support. Luckily, I bought the purse with a credit card, so I filed a dispute through the credit card company and got my refund that way.
I ordered a MAC lipstick, didn't know what exactly poshmark was. I received a USED lipstick, grosssss! How unhygienic not to mention it was not cheaper, they charged me $6.75.to send a half used grubby looking lipstick. How can they even consider selling used lipsticks.?
I just feel the need to be appropriately fair. I eventually received the dress - weeks too late for my event. However,,, the dress was as stated. Beautiful
And I can wear it to another event- so in the big picture ( I just went thru a hurricane) I can deal with not getting the dress on time. I have used this site again and again since my bad review and had all good experiences. I guess when you run a business depending on other people to get it "right" - things will go wrong. I'm happy with my purchase.
But be like Amazon and get rid of scammer or idiot sellers. This girl I bought dress from shipped my dress to another buyer and a bra to me.
Bye girl
She doesn't have a brain so get rid of her. The dress was for 2 weeks ago still waiting. I have not shipped bra yet because of Irma. But seriously why has this become my problem.
Kick her to the curb. I guess Amazon and eBay are for smart people
I am a seller on Poshmark. I list all items. I list all sizes, all measurements. The material of the item. I disclose everything. And I post a lot of pictures I answer all questions also. I have nothing to hide. I am not happy with the commission they get, or the price of shipping. I myself do not buy a lot because of the shipping fees! I do have a 5-star rating and only had one return because the buyer did not read that I did state the boots run narrow. I was not happy. They received their money back plus was able to keep the boots. This was unfair.The boots were also brand new, never worn. The reason why I was selling is because I had a stroke and could longer wear heels. Customer service could be better if they hired more people. This goes to the top and letting go of some profits. I also do not like the same generated letter that customer service sends when help is needed. And when they do answer, its past the time allowed for shipping or other seller concerns. I also post pictures of my shipping process. I wrap all items like a gift, along with card of thanks. I do see lots of replicas, and items that I cant believe some people sell. The clothing is dirty and I never buy shoes that I can see dirty footprints. I would never sell items like this. I wash all items and iron if needed. All I can say is ask a lot of questions and ask for more pictures. If the seller doesn't respond, I would not buy. I am also on my site everybody, and I monitor a lot of buyers for scamming.
It is a horrible place for sellers, not to say you can find good deals but not everyone's complaints are treated the same, their customer service sucks and they never loose, I sold a tunic top down to $3, it had been worned twice, not the most expensive nor designer piece of clothing but it was cleaned and pretty, Poshmark made $2.95, i went through all the shiping and packaging the item to their standards and made a woping $. 05, yes that is right. Don't waste your time thinking you will be treated fairly, I tried to return a pair of shoes that did not fit properly, poor material and hurt a lot, not all the information about the shoes was disclosed, I tried to return them, they were not a brand name, just cheap wallmart plastic shoes, but they would not allow me to return them, so I lost $20 and gained a pair of lousy shoes... BE carefull. Customer service is non existant in POSHMARK and consumer rights are not the same for everyone.
I purchased a supposedly new sweater and it arrived in an shrunken unwearable state. When I complained, my member privileges were blocked without warning. I contacted the site and the response was that I had been warned multiple times. I never received an email and asked the company to provide the emails they supposedly sent. I never heard back. This company stands behind it's scammer clientele and does care nor protect the consumer. I have used Ebay for over 10 years and never had any issues. Do yourself a favor and purchase from a reputable site. Not one who couldn't care less about a college student losing out on almost $65.
You purchase; they charge your card and then you wait and wait and wait. The seller has not responded since the purchase. Customer Service tells me how to respond online to get my money back (which will take a several days). I am not even sure if they products they are offering even still exist. One of the worse buying experiences ever. AVOID!
Absolutely no seller protection. Buyers can scam left and right and poshmark will do nothing to protect the sellers. High fees and no protection make this an awful selling platform.
This is the most anti-seller site in existence! Besides the 20% fees which is expensive, it allows the customer to be paid a refund without returning the merch! If a customer files a complaint, the seller has no access to the proof of which they are complaining so the buyer can say anything. Poshmark refunds the buyer out of the sellers account before they even get the return so you have to cross your fingers you get it back!
If there was a ZERO rating, I would have chosen that instead of a 1 rating. Thought I was ordering a men's LARGE polo shirt, but instead was a women's LARGE... and Poshmark would not allow me to return it.
Ordered boots canceled and never recieved my refund.The money was never restored back into my paypal account while the order was canceled. Reached out to poshmark and they never answered, only recieved an automated email, no directive or help. Never again.
Bought some boots and they were junk obviously worn before and just junk. They won't let me return for a refund. Fifty dollars. Might as well have thrown the money out the window Don't use then
Many item discriptions are misleading. Sellers are allowed to post as a certain size, even if the actual size is different. Bought one size and received another. Told I would not receive a refund.
It's a pretty awesome site, it's not perfect but it's one of the better selling apps out there. I don't like that the shipping is so expensive or the 20% sellers fee makes low offers impossible to make money on. The low ball offers can be bad to they should have a cap that it can't have an offer less than 30% off asking price. A buyer making an offer for 3.00 nets the seller a nickel. I also don't like how people bundle items with no intention of ever buying in the first place, and I absolutely hate all the stock photos and photos from the Internet it's actually illegal and copyright infringement but so many do it and nothing is ever done about it same as inspired by or mislabeling the brands for more views. Overall you can make money on this site but you have to invest time you get sales by following sharing and being active if you do none of these things you won't see sales. But for me it's better than mercari vinted or eBay. Just use caution and respect as both a buyer and seller. If you want a quick buck this isn't for you.
I love everything about this site down to the color of the brand. But one thing that I hate? Not only are they taking 30% of what I'll earn but $6.50 for shipping on everything? A little thing such as Earrings shouldn't cost that much to ship
Shame on you Poshmark for NOT enforcing your published policies.

Wake up Poshmark. Stand behind and enforce your Policies in Print.
YOUR RULES/POLICIES SHOULD APPLY TO ALL SELLERS!
Shipping rates of $6.95 on a $5 or $10 item turns me off. I won't buy it. And when they offer discounted shipping it is usually at a time of day that is impossible to take advantage of it!
There to proud of there site and a 20% sellers fee screws the whole site. Who ever is the head boss of this site is a greedy s of a beach.
You cannot trust sellers. They don't police sellersfor inactivity ( I made offer never responded, seller has been inactive for months but has like 14 items for sale); also had seller sell me item then cancel it saying she can't find the item. Ridiculous. Poshmark responded saying buyer should look at dates when seller last did something?/! Lame. They really cannot be trusted. Plus seller has 7 days to ship while they are holding charge on your credit card. That's a scam... Ebay requires seller to ship in 2 business days!
Some sellers are honest and send you items quickly. There are fake designer items and some items you don't receive. I believe they sell your items to people that offer them more $$$ I am deleting my account with them. Not satisfied with my experience
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!
Poshmark is the #1 place to buy and sell fashion. Shop millions of closets across America? And sell yours too!
