I bought a hand cream. I liked the product. The delivery was quick. The description was correct. I am very happy about the delivery and service.

Top Critical Review

“Return policies are meant to protect sellers of improper/defective items”

F T.
2/4/24

I purchased a men's sports jersey as a gift but we did not discover it was a woman's jersey until the recipient opened several weeks later. However, even though I notified Poshmark within minutes of discovering the problem, they denied all claims and stated the item was correct. So any deceit by the seller is acceptable by Poshmark, even it isn't obvious, unless you discover it immediately. Placing all of the responsibility on the buyer despite the clear mistake/fraud of the seller is the wrong way to do business.

I have been with Poshmark for over four years. The live shows are new. When you open the Poshmark app, you could get right into a live show or auction. Without your permission or authorization, you could get trapped into a purchase. I woke up to auction purchase this morning. I tried to contact both *******@4mycloset and she disabled the conversation. When I contacted Posh Support, they said all auctions are binding. That was absolutely awful! I HIGHLY advise never using Poshmark!

I've had very mixed feelings with purchases from Poshmark. A few successes and lots of fails.

Items are often misrepresented in terms of condition or issues/damage. Some sellers so grossly overestimate the value of items or overprice items that can be found cheaper online on sale (which goes against Poshmark's alleged price gouging policy).

Items can be shipped late (or not at all), and it can be hard to know when things will arrive. I have had a few items arrive when out of town (on trips booked in advance), and then when items were not as described, been out of luck since you get 72 hrs to dispute an item.

Poshmark takes a hefty cut (20%), so you have to take that into consideration when selling through them. Buyers can send you ridiculous low ball offers with no way to filter them out like you can on ebay. I do find that some buyers have unreasonable standards when purchasing - and they sometimes don't read the actual information in the listing - which also wastes time. I usually price competitively on Poshmark just to liquidate, but even still, buyers often expect used items to be brand new but not willing to pay more than a quarter or fifth of the price or gripe if there's the tiniest speck of dust or something from storage (I am a detail-oriented person, but some buyers can get OVERLY pedantic). It's honestly a waste of my time to sell on this platform once I deal with the repetitive questions, high seller fees, and crazy karens.

Customer service is often not helpful or willing to look at issues on a case by case basis and reverts to their limiting policies when items are not as described or are misrepresented. Overall, it's a real gamble both as a buyer and seller, and it can be really time consuming to be either.

I think I've finally wasted enough time and money with them.

I made my first purchase on Poshmark, a pair of Brighton shoes. The seller did not disclose that the instep was abnormally narrow. When I received the shoes, they did not fit well and I wear Brighton all the time. I tried to return but Poshmark and the seller refused. Poshmark no longer responded and I'm stuck with a pair of shoes that does not fit. Terrible experience!

Abysmal customer service. Dishonest and rude. Sold me some scarves listed as silk but were polyester. They refused to cancel or accept a return despite being sold under a blatant lie. When I filed a complaint, they deleted my account with several orders still actively processing. Unbelievable. Zero accountability. The absolute worst. Wish I could leave zero stars. DO NOT TRUST THEM

First the listing was deceiving thought I was buying two but actually one set of Xmas pjs for my dd on the 12th and seller has not responded to one message or shipped and Poshmark won't do one thing! You would think if the seller doesn't respond in at least 5 days Poshmark will cancel order but no they won't. So I'm out $55 Christmas pjs. I didn't have enough time to find matching so she is going to be the odd man out. So frustrating and Poshmark messages I swear are automated so there is no point even writing them! Will never purchase from them again!

Tip for consumers:
Just that Poshmark is non existent and they will not help no matter what the circumstances. Also they just decide to stop writing after two messages

I ordered a purse and it did not come based on what the picture showed. It was misrepresented. That's a dishonest sales tactic. I ask to return but they would not allow me to return after sending a pic showing what the product should have looked like. It was missing the emblem when I received purse. Do not purchase from this site. They do not stand behind their guarantee for return if product is misrepresented. When received purse was missing emblem as shown in pic by seller.

My first time ordering from Poshmark. I purchased a pair of sneakers with Paypal. The sneakers were extremely narrow and too small for me. I contacted the seller regarding a refund. Seller advised unable to assist and directed me to reach out to customer support. I did just that. Several messages to customer support with NO reply. $70+ dollar purchase for nothing. I am still unaware of their actual return policy. I will never use Poshmark again. Buyer beware. My experience was awful.

Place an order get it confirmed. They set item price they set shipping price then they reneg on item bought stating shipping costs. They set the shipping cost not me. If they under estimated cost of shipping it is on them. Their mistake not mine. They refund so they can make more money reselling.they take no responsibility for their mistake. They accepted payment then arbitrarily refund. What about my loss of use of my funds. What about their legal liability to delivery goods paid for.

There is no way to directly message someone. When you put a message up it's for everyone. While I'm waiting on the seller to message me back the next day someone buys it because she dropped the outfit down for me. I didn't even know. This is useless and a waste of time especially when you don't have another one available. I'm having to lose out because of poshmark's notification system.

Shortly after buying boots, one sole came off, but they wouldn't refund me because it didn't break immediately. It automatically "accepted" my purchase for me, then they refused to refund me because I didn't respond in time. The boot appears on the inside of the sole to have been poorly glued back together. Just awful. $150 for garbage.

If I sell a item on poshmark but depending on the time or day I sold it and I need to send it the next business day I can not use the first shipping label that Pm send me because it will say the date I sold it. It needs to say the same date that I'm going to send the package. The post office don't want to accept the package if the label has yesterday's date. So if you just want to reprint the shipping label to tell the date of the day you're going to send it go into your Pm account select the order you want to ship and press the one that says label expired if you just want to change the date. Thanks

We bought two purple Kashmira blow out brushes this year. When the first one we bought in March died, we bought another in October. It also just died 2 months later. A warranty of 7 days from Kashmira or 3 from Poshmark, who we bought it from, is insufficient. I strongly recommend you use Amazon if you feel you must have this product. We have moved on to another manufacture and seller after wasting a few hundred bucks this year with Kashmira and Poshmark. Poshmark deserves it low rating.

"WEAR" can you start. Yep; I received a completely worn (in the sole) pair of purportedly new Nike sneakers. Should have known better; but it does get better. The Poshmark "crew" informed me that my photo depicting this debacle was not conclusive evidence. Thus; best of luck in the future. Well; the same to you at Poshmark and the "seller/thief" by the name of "@premierfinds"...

I was not 100% satisfied with a purchase and Poshmark refused to refund-I created a case thru Paypal and now I'm blocked frm buying.

Worst business model! Waste of time when you get something that is misrepresented in pics! No response from customer service other than an automated message! Such a disappointment!

I was setup for disappointment from the seller to the establishment representing customer service. During the time of purchase to the final day being forced to cancel was saddening. Several messages were sent to seller requesting tracking information for days without a response. Over a week later I received an email stating it was shipped but PM showed on website still no tracking information. Seller sent an email informing that he'd look into it but never a follow up and proceeded to call me being rude. I stated only that being direct, asking for information in a timely manner was all that's awaited. Several attempts contacting Customer service was unsuccessful also. Every response was an automated email stating someone would contact me but if I felt a refund is warranted after seven days if not received. I waited patiently for the intended gift to arrive in the new year but nothing so it was cancelled. I requested another response from CS about my refund and expressed my disappointment. Embarrassed about what I had experienced and expect an immediate refund.

This site attracts all kind of scammers. With non-existing customer support stealing is very easy. People loosing money and no one going to help. I guess they what you to deal with your credit card company if you want to claim wrong/defected item. This site charge 20% selling fee and offer no support whatsoever? Cant imagine this online scam was not shout down by authorities.

I used poshmark for years. They get worse and more greedy all the time. In addition to the 20% cut they already take from each sale, now they have "promoted closets", which is just another way from them to screw over sellers. With promoted listings, you pay every time someone clicks on your listing. Not every sale, but every click. This is ridiculous. Also 20% is already a very large cut, but now they want to be paid every time someone just looks at your listing. It seems they never tire of looking for ways to hurt sellers.

POSHMARK is Very Good at ONE THING = Not telling you about ALL the Conditions & Restrictions that surround a "problem purchase" = Dirty, Stained & Discolored clothing being described as "Excellent Condition", that you DON'T find out about until AFTER you purchase then, having to WASTE even more TIME responding to & getting "jacked around" by One person after Another, including a Seller that thinks NOT getting caught in a LIE is the Same as telling the TRUTH!

Ordered a grateful dead clock from them and it was broken. Contacted seller who said he'd refund me if I sent a picture. I did and he never answered my emails again. Tried to get money back through paypal who told me to return it so I did. I gave them the wrong tracking number accidentally and now Poshmark is telling me too much time has passed. So now they have the broken clock and my money. I will never order from them again and I will discourage anyone else from ordering from them. The negative reviews are correct here folks. They are scammers.
