Poshmark is a double edged sword where you get the good with the bad. I have purchased about 4 items from various sellers on Poshmark and in each case had good experiences. However, I didn't have retail expectations purchasing used items. My teen daughter wanted a couple of designer handbags and this was a great way to get them for her without investing tons of money on a kid that could possibly lose or damage them.

On the flip side and from a seller standpoint, I'm a little disturbed at the selling practices. I've had brand new shoes, still in the box on Poshmark for a couple of years, priced at dirt cheap, about 4 pair and a pair of Ugg style boots. To be honest, they sat on Poshmark for so long, I forgot I had them on there. I have over 500 boxes of brand new shoes in an empty room in my home, sell them pretty well on Ebay and get a decent price for them. However, with Poshmark, it's completely different. My items sat in my Poshmark closet for a couple of years without so much as an inquiry. I kept getting likes the entire time, but no sales. The listing process was also tedious in just having to use an ipad or phone to take pictures and then sit there and type crap out like you're sending some text message; huge pain.

I finally finished setting up my business sites and decided to really become active on Poshmark, taking the tips and tricks they suggest, share, like, blah, blah. So, I loaded up my closet with brand new inventory, clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc., basically everything I sell in my online sensualshoesandclothingboutique.com and sensualfashionboutique.com sites. I listed my items as retail because they are brand new with the tags, some are my brand, and others are other brands, but regardless, they are all brand new with tags. The biggest let down in that selling process was how much Poshmark charges. I had a sale for shoes that retail at $49, listed it at $20, got offered $15, and cashed out $7.50. I only accepted the offer in an attempt to boost the reputation and hopefully attract more buyers. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Additionally, the time and effort it took to get all my items posted on there was ridiculous. I guess my stuff will sit in my closet for another couple of years until it turns vintage, but in all honesty, nobody has time to list a zillion products in an attempt to get a sale once every couple of years, and certainly not for kibbles and bits on brand new products.

In closing, my products are sitting on Poshmark, if they happen to sell, great, if not, there were no expectations, but I'm not wasting my time any additional time becoming a liking, sharing, addicted fool just to win a popularity contest on a website. I have Facebook for that.

As a seller, this site is a pain in the rear. I own Sensual Shoes & Clothing Boutique and was introduced to Wanelo by my supplier and Shopify, my website host. The only way you can sell on Wanelo is by having a Shopify store. The first couple of days, I got a couple of sales and thought, alright, this might work. However, the sales stopped after luring me in with those few. I have taken all the marketing advice and implemented it, spent countless hours liking, following, etc. and still nothing. I can't figure out how to even organize my products other than this long tedious process of adding to collections or writing some story. My followers stay on the number 10 when in fact I know people have followed me because when going to the alerts, it tells me I received 28 followers in a day. I have purchased from Wanelo as well. My purchase experience has been really good, which is why I'm giving it 2 stars. Wanelo customer service isn't the best and I'm really at my wits end as a seller on the site.
