I get a lot of traffic to my ShopStylaphile site through my blog, Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram accounts. What a joke! Posh customer service is wishy washy coming to what they accept to return or refund. Zero protection for the seller! Stylaphile I am done with Posh too because Posh ALWAYS sides with the buyer and there are NO seller protections!! One of my tricks to protect myself is I use a tyvek wrist band with my store name written on it using a permanent marker and string it around the tag loop of your garment to protect the authenticity in case a return is file. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake! Thats making a decision about your life and thats awesome. However they no longer respond to my emails. Especially when the buyer purposely ruins an item and Posh rules in their favor. If youre an advanced posher, and youve been locked up in Poshmark share jail before, I have some secrets from you.

He was sadly a victim of the great Ebay Purge they did in 2013 despite top reviews and power seller status. Another was a brand new rose gold watch she got next to nothing!! A punitive feedback system totally biased towards the buyer. I just quit Poshmark for the SAME reason. They could side with you or the buyer. Plus there is incredible lack of insight and common sense among sellers & buyers. Here a pop-up window may ask you for a verification code sent to your email address or phone number. I have many complaints about poshmark, but lowballing for $7 shipping doesnt make sense(?!). Goodbye to my consideration for Suggested user now for another few months. If you have any ideas as to whether or not anything can be done, I would greatly appreciate it. I tell people to look on line to see if they can buy the BRAND NWT top Im selling that is currently in stores and in style for less? I cant deal with such people.

I just bought, after 9 months on Poshmark selling actual high quality Branded clothing, one of the Boutique items Poshmark sells to Poshers through their wholesale option. It took me a month to get it back up. It saves you a ton of time and helps you make more sales on Poshmark. There are apps out there that are truly personal, do treat sellers well, aside from opening own sites. Since then, I have SO many new followers everyday. Why I decided to leave was I sold a brand new name brand mens sweatshirt with tags, the buyers received it and filed a claim saying it was filthy dirty and no tags and I was trying to scam her!

Deleting a Poshmark account is fairly similar on both the mobile app and on the web. SKU Add a unique code to each listing to easily stay on top of your inventory.

Same name? PoshMark looked in my closet which iive been told looks very professional; her closet (40 items had low end teenage crap (red flag). It has been pending since August 17th. Thank you sharing this! Done selling!! Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. What I like about Posh is that it has mostly clothing items, and frequently if I want something from a previous season, or another color of something I have and like, I can get it on Posh. I found it incredibly frustrating to put so much effort into photographing items that buyers wanted to lowball. I havent been on Posh very long, only sold 13 items. I take pictures of all the alterations on items if any, and any wear and tear, such as the fraying on the bottom of jeans. I would never sell a dirty jacket; Im not that stupid.

Probably no more than $15 dollars. I myself been with them from the beginning. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. I believe many of these problems could be fixed with genuine concern in the form of superior customer service. Just wanted to see if anyone would know about this. As a honest seller, they have never had my back and tonight was it for me. Expecting no problem, when I went to print out the shipping label, THEN Poshmark gives you grief with their idiotic verification process (why they dont do this BEFORE a new Seller posts stuff is beyond me).

They do CCO and other opportunities that are NOT opportunities, its how posh makes more money, not us so dont fool yourself. Do a search on a LV or Gucci bag and you will find thousands of counterfeits, both illegal and against Poshmark documented policy. When Poshmark stated that I could get a refund, I responded that I wanted the item and not a refund. I have no idea where else to sell it though I know you recommend Ebay but are there any easy alternatives which have more, appropriate, seller protection?

I sell on etsy, ebay (the worst) , tradesey, and have my own shop. Havent heard of it (must be my age)! Im pretty much over Poshmark myself. 90% of them post one little photo of a piece of clothing, just the top usually, NO OTHER PHOTOS, no measurements, no condition information. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. I video tape every single item as I am packing it for shipment to document the condition. I am quitting at the end of the month. Then you can state your side, they state theirs and photos are exchanged. She gave me a 3 star rating, now shes reposhing it for 5 times more than she paid for each item. But if this continues to happen then I will have to find some other venue to self. As well as two other resellers I know. To change your password: In the app Go to your Account Tab (@username).

If you want to avoid share jail and avoid CAPTCHAs, keep your shares under 4000 in a single day. All $3, $4, and $5 items must be bundled. In the return screen I contact Posh stating I got a damaged return (now unusable/sellable) and hear crickets. I was nice at first and pointed out that #1- I am listing a ton of NWT stuff well be low retail and even wholesale prices, not making money on a lot of things. I shared the receipt with PM since it has private contact info on it and asked the buyer to contact them directly to return, but she keeps posting comments. I really need to cancel it because I made a mistake in ordering. I always go into the Post office and get a receipt, then I have proof of shipment. These are the people you rush to the post office for so you can get their item delivered ASAP, but thenonce they get it, they dont even bother tomark it as received. These scammers really make you lose faith in humanity! I couldnt believe how she could claim that when I try to be as detailed and accurate with my photos and descriptions. I am beyond livid. If the gray Shared Successfully banner pops up, then youre not in share jail. Beware of Ebay! The item sold and once received, the buyer opened a claim stating odor and damage that wasnt describedand attached a partial pic of a logo bag with a hole in it! If we keep notifying them of their weaknesses they more than likely will adapt and change to become a better business. It is beyond insulting and other things I wont say on here!! Thanks for all the great insight and perspectives. I took all my items (some cost $495.00 NWTs to my neighbor). but maybe Im wrong. This is when they still owned Paypal. Poshmark puts closets in share jail so people cant spam the platform with massive amounts of sharing.

I now have 399,568 users and I am a top rated seller however, the sales have dropped significantly and the buyers have become more and more rude and downright nasty. I like many others found after looking for info on returns on Poshmark as I just got my first big dollar return. I love poshmark, but I have found the people on there to be very rude and hurtful. Kaitlyn I am so sorry for you. I sent them multiple pictures. Thank you so much for posting this article. Wow, I am so sorry this happened to you! I am so sorry that happened to you as well. CSV.
