my poshmark closet disappeared

Fine. Haha yea it happened during mail process? When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. I am very disheartened I spent so much time listing items, repeatedly having to reword my listings due to ridiculous character limits. As a honest seller, they have never had my back and tonight was it for me. So I get my two items returned, and figured, they are NOW scratched and the make-up train I sold her is ruined inside. But I have had 3 files opened up on etsy and they sided with me all 3 times. As for the 20%, it is a small price to pay for traffic. For sellers who have their own businesses, I can TOTALLY understand how PM is just too time consuming and not that rewarding in return. My stuff is beautiful and in perfect condition, many of the things are boutique items, but I never cared for high-end designers stuff and that seems to be all consignment shops cater to and you cant trust THEM either. I do not want to have my items listed on any venue that will not protect its sellers. I am OCD, hyper observant and work i fashion. I just this second deleted my Poshmark account for the second time in five years. Heres how it works: Offer to LikersNotice a lot of likes on a particular item? Sick of it! Xo. I was So angry but took time to ask the seller more questions nicely bc I felt that she couldnt have not known bc the heel heights are so different I took them to the store she purchased from where they told me it was a defect.. I hope you have lots of success! I had a genuine Chanel listing reported and questioned. I have gotten so many direct emails and messages asking me how I left Poshmark and started my own e-commerce business and Ive finally put everything Ive learned into an e-book. (Seller finally makes a response right after, although a very questionable one, again a little more than two and a half weeks have gone by) The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. Once I received notification of the accusation and reply to Poshmark through email and phone, despite my great reputation on the site, I got no response and had the item returned to me. 1. Sorry for all those with negative experience but I appreciate that you shared it. I assumed they meant dont speak to her, which I avoided. And the time involved isnt worth practically giving stuff away! I want to be able to ask the lowest prices possible and this 20% commission would force me to jack up prices in order to make a small profit myself. On poshmark you can opt to receive your money by check, which is something that really attracts my attention. I just started selling on Poshmark and sold one item thus far. I have done really well making a lot of money up until this month. There is NO 100% protection. cute, all black date night leather zip up cute and comfy its called miss selfie, All reasonable offers will be considered. If the scammers are not monitored by the platform we are selling on, then small online shops are not going to able to have success and the platforms will eventually suffer. I try not to get upset about stuff like that but sometimes I do bc in all my listing I clearly State no low-ball offers will be acknowledged so when they do it they deserve to get blocked!! The buyer receives it and a couple days after the tracking says its been delivered, the guy messages me and says its damaged. Blessings to you. Lowball offers on everything, nasty comments, you name it. I had someone leave me 5 stars the other day on Posh but left a somewhat negative love note. Guess what? Apparently these people are only willing to pay $5 for ANYTHING in your closet, whether its an authentic hard-to-find Coach bag or a vintage Versace dress. Another complained the item reeked of cigarette smoke, likely from the box I used as we dont smoke in our house but the box was sitting in our mud room which we sometimes smoke on.

Its super simple to use and youll have much more control over your sales and your earnings. You never know .it might get some traction. Reading this helped me so much. Makes me ill and frustrated i cant do anything. Definitely open to better options! Spent a ton of money on buying them. Maybe it cost them $1 to make! I get some of your issues. I wonder is it worth it? Also, coincidentally, I had a buyer of an authentic Frey Wille bracelet open a case against me. -slow shipper (shipped same day) But then again, who isnt? It seems Poshmark has allowed greed to corrupt their business ethics. Ive only tried to sell through eBay a year ago. The ones on the pics she sent Poshmark seems suspicious because it was all closed up of the item, not one pic of the whole shoe. I have been called every name in the book. If I had an inexpensive small item, I still got charged the $7.95 or whatever even if it really only costs $4.00 to ship. I have been pondering over the idea of whether or not accept the return, but it appears from what I have read here, I might as well fart in the wind. But I understand.d Im not thrilled with the cut that Poshmark wants, or with all the click the following button. Best wishes to you all, and thanks for listing great items. Sold a couple of items and then had the brainstorm HEY! Or know why it would happen? I see that I have active offers, but I dont know how to accept them and how do I get paid? Again, this is exactly why I left Poshmark. They get 30 days to review. I made a nickel off the whole deal & then she gives me a bad review, saying there was a kink in the chain (which we all knows happens) & when she tried to fix it, she broke it. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. It just got to the point where I found myself so frustrated with some of the aspects of the app that I decided to branch out on my own. Thanks for your suggestions of better alternatives to PM! I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. Though I became a member in 2014, I never used the app or looked at the siteI only started selling items this past December, 2017, literally 2.5 months ago. Ugh. There is fraud EVERYWHERE. I just think the market is so saturated that its super hard to get a sale! Ugh Im about to shut it down! No thanks. There are other names for it too - it can be called "Poshmark soft-banned". (3) I made a listing within my closet, never stating her name (1-bc her user name changed frequently) I simply used her stolen pics and showed fellow honest Poshers how to use Veracity. How they monitor thousands of closets is beyond me. Life is too short.

The cost to market my site to get effective sales is also a financial burden. Unfortunately, Ive heard many stories similar to yours. Posh happily accepts my 20% fee and wants us to Share the Love. seriously WTF. Any advice I would appreciate ps great IG page I just started following you. if posh lets her return the item because she seen it cheaper online Im do everything I can to open my own website Im tired of posh turning on and off access to my closet and tired of returns that are new items how can you justify teturbing a new item why cant we leave them a review omg did you notice I used to get all 5 star review noe these. Not that Im satisfied with that and its nowhere close to what I do on eBay, but Ive only been on Posh a short time and have a fraction of the inventory, so no complaints here. Okay, if youre in share jail, keep reading. I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. I had just had a case opened with a bundle I made, everything was good and ready to go. I even scoured the internet and found a phone number. Me and poshmark have a love hate relationship I love the fact that I can make money without all the footwork but the thing I despise is the fact they have full control over my closet. I only do this for high- end items. I deleted it. PoshMark has something for everyone. So, Im done. I feel that I should get some of my money back bc I have defective shoes and poshmark has a guarantee to not sell faulty items since I paid so much for these defective very expensive Louboutins I feel that I should be compensated.. so far as a buyer this website kinda sux .. Im an honest person and buyer and not one thing that I bought on this website was described accurately ( I take that back one pair of pants were fine) but sellers should be honest bc there are good honest buyers like myself who end up with the short end of the stick. Unfortunately I have not received a single package sent with as much care as I send mine. Color coral/dusty rose. It isnt their decision how I manage my business (and therefore my finances). Im slowly building a following and directing traffic to my ShopStylaphile.com through my blog and my social media sites. The only people hurt by the report feature is smaller closets that usually sell authentic goods. After finding this blog, and following this comment section, I was inspired to create Beyond Poshmark: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, If youd like some support, or are looking for alternative selling ideas, please check it out . Irene and Cole, I send in a request in December to become a suggested user and got no response. I felt really and until she started being rude. Poshmark should look at your selling history, there is no way a seller would send an item with holes on it and literary, obviously, used after selling 100 new and high quality/5 start rated items there is no way on earth that we as a seller would do that. Ive read her comments and potential buyers have asked for photos of the actual jacket and some other ?s. Its showing a side of humanity that Im not liking so much. I also use all of my social media accounts to drive traffic and occasionally use AdWords. Sad it has to come to that! Also, really hard to spot bad buyers as sellers cannot leave negative feedback (we used to be able to in the early days)! Best of luck and keep me posted! I also had issues with women on there. I think I am going to dump the app after my last sale gets delivered. I lost money all because of the shipping cost Instead of gaining, i lost.. it wasnt fair.. Not strictly a safe assumption. And I am selling stuff for cheap too but its not moving?? And let me know how it goes! One of my first purchases was for my daughter, when it arrived, I opened it on my deck ( thank god) and there were dead bedbugs all over the tape. It was a pinup dress. So sorry that happened to you. Im easy to find just look anywhere online for Hillarys of Houston, Im the owner. Send them a deal they cant refuse. I was already credited by Poshmark, so this $48.00, rare top was given to me. Thank for your comment Maggie. If you are a new seller and wary and have questions, feel free to email me. I was nice enough to accept the two dresses to be returned, with nothing wrong with them, and she KEPT the free gifts I sent! Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. Too funny, I typed in Poshmark sucks, after receiving a lowball on an expensive item. Seriously? I was honest in my review and stated that the dress was beautiful, but that the description was lacking details that were important to a buyer and I explained in detail what I saw upon receiving the dress. NWT Renuar Relaxed Turtleneck Sweater Black Combo with Stripes. I think some Poshers such as the one that made that remark to me considers doing that is the same as a sale off Poshmark which absolutely isnt. Two of them never shipped. Glad I found your blog, I have been looking for anywhere to type a complaint so that others can be warned. The support group way over exaggerated their sales, and gave young mothers the impression that they could do this and care for children and make 100,000-300,000 a yr. Ive had two situations like this. Ive been doing this long enough to know which stores will likely buy what (every location has a certain taste or vibe or customer its geared towards so I try to go to the right locations for what I have e.g. Trust me, if you dont share your items, your 333,000 followers are not going to go in your closet and make an offer or BUY IT NOW. I do the same thing every time someone opens a case I immediately reply and say I will not accept the return because my listing had clear photos and a description, with measurements, which I show in a screenshot in the reply. Deleted listings. Youre going to be okay. Anyway I can go on. They are all about profit and protecting the scammers within their site. What? And they are wicked. I have been having these same problems ! I checked my closet, and out of the 9 listings I had, only 3 remain. So there are people on poshmark who will bleed you dry if you let them and there are people who will lift you up, dust you off and help you on your way. I had another girl purchase a pair of capris for $4, which were in good condition she opened a case on me. If you try to share items while in share jail, it will keep you in share jail. 136 95 r/BehindTheClosetDoor Join 9 days ago I dont mind if she changed her mind, gave it away, etc But nothing. Agree with you completely! Ive also had some open cases, 2 favored the buyer and 3 favored me, because as you stated I describe the item great and they still can come up with a lame excuse and say they dont want it. Later, Alexandria. She writes about business, culture, and technology for Insider. Id love to know how to set up a Shopify store! I always check items very carefully before listing, If I noticed anything wrong with it I wouldnt of listed. And I did. As a few other people have said, I have been on pins and needless for a few days over a profit of $16, which makes me disappointed in myself for letting this get to me. I quit because of all of the points you noted with the primary issue being horrid customer support. Probably not a bad Seller, but potential, serious Buyers, be aware that this Seller may flippantly cancel your order with no response to cause of cancellation. Hmmm! Its always heartening to see new folks finding it . I was not expecting to make a lot of money, just enough to get by as i am unemployed and my mom has had to help me get by. I automatically became a posh ambassador a few weeks ago. Trying to figure out all the steps I need to take. Omg! It may be slow but I kind of like the process of it all, you know? Is this new? With eBay, Im having a similar experience, but Im still dealing with it and need some advice. I myself been with them from the beginning. I cant say that I am leery of those buying who dont have a profile the reason is that Posh has made it difficult for someone who just wants to shop and not sell. Thanks for the comment! Hi @thetokensoul. How to know if youre in Poshmark share jail. Anyway, only in a real store you get to send them to the bad customer file of the credit card companies to ban them from buying stuff from any store. Tradesy sets limits on offers, so you never have to worry about lowballers. eek..i have only bought things on Posh and I have only bought things that I absolutely recognized as authentic from web sites, catalogs or stores. Well, that is all well and good for you, but there are people who *do* want to make real money. You cannot say anything in response to this, as its against Poshmark Ettiquette Rules!! I always wonder where people get the time to have 1 million shares. I found it incredibly frustrating to put so much effort into photographing items that buyers wanted to lowball. I was hit by harvey and am trying to attend college. Ugh frustrating but not losing hope! I am just selling stuff from my closet that I cant fit in anymore, I have a ton of clothes & shoes and wanted to see if I could make a little cash off them. Some of them Ive been told by high-sales sellers (upwards of $50k per month). Step 2, who will I buy wholesale from? They are getting just as bad. Ill suck it up. They are to savvy to purchase on Posh!! Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. I am bit reluctant on these fees for posh foe just pointing the shipping label (shipping is still paid by buyer or seller). I have shared to FB, I bought a mannequin to make my pics more professional. And if you want to open up your own online store in the future, start building your social media following now. Im with mdbd Feb. 24, 2022. Im very sorry that happened to you. The jar was 3/4 full. The buyer gets them, never contacts me, but instead files a case and says theyre fake! People are picky and dont read descriptions and change their minds constantly and return things they shouldnt and push limits. You are right about some sellers not including enough info. I now only sell high value items on my own site or through Tradesy, as Tradesy handles all returns and you dont have to worry about getting scammed. The shoes were only worn once, and I had pics of everything. I could not agree with you more!!! I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. She had told me that if I wanted the $5 off, I should have made an offer for the bundle that reflected that!). Youre better off selling on eBay or Tradesy, where there is a bit more protection. My first four sales were all shipped within one day and I received 5 star ratings for all of them. I appreciate your thoughts here. Like eBay and PM are platforms that people go on to shop, but how can I get my online store in front of potential customers? Costly? I dont buy items to resale, everything is from my closet and most all still have tags attached, never used, or if so, maybe once. Thank you . People suck! My account was locked again, and I was told it wouldnt be reinstated. So I resold it on Posh and got rid of it the same night! I never bothered to fight that it just wasnt worth my time and the stress. Ive reported the issue to the BBB. Thank you so much, Wow! This is because they realized there was NO $$$ in providing customer service. How do you advertise your site, or give it visibility to the market you are targeting? I shipped it. But I like you missed the social aspect, I had regular buyers that I had became friends with. Never again mercari. PS: When I first started on PM, customer service was good. I realize for a well-written description, a slew of questions is less necessary. So now Im out the item AND the money. At first I was marking items at what I expected to receive, which was already hugely discounted from what I paid. I think its around $50 for a booth rental on weekends and like $250 for an enclosure for the month but its been a while since I have been out there so prices might have changed. Poshmark closet disappeared? Also selling high end purses and such like this is a huge big no no in my opinion Bc people just want to get stuff free. I only sell new items for a reason so i dont have all the issues that i have read on this posting. I had a brand new dr scholls flat for $8 and this Lowballers offered me 5! I wish I would have known that sooner. Someone told me how well they were doing and said I should give it a try. I sold her two UD sprays, a Too Faced palette that I had used and decided I didnt want, and a Kat Von D blush Id found at TJ Maxx. If you have vintage, those items seem to sale faster there. I had someone bundle 3 items which totaled $30 and offered me $6!! Although when I replied I didnt contact them though customer service email, there is a drop down on the sales page that allows you to access the original case and the email goes to the investigator. I agree with you unless it comes to high end, in-demand and hard-to-find designer items. Hope everyone finds their happy spot. Augh I feel your pain. I wonder if Poshmark shadow bans certain sellers? I just know with bad experiences its definitely easy to give up. Thanks Sydney. I just opened my closet on Poshmark exactly 2 1/2 months ago and although Im doing great, I feel like if I do step away from the shares and the parties etc that my sales also decline as well. I had 32 listings on poshmark and they all disappeared at the same time.
