Can someone tell me what love notes are & how to check a seller's feedback on this site? I've looked but must missing something.

Love Notes are comments a buyer makes when giving a 5 star rating. You can't see any other feedback which is the biggest problem with the app/site, really. You can see a seller's average ship time on their "About" section and how many listings they have and sometimes people will comment on already sold listings in their closet because once you sell something, you can't delete it so those comments are permanent.

I've had pretty good experiences across the board though, because a seller can't get paid unless the buyer gets the item and accepts it as correct and as described, so I've never had empty box issues or anything not sent (if they never ship, you can cancel the order after 7 days). If you buy something for over $500 Posh has your back with a second look at everything to make sure it's as described and it's authentic, too.

My issue with Poshmark is that they NEVER remove fakes, have no way to give detailed descriptions of why items are fake and the fact that many of these items are sold tells me that buyers wouldn't know to report as "not described" because if they knew, they wouldn't have purchased in the first place. (The pictures show obvious fakes.)

Do you have to follow a seller to see their "About" section?

I don't disagree. I try to say something any time I see them and know it's a fake. Yesterday there was one for $500 listed as an authentic Louis Vuitton Artsy and I asked for more pictures before I saw the pattern was off and the stitching was crooked, at which point I said "I just noticed the pattern is a little off. Is this not authentic? If it's not, it won't pass Posh Concierge, just so you know." Seller still swore up and down that it was real and it sold not 10 minutes later for the $500 so I guess Posh will just reject it in a few days. Oy.

There's nothing that gets me more annoyed than sellers insistent that their item is real when it clearly isn't. It actually boils my blood even more on Mercari because on Mercari a seller can delete comments so there'll be some terrible fake with cheap suede lining and crooked stitching and plastic handles with 15 deleted comments on it from everyone telling them it's fake with the seller still swearing up and down it's real.

No, but actually I just pulled up Posh on the web and I don't see it anywhere. It's in app for sure but I don't know where it'd be on the web. I guess that's the problem with something that was developed as an app and only brought to the web as an afterthought - stuff is missing.

That's what it is...I'm on my laptop. I'll check the app on my phone. It can be really aggravating & time consuming to research going between the web & the phone. Thanks for the info. I have a friend who has asked me to check out some items for her & this info will save me some time. I have always found Posh to be difficult to navigate. It's definitely lacking in a lot of aspects for sellers & for buyers.

Oh, and, low balling is still rampant but I don't sell anything designer anyway. I've sold a couple pairs of Converse and a Victoria's Secret sports bra I accidentally ordered in the wrong size and missed the window to return, NBD. On one of the pairs of Converse that I had listed for $35, someone came in with $20 as an offer (which isn't as bad as $5 for an authentic Neverfull or something, but it was still close to half what I listed it for). I was never going to wear them anyway but I countered back at $25 and she countered again at $24. You just GOTTA get that good deal, girl!! I was laughing about haggling over a dollar.

I accepted though, I needed them out of my closet anyway, they were taking up space.

I'm going to list some more of my NWOT shoes that I impulse bought, though. May as well get a little money back. Maybe I'll find another stellar deal on something high end and authentic.

I don't think I'm gutsy enough to list any of my designer stuff. The only problem with my closet being mostly $30-$50 items is people think I don't know what I'm talking about when I call out fakes.

I recently listed a pair of Chanel single sole espadrilles for $300. Worn about a dozen times but uncomfortable as hell. I listed low for a quick sale thinking I'd have no issues moving them at that price. The low offers I received were a joke. 24 hours in, I requested a quote from Fashionphile and received more for a buyout than what I listed them for on PM. They sold on FP in a matter of minutes for $550.

I swear some of those buyers want things basically for free.

Oh I know, almost everything I've posted for sale has gotten at least one offer for half my list price or less. Sometimes I'll counter back with a reasonable price but most of the time I just decline low balls.

I still haven't sold anything designer but no, "Hun", I'm not selling my NWT shoes listed at $40 for $5.

I reopened my poshmark account because I had a Coach bag I wanted to sell and knew I wouldn't be able to sell it on Tradesy or consignment successfully. Someone bought it and didn't give me any grief! woohoo!!!

Of course, the person before her also wanted my bag, but for $10. Like I'm going to sell you an all leather bag for $10. Ugh. After I declined it, she "countered" with $13, as if that was any better. :mad:

I swear, I never deal with any insulting offers on Tradesy; usually people just outright buy my stuff. Why is Poshmark a magnet for people who think it's ok to offer an insanely low buy out price?!

Just curious....why wouldn't you have been able to sell on Tradesy?

It's harder for me to sell Coach on there. I've had better luck selling my LVs. Coach goes quickly on Poshmark, despite the annoying lowballers.

Similarly, I do not bother listing LV on poshmark because it is harder for me to sell on there. People basically want a stupidly cheap price on a high end bag. Whereas I usually get a good price on Tradesy, no questions or negotiations needed.

Something that had never happened to me before... I ordered two high-end blushes (Illamasqua) from someone on Poshmark on Friday. Both blushes looked almost new and intact. When I received them yesterday, one was a powdery mess (it broke in two places), which most likely happened during transport. However, both blushes smelled strongly of perfume (like they had been sprayed directly on the powder itself) with a faint smell of cigarette too. When I received them, instead of "Accepting" them (as described), I let Poshmark know that one was broken and sent photos of it. I also informed them of the odor because, quite honestly, I have very sensitive skin and go out of my way to avoid fragranced products on my face (not to mention cigarette odor is unappealing as well). So they are 'reviewing' my case, and when I tried to inform the seller, I found that she blocked me!!! WTH! Why would she block me? I didn't do anything wrong. Has anyone ever had this happen?

Some sellers get really fussy if you open a case about an order, so it could be that. Other sellers may know that they sent you something crummy and will block you to attempt to keep you from going on blast on their listings.

I'm so sorry this happened but any reasonable seller would allow you to explain yourself (in your case, half of your issue is likely transport damage anyway which isn't necessarily the seller's fault). The fact that this seller isn't letting you tell her what went wrong sounds like she knew something was up.
