If I may, I am going to make three different posts, asking for authentication of three items removed by PoshMark because they were reported fake, and my account has been suspended as a result. I can not post the links to anything because everything has been wiped out pending review of my appeal, that is what I am trying to do.
One of the items was ID in this forum and no mention of fake was made, because it was authentic.

My previous inquiry about the Mini Skinny
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-questions-here.355205/page-943#post-33408423
The Waverly wristlet I found on my own in this forum,
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...he-upcoming-line.528210/page-46#post-13494155
The Stitched Totes I didn't have authenticated, I was sure that they were authentic. They are identical but only one was reported, I do not know which one.

Thanks in advance, I will be the first to apologize to PM if they are right.

I am SOOOOOO sorry for you!

And this is precisely part of the reason why I'm so adamant about recommending against Poshmark and why I (usually) refuse to comment on authenticity request when listings are posted there.

I've even said that there are honest sellers of authentic items but because of Poshmark's way of doing business, I find the site to be a turnoff and dangerous!

Not only does PM rarely (in my experience) respond to reports of fakes nor do they remove them, they also refuse to respond (appropriately) to buyer disputes after those buyers have received fakes. And even when evidence of the multiple reasons items are fake are submitted, their "experts" aren't knowledgeable enough to understand why items are fake.

(Oh, and many of their "poshmark ambassadors" list fakes! Knowingly or not, those members who are supposed to have a reputation for honesty and integrity often have neither.)

And to compound their incompetence, they also ban and/or suspend honest members, either members who try to help with authentications prior to sales and purchases and they ban and suspend honest sellers with authentic items because again, they don't know the difference!

All your items are authentic and perhaps if Poshmark's admin would be directed here, they might consider getting some REAL experts on their staff.

I'm sorry for my rant but this has gone on for too long and happens too frequently.

Hi... I’m new to the forum. Can you explain how to post to the feed as opposed to replying to individuals? If you don’t mind of course.

I'm not sure what type of device you're using but to post to a thread on my tablet I just scroll to the bottom of the page and type what I want to say in the text box above the "Post Reply" button, then I click that button.

Hi, all. I don't know if anyone has ever read this article I just recently found online. It's called The Coach Screed. It's a pretty scathing rebuke of the way Coach has devolved into the mass production of products as far removed as one could get from the original intent of the founders of Coach. It provides a lot of background to the brand, the origins of the leather they use, etc. It's not a short read, give yourself a couple of hours, but it's very interesting and eye opening (at least for me). The writer does get on their political soapbox toward the end but I really enjoyed it.

It took me several days to read but it was very informative.
