I don't think Poshmark sellers have the authority to accept returns. I believe you have to do it by reporting a problem to Poshmark. Don't accept the purchase!

ETA: I would keep my complaint simple. "Hardware color is silver, not gold as described. Large pen mark not pictured in listing."
Ooooh I'm sure you're right. Another first for me, initiating a Poshmark return. She hasn't responded to my message yet. Hope that's not a bad sign. I was hoping she'd understand and be ok with it.

Don't worry if she's ok with it - Poshmark will make the determination. I would be clear and concise like suggested and also add the color is not sunflower as another reason, explaining that sunflower had gold hardware, which is what you thought you were getting. As a buyer, I've only had a couple returns and I've had good luck when I just stick to the facts of why the listing wasn't described accurately. To start the process, just be sure to select "problem with order" instead of accepting it. Once you accept, that's it.

OK thanks for the tip. I'm doing it now. I wonder should I upload a photo of the ink mark as it gives me an option to do?
 
I’m wondering if you could give your opinion on this one. I know it doesn’t have a full creed (the seller has been unresponsive), but I’m hoping it’s a 2004 blue Janice from Costa Rica (that’s burnished? I hope this still means dunking it will be okay). I mainly bit the bullet because it’s from Costa Rica, even though I know you guys just found your first fake from there recently. I just wanted to see if there are glaring red flags to be able to cancel before it ships. If this doesn’t fully meet the rules, please just ignore this request. Thank you so much!

Item: Janice
Seller: wil390440
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383576036383

Personally I would want to see the serial number. There's an important and unique feature in the serial numbers of most if not all 2004 bags from Costa Rica.

Please post a clear photo of the entire creed and serial number when you get the bag.

Thanks! I just edited my post because I thought it wasn’t enough info but didn’t realize you were responding at the same time. I’ll just come back when I have a photo of the creed, which makes most sense. I guess I was anxious to get another opinion because the seller wasn’t responding. It should just be “4” not “04” for Costa Rica? I remember reading that.
