*BUYING* on Poshmark

With poshmark I have had this happen more then a few times. I am not sure what it is about that site but half the time people seem like they don't really want to even sell what they're posting. I understand everyone is human, but I don't think they're truly that busy to not take a picture/respond within a reasonable amount of time. If I was you I would stay clear of a seller like that.

Hi, this is my first post, yeah!
I agree with all of the above. Posh has its ups & downs. I have accidentally missed ?'S and get pretty aggravated with the lowball offers. I try to remember that a buyer may not understand the amount of time it takes to photograph, measure & write the listing. Then the 20% fee! It can be exhausting! I haven't listed new items in a while & not sure if I ever will again. But, if someone misses more than a response or two, I would not feel comfortable buying from them.
Does anyone have sites to suggest?
Thank you, I'm so happy I found this site

Sorry to interrupt but I simply have to comment on Kidclarke's avatar. Hilarious! I'm a kitty lover and owner too - not easy to capture such a perfect pic! Haaaaa.
 
I only recently listed some things on Poshmark, but I have noticed - despite having all the email notifications turned on - I rarely get one in a timely manner when someone comments or asks a question. I have to weed through all the useless notices on the site to get to anything important. I wish they'd fix that because otherwise it seems like a good place.
 
Let me start out how frustrated I am with Poshmark. I bought a chanel bag on Poshmark and Poshmark authenticated it and it was mailed to me. Six months later my sister bought the bag from me. She sells it on Poshmark and Poshmark verified it as authentic and sent it to the buyer. Poshmark emails my sister and States the buyer described the bag as not authentic. Poshmark sends another email and states they sent it to a third party and deemed it not authentic!?! I no longer trust them!! What is wrong with their authenticators?

Wow. I hope your sister explained that the bag originally came from poshmark! Keep us posted on what happens with this.

I will keep you posted, I am so disappointed in Poshmark. Their authentication service is not reputable. My sister emailed them and told them they already authenticated twice! The original seller even had it authenticated by https://etincelerauthentications.com/.
 
I hope so.

I just saw this new thread. I am having the same issues with their "authenticators". I bought an obvious fake Tiffany necklace, I provided all kinds of pics of the fake with real Tiffany. The "in house specialist" deemed it authentic and are sending it back to me!
I have filed a claim with Paypal and will file a claim with my cc if Paypal does not rule in my favor. I tried to buy a piece of jewelry to make me happy while I am sick and I am so frustrated with Poshmark and their fakes!

I’m sorry this happened. Hope PayPal rules in your favor. It’s unfortunate they don’t have reliable authenticators and many buyers and sellers are getting screwed. I’m still waiting to hear from my sister what Poshmark will say! Keep us update!
 
Yes I will update when this is settled. I can't believe the cheap metal and the rubbed off engraving passed authentication. I would post photos, but my phone app doesn't work.
