I have a question. Why are people on Poshmark following me? I don't sell and I bought a bag and a wallet in one day and that's it. Why would anyone "follow" me?

Are you "liking" or commenting on listings? Some people will follow others who are liking/purchasing/commenting on items that are similar to what they're selling, on the chance you'll in turn visit their closets and follow/purchase.

I do agree with what you're saying BeenBurned. I think my post is more commenting on the inflated bags being sold and what i've witnessed in the comment section of the listing. For example- if someone offers $200 on a bag listed at $250 but you bought it for $65 and then you publicly complain that the offer is a low ball because the retail value is $378 (even though the Peyton Bags at the outlet were not sold for that), even with fees, that is still a hefty profit. Sure, a seller can decline the offer of 200 and wait for 250, they have the right to do that, but the seller complaining in the comments is what doesn't look so hot. However, if that's how they want to conduct their business that's on them, and I guess good luck to them!

I see that all the time, and I mostly notice that those things tend to sit forever and have 10,000 comments trying to negotiate lol. that would be exhausting. Most people are hip to using a number of shopping sites now. Sellers have closets full of stuff that have/will be there for years unless they negotiate/get real.

I am addicted to the app and need to cool my jets if I want to keep up with my savings challenges lol.

So true! I wonder how of actual items on poshmark have sold vs. what is all listed. I've noticed a lot of items with deep discounts or low "Buy it Now" prices get snatched up quickly, and I usually just check what's new in certain categories/brands without really searching Posh for anything in particular. Very rarely do I purchase items that i've liked that the seller has discounted, since I just buy what I want when I see it lol.

There is much more inventory than buyers on posh. A lot of girls list in a number of places which is smart. When I want something in particular it is typically fairly easy to find at a good price, which I appreciate. its easier to comb through than pages and pages of eBay lol.

Very true. When I first started on Posh I did a huge clean up of my closet and sold over 70+ listings, some even were bundles, and I was just happy to get rid of stuff for a good price since it wasn't serving a purpose anymore! Now I just buy a lot on the site haha, and sell occasionally a handbag I'm ready to part with, but there is not a rush to sell those items so I'm more willing to wait out for the price I want if that takes an extra week or two.

I think that may be due to so many listings that are sold "behind Poshmark's back". I've seen listings where they openly say they'll sell it through Paypal but ship through Poshmark. But I've also asked questions to sellers about their items and get no response for weeks. I'm assuming the item is gone.

Before I buy anything on posh I do 1,2,3 as needed:
1) Check to see when the item was last updated. If it's recently I just press buy. If not recently then I...
2) Check their top 2 listings to see when they were last updated or if the seller recently replied to anyone.
3) If I still can't figure it out then I just ask if the item is still available.

And the "parties" I get invited to. Why are there parties??? Nothing looks like it's discounted. Some prices are down right high. And the app keeps sending me (not)cute little snippets. I got what I was looking for. I think I'll delete the app.

I bought a wallet on3/19 and the seller still hasn't shipped. I emailed Posh and they said if it hasn't shipped in 7 days I can cancel. They contacted her on 3/27 and she told them she would ship soon???? Wow.

I have a feeling she sold my wallet to someone else after I bought it, there were messages on the item betweeh her and another buyer who must have been dealing privately until I bought the item.

Does the seller get dinged or in any kind of trouble if she does this? I haven't cancelled the sale yet, I want her to ship it or tell me what's going on.
