Exactly! I've never finished looking through all the items because it is too tedious. And that can't be good for the seller. Something wonderful could be at the bottom of the list and I will never see it.

:ps: Exactly!! There aren't enough pictures & most of the ones that are there are crap. Poshmark states they do not allow fake but make no effort to remove the listing of so called "inspired" bags. Seems to me if you're going to allow the sale of that junk, at least put it into it's own category & make sure it says INSPIRED in the listing header. They really need to come up with a way to filter the searches. I cannot imagine much goes on there. I see a lot of stuff that been listed for months & a lot of the sellers don't check on much less update their so called closets. Sorry ...end of :rant:

Ditto. I think I went there twice and left thinking "what a mess". Mind u that's not that the only site that I think is not well organized and I really have a problem them allowing fake bags.
 
Bought a bag I've been wanting for awhile and it's hard to find nowadays, the seller described it as "like new." When I got it she didn't even bother to clean out the back pocket of all her feminine supplies, and the interior had obvious wear and Bobby pins were in the zip pocket. Now that's just laziness if you don't clean out a bag before you send it, and just throw it in a box with no protection to send it :(

Only keeping it because it's a bag I've really wanted, but it's sellers like that which really turn me off from posh.

I am so sorry that happened to you! that just happened to me with Tradesy. The seller listed as "like new" and sent me a message assuring me no marks whatsoever- the bag arrived with piping scuffed terribly all up the front of the bag and covered in what I am HOPING was mud. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it's more common with Posh, there are liars and scammers everywhere!
 
Just to update on my situation- I'd emailed Posh asking what the buyer's specific issue was and they just responded with a cut and paste of what was online "not as described, respond if you wish with your side"

Not knowing at all what the complaint was, I wrote a response on the online form just saying that she ordered and received exactly what was described. I said I threw in an extra wallet thing free and the only item having visible signs of wear was posted as having visible signs of wear. I pointed out that I have all 5 star ratings from all my other sales.

Last night I got an email saying upon further review, my funds are being released to me and sorry for the inconvenience.

Relatively painless compared to all the horror stories I've heard about ebay, etc.

So she had to have "accepted" the item. When you accept the item they ask you to rate the purchase/seller/whatever. Did you check to see if she gave you a comment?

She didn't accept the item- if you hit "accept" you are basically saying everything's ok with it and you agree to pay- Posh can release the $. Never hit accept until you are sure you got what you paid for, it's authentic, etc!

She refused to accept and said "not as described," Posh reviewed, and released the money without her accepting.

This is good news! She was probably trying to return because it didn't fit or something strange like that, but posh wouldn't allow it. I've had good luck with posh services on this and they seem to do a good job on making the decisions.

Sorry not to change the subject but are those your hairy cat shoes in your avatar? They are fantastic! And I'm sorry for calling them hairy cat shoes. Please forgive me?:flowers:

Lol hairy cat shoes?? Yes that's me and they are mine :) scored them for a fabulous deal but they are proudly displayed in my closet as they are way too dang tall!!!
 
Good morning! Has anyone had a "not as described" case take longer than two days for a response? It seems like most of you who have had to open a case have heard back right away. I am pretty much brand new to Poshmark. I had a couple of sales that went fine, but I just bought my first item, a pair of Louboutin Une Plumes. They are totally authentic, that is not the problem. Unfortunately, the seller listed them as the incorrect color. The listing described them as "black patent leather", and the photos were taken indoors, not near a window or anything, so they really look like they are black in the photos. When they arrived however, I found out they are the burgundy metallic color.

To her defense, indoors they can appear as dark as black, but in any natural lighting, they are definitely not black (that's my photograph below).They are a hard color to photograph, but when you hold them in your hands, it is clear the color is burgundy. It makes a difference because the color just doesn't work with my complexion and makes my feet look dead. It might not seem like a big deal, but to me it is. Especially since they were not cheap, and what I thought I was buying was black shoes, not burgundy.

I chose "not as described" and "other", and uploaded several photos of the shoes in natural lighting so that Poshmark could see the actual color. I also noted that the listing stated the shoes being sold were "black", but I didn't include a screenshot of the listing. Should I have contacted the seller first instead? I know there is not the same protection as eBay and this is a lot of money for me to risk, so I wanted to do this by the rules. I was just not sure how Poshmark worked with situations like this. I'm afraid I didn't do something right.

That was on Wednesday (the day they were delivered), and I have not heard anything back. It still says case under review. I am worried that Poshmark won't think color is important enough. Has anyone had a case over color or details like this denied? Or has anyone had a case take longer than two days? Thank you for sharing your experience! I really appreciate it. :smile1:

Sheesh! This isn't a case of close colors like black and dark navy or black and dark brown! I don't buy or sell on PM but I can't imagine that they'd deny a SNAD claim (or whatever terminology they use there) when an item described as "black" is clearly red! That's not even close, in spite of how they may have appeared in her pictures.

Are you able to contact the seller directly, either through PM messaging or directly to her email? I would assume if you paid through PP, you'd have her email address. In fact, it's a good idea to cc a message both through PM and by email to let her know her mistake.
 
How long ago did you open your case? It is Easter weekend so they may not work on Good Friday. Those are RED shoes. There's no way anyone can confuse the two colors - except your color blind seller.

Thanks, Been Burned. I hope that Poshmark sees it that way too. To me its a big deal and I don't know how she mistook the color, unless she only ever saw the shoes in a dark room?? :shrugs: Even the stitching is burgundy, but everyone is different, I guess. I really don't know why I haven't heard back from Poshmark though, as I thought this would have been cut and dry. That makes me nervous.

Unfortunately, I am not very well versed with Poshmark either. I think that the messaging is all public, like right on the listing itself? I don't think there is a PM option. I paid with my credit card direct to Poshmark, so there was no Paypal transaction to fall back on either. Would you think its okay that I message her on the listing to let her know that the color was not black and that is why I opened the case? Or would that not be polite or a good move for me? Thank you for all your help and advice! Always!
