Does anyone use Poshmark?

[chikies0816]

Wow! Thanks for the responses guys! Super helpful Kind of seems like the girl just needs to work on her communication and customer service skills. I received the dress yesterday. So either the USPS didn't scan at all or PM needs to figure out a better way to automatically keep customers updated on the shipping process! I find it odd however that USPS seems to shrug off the PM packages and not scan them, however they never fail when it's my eBay packages


Now I have another issue: I made my purchase on July 25, using my debit card. I cancelled the order on August 2nd. WELLL my card expired July 31. Since its a debit card will my bank be able to give me the funds???? I read in several places that even though the card is expired, my bank receives the money and can therefore post it to my account, since the number itself is still mine. I already emailed PM and messaged them on FB.

I believe that's correct.

Hi all,

quick question:

LAST Saturday I bought a dress, hoping to wear it THIS Tuesday to a concert (so, 10 days from then) assuming the seller would be responsible and send it in a timely fashion.

SOOO It gets to be Wednesday evening, and nothing. So I comment on the picture, asking when she would ship. Thursday she claims she "will ship tomorrow!" Again, nothing. Not on Friday, Saturday, even today! So I comment on the item yet again, asking if she shipped, and if not she could just cancel the order. I wait a few hours (4+) and no reply, so I cancel the order. Of course less than an hour later she says she'd already shipped when I cancelled.

Poshmark says you get an email confirming shipping when the USPS scans it, yet I have no email (spam or inbox), and the order status was still "pending" when I cancelled.

So the seller is obviously mad. Should I feel bad? Does anyone have issues with Poshmark not updating the order status/USPS not sending an email? Or does the seller have to change the status automatically? It seems like if she actually shipped when she was supposed to, I would know by now!

I know this has been answered, and I have had the same experience where I shipped something, but it took a long time to scan. I work during PO hours, so I usually leave the package in my mailbox or on my doorstep to be picked up (unless the items is really expensive), and most of the time I don't get a shipment email until around midnight or so. There is a big delay unfortunately.

Also, I admit that I am poor about shipping ASAP. I am off Fridays so I can ship something then, but normal days I leave at 5am and get home at 5pm. I tend to get home, cook, eat, and go to sleep, lol. Sometimes I forget to pack something up, but I always try to let the buyer know. Recently, I had a package in the mailbox to be shipped with the flag up, and we got skipped by the mail lady Friday (furniture delivery truck parked in front of the mailbox) AND Saturday (no clue why). It made me really upset that my package didn't get shipped till Monday!

I just completed a really lousy posh purchase. I bought an item and it kept showing in process. The seller said she mailed it but I had to chase her down to get the tracking number. It seemed like there was a long lag time between shipping and delivery and posh never updated the item status. After receiving the tracking number from the seller I knew it was in process but received an email from posh saying since it had been over 7 days I could cancel. I chose not to and received the item a day or two later. Even though the item was as described, the shipping was very slow, I commented on it in my rating and then received a very nasty comment from the seller showing under the item, which I felt was really uncalled for. She blocked me and I could not respond. She received a very good price for the item. I amended my rating but she sure did upset me.
Also, I cannot see how to view the seller's previous ratings, can someone assist? Thanks-

I'm obsessed with this app! I think it's still only for Apple users. But it's an awesome community and extremely safe. I had a scare with eBay earlier today and it's making me more grateful for this app.

They take care of all of the shipping which makes it extremely easy and its a flat $7. Only drawback for sellers is it takes a 20% commission but it's not too bad if you take into account how much more accessable the customer service and buyer/seller protection is.

If you use the code "HBAWP" you can get a $5 credit to shop with! It's all womens fashion and I've found some amazing steals on there

No, Poshmark is available on all phones, not just Apple. The one you are thinking of is Mecari, which is strictly for Apple users. Mercari takes NO commission at all! You get every dime of your money and buyers pay shipping which is only 7.00.

Actually, Poshmark shipping is never more than 4.99 for Priority mail! What is a hassle is that you don't get paid until the item is delivered and Posh take 20 percent of your sale. It is great for buyers however as the shipping is never more than 4.99 and there are some amazing bargains there, however, be very careful, it is loaded with fakes!

Hummm I have Mercari on my tablet and it's Android..

Merc is ok.. The majority of the quality & clientele are both on the lower end compared to other sites I use but I still use them as a resource, when I'm desperately seeking a particular widget.

I like Posh but again, a lot of youngsters on there, which is fine but they tend to lowball and I mean LOW and/or want only to trade.
I've bought a few things from Posh and been very happy. The sellers I've dealt with are extremely sweet.
One exception was a pair of jeans I paid $100 for and they're unwearable due to missing rhinestones that weren't disclosed in the listing. They're bad enough I wont even try to resell them.

Wow! They're on Android now? My girlfriend will be happy to hear that! Originally was just for Apple Iphone users. They also upgraded to PayPal only a couple of months ago. With all these expansions it's probably just a matter of time before they start charging a percentage.

Yes, definitely a younger customer base on Posh. They do lowball really bad. I won't sell there because of it. Would drive me crazy. I also don't care for the public comments. OMG! lol!

Oh I agree HUN
I just love being called "hun" by a girl my son's age.. Not.
Funny, I'm the same.. I shop a little on Posh but I haven't tried listing there.. I see 'NO TRADES" on listings all the time and then a wall of 'Trade?" "Do you trade hun?" "Consider a trade?" "Trade TRADE!" EEK! ullhair: I don't know if I could stand it..

Yep, Merc is on Android now- I'm happy for her.. It is nice & refreshing to have NO FEE for selling.. I agree that might change in time as they grow in popularity & users I imagine..

I just ordered my first item on Poshmark, hoping it goes well and item is as good as it looks in the pics. It looks like there is no way to communicate with a seller other than in the public comments, is that correct? Seller has a few good lovenotes, so I'm crossing my fingers that I will be able to leave one too.

Hope you get it! My luck buying there is very hit or miss. I can say that app is a mess for selling anything more than F21 / H&M stuff Ive never seen so many low ballers in my life!

Posh doesn't allow people to see sellers ratings as of right now. If you go into a seller's "about" section, you can see the "love notes" that they have given or received, which is any comment on a 5-star rating. Other than that, the ratings aren't public. While I would like to see ratings, I have gotten bad ones for no reason, and when I ask the buyer why they give me no response. I've also gotten a couple bad ratings for the item not fitting, which I find unfair as that's the risk of buying online.

I always go back through and read sold listings and read how the seller is responding, or if people gave feedback on the listing itself (I tend to do this). I usually give 5 stars and if something minor was wrong, I leave a comment that says (nicely) what they could have improved on.

I admit to being not the greatest about shipping, but I always try to let people know and give updates. I can only make it to the PO on Fridays or Saturdays because of work, and it drives me nuts that my local PO doesn't have a drop off for packages, only letters. I leave packages on my doorstep to be picked up, but if the items are worth a lot I don't like to do that. I never leave nasty comments though and hate when people do that. There are some not-so-kind people on the app!

Yes, unfortunately the listing comments are the only way to communicate. This is good and bad, as you can see if the seller had any bad transactions or gets nasty, but I hate that you can't message people privately. Good luck on your first purchase! I have bought a lot on the app and I have good luck with it

I do not use the app - just straight off my IPad, where can you see the "about" on the seller?
Thanks!

Hmm I just looked at the site from my computer and I don't see anywhere to click on the "about" part on the page, or anywhere to see the "love notes" from the webpage. It looks like something you may only be able to see with the app, and if that's the case them Posh should fix that. If anyone else can find it please post it because maybe I am just missing something...
