Does anyone use Poshmark?

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
Thank you both. It is odd they don't provide private messaging, and I've seen some doozies posted in comments as I browse there. Quite entertaining at times too....LOL!

I had been using the site on my laptop and was trying to figure out to see feedback/reviews of a seller, other than just reading the comments on their listings. So I Google'd about Poshmark seller reviews and learned about lovenotes, but I could not see them. Then I read that they only show when you use the app. I downloaded the Android app for my tablet and sure enough, you can see the ABOUT section of the profiles and find lovenotes. What a silly name, no wonder there's so much HUN going on there...LOL!
Lol, I agree, some listings can be quite entertaining to read. The only reason I like that the listing comments are public is because it helps you spot scammers. I tend to comment on listings (very nicely, I might add) where the people are selling replicas but don't state it in the description, or call them authentic. I only comment when I'm 100% sure, but I can tell with most Louboutins and Valentinos. The scammers usually get nasty and backlash, but it helps that people can see my comments. I know people disagree with me doing it, but I report listings all the time that NEVER get taken down, and it kills me seeing people spend so much money on fakes, so I comment for people to see. If people are honest about what they are selling, I report it, but I don't comment because in the end as much as I hate fakes, it's the dishonest people that make it even worse. I wish Posh was better about taking down replicas!
Sorry about the rant. It's just been bugging me lately!
I figure that's because you could purchase other items while the offer is pending using the balance, so there needs to be a back-up method.
So I placed my first order last Saturday, 8/22. Seller shipped on Monday and I received the bag today! USPS Priority mail usually takes 3 days, but this traveled fast, from Minnesota to Washington state.
The bag is in good shape, hardly used, though there is a bit of color transfer on one side. You probably would never notice it if you were not looking for it. There are no scratches or corner wear, and the inside is clean, so I'm pretty happy with this transaction.
It's a Coach factory bag that I have been admiring online and from pics posted in the Coach forum. I didn't want to pay full price for it so I was happy to find a reasonably priced one on Poshmark. Since I had made an offer, I got notifications when the price was reduced. With the last reduction came an offer of 99¢ shipping, so I couldn't pass that up.

So cute! Love the Laudree keychain
Thank you! That charm is a knock off from Icing, I got it before I knew about the "real" one. Hopefully I'll have the real thing someday!
I would have never known! Love it. I wanted the real thing but when I finally got to Laudree in Paris, I decided I'd rather spend $50 on the macarons then a keychain, lol!
For those of you who sell on Posh....
Do you find you get more likes/sales when you do outfit suggestions?
I'm really not turned on by the whole idea of posing a garment with several elements that arent for sale. I feel it's distracting. However, some of my garments aren't getting any likes whatsoever. I feel these are decent items that can be dressed up with the proper accessories perhaps getting more attention. I'm willing to try it if it works.

I used to take pictures of just the item hanging or laying down, but the last few months I started to model the clothes and style them (trying to be simple so the focus stays on the piece I'm selling) in my cover shot, and I have been getting really good feedback on it. I think people like seeing an idea of how the clothing is worn/styled, because it makes it feel relate-able. If the item doesn't fit me (this happens since I buy online), I usually just lay it flat and don't add other items to the picture. Sometimes, I do lay out other items, but I always try to make sure the item I am selling is the main focus and in the center of the screen. I tend to not like when people do an entire outfit lay and just the bracelet is for sale that you can barely see, lol.
Anyway, that's just my two cents. Would love to hear how others feel about the subject too.

Some of the sellers are reallllllly good at it and I definitely prefer not only their item over an identical one from another seller (bc if they take the time to do it then perhaps it's also been maintained/cared for) but sometimes I'm even willing to pay more for it. Most importantly though, it makes me want to visit their closets often to find more things--even if I'm not interested in THAT particular item. Sometimes it's to see whether one of their other accessories is added that I spotted in another listing
It's kind of like staging a house!

Nice analogy..
