Hello! Something weird is going on w my PM app, and i was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue.
I listed a pair of brand new sperry topsiders that are a half size too big for me, and the listing has disappeared. I'm 100000% sure I didnt delete it. Does this mean that some reported it as fake?

It may be a glitch of some sort. I believe that if an item is taken down because it was reported as a fake, you get an email saying the listing was removed (and if Posh removed it for any reason, they should send an email).
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.
What do you think?
I've been trying this over the past week. It has not increased my "likes" and I'm getting way more people asking "does the listing include X" even though I state what it is for. Also a ton of trade requests, but probably because my closet is more expensive than a lot on the site with the items still marked down 75-80%. Maybe now they can just get an idea of how to wear it?
Like: no, I will not trade my [insert designer accessory] for your closet full of NastyGal items.
Really?? I thought selling make-up was forbidden? Did they loosen up on that rule?
I've purchased makeup and fragrance on PM and I've listed a few items myself. Oops! I didn't realize it was forbidden... I'm glad they decided to allow it!
They may have loosened up on it... It also could be that they are just as good at enforcing that as other things which are forbidden (cough: fakes cough).
Lololololol! I love your sarcasm!
I genuinely like the app and use it to sell even though there's other ways that would net me more money. For realsies though, their "report" function is a joke! Multiple ppl can report a blatantly prohibited listing every day for months and nothing. I have seen some folks elicit actions by tagging listings @posheditor or something (I wish I could remember what!!!) because either posh cracked down or the seller took action for fear of cracking down being tagged!
I want to share this positive experience I had on Poshmark as a seller.
I sold a Marc by MJ leather backpack for $200 - it was barely used. My original price was $298 but the buyer was very persistent so I accepted her offer. I then boxed it up and shipped it and 2 days later it got to her.
And lo and behold - she files an "item not described" dispute.
I messaged her one word: "Seriously?" She then goes on to say how the straps are too long for her and now she has to get this bag altered and that I should have disclosed how long the straps are. The straps are actually adjustable - she was just having buyers remorse. I forwarded her comments to PM.
Within the day Poshmark deliberates and sides with me.
Wow - I sell on ebay as well and as a seller on ebay I have had to accept that if your buyer files a dispute against you -- no matter what happens, you lose.
So this experience with Poshmark was definitely refreshing.

Wow, I'm so glad they sided with you, and so fast! I'm going through something similar right now, but the case has been "in review" for 3 days. I sold a NWOT Vince leather jacket that I never wore, and was in immaculate condition (and I had clear, high quality pictures). Someone bought it that had no feedback or listings, and asked no questions, and then they filed an "item not as described" claim.
I asked her what was wrong, and eventually she told me the jacket was scuffed all over and had stains everywhere. The leather is SUPPOSED to look worn in, and if you look at the stock photos, it shows it, and it calls it "luggage leather" which means it will be worn-looking. The perfect-looking leather she is thinking of is called pleather...
I'm so frustrated. I've contacted Posh twice and sent them the link to stock photos and everything. I'm really hoping they side with me because I always describe everything really well, and take lots of pictures...
^^Sorry you're dealing with that. It seems that many Poshers are looking for designer items in perfect condition at thrift store prices.
Mharri20, I had a similar experience and PM never replied to my messages, and in fact never bothered to inform me they resolved in my favor. I was checking my balance every day and that's how I knew, because they released my funds.
