If it's the listing I think it is, the bag looks good but having a "Coach serial number" doesn't prove a darned thing about authenticity. 99.9% of fakes have "Coach serial numbers" and on many of the fakes, the style number and/or the full serial number might "seem" legit. It doesn't make the bag they're on authentic.

Are you serious? Why would I post on purseforum about a bag that is not authentic knowing that this site can be used for authenticating bags? I don't know who has "burned you" in the past, but it wasn't me. You have no idea what bag I'm referring to because you don't even know who I am. I didn't leave any information here. I came here for support, not for you to take out whatever issues you've had in the past on someone you don't even know.

I hadn't had any issues for my first two sales on poshmark but my last one is making me want to quit using it. The buyer reported the handbag I sold as not authentic. The bag is 100% authentic. It even has a coach serial number to look it up. The buyer was being weird from the beginning. They purchased my bag twice but both times their form of payment was denied and they kept messaging me when it happened. I'm sure it's a common occurrence for people to try to scam you but with poshmark the funds don't even get released to me until this issue is cleared. Also if the buyer sends the bag back, who knows what kind of condition it's in now. It's really quite stressful/upsetting.

Thanks for the advice! I did go ahead and write out a response to them with my side. I still have the pictures of the bag as well. I agree with you about not just sitting and waiting. It's definitely just so annoying to deal with scammers and people with buyer's remorse.

Whoa!! No one has accused you of selling a fake and no one is taking out whatever issues they've had in the past! There's absolutely no reason to be so defensive and to jump down my throat.

Yes, you came here looking for support but posted misinformation. And any one of us who authenticates and sees this type of misinformation which can lead to both false accusations of fake (when items are authentic) or assumptions that fakes are genuine.

In fact, I stated that the listing I saw looked fine. (There wasn't a creed picture in the listing, thus making a truly accurate authentication impossible.) The listing's seller's name was Felicia so pardon me for making an ASSumption.

ETA: Part of my reason for not caring for nor recommending Poshmark is because of the excessive numbers of fakes there and PM's lack of response to reports.

You're right. I don't know your listing, I don't know whether you're an honest (authentic) seller or not but I do know that you posted something that is inaccurate.

BeenBurned is very experienced and has probably helped guide hundreds of TPFers, both buyers and sellers, through difficult and complicated situations. Maybe thousands if you count the Coach authentication thread! I would listen to what she says even if I don't like it, oftentimes she's just telling you the facts.

Okay, good to know. Thanks!

BTW, here is a shining example of why NO ONE should ever do business with Poshmark. You're NOT protected there and if the counterfeit proliferation wasn't enough, the fact that there are scammers that Poshmark does nothing about should convince you.

In one of the clothing facebook groups I belong to there have been several sellers/buyers that have been ripped off by Poshmark seller Caseykbruce815. She's a woman that lives in Chicago and has done literally dozens of "trades" with other sellers - which Poshmark allows.

In every single case this seller Caseykbruce815 has NOT sent the items that she was traded for. The other sellers sent off their items (labels are printed by the sellers so it appears to each other that the items are being sent) but Caseykbruce815 never uses the label or sends the items.

When sellers that were ripped off complained to Poshmark, Poshmark did nothing and in several cases closed the accounts of the sellers who were reporting the fraud.

So heads up - there's a seller to avoid at all costs and a real good view at how things are handled at Poshmark. NOT GOOD!

I listed several items and wonder if I've wasted my time. I seem to get a lot of likes but never any offers. Do people shop there or just look? Should I stick to eBay?

I'm not giving out my Poshmark screen name, I'm not selling anything here. Just looking for some advice on where to sell/consign :)

Here's a huge thread where many people post about all things Poshmark: http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/does-anyone-use-poshmark-780202.html

The TPF search function is really good so before starting a thread, maybe run a search first.. you will likely find lots of valuable info :)

Actually, I do not believe Poshmark allows trades. I am not sure how trading came about, but in Poshmark's FAQs, it clearly says that they do not condone trading. Therefore, if you get screwed from a trading transaction, there's nothing they can do about it and if they ban you, it's because you broke their site's rules (it is a valid reason). Just because some people do it doesn't mean it's right or allowed; I think they're just taking advantage of the cheap shipping label offered by Poshmark.

Most of you guys blame Poshmark for problems that you are at least 50% responsible in creating. If you go by Poshmark rules, don't trade, don't send it to an address that is not on the shipping label and look at the seller's other items that have been sold and the comments under them you really shouldn't have too many problems. People come on here with one bad experience and say how crappy Poshmark is. No, people are crappy, and the more businesses that are based on trust like uber & Airbnb there are going to be more and more of these kinds of scams and problems.

I have had multiple times were sellers have told me to send the item to a different address that Poshmark didn't change the address quickly enough. There is no way I would do that, I contact Poshmark and make them make another shipping label and the person can twist in the wind until that happens. I also never buy anything without looking at the feedback that the person has. If I want to buy an item and I see feedback like the person apricot Summers is talking about I would run as fast as I could away from their closet. Also, I would never buy anything on Poshmark that is known for counterfeit, like coach Burberry Louis Vuitton etc. There is a place for Poshmark and it works well when it works the way that it supposed to.

They discourage trading but they know it happens.
Every item page ALWAYS has multiple posts of "TRADE?" "TRADE?"
It's one of the many reasons I refuse to list there.

"Our Posh Protect policy does not cover trades within the system. When payment for the full value of items is not exchanged through the Poshmark system, we cannot guarantee that both parties will ship their items to each other as promised or as described. Trading is based on an honor system and is difficult for us to support. For this reason, we discourage users from trading on Poshmark so that we can provide users with the protection that they deserve"
