Quoting again because this info is valuable. Thanks so much for sharing, I thought I had seen it all, but this is new. I will never trade, never.

Yes, if these people would put their minds to good use, they could do great things....

I am stunned! :wtf:
That was one creative scammer right there!
Dang! Too bad she uses her brains for crime & conning people because as much as I hate to admit it, she sounds like a smart cookie!

I wish some of these super scammers would flip and start inventing ideas to help us thwart these scams! Sort of like how hackers switch to the FBI & help catch other hackers & create security software etc...

I am so happy you had good people watching out for you!
Glad you avoided getting ripped off!!

ETA: I still think BeenBurned has the answer to safe trading! Both sides "pay" the same amount to each other as a sale & swap goods.
It's a great solution! Gotta hand it to BeenBurned she's a pretty smart cookie too! Glad she's on the side of the angels.:angel:

I know right?! Why can't they use their creativeness towards something positive. I know it sounds harsh but I hope karma bites those scammers is the a**.😉

Seeking advice... I bought these and made an offer based upon their listed "pristine" condition. I received them like this--I don't think these are HORRIBLE defects but they aren't in the listing photos and aren't mentioned--hence my accepted offer price makes me now feel ripped off. I should also mention that there's more wear on the bottom now than there was in the listing...not a lot but they were definitely worn another time since taking listing photos which might explain the defects that aren't there in the listing photos. What do you think of these photos of the scrape and the puncture--am I overreacting? Thanks for either reassuring my disappointment OR putting my high-expectations in check (whichever the case may be) ImageUploadedByPurseForum1447713101.934524.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1447713327.522532.jpg

I'm so sorry to hear about that ! I'm sorry but that is definitely NOT pristine condition. I would take pics asap and send them to the seller, otherwise they might turn around and say she didn't send them like that. Are you planning to keep them? Have you brought this up to the attention of the seller? That isn't and high expectation whatsoever. Those shoes are far from pristine, I'm sorry 😕

I sent a message within 5 minutes of signing for them--I didn't want to be accused of doing it myself. I'm not sure what to do honestly. I've stalked this snake print for years and I never see them come up in my size and they're usually Pigalles but I wanted decolletes. So I do feel like I had high expectations thinking I finally had the stars align but I also think I'm really reasonable when it comes to used goods. I'm not so much upset they're in this condition, just that I feel ripped off Bc I would have offered a different price. When I saw it I thought maybe it was a totally different pair but I confirmed with the bottom wear it's the same pair, completely undamaged in the photos (just a little bit more wear now in the same pattern and the new scrape and crunched up puncture). I'm just... Deflated I guess! :/

I would definitely return. You have a pretty strong case. If you feel like you got ripped off, there's no reason to hold onto them. You'll always have this feeling and its just going to take the excitement away every time you look at them. Just my two cents.

You don't have to explain yourself. Either way, the condition of the shoes you were bidding on is totally different than when you received it. I wouldn't know what to do either especially since they are hard to find
. I would ask if she could give you a partial refund because that puncture is not what you had in mind when the seller posted the shoes as "pristine condition". 😕

I know it's petty to vent about dumb things. . But it's crazy how much scamming is going on on poshmark . I just wanted to warn everyone to please research your seller. I've made a few friends on there and they've been burned so many times it's crazy . I'm too afraid to buy anything on there, literally 50/50 chance you'll get scammed..I've noticed it especially with Chanel and louis Vuitton. I basically have to prove to buyers that I'm not a scammer because it's getting that bad lol. It's no problem to me because if I were on the other end I would be the exact same way .

No those aren't pristine condition. I think maybe take a day and decide exactly what you want to do, do you want to return them or would you want to seek a partial refund? That way you can then proceed ahead. The bottom line is the item is not as described. I don't think its dumb at all, it is so disappointing to be excited to find something and order it only to be let down when it arrives. I've certainly had that happen, not enough to return or get a refund but something I have been excited about finding after a couple of years and getting it in not so good condition,or smelling like an ashtray ( I know that's a temporary condition but its not something that makes me happy).


On another subject, since I was going to post this I will include it in this post...

I am so sick of people using my shipping box as a garbage can. I don't want your leftover Halloween candy, Ipsy or Birchbox samples, makeup samples, perfume samples, samples of crap you're selling and you want me to buy....... please just spare me all of that! Also, back when I was a heavy eBay seller which is going back 10 years, sending a thank you note was unusual and I did it all the time. Now it's just something else that gets thrown in the trash. Unless it has some information on it that I might be interested in like a website or something else please hold the cards that just say "thanks for shopping in my closet". I'm not a big recycling nut, but what am I going to do with these thank you cards? They just go in the garbage can okay /vent.

Exactly, besides I just got a zip lock (ok, nice no melting but.....) bag full of m&m's Reese's, Tootsie Roll pops, etc don't you think I have plenty of that here lol it made me wonder if her kids were missing any of their Halloween candy haha

I used to include a small item, usually an unopened makeup sample (but never perfume), as a thank you to my buyers, but I stopped after reading complaints about it on this thread. Thank you cards are specifically recommended by Poshmark, so that's probably why most sellers do it. I am surprised to learn that people actually resent receiving thank you cards ... seems like basic curtesy to me.

OMG yes!!! The ashtray smell is the worst!! Smells like my hair when I'm hungover the next morning, staying out way past my bedtime and not showering before crawling into bed!!! Pretty much the only place folks smoke heavily nowadays is clubs/bars so it's the only time my hair smells like that and I usually wash it out right away if I'm halfway upright... Hence, I now associate it with being sideways/sick!

That really happens?? I'm shocked! I give folks the side-eye when they eat out of the candy drawer at work like it's their personal stress-trough, leaving zero dollars for the poor lady that fills it out of her pocket every week (she doesn't scrimp either--lots of chocolates lol) and then twice a year dump their cheap leftovers from halloween and Easter in there with no attention to mixing fruits and mints and chocolates so it all ends up tasting stale and meh... Sending that in a package is beyond bizarre to me! Reminds me of a time I was at a conference in St Louis and they gave us all barbecue sauce--I had no need for barbecue sauce in my hotel room (I'm just not THAT freaky) and it exploded inside my luggage on the plane on my return flight.... *facepalm

I think that people who are not used to it and are experiencing it for the first time are more apt to appreciate it as a courtesy. I just appreciate if my item is wrapped nicely in tissue paper, clean and sent on time. I can't say that I resent the thank you cards that would be too strong of a word and I'm sorry if my post came across that way I just feel that they are unnecessary, but that's just my own opinion.
