Does anyone use Poshmark?

This is similar (if not exact) to what happens with store brand vs. name brand food and health and beauty items.

For example, Green Giant probably makes at least 50% of store brand canned corn and beans products. And the various supermarket chains put their names and labels on the packaging. Those store brand items aren't counterfeit Green Giant!

At CVS or Walgreens their store brand generic acetaminophen is probably made by Johnson & Johnson, the same company that makes Tylenol.

And the same goes for store brand baby powder; it's practically the same as J&J baby powder but without the name brand label and without the name brand price.

But these comparisons are completely different from a counterfeit product.
Yes very different, an example of what I was talking about was posted above.
 
Awe.. I hate to see you discount them completely.:shucks:
I would still buy a designer item from them (I'm eyeing a Balenciaga for later lol).
I just wouldn't trust their authentication service.:nogood:

You can always ask the gals on the appropriate board here to take a look and/or use a paid service after you receive your item,
They would have to take it back & refund if a paid service deemed the item inauthentic.
There's some great deals there- and on authentic merchandise. It's just the same as any other site Tradesy, Ebay and so on, we must do our due diligence as buyers and verify authenticity. :smile1:
Well, to be honest, there really aren't a lot of high end things I like, especially if many people are wearing them...... I do have 2 pairs of loubs but only because I fell in love with the design but I don't like the ubiquitous red bottom, or a logo covered bag..... I like them on other people, but don't feel like they fit my personality. I like unique pieces and might consider it if the price /piece was right. But no, I wouldn't trust the authentication services.
 
I thought it was but I couldn't recall for certain so I didn't want to name names. :laugh:



I personally LOVE you for it- and I appreciate when anyone points out fakes!

To heck with them- if they don't like it, they shouldn't list fakes.


Wish all people thought like you! I agree, and kind of find it crazy when people say I'm the bad person when they are the ones performing an illegal activity. But, to each their own I guess.
 
Anyone else having an issue with sellers never shipping? This has happened to me 3 times now in less than 2 months. I buy the item and never hear a peep from the seller. I guess the seller long gave up on Poshmark.
Something has to change. I feel as if purchasing is a gamble.

YES!

It's actually happening to me right now..... I offered an amount, it was countered and then the price of the item was lowered to my counter offer. I need the dress for a cocktail party so I went ahead and purchased...... 4 days and not a peep.... I even posted politely today to please let me know when it will ship. Makes me crazy...... When I sell something I trip over my feet getting to the post office..... I would say this is the 5th time this year this has happened. Very frustrating but people do abandon their closets :(

wow I'm surprised this happened after a counteroffer. Well, it means the seller actually was still active recently at least.

ugh, i dont have this issue with Ebay. I'm so turned off with Poshmark for this.

It's actually not the first time..... If I had to guess, they sold it for more $ on another site and forgot to delete it and don't want to post that they did that.....

There are a lot of good sellers, I agree this is frustrating but I still think it's better than eBay....
 
No reply nor shipment from the seller and yet this person is clearly active because she just changed her default pic. No idea why they have not replied nor shipped.
if she no longer has the item what is so hard about saying so?
 
does anyone know why some people have items listed but they say that item is not for sale? then why is it listed? are people not allowed to delete items on poshmark?
Sometimes the item is on hold for someone else. I have one item in my closet that I have a not for sale on because I can't decide if I want to keep it or not. I'm not quite ready to delete it although I probably should.

that is very irritating. If I do have to cancel an item I make sure I put in big capital letters on the item that I ordered and paid for the item but it was never shipped so that someone else doesn't order it either. I hope your seller and decides to ship your item.

As Planet Banana's posted sometimes it's on hold, sometimes they've sold it via PP or another venue. You'll often see a listing for huge amounts $500. for jeans etc... that are being held.
I've seen posts for extra photos that are "not for sale" and sometimes a seller will change their mind but leave the listing up.

Lastly, Posh is a favorite of teens & younger adult ladies that often post things in their closet just to share with friends & other Poshers. I've seen many collections of jeans, shoes etc... posted to share that were not for sale.
