Does anyone know who selects brands for the "parties"? I feel like it's always the same brands over and over... And if you aren't selling forever21, American eagle or Jcrew OR Chanel, Louboutin, and LV... You are left out.
Why not contemporary brands like Vince, Theory, Ella Moss or Splendid?
Or even popular denim like J brand, 7fAM or AG?? Or Inhabit or James Perse?

Am I missing something?

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?

My item took 18 days to get. The seller even told me she shipped and when I asked for the tracking a few days later it showed that it wasn't dropped until 4 days after she said she shipped it

I have a question hopefully someone can help me. I see a lot of sellers selling shopping bags and boxes. I can see how they can ship the boxes (w bigger boxes?) but not sure for shopping bags. How are you shipping shopping bags? My bags are normally big and long and it's not easy finding a box to ship it in. If you ship it in an envelop then it is risked getting folded. I'd love to sell my shopping bags too but don't want to send something that I can't guarantee will arrive in the condition I sent it. TIA for any tips!

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 there's some dialog back and forth on the listing that the seller may keep so that buyers can see their customer service record. I had to make 3 add'l listings for a pair of loubs that I sold so that I could make sure the buyer saw every possible thing before she purchased. They were expensive and she was buying for her wedding so I wanted to be absolutely sure she loved them and didn't regret them at all. I kept them up afterward so that when I post more expensive items later buyers can see that when I sell expensive items I go the extra mile to make sure they'll be happy with them and won't receive nasty surprises (especially since I usually only sell cheap items... I'm not as attached to the cheap stuff and I'm not as concerned getting scammed by a buyer)

I also have some photos of the "hoard" in case somebody is looking for a particular pair I have and is willing to make an offer that would motivate me to to sell some that I don't have an actual listing for yet (it's just screen shots of the album that I use to search/find what pair I want to wear)

I've also used some of my "not for sale" listings to chitchat since there's no messaging. If I see someone interested in a fake pair in someone's closet, I'll tag the potential buyer in one of my own listings that isn't for sale (or one of theirs) to give them the heads up because if I coment on the actual listing, the seller might delete it and relist and block.

IKR? It's the same brands repeating once a week. Lately Ugg seems to be every 3 days. I have one NWT item from Ugg but I would feel like a jerk sharing it that often.

thought I'd add my personal experience here, Poshmark offers great buyer protection but not so much for the sellers. I once sold a designer bag in perfect condition, it comes brand new with the original tags, packaging, wraps and all, I have never opened it or used it at all. But when the buyer received it she filed a claim that it had a strong cigar smell, which is impossible since like I said it's never been opened. I even showed the pictures I took before I sent the package to Poshmark to show them the condition the bag was in, 1) my house is smoke free, 2) the bags was completely wrapped I don't think ANY smell could have penetrated the packaging. However, poshmark still sided with the buyer and approved her return request. My guess is that the customer had buyer's remorse which I understand, but I don't like that they can just lie to get around.

I know exactly what you mean. The one thing that I do like is there are brands that I really love but they're not popular and people also don't seem to know how to price them because they don't sell. I have gotten some unbelievable bargains, like $250 dresses in mint condition for $20, in some cases $15.

There are definitely a set of popular brands that sell over and over again and I think it has to do with the younger demographic.

You hit the nail on the head!!! An old navy hoodie discounted $5 will sell every day but a high ticket item discounted $500 only gets lots of "trade hun" and offers of $50 [emoji38]

I came across a closet I've been reporting daily (we are up to day 27 now and still nothing) that includes: rice cooker, candles, partially used Avon, Selena cd's, some DVD's, men's golf shirts, some handles you use in the shower for sex (didn't even know those were a thing), vibrators, Xmas crafts, and the best one--a jig saw missing one of the four included blades!! I'm not even joking!!

So I'll add in with the younger crowd, some folks with just no idea what posh is for (and posh doesn't care enough to do anything about it)

Oh, I forgot to mention that the rice cooker and shower sex handles and used Avon and candles have sold... But if you're looking for a black & decker jigsaw for $25 I found the listing for you! [emoji38]

Boy you sure got that right! I won't even bother selling my more expensive things..... I think that those are better off on tradesy. The closets I report are the ones where I'm looking for an Anthropologie dress and I see something that is clearly not anthropologie as I know it backwards and forwards and of course I click on the item and it says just posted here for exposure. For some reason that gets me like none other and I just report and report and report but they never do anything.....

What has started to really get me is people must be accepting these low ball offers because I get them so often on the 3 high end items I still have up. If I'm selling $1,200 shoes for $350 that's a pretty good discount. I would even be willing to go to 300 just to get rid of them but I get offers of $75 hun or trade for some grody item. I just want to bring back that word grody lol

I forgot to add I can't believe they're selling shower head attachments and vibrators! I am glad I haven't seen that I am flabbergasted lol
