Poshers pls beware. This person will have you text them and do the transaction off of posh, so you will not be protected!

Woww. I just looked up realdealbags.. yup that was the same seller tavyrrenee, she always asks them to text that number. She was probably exposed so she deleted all the listings and made a new accnt. It's crazy! I hope no one falls for it, some poshers went through Google wallet /paypal and never got an item. How sad is that, someone put so much trust in the seller to wire them 6k. I hate to say it but it wasnt a smart decision ��

Oh wow!!!

Nice job outing her! Sheesh, staying aware of scammers is becoming a full time job. Yikes! :wtf:

I wonder if that bag even really exists.. It's freaking gorgeous! I don't even consider Chanel (lovely but just not my style) but I would consider that bag. :graucho: It's a beauty. :loveeyes: Not from that seller of course...

Anyway- Good job Arlene.

I just had to comment about the "trade hun" lol I can't remember if I was trying to sell a Gucci or a Louis Vuitton, but this one girl wrote"trade hun". She had only one item in her closet and it was for a pair of filthy flip flops! She seriously wanted to trade a Gucci or LV for nasty flip flops that should have been thrown out!

I know this is a serious issue but your comment has me in stiches.:laugh:

The nerve of some of those Poshers. I have authentic Gucci listed and I receive offers of $99 & $50. I just ignore them. If I see "trade hun" I won`t even respond. I also have a lot of people asking me to purchase on ♏️ercari instead of Poshmark. They can get a better scam on there.:nono:

I just read where a lot of sellers are receiving "not as described" cases against authentic items and when the buyers return them it`s not the authentic item that was mailed. They said Poshmark won`t do anything in a claim because they say it`s "Word against word".
I`m removing all my items from Poshmark and just selling them on Ebay. I`m tired of being scammed.

They are eventually going to have to do something, between this, issues in above posts and the failure of the retail program (it is my opinion that it will fail) they will eventually be what eBay is...... That's actually a tried & true old eBay scam, to return a different item, or one that is damaged.

I have been on Threadflip, Mercari & Tradesy lately and been very impressed with particularly Threadflip. They have a feature where if you've "liked" something, the seller can email you a lower offer & twice now that's worked out nicely. Poshmark has similar tools, but not that and I think there will soon be alot more competition in this space.

As a buyer, I've gotten some mind blowing deals and I think it's only going to grow as people set their own market for clothing they have been sitting on for years. Poshmark has to do better at addressing these scams or they will soon become yesterday's news..... Especially now, things happen so fast, if people feel better somewhere else, they will leave. As it is, the Poshmark of today is almost unrecognizable from a year ago. Just my. 02....(and I like Poshmark!)

:faint:

HOLY MOLY!
That is one busy scammer! This must be her full time job.
I can't believe anyone has that much energy & determination. It almost causes me to believe there's more than one person operating that scam- like a group of them all working together. :mad:

NICE JOB BeenBurned! It's astounding when you see it all compiled like that!
The question now is: What the heck can we do to try to put a stop to this? Is there anything? Her victims can obviously take certain actions but what about the rest of us?

Any ideas?

I agree with just about all of that.

The only way I can see for these sites (including eBay) to stop the scamming (returning the wrong item, an empty box etc) and sellers shipping out an item different from what was listed is to offer a third party middleman service.
Basically when an item is sold it's shipped to the service for inspection and then onto the buyer. Same thing in reverse for returns. There would have to be a fee- I don't believe it would be cost effective for low price purchases but for anything over $200 or so it would be worth it.
A type of purchase inspection insurance. If it's done through a 3rd party with no vested interest, I believe it would work. It could be done for a small fee- offering no authenticity inspection but just the assurance of "what you see is what you get" and "what you sent is what's returned."
Heck maybe I should set it up and start offering the service. :laugh:

Empires have been started on less lol. As we've already gathered you and I are about the same age and between the brands that I know and the brands that you know we could probably offer fabulous service! In all seriousness I think something like that is going to have to happen for any legitimacy to enter this market space. Its just gotten too big, from the early days of ebay to all of the apps that are out now.

Thanks for the info! Yup those are the scammers that I know of. It's funny because I've been blocked from all of their closets. Another one is beautifulkelsey. It's a Neverending battle with these scammers😠

At least she has listings. lol I keep getting trade requests from poshers with no listings at all. While I'm not entirely opposed to trading most of the items I listed, I'm not quite sure I want to even bother asking what they might have available.

I've seen this mentioned in several places so I posted the info in it's own thread, here on the eBay forum, with the email & info cdtracing shared elsewhere on the board.

I received a note from them yesterday - they are partnering with Le Tote- where you borrow a box of items, wear them for a period of time, return them and then receive new items. The brands mentioned were Free People, Sam Edelson, and Rebecca Minkoff-doesn't sound like something I will interested in -
