Does anyone use Poshmark?

[Planet Bananas]

instead of cancelling the order they just never ship and never say a word. Just strange.
meanwhile i am positive this seller won't be shipping so I'm waiting till day 7 to get a refund. Currently on day 5 lol.

The thing that kills me the most is when I have made an offer that's accepted and they do this, it's happened more than once. I don't know if that means they sold it for more on another site or what, but it is so irritating! If someone accepts my offer I'm excited and I think I'm going to actually receive the item, silly me!

After reading this forum and my own (albeit very limited) experience with buying from Posh it's my conclusion that it's just not a very legit site for selling items.
I'm always shocked by the lack of communication with many of these sellers! People even asking for better or more pics and being told, "No, I won't be posting any more photos, thanks for understanding".......seriously? Why put up an item for sale if you aren't serious about selling it?
Lots of people WANTING to buy and the seller not cooperating? Who has time for that?

Not me.

yeah what is with all the random follows?
I don't even sell, never have, and i get them.

I don't understand it either. I get a lot of that & I have no clue why they do that or what the purpose is. I've never sold anything & as far as I know, have not set up a closet. If I do have a closet, it's empty.

When you sign up, you're added to the 'new people'. Lots of sellers follow new accounts in hopes they'll check out their closet in return and follow back/purchase something.

I think it used to be really good and I was very happy selling and buying on there. Then, over time as it grew they stopped policing it like they should and this new wholesale / retail option is weird and I don't think anybody likes it. Their lack of attention to things has opened the door to more scammers and lazy sellers. The other thing they don't do which in my opinion would make things a lot better is handle abandoned closets. There are people who decide they don't want to be bothered with selling but they don't delete their closet. It's a shame, I have been on tradesy a lot lately but I have to say I liked Poshmark in its old incarnation much better.

I have sold 4 high dollar items on posh without incident. Crossing my fingers.

LOL that has not happened to me but wow. What the heck???

There needs to be a policy in place for this sort of thing.
Its overall a poorly run place.

Frankly I'd really like to stop utilizing the site because it stinks but I can't help looking for things LOL.
Ebay is a hell of a lot better run and for sellers they don't take 20% commission.
The majority of my experiences of good old ebay have been positive.

I love when I'm selling sold out items with a high resale value and girls like to leave rude comments about my price. Like, "why so expensive" "your price is ridiculous, no one will buy these" you can get these straight from the website cheaper" hello. These are SOLD OUT. if you don't agree with my pricing then that's totally fine. I'm not forcing you to purchase my items. I really don't get it.

The best is when people call sellers scammers because they're selling an item for a price that's higher than on the internet or Amazon. I guess they don't understand the concept of buying low and selling high or how business and making money work. At first I thought it was funny until I realized how many of these comments I have seen and now it's just sad 😔

It's so irritating! Maybe it's because majority of these girls are still in middle/high school? Haha. For example, I was able to buy a pair of authentic yeezys for retail ($200) and I listed them for $1500 because that's the resale market for these sneakers. I constantly was getting comments like "trash" "lol your price sucks good luck" "lol you can get these on other sites for waaay cheaper" [emoji19][emoji19] my price was already ridiculously low. But I ended up selling the sneakers on eBay for $1800. Sigh!!! It's like getting harassed on Poshmark all the time haha

So annoyed. I sold something on Mercari last night. Packed it and brought it to the post office this morning only to be told that they can't give me a receipt or even take it because Mercari post dated the label for Monday. Ugh!!!!! Now I have to lug the box to work on the train on Monday and take time out of my already shortened lunch to go to the post office.

I've definitely been a Debbie Downer about posh lately... But I've been searching for some pairs of shoes for weeks (can't find them anywhere) and even though I'm constantly annoyed by counterfeits/scams and posh's lacking enforcement, I am noticing that I like posh more than some of the other apps! Argh! I hate eating my words!!

I tried lollipuff & shophers on recommendations and I can't stand their user interfaces--am I doing it wrong? Searching is a disaster of sifting through results (much like posh BUT at least I can sort by "just in" so the new things I haven't yet browsed are grouped together and I can stop once I reach listings I've already browsed...) Etsy was annoying compared to posh bc at least with posh there's comments displayed so I can see if my questions have already been answered previously and i can also tag someone if I'm unsure about sizing or authenticity. I hate tradesy and vinted and refuse to try mercari out of stubbornness (not a good reason I realize).

So... eBay, poshmark, and The RealReal remain my top ranked sites for stalking/buying shoes. Any tips for the other apps/sites or suggestions of other places to try? I'm also thinking about selling more because my hoard of shoes is out of control--I've liked selling on posh even if the fees are high because they take care of everything... I'm worried about selling on eBay and having to do the work myself to get stuff shipped (anybody have good shipping advice when you don't have the convenience of a provided label?)

We definitely have a lot in common! I also have a horde of shoes I need to sell in addition to some more clothes.... I continue to have good experiences on tradesy. I have 2 listings on there that haven't sold in over a month but I just bought a pair of Chloe flats for 150 and a pair of Rag & Bone booties for around 200. I haven't received the Chloe Flats yet, but the booties were in phenomenal condition original box with dust bag. The seller negotiated on the price, great communication, and I found that with the seller on the Chloe flats also.

And yes as much as I complain about Poshmark I can't seem to stay off of it, but I don't think I would be as comfortable buying Chloe on Poshmark.

Edited to add I cannot stand the realreal or ShopHers or lollipuff. I won't even waste my time anymore. I occasionally will look through mercari but only for non high-end items..... the other thing I like about tradesy is they put things on sale. What that means for the seller I don't know, but as a buyer I get an email that says Welcome to our Shoe Sale (which is how I found the Chloe flats) and I just filtered out my size and the person still negotiated on price).

They must be in high school or not too far out of it. I can't believe that people put those comments under Yeezys, everybody knows those are so in demand and the market sets the price. You're not running a charity, I guess they don't get that you get to sell them for what everybody else tells them for...... or maybe because they're special they should get them for less 😱😛

I'm gonna have to give tradesy another try I guess! Maybe I'm just being stubborn--it would all be worth it though if I found a few pairs I've been unsuccessful thus far in finding!
