I've never used TheRealReal, but I've generally had good experiences with buying/selling on Tradesy. Seems to have a more mature demographic that can actually afford designer. Customer service has been nice to me and one of the only annoyances I had was a buyer returned claiming I sold a fake(they send returns to Tradesy) and it held up my money while Tradesy authenticated. The ruling was in my favor and I was able to withdraw.
Does anyone use Poshmark?

They're kitten heels so $350 seems high. Also the Prada must be older as they don't have the white label.
She claims you gotta be fast at buying. I looked and there's pradas for under $50 but they're vintage and no styles I'd ever wear.
to each it's own..but I am having a hard time wondering why anyone would pay $35 each. MAYBE for both
haha.
These are much older styles, so I am sure she only paid $35 and isn't lying. It's true though, you have to be quick when buying because the cheap stuff goes fast.
Plenty of people list super low on purpose, or list low because they don't know what they have. I found some Saint Laurent flats for $30 that were worn once and in almost perfect condition (here's a link and they aren't an "old" style either: http://www.barneys.com/saint-laurent-studded-ballet-flat-503016022.html). I happened to see them an hour after they were listed and a couple people had commented asking if they were authentic, but I could tell they were so I bought them right away.
If you really wanted to see if someone was lying, all you have to do is look through the "sold" listings under that brand....
I just started on posh, had luck selling fast fashion items but pulled all my high end items because of the low offers. Items do sit around for a while and I just hate them taking up space in my small house so I end up donating most of them.
I just wish they would remove users who aren't active so I don't see their listings in my searches

I have the most luck selling high end things on tradesy without lowballers like poshmark...grrr...poshmark is used for my low end things and random stuffs that I want to get rid of asap. Rarely do I have luck on high end with posh.
I saw a Valentino milano purse on posh for a high price. I wonder if people know that there's two Valentinos....Half tempted to inform buyers that this is not the couture one..but then it's not really my business to inform people. It just sucks that people will think that they have the "real" Valentino.
I've recently purchased two beautiful bags on PM! I also had to return a wallet that was rather thrashed but described as in "excellent" condition. I think it's worth taking a chance on the items, if they aren't as they're described the buyer has the chance to upload photos of the damage in order to get their money back. I didn't have any problem and the two bags I bought are just great, one is almost brand new and maybe was used twice so I got a phenomenal deal on a bag that I would have paid a LOT more for had it been new.
Sure, it's annoying with all of the chit chat and such and sellers not adding measurements, etc.
But if you're willing to work at it a bit more to get what you want then (for me anyway) it's totally worth it.

Something odd. Has this ever happened to anyone here b4? I ordered something on the 23rd. The seller shipped fairly promptly yet no tracking info has showed up to this day (hasn't been that many days but definitely way too long to go without a single scan). She claims she dropped it off and I'm inclined to believe her but I cannot understand why there are no scans which means no tracking info in the system. Should I cancel order when that option becomes available? I don't know what to do. Obviously if I get it she deserves to get her money but who knows where it is... so if I cancel that would mean she doesn't get paid I assume.
In the meantime I'm out of my money and have no product nor any proof a product was ever shipped to me.
It still says "In Process"
i asked her if she had a copy of the tracking info and she does not.

I would cancel. Let's say the seller drops it off (doesn't get it scanned at the counter) in a bin. Sometimes, things fall off the conveyer belt when it's being processed so it'll never get scanned and the item is essentially "lost" (unless a worker finds it and puts it in back on to be processed...but who know how long that will take). The other thing is she lied and never shipped it. Either way, I'd look out for myself first. Otherwise you're just out of money for who knows how long.
*Also note, some other members on here have said that sometimes the initial scans don't occur and that the only scans they can see is when the item is "out for delivery" or gets delivered. Given that PM uses priority mail, I'd wait the 7 days which gives the package more than enough time to get to you. If it's not there on the 7th day, I would cancel and let the seller deal with it (whether it be lost or she simply lied about shipping it out).
Thank you! Good idea. I'll wait the the 7 days to be fair and then cancel if I don't have it by then.
Not trying to be negative, but my guess is that she hasn't shipped... It tends to happen sometimes on Poshmark. I went thorough it last week; someone accepted my offer but then never shipped or communicated even though I asked a few times. I finally just cancelled after 7 days. I hope that's not the case for you... Good luck!
