Does anyone use Poshmark?

I sold a new with tags swimsuit. In my description I included the size, color and material. the buyer just messaged me saying the swimsuit isn't lined and it "seems cheaply made". I'm not sure how to respond to this.. She didn't ask me any questions about lining or material prior to purchasing.
Did they already confirm on poshmark that they received the item and gave you a seller rating? If so, then all sales are final and there is nothing the buyer can do. At least, that is from what I understand. I'm not sure if I have heard of anyone opening a claim after the 3 day deadline, unless I am wrong...?
Worst case scenario if she is still within the 3 days she opens a claim and then Poshmark asks her to send the item back while they refund her. I don't see how they would side with her, though, especially if you posted your own pics...
I'm sorry, I don't know if I can add to this and I know I didn't answer your question. I was actually in a position where a girl bought an item from me via Poshmark and gave me a high rating...but then the day after started questioning the authenticity of the item I sold her (!!!). I kept affirming that the item I sold is authentic (and I know it is because I was the first owner and it was straight from the boutique) and I kept stating she could always authenticate it with my permission. She relented eventually, but it was nerve wracking. I honestly don't even know if she even bothered to get the item authenticated.
I actually really don't like Poshmark that much because I feel like seller protection is less than nothing (whereas with Tradesy, they offer some protection when a buyer isn't happy with the item). It also doesn't help that the maximum number of photos you can upload is 4. I like to take lots of pictures because I know people don't read and I like to show buyers all the flaws and details of the items I have posted. And I just think it gives more wiggle room for remorseful buyers to fib about what they received.
I tend to sell more stuff on there than Tradesy, though, which kinda sucks because I'd rather sell through there than Poshmark.

Never thought of that! Hmm...but even then, it just seems like a pain in the butt. I wish poshmark actually let you upload more than just 4 pics.
I also realized that the pfer I responded to has more experience on poshmark than I do. So what I just said is even more irrelevant. Argh, I feel dumb.
Don't feel dumb--we all learn things from experience. Either it happens to us or someone tells us about what happens to them. I'm not brand new to poshmark but I still feel like a newbie because I'm not a prolific seller.
Just signed up for this app, but noticed can only post four pictures for the listing. Is this correct, how can you possibly show that much detail of the item with just four pictures?! If there is a way to post more pictures somebody please clue me in.
NM just saw the above post, it's completely ridiculous that they only allow four pictures [emoji58]

I know right ?! I always have to make an extra listing for more pics. Also beware of people stealing pics off of google/ebay, then they try to lure you off of poshmark with a better deal using PayPal or Google wallet.
I either make a 2nd listing with more pictures or use a collage app to fit more than one pic into their slots.
I have over 70 items to list, doing the collage thing would be a big giant PITA, although it's a great idea. I just don't understand why they wouldn't allow more pictures in a listing so a sellers we could avoid having to do all these tricks & jump through hoops to post enough pictures.

She finally confirmed and left me a crappy rating. [emoji19]
Just sold another item on Poshmark. Ugh, I wish it were with Tradesy, but it seems like only LV sells on Tradesy. My LV sells within minutes after posting but not my other listings. 
Lame. At least she didn't contest and ask for her money back.
I seriously think if we were ALLOWED to post more pictures on a listing buyers would actually take the time to look at what they are buying.

Yeah.... The 4 pictures thing is the worst. I do collages but there's no way to zoom in on photos, at least not within the app. I always mention anything so they can look for it in the photo but it stinks they can't look at it more closely. I can't tell you how many times I spot something myself in someone else's listing and try to pinch/zoom, forgetting it doesn't work, then immediately get annoyed bc I instead have to comment and ask if that thing I saw is a shadow, glare, damage etc...
I also do extra listings when I'm afraid the collage makes things too small but then whenever I update something or drop a price, I have to re-share everything in my closet, sometimes repeatedly, in a specific order to sort it back into a way where the additional photo listings are next to their actual sales listings. So I wish there was a way to update listings but manage the whole closer without having to re-share. I'm kinda low-key and don't like to over-share lol!

This is not true. I'll give a detailed description, do the extra listing for extra pics thing and people still ask the obvious (meaning everything is stated in the listing). It seems like the majority on Posh do not know how to read or chooses not to. I'll even cap the NO TRADES/PAYPAL at the very end of my listings (you really can't miss it) but then a thousand "trade dear?" comments will still roll in.
