Does anyone use Poshmark?

[mharri20]

Has anyone ever been successful in having flagged listings of fakes removed from PM?

I've reported so many and AFAIK, none have ever been removed.

I've figured out the way the "report" feature works, and it's all automated. A certain number of accounts have to report an item within a certain time frame before a listing will get deleted. So don't waste your time reporting an item more than once because it does absolutely nothing.

Since Posh is now trying to kick me off the app for commenting on replica listings, I've been emailing them when I see scammers or accounts with only fakes. Since I complained so much on the phone, they have KIND OF been responding to my emails, and I'm seeing some of those accounts get deleted.

Basically, I'm doing their job for them and their way of saying thank you is to try to kick me off the app.

I agree though...I wish some of the big brands would sue/fine them already. The amount of profit they are making off of illegal counterfeits is insane.

Hi! I really don't know how to spread the word about this without the seller blocking me, thus leaving me without any hope of getting back my stolen item. I traded with the seller @labelbrat23 and she stole my brand new Givenchy Antigona. She faked the shipping info and then proceeded to ignore my emails when I noticed that the tracking number did not work. Avoid her at all costs!!!

I can't help you with this person but I've made several posts on the ebay forum giving instructions on how to safely "trade" with a stranger.

My suggestion would have protected you.

No, mine is fine. Have you tried logging out then logging back in?

Are you the person who was trading for a black Chanel boy bag?

Did you know she stole the pictures from this seller's listing on ebay that sold in October, 2015?

I'm curious. Is this person in the Los Angeles area?

Omg I'm so sorry to hear that.. [emoji20] I remember her, she asked me if I wanted to trade my boy bag with hers. She seemed fishy, I'm always looking for new Chanel listings, and all the boy bag listings I've seen, I see her asking if she wants to trade. Please keep us updated, again I'm sorry. I would be pissed.

I want to report a scammer mkpavlusik who got my beautiful Christian Louboutin shoes and claiming that they are not authentic.



The buyer also was playing games with the payment. I am new to postmark and I am very frustrated with this situation...

I don't know whether she's a scammer, whether the shoes are authentic or not or whether she knows the brand.

But I will say that there are many buyers who either mistakenly or without knowledge of certain styles of items might allege fake.

But that doesn't make them a scammer --- a PITA, maybe but not necessarily a scammer.

ETA: I looked at the listing and based on her questions, I don't consider her to be a scammer. It looks like she isn't aware that boutiques don't authenticate and what they usually tell people is that they're "unable to confirm authenticity." She's taking that to mean that they aren't authentic. But that's not what they're saying.

My recommendation is that if she wants reassurance of authenticity, suggest she post either on the ATCL (authenticate this Christian Louboutin) if they do shoes there or on the Glass Slipper shoes subforum.

I just bought my first 2 items on Poshmark. One of the sellers accepted my offer of $30 (-$10 off the listing price) and immediately replied to me and thanked me for the purchase and will ship the shirt soon. The other seller hasn't replied yet. Hoping she will send the item soon.

Just received my 2 items, very happy with my purchases. I just made another purchase so hopefully things will go smoothly. I did list a bag but I don't think it's going to sell since it's personalized. It's not budging at all in Tradesy and eBay, and Jill's Consignment isn't accepting it either. Shucks.

Note to self: don't ever use the personalization anymore since it decreases the value of the bag.

I understand that she claims they're not authentic but that doesn't make her a scammer.

A scammer would be a buyer who claimed they're fake and sent back different shoes. Or a buyer who claimed non-receipt when tracking shows delivery.

So far, there's no evidence of a scammer. Just someone who either doesn't know the brand or really believes they're not authentic.

(Several years ago, I sold a Burberry item and the buyer claimed the same thing your buyer did. My buyer took it to a Burb store and was told they "couldn't determine authenticity." Like your buyer, my buyer didn't realize that the stores aren't allowed nor trained to authenticate. But their inability to do so doesn't mean that the item is fake or that the buyer is a scammer.)

My suggestion is to do what I did -- receive the item back and pay $7.50 for a professional authentication. Then when you relist, you can add that the shoes "were professionally authenticated by (insert company name) and buyers can contact them at (email address) for confirmation."

There isn't really any need to agree to receive an item back on Poshmark. Not as described cases are handled more personally than they are on eBay, PayPal, etc.

Sarm, have you replied to the Poshmark email? It helps to stay in contact with them. I know nothing about CL but if the photos in your listing would confirm authenticity, attach them to your reply. If you have additional photos, attach those, and if you can find a reputable site selling the same shoes that has photos of authentication markers, include a link.

Posh has their own in-house authenticator but it doesn't hurt to offer to pay for your own, as BeenBurned suggested. I would email Posh now and include a line that, if necessary, you can forward them a third party authentication (again, assuming your photos are sufficient), that you would appreciate being forwarded any photos the buyer provides, and are happy to answer any questions, as you stand by their authenticity.

Best of luck!

Thank you for explaining that. I don't use PM and was concerned that the seller might lose both the money and the shoes.
