Does anyone use Poshmark?

[tiffCAKE]

Anyone else really NOT excited about posh expanding to include kids and men? They already aren't adequately equipped to enforce their policies regarding counterfeits and off-posh transactions so I think that will get worse with the increased volume of listings.

I really enjoy shopping niche apps/boutiques where I know I can purchase hard-to-find items, so I'm already pretty frustrated by their last update to sell cheap crap as retail portals... Frankly, I'd rather shop Amazon, where I've received great support AND don't have to deal with any drama from sellers or buyers, if posh is going to continue transforming itself into wal-mart (minus the people watching and low prices)

I just got a promotional email about featured items added to the site. 3 of the 5 were fake and stated it in the listing!

I took screenshots one weekend of their louboutin "showroom" to prove a point. The first few items weren't being sold on posh--the seller only wanted payment through PayPal directly or mercari, IN THE TITLE!! Not even waiting until the description. Then there were a bunch of "everything in closet must go" type listings tagged louboutin but then the seller didn't have any actual louboutin items for sale anywhere. There were a bunch of "I'm on vacation and closet is closed until XX" listings (both with and without any actual louboutins in their closet but those that did have them weren't for sale... There was a crapton of pairs that weren't even for sale, a bunch that were just additional photos, some "in search of" listings, and of course the sometimes hilarious but always bitter "scammer alert" listings!

I may be a bit slow in figuring this out, but basically all that is needed to qualify for the showroom is to have a listing specifying be brand as louboutin and priced above $500... I tested it out by increasing the prices on all my pairs to $500+ and then they automatically added to the showroom...

Dear Posh, if I wanted a compilation of all the listings tagged louboutin over $500, I would've just done a search filtering the brand and price. Your showroom is a joke. Sincerely, Tiffany. [emoji12]

Maybe I'm boiling over with posh-disgust lately, but to me a "showroom" is sort of like a curated collection of items that are unique, hard-to-find, amazing deals, something that someone with better taste than I put together thoughtfully to bring forward those hidden gems buried amongst the rest of the crap... Definitely not a bunch of overpriced items, vacation notifications, closet advertisements without any targeted products, and "just sharing" reveals lolololol

What a headache! It would have been nice if that person had used that time for something productive instead of spamming 200 listings your closet. That is unbelievable.

I have a feeling it was because I helped to prevent some people from buying fakes that were listed as authentic. This is not the first time that these sellers have gone after me. In the past, they usually make a separate listing and try to say SCAMMER ALERT, but those listings were in their closets. This one actually went out of his/her way to spam every single listing. That is quite a bit of work.

It's amazing because Posh is so quick to tell you to stop meddling (sent actual email to me with a warning) because I prevented revenue from coming into their pockets when I helped buyers from buying fakes listed at authentic. Then something like this happens and it's crickets all around.

Poshmark clearly benefits greatly from the sale of counterfeit goods on their site, they are a huge proportion of the items listed on their site. The people who are selling them have no shame, and they are so aggressive! It makes the site very unpleasant.

I've reported so many fakes on Poshmark, and they're never taken down.

I'm obsessed with this app! I think it's still only for Apple users. But it's an awesome community and extremely safe. I had a scare with eBay earlier today and it's making me more grateful for this app.

They take care of all of the shipping which makes it extremely easy and its a flat $7. Only drawback for sellers is it takes a 20% commission but it's not too bad if you take into account how much more accessable the customer service and buyer/seller protection is.

If you use the code "HBAWP" you can get a $5 credit to shop with! It's all womens fashion and I've found some amazing steals on there

I am SO addicted to Posh!!! They are a great business!!

That isn't right! I just bought a fake and I hope they send me the return label soon... I hate when people sell fakes!

I'm sorry to hear that [emoji20] , was your purchase under $500? I thought they were supposed to be authenicated if the price is above 500. I don't deal with poshmark anymore, it's becoming more apparent to me that they don't care that people sell fakes.. they just want their 20%! I did manage to sell a few bags on pm, I had a perfect seller rating. All my items had the paperwork, tags, you name it, and jealous people tried to flag me for selling them a counterfeit when I never did business with them . I'm trying to sell my mini and boy bag through ebay but it's hard when you don't have a seller history .

No it was under. I have never had an issue with returns but there can be a first I guess. I know eBay can be hard.. Have you tried Mercari? I sell on there too and they don't take a commission.. Or tradsey for high end items too

Aw I'm sorry, I wish I could help. Were the funds released to the seller? Hopefully it will be resolved quickly and you get your money back. I tried Tradesy but I felt bad because the shipping cost for the buyer is ridiculous !!! I will check out mercari. Thank you

 

[Arlene619]

Yes hun I will look you up for sure . I have an accnt but I never posted my bags because I saw the cost it would be for shipping, it would've been $70[emoji33]. I'm assuming it's determined by the price I'm trying to sell my items for. Wow I didn't know you could change the price for shipping, I always thought there would be a catch. How much % does tradesy take from your sale? Thanks for all the info, I don't want "money" just sitting in my closet because Lord knows how much I need it right now lol.

This is why Posh drives me crazy. They take people like us who try to help the community and send us warnings because we interrupt the sales. I kinda hope posh gets sued/fined soon in regards to selling counterfeits, because I think it's the only way that they will get serious about it.

Tiff cake - I agree with the men's and kids. They don't have the support to handle more stuff. And the wholesale thing is crap too :/

I am not sure they take a fee there but I am not sure how much yet. I haven't posted any for sale on tradsey yet but I have asked two different sellers to reduce the shipping from tradsey and they did . I have some bags I might list there too so I will keep you posted

Tradesy takes about 10%, a fraction less if you want site credit and a fraction more if you want to cash out (compared to 20% on Poshmark). The best method for shipping is the Tradesy prepaid label where you box it up yourself, this only cost eight dollars and the buyer pays. It is insured for the full value. Tradesy makes changes often, in the past they would only allow you to use their prepaid label for items up to $2500, but I have recently listed higher items and they allowed me to use the prepaid label.
