Unfortunately the reviews aren't visible to anyone else. What's the point of leaving reviews if other potential buyers can't even see? That's just silly and so pointless.. Come on Poshmark.
Does anyone use Poshmark?

If she didn't ask and you didn't specify you can't be held accountable. Stop talking to the buyer and just communicate with Posh. They are quite fair when it comes to cases like this. If you email them and tell your side, they will most likely side with you and release your money and make the seller keep the item. I don't see how this is your fault and you shouldn't have to take the fall for it.
Thanks for the advice! I am waiting it out now and haven't messaged her again. Do you know how long it takes Posh to make a ruling on cases like this?
It can take Posh a week or two to respond sometimes, or even longer. They don't have the staff to keep up with the claims, and the majority of their responses are automated :/
I will say that I had a Posh success today. I came across a seller who was selling tons (about 75 listings) of fake scarves and passing them off as real. The sad part was that people believed her, and she had sold over 60 of them! She claimed they were directly from the manufacturer and worked in fashion LOL. They were all terrible fakes and came in plastic bags. In her early listings, she would admit that she "cannot claim authenticity", but then she started saying they were real. Anyways, I had been reporting her for a few days (and having friends do it), and nothing was happening, per usual. I finally emailed Posh saying they need to take her closet down, and THEY DID!! Happy dance.
Still think it's sad for everyone who bought the fake scarves :/ but at least (for now) her account is gone.
Great job!! I wonder if any of her buyers have any recourse?
I heard from Posh and they ruled in my favor - yay!

YAY!!!
Posh is kind of all over the place but when it comes to dispute they are quite fair. I can't say the same for eBay sometimes /:
Is there some sort of unwritten 40% rule, as in everyone makes offers for 40% off your asking price or 40% of your asking price? I just had some whacko make lowball offers on half a dozen things, which I countered for more realistic amounts. Waited 30 minutes then blocked her, just to be on the safe side.
And I'm still trying to figure out what kind of scam they are running when they ask if your item is available and to please email them. One person actually offered to pay more than what I listed. I'm assuming they think you'll use the email addy you associate with the app and maybe they can hack your password, get access to your credit card or whatever. The mind boggles.

The strangest thing about that is when I get those email messages in my "news" feed and then I go to the listing, there is no comment there. Is Poshmark deleting them immediately? Sometimes it is literally the same minute and it has happened multiple times in the past 2 weeks. On the other hand, other comments that include an email do show up on my listings. Do you see these comments on your listings or just in the "news" section?
Both. I think Posh is deleting them as fast as they can, but sometimes not quickly enough.
More likely, they'll ask to send a money order. It'll be a fake one that will eventually bounce but they hope you'll ship the item before you get notice from the bank that it was a bad check. (Oh, and the check will be for more than the purchase price. You'll be asked to keep X-dollars for your inconvenience and just return the balance of the overpayment with the shipment.) So by the time you find out you were scammed, your bank will take the funds back from your account, you'll have shipped the buyer the item and also will have reimbursed them for the overpayment.
I'd say I can't believe people would fall for that but we know they do. It's dangerous out there!
Oh that's the people who are doing the check cashing scam. They'll offer you more money and ask for you to email. In the email, they'll tell you they will send you a cashiers check. The scam is - you deposited the check & it clears.....so you ship the item. Then, the check gets reported as stolen / fraudulent, so the bank reverses the funds. Then, you loose the money and the bag - and the scammers gained a free bag. It's an old trick - but has been really been frequent on Poshmark for the past month. There's another trick where people will ask you to wire money through western union for payment. Then, they ship nothing. The best piece of advice is to keep all transactions through the posh payment system....they offer buyer protection & authentication for items over $500. But if you leave the app to pay through different venues, it's no longer protected by Poshmark.
It usually means someone reported the scammers & their profile is shut down by posh. All comments they made will go "poof".
