I would not buy any bag there that does not have to go through Poshmark concierge. 90% of the bags I have purchased have failed posh concierge due to being fake or damaged.
Oh, and, low balling is still rampant but I don't sell anything designer anyway. I've sold a couple pairs of Converse and a Victoria's Secret sports bra I accidentally ordered in the wrong size and missed the window to return, NBD. On one of the pairs of Converse that I had listed for $35, someone came in with $20 as an offer (which isn't as bad as $5 for an authentic Neverfull or something, but it was still close to half what I listed it for). I was never going to wear them anyway but I countered back at $25 and she countered again at $24. You just GOTTA get that good deal, girl!! I was laughing about haggling over a dollar.
I accepted though, I needed them out of my closet anyway, they were taking up space.
I'm going to list some more of my NWOT shoes that I impulse bought, though. May as well get a little money back. Maybe I'll find another stellar deal on something high end and authentic.
I don't think I'm gutsy enough to list any of my designer stuff. The only problem with my closet being mostly $30-$50 items is people think I don't know what I'm talking about when I call out fakes.

Try Mercari.
I've had better success with unwanted clutter from my closets. There's still haggling but not as much.
I actually like Mercari less. I've heard loads of horror stories from sellers, even more than the horror stories in this thread about Posh. I'll buy from Mercari but apparently many of the buyers there are scummy and damage stuff beyond recognition for returns. I know it can happen anywhere but I dunno, for some reason I feel like Posh has a seller's back a little more as long as there's good documentation.
I'm a little skiddish about selling things of high value anyway, but I can deal with people trying to haggle on pairs of shoes I've had sitting in my closet for a year plus never worn, hahaha.
If it's high value, I pretty much just consign it. Let them deal with questions about non-existent loose threads and whatnot.
But Mercari's been good for unloading everything from unused cosmetics to a couple of sample sale mistakes.
Mercari's customer service is HORRENDOUS. I had to return something once because it really was not as described. (Dirty, stained, etc). It took them over a week to approve the return. Then, from the point the item was delivered back to the seller - it took them 45 days to credit me. I would reach out every few days & nudge, but never got a human response. It was pitiful. Never again!
Mercari is best for general items like books, non-designer fashion, cosmetics & household type stuff. I've not had any issues with it. I can't use it anymore though as it doesn't accept APO addresses as domestic. As for customer service, it was free to use (and I think it still is), so its pretty much "at your own risk".
Poshmark does allow APO, but the constant low-balling is annoying. Constantly received offers of 65-95% off my asking, plus the 20% posh fee...

Join the club girl! I've gotten so many hateful messages on my listings for calling out fake shoes, it's unreal. My canned statement is usually "hey I'm not sure if you're aware, but these unfortunately aren't authentic", and that tends to go over better than others. Of course, the scammers still get upset. I hate when it happens, but I won't stop calling them out until I can actually report something and it gets deleted right away! You're right though, you have to know what you're doing when you buy. I won't buy bags because I don't know what I'm looking for.
In regards to deleting comments...Posh has thankfully started deleting some of the comments that are harassment. I had someone get mad about me telling them their shoes weren't real, and they made a profile called "b*tchyoutriedit" and commented on all of my listings (I was sleeping and didn't see it till morning). I reported her and emailed posh and had my friends report as well, and her page and comments all went away!
See, I won't buy designer shoes from there because I don't know everything to look for and I wouldn't buy any brands I haven't done my own research on first. I have bought a couple pairs of inexpensive shoes from there that came in as described that I can wear socks in because I dunno, sometimes I'm just a little weird about wearing shoes other people have owned and worn a lot, hahaha. If they're NWT or NWOT or worn once or twice it's okay, but anything 'well loved' isn't anything I'm interested in in the shoe department, hahaha!!
It seems like a lot of the listings are things that are very, very well loved. I am not a fussy person at all but I can't imagine buying something that worn out. It doesn't look like it'd survive more than a couple wears with me.
Posh is making me angry. I've had a case for a SNAD bag opened since last week. Last week they offered $35 posh credit and to keep the bag. I said no and emailed them saying that I don't want this dirty bag, just want return. Today they offer $45 in posh credit....WTF? I don't want the bag!

I've gotten quite a few shoes that have only been worn once or twice and are still in great condition. It doesn't bother me at all haha, but I've been wearing secondhand shoes for years! Actually, it's very rare that I get new shoes lol. I have a hard time (especially if they are Louboutins) wearing shoes for the first time and messing up the bottom, so I prefer if someone already did the hard work for me haha!
In truth, I just have a shopping problem and buying used is the only way I can afford buying so much lol.
Oh believe me, I hear you. I impulse buy sometimes, which is terrible because I live right down the road from an outlet mall. THE SALES ARE AMAZING. Hahaha.
I put myself on ban island the vast majority of the time but sometimes I'll go because I need to pick up something and end up coming home with bags from stores that I had no intention of even looking at.
This past weekend I had a buyer purchase one of my items. Her user name is guest with numbers and letters, When I clicked on her username, she had 0 followers and 1 following, joined this month and no closet info. Then I did a search on her username and got "no people found". I thought that was weird so I emailed Posh. It bothered me, so without waiting for an answer from Posh I cancelled the purchase. Of course, not long after, I get an email from Posh telling me that they now support guest checkout on the web. Does anyone know if this is something recent or that you already know about it?
