Does anyone use Poshmark?

This irks me as well, when done in this manner.

Its one thing to, in the listing, say "If you like X brand, this is right up your alley" or "Matches the X brand aesthetic / image"
But I find it very misleading to advertise as X brand, and then hide in the listing "Not actually X brand, just listed it as such for advertising." And its in a TON of listings.

Or listing something as X brand, that isn't X brand. Not giving a disclaimer at all, and ignoring any questions in the comments asking for verification of the brand.

You mean like this listing?? "Balenciaga Boots style CEINTURE ANKLE BOOTS"

I bought a Chloe bag that passed poshmark authentication but authenticate4u said its a fake.

I'm baffled by the authentication process at Poshmark. I'm a very honest seller and had great ratings (that is until they suspended my account). Anyway, I was selling a Chloe Marcie Bag and I rec'd an email this morning telling me "it was not authentic". How can a purse I purchased from Saks for almost $2,000 be fake? I had the authentication card in the purse and everything. I'm sure there are fake authentication cards out there, however, that wasn't one of them. They told me I would need to send $20 thru paypal in order to get the purse back and if I didn't send it, they would keep it. WTH?!? You better believe I sent the $20 and now I have this terrible gutt feeling i'll never see this bag. What do I do? I'm just sick! You can't even call the freakin people and they don't respond to emails.

I have had a similar experience jelsmiles. I sold a Hermes bag which was absolutely authentic- had the box and everything and they picked it apart and then returned it to me saying it had a "scratch" I didn't disclose to the buyer and that they didn't want it anymore. Needless to say when they sent me my bag bag- it was smushed up and the box was ruined because they didn't package it up as well as I originally had when I sent it. I am still sick about it and it was months ago. Lesson for me was don't sell anything over poshmark that is worth anything. You will eventually get your bag back but I bet it won't be in the perfect condition you sent it to them in.

I don't know who they use for authenticating or even if they have any expert authenticators at Poshmark because the fakes there as well as a recent incident involving a (very obvious) fake Coach bag tell me that they are NOT skilled!

The fake Coach bag was authenticated here (member @houseof999 - @houseofcoach999 was the buyer), item was "confirmed" authentic by PM both online and in person and only because she fought it did she get a courtesy refund.

Beware of poshmark! Fakes are deemed authentic, authentic items are alleged as fake and both buyers and sellers get screwed..

Good luck! I really hope you get your bag back in the same condition it was before this happened. Keep us posted please...

Do you have your receipt? If you purchased it online you may be able to pull up your order history. I know you're disappointed but I'd just get my bag back and sell it somewhere else with an professional authentification.

Maybe it's their new scam to get some extra money out. My guess it's the same "authenticator" who is a know nothing idiot who did the authentication. Was there a name who you got the email from? I hope you get your bag back. So sorry you are having to deal with this. After my experience with them, I decided to never buy another bag with serial numbers again. I will only buy if I see those rare fabric lined Bonnie Cashin bags that are obviously authentic. I don't have experience selling with them but combined with both our experiences I'd say it's 100% unlikely I will ever sell through Posh.

I had great experiences with poshmark and poshmark did a great job authenticating the items I bought online , matter of fact if it was not as described poshmark will sent additional pictures to make sure you still want to accept the item. I have found great deals on poshmark , I love poshmark!!

What brands were they? Just trying to figure out what they do know well. They sure don't know vintage coach.

Seriously? I wonder what changed. The following are some of your posts:

I feel your pain. It's tough selling clothes. When selling clothes on Tradesy and poshmark the buyers want pictures of stains, size, and sometimes they want you too model the clothing. It's a pain in the &@$.

From July 11, 2016:

i thought about removing my stuff and doing the same thing. Are you going to sell them on eBay?

From July 10, 2016:

I have not sold anything for months! Low ball offers on a $2000.00 handbag .. Offers $200?? What??

They don't know Balenciaga either..
At least they refuse to take down obvious fakes..
I've used their useless 'report item' feature. I've emailed with details on why the bag was counterfeit-
They just do NOT care..
Same for Louboutin shoes...

From what I've seen, Poshmark refuses to take down ANY fakes! I don't believe they have any experts and all they care about is their own bottom line. JMHO. They don't protect buyers or sellers.

I have reported countless fakes on Posh & the listing remain. Posh doesn't care. SMDH
