I still haven't sold in months, Yes lowball offers are everywhere , but I like the fact I can buy high end items on poshmark knowing its authentic. Positive and negatives on any site.
Does anyone use Poshmark?

The thing that bothers me is allowing people who don't have valid payment on file to make offers. I've accepted a ton of offers lately but at least half the time I get a message telling me the buyer needs to update their CC info. 10/10 times they never do and it sells to someone else.
But you know they're authentic how? Their in-house authenticators have shown themselves to be ignorant and incapable when it comes to authenticating designer goods. Regularly letting counterfits be listed, regularly saying obvious counterfits are authentic or obvious authentic items are counterfit.
I wouldn't get anything expensive on Posh unless it was from a very reputable seller (which is difficult to determine on Posh), lots of additional photos to allow third party authentication from a reputable authenticator for the brand... And even then, I'd be hesitant. Posh's "authentication" service and guarantees would not even fit anywhere in that equation, because I have no faith in them.
Hi, this might be a repeat question and I tried to do a search but couldn't find anything... I purchased something last week and the seller commented that she shipped. This was less than 2 days ago. I also received an email from PM that said that 'confirming that seller is going to ship item'. My gig is that I have not received tracking. This is my first purchase on PM and just want to know how long it takes to get a shipping notification! It usually is pretty instant on all other sites (ebay, tradesy, etc). I'm only impatient because it already took 6 days for the seller to confirm the order (which I know is in policy)... The dress I purchased was for an event so I'm on a time crunch. Not worried about authenticity as it isn't a name brand item that is subject to counterfeits (Elizabeth & James dress). Any input on shipping notification speeds would be helpful. Thanks!!!
Usually the tracking uploads when USPS scans it, so by the next day from when the seller ships it at the latest (if they dropped it off at the post office after shipments were done for the day). Usually tracking is uploaded within minutes to hours for when I drop it off or the postman picks up the package. If it has been more than one day I do not think she has shipped it yet. If you want to cancel then you should now have that option under the purchase info for this item since it has been more than 7 days now.
Well as I speak, they just commented on the post stating they are going to cancel the order. Ridiculous, especially after she confirmed the order AND stated that she shipped days ago. Obviously a blatant lie. First experience gone bad, now to find another avenue for this dress...
While tracking is convenient for buyers so they'll be able to follow it, tracking is really for the benefit of the seller as proof of delivery to the buyer. If the buyer claims non-receipt of an item and if there's no tracking to prove otherwise, the buyer will automatically win a dispute.
Thus as the buyer, you are protected.
And the annoying thing is that you can't leave feedback, like on Ebay. Does she have a "meet your Posher" page or a feedback page (some do)? You can make a comment on there. You waited a whole week for absolutely nada.
This is why I hate Posh. The 7 day "handling" time before you can request to cancel if the seller doesn't ship is a joke. 3 of my 5 purchases have been cancelled, 2 by me after 7 wasted days of hearing nothing from the seller and no shipment, once by seller the day after saying item isn't available.
I would only use it now if I want something that's extremely hard to find and not available on eBay.
Sorry to hear that! Good luck finding the dress. Buying on Poshmark has not been very reliable for me either.
That was the whole problem. I am really savvy about finding items that I want. I look on various websites... Obviously try to use actual stores prior to having to look up used/preowned. I couldn't find my size anywhere. PM and this listing was the only place after a month of searching. I was so excited that I finally found it. I think what's most annoying is that she stated "I went to the PO today and shipped"... Obviously you did not! Why the blatant lie!!
This was my first time using PM and clearly unreliable, sorry to hear that others are experiencing this. Definitely will stick to other sites and use this as a last resort...
I would send a message and say that poshmark has not sent the USPS tracking? I'm am fortunate that this has not happened to me. Before I purchase an item on poshmark I look at their reviews. I also ask questions to see if they respond quickly. If they don't answer then I don't buy the item. Hope it works out for you soon.
I had a seller wait until the last day to ship my item but then she had the audacity to tell me to "accept" my order on Posh the day it was delivered so her money would be released.
Since she made me wait, I made her wait.
I never buy at the asking price without some sort of dialogue with the seller.
Some people list items for sell and don't log back on to Poshmark for months.
