I sold a handbag on Poshmark yesterday. Buyer was a new account. No negotiation just paid asking price. I shipped it as soon as the Post Office opened today. I just checked and the Posher I sent the handbag to their account is now closed. WTF???

Random thought, but maybe they changed their username? That happened to me once. She bought from me, I shipped, but I couldn't find her after that. Turned out she had changed her username (it had previously been just random letters and numbers, she made it a nickname or something). Sale went just fine, she accepted shortly after receiving.

Thanks. I hope that's what happened. I'm not going to panic just yet. I've found some good things on Poshmark but I think I'm done as a seller.

Posh buyers can be so ridiculous. A buyer recently complained that my packaging wasn't pretty enough and that I didn't send her a thank you note. I focus my efforts on describing items accurately and shipping safely (with appropriate padding) and quickly. Apparently that's not appreciated.

I had a buyer say the wallet I sold her wasn't lavender it was light purple [emoji102]

When it comes to colors, I've learned that you should never use exact color names (royal blue, lavender, etc...). If you're buyer is a PITA, they'll try to find an effin crayola that has a different name and say you misinterpreted the color. If something is dark, I'll say "dark (followed by generic color)". Buyers who have buyer's remorse will fight you on anything and everything. It is best to keep it plain and simple.

I agree but lavender was the color name on the tag.

It appears that 99.9% of the Poshmark wannabe buyers who are "interested in this item and to email them at xxxxxxx@ gmail" are scammers.

And it also appears that Poshmark doesn't care nor does Poshmark act on reports about these scammers who use multiple PM IDs to post.

Within the last few days, I've posted dozens of members who've requested contact through email and according to internet searches, others have reported the same but to date, EVERY ONE of those members is still active on poshmark.

Here are a few more:

Madison874 - https://poshmark.com/closet/Madison874 - so far, this seems to be the only banned ID

I don't know the email address the following have used.

Seriously, if Poshmark wanted to eliminate the scammers, they could do it easily! Look how easily I was able to find all these scammers. With PM's computer system, they could do it even more easily if they wanted to.

Poshmark is not a safe place. They are only concerned with making sales. It`s getting as bad as iOffer.

IMO, it's worse than iOffer. At least IOffer makes no claims of being an honest site nor advocating for the safety of its users. Poshmark does pretend to want to be safe and honest and in fact, they make posts to that effect on their Facebook page. IMO, that's worse because it gives members a false sense of security.
