Poshmark does have one redeeming feature: I have to confess I get no small amount of pleasure just looking at the Louboutin listings occasionally and just flagging all the fakes. Some of them are truly horrible!
I've bought several pairs through PM, and have been pretty happy. Recently though I've seen lots and lots of listings for used shoes priced way above retail. WTF?

I can't tell you how many listings I've flagged over the last 3 years. (A conservative estimate of the number of reports would be in the thousands.) What I can tell you is EXACTLY how many of those listings were removed: NONE, zero, zilch, nada, zip! Not a single listing has ever been removed by Poshmark. (Every once in a while, a seller will end her listing but more often, the sellers know exactly what they're selling, accuse me of being a troll and they block me. The listings ultimately go to a buyer.)

Wow! Maybe they need to be reported to BBB.

Another thing that is unsettling to me is that you can rate a seller but only the 5 star ratings get listed on their profile. So, there's no real motivation for the seller to improve or we don't see if they've scammed anyone in the past b/c all you see are good reviews.

So I decided to make my first purchase from poshmark after being a long time seller. I purchased a Louis Vuitton pochette accessories OM Everything about the seller checked out! She had great reviews, She had other lv items for sale, the pictures were good and the description was detailed everything looked legit. So I purchased the item and she shipped the same day. That was yesterday, today I went to check the listing and its gone it says listing unavailable! So I went into her closet and all her listings including her sold listings are gone?! So now I'm afraid she is a scammer. How can she delete her sold listings? I didn't think that was possible? Good thing I took screenshots of the listing so I can be sure she sends me the item in the pictures. I hope everything turns out ok. My package is supposed to come tomorrow I will be back with a update.

She cant delete a sold listing but if she was reported as a scammer or sold a fake item verified by Posh, Posh will take the initiative to suspend her account. Chances are she probably sold a fake, either it was confirmed by Posh concierge or the buyer opened a dispute and won. Your item should still come in and if there are any problems, you can still file a case. Given the circumstance, I'd highly recommend that you authenticate the item.

Same as another said, she can't modify sold listings. One way you can tell whether her account has been suspended is to look at the top banner for her closet--if it still says ### listings but then the frame that would hold all the listings says she doesn't have any yet, her account is suspended. For whatever reason when they suspend the accounts you can still search for the user and the banner still shows their number of listings they had just before they were suspended (they just turn off the visibility of the actual listings themselves)

Sometimes good sellers get suspended too--some users that post warnings to buyers on counterfeit listings are punished by posh. Posh wants the counterfeit commission.

Yep her closet was suspended. It says she has 262 listings and then at the bottom the listings aren't there.

I just bought a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag on eBay two days ago via "buy it now" and after a day of not getting any sort of shipping notification I finally received a message from the seller saying they are "out of town and won't be back for months" and then they canceled my purchase and refunded my money. I am so bummed about it. I can't find that same bag in the same very good condition except on Poshmark. I am a HUGE ebayer, I am constantly buying there, so using poshmark has me a little nervous. The seller I am looking at seems well liked... I don't even know what my point is (I can't sleep, it's 5:30am and I've been awake for 2 hours ) but I guess I need some reassurance before I spend $$$ on poshmark!
