Does anyone use Poshmark?

OK I have been on Poshmark for a few days now. I also have a TON of those "email me at xxx" comments (see below).
I'm happy with the amt of engagement with my listings- this is the kind of feedback PM offers that you don't get from other sites like ebay, all ebay tells you is how many watchers but that isn't too useful. So I would say PM is a step above the other etail sites for their use of social media....

HOWEVER........................

I have a huge problem with the amt of these lowball offers I am getting and no way to shut if off. I got an offer of $70 for something listed at $149, today an offer of $90 for $149, a whole bunch of these, absolutely no offer was more than 60% of my asking price. I'm the type of seller who doesn't deal because I am not a professional seller. I just wait for things to sell or slowly drop prices. I really wish PM had a way of turning these offers off. I've already received a "Poshmark tip"... drive more sales by counteroffering... not really worth it starting from this low imho.

i like the offer buttons, if your firm on your price just keep making that firm offer. I don't take it personally, everyone wants a deal.

I like the offer button as well. It was much worse when people would haggle in your listing, get you to say you would accept an offer and lower your price, then disappear. Most of the time I price a little higher than my lowest price anyway because I know everyone one on Posh wants a deal. Their shipping is a little high too so I try to look at it it from the buyer's perspective. I hate low ball offers and if I buyer keeps going back and forth after I have declined their offer or countered with a fair offer, I block them...lol

And this is no surprise. The only surprise is that there's only the complaint from the one person who posted back in February:

Sorry but im not understanding. Can you explain the scam? My daughter posted some clothes to sell . And someone matches one of the emails on your list Thank you .
 
Hi everyone ! I'm in need of some help ! Poshmark restricted my privileges And I have had several direct deposits pending for almost 10 days and some others that have been pending for about 5-7 days and I'm jut wondering if since they revoked my privileges will I still receive my money ? It's over $1,500 and I'm really worried bacuse I sold a lot of my stuff and now they won't answer me... please someone help this money is helping feed my children and pay my bills.. please someone help me !!!!


Did you get your money? I had this situation. And the money on pending still there and they never release it. And my friend had the same situation too, her account got restricted but she can release the money. So i just wondering do you get your money?

Seems like these questions should be sent to Poshmark Customer Service. There are too many variables in each situation to speculate. Unless there has been Poshmark rule violations or counterfeit sales Poshmark eventually releases funds.
 
Help! Has anyone ever had problems receiving a refund from Poshmark? I ordered a maxi dress on their website and the seller sent a shrunken and faded dress. I sent a refund request and Poshmark instantly denied it without looking at the dress stating that sizing vary by fit and that the seller did not misstate the size. I wrote back to them that the seller posted the dress folded up and not the full length (I sent them the seller's picture) and falsely advertised it as a maxi. I tried the exact dress on in store and know what the length should be. I also mentioned to them that two other people asked the seller about the dress length and whether she had hemmed it - she did not respond to their questions. That should have been a red flag to me, but I didn't think anything could be wrong with that dress and figured she was honest due to her previous sales. Poshmark wrote back stating that the onus is on the buyer and for me to give it away or resell it. That's crazy! So, anyone can sale you crap from their site and you are stuck with it! Can they get away with this? Their return policy doesn't protect buyers! I reported the issue to Amex and am waiting on their decision.

I had a similar situation last year... I bought a pair of jeans for my daughter (her favorite brand-- hard to find), and the seller had a photo of the jeans folded in half in all photos. Since the size was exactly my daughter's size, I bought them. When I received them, I saw they were cropped jeans (calf-length), which I knew my daughter wouldn't wear. The seller's description never mentioned that they were cropped, so I asked to return them. She resisted, so I requested a refund via Poshmark, and they asked me to submit photos. Here's what I did: I grabbed the pair my daughter already had (in the same size) and laid them both side by side and took photos of the length difference, plus the size tag and pockets (since those were identical). Within one day, they (Poshmark) approved my refund.

So my advice to you is to try to take a side-by-side photo of the same dress (if you are able to get it elsewhere) to show them the difference. If not, Amex is the best route. Good luck!

Personally I can understand where Poshmark is coming from. If you want a size medium, the tag on the dress is a size medium, how is poshmark supposed to know if the dress is TTS? When buying clothes online I always get measurements- this way if it comes mis-sized you can take photos of a ruler next to it, saying the seller listed the brand's dimensions but because it is pre-owned and shrunken it's not as described. Based on the fact she wasn't answering questions, I assume she is probably not the original owner and thrifted the item. This is the issue with buying preloved online.

I recently shipped an item only to receive an email from PM that the sale was cancelled (because buyers payment info could be verified). This email came about 24 hours after the purchase. They advised a credit would be issued to me but I Haven't received it yet and it's been a couple days. The item sold was $425 so it wasn't being sent to PMHQ first. I emailed them to inquire but they're generally pretty slow to respond. Has anybody experienced anything like this?

Yes. They attempt to do an interception via USPS to re-route the package back to you. If the item is delivered, you will be compensated for it. Only annoying thing is that it took three weeks for my $475 bag to come back to me when it happened to me.

They don't let sales and offers go through all the time because the buyer's payment info couldn't be verified; where is the gaping hole in their payment verification system that somehow sometimes it takes an entire day for them to figure it out?

Wow three weeks! I don't understand their process, how large payments can go through and it takes PM a full business day to contact sellers if something goes wrong.
 
I've only been on PM a few weeks, and I have had 3 reasonable sales of items between about $75-$100, which is ok for me- but the amount of noise I get from these lowball offers has me rethinking whether I want to do business there. I listed something for $90 and today I got an offer for $22. I rejected it, because my only options are to reject, or counter with, say $85. After I rejected this offer, I got 4 other messages from this buyer with new offers for $10 more- "sorry I offended you" bla bla bla. I'm *NOT* offended. I just think this is a waste of time. And with PM's fees where they are, I make less money there.

If you're already making sales and enjoy selling on Posh, I say stick with it. I enjoy using Posh to sell and find deals so I don't let the occasional low baller deter me. If a buyer is very annoying I block them.

i block the low ball offers that are beyond ridiculous !! If I have an item that has been siting in my closet for 6 months sometimes I take the reasonable low ball offer.
