On sites like ebay, they'll ding your account if you hold off shipping.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
Does anyone use Poshmark?

I wouldn't change your shipping time. This scam has nothing to do with you, the seller. It is Poshmark's responsibility to make sure all charges are legit before they approve the sale. The longest I'd wait is one day to make sure there has enough time passed for "approval". You don't want to drag your feet on SH, it does affect your seller status.
I have had extremely bad luck with poshmark, have really only bought sunglasses on there, and even after asking loads of questions to be very sure about the condition, and sellers claiming "brand new, good and mint", I've had to file 3 claims for completely misrepresented items.
Good news is their protection is really great to the buyers, seeing as I got screwed over once on a sale, refund given to them even in a buyers remorse case.
I avoid PM dearly.

I'm a top seller on posh. Their support team rocks. Almost everything that has happened with usps, they fix. It does take their support 24-48 hrs to respond but it's always been good regardless. They either eat the cost etc. I had a coat go missing. Never showed delivered on the site to the buyer (was when the hurricanes were going on strong) so I think it got lost in transit...anyway, they refunded the buyer and me! I prefer posh over eBay. Even though they take more of your profit, it's worth it in the response. eBay was always quick to side with the buyer I felt like and things got too hairy almost every transaction I was getting into on there as a seller. I only sell on posh now.
I know it's been said plenty of times, but I'm going to reiterate that Poshmark's "authentication experts" are HORRIBLE. I'm lucky I know what to look for and kept on them otherwise I'd be out a ton of money.
I bought a Self-Portrait dress, and it turned out to be a very terrible fake when I got it (horrible stitching, cheap zipper that barely functioned, and a care tag that wasn't even close to real). When I filed a claim (with many pictures pointing out exactly what was wrong and comparing it to my real one), they denied my request stating the seller provided "proof of purchase". Basically, they didn't even look at my photos.
Thankfully, I was able to email someone directly who helped me. I sent them more photos (even went to Neimans and photographed the exact dress to compare for them), and yet they made me ship it to them. Finally heard back and they gave me a refund.
The seller has all fake dresses (Kate Spade, Ted Baker, Alice & Olivia, Self-Portrait, etc) claiming they are "factory surplus". Yet, of course, even though they finally deemed the dress I bought as fake, they still allow the seller to sell and scam loads of people who have no idea what to look for.
Moral of the story: ALWAYS get a second opinion. Seems like most of the time, they won't even look at photos if someone provides a "receipt". I really wish they would stop claiming to be "authentication experts" when clearly they have no idea what they are doing. It's not good for their reputation, or the community.

Need some advice please! A buyer recently bought my LV bag (@ posted price) and I'm hesitant to send out this order. It will go through Posh Concierge, but I've read the buyer can still open up a case. The thing that worries me is the buyer joined in July 2017 and has no activity. No transactions that this person has rated. Anyone have experience with this type of sale and would you go through with it?
I would feel safe since poshmark checks the bag first before sending it to the buyer.
I don't see a problem with a newbie without any history.
Many years ago, there was a seller on iOffer who used the ID "Fashionphile" to sell fake LV bags. That gave me the idea to open accounts on multiple selling websites in order to reserve my user name. I tend to use the same name wherever I go (though I don't use nor plan to use Posh) and I didn't want someone else to impersonate me.
I always ship same or next day too. With that transaction I had to wait for 3 hours in case if he cancels it, and then it was too late to ship. I shipped the next day (gave it to postman), but my post office didn't scan it, it was scanned only at the next point of destination 1 day after, that's why my scammer was so nervous
WARNING!!
While I've never been a fan of Poshmark, it's mostly been because of their lack of integrity and lack of action taken on the zillions of fakes on the site.
But today, I found an even more underhanded action they're taking.
After trying to post a question requesting more pictures to a seller's listing, I got a message telling me that "the user has blocked you."
Then I tried to contact another user, one who tagged me in a listing and got the same message.
Evidently, Poshmark is blocking some members from asking questions and posting comments but making it appear that the seller is doing it! I mistakenly jumped to the wrong conclusion when I thought a Poshmark TPF'er blocked me and she was completely innocent!
For Poshmark to post an error message blaming a seller for something THEY (POSHMARK) did is wrong!

Do you have the same username on Poshmark? I saw on the authenticate thread that @houseof999 couldn't find your profile. I can't find it when I search, either.
That is so underhanded. I like the fact that on Poshmark you can call out a fake and everyone can see the comment. Evidently, Poshmark doesn't like that.
I do. I used beenburned. I believe houseof999 used BeenBurned and PM didn't recognize that.
With lower case, it's recognized: @beenburned
I still can't find you using the right user name. The only way I see your profile is if I click @BeenBurned where I tagged you in my comment.
So basically no one can find you.
