Does anyone use Poshmark?

So I have a pair of Chanel espadrilles listed on my posh, and this girl asked if she could rent them ?? Yes, because I trust a stranger enough to send out a 700 dollar pair of shoes for 100 bucks and trust she's going to send them back? Even if she did, I'd have to mark them down even more since she'd be wearing them around. Just thought it was kind of funny.. Haha

OMG! [emoji44] Unbelievable!
 
I've been on posh for more than a year, sold 130+ items, never broke any rules and never caused any problems.
so today I tried to buy something for the fist time, I've been using it only for selling before.
in 5 minutes sale was cancelled and all my listings are gone. without any explanations.
did any of you had this happen before? shocked:sad:
Hopefully it is just a glitch. I've never sold on Posh so I can't help.
 
Am I doing bundling wrong? I've had three shoppers use the bundle tool in my closet in the past 2 days, and I made them an offer either at the bundle discount price (20% off for two items) with free shipping, or at a price even a little lower than the bundled discount, and no one has accepted the offers; they've just expired. Is there a part of bundling etiquette I'm missing? Or is it common for shoppers to just use the bundle as bookmarks for themselves without intending to buy the items at all or at that time?

Since I primarily horde shoes, I don’t intentionally bundle very often and I don’t really see that changing for me... Unless I meet my dream poshmark seller that’s my size and has all the pairs I’m missing!!

I’m still a dunce when it comes to bundling as a buyer. Sometimes when I’m trying to scroll I accidentally add an item to a bundle. It’s not quite as intuitive through the app to unbundle something as it is to unlike something (at least not to me) and it won’t let you unbundle it at all while there’s still an active offer on it from the seller.

I also don’t even know how to find my bundles, intentionally created or otherwise—I have to save one of the items to my likes, then use that listing to click the closet icon on the top and then switch the view from “likes” to “bundles” (what a pain). So maybe the buyers don’t even know you bundled something for them with a nice price??? Does the buyer get a notification that it happened?? Or maybe their notification feed is so full that the offer you created for them gets buried??

I think they get a notification?? I don't think Im the one even doing the bundling! I get notifications that a posher bundled two items, and then I can make them a private offer, which I do, and so far they haven't been accepted. Not sure if Im doing something wrong and violating some unwritten etiquette or if this is normal!

I also got two of the same offers on the same item one minutes apart. Is there a way to communication with a seller to let them know there is a competing offer?

When I try to share my fingers often accidentally hit “add to your bundle” but I have no idea how to remove it. Sometimes the seller will offer me a bundle discount, but I never bought because it was an accident and not something I wanted. Then once I realized how it worked I would add an item to a bundle if I liked something but the price was a little too high because I don’t like making offers (feels rude sometimes) to see if I wanted to buy it at the new price. So a longwinded way to say that I agree that it might be accidental, but there is no harm in making a bundle offer because you may entice a buyer :)

There is no PM. You can either write in the comments in your listing something to the effect that you are considering multiple offers, or you can sent them a message on their page (for politeness in their “about me” listing or in a sold listing) or in one of your sold listings (tag them). Make sure to counteroffer all of your offers if you are not ready to accept one.

I think shoppers bundle sometimes to do the math - figure actual cost. I’ve found the current shopping expectation on PM is for rock bottom pricing. No-one seems to come back to items they expressed interest in, no-one accepts counteroffers. Maybe because it feels more like a social media platform, shoppers flit around more - and purchase less - IME lately.

Thanks! That’s annoying there’s no private message. It would streamline the offer process a lot more if you could type in a message along with a counter offer.

Good to know what the culture is, though it’s a little concerning considering I haven’t listed my “big ticket” items yet!

I think she was referring to bundles, not regular listings in general. Most of my buyers have worked with counter offers and ended up purchasing. There’s def people who are looking to low ball, but I’ve also had a decent number of buyers who purchase straight up with no haggling.

Ah that makes sense! Thank you! I’ve only had two buyers so far who just straight up purchased and when I got the notification the items had sold I got confused at first because I wasn’t used to seeing it haha
