I don't think they blocked me manually, I am not sure but it seems I gave wrong billing address for my Mastercard, maybe system determined me as a scammer. I've never bought anything for myself on posh before, as that was my rule - to divide business and personal. stupid me, why didn't I follow the line
So I’ve been thinking about buying a vintage Chanel jacket, but the buyer won’t accept payment on Poshmark to “avoid fees” and wants to take the transaction to Venmo. This is a no-no right?
That’s what I thought. Not only is it against the rules (and I’m doing so well as a new seller that I wouldn’t want to knowingly break them), but who would buy an item like that with no added assurances from Posh that the item is 1) authentic and 2) will actually get to you and isn’t a scam.
You should report her. 20% fees are high, but if the bad sellers continue to behave like this, sooner or later they'll make the good sellers pay for it, and the fees could go higher.
I absolutely did! Not least of all because I wanted to purchase the jacket the proper way and then someone swooped in and did a transaction to violate the rules haha. In any event, the whole situation made me angry. The listing (marked as sold) has since been taken down and I can’t find the seller’s account anymore.
Whoever bought it is most likely getting a fake chanel jacket. There's no buyer protection on venmo like there is on paypal (or Posh for that matter).
As a buyer I certainly would not have taken a chance on the myriad things that could go wrong with that transaction. Since I can't find the seller's account anymore, I assume she has been banned.
I always get this. I started adding “lowball offers will be declined and not counteroffered” in my listings and it’s made... 0% difference. But now I feel less bad declining it within seconds when it comes through ♀️
Good idea! I might add that to my listings even though you haven't noticed any difference. I was so ticked off, I blocked the buyer who offered me $3 for one of my items.
That’s just insulting! Luckily I haven’t experienced this yet. Most offers I get are within a respectable ballpark. Does this tend to happen on a certain type of item or at a certain price point?
I've gotten lowball offers at all price points but these latest ones were for items priced under $30.
All price points. I had a piece of unbranded costume jewelry listed at $16, marked "price is firm" and someone offered $5 (which would have left me $2.05 after posh fee). Then I had a NWT $2100 designer dress I listed at $500 and someone offered me $100.
