There are tons of scammers there, very tricky, especially newly registered accounts you really need to watch for.
Does anyone use Poshmark?

I am in a position this very minute with a “Authenticate “ Gucci bag I ordered . When it arrived I knew instantly that it was a fake and a bad one at that . The seller swears it’s Authentic! No authenticate card of dust bag . I put it on here and the authenticator said “fake” . Still
waiting to see if they will let me return it . Sellers sell stuff $450 etc because they know it won’t be authenticated.

Posh has been so dead for me this month. I sold 3 items. I could have sold more but the low balling has been ridiculous! I only use it to clean out my personal closet. If I wanted to give my things away for pennies I would donate them and get a tax write off...lol.
It’s been SO dead the last couple of weeks. I told like two or three things but even gaining followers has been super slow.
Did you use paypal to fund the purchase? Wait to see how PM decides the case but if they don't find in your favor, use other options for your dispute.
You might also have better luck in the dispute if Poshmark sees the authentication deeming it fake here:

This is the listing:

Unfortunately, I've seen way too many cases where Poshmark's "experts" deem fakes as authentic and authentic items as fake!
Good luck.
Has anyone purchased from Poshmark? What was your experience and do you trust it?

I would be careful of poshmark. To me it's kinda like ebay where people just sell their items. I may be wrong. Please get it authenticated before abd after purchasing . Every once in while when I have run out of threads to read, ill look at the 'authenticate this chanel' thread for fun just to see if I can tell it's fake or to see how good the fakes are getting . I've seen plenty of threads where the authenticators said it was fake from a poshmark link. I'm sure there's authentic ones but there's high chance of fakes too.

I bought something a few months ago. It was a good experience and I love the bag I bought. I knew it was authentic and it was pretty cheap. As with any place where you are buying things second hand, you have to be very careful to know what you are getting. If you aren't an expert in the brand, get it authenticated before you purchase, even if it goes through Poshmark's authentication.
I've seen Poshmark make mistakes in authenticating. We have a member who bought an obvious fake from Poshmark. She sent it to Poshmark and their authenticators told her it was authentic.
I agree. I also want to point out that their authentication team makes mistakes the other way too, deeming authentic items as fake and even suspending the seller when items were legitimate.
Has anybody ever sold an item and then the buyer states they received a different item?
I sold a pair of Tory Burch reva shoes in size 9 and the buyer stated they received 9.5 and wants to return them. They provided pictures for the claim so PM can review. The photo is zoomed in on the size and doesn’t photograph the entire shoe.
I obviously didn’t take photos of myself physically packaging a size 9 and am now concerned the buyer is a scammer and will return fake shoes to me. The buyer has zero listings so it’s hard to determine how active she is as a posher.
I’m pretty sure PM will side with the buyer. As a seller, what “proof” can I offer at this point?

Did your listing show pictures of the size and style markings? If so, that would be a way to try to show what you sent and whether it's different from what the buyer is claiming to have received.
It's been dead for me as well. Right now it seems like there are way more sellers than buyers on Posh. The lowballers seem to be crawling out of the woodwork. I sent a private offer to likers of an item and one person messaged twice that she wanted an even lower price. I responded by thanking her for her interest but also let her know that the private offer I sent was the lowest I was willing to go. That was a several days ago and today she sent me an offer for an even lower price. I ended up deleting the entire listing and giving the item to my daughter. [emoji53]
This is my first and last Poshmark experience. I have bought and sold on eBay for years with only a few hiccups. But this Posh experience was just crazy. I purchased a handbag for $250. I got a confirmation email stating that it had been purchased and that the seller would ship within the next 7 days. After 3 days I got a little nervous so I commented to the seller and got no response. So I waited , as of this morning it's been 8 days. I tried contacting the seller, crickets. So I cancelled the order through Poshmark as a delayed delivery. It shows as cancelled since the seller hasn't shipped it but I still don't have a refund showing up in PayPal. On eBay when you have a cancelled sale or a return the refund is processed when the return is processed, but I don't know what to expect with Posh. I still don't see the return in PayPal and frankly I'm kind of nervous. I send an email to Poshmark through their system and I still haven't heard back. This has just been the longest weirdest transaction for me. Is there no time frame on a listing? Can a seller leave a listing out there indefinitely? If you're looking at items for sale how do you know that the sellers actually going to ship? I'm thinking she had this for sale and completely forgot that she had it listed. Not sure why she didn't respond to poshmark's reminder emails to ship but she didn't. After this, once I get my $$ back, I'm closing my poshmark acct.
