If you refuse site credit they will issue you a return label for a refund. The Poshmark service is only to authenticate, to make sure the item is real. The only times they’ve ever reached out to me in regards to condition were if there was a big hole/rip that was not disclosed or if it reeked like smoke. These “minor” marks usually passes their “concierge service” [emoji849]

Thank you! That’s helpful, reassuring and greatly appreciated though it confirms what I believed about their concierge service (i.e., clueless).

Don’t give up yet. Yes, there are flakey sellers, and some just apparently abandon their closets. But if you ask a question about the item you’re interested in, like others have suggested, you’ll get an idea whether the seller is active & responsive. It is also a good idea to check how active the seller is by going to their closet and checking the other listings and when they last were active on Poshmark. I’ve purchased some really great items and have had about 1 flake out of every 10 purchases. As for Poshmark refunding, they usually do it pretty quickly (but I’ve never used PayPal on Poshmark). Maybe call PayPal? Good luck!

I've had a couple purchases where I have cancelled after no communication or shipping in a week. I've also realized that before buying, I need to check how recently the item was updated - if it's been months, then I may make an offer or post a question to ensure the seller is still active and will sell it. Then again, I'm horrible at maintaining my own closet - it's so tedious to keep sharing items repeatedly. But over all, I've made a lot of purchases on Posh and have had a few returns which went fine. They are slower than eBay where the focus is on quick shipping and instant payments, but I also like that there's a limited window to call out any issues. I hope you'll try again!

I get SOOOO irritated When I See an item and WANT to BUY IT.. But the Seller Doesn't Respond to Questions! I'm Thinking WHY?? WHY!! You Have an EASY SELL~ Right Here! What is the PROBLEM??!! Then Take Your Listing Down! Very Frustrating! And They Have a $6.49 Ship Fee with EVERY item Large or Small.. These People Lose Sales because of that..

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:
https://poshmark.com/listing/Authentic-Gucci-Oliver-Pug-5ab98cce72ea88019e943309

Unfortunately, I've seen way too many cases where Poshmark's "experts" deem fakes as authentic and authentic items as fake!

Good luck.

But Here's the Issue~ if that Gucci is Fake, the Buyer Should get Full Refund including the Imposed $6.49 ship fee(don't get me started on that~that's The Buyer Seemed to Know as soon as she saw it..

I contacted PayPal.... poshmark said they sent the refund, but oddly enough it didn't show up until I opened a claim with PayPal. The all of a sudden the refund is there and the claim is closed. Lol. At least I got my refund;-)

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.

How long has it been since it was cancelled? According to Poshmark it can take 1-2 business days for a refund to process. I've cancelled before and I believe I had my money back within that time frame. **EDIT: sorry, just saw above that you got your refund!**

There are a lot of inactive sellers on PM, so what I do now before buying is go to the seller's profile and see when they were last active. It should say "last active on [date]" on their profile page. If there is no date, it means they haven't logged on for a while and that usually means it's not worth it to buy from them because they might not respond.

This is a major problem with platforms that don't limit the number of listings a seller can have, and don't have any expiration dates. This doesn't normally happen on ebay because of the listing time limits. I imagine it costs sites like Poshmark, Tradesy and Mercari a lot in unnecessary server fees.

That's a GREAT Point~ PM SHOULD Have Expiration Dates for those Listings. It's frustrating when those Sellers Ghost and You
Are Really Wanting that Item...

Expiration dates might be annoying for people who have a lot of inventory, but I think another idea that could work is that if poshmark sees a user hasn't logged in in [30?] days, freeze their account and message them saying all they need to do is log back in to show they are still active.
On ebay I have all my listings as good til cancelled because I hate having to relist if it doesn't sell within 30 days or whatever.
