thats probably because you're using the browser on your phone and not the app. The mobile browser version doesn't have full functionality. In the app or on the desktop the flag is there.
Thank you! Requested desktop when initially joined but gave error, “the URL cannot be found.” The app, can’t login with same credentials used to create an account saying, “invalid combination.” Use a storage vault, info matches. Don’t plan on buying or selling on PM. If home can use desktop if not emailing PM removed three sellers within a few hours.
Good job getting the take downs.
New ones pop up all the time. Here's one telling buyers her leather crossbody is an "authentic VIP gift".

If you go to the bottom right hand screen and click “contact” there are options: “report copyright” or “press inquiries.” When selecting copyright, automatically generates an email from default mail settings. If you want to use a different email need to manually change.
When click on counterfeit item, the suggested items are mostly counterfeit. In ten mins found 30 counterfeit items. The volume of counterfeit items gives the appearance of PM being complicit. Some admit the item is counterfeit but note “hand made” or “sterling silver.”
Don’t personally like with the advent of larger screens on mobile devices, sites can accommodate desktop viewing (request desktop). PM is out of date imo and should update code to allow for desktop viewing as they’re losing customers by forcing them to the app or view on actual desktop. The app is not allowing me to login using credentials signed up with and not high priority to contact PM to sort out. It would be easier to use the report button at times but email does allow for explanation. With that said using email six sellers were completely removed. Others the items are still up.
Apologies for the long rant.
Good job once again. The problem is they keep popping back up under new screen names, just like roaches...you kill one and there are more where that one came from. Posh really needs a system to weed these out before they get listed on the site. Tradesy claims to have some proprietary technology for that and I def don't see stuff like this on their site. Of course, you could still have a seller send you something fake but the listing won't be brazenly advertising it as such.

Poshmark removed two of my authentic items and I had to prove they were authentic?? Poshmark authenticators are doing a poor job!
Couldn’t agree more! Does Tradesy use an algorithm like Lollipuff does?
The problem of not authenticating items under a certain value is it encourages this activity. Of course they’re going to open a new account as no one stops them. A seller lists a new LV neverfull MM for 400 with the retail price slashed as on sale. It’s obvious with plastic wrapped handles, pochette and thread coloring; you don’t need to be an expert to discern. Items like this are rampant on PM. PM in its current state looks like iOffer. If PM cannot find a solution to remedy the promotion & sale of counterfeit goods, then PM should stop pretending to be a safe & reputable marketplace. Solutions could be implemented to fix these issues. Update the site, software to weed out items, new in house brand experts, unit devoted to reported items, and listening to member suggestions. This costs $ and assume is not done because PM continues to make $ regardless.
Tradesy uses an algorithm, though I think Lollipuff also has a human reviewing all the listings since it's a small site. I trust Lollipuff more than Tradesy but at least Tradesy is better than Posh in terms of what they let on the site. I think Posh should flag any new account that all of a sudden shows up with a bunch of designer listings. Those accounts should have to be reviewed by a human before they let the listings up.
Though I will say that certain posh buyers know very well that what they are getting is counterfeit and don't care, they just want the cheap "LV" or "Chanel." Some sellers outright say the item is not auth and it still sells.
Ebay does this by limiting the number of designer items a new member can list.
Definitely a hassle. I think when listings are taken down they're not really reviewed by professional authenticators and it's just if they get a critical mass of complaints/reports. The authenticators only review items actually purchased over $500 that go to PM HQ before going to the buyer.
