I use Poshmark. I purchased a Burberry from a seller, and when I received it, it was not authentic. I didn’t accept it. Instead, I clicked on the ‘problem’ option below it, which opens a case for review. PM allows 3 days to accept, before they release any moneys. My case was approved for a return, and I was refunded to full amount to include what would have been PMs cut. Hope this helps in the future.
Does anyone use Poshmark?

I can’t believe all the fakes on Poshmark! No matter how many times I report it, the items still are listed. And Poshmark requests that people report fakes.
I don’t think they have enough staff that can authenticate all the items. Sometimes the take down the authentic items!
I had a good experience buying a Dior Rasta Saddle from Poshmark. However, for whatever reason, I get the impression that the authenticators don't specialize (like you would find on this forum). I'm not disparaging, BTW, just giving my take.
Prior to purchase, I was able to get two different authentication estimates - one here in Authenticate This > Dior and one paid from Jill's Consignments [https://www.jillsconsignment.com/Designer-Handbag-Authentications.php] - with both giving an affirmative. I would recommend that anyone purchasing from a platform (Poshmark, Tradesy, Vestiare Collective, etc.) that doesn't have the bags in-hand at the time of the transaction do the same.

I have a question about problem buyers. Unfortunately, my friend is the one who is the problem buyer.
She bought a pair of shoes off poshmark that were about $80. Turns out they were the wrong pair of shoes; she paid for ones that are in worse condition than the ones she actually wanted. After fighting with the seller and Poshmark to cancel the sale (which I’m assuming they didn’t approve), she says she is going to refuse shipment.
While she’s my friend and I understand people make mistakes, I’m actually pretty mad at her for wasting this person’s/the seller’s time. My question is, what is the likelihood she can get a refund? I’m really hoping she doesn’t...

I sell casually on eBay and Poshmark. Nothing over a few hundred dollars. I accepted an offer of $40 for a pair of shoes I had listed for $50. Unfortunately the buyer’s payment didn’t go through. Does she have 24 hours to fix her cc card info?
Bad week on Poshmark. One non-paying buyer. One person who bid, canceled, bid, canceled (are you sensing a pattern), and bid again. I countered in the middle and she bid the same amount again. Blocked. And now one buyer who bought an LV item and the postman can’t get into her building to deliver. Annoying things happen in threes too, right?
You can bid on Poshmark? I'm guessing that you and the buyer were exchanging best offers through messaging, right? Or am I wrong? Anyway, sorry you had so many annoying buyers.
My only annoyance is the sales are really slow, no matter how many times I try lowering my prices. I just keep getting likes but when I try to send offers to them, radio silence. Super frustrating.
Used the wrong term. She made an offer. A lowball one at that.
I try to be reasonable too and lower prices. No buyers, just likers.

I had 2 recent flakes too, but luckily Posh did right by me. They both happened to be for expensive items that had to go to posh ******************--my only ones after being on posh for over a year. The first was a NWT Valentino bag sold for $1900. Posh Authenticate approved and sent it to buyer. No one at buyer's address was available to sign for it. Sat at post office for over a week. When I complained about having to wait for my earnings to be released (they still give buyer 3 days to accept even after being approved by posh authenticate), they released them for me. Still not sure if buyer left the $1900 bag at the post office! Sold a pair of NWT Valentino shoes for $875. Got approved by Posh Authenticate. Posh sent to buyer. Buyer refused the shipment! I complained to posh, they released by earnings anyway. Not sure if these people don't realize that posh does not accept returns, esp. when the item has already been inspected and approved by Posh!
People are just so oblivious and entitled. Go shop at Nordstrom and pay full price. I shipped an LV wallet and the buyer still hasn’t confirmed on day 2. I looked at her closet and she has nothing for sale. Not sure if she just doesn’t know how Posh works. I wish buyers had to have more of a history buying and selling before they were allowed to buy high dollar items.
My impression is that people with no sales don't know how it works. Well one more day and you should get your money!
As for lots of likers and no buyers, I think a lot of people use posh for fantasy window shopping. I've clicked on people who like some of my designer items and they are selling used mall brand stuff for $10. Most likely don't have the budget to buy.
This is not true. Posh authenticates but they don't always ensure that the item is as described. I've personally had experiences where the seller claimed the item was in new/excellent condition and it was not. The item went through Posh for authentication and "inspection", but when it got to me, it was definitely SNAD. We are talking large scuffs along the corners edge, items that was listed with authenticity card but then wasn't shipped with it, etc...In all of those cases I was able to get a refund.
Well, the emails Posh sent me stated that my items were inspected for condition and authenticity and passed. I'm sure they have dropped the ball in certain cases (like yours). I wonder if they are giving this girl who refused my shoe delivery a refund out of their own pocket though. If she refused the shipment she can't complain the shoes were NAD! Seems like a definite buyers remorse situation to me.
In your case did the seller try to argue that posh inspected the item and approved it?
The one with the scuffs did. She responded and said those marks were not there when she sent the bag [emoji849] but some sellers just straight up lie! They over value their items and then get upset when you call them out on it. I’ve have a couple instances where I had to go back and zoom into their photos and point the flaw out and then are they quiet like a church mouse. The seller that didn’t include the accessories never responded to the case.
But from my buying experiences, I don’t feel like Poshmark inspects condition unless it’s is very obvious. Meaning, the item either reeks of smoke/foul odor or it is in very trashed condition. To me, it doesn’t seem like they care/check on the smaller flaws or bother to read the description. Had a “brand new” bag shipped to me with scratch marks in the interior (from obvious use). I’m thinking to myself how the heck this passes their inspection?!?
