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?

Here is what I mean (item just delivered today). I placed a $700 order for a LV Bloomsbury that was described as “like-new”. This bag went to Posh for authentication and inspection. This is not a small mark either and Posh somehow “missed” it. There are multiple large cracks on the canvas and in very visible areas.

This happens all the time to me. I think if you’re a good and honest seller you shouldn’t have any problems with returns from buyers. But a handful of Posh sellers aren’t like that so that’s why sometimes I wished Poshmark would be more proactive about inspecting the item rather than just authenticating it. It wastes my time and theirs, not including the money they lose from all the postages.

Yup that's definitely not "like new" condition. Will you try to return or get a partial refund?

You know, seeing this I am actually annoyed as a seller as well. If posh did better inspections it would also protect sellers from dishonest buyers.

Yes, I guess the knife potentially cuts both ways.

But yes, I am going to return this. Cracked canvas is the worst kind of wear for LV canvas. I would have never bothered considering the bag if the cracks were originally disclosed.

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 had a buyer refuse shipment on something and Posh still released my earnings, but that item went through Posh authentication first. I am not sure if they are going to accept the item back and refund the buyer out of their own pocket. I am curious what happened here--did you find out?

I made an offer on something yesterday. 24 hour clock is running out. I don't know if she doesn't want to sell or if she hasn't seen it. It seems she does go on the site and was there approx the time I placed my order yesterday. After the 24 hours, can she still see my offer and possibly respond and ask me to do again?

After the time expires, you will have to resubmit the offer again in order for her to respond to it.

I am done with Posh after this last purchase. This is the 2nd time in a month that I have made contact with a seller about an item to make sure it is available. I make an offer, seller accepts offer, then seller does not ship it. It has been 5 days and Posh just sent a "shipping reminder" to the seller. Neither seller ever contacted me to let me know there would be a delay in shipping. The last seller took 9 days to ship.

I wouldn’t quit Poshmark, you can get great deals on there. I would look at their feedback and see how long it takes for them to ship. I usually ask the seller a question regarding the item before I purchase, if they don’t answer I don’t purchase.

Sorry you got 2 flaky sellers in a row, but there are tons of great sellers on poshmark with oodles of positive feedback and quick ship times. You can see a seller's average ship time by clicking on "about" for their profile. Mine is one day. Some sellers have a same day average ship time. It's definitely more risky to buy from people who don't have any feedback or history, so maybe steer clear of them unless they are attentive about answering questions.

I'm new here (and fairly new to Poshmark). I've sold a bit (it's too taxing and labor intensive: parties, sharing, caring, and low-ballers. Most of the things I purchased had undisclosed issues or zero measurments-and the one I complained about to Poshmark they denied-so, I'll never buy there again-but I'll sell w/o expending effort to participate in all those nonsensical Poshmastic love-ins.

Two things: Poshmark asked users to authenticate items for them (or, at least add input to verification) so they are depending on (potentially) uneducated users to say "yay" or "nay" even if they truly don't know.
and I bought a pair of Maria Tash earrings that Poshmark authenticated-bc they now know Maria Tash?-one post was bent so that earring does not sit properly. and then there was the NWT Anthro kimono that was a big shawl with no sleeves-both denied for a return
so, be aware, you may not get what you bargain for-the Poshmark business model is for sellers to provide as little amount of info as possible and if it doesnt work for the buyer, Re-posh it. They keep making 20% and you'll lose 20%-only really problematic when it's pricy item.

Tradesy isn't so hot either: we want you to ship in < 24 hours but we are taking >21 days to pay you.
I got a few decent deals on Postmark-But for the most part, will probably not be the only one longer buying there

Undisclosed flaws are definitely a problem. As for measurements, if the seller is not providing them and you need them, you have to ask before buying. Not getting measurements and then being upset about fit is not a legit reason to return.

Did you complain about the condition of the bent earrings, regardless of authentication?

I complained about the "kimono" I received. The photos were clearly manipulated in a way to not have to question, "is this a kimono or a shall?". I take full responsibility for ordering items too big/too small sans measurements, but a OSFA kimono? Based on the photos never would have though to ask, does this actually have kimono sleeves; I was deceived.

Regarding the earrings: I tried to cancel bc they weren't yet shipped (after the kimono incident) but Poshmark refused to do so. They sell their "Poshmark authentication service" for order over $500.-but they don't know what they're doing.
If they have a need to ask users to input their opinion on designer goods, clearly they do not have the expertise/desire/ or manpower to authenticate.

Despite the flaw-I did get a great deal on the earrings-but, they were in fact not as described and I will not take the chance on Poshmark again. Especially for pricy items. Pay a bit more=peace of mind.
