Does anyone use Poshmark?

[MyAwesomeFinds]

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.

Right, you can only cancel within 3 hours of an order. Sellers have had incidents in the past where they shipped an order and then it was cancelled. I think they changed their policy after that. It also could have been shipped but the tracking hadn't picked up yet.

Asking users input on authentication is only for taking down reported listings, it is not for items that are actually purchased that go to posh for authentication. I think if a certain number of reviewers say something is suspect or whatnot they will take the listing down.

Was the kimono described as a kimono by Anthro or just by the seller? Interested as to what the original product name was.

In all the years I've watched PM, I've reported (probably) thousands of fakes and I've NEVER seen Poshmark take down a listing.

The only listings that have been ended are those (rare cases) where an honest seller does it herself because she's been told it's fake.

More often, sellers who know what kind of junk they're peddling block and report those who try to help.

It was described as a kimono from Anthro-but the seller photos showed an actual kimono (the way she had it draped) never in a million years would I have thought it anything other than a kimono. I always put measurements and would have showed the open sides.

So between that and the no measurements thing-I'm done buying there. I did get an incredible deal on Maria Tash studs but overall, not a great experience buying or selling.

And those earrings were indeed sent to Poshmark-I do not get the feeling they're expert in authenticating anything and I'd be hard pressed to belly they actually have a trained gemologist to consult with.

The site is overrun with fakes-and people buy...........I saw lots of LV belts and pricy sneakers. Although the prices are so low on some I'm sure people know theyre fake

so today is monday. on saturday I made an offer (10% off asking) and was ignored. also same day I asked a question on another item which was not answered.
over the weekend I sent a question to their CS. they responded saying I did my communications the right way. I told them thank you for responding but I'm not having success with communication on your website.
they need to make it better IMO. Or maybe it's the sellers' fault. In the case of a question, they could miss it if they don't log on but in the case of an offer I'm pretty sure it goes to their email so no excuse for ignoring.

It is 100% the seller's fault on both of these requests. Poshmark sends me a notification on my poshmark app in addition to my email account if I have an offer on one of my items. It is MY responsibility as a seller to respond to questions and offers, not poshmark, they are just the site I choose to sell on. I am also a buyer so if a seller doesn't respond to my questions or offer within a few days its time to move on, there are plenty of fish in the sea and other sites to buy from. Some people only have like 2 items for sale, forget they have them on there, only do this from time to time, etc. There are a million reasons why people aren't responding to you but yes its frustrating but time to move on to another item from an active seller!

well this seller who I made an offer two has like 60 items for sale and she had been on the site recently....I thought maybe she had second thoughts and decided she priced the bag too low. but she hasn't raised the price. annoying. but with the amount of detail on the ad, I was a bit concerned as to whether it would be in as good condition as it looked in the photo.
so i guess it wasn't meant to be.

If you aren't going to buy the item (and I think it's a good idea to hit the back button when you find an unresponsive seller), send one last message to the seller telling her why she's losing a customer.

Presumably, sellers don't want to lose potential income and if they get enough messages letting them know buyers have moved on to other better sellers, maybe they'll change their ways.

being compulsive, I left her a message on the comments section saying "I made you an offer"
I don't understand. When I get a reasonable offer I'm all over it. The only thing I can think is it's recently listed and she thinks she'll get a FP offer. But 10% off? Really? Makes no sense to me

I use Poshmark and have had very good luck selling and buying, though I have sold way more than I have purchased. I have a few higher end items that I want to sell, but I’m afraid that my authentic stuff will be looked at as fake because of other people that ruin it for the rest of us. Also I browse the comments of items similar to those I want to sell and think, geez, if I have to deal with some of these characters, I’m not so sure I want to list anything big. I am considering The RealReal for some of these pricier items since I have had great luck buying there too and it seems like a better place, but I may be wrong. Thoughts on TRR?

I’m going to review this thread more later. Such good info and experiences!

Yes! Weird questions. People offering up trades on the side. Oy. The ones that annoy me to no end are the comments with “hun,” “sweetie,” and “dear,” in them. Those words to me sound odd in comments. “Can I fit a cat in this pochette, hun? Oh and if my tabby, Mr Wrinkles fits, can you please hold it for a few weeks while I decide? Do you do trades? Thanks, sweetie!”

Poshmark. What a time to be alive! [emoji23]

and the same seller who didn't respond t my reasonable offer answered the ridiculous question about the bag being a pet carrier

call me stupid but I went there to see if she'd been online.....she was on five hours ago and never responded to my offer or my comment this morning. WTF? she doesn't want to sell her item? she could easily counter at something almost FP.......oh well

I just learned here of tpf that the best offer option is always there - not the sellers choice. But still - we are $17 apart - she couldn't take $7 less and sell her bag?
