Good question. Bundles mystify me. A buyer asked if I bundle. I said I don't know what that is - if you want multiple items I will combine them with one shipping. Never heard back. Typical of Posh.Still haven't sold a thing. Now I get messages saying - you haven't SHARED in awhile. LOL.

You have to share the items in your closet, so say someone is searching for Marc Jacobs bag, and you recently shared the one you had up for sale, your bag will be among the first shown. It's also how you get new followers. If you haven't shared your items in a while, your bag will be seen after all of the recently shared bags. So they may never get to your bag because they saw something else first. And a lot of things that haven't been updated - "shared" - in a long time tend to be from sellers who are no longer active. Your listing gives the time it was last last updated.
Bundling let's you decide if you'd like to offer 10 or 15 % off 3 items or more.

Your potential buyer asked if you give discount for multiple items (not just shipping).
I'm good with the bundle feature. Many sellers offer a bundle discount (it's displayed on their page, e.g. 15% off on 3 items ,or more) and the system will automatically give a buyer who purchases multiple items from their closet an extra discount. The bundle feature is used for this so everything can be bought in one single order. Or, buyers can also add multiple items to the bundle and make an offer to the seller if this seller does not display a bundle discount on their page.
My issue is that buyers add only 1 of my item to their bundle and then............nothing. So I always ignored it..

Somehow, I don't even know how but every now and then I add an item to a bundle, an item I was looking at or liked, honestly I don't even know how it happens! I didn't want to add it to a bundle but I must click on something that does it. I always feel bad because I know it must annoy the seller.

Does anybody have problems with shipping and those Poshmark labels? I mailed something on Oct 27, tracking was NEVER picked up even though I am certain it has been delivered. Sometimes USPS doesn't do tracking at pickup but they always do at delivery - not in this case.

Yesterday I mailed 4 packages - send out from the PO mailbox inside. 2 to eBay, one to Tradesy and one to Poshmark. All picked up tracking except the Poshmark package which was sent at the EXACT SAME TIME.

I've shipped maybe 30 or so items and haven't had any problems. I have received items from PM where tracking info wasn't available the whole time, or only at delivery.

Does anyone know why something would get pulled if it's an authentic item? It's posted to my collection here from 2007... I'd be going for quite the long con... haha

This has happened to me, too. I listed 3 brand new pairs of YSL Tributes that are too high for me . All with boxes. One pair got pulled. I even have the receipt for them. I don’t get it!!

It's because Posh allows randoms to do "authenticate" to keep Posh in "tip-top shape". These are just random Posh users who have little to zero knowledge about the brands asked of them to authenticate. Your listing was pulled because one of the randoms probably marked it as fake. Then there are also people who are just being spiteful going around reporting listing as fake just for fun or to take their competitors out.

I had the feeling this was the issue. I think you are spot on regarding spiteful people!

I found something I liked on Poshmark. I was ready to buy, but the comment thread had unanswered comments from July. I asked if it was still available ten days ago, but didn't receive a response. (The seller's profile showed she had been on the site a week before.)

Two days later, I posted saying I was ready to buy, but asked for two photos to make sure I was purchasing an authentic piece. (I have a feeling it was but wanted to be sure.) Still no response and her activity was unchanged. I have checked back every day, but no answer and she hasn't visited the site again.

The piece sold today. I would say she could have been on vacation, but this was her only listing and there were several comments with questions before mine (in July) that went unanswered.

I feel like I missed out, but I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting. Do Poshmark sellers get notifications when comments are posted about listings?

It depends on the sellers notifications. I don’t get email notifications but I get app push notifications. You can opt out of that. Some people just list things and then don’t pay attention. It sounds like a flaky seller and who knows if she will even ship the item to the person who bought it.

I've had a couple of similar experiences. It's strange to me that people who have recent activity wouldn't have checked on their listings for possible questions. I'm not sure how it looks from the seller's end. I've learned from these experiences not to buy or make offers on these items. I figure if I can't get my questions answered, that's not a good sign for the transaction as a whole.

Thanks to you both. I was disappointed, but I feel better. I couldn't shake the bad vibe of paying for something when I couldn't get a question answered.

Think that annoys me most about Posh - if you ignore all the parties and shares - is that if I want to offer a liker a discount - I HAVE to also discount the shipping. Why? I never offer likers a deal because I don't want to do the shipping discount. It makes no sense to me. I will gladly offer a discounted price - but the shipping is unrelated to that and it is what it is.

I have an account and I've listed a few items, but their fees seem to be way higher than other eBay and Bonanza so I seldom use it. I've never sold anything through the app though. It seems pretty straightforward and safe.

Me either. Been on there almost a year - like 800 followers now and 300 shares but not one sale. I've sold on all other platforms though so its not my inventory. I don't know what it is exactly but nobody seems to buy.
