Does anyone use Poshmark?

[Fullcloset]

SAME.

I actually prefer the Poshmark app because its easy and very user friendly BUT I have yet to get any sales!

I get a ton of new followers and likes but it seems to be pretty pointless so far.

Mind you I have pretty good listings, imo. At this point Im thinking of just trying my luck with Mercari, lol.

Same here but Mercari starts out ok and then will suddenly block you wanting credit cards on file even if you already have payments set up and have made both sales and purchases. I find them doing this all the time when I use the desktop but then sometimes can get around the blocks using the app which is a pain for me and shows how glitchy their security and platform is.

I didn't know this about the app. I stopped listing because they asked for a credit card. I've made both sales and purchases too. They have my bank account information. Maybe I'll try listing through the app, but all my photos are on my computer. It is pain to have to move them to my tablet.

I recently listed a couple of jewelry items after having not sold on Posh since last year. I've gotten a couple of people saying the same thing, they want to buy "for their daughter", but please send more pictures to their phone or email address even though I have already posted tons of photos from every angle. Feels like an attempt to take something off the platform and negotiate a better deal, or maybe a scam? I don't want to give anyone my own phone number or an email address. ETA: Thought about it some more and realized my selling radar was off after having not sold anything online since last year lol. Definitely not interacting with anyone off the platform.

At best, it's an attempt to take the transaction off-site. At worst, it is a scam and once they have your email or phone, they'll send a "genuine looking" payment from Paypal telling you to send the item. If you fall for it, you'll have no money (from the fake payment) and you'll lose the item.

Wow..I didnt realize that, Ive only been using the app.

I tried to do the authentication thing so I could get that instant pay, but it didnt work for whatever reason. So I ended up doing direct deposit..lol

Thanks! Seriously, I haven't sold anything online since last year and my selling radar was turned off. I realized that after I thought about a bit more. I'm not as familiar with Posh as I am with Ebay.

This is a bot scam, and it happens on almost all listings of popular brands here. You will see some version of this message spread throughout listings on the platform. Just ignore the messages and report/flag them as "spam" and the comments will be deleted.

Yes. I do, I've been on since 2014 and every year has grown. My closet.has 1500 items. I'm not one who can take fam on vacation or pay for college like the commercials but I get a fair return for time and eneegy put in. We has a store on Ebay too for awhile but it wasn't getting a quarter if the traffic and sales that I get on Posh.

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.

so if a sellers average ship time says three days, that means not three days to receive but three days for her to get around to shipping the item? when I sell I try to ship the same day or next day

It means 3 days from the date of purchase to when it is scanned by the post office. I think 3 days is reasonable. Imagine an item sells late in the evening on day 1, day 2 the seller is at work and packs up the item that night. The next day they ship it after work. That is 3 days. However, often the post office does not scan prepaid label items until it reaches the dispatch center, which could be day 4. I sell on this site sometimes and my items are often not scanned until the day after I ship them.

I'm a bit compulsive - both when it comes to shipping to others and to receiving shipments. I think I learned here at the PF years ago that it was good policy to ship fast. so I always do

I'm sure it is always appreciated! It is one less thing for your buyers to worry about.

I'm pretty lax with other people but am OCD when I need to ship something. Like, I feel like it's hanging over my head and I can't realx until it's shipped. But 3 days is pretty reasonable.

the credit card thing, made me not continue with them. I am super cautious about having my CC in hanging out there, there is absolutely no reason for it.
