Does anyone use Poshmark?

I prefer to sell my bags using poshmark because it will go to them for authentication and there is a less chance to get scammed.
However the fees are absurdly high!
In theory, this would be true if Poshmark and their "authenticators" knew what they were doing and knew how to authenticate whatever brands they claim to do.

I've seen way too many instances where their "experts" deemed fakes as authentic and authentic items as fake.

Wow really? I had no idea! I have purchased some luxury items from poshmark before and they all (thankfully) were authentic!
but I could see how fakes could easily slip through. I once purchased a bag from ebay which turned out to be fake and I didn’t realize it until I had it authenticated to sell it 2 years later, now I’m stuck with it and it’s in some box in the garage
 
I just listed a few things on Poshmark for the first time. Just after posting, I received a message on a few of them, from different people, but basically saying the same thing - praising my item, giving me their email, and asking me to send them some pictures to their email. I figured this is a scam. Should I respond or ignore?

Nope -- total scammers. You can report them to Poshmark and they'll take down the comment. I get them so often when I list new items that now I just ignore.

I see those on listings and report both as spam and as taking the transaction off site.

scam, and make sure to report these comments by clicking several times on flag (once may not do).
good luck selling there!

click that flag and block the user, and report
they do this with newbies and higher priced things
also read the TOS , never take anything of Poshmark
 
I just bought a LV cabas from them. I probably wouldn't have looked at Poshmark tbh because of all the nasty fakes up for sale but I cross referenced it with the same bag on e#%y. Communicated with the seller on ebay to get more pics and a record of conversation. I'm quite good with LV so I bought the bag off Posh because it was bin not auction. I really dislike auctions for some reason. Transaction went smoothly, seller responsive and bag is JUST what I wanted and legit. I doubt I would attemp again. Bag was one I'd been hunting for for years though

Did you consider asking the seller on ebay to set a BIN price so you could buy it there instead? The seller would have netted more money and you would have had better buyer protection.

I basically asked her bottom line. Price bin on Posh didn't change, eBay min price was changed to same on auction to bin from Posh.

I probably could have saved money waiting to the last minute on e%$y to bid but didn't want to take the chance. Been coveting this bag for YEARS:biggrin:
