I buy on PM but I haven’t tried selling there. I find the whole social/comment aspect to generate a lot of noise and distract from actually getting useful info about the items. All the spambots trying to ask to work offline are annoying too. I also don’t like the Just Shared default feature. I search by Just In as I want to know what is most recently listed and then perhaps those sellers will be monitoring their stuff.

All that said, I’ve had overall good experiences as a buyer!

I'm doing very good selling on PM. I resisted for a long time due to the social aspect. Lately I'm sure I've made some sales due to either me sharing something at a party or another person sharing my listing. The only sharing I do of my items is at the parties, and if someone shares my stuff, I'll share their stuff in return.

I'm not getting as many of those spambot messages on my new listings lately. Maybe they have improved their software to ban them.

I would assume so but it has been a long time since I bought anything so I can't remember. They send a lot of updates to the sellers so I suspect the buyers are getting the same updates. Like every time a package I've shipped out is delayed, they send me an email.

Yea, i can't remember either as a buyer on PM. It's been a while. But they are pretty good about instant refunds if there are problems with the item shipping out within the required timeframe (PM contacts the buyer and asks if you still want to wait or if you want to cancel purchase and get a refund) or if the item gets lost. Sadly I've been on both ends of this happening. Both the seller and buyer are refunded if the item is lost after it's logged into the USPS system.

That's one of the things I love about it. I don't have to be responsible if the package is lost, and if there is a dispute, I'm not out any shipping money.

Yes it almost makes me forget about the 20% seller commission lol :doh: (but maybe lower for higher priced items?? cant remember)

I think it is 20% for everything over $15. I've found if I'm shipping something that is really heavy, I would have to charge a lot for shipping if I sold it in ebay, and ebay charges their fees on shipping too, so it works out to not be that much more in fees on posh. I've sold a few things under $15; then it is a flat $2.95.

Yes, there is a 5lb weight allowance. And I post the thank you under the item. If it I'd a bundle sale, I post there. I hate not knowing if my bought item I'd gonna shop soon, and hate being "when are you shipping, has it shipped yet" etc. Every package also gets a Thank You card (I buy the Posh swag cards) and sign on them: Thank so much! Please remember to rate me and I appreciate comments (Love Notes). Enjoy!!
And my closet name

Be cautious of a lot of scam listings on poshmark. Many photos are being stolen from other sites, and then posted there by scam sellers. They have no bag to sell. I understand this happens, and it is hard to control all of the scammers, but what is really frustrating is that many of them are commented on and reported as a scam, and poshmark isn't removing them, or at least not very quickly. This is even with contacting them directly to report it as well. I have seen either my pics or pics of a bag I have purchased from another site on there several times now.

What frustrates me is that Poshmark is quick to discount actual sellers, and claim their items counterfeit when they are not, but they leave these false listings up.

I don’t understand why Poshmark allows these scammers to have an account and they have no product to sell and don’t buy anything. They clutter up the feed with these stolen pictures. What is sad I’ve seen many Poshmark customers buy stuff from them. What a waste of time and money. I ask them to do a video or ask them to take a picture of the item outside. I try to be creative

That is a good idea, lol. It just makes no sense that they don't pull the listing even when it is reported and they are contacted. It makes it an unsafe site to buy, and over time that will impact them. And also it isn't fair to legitimate new sellers, who will be avoided because people won't know if they are a scammer or not based on limited time selling or only having one listing to start.

So true, I’m very careful of newbies.

I have had a couple of listings disappear. One of them disappeared almost immediately after I listed it. I can't figure out why. One was a Fossil slg new with tags. The one that disappeared immediately was a vintage leather binder planner, not something that gets counterfeited. When I listed it, before they would let me list it I had to certify it didn't violate any of their policies. I can't figure out what policy it would violate. When they remove your items for violation, do they contact you?

Did you do any edits before listing? My only experience with items disappearing is when I receive an email notification that an item I liked was reduced in price. When I click on the link, 1/4 of the time it is gone and there is a statement that the item is no longer on the site. I have learned to wait 24 hours and then it is back. People say the same thing happens with my items sometimes. It must be some kind of glitch. Maybe if you check back tomorrow they will be visible again.

Thanks! The one I listed yesterday is back. I didn't edit it at all before listing, just clicked on the certify button. The other one I'm not sure when it disappeared. It was there before I went on vacation and was gone when I'm came back. That one has never reappeared.

There are tons of scam listings these days. Look at newly listed Coach, Michael Kors, kate spade. 75% of the listings are of fake LV, Chanel, Gucci, etc. with prices around $200-$300. It takes a long time to report each individual listing. Is there a quicker way to get rid of them?
