you never know when something will sell or what offer will be accepted.....I got an item on Posh recently for very cheap. It was a top that retails for over $100. (First time I've bought preowned clothing online) Another seller was asking $60 for hers (NWT). The one I got was not NWT but it had no flaws and I got it for $10. Of course there was the risk it could have had flaws but I asked before purchasing and she said no stains, tears, etc.
so it worked out .....you never know for sure until you get the item
Not sure how to do it on the app, but on desktop, if you go to anyone's profile and hit the three dots in the top right, you can select to see their bundles (as a seller) and then look at any that have comments. So it's not intuitive and you have to look for it, but bundles are not private - they're just less public than comments on the actual item post.
On the app, the 3 dots are at the top right of the person's listings, but not profile page. I could see all the bundles a posher had, but not the bundle she made for my item today. Thanks for letting us know about this! I wonder what I will now do with this information?
Hmmm.
I did sell 2 bags this week, and both were sent off for authentication. I feel better about that, rather then going directly to the buyer.
I asked at the post office if I could buy additional insurance, and was told no, since the shipping label was on the package. Can we buy insurance through Poshmark, similar to paying extra for a weight over 5 lbs? I cannot find info on this anywhere.
They have lost a package of mine before and they paid me for it. I believe the full value of the sale is covered. In my case it was about $4000.
In the listing, click offer / price drop. Then select offer to likers (private).
I have a few more questions about buying pricy items on Poshmark.
- Has anyone ever had an item pass the Poshmark authentication process, but then deemed fake by your own third party authenticator? Will Poshmark issue a refund?
- Is there a way to request your item to be shipped with insurance for the full value? $7 shipping won't cover it and I'm more concerned about the item being stolen while in transit / at USPS.

I wouldn't worry about the insurance. PM covers the insurance. If it gets lost, you'll get your money back.
I had an isolated instance of parcel theft recently with a Poshmark item. I had placed a mail hold while away, but our regular mail carrier was on vacation, and a substitute delivered my Poshmark item to our front steps. I asked the neighbors to check, but it had already disappeared or perhaps was held/lost at a postal center en route. I am not certain how the tracking applies when there is a mail hold. It took a lot of back-and-forth with USPS and Poshmark, but eventually Poshmark refunded me in full. The seller was supportive and also had been paid already, so I guess Poshmark absorbed the costs of the lost item.
I wouldn't doubt that PM authenticators make mistakes. There have been people who have bought fakes (that didn't go through the authentication process) that PM refused to accept were fake. Eventually the people got their money back, but only by doing a lot of complaining. Plus I've heard that their authenticators won't note damage that wasn't disclosed but will go ahead and forward it to you.
