I love PM now. I have sold 4 items in the past month. So far all of my buyers have been wonderful. I do have a question about posting pictures on PM. I always post 5 or 6 upclose pictures of the items I'm selling, but I also like to add a picture of the item that the designer (Burberry or Gucci) that has one of their models wearing. This helps the buyers see what it looks like on. How come PM is not letting these pictures upload to my closet? Many other people on PM, Ebay use these pictures too.

Have you seen other buyers use the exact same pictures? It is a violation of copyright laws to use someone else's pictures without their permission, and that includes brand pictures that are on the Internet. Ebay has a library of stock photos people are allowed to use but other photos can be reported for copyright violation. I have a stock photo on one of my listings but it isn't a premier brand.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with the pictures being too big, especially stock photos from other websites. When I save those to my computer, they are usually smaller than the photos I took myself.

Yes, I have seen other sellers use the same stock photos. All of my pictures are of my own items. I take up close of the inside label, tags, front, back but I like to also post a stock photo of how the item looks on. I thought it was ok to use the stock photos, since I see other sellers doing that. Thanks for letting me know.

Is anyone else having trouble with PM? I listed two more items and now it won't take any of my pictures. These pictures are all mine. Up close of the tags, inside label etc. I had this issue the other week too.

I don't understand why so many of these sellers don't respond to offers. If you don't want to accept, why not counter? are they just not paying attention?

I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but 99% of the time when I send a counteroffer the person offering ignores. That doesn’t annoy me in of itself, but it is a huge problem because poshmark will not let you edit the listing at all for 24 hours after you send a counteroffer if the buyer does not respond. Therefore, if it sells elsewhere, if you realize that you need to change something in the description or if you want to add another photo you cannot do it for 24 hours. I get very nervous that someone will buy it in the meantime with an error in the description or waiting for a new photo they asked for. I have to set an alarm on my phone each time for the time I can go back and edit the listing. Every time I kick myself for counteroffering instead of declining, but declining just seems rude on the other hand. I think a lot of people are just selling on poshmark for a minute here or there while working a real job and managing a family, so it’s hard to find time to write messages back and forth. I agree that more business type sellers should respond to messages quickly and be willing to negotiate as long as the offer is close to their asking price.

That is a huge problem. I think it has happened to me that in the meantime it sold somewhere else and I couldn't end the listing. I like it best when buyers create a bundle and ask within the bundle if I would sell for x amount. Often you can figure out a price through messages and then make the offer once you've figured it out.

It's been a while since I had to do this, but I believe if you go in and edit the size, it cancels any offers and then you can mark not for sale or delete.

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

I have one listing from a long time ago I can't ever delete. I have it marked as not for sale. What happened is that I had several of one item. The way it works is that when a person buys one, the listing stays active and the quantity is just reduced. There is no way with this type of listing for a person to buy more than one. Someone wanted to buy four, and the only way I could figure out how to do that was to copy the listing and edit it so it was for 4 items, which was all I had. She bought the copy, and I've never been able to delete the original. No idea why not. Maybe because I had already sold one on it? But that sale shows as a separate listing in my sales. It's very confusing.

I completely agree! That works so much better. It has happened to me multiple times over the years that an item sold elsewhere while I still had a live counteroffer on Poshmark and it always makes me so nervous. I wish they would at least let you edit it as “not for sale” with a live offer.
