“In clothing, I recently sold a top for about $1,500, I consider it was low middle range in clothing.” 😂😂🤣🤣
Don't worry. You'll get your refund. This is a case of she said, she said, and there is no way to prove who is telling the truth so they will give your refund and probably offer some store credit to appease the seller. I had a buyer return a bag that she had damaged. Poshmark gave her a complete refund. When I complained they gave me $60 store credit that didn't come close to covering my loss.
Why don't you put on your listing, "price as is no offers accepted". As a buyer, I always offer lower than the listed price, unless the buyer has posted price is firm.

Thank you whateve, I do feel better now. I would never scam anyone, my husband just had his 9th heart attack, I’m having a HUGE milestone bday in a few weeks and I thought getting this bag that I searched for would make for a lighter mood in my life but the seller sucked the happiness out of my plan. Thankfully though I was able to find another bag on Posh and hopefully this transaction will be easy. Again I thank everyone who responded. Have a great night!
If that is low middle range, then what would the tops I have listed for under $50 be?
I think Poshmark has an upper limit of $50,000. Can you imagine if you shipped a $50,000 item and it got lost in the mail? Would Posh's insurance cover that?
I haven’t listed clothing under $1,000 in recent years because been busy, haven’t got that much time to deal with them. Maybe when I get more time later I will list and sell them. I think selling $50 items can be fun, I just don’t have time doing that now.
The reason I mentioned a recent sale was trying to say to another seller not to too stressed about selling higher priced clothings.

Oh no! I haven't been asked and wouldn't really like that either. Although drivers license is Much better than SS #.
Wow, just to buy something? I can't imagine why. You don't need to do that for other sites you buy online, do you? I wonder if it is state specific?
I remember being asked for a copy of DL. Most likely, when you hit a certain threshold/amount, they might ask to verify your identity to prevent fraud.
If you are a seller, they will ask for your SSN due to 1099k reporting requirements to IRS. It is legal (same for eBay, PayPal and other payment processors).
If you don’t sell - just buy, you don’t need to provide your SSN, just ID.
Not that I'm aware of! I live in MA. Don't really want to scan my license or passport for them...
I'm just wondering why they would need a copy of my drivers license or passport, even when my online banking asks for verification they don't ask for that info.
I know there was a new law passed in February (?) that says you need to provide certain info but I don't need Poshmark having my SSN and license info... The law just said identity needs to be verified. Poshmark has had so many data breaches I'm a bit hesitant. I haven't sold for quite a while, at least 8 years and I'm not selling presently.
Thank you!
I've very skittish about my SS#. I got a notice that my data was breached in the AT&T thing. they offered a year of identity protection. I was going to do it but when I went to sign up they wanted my SS# online. I bailed.
It is IRS requirement for them to collect SSN if your gross sales on the platform is over $600 (the threshold might go up if the latest law will pass in Congress). All payment processors are required to comply with the reporting laws - it is to ensure adequate reporting transparency. If you don't provide your SSN, you can't sell more than the required threshold on the platform - same applicable for eBay, Venmo, PayPal - any marketplace intermediary that collects and remits payments. You can read about the legal requirements online - just google IRS 1099K reporting.
