I mainly use it for boxes and dust bags. I have posted a few things on there. The fees are outrageous and I get the most low balling offers it's ridiculous.

Oh another thing I hate is "Trade?"

I cringe when I see fakes. I've reported a few but they're still there. I'm such a troll. lol

What I hate even more is when they just say 'trade' and don't even bother with a question mark lol

Did the seller or eBay tell you that you could not return? You could have absolutely returned the CL if they were not authentic, it's illegal to sell fakes, doesn't matter whether the seller said they are or are not authentic you could have forced a return.

Keep in mind you can always have the shoes authenticated before you purchase them her on the CL forum.

The seller said that I could not return because she never actually said they were authentic. I believed her, it was the very first thing I bought on ebay. She was very smug about it, I think that is what really made me angry. She just turned around and said to sell them again!

It doesn't matter whether the seller says something is authentic or not. The law requires that any item with a brand name or logo be authentic. Even if the seller admits an item is fake (or inspired, knockoff, faux, replica or any other synonym or euphemism for counterfeit), it's still not legal to sell it.

It's been a few years now, but it still makes me angry - mostly because as I mentioned she was so smug about the entire sale.

I did a little digging through my files and this is what the seller said when I called her out on the shoes being fake -

Hi--I am sorry you are bummed. I am confused because I was clear in my description that I had no guarantees of authenticity. I was trying to be clear about that in my description because I also was not sure. I did not study them as closely as you. I also was sure to list them as "CL" rather than Christian Loubs because I didn't want to post something that I wasn't 100% positive about. My description for the listing is below.

"These were given to me as a gift and are beautiful shoes. I do not have a receipt or know where they were purchased therefore can not offer any authenticity guarantees."

Sorry;(

She also said in her description that the look of the shoes matched other pairs that she had in her closet. She went on to say that she was done with ebay-ing - though she's still on the site three years later! She ended up refunding me $50, my out of pocket ended up being $150.00 - lesson learned!
wish it wasn't too late to report her!

SORRY TO BE OFF TOPIC A BIT -

I bought fake CLs on Posh. They were very subtlely described not as replicas but as "mirrors," which is a Posh code word. Luckily I figured this out before they were shipped and asked the seller to cancel the order -- she did rather than have me report her. So it turned out okay. But there are a LOT of fakes, I don't think it's really an enforced policy.



Posh is just not a professional place for shopping like eBay. There's a lot more chattiness and community stuff. Which I'm usually okay with, but when it's like teenagers admiring Zara and quibbling over $5, there's a lot of crap to wade through for any actual shopping!

Oh man! I'm glad you caught that before it was shipped!

I totally agree! There's so much clutter. Already started to see so many listings of the Alexander wang x hm collaboration =\

or, as a buyer, i ask a very legitimate yes/no question like "are there scuffs or nicks on these shoes?" and the answer is -- "I'ts in very good condition like you see in the pictures!" (No, I don't, HUN. You chose to use teensy instagram pictures.)

There's so much waste in general I think sellers assume I'm wasting their time and so it's totally fine to waste mine. After my first two excellent Posh purchasing experiences I'm finding that was an anomaly... ugh

Why do I have almost 600 followers when I have not a single thing for sale in my closet!?

I'm only there for the Jcrew!
Click to expand...

Yes! I am totally baffled by this as well. I only go on now and then to look for specific things but I have all these followers. I don't sell anything or have anything in my closet!
And yes, the Hun word usage makes me crazy.....

i think that's that's the standard size for pictures, well at least on the app. haven't been on PM on the desktop. and 4 is the max.

i agree that there's so much waste. PM is a wasteland where fakes, dust bags, boxes and unwanted items go to die. lol

The list goes on and on lol. It's too bad because I really did like Poshmark when I first joined but somehow it just went downhill really quickly.

i'm surprised the amount of people and items that are for sale with their fees high and all. i feel like if i post anything there will always be ten other people with the same exact item for 10 times cheaper.

Yeah, I know it's PM's fault that the pics are fuzzy - I'm not judging anyone for that. But that's why I'm asking for confirmation with words, on the record! It's really shady when someone's not willing to say "x scuffs, x stains" or puts up photos only from certain angles. Ebay sellers know better, PM does not.



SO MUCH CRAP. But then I bought $600 suede boots new for $20! so I really don't want to leave it entirely...

I have a wardrobe in poshmark, but lately I have started using http://www.vinted.com/ and it's really nice too, I easily find a lot of clothes I like, you should check it out :)

I was harassed by a fake Chanel seller on Vinted over private messages. It was unpleasant. =/

I might give them another look but I value the no-message platform on Posh - it does mean ppl are generally more polite.
