I need to vent! :rant:

This has been a bad week for me on PoshMark. :shucks: First, I've gotten several low-ball offers and requests for trades. The icing on the cake was when I got a bad rating this morning on a sale I made earlier this week. It was a NWT designer item originally priced at $785, the buyer purchased it for $50. It had a minor flaw which was disclosed in the description and clearly shown in the photos. She bought it on Tuesday and I dropped it off at the PO the same day (even though it was a postal holiday). It was packaged nicely and securely and I contacted her when I shipped the item.

Last night she accepted the item and "liked" it on my listing, but for some reason this morning left me 3 stars and commented, "Could improve".

Other than hand-delivering the item or giving it to her for free, I'm not sure what I could have improved upon. :confused1: I sent her a message a few minutes ago; hopefully she'll respond as I'm really curious to hear what she was unhappy about!

Just heard from my buyer... she was upset because the dress didn't fit her as well as it fit my mannequin. I have no words...

She did offer to change the rating she gave me but I don't think she can change it.

Good week for buying on PM!

Bought a gorgeous Jcrew skirt for 80%+ off due to pin holes in the waist from the dry cleaners. I was willing to take the risk due to a thread about wetting fabric to shift threads. And it was a success! Not even 5 minutes of my time!

Now I'm stalking my next conquest. It'll be perfect for Christmas.

The only downside is how many packages I keep getting! The other day the mail woman dropped a clear postal bin full to the brim at my doorstep.

I try to hide what I can but of course they always come on Wednesday when I work late!

A lot of buyers have been requesting that I lower my prices so that they can get free/reduce shipping rates via PM's shipping promotions. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I had a pretty annoying experience with a buyer recently. I was selling a MBMJ bag for a REALLY good price. She still wanted lower (As per usual on Posh), so I finally accommodated. I mean, this girl was gonna get a steal.

Then she asked to make the price high again and then re-lower it for the free shipping. I did it, but it didn't work. I think you can only lower it once a week or something to be eligible for the free shipping.

Anyways, she kept asking me to lower it on specific days and times for the free shipping, it was crazy! And then of course (As per usual on Posh again) when the free shipping didn't kick in I never heard from her again.

Ugh. So tired of Posh lol.

Wow, that does sound quite annoying!

I am really getting fed up with all the low-ball offers. I've been ignoring most offers but I will counter if the original offer isn't insulting. I had to block one girl because she wouldn't make an official offer, she kept making insultingly low offers via messages. She seemed to be a new member so I chalked it up to inexperience, but I decided to block her because she was so obnoxious.

Another person contacted me via eBay to make an offer on an item I have listed on PM! I have nothing listed on eBay so I was dumbfounded as to why she didn't just message me on PM and/or make an offer there. She made a low-ball offer, I countered at $5 more than her offer, and she rejected it. :pullhair:

Hahah it amazes me how ballsy they are! They probably thought you'd give a better deal through eBay since they're fees are somewhat lower than Posh. I always get asked "what's your lowest directly through Paypal" or "is this listed anywhere else?"

Ok, that makes sense - I didn't even think of that! I just directed her back to PM and told her to make an offer there. I guess she wasn't happy about that, lol!
