Did she really just compare herself to a mannequin 😒😒😒

Lol, yes! I explained that I used the mannequin for display only, not to show the fit. I also explained that mannequin figures are usually not proportionate to human bodies so that is not the best way to determine how clothing will fit on her. I provided both the US & European sizes thinking I was covering my bases. I feel really bad that she didn't like the fit. Hopefully she can make it work somehow or resell it. She got an amazing deal... she probably could turn around and sell it for a profit.

^^Exactly!

I think I am about done with PM. I've gotten more low-ball offers plus I had someone question my pricing on an item yesterday. I will keep my items up until the end of the year and then I am done.

Low ball offers drive me nuts. I'm just like...if you think it's too much don't buy it.


I recently had someone ask me to bundle a couple things which I have no problem doing and I even knocked a few dollars off. She didn't even buy it. Wtf.

I've had 0 success selling so far. Just bought a Joie sweater (priciest individual item so far) that was horribly pilled and had a giant food stain on a sleeve. Unacceptable for almost $50.

I am pretty upset and probably won't buy from PM again. Definitely not the same seller. If it weren't to avoid the headache...

I have horrible luck with sweaters on PM. They usually have major pilling and are shrunk from them putting the owner putting the sweater in the dryer rather than drying it flat.

Me too. I bought a Tse sweater that came shrunk as though it were a crop top and with a big hole in the back.

Glad I didn't splurge on any others. I think sweaters are hard to maintain and thus hard to find preloved.

Yeah, I'm PISSED. It takes so long to buy anything on PM too, bc people don't state condition so you have to pull the info out of them... and the search function sucks... and I bought from a "top seller"! Ugh.

So, this is the end of my PM fangirling. My first experience, in which I bought 3 pairs of designer Italian made boots (retail $400-700 each) for $72, was so amazing that I stayed on... but now I'm so done with all of it.

i have been a posher for a while, back when they first started. i only buy now. people are just either lowballing or asking to trade. my last purchases were absolutely dissapointing. i got a fake hermes belt which seller passed off as authentic. i also returned a rebecca minkoff MAC that was a fake. 😞

Wow, two fakes?!? Ugh... I haven't initiated any returns yet; the one disappointing order had three pieces I adored and two I didn't, but could see myself wearing in the future - and they were properly represented, they just didn't look good on, haha. Even the stained pilly sweater is cute enough that I am keeping it. I did leave accurate, not-positive feedback (3 stars) but I would have regretted returning, I think. It's super cute. I am addicted to chunky oversized sweaters.

UPDATE: After whining about my crappy experiences, I ended up placing two more orders today. Whelp. I guess I'm addicted to Posh now... but $55 for a snakeskin-print DVF dress + $43 for amazing Ferragamo boots... I would kick myself if I let those get away.

I've found lowballing to be quite the norm on the site. There's a difference between trying to make a deal for both the buyer and the seller, and the buyer walking away with a steal. Had someone offer 5 dollars on a Vera Bradley purse I'm trying to sell. It's not high fashion, but if I'm already asking 10 I think that's a pretty good deal already! :oh:
