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:

It's just a habit, I think. I'm one of the lowballers sometimes- if I like something but it's definitely beyond my willingness to pay (eg, this anthropologie trench coat listed at $70. I'm willing to pay a lot more than that for a coat, but not for a used coat sight unseen over the Internet). It's not meant to be insulting, just to test the waters. I'd probably accept semi-lowball offers on my listed items :)

I can understand trying to get a good deal on used items. It does irritate me when people low ball items that are new with tags. I had a NWT shirt listed that I received as a gift last year, but never wore. It was $100 and I listed it for $25. Someone made an offer of $11, so I thought, well maybe she's willing to meet in the middle at $18, so I countered. She counter offered me $12!! Ugh! I think some people do set prices too high, but it doesn't make much sense to sell anything less than $10. As a seller, you are paying $2.95 commission on anything under $15. If I sell something for $5, it's not worth my time to package and mail it to earn $2.05. I'd rather donate it to charity.

Ok, now that's just a terrible offer. I'm sorry :(

I've been struggling to sell NWT items priced 80% off too. It's idiotic. Hard to get exposure unless you really invest in it. But I've had bad results with less-professional sellers so I'm kind of okay with that, I guess. Hoping my new DVF dress is okay! It was used and I paid about 40% of the lowest sale price I found online - so it'd better be.

I received a lovely shirt today, but it has a stain on the right arm which was not disclosed. I even asked.

This is my first time buying with Poshmark. I sent in a few pictures and am waiting to hear back. I hate things like this.

Anyways, it is a lesson learned.

:( :( :(

I finally finished my first PM sales experiences. Shockingly to me, it went REALLY well. I sold two pairs of boots (one pair designer, one pair not) to two ladies last week, mailed them out Monday, and they were received today. Both buyers really liked the boots and thanked me for the notes I included, which was so sweet of them... and both of them had made reasonable offers really quickly after they found the items, I think I sent 5 messages tops. Such a relief, I can't even tell you. phew!

About the lowball offers, are you ladies finding that the "Make an offer" button they just implemented is helpful in cutting down on the people who make offers in the comments section then run off after you have accepted?

Not really, in my experience. I had someone make an offer and then have no funds to back it up after I accepted. Posh was less than helpful.

Also, I still get offers in the comments from people claiming they don't see the "offer" button.

What happens if USPS doesn't scan a package upon delivery? I sent something early this week and the tracking hasn't updated since I dropped it off at the PO. It definitely should have been delivered by now. USPS can be unreliable when it comes to scanning packages. If I can't prove it was delivered will PM release the payment to me?
