People like that amaze me. I just honestly can't fathom their way of thinking. Did she hope to sell the item to someone else at a higher price? Is that it?

Clearly, she would've realized that you'd notice her activity on Poshmark and her 'I've been busy' excuse wouldn't fly. Does Poshmark have any penalties for sellers who don't ship within the allotted timeframe?

As a seller, I try to respond to messages as quickly as possible, and if the buyer decides to purchase, I usually ship the item the next day, sometimes even the same day if I have time to stop by the post office. Although I did have maybe two instances in the years that I've been selling stuff online (not just designer items) when I somehow forgot to reply to a message and ended up replying a few days later. I apologized and simply said that I forgot, without making up excuses. But those were just questions potential buyers had about the item, not them buying and then getting ignored.

She continues to tell me to "be patient." I have been patient for the past five days even without a reply. If Poshmark hadn't extended the shipping time by three days, I could've gotten my money back sooner. This morning I commented that I want a refund. Unfortunately Poshmark is fairly laxed when it comes to sellers like this. I no longer want the item as I feel quite disrespected. It would've been very easy for her to quickly say that she needs more time. I'm a pretty rational person but being blatantly ignored and told to "be patient" is a quick way to irritate a customer, especially when you're paying for expedited shipping. If she had sent it out several days ago, I probably would've had it by now. If she can't ship an item out then she shouldn't be selling in the first place.

There is really no excuse. People shouldn't be selling if they have no time to ship. I don't understand why she doesn't arrange to have the post office pick up the package from her house. They'll even come to the door for it, and these days with sheltering in place, most people are home all day anyway.

Exactly. All it would've taken is some clarity and celerity to keep a customer. It is really funny that she continues to push this "impatient customer" angle, when in reality I've been incredibly patient for five whole days even with her ignoring my comments. I had to tell someone else not to purchase from her in order to get a response. It says something about her.

Yes, I still have it. I have both bags. I've never carried it, only admired it. It could use a good cleaning.

This is still one of your craziest finds. Is the bag fabric and leather trimmed?

So Sakura, I sell on the Bay. I cannot believe she will not refund your money. If I'm late, I let that person know why. Often, I will send an extra gift. One time due to circumstances out of my control, I was extremely late. I refunded the money and sent the item to the person as a gift. Hopefully, you can give a bad rating.

That's just rude at this point.

I even gave her the instructions to refund my purchase. I truly hope that she either doesn't ship the item so that I can apply for a refund or she just accepts the refund. My fear is that she'll send it out in the next few days despite my responses. I don't want to spend that kind of money with somebody who does not value their customers.

Beautiful. I can't believe she continues to tell me to be patient, saying that I don't know why she's selling these items. If there's such dire financial situations they why would she take her sweet time to respond + ship?
