sorry....I can't find the Posh thread this morning so asking here. I got a message on my Posh account saying someone had added one of my items to their bundle. I opened it and there was just the one item. I didn't know if she wanted to buy it or what. I messaged her saying do you want to buy this bag for the listing price. No answer.
So - I've put things into bundles before just playing around, deciding if I wanted to buy. Would that result in a message to the seller?
This morning I sent an offer to this person offering the item at a slightly lower price.

I have had similar issues. I think some people don't realize they are adding items to a bundle. At least half of the people who have created bundles don't respond to messages I've left in their bundle. I assume they should get notification of the messages but I guess it depends on their notification settings. If they don't respond to messages, they usually don't respond to offers either.

With my notification settings, when a person creates a bundle I don't get an email but I do see it in my "news". If I don't do anything about it, usually the next day I'll get another notification in my news about the bundle.

she actually bought the bag at the reduced price I offered her
I don't know what the bundle was about. maybe a way for her to generate an offer from me. I'm losing a bit on this bag but glad to sell it.
thanks for responding @whateve

The seller is notified when bundles are created. It’s too easy to accidentally hit the bundle button so most of the time (9/10 times) if you get a bundle notification it’s bc their finger slipped. Lol

thanks :smile:
since I have so little history and only one item for sale now, it would be nice if buyers could see those five star ratings

I have over 100 sales. People can see it if they scroll through my listings but I doubt many people get that far down on the page. On my stats page, it says I'm a top seller and top rated seller but no one can see that but me. I have never gotten less than 5 stars. I think few people give less than 5 stars.

The good thing is that the playing field is even. Even when I didn't have much experience, I still was able to make sales.

I like how convenient they make it with the prepaid shipping label provided

Over 100 sales is great!!! I have some wonderful repeat buyers now that are so nice. They have left me some Love Notes and said to buy from me. One of them shared 50 of my items. I finally figured out how to share other seller's items. I love PM. It's so much better than having to deal with all of the Tradesy issues. I get paid in less than 3 days. Don't have to call or email Tradesy to see when my funds will finally be deposited. So far I have not had one return.

I'm in the top 10% of sharers on PM. Every time someone shares one of my items, I share two of theirs. I don't know if it helps me make sales but it might.

I love the quick payment too. Most buyers don't have inflated expectations, which is a welcome change from ebay. I did have one return but it was painless.

since my sales have been for pretty small amounts, I've used the proceeds from one sale to buy something else on Posh and will probably do the same with the proceeds from this recent sale
