So I bought this Silver XL Studded Selma bag from Poshmark but it has stains and damage I wasn't aware of after asking the seller.. Mainly cosmetic and I've tried wiping them off... The app offered me $10 to keep the bag... Or I can send it back and get my $140.. What do you think? I'm torn because the grey with silver studs in the XL is hard to find.

Depends how much it bugs you. I've had good luck using a baby wipe or leather cleaner for stains on saffiano - maybe worth a try?

It doesn't bother me horribly, but I just feel a little scammed. I tried Clorox wipes which have worked on most of the stains but the one in the front it didn't. I'm more so upset the seller didn't describe this when I asked and the photos were misleading.
I'll try the leather cleaner! Thank you for the suggestion!!

Yep I've had that happen, sellers should be upfront about everything. If the cleaner doesn't get out the stain I'd send it back. Major noticeable stains would bother me personally.

First of all, a $10 refund is nothing. Ask for at least 20-30%. You should get a refund that covers the work you have to put in and the products you buy. The seller has been misleading and witheld information on purpose that could have led to you not buying in the first place? I guess you have to find out if it bothers you so much that it takes away some of the joy of having the bag. If that is the case, then return it. Chances are it will sit in the dustbag and not be used. On the other hand, if you think that you will use it anyway, then keep it. As you say, it is very hard to get. Good luck deciding.

I agree $10 is less than 10% and really a joke. However poshmark offers the price to keep it so I can't really negotiate on getting more money. It's really either the $10 to keep me quiet and keep the bag or send it back and get what I spent. I guess I am indecisive because I really like the color and silver studs but I know I am picky as many of us are and will stare at the flaws. I think I'll try to see if I can remove the stains as steph suggested and make a decision quickly.

Are you sure they'll let you return it now that you have treated the bag in order to remove stains? I haven't used Poshmark, but on the similar sites here in Norway you return the item "as it was" when you recieved it. Could the seller decline to accept the bag in return as it is not in the same condition ( all though is much better)?

Good question. I've already started to clean it. So she would be getting back a bag in better condition than I received it. Whoops. I should have thought that through.

Ugh how annoying, hopefully the return goes smoothly! Wasn't meant to be, another one will pop up :)

Well the seller is already messaging me complaining that the photos showed the conditions.. Even though I also asked her to confirm conditions.
Anyway, I told her I'm not here to argue but please sell this to someone else. She will get her bag back in better condition since I tried to clean it as you suggested and it looked a bit better. Gah

Did she mention or picture the broken clasp. If not, it's SNAD. Return it. It's her problem & she should have been honest about the condition of the bag.
