I just signed up for Poshmark a few days ago. They never got back to me. I was beginning to think I was going crazy.

I recently took a early retirement and I have been a part of running successfully several businesses and I believe the number one problem with Poshmark is the high shipping fee.

Hi there, Also, a lot of people have luck selling on Instagram. Its great for the handful who do make money but its antiquated in its design and their cut is highest Ive encountered. Surprisingly, eBay is the one where I havent gotten them. Do you have your listings as final sale? If it was Ebay that wouldnt fly. Its always heartening to see new folks finding it . This seriously angers me. The items were an UA shirt, TWO Victorias Secret Pink shirts plus pink dog, pink bag and ribbon, AE shorts and this Packers shirt.

Im getting so tired of people not accepting orders just because they couldnt bother to read, not to mention the rudeness when products dont fit them!

Makes it hard for sellers that are actually selling authentic things. Im new to PM, too. So I never used the app again. Poshmark doesnt have a 1-800 number and doesnt responds to emails.

Good luck ! So if they buy it on a Saturday afternoon and your local PO is closed it doesnt get shipped until Monday and, if Monday is a Federal Holiday then it gets shipped Tuesday and , that is held against your record of shipping even though you had no control over the days the PO was closed . Its bad for me and for customers walking by. I have sold about 600 items on posh so not a power seller but trying. Complete disaster. That was really the tipping point for me. Its not as social as Posh and people cant comment under items (dm only), so you dont feel like you have to be there:) Mercari is also quicker to respond when there is a problem. I cant invest anymore of my valuable time is some MANIPULATIVE website thats made up fancy language about sharing POSH LOVE and other B.S. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed they are taking a higher amount of taxes out of sales than the actual state rates? Wow! People lowball because they are cheap and want everything for free or close to it because the shipping isnt able to be asked for as free on the buyers side. I just started selling on Poshmark and sold one item thus far. Thanks to all for listening and sharing your eye-opening storiesIm sorry for all of us and most certainly will switch to another sales site (or set up my own online store)! Creeps asking for smelly socks with bacteria and toe jam. I am well aware of the ups and downs. Poshmark is so fortunate to have this base. If anyone else is interested, please message me or comment here because this SELLER ABUSE has got to stop. When you sold an item on another marketplace did you just delete it from Posh or just put not for sale on it? Where is the merchandise coming from? Hope everyone finds their happy spot. Look out for your money. Is the jacket in the pic not the one she would send if someone bought it? It takes more time than it is worth and Im seeing the writing on the wall before going any further.

(I think 3 and up stars only show) I honestly would have taken pictures of it to show the stains and tagged her name stating it was a bigger problem than described. But if this continues to happen then I will have to find some other venue to self. Ugh Im about to shut it down! Personally I never sell used clothing and shoes, these types of items I feel should be donated to the needy. Again, lack of concern and respect for sellers on Poshmark is one of the reasons I left. Best of luck and keep me posted! To delete a Poshmark account, be sure to first redeem any outstanding sale balances if you've recently sold items on the app. I have only had 3 cases opened and 1 was for sending the wrong size shoes and the other was for sending the wrong color shorts both were my mess-up and i honored the return no problem at all. Expensive items seem risky for the buyer and the seller. She says in her complaint, I wear a small and this does not fit like a medium I want a refund on this shirt. Seriously? Thinking she thinks I took it off line and sold it which is not true. ( maybe crammed her fat butt into it and tore it ?) Sorry meant to say very nice NEW designer items, above! even when the tags are attached theyre still trying to get something for nothing and thats the frustrating part! Do they care? I feel like A. they buyer regrets their purchase or B. they are trying to pull some sort of scam. What one person considers EUC may actually be just good to another person, so some basic elaboration is necessary. So now, I have to decide if I want to return everything, or keep this stupid rag that I wouldnt even donate to Goodwill. I grew my closet, made many sales, became a suggested user with a 5 star rating. Theres a lot of room for improvement. At that point you have to provide a receipt or COA, and wait. Really????

My honest opinion on PM: It is great for someone like me I am a graduate student who likes to shop.
