What??? I am documenting my packaging & item just to be safe. I want to open my own shop but am unsure as to how i can get myself out there(i dont have any personal social media). Best I can tell, the rings were bought from a Chinese site for $1 $3 each and sold for around $200. An thats what this women did !!! Almost not worth trying to sell. What really upset me was that I had one buyer that did not like the lycra content in the jeans I sold her. I devoured blogs that were dedicated to people making side hustles and full-time jobs out of online sales. Thanks so much for this great article, Penny! Poshmark is so fortunate to have this base. And to get there? Im easy to find just look anywhere online for Hillarys of Houston, Im the owner. Im curious to see if your still successful using shopify or if your thoughts are still the same. He had flown it, crashed it, and was trying to return it. Since they dont have a way of addressing their use, they need to permit all sellers to use these tools, to level the playing field. I dont have the time in my life to consider these ridiculous offers or haggle with pretense buyers. You certainly dont see anyone sending $5 offers to Macys, Target, or Zara, do you?. My attempts at eBay, Vinted, Mercari and Im sure one or two others were a no-go for me so Tradesy and Poshmark have been my staples for a year now. When it comes to the best platforms for selling clothes online then Poshmark is surely on the list. The buyer, with three followers, complained that my new Reed Krakoff bag smelled like manure and was stained all over. The description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. I always wonder where people get the time to have 1 million shares. Creeps asking for smelly socks with bacteria and toe jam. One of the reasons I pay that 20% is because Posh gives buyers some kind of peace of mind. You never know .it might get some traction. There are plenty more who are willing to pay a fair price! Hi Amber! Dont worry we got the answer in this post, stay tuned! Good luck selling! I quit because of all of the points you noted with the primary issue being horrid customer support. I hate that people are being scammed and the sellers appears to have made a few thousand dollars. Have my own closet now for about 3 weeks, so I am brand-new and havent made a sale yet. I hope this works out for you! Hello? On Depop my number #1 tip for dealing with lowballers is to not negotiate via the comments. Well the folks at poshmark know the same thing. The only reply you will ever get is copied and pasted a million times over. Thanks for any advice! My daughter wanted to make some extra money so she decided to sell some clothing. Let me share a buyers story. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Also until I learned how to use the closet and the bundle features I was getting discounted prices all over the place when I didnt want to ask for prices so I learned how to just click and buy it instead of bundling it. Some new poshers especially are so eager for a sale that they will bend over backwards and come down in priceway down. Wtf??? Very onesided. Sorry this happened to you. its a side job for me but I had a lot of experience on eBay and realize that the best thing I could do to save myself time was to put everything in the description. This way I am assured that I am covered if on the off chance someone else wishes to pull the same stunt! My best friend is a dermatologist and she identified them. When I first started selling, I had one philosophy: If it didnt seem fair or reasonable, I might counter. A few weeks later, she came back to me with a better offer, which I considered reasonable, but I will not ship on OfferUp, so there went that sale. or they like too many things. I was very detailed in my descriptions as well and was referring to the people that continually ask questions without looking at the description first. Bullying, gaming up on me. Can you tell me how/where I go to do that? eBay gives you 12. I have to disagree, on some level, with the troll label you use. I appreciate your post. Im glad I took the time to read these comments regarding these sites because now I can narrow down the ones to stay away from!! I have been selling on posh for over a year without any issues. Maybe its buyers remorse for spending $1k on a bag? If the buyer doesnt like what they got, they return it to Tradesy and Tradesy resells it, so there is a lot more seller protection there. These are basic financial concepts that apply to many other aspects of life. Considering another site. Its not what you make (Gross), its what You Keep (Net). If you ready peoples complaints on ebay (buyers never paying, sellers canceling, fake items, etc) or any other place I feel like they are all basically the same. Have been selling and buying (a lot more buying LOL) since March, just to clean out my closet and re-sell nicer items that I just dont wear anymore. What the fuck is wrong with people. She charged me 250 .I get the wig and its horrible,there are threads hanging out of it,its just not what the picture that I ordered looked like. Poshmark has some scummy sellers and buyers period!! To all that are good at ityou have my respect. I found something to make me feel better about those low-ball offers people feel it is ok to make on Poshmark. Thank you again though! I am new to Poshmark (less than a month) and I have to say that I am definitely buying more than I am selling. In some cases for lower end items I will flat out accept and did that with a belt and a tee shirt this past week. Going crazy, any ideas? She ordered on 3/15, she RECEIVED the item on 3/19. In the meantime, while I was waiting out the 8-day cancellation period, a different seller listed one of the tops I ordered, but I couldnt buy it because the first seller could still ship and then Id end up with two. Share tips and tricks, make new PFFs, and banter about. Your perspective is valued but wait until you get the gutter rats who comment calling you a whore for no reason Bc you declined an offer and explained why and they cuss you out. Heres the link: http://bigcommerce.evyy.net/c/380173/185949/2941. I try to gather up really large bags of things in great condition so its not a waste of my time taking the subway and waiting in line (pre-pandemic, now you have to make an appointment or drop off and come back later). Super simple and easy! At first I didnt realize you need to share your closet and not just list and let it sit there. So I took all of my inventory and createdmyown online store calledShop Stylaphile. It is the nature of the beast. I sold lots of things that came as distressed inventory from a huge metalworking tooling company, industrial supply, tools, clothing. What a piece of absolute garbage!!! As someone who has been selling on Ebay for over 25 years, I just started selling on Poshmark in Nov 2021. Any advice you can give me is so appreciated. Immediately I knew. That is just disturbing! If you dont like or want to negotiate a price then this site isnt for you. Once I received notification of the accusation and reply to Poshmark through email and phone, despite my great reputation on the site, I got no response and had the item returned to me. At this point, it may be best I dont even if they allow me to. Poshmark will sink or swim on this crap. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for taking the time to write this! Blockingonly did once on a buyer with a return item she said was filthy and covered with cat hair. Not strictly a safe assumption. Most of the advice was to ridiculously raise prices in order to corner the market. My best advice is to list your items on PoshMark and leave the Crushing, sharing listings and Pavlov dogs to someone else and get on with enjoying your life. Well today, for the first time, I received an email from Posh stating that a case had been opened against me. what else would i do ? ) I have a pair that Ill be happy to sell you! Do you think we should go online independently like you did if we are much smaller business? Seriously. Maria, this is terrible! Thank goodness I purchase everything on my American Express and I immediately opened a dispute with them. Although I have dealt with many nice and honest sellers as well!!!! She hasnt even responded. I hover around 50 or so listings, so not a huge closet, but its nice to make a few dollars here and there. This is where the problem comes in I have been waiting on a direct deposit since Dec. 3rd, I also have an order that hasnt been fulfilled! I would love to check alternative ways to sell my stuff. It was a surprisingly emotional experience to realize I fell for this. Joke-mark. I videotaped myself opening the box and sent it to them. I contact the seller and she blocked me. Youll get a full voicemail box, no way to make contact with a live person and no one will respond to your emails. I am thinking of going back to EBay but havent sold on there in years since I got scammed when selling a Louis Vuitton wallet and the seller claimed they never received it, so I am very nervous!! People who are used to buying fast fashion junk (and Zara is definitely fast fashion, cheaply made junk) need to stop making lowball offers on quality designer items. I deducted that they were probably too small for her. even though its a side job if youre going to get annoyed bc someone asked you 3-4 questions* not listed in your description* then why bother selling? List On Tradesy, etsy, eBay, and as many websites as you can so that you dont get caught up in PoshMarks TIME SUCK MACHINE and squander your weekends away. It is okay to simply decline the offer without making a counteroffer. You get what you put into it! I had someone offer me $5. ), but your perspective was invaluable. So happy I read this! I am quitting at the end of the month. Thats not to say that the offer is the right one, or that you should sell for what theyre suggesting, but then again, is your listing colored by your love of the garment in question? When the buyer received her item she filed for a return. I only sell things that I would buy myself; if there is too much wear I will either throw it away or donate it. Hi Nelia! Or you could open your own online store on BigCommerce too. The unfortunate story is- now I have a ripped handbag and it was smashed into a small package which also ruined the shape. I also never bought anything particularly expensive. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Ive had some freaky good success on Tradesy with my purses/wallets. Following the tip above about Commenting on the Offer-Makers closet you want to use this phrase either on their Meet the Posher page, or on one of their sold listings and you need to be sure you include their @username so they see it in their feed. Hi Bernice, when I was active on Poshmark, I certainly cross-posted all of my listings to eBay and Tradesy. In the event I dont get my money from sales or purchases after this incident, Im not sure what to do. I sent all this info to poshmark and they replied for awhile and then nothing! If so how there are no email addresses to market to them. Etsy has the safest /best protection for sellers. I have 73k followers and Im a Suggested User. It may be slow but I kind of like the process of it all, you know? The items were an UA shirt, TWO Victorias Secret Pink shirts plus pink dog, pink bag and ribbon, AE shorts and this Packers shirt. I hate when a seller will say an item is beyond damaged notifies fake issues in pics (believe me they do it) and keep my items as she gets her money back and my item for free and I also get reimburst and low and behold find them on Facebook wearing it!! I responded to Poshmark and informed them that the zipper worked perfectly when it was shipped, but they sided with the buyer and returned the item to me. I did come across many people who had problems with support. I told her when spending that kind of money, you have to be careful. If I get banned because of this comment. Hi! Think Ill go back to my original plan of opening a Big Commerce store and use their multi-chanel option, since I also sell on eBay (and dont plan to quit). Do not give them a try. But I have had 3 files opened up on etsy and they sided with me all 3 times. You are in this to make money, right? i agree: i refused to give ebay my bank account or ss number so i quit selling there. Etc. So sorry you had to experience that! The community can also experience the magic that happens when the Posh community sells together. I sometimes spend all day sharing and following other Poshmark closets trying to get a sale. Thank you so much Sydney! I found out today you can list on Posh via the computer now (instead of the teeny tiny cell phone screen) and I thought Id try out. I cant believe people are this way! Brilliant for them because they have users devoted to bearing their system, horrible for users because it is so draining that burnout is common. I am looking to get into the job of reselling making something strong. Im slowly building a following and directing traffic to my ShopStylaphile.com through my blog and my social media sites. I am so glad I found this blog! I recently found a very unusual top, by a designer from Lebanon. I have so so many high end items on there without any problems but I think I had just been lucky until now. Good morning! And yes, they dont give a crap about the sellers!!! Exactlythere is none. They said it was snagged all over. Hi. I had my absolute last straw with them tonight. I assure you that I DO NOT own any fake items, but to me is more mind boggling that some how the buyer and Poshmark were able to make this assumption in such item. HOW is that possible ?
