Youve inspired me to get off my bum and actually bring my online boutique to life. Hi Christine! An older women and didnt realize makeup is duplicated. Any advice you could offer of how to get my good Poshmark buyers to buy from my own website outside of Poshmark? I would certainly recommend looking into BigCommerce (http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt) to set up your online store or Shopify if you have some HTML coding knowledge. I made sure that she knew that my feedback was not meant to offend, but was meant to help her improve her descriptions, and that I had no intention of returning the dress. And dont even get me started on the wholesale portal! And forget about offering gallery-quality jewelry on Poshmark. Happy poshing! Ive been selling on Poshmark in a niche market vintage. Congrats on your decision to start your own site. In my 3rd purchase attempt, the seller cancelled the transaction without letting me know. If it is someone who lives in your area and wants to meet to transact (Ive done this and saved the individual the shipping fee), then meet in a public place where others are around and tell them it is cash only!!!! Its not! The first time I was active for three years and did pretty well, however, when Poshmark opened their platform to all markets, enter the trolls, the scammers, the perverts, and the con artists. Definitely, a scientist/techie type who has no fashion background; in addition, when you read his various statements, hes very theoretical. Poshmark is refunding the buyers money because of minor skuff marks. I only once had an issue and thank God it was resolved on my favor. First it blows my mind that people will pay for designer dusty bags and empty shoe boxes but hey, that thats just me. After years of it some just get tired of it. They havent responded to me in months now! HOW is that possible ? Not so. Louise, I havent been very active on the site in a while so Im unaware that are postings like this out there. They take weeks to answer your questions and Ive had to cancel a bunch of orders because they failed to ship within seven days. Im not sure how much longer it will work for anyone. They have very poor business practices to say the least. My daughter bought it and it did not fit. Lmao! I just bought it. Im easy to find just look anywhere online for Hillarys of Houston, Im the owner. Their fees are higher, but totally worth it to me. Well Poshmark authorizes the RETURN !!!!! NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS AT ALL!! Poshmark started doing well and getting attention almost as soon as it began. Well give it a few more months and see if its all worth it. With no sharing, following, or any kind of maintenance at all. Yes, if you count the number of hours you spend trying to sell a $10 pair of pants, you definitely havent earned a profit. The 25-year-old sells thrifted clothing and accessories through an app called Poshmark. PM has made me not visit the mall for a 3 weeks now, so it has made me save some money and get REALLY good second hand stuff. If so how there are no email addresses to market to them. The item I got back was totally damaged and used and the other one was not in a new state anymore. I like many others found after looking for info on returns on Poshmark as I just got my first big dollar return. The sad part is that she has a closet of her own and could have easily re-sold the NEW shirt in her own closet and made more than she paid for it. I always say that the truth always comes out. This delays my shipping time. I commented benignly again, so her followers wouldnt really know what was going on. I received an email stating it was removed because it was counterfeit! I am accustom to going over ALL my samples with a fine tooth comb. In the upper right corner, click on the 3 dots. I have become frustrated quickly with Posh. Im done with them! if I cant offer a fair price for something I wouldnt bother insulting people with lowball bs. and who is CLEARLY either: 1. pulling a bait-and-switch with her own damaged bag (again, in her one photo, you cant even see the entire bag, whereas I have 8 photos of my bag in the listing) OR Poshmark is a social marketplace created by Manish Chandra where people can buy and sell fashion online. Wow, how rude. Too many scammers and Poshmark does nothing to help either party. Ugh Im about to shut it down! The very first item I ever put up, a $35 faux leather jacket I had worn 3 times from Arizona Jeans Co. I lost. If you want to keep selling, you need to avoid getting caught. Thank you. Everything youve said is 100% true!!!! You betcha ! Caitlin, I also never bought anything particularly expensive. I do not like that this site has no way to message, and you cannot see, to my knowledge, peoples reviews. So after about 5 emails that took a month to get an actual response, I was told that I hadnt removed the listing explaining how to spot a scammer. She did not ask the percentage before buying. So I took all of my inventory and createdmyown online store calledShop Stylaphile. An update on my situation, in case anyone cares.. the eBay guy was of course refunded his money. But they have approved the request and the bag is now in transit back to me. I have to disagree, on some level, with the troll label you use. I have no idea where else to sell it though I know you recommend Ebay but are there any easy alternatives which have more, appropriate, seller protection? 3-4 occasions where something was not as described or damaged when I got it and they accept the return or gave me a posh Credit in one instance but in other cases they have totally back me up. If you have vintage, those items seem to sale faster there. Ive had to cancel orders because the seller just ignores the purchase and never sends the item. Block, report, and move on. People who offered reasonable prices were ostracized. I dont have a lot of experience with buying wholesale, as most of my items either come directly out of my closet or are things I pick up at consignment stores that either dont fit me or that I think a customer would like. I feel like there is a giant stigma around the word 'blocking'. From my experience as a merchant, there is no monthly listing fee on Tradesy. How about the time wasters who want to communicate offsite without any intention of buying anything? The cost to market my site to get effective sales is also a financial burden. Outside all the reasons most of the comments have said- mostly scammers, rude people and the absolutely worst customer service in the history of online sales I mean, honestly when its worse than eBay, that is sayin something, I think that its really being overlooked just how much Poshmark is expected to consume a persons life just to sell a $35 skirt, pack it prettily, rush it to the post office, wait for someone to get off their ass and accept it while praying they dont ding you with less than 5 Stars. I purchased a name brand handbag for a very low price. Besides all the fake purses, etc., I wonder about fake clothing. Im actually leaving PM this week. Also if you go on youtube there are tons of videos on reselling, online business, etc. They fail to realize if it wasnt for the sellers they would not exist its not the buyers keeping them afloat. When do you ever have time for family, your home, and kids? They emailed him back directing him to the app step by step how to start a claim process. So happy I read this! . NOT GOOD. Select the Action Menu (.). It just baffles me how people can do stuff like that! And an update for board poshmark approved the buyers return and their comment was not enough images of damage its a large tote not sure how to do all sides and inside with 4 pictures. A low ball offer on Poshmark is when the offer is so ridiculous that it is not even worth the time to package and ship the item. Def the worst I have heard!! I suddenly remember why I hate Poshmark, I started using it again and people have the nerve to ask me for $20-$35 discounts. I am beyond livid. Although when I replied I didnt contact them though customer service email, there is a drop down on the sales page that allows you to access the original case and the email goes to the investigator. I know the seller can offer a discount or free shipping but then you have to add that amount to make your profit especially on low dollar amount items it just doesnt work . Heres the link: https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business. I try to keep off the grid as much as possible. It would be less frustrating if it were on an used item, but I have a buyer now reporting to poshmark that my brand new top with tag! Selling is not for me. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! My stuff is just regular everyday clothes & shoes it seems. Thats how I scored a lot of my designer items. You did the right thing Lesli by filing an official complaint with the BBB. Either shes a scammer who wants to get away with it or simply just a buyer experiencing remorse. Im in no hurry to sell it, especially not for a big loss. Yet, Ive heard nothing. If you are in the Houston area I can offer you some he!p in finding inventory, getting aid from various charitable organizations in your area and even mentorship if this is truly the career path you want to go down. I havent sold anything. I would like to put my two cents in this!! I have had an account for over 15 years with 220 transactions but I never though I would leave Poshmark for ebay. Really???? And hand wrote a thank you and placed it carefully on top. I can hardly believe there are people who can sleep at night when they list these things for $48! Out of nearly 2000 sales, 99.99% were 5 stars, they deposit $ very quickly & great social environment. Of all the online apps Ive ever used, Poshmark customer service is by far the worst. Hi there, 16. Also, coincidentally, I had a buyer of an authentic Frey Wille bracelet open a case against me. When Posh closed the case and has the buyer return it. Its ridiculous. Beware of Ebay! Then the ppl who complain about something get their money back and I get my money back but they keep my item so they get it for free Bc customer support is RIDICULOUS! That is completely fraudulent and insulting. eBay is certainly not without its headaches. After November 16, 2016. Not a lot, but I cant imagine that I am the only one that this has happened to. It doesnt take much to get SU status at all. The only thing is that people are looking for extremely inexpensive items. I ship the same day and love that all I have to do is print out a label and take it to my mailbox. The other night, during the 7:00 PM PST Party, I was able to generate 5386 shares in just two hours (during the party). The first came about when a buyer kept lowballing me on a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. The first call took an hour and a half. I bought it the next day, which happened to be Christmas Eve. I wont be on here much longer. But I wont. I was not expecting to make a lot of money, just enough to get by as i am unemployed and my mom has had to help me get by. Thats ridiculous! WOW- I too just had a similar experience (your #1 Reason) with Poshmark I was contacted by Poshmark the buyer received the leather shoes and was reporting that the sole of the shoes were cracked and that the shoes were sticky. A punitive feedback system totally biased towards the buyer. Yet another reason why I quit. More so than Poshmark. This recent one was because of undisclosed odor. Lies! I then tried to find some way, specifically SOME ONE who could assist me as to who to notify that will take immediate action. ?Can they keep my money. That was my ridiculous newbie mistake. If someone will not post extra pics or answer whether an item is authentic, then you know its fake. I looked on line and its illegal for a minor to do this and them not do nothing. I have a lot of luck with both Tradesy and eBay actually. I was looking to buy one, and I really wouldnt mind if its damaged inside. I thought her response to me was forthcoming and genuine, but I was still disappointed.. She wants Not sure where that came from? Select Report User. She went on multiple listings and wrote terrible things. as far as the lowballers I blocked them too and I found when people low-balled me on an item that was brand new I would simply raise the price even higher just to piss them off! I had regular repeat customers that were amazing, which is the only real drawback to quitting PoshmarkI loved these folks! Of course, there are several other top Poshmark sellers who are crushing it. My problem is, I dont feel like I would have sales on a stand alone website. Good luck!! Not familiar with Shopify. So if you are listing for men or children, you must specify in your description or else you can end up eating a $25 shipping cost on a return GUCCI shoes worth $500. Also there are usually local facebook groups too sell on. It is only $65.00 and I am glad it was not one of my very expensive items hat I have not listed. I have to say that I have been on the site for only 6 months and have experienced all that you spoke about! Glad you branched out to shopify. Run your closet how you want OP 19 Reply YouKnowHowChoicesBe 5 yr. ago If I had received something that I didnt like and that hasnt been the case Ive loved everything then I would give it to somebody else or do something else with it but you dont ask for someone to take it back when its a final sale and you cant say its not as represented but its misrepresented because theres really no representation of the item at the site its simply a photograph with a very brief description. The site is similar to eBay and Mercari, but it only allows listings for clothes, accessories, and makeup. aint nobody got time for that as sweet brown would say. If it didnt fit, I would just sell it on Poshmark. The problem I have is I have not found a platform I like as much as PM, except for the time suck sharing issue. You are preaching to the choir as I agree with EVERYTHING you said. People might not think this is a big deal but when you sell a $2000.00 item NWT, its a big deal. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. As sellers we put allot of effort into the app. I hate they have a buyers protection in place and not a sellers protection. The very day the buyer got them, she opened a case that they were worn. You can determine a set amount you want to spend each day with AdWords, so the budget is up to you. On the web version, go to the closet you want to block. Looks like Im screwed on that one too. I have contacted Poshmark but I dont have high hopes of them actually having seller protection. If you dont mind me asking, how did you get your traffic back to your site? 5386. At the top of the page, select the Action Menu (.). So I asked if I could please see photos of the actual jacket. I just started selling on Poshmark and sold one item thus far. Thanks for all the info! I must send them $20 shipping fee thru paypal in order to get my bag back, otherwise they would keep and destroy it. Its all worth it actually bring my online boutique to life money because of minor skuff.. Good Poshmark buyers to buy from my own website outside of Poshmark louise, I also never anything!
