blocking lowballers on poshmark

I may have to explore some other options. The set decorator from Mad Men was one of my favorite buyers. I have tried to be super helpful and answer her questions and I just dont think she wants to hear it. A buyer can go anywhere they choose to buy , but not so much for the seller , so sellers are a dime a dozen , but not so much a buyer .And they know a disgruntled buyer will probably never return , but if a seller has made some pretty good money they will blow off some steam , but will continue to stay . Youve inspired me to get off my bum and actually bring my online boutique to life. Im trying to get my money back and Ive warned Poshmark about the seller, but theyve not commented. I cant deal with lowballs. The low balling when stated as firm- yep. The sale frequently gets canceled. An app where you can load a pic and it will tell you if it can be located anywhere else on the internet. You arent obligated to share on posh same as you arent obligated to promote your personal site! Then she goes as far as posting a picture of my profile and some police report she claims to have filed. I just bought it. Exceptions would be: if you purchased a collectible garment or accessory that a celebrity has worn or purchased a vintage piece of designer couture garment that is a One of A Kind piece or limited edition piece. I was devestated!!! Try calling Poshmark like I did (650) 262-4771. This morning i get an email from them telling me my bag is not authentic and my account has been suspended. You cannot say anything in response to this, as its against Poshmark Ettiquette Rules!! I live in the real world. Do a search on a LV or Gucci bag and you will find thousands of counterfeits, both illegal and against Poshmark documented policy. You send the longer you will be waiting. I was so excited to try them on. that I shop at sample/warehouse sales. I invested more than I got in return. I am pretty new to Poshmark, and have enjoyed shopping, and buying a few items. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. So I went to eBay Mercari etc. Im both an active buyer and active seller on Posh. Really???? The seller then cancelled the transaction. She has accused me of blocking her purchases, of sending other poshers to harass her. I, fortunately, only bought one on the Last One Reduced Price Listing by a Boutique Posher. Because that is another person who you have no control over. Especially in light of some inexplicable number. So tip for having your own closet business: work fast and avoid scrolling for items to purchase for yourself! You mentioned your price is market value, and so if you aren't considering any offers that's fine, but Posh is a very offer-based platform so you do need to expect to swat away a lot of offers. POSHMARK. I have worn the suit once and they were absolutely no damages. If someone will not post extra pics or answer whether an item is authentic, then you know its fake. I block about 20 to 30 sellers a day with ease and never look back. She wont stop telling me that $45 is all she has. The seller has just as much to lose as the buyer. Reason #1. Im am OCD when it comes to selling on PoshMark. I just feel like its a huge time suck and people do t want to pay much for anything these days. I see many comments that say, Oh, I do this for fun, I know I will never make any real money at this. When I first started selling on Poshmark (over a year ago) I usually got reasonable offers and even made a little profit on my items. It takes more time than it is worth and Im seeing the writing on the wall before going any further. I found it incredibly frustrating to put so much effort into photographing items that buyers wanted to lowball. The first came about when a buyer kept lowballing me on a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. I have sent several emails with no response. As suggested above, I will videotape placing the items in the box. I am OCD, hyper observant and work i fashion. I dont know if its worth trying to sell on there, at least not coming in as a newbie thinking one will make realistic amounts of money. Geez! I feel so sorry to read what happened to you. Poshmark is such a joke of a business. I hear time and time again from other poshers that there isnt no seller protection. As long as I am getting SOME money back from what I paid for it, I am satisfied, rather than donating my item for other eCommerce sellers to make money off of it! Did you do a direct mail campaign to notify them? She is claiming I sent a top with iron burn marks! Like the old saying dont do what you dont want done to you. I tried to reach out to them, but it didnt matter! And since I have more time behind me than in front of me, I cannot rationalize wasting that time on poshmark. Im not sure if I will buy through Poshmark again. This way, the responsibility to ship it to their warehouse is on them. Poshmark is a business platform. She also has no profile info or a closet. When I came to the realization they were at best as bad as ebay, that is when I deleted my account. Thats the risk of shopping online !! They gave the buyer back the money. I still have a bit of faith left in eBay thoughand more so in recent years actually. Sales final and as is with description. She wants , and that the RARE collectors items I have listed high are being sold by many others at the same price point so of course Im going to try to make the money where I can PLUS I spent sourcing & research effort m time , money , tax and shipping cost to get that items and of course Im going to try to profit if i can esp when I am losing money on so much other stuff to balance things out but my biggest under was why does she care what Im doing? Especially when the buyer purposely ruins an item and Posh rules in their favor. I agree it is pretty ridiculous! Want to sell on PoshMark? So, I dont pay to market or spend a bunch of time SMM marketing, but use my posh sales to lead people to my site by putting thank you cards and candy in my customers packages. 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. Manually sharing, to adhere to a policy thats not enforced, while others are farming it out = wake up time! Unlike me, but Im over it. All of my ratings (I have close to 300) have been 5 star except for 2. Emily, thank you so much for your comment. She then stated this on my page for the bag. I do not hate myself enough to list there. I posted a beautiful peridot necklace for way cheaper than it was worth. I like people to be sure an she said it will fit just mail it to me ! 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. I sold a brand new Pinup Girl dress there was not a thing wrong with it. Even before I read these comments I had pretty much decided not to go any further with PM. Hi , I have the same proble likie I have a open case with A free people dress ,and the buyer make a open case because is not authentic . Shop gandalfgan's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Yet thousands do it every week on that app. So disappointed being I have strived to ship within a day only perfect items and have disclosed the tiniest flaws. In my fifth purchase attempt, the item was promptly shipped and received. The bag is 100% authentic and I have a receipt. They just changed shipping now to 6.89 and never contacted me about that! And of course the seller is trying to make there money back off an item they may have paid 200 dollars new and selling used for 80 or 90 dollars, for long time thrift store/second hand/goodwill retail store / yard sell and so on buyers, we know that 80 to 90 dollars is not a true deal on a used item. I had 298K followers and never a problem before! Im new to Posh and I realize this article is older. Very frustrating, Jeanette, I hope you see my comment. That means Im going to earn like $5. Still no response from poshmark. People called you a whore because you declined an offer?! The answering questions. Well, they told me I couldnt contact the Seller directly (to even say anything) so Im just stuck with a pair of defective shoes and out $50!! Quite a deal, but not shocking, given some of the buys Ive picked up on various platforms. Nothing I have sent not even a coach bag and heels were over 5 lbs yet the buyer has the $6.79 added to their fee so it creates a frenzy on lowballing you to death. I know I probably should have just canceled the order but I figure everyone starts somewhere. When they do send a question, I respond quickly and thoroughly, and I dont feel as if Ive wasted my time if they dont end up buying. As a buyer, Ive been blocked for asking respectful questions about a product I am neither able to preview nor return. You can access it here: https://shopstylaphile.com/products/ebook-how-to-ditch-poshmark-and-start-your-own-e-commerce-business. The second you drive a new car off the lot, it depreciates like hell. I dont know too many things that are just off about POSH! Usually I would just accept the return and avoid an unhappy buyer. I would make most of my sales during the bewitching hour 5:00 a.m. If I shared my items at 4:30 a.m., it was too early in the morning. I wish I would have known that sooner. No bundle may exceed 5 lb., she didnt want to pay the additional shipping. In this way, some people feel as though theyve won. There is a psychological aspect to the lowball offerregardless of platform, Poshmark or any other. I decided to move to Instagram as Shopify is excellent but you need to know some HTML. One girl told me People love to negotiate; they love to try and get a deal on top of what is already a deal. Depression doesnt even cover how I feel. Shes theatening with things like, Ill tell the truth about you What truth? Quite often you can check out as a guest but not here. I am still using the app, but I will not be buying any bags! Any input would be helpful esp. At that point you have to provide a receipt or COA, and wait. One of the embassador Poshers bought my Burberry rain boots for $50 (a great deal), and later on filed a complaint saying that the boots smelled horrible and that they had stains and blah, blah, blah she even said that she wanted to keep them at no cost even though I asked her to return them for her money back. Let me share a buyers story. 5.) I sold a tech item and the buyer claimed it didnt work. Hey there friends I dont exactly want to say that Im glad I came across this blog/platforn, but it has without a doubt helped me to verify my personal issues with these so called trolls, and shed some more light on the recent 2021 downfall of many of Poshmarks users morale. 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? My reaction varies. Instinctively, youre probably pissed off when that lowball Poshmark offer comes in. So ask yourself how much time am I willing to invest in sharing this item, promoting this item, will my time be better served with selling and moving on? Thanks for the venting outlet! My items are not cheaply priced but I think they are fairly and accurately priced. Youve expressed so many of my frustrations as well! Low ball offers on Poshmark are offensive especially if you arent really ready to part with the item. 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. Parties? Poshers reading the full description & observing photos of jewelry and immediately filing a claim stating that the item was not as described ? Unfortunately I have not received a single package sent with as much care as I send mine. Makes the item virtually impossible to sell and the seller is screwed. Its really gotten bad lately with 2 cases opened and 2 lost packages in the last 10 days. Seller Concerned Bad Buyers May Be Infecting Poshm by: iheartjacksparrow But my question is, How did you make the switch? There is NO 100% protection. Bullying, gaming up on me. The best way to deal with Poshmark lowballers is to stand by your pricing if you need to, but be prepared to walk away from offers that are not worth it. I have Traumatic Brain Injury, put so much time and money into Poshing. Im new to PM, too. Of the site, she said they didnt break any rules. Ever wonder why theres no seller protection on PoshMark? I dont have time for social selling. Since then another open case has been filed against one of my listings where it was clearly stated NO STAMP to determine if what I was selling was gold or gold-plated. I consider a lowball offer anything below 50% of the listed price, or perhaps 25% below an already low price (like offering $6 on an $8 item These offers are insulting and disrespectful to a seller who needs to actually make a profit after Poshmark takes their fee. Ok, I get it. Do they care? The same can happen on an online store with chargebacks and PayPal returns! It is only $65.00 and I am glad it was not one of my very expensive items hat I have not listed. now this just leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. Seriously? My suspicion is that she put a cat on the dress to cause snags!!! And theyre based out of country over seas!! Blocking a buyer is a waste of 30-60 seconds of our time. 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. This recent one was because of undisclosed odor. She said, no gurl.just send it as it is. I am so sorry to hear what happened to Alexandria Perri. That can be you! Plus there is incredible lack of insight and common sense among sellers & buyers. I dont mess around. All this means is that you are NOT ready to part with it and you are too emotionally attached to your item! All $3, $4, and $5 items must be bundled. Poshmark is a smartphone app. the bundles of bundles we post (baby lots of 22 pieces plus) I state as firm including Bc I have to pay extra shipping they bundle 3 of those huge lots and ask less than half listed bundles price. How can so many people have tons of Zara in their closet that they are selling so inexpensively? Im kind of getting tired of PM myself, and Im fairly new in there! Either way, its disgraceful that Poshmark clearly doesnt take into account the integrity of its sellers (all my items are brand-new with tags, NWOT or in pristine condition from my own personal closet) or their track record. Also how to people get their hands on all these designer bags to consign? Best I can tell, the rings were bought from a Chinese site for $1 $3 each and sold for around $200. Do not give them a try. Last week I sold a pair of rock revival rare jeans to a buyer who had 4 previous purchases. Instead of focusing on my purpose for reselling, I let myself hide behind low ball offers. Now I think they are one of the WORST online selling sites. eBay is certainly not without its headaches. They keep threatening to suspend me if I dare comment on those counterfeit listings or if I dare warn the unsuspecting posh user that the item is fake. I either interacted with folks that have drank the Poshmark kool aid and are delusional and in denial or folks that do recognize the deeply flawed issues about the company, but dont care enough to put any energy towards calling them out. Good luck! Counter and see what happens. I have seen people record packaging and shipping an item (which is sad that something that extreme is needed for seller protection) Youre right people are crazy! I am accustom to going over ALL my samples with a fine tooth comb. I made sure everything was as described before I sent the order and then I got the issue. And no time suck as its not a social app. As you used to do, she took the lowball offer personally. I just feel that sellers should be mindful about the real worth of an used item. Poshmark paid me for the purse even though I had it and said they would take appropriate action with regard to the buyer. So may just focus on that. They are all about profit and protecting the scammers within their site. RELATED POST:My Closet Netted Me Over $1K This Year. Can you please tell me more about it. I am glad I found it now before I am neck deep in the s..t. I have a bigcommerce store and find that I replace sharing on posh with marketing my site. As much as Poshmark is a marketplace for buying and selling clothes, it's also a community. And I run into it often on Posh! I am a seller on Poshmark and I provide many details for the items I sell. No comments. Is other sellers there is so many desperate sellers that will mess with you and try to piggy back off your listings it is unbelievable. What really upset me was that I had one buyer that did not like the lycra content in the jeans I sold her. Selling used clothing for big money is a joke. Getting defensive that just makes one suspicious! I know you can sell on Pinterest as well:) Or even just share your listings so people can find the link. Ive been emailing them because I feel like my buyers arent receiving notifications to accept their item so I always have to wait until the fourth day for my money to finally be released to me. But she blocked me so fast, I couldnt make the other offer. Ive taken part in hearting picking likes that style. Out of the blue they sent me another label. Your story is nearly identical to mine just about 4 years later! Havent heard of it (must be my age)! And I dont go on those posh fb groups or waste a second of my time bsing w women who arent really your friend.. something I learned.. these are acquaintances.. co workers etc not friends. However, if similar items are priced where yours is, then there is no need to. Low ball offers come in for all kinds of reasons. I never went so far as to create a shouty angry chart that some other sellers post. Wont make another purchase on there. Click decline and move on! I am pregnant now and really emotional, I even cried like a child over this. As for advice, you can open your own store like I did on Shopify, or if you dont have HTML knowledge, you could try BigCommerce here: http://bit.ly/2pFg5Mt. I do not own anything counterfeit and am appalled that they falsely accused me of such an absurd accusation! I have a question. It shows them that you are a serious seller, with costs for your items. Hi! Now, though, I keep two things in mind: my hourly rate for ghostwriting and other side gigs is much higher than spending an hour going back and forth over $5, $10, or $15. Be any businesses I have the right to charge whavi want however I didnt I charge a fair priced its not my fault they seen it online cheaper. They get 30 days to review. What I found was constant ranting about cases being opened, lowballs. No one should have to spend the equivalent of a 40 hour work week of time to sell a $15 tee shirt from the Gap. This is NOT an ad for eBay but bottom line is the sell through rate is at least 100 times greater there. I asked her how, and of course never got a reply. If you cant be bothered to actually read the item description and respect the sellers policies, then you really shouldnt be on Poshmark. I've blocked four people ever: 1-2. I never heard of Tradesy before this blog and their shipping is $10.50 for just the label alone. I have also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the BBB, I was also instructed to file with my state Attorney General. Even if, sorry to say, they called you a whore. I try to keep off the grid as much as possible. Show Me Your Mumu 16. . She literally said I cant believe you would sell a bag like that for that price. NOTE never asked a question, never made an offer, never asked for more photos or where stains were (as we all know only 4 photos). Which is sure to effect sales. Wow the same thing just happened to me with a $8 dollar dress, the buyer was aware of the damage and asked zillions of questions then purchased the dress which is a expensive item sold for $8 when she received it she instantly open a claim for $8 freaking dollars!! My listings are clear and my integrity is high. Im afraid adding one more domain to the Internet is throwing a penny into the void hard to find unless youre really looking for it! I understand wholeheartedly what Bethany is saying. Just like any beginner, you also might be looking for the answer to this question, right? I read with great interest your reasons for leaving Poshmark. Im done worrying about sunk costs. With all the book expenses and tuition i tried making extra money on the side. Poshmark ended up accepting their side of the story and allowed the return. I am so frustrated by PM! Most likely they are getting discounted ship pricing and earning on ship price also. It looked nothing like the photos in terms of fabric or even color. The offers that use to excite me now I do not even want to look at anymore. Selling On websites has outlived its purpose in my life. Its for teenage girls looking to get $2 gap shirts New With Tags. I started buying on Poshmark two weeks ago, so Im definitely a newbie and just learning the ropes. Thats ridiculous! And I agree with you on a free gift with every purchase. I started an Instagram page for the brand (@ShopStylaphile) and also use the blog and other social media channels to drive traffic. Its inane!!! I have filed a case against the return but days have passed and Ive only received bs automated responses. Sigh. My perspective on Poshmark has changedalong with the app. Currently using Poshmark, but it needs so much improvement and yes, I put so much effort into packaging my items making sure each is clean and free of pilling, etc., wrapping in pretty paper, sending thank you notes, including little cosmetic samples and chocolates, etc, etc. But I had sent about 5 items just previously to sending that dress and one after the other gave me 5 stars and glowing remarks!!! Posh sided with the buyer and she was authorized to return my rocks. These are the people you rush to the post office for so you can get their item delivered ASAP, but thenonce they get it, they dont even bother tomark it as received. Turns out this buyer is someone who resells the same type of item I sold herand Im wondering if she felt she couldnt get as much of markup as she wanted so she decided to claim it was used.
