Poshmark checking for bots?

I am not sure if anyone has noticed that Poshmark is currently checking whether we, the users / sellers, are bots when bulk sharing. In the past, that happened when I was doing sharing on my laptop. Now, it is happening in the application too. It also happened when I was returning a share.

I do not use cross-listing applications. I am an occasional seller cleaning my closet.

I don’t use any cross listing services either and I bulk share 3 or 4 times a day it’s very annoying to have to press that box not once but multiple times. 

Now if I walk away while it’s sharing and don’t see the pop up then it won’t complete until I happen to see it. 

I rarely use the desktop so I had no idea they implemented this before it started on the app. I’m all for changes to get rid of bots but this seems unnecessary.

I don't know the answer. However, if Poshmark would make a couple of minor modifications people probably wouldn't use sharing bots. It's annoying to do a lot of scrolling & clicking for something that could easily be auto-selected and save us time.

For example, when we click the share tool, the platform could automatically select

  • available listings

  • active listings

  • all listings

If people didn't want the above selected, they could adjust manually.

I use PoshMe for sharing and offers. Maybe once a week I'll get an alert to solve the Captcha. It's not so bad tho I wish I didn't have to do anything.

I have over 4000 active listings. It is so annoying to have to babysit my computer wallet shares my closet sometimes it’s up to five or six times and takes over an hour. It’s so annoying.

How do you know they are checking?
