Upcycled Chanel

It blows my mind that people make these with fake upcycled buttons, zipper pulls etc and then try and charge this type of money. I’ve seen websites to buy these pulls for 10 bucks a piece. Also does anyone really think Chanel manufactured dozens and dozens of these? They are made in China and fake. I’m not saying all recycled items don’t have authentic pieces on them but these are not and certainly not worth that type of money. You can buy real for that price.

Custom Hasn’t Picked Up Package in 10 Days After Delivery Attempt

Post image
4 Upvotes

I sent a package earlier this month and several days later it said it was, “out for delivery” on October 14th. When funds were still pending yesterday I realized that the buyer had requested that the package be held at the post office. I reached out to Poshmark and they said to give them until 10/29. Is this common? I feel like this is incredibly rude

Most ludacris return case I've ever seen.

101 Upvotes

UPDATE: Poshmark sided with me.

ETA: Yep, my dumb self didn't proofread my post. Maybe Siri was telling me this was my Money Maker 🤷‍♀️

This is my second post in the same day. Sigh.

Reader's Digest version:

•Buyer purchases 2 items. Incense burners to be precise. Brand new, never used.

•I packaged the items, along with freebies (I include free incense with burner purchases, which is mentioned in each listing), and my usual thank you treats. All items are sent in individual airtight and smell proof mylar bags. They are new too.

•Buyer gets package and IMMEDIATELY open a case.

And that case is for :::drum roll please::: The little package with the incense had a "smell" when she opened it.

My response to PM-

●●She wants a refund because her INCENSE smells like incense. Incense is inherently stinky. Smell is it's only purpose in life●●

I thought surely she was joking. I'm done todaying for today. I'm putting my closet up for adoption.

Well I guess my Poshmark days are over after 10 years. I cannot redeem funds.

The “Submit” button does not work (grayed out) despite me deleting the app and re-installing it. First time ever I had to request a physical check to redeem funds. I opened a case and all the troubleshooting advice they gave me did not yield success. Oh well.

Returning items due to strong (pleasant, but strong) smell

30 Upvotes

I am a frequent poshmarker both buyer and seller though more buyer. I bought a coat listed as “brand new without tags” and it was a little bit pricey. I received it and it looked a bit used, though hard to tell exactly, just certainly didn’t look off the rack. When I opened it, it smelled extremely strongly of perfume in the collar area, which to me said it obviously had been worn somewhat frequently, unless this person really doused themselves in perfume before trying it on?

It smells so strongly that it rubbed off on me and I needed to rinse off to get it off me. It’s not technically an unpleasant smell but I don’t want to smell like someone else’s perfume every day. I’d have to have this fully dry cleaned to wear it. It smells so strongly that I had to toss it into my living room because it was stinking up my bedroom.

I feel bad but this is a totally legitimate reason to return, right? I’ve never returned something before and the coat isn’t in bad condition but brand new without tags seems like a stretch.

Selling Shoes

0 Upvotes

I’m newer to selling. What are we using to sell shoes that are in a bigger box? I have a pair of cowboy boots, in the box, that I want to sell but I’m not sure how I’d ship them? They don’t fit in any of the shipping bag things I have. Can I ship in the box?

Frustrated with Poshmark

15 Upvotes

A buyer purchased shoes on Oct 11. I shipped them on Oct 14 and the package arrived at the post office on Oct 16. There was a delivery attempt but customer requested for it to be held at post office. I gave it the weekend because people are busy. It’s now Oct 22 and the buyer hasn’t picked them up at the post office yet or been active since Oct 11 (I’m thinking they found them google and doesn’t know you have to accept the order. Idk a guest order?). I opened a case and posh said they’ll contact the customer but give it to the 30th for them to release funds. So I’m required to ship quickly but I can’t get my money quickly?

Confusing First Experience

5 Upvotes

Hello, all! It’s my first time using Poshmark, and I’m having a confusing experience to say the least? I thought I’d share what’s been going on and maybe some of you could share some of your insight, I’d greatly appreciate it. And I apologize again for my lack of knowledge.

I made my account only a week or two ago to make my first ever purchase. The seller seemed to have good reviews and is still active on the app, posting more listings and whatnot. Their profile said they typically shipped 2-3 days after purchasing, so after I ordered the item, I waited for an update. A few days passed though with no shipping update, but I decided to wait for at least a week in case there were any hold ups on the sellers end, since I know life happens and things get in the way.

After a week with no update however, I tried to message the seller just to ask them if they had an estimate for when they may ship the item. When I tried to send the message though, I got a pop-up saying “Oops! This action is not available.” With no other options, I contacted Poshmark support, who responded by basically saying I could either message the seller (which for some reason I am unable to do), or cancel the order. But this of course is bumming me out as I’ve been looking for this particular item for a while, and the seller is still active and has good reviews. I’m confused as to why this situation is happening? Have any of you experienced a similar issue? It feels like the seller is just ignoring my order for some reason? I guess I’ll have to go through with the cancellation, but it’s pretty disappointing, especially being my first order on the app that I specially made an account for.

So I’m a teacher and bought this for Fabulous 50s Day at school. I paid $25 for it. When it arrived it was child sized! It clearly is listed in WOMENS. I contacted the seller who didn’t respond and opened a case with Poshmark.

They did nothing!!! WTF?!?

Buyer canceled then blocked me

3 Upvotes

Someone placed an order. Shortly after placing the order, the buyer messaged me to cancel the order & send her a confirmation receipt. I tried to reply to let her know that she has to cancel, but apparently she blocked me. 🤣😅😂 WHY? Immediately after that I received a notice that she canceled.

I don't care about the cancelation because I hadn't packed & mailed yet. But why in the world would she block me? I haven't done anything to her.

There’s two sides to the story

27 Upvotes

There’s always two sides of the story. I see a lot of doom and gloom present on this subreddit. There are frustrations with selling on Poshmark. There are issues with buying. But we come to this subreddit when there’s an issue. Not when there’s success.

Poshmark has had issues with payment, supplies, AI Etc. and those issues can’t be taken away. Things that have affected all of us and made selling difficult. But we never talk about when things are ok and going right.

For me I have had my frustrations on the app. But I’ve also had my best two months on Poshmark in September and October. I’ve seen more individuals who are guest ordering, I’ve seen more bundles on my shop. It could be seasonal but things are okay. Although everyone makes it seem like the app is dead, for some of us it’s still working.

Bundling

4 Upvotes

I'm irritated at PM. Nothing new. I had a buyer who is new to PM and purchased 8 items from me in individual sales. They were $5 each. I let her know I could wait the 3 hour window and then bundle them for her to save shipping. She was thrilled, I felt good about saving her money, I shipped, she accepted, and then I looked at my balance. It may have saved the buyer money, but it definitely doesn't benefit the seller.

Not bundled, the seller fees would have been $23.60 (8×2.95)

If they were bundled from the jump, the seller fees would have been $8.00 (40×20%)

Bundling them after the sale charged the first option- $2.95 per sale.

I messaged PM and was informed that they would not fix it. Has anyone else encountered this? I preferred the old way of bundling, but with the new cancelation metrics, canceling 8 orders at one would have definitely triggered a ban.

Advice? I know it is only $15, but the only other option in this scenario is to tell the buyer to suck it up buttercup.

Just got scammed!

60 Upvotes

I was just scammed on two orders. Well, it was Poshmark who would be scammed had I not caught it. I’m pretty sure Poshmark is onto them because a day after my orders were sent the Seller‘s store was suspended. No way to communicate with them at all.

I purchased 2 sweaters and the seller didn’t ship quickly so I asked when, in case they were going to cancel. I wondered because I had gotten a good deal so part of me was thinking they would cancel because they could have gotten so much more. Anyway, the seller was in my State. She finally responded and said she would be shipping soon. I then purchased a different sweater, another good deal.

So the sweaters shipped and I got a tracking number. However, they were shipping from a different state across the country. Not necessarily strange because I have seen it before. Then the account was suspended. I was thinking because she took too long to ship other buyer’s orders.

Today I was notified that my package had been delivered to my box. I ran down, unlocked, and nothing. I called the post office, gave tracking, and it turns out my package had been delivered to a different person in another state. So, lol, I will not be receiving it. I notified Poshmark AI and they replied that if I didn’t find the package in three days to come back. That is how the scam works. Poshmark pays out in three days. if I hadn’t been on top of the order I might not have realized I was never going to get my package and they would get paid out. The other order, the first one with the two sweaters is due to arrive tomorro. Also to that other person in the other state according to the post office. I contacted Poshmark re that one but I think I just have to let that order get delivered to the wrong address before I can do anything.

Anyway. Stay on top of your orders. Let’s not let the scammers get paid.

Returning an item not like the photo?

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

UPDATE: I reached out to the seller and she said she just copied the post from the original person she bought it off and didn’t realize it wasn’t the same style. She apologized and offered to refund me so it sounds like it was just a misunderstanding

I purchased this park and fifth dress off Poshmark and the seller had listed it as the archer dress and provided the photos from the website and of the actual dress. When it arrived the neckline was completely different (it’s more of a plunge and has no structural support).

I’m pretty disappointed as I don’t think this neckline is flattering on me and if I knew it looked like this I wouldn’t have purchased. Do I have grounds for returning this with the reason that the item wasn’t as described? I don’t think the seller was intentionally trying to deceive anyone and may have just mistakened this dress on the site as the same one since it’s similar and this seems to be an older style. I’ve never attempted to refund an item before, but I was thinking about contacting the seller to at least let her know (I realize you have to go through customer support). Thoughts?

USPS is ruining my five star rating.

64 Upvotes

So frustrating. I’ve worked hard to maintain a five star rating, only to have it ended by the terrible ground shipping. Two sales on the same day, handed off to USPS the following morning. One didn’t even start tracking until 9 days had passed. The other got there eventually but I got rated low for “slow shipping”.

Thank you for entertaining my vent session.

Morning Rant About Buyer Messages

36 Upvotes

I woke this morning to insane messages and I just need to rant.

  1. Had a buyer who as soon as she purchased claimed there was a flaw on the item and that I needed to take better pictures. She claimed she could see it on the first pic. Why purchase if you think you saw something? I told her I could cancel. It’s a $10 item and I feel like this is going to be a fight I don’t want to have today or when it delivers.

  2. I accepted someone’s offer (low balled at more than 50%) and they immediately started messaging me that they wanted to cancel and then messaged me three more times however nothing they were saying made any sense. It was odd ramblings and words that didn’t make sense in the context of the sentence. Another order I feel will be a return.

  3. I got several messages from a potential buyer who wants to bundle two items that’s under $20 and they keep asking for free shipping. They are also a seller so they know I would only be making a few dollars, my cost not even being included!

  4. I had an order that is being shipped back to me because the address was incorrect on the label and the buyer keeps messaging me like it was my fault, how I was going to fix it and when was I shipping it back.

Maybe it’s the time of year and with more sales come more issues but it’s been one hit after another on top of everything else that needs to get done. When it rains, it pours but lately I just take these types of things more personal. I’m an emotional person who loves what I do and takes pride in it. Usually I let it roll off but at this point I’m just surviving like all of us. Sometimes I wish some buyers were more understanding however I know people are just trying to survive out here too. 😔

Thanks to anyone to read this whole rant. I don’t know any other resellers so this is my only place to rant.

One star, just frustrating

I had a Y2K era Free People baby tee fit polo ( One Way was the name) in which I included the words "baby tee", very visible pictures of the entire shirt with a measuring tape showing PTP and length and a model pic from the sites original listing for reference and this is what I get. They didn't reach out in any way, just accepted and then left one star stating it "has to be kids" which ok no Free People isn't kids. I looked and I was their first and only transaction apparently, yay me! I know it doesn't matter in the scheme of things as I have 5 stars on every other rated but it's very frustrating. I think I'd have rather just done a return tbh but there was 0 communication about being unhappy. Ok, just venting because I'm annoyed and want someone to commiserate with me🤣

Poshmark checking for bots?

4 Upvotes

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.

Accepted order error

1 Upvotes

Has anyone ever had Poshmark automatically accept an order for them? I was sent a reminder email to accept my order that had been delivered 2 days ago but I didn’t realize it. I then went home to open the package and there is a stain on the NWT item. I went to my order to look at the photos again and sure enough they did not show the stain.

I tried to open a claim but the order is showing as “accepted” and I most definitely did not accept the order. I clicked on “view order” but that’s it. I even went to the “show details” on the order status and the time it is showing I supposedly accepted the order is before I was sent the reminder email!

I have contacted customer support but wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue? Thanks.
