I purchased a Brighton watch. I received a watch that did not work. I immediately contacted Poshmark and asked them not to release funds. I was told to regift, sell or give it away. What a ridiculous thing to suggest!
I ordered a suit from a seller on Poshmark. Once I received the suit I realized that the seller had misrepresented the size - *******@jonesbran5988. I immediately contacted Poshmark to ask for instructions on returning the suit. They waited until after their own deadline to respond and now are saying that they cannot do anything because I should have filed a claim earlier. I don't recommend this company.
I purchased a "Louis Vuitton" bag from Ryan Wilson on Poshmark's website. Poshmark "authenticated" it. The bag is not as described, probably not authentic. Damaged strap. Tarnished hardware. Inside pocket is disintegrating. Very disappointed.
I bought a bicycle jersey supposedly XL size and the true size was a M. I wrote to their Customer Service and they refused to make it right. They have no customer service skills and don't care about repeat business by selling an item that clearly didn't meet customer expectations or needs. They seem completely out of touch. Don't buy or sell anything through Poshmark. They are the worst.
Never got my merchandise from this seller kimberlylibb767. I ordered and paid for a purse that I have been looking for forever. I placed the order on 11/7/19 and as of 11/21 I still have not gotten it.
Poshmark actually refunded my money since they could not get seller to respond to them as well.
I thought once my sale was refunded she would list this purse again; it still is showing as sold. I really want the purse and I am not sure why kimberlylibb767 cannot at least answer questions respond back.
Terrible customer service! I shipped out a necklace by Lana that retails for $730 to a buyer. The buyer said she received it broken when I'm most certain she broke it because I would never send out a damageditem! Now I am left with a damaged good that I can't even resell! I am a top rated seller and have sold over $3k worth of merchandise this summer and while looking at my buyers past comments she clearly has returned other things. I wouldn't even mind sending back the necklace but all they offered me for the inconvenience is $20 in credits! How can I ever feel safe shipping out more of my luxury goods when if the buyer damages it on their end, I get left with nothing! I've worked in luxury retail for almost 10 years and this is just terrible. Do NOT sell on Poshmark!
They only trust the buyers review when you are a top rated seller! Does not make ANY sense!
Bought an item from the website that was totally deceiving as to the size and look of the item. When the item came I quickly reached out to poshmark to discuss my issues. There was no communication with the website they never responded Mx when purchasing designer authentic items the website got to have the buyers back. Keep away.
As a seller it is very easy to get ripped off from a buyer using Poshmark! I a buyer makes a complaint and sends blurred images stating that they didn't get an item as claimed you can then get stuck without your item and without a payment. They didn't even give the complaining buyer my return address to send my item back! I'm pissed at their lack of proper customer care on both ends!
Ridiculously difficult to purchase item, won't acknowledge my PW, 2 hrs of attempting purchase, they accepted CC payment, but now no record of item being sold. 2nd attempt@ purchase, sale was Cx w/no reason. EBAY SO MUCH EASIER! Done w/ Pmark!
Worst customer service ever. Purchased a pair of shoes that were fraudulently listed and unwearable once I received them. Made a complaint w/photos via the Poshmark app and their joke of a customer service department. Poshmark gave me a measly $5 credit to make up for my $50 purchase with no explanation and PayPal even denied my claim. Will never ever shop with this disgusting site again. Buyers beware, there is NO protection for your purchases and sellers do as they please with no recourse.
Several incidents of shipping errors and attempts to reach someone unfruitful. Emails ate responded to with a generic poshmark email stating they appreciate you reaching out and someone will contact you within 24 hours but never do. EBay is much safer place to buy and sell. I've never had them not follow up or stand by purchases. Poshmark run by lazy people cashing in on commissions and doing nothing... just a middle man middle man middle man
Purchased a "nwt" gucci handbag that did not come with tags and obviously not authentic. Everyone who has experienced this same issue please file a complaint with the better business bureau.
I purchased a White Calvin Klein dress this week and immediately after the purchase asked Poshmark's customer service via email to cancel the order. The reply was; they had no way of cancelling on their end I should tag the seller asking to cancel. Well I *******@leista the seller, she explained Poshmark didn't inform her of me asking to cancel and the dress was shipped. She agreed for me to return the item in order to receive a refund and I said I didn't know how to do that. She was very helpful, she initiated the return yesterday. I haven't heard from Poshmark since.
Buyers on Poshmark scam sellers like myself! A buyer named Noelle in California stole my Chanel earrings claiming she wanted to return them because a post was bent and the props used in my picture didn't get sent to her! Ridiculous! She mailed back everything I had packed the earrings in EXCEPT the earrings! And Poshmark has not been helpful whatsoever!
Just bought my first item. Within an hour of receiving filed for a return. The item had undisclosed stains not mentioned in the description. Been 4 days and still no refund. Giving me the run around. Any other place you have sufficient time and rights as a buyer to return an item. Especially an online clothing purchase. This site tries very hard to make you re-sell the item so they can make another 20% commission on the sale. Which is why they do not want to refund you and make you re-sell the item. Horrible. Stick to RealReal, eBay anything but this site.
People here with their bad reviews make me believe everyone is a friggin idiot anymore. This ist a company store this is a community like ebay. All posh is is a platform. So you have to be responsible for your transactions. Ask wuestions, request specific pics, do your own research to make sure what youre buying is authentic and undamaged. Then if you receive the wrong thing or its damaged you have evidence for a refud. Something not fitting is not a reason for a refund unless they purposely listed it as S and the tag says XL. So ASK QUESTIONS, and authenticate yourself for designer items. Otherwise its your own damn fault. Been selling two years, never hada return after 500 sales, have bought over 200 items and had problems with only ten, all of which i was refunded for. Only reason im giving four stars is because all customer service is through email, not phone.
It's exhausting-Poshmark business module wants you to do all their SEO for them and rake in 20% commission for doing nada/zip... But hey-you can also spend countless hours hosting local parties and sip/posh get togethers. So Poshmark doesn't have to. I make more money elsewhere.
I don't know why so many people had so many bad experiences. I purchased 52 items and only one had to be returned due to dress being 3 inches shorter, but I received a prompt refund. My other 51 purchases I rated five stars. All excellent, as described and arrived quick. If you don't believe me you can look under my posh profile: savvychicdaily - under love notes I have given sellers.
The key is to read descriptions carefully, look at all pics, close ups, tags etc, ask questions. As for measurements.
If you don't have sufficient info or pictures are not clear, just don't buy. Also, I do not buy from sellers who have not updated their posted items in months, and have almost nothing listed for sale. They are probably not active profiles, and your purchases might not ship.
Overall I give the site five star rating and will keep using it.
In October of 2019, I purchased a T shirt that was listed as a Men's Large, but when I received it, it was actually a Kid's large. I contacted Poshmark support about the issue & provided pictures, measurements & charts to compare the sizes between mens & kids. The seller claimed that the shirt was purchased from the men's department & was a men's size which was complete B. S. The Poshmark support team denied my return request because they said my case did not qualify for a return due to the item being listed correctly as a large & the tags on the shirt stated large. It upset me because after I sent them all the info & pictures, they couldn't put the pieces together to see the issue. Now I'm stuck with an item I can't use & choose not to go through the trouble of reselling it. An unfair decision was made & it was all B. S! Their support team & return policy is trash so I got rid of my account & app on my phone! After this I no longer see myself using Poshmark!
I'm a seller at poshmark, TOP SELLER and because they don't care about us seller I'm quitting poshmark, they're unfair and let buyers scam us sellers, They don't care about anyone but the money they're making from the sellers and buyers. Don't ever join poshmark, they're rude and unfair. Don't waste your time on them. Plus the take a lot from us the fee is way to high, Mercari will always be better. Go to them instead.
Answer: You've got to be smart about shopping online these days. There are scammers wherever you go. That said, if you follow the guidelines and steer clear from trading, which most sites don't condone, then you'll be fine. I've purchased over 100+ items on poshmark and have sold over 90+ with complete success, with the exception of the one time I decided to trade... I've purchased low prices items before and received junk a couple times, but Poshmark ALWAYS refunded me! Maybe I'm super savvy, so here's what I always do: 1. Always checkout the seller's reviews. 2. Always ask if there are any flaws with used items. 3. Always ask if sizing is TTS: "true to size" 4. And most importantly, always ask if it's authentic (unless otherwise specified in the description) These 4 questions have always led me to receiving exactly what I wanted and at half the retail price! Plus, it's so much fun! I've made a considerable amount of income from it, while also adding a nice set of items to my own closet! Good luck out there!
Answer: I have received every item I have ever bought on poshmark. It arrived on time and was in the exact condtion as was promised and how it appeared in the pics.
Answer: Well yes she received the boots and probably didnt like them or they didnt fit etc. she is trying to get her money back by trying to re sell them for 70.00 however she would only get 56.00
Answer: It took a long time, but today Poshmark said they refunded the entire purchase amount plus shipping because the booties I ordered were misrepresented. It took About a month and a half. Two times they offered me small credits toward another Poshmark purchase. I filed a very well documented (12 pages of emails, screen shots of the ad and screen shots of dialogue between me and the seller, Kimology) fraud claim with my credit card company, and I emailed Poshmark's customer service to advise them. Two days later they told me they were refunding my money. We'll see if that happens. Poshmark's customer service is terrible, but persistence paid off. Best of luck to you!
Answer: Ask probing questions: non-smoker? Ever been dry cleaned? How worn is it? Cats? Etc
Answer: I have the total opposite reaction to this question. This mystery group that decides what the outcome will be is ridiculous. You can't talk to anyone, and my last attempt to get support through emails, took one month! Not a fan of learning who the good sellers are by trial and error...
Answer: She probably stalked the other seller's listing and found you commented on the item you purchased. So technically, yes they can see what you buy as long as you commented something on the purchased listing.
Answer: Be careful on posh because they do not have your back. There is a lot of scandalous people on posh. Be careful on ebay as well. I bought a Michael Kors set on ebay that was listed as excellent condition but it was stained and reeked of cigarette smoke. Ebay did not refund my money. They said since it wasn't listed as brand new with tags I was screwed. I was out $315. Who wants a handbag and wallet that smells like shit? I think twice before buying on Ebay since that experience. Shame on the dishonest seller and Ebay for allowing that behavior. Good Luck!
Answer: Have you sent an email to Poshmark support? I have before and they did respond
Answer: You unfortunately cannot return an item if it doesn't fit. It's best to ask the seller the measurements of the item, if they tell you the wrong measurements you can return it. If they will not give you the measurements then don't buy from them. I'm new to selling on Poshmark and I will allow people to return their items if they don't fit because I believe that's what's right, you will find other good sellers!
