Terrible for Sellers
April 11, 2018

Stick to eBay to sell your stuff. Buyers on Poshmark consistently submit low-ball offers and the 20% cut that Poshmark takes just doesn't make it worth it. To add insult to injury, buyers will pay $30 for a nearly new $300 top and then open a case that the item isn't in new condition. Ridiculous! I've had it with this silly site and have closed my account.

I placed my first and last order with Poshmark. I was intrigued by the idea of buying new or slightly worn name brand product at a deep discount. I placed an order for 2 Vineyard Vines mens polo shirts. They were offered at 2 for $50 new or slightly worn polos in great condition. What I received was one original Vineyard Vines polo with a stain at the bottom front hem and a knockoff shirt with a stamped on labe of Vineyard Vines made in Pakistan. I immediately contacted Poshmarks customer service and got an email that they were investigating and would get back to me, I wanted to return the items or even offered to keep them for $30, lesson learnedl. I never heard back from them and today noticed I was invoiced the full amount. What happened to their policy of reviewing the customer complaint and forgoing invoices until the problem is resolved? I now have learned a valuable lesson, if it looks to good to be true it isnt. My motive in posting this is to warn anyone like me to avoid this company.

Update
April 5, 2018
Updated review

Poshmark emailed me Monday, here was their response to my firm emails.

"Thank you for submitting your return for review. In these situations, it is difficult for our team to determine the order's original condition. Our team carefully reviews all case and user details to make the best decision we can.

We want to highlight that from our experience, most claims come from honest oversights from either party. However, we understand your concern and want to assure you that the appropriate action will be taken. Rest assured, all return cases are noted to prevent future issues.

We truly value you as a member of our community - as a courtesy, we have added your earnings to your balance for this order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

I'm still upset that this lady got away with lying through her teeth, this will happen again, maybe not to me but to others. Taking a photo of the garment with the shipping label should be evidence enough to protect the seller.

Claims Are Falsely Reviewed.
March 31, 2018
Previous review

I've sold over 100 items, I'm an "Ambasador," and I like to purchase crazy expensive clothes that I couldn't afford at full price. I've read a lot of stories where the buyer is scammed and the seller gets away with it. Well, I'm here complaining about the opposite situation.

Granted, this whole sale left me with $12 so it wasn't a big deal, but the principal of it all will irritate me for years to come. I posted a blouse, depicted all angles of the blouse, blouse sold. Everything on the blouse was obviously ok because there wasn't a hidden inch of fabric.

Buyer receives blouse and claims it was not as described. I read that and I was like ok, it probably doesn't fit and she wants to return it. That doesn't make me mad, as long as the garment is ok.

I open up the pictures and this lady has burnt several holes along the bottom. Maybe done with an iron or something. She claims that these HUGE BURN HOLES I covered up from my listing and I sold her a faulty item. Anyone with eyes would be able to see that was not the case. The state that the blouse was in would have NEVER made it on to my site. It would have gone to the garbage. I only sell my clothes, and ones that are in good condition. Despite all of the pictures, and the lady's admission of guilt, they STILL approved her return.

I am stubborn and I want Poshmark to make a change. I will continue to make complaints about this order. I'll probably refuse the return package. Enough is enough. I want seller protection. Sorry buyers, but I make sure I always buy from a trusted source and if I think any image is sketchy, I ask for new ones or find something else. Good sellers shouldn't be punished for the bad ones out there. It's easy to spot a bad seller, its impossible to know if you're selling to a bad buyer.

I ordered a skirt. Prior to ordering I reached out to the seller and asked if this item was in a pest, pet and smoke free environment. The seller confirmed and I bought the skirt. Because I have a different mailing address and I know how the sellers get paid, when I got an email from Poshmarj confirming the delivery, I accepted it blindly. When I went to pick up the skirt, I opened it and noticed it has white stains and oil spots. When I went.to the site using my cellphone I tried to open a claim and was informed claims can only be opened via their web app or a desktop. I forgot my password and requested a reset email 4 times and never received the email (I am still waiting on that email). I reached out to their customer service and it was reiterated to me how to file a claim and that i am not eligible for a refund because I dod not submit claim within 3 days of delivery, not addressing that I am unable to acces my profile except but through mobile data because whatever the password is (it's masked for privacy), I can't see it.
I am extremely disappointed because I paid money for an item I can't wear not can I remove the damage, yet Poshmark does not seemed too concerned about my rights.

Do your homework.
April 4, 2018

You purchase something and on the 8 day they wont let you cancel. It doesnt say if it is shipped you cant cancel either. Very high shipping. Be very careful, ask questions if they dont tell you dont buy it. I would go some place else.

Just left Poshmark. In the beginning it was fine. But the last three items purchased were not as described. One lady sold me New Balance running shoes. Specifically asked if medium width. She said there were medium. Sent and they were 2A narrow. The next item was a Large sweatshirt with the chest measurements of 21 inches. The item sent was a flimsy sweater 18 inches across. Then another item that was new with tags that smelled like a perfume factory. I rebelled after receiving the sweatshirt and said enough. But after uploading two sets of photos on app and attaching photos to 2 emails, customer report said they did not receive photos. So rather than get more upset, I just walked away as a customer... lesson learned.

Don't order an item from Poshmark unless you are going to be around and able to take photos within the 72 hours they give you of receiving the package. Their system won't allow you to submit a complaint without photos, so when I had my mom check my package for me and I found out it wasn't what the seller said it was, I tried to submit a complaint and couldn't because I didn't have a photo. I emailed them about the issue and they refused to help me because it was out of the 72 hour window. When I emailed them back they ignored me. They do not care about making sure their customers are satisfied, they do not look out for their customers best interests, and their customer service (when they choose to respond) is rude. Horrible experience with them, I am never using their site again.

Crap!
March 25, 2018

Bought a sweatshirt, got an old lady sweater. Opened a claim. Seller called me a SCAMMER! Then she tried to swindle me by saying I could just keep the wrong item, that way I would not get my money back. Ugh... terrible sellers.

I placed two high-end, brand-new items for sale on Postmark. The process was quick and easy. However, I was inundated by texts from people looking at my items and following me. Don't these people have anything else to do? It was distracting and intrusive. I feel I should only get texts when people have questions or want to make an offer. I suggest that instead users receive a weekly EMAIL report with a list of likes/followers. After three months all I got were browsers, no sales. I closed my account and I took my things to a local consignment shop. They sold in a week.

I order a pair of shorts. The misti g said one size, they came a totally different t size. If you dont request a return in 72 hours you cant return at all. (We have a po box so I dont always get my mail right away). So I could r return. Second order said new with tags. Smelled so bad of perfume I couldnt wear it. It would need to be dry cleaned and even then might not be wearable. Poshmark says its ok because I can resell it. Sorry Im an ethical person and I would never sell something as new whe. Its not.

Scammers!
March 19, 2018

As a first time Poshmark seller I received an email just a few minutes after I posted my item for sale. The buyer said her name is DAWNA KAMP and she wanted to send me a check and I didn't have to send my item until I cashed her check. She also said no need to mail item, she had a 'courier' to pick it up? She claimed she had a store where she bought and resold items. Once I responded that I couldn't imagine anyone not having Paypal (especially since she supposedly had a 'store') and also that Poshmark's policy is to use their platform for sales I never heard a word. Sellers beware!

Great for me
March 19, 2018

I dunno. I am pretty darm happy with poshmark. First, I have never been dissapointed. Sometimes maybe a paid a little to much, sometimes I got a great deal. I have always dealt with sellers who are happy to converse, offer close-ups, show me hallmarks as i am a collector of a certain brand of high end costume jewelry. I find their shipping charge reasonable compared to therealreal and I have never as on ebay wondered if I got what I paid for. I am having fun and making out really well

A disgrace
March 17, 2018

Ive order twice from this site and the people leave out so much. Ive gotten smelly sneakers. Ive gotten necklaces that are broken or I cant even open to wear. The sellers look at you like its your fault. They wont issue you a refund even though the products arent as they say. Its just annoying and now Im scared to try anything else. Money just wasted.

I wrote to Poshmark concern 5 packages that our concierge desk declined since my name was not on the lease. I am visiting a friend for a few weeks in Las Vegas... packages were returned to sender. But Poshmark will not tell me how to reach out to the sellers to get the packages resent. I have personal had to reach out to sellers in hopes they would do me a kind favor and resend it. Only one of the sellers has offered to try to help. Its sad there is no one you can actually talk to at Poshmark to help resolve an issue.
If anyone happens to see this and would like to help me figure out what to do, please call, text or email.

Made a $1600 first sale on Poshmark and got the fund after 3 days from delivery confirmation. Even better than Ebay in which my $6000 fund had been on hold for 21 days. Poshmark is awesome for sellers as well as buyers
