Im new to Posh and I realize this article is older. I end up making negative after the shipping, but I was just happy to help someone cause Im a nice person.What happens to me?

I am so sorry that happened to you as well. I recently found a couple of buyers that made me rush to send their packages, only to give me a 2 star rating because the item , in their opinion, wasnt as described. Its takes waayyyy more time maintaining an actual store than Posh! I am a frequent buyer on Poshmark, so understandably it was my first choice. I dont have time for this stupid back and forth game people play on poshmark with that ridiculous offer button so I just declined the offer and she went nuts! Ive had two situations like this. Now posh gets back to me after 3 days asking me for more pictures and tells me the case is still under review and if I send it back on my own I wont get my money back. Listing something as EUC, followed by no other description than the color, tells me absolutely nothing about the actual item. They arrived clearly worn, dirty white sides, toe creases and the price tag was half worn off. Typically since you accepted, they will do a one time refund if you show the wrongful of the description. Too many scammers and creeps!! Posh does seem to be a big high school girl clique .

Posh doesnt seem to have a system in place to protect the seller!! The seller can get their item back and re-list and move on. I got accused once of selling something inauthentic as well and Posh paid both of us and the customer kept the item. And they do have a bad reputation for customer service. I complained to Poshmark and they sided with her. Thank you so much Sydney! She claimed I must have mailed her item (a jewelry piece) to somebody else when that other person had purchases something totally unrelated and I KNOW hers was the only bracelet I had yet to sell.

Over the years, Poshmark has gained popularity as one of the world's leading reseller marketplaces. Had it been like 2-3 or even 5 I wouldnt be so concerned but 15?? Most items I have sent tops , pants and shoes are less then 3lbs and normally would cost under $3.00 to send yet the buyer is forced to spend either $6.79 or $ 5.00 unless the seller wants to pay shipping. Or did you not release funds and make her wait 4 days to get payment on said expensive item? She even supposedly sent them video proof. CONS: Their customer service is horrific, no phone service, insane lowball offers, buyers not accepting, the 20% fee, their email responses are comical, they look at the subject and copy & paste a generic response. I have tried to be super helpful and answer her questions and I just dont think she wants to hear it. The modeling is not happening for me either, perv red flag alert!!!
