Great advice!!

@lachellm so glad you joined Poshmark!!! You will love it. This posher posted so helpful tools to use when making your first sale/trade. Also when carefully buying something. Try not to do email sales or trades only thru Poshmark shipping. I learned the hard way. If you trade or buy an expensive item and get a shitty thing in return Poshmark people can't track it or help if you exchange addresses. Be cautious and ask questions. Can't wait to see if you post items to sale. :) hugs!!! Good luck. Have fun it gets addicting and you meet sweet girls who are honest. Questions just tag me by putting an "@" by my name. :)

@leagali thanks for the info. Great stuff for new people. I wish I never traded some people especially through emails. I got ripped 2x. Now I'm trying to trade someone and I already paid my $7 and she has yet to pay hers and I can't retract my $6.99 grrrr I learned my lesson. Always ask questions and only do business with posh No Paypal and no emails.

Thank you. Wish there were tips for buyers!!
baker72360
Have a question, what if the buyer did not accept the purchase, what happens to the funds?
leagali
@baker72360 the buyer has I believe3 days to accept. I always ask them on a post "did you get the item" sometimes they are new and forget to accept. Sometimes they don't accept if they might want to return it. If no issues posh releases the funds to you after 3 days. I'll check on the time frame for you.
leagali
@baker72360 after 3 days if buyer does not ACCEPT Posh releases the funds to you.

@leagali oh here is a good one I wish people wouldn't sell free samples they get for outrageous prices and stop selling tarnished and ragged items just gone them away please !!!
leagali
@lovecy i agree❗❗😉

@diva621 aww im so embarrassed 😩😩 Btw do you by any chance have a lv shoe box that you can sell😔
leesaash
Don't post items for sale and then check on your closet! Check PM at least e/o day,
leesaash
👆Typo lol. Don't post items for sale and then NOT check on your closet. I bought and aid for two items seller went MIA. After three weeks my purchase was cancelled. Check PM every other day if you are a seller!
leagali
@leesaash i agree!!! I just had to cancel an order. She never shipped or responded 👿 as a seller i check frequently and ship asap. Since as a buyer i love to get my purchased items right away😄😄😄
leesaash
@leagali me too. No clue why anyone would list items a disappear (barring hospitalization)
dawnlapp
Very nice of you to share the info thanks

If you buy something and the person seems not to ship it or seems to be taking forever and is giving you a run around story what can I do?!
leagali
🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳@crystalfaber after certain time you can cancel your order and get your money back. Go under your "purchases" you can send a daily reminder after certain days it will give you the option of canceling and they send your money back 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

tinang223
Thank you for the advice I'm crossing my fingers that my pkg comes thru and that it is all real I paid thru pp not thru posh and did exchange my email.
leagali
@tinang223 Ive done transactions tru pp before due to the shipping costs here. Always read tru past postings from the person you are buying tru pp. if its a big amount its almost better to go tru Posh due to security you can return the item if not as described. Dont worry im sure youll get ur items😃😃
tinang223
Thanks I'm still new to PM and after reading your post makes me feel more cautious now
baker72360
I tried to buy a shoe and I was about paying and I clicked submit order and its shows DO NOT HONOR. What does that mean?

@baker72360 interesting. Ive never seen that or ever heard of it. I hope some that reads your post can tell us. Thanks for sharing!!😃😃😃

megantron1000
thanks for the tips! Wondering...my second sale was a bust. I had taken a pic of my husband's RayBans, and was actually selling them. Not the ones I had intended. Then couldn't locate mine. Cancelled the sale, but I think any hopeful buyers see details of my debacle, and aren't willing to give me a chance. Possible? And how do I fix bad rep... if I have one??
leagali
@carrollmeg hi Megan. Yikes! That has almost happened to me and I panicked i went crazy until i found the item. I was so afraid of the bad reputation. Now i put all the items i have in Posh in a separate room/ box that way i can find quickly to send it. Regarding fixing bad rep. I have read other post were something similar happens and a sincere explanation of what happen usually helps. Then again you can get some mean people that no matter what you say they wont understand. Dont take it too personal there ar e thousands of understanding sellers here in posh. Specially if something similar happens to you as a seller. The other thing i would do i you are worried about people reading the post IS TO JUST. DELETE the post. If you find your item just repost it. If a person is mean and nasty just BLOCK them. Just my two cents. 😃
megantron1000
Thanks!! I've tried to delete, but it's not an option, as far as I can tell. I'll keep working on it. I really appreciate your feedback!
leagali
@carrollmeg i just read your transaction. It semed like an honest mistake. Remember to share your items during the parties and also follow people. When you do, people usually look at your closet and buy items. If you don't follow you have very little people looking at your stuff. That might be why you r not having that many sells not bcz of that other transaction. Hope it help good night.
megantron1000
thank you very much!!

This is just me but to be safe if I'm thinking about buying something I go to somebody else who bought something from the same person and I get their feedback. Just what I do...

How you know who Put it on reserve? Thank you .<3
leagali
@ari_loveexx what do you mean? Also when you have a question tag the person if not they will not know you asked a question. @aracizzleee. When I reserv something for a person i just adjust the price to a really high price do people don't buy it. Sometimes the listing says reserv in yellow that means a person is in the process of buying it. You wount know who that is unless they actually buy it.
aracizzleee
I think you tagged me by mistake 😋

vikoch
I am new to Posh and I found this post, thank you! Since you are very open to help, I decided to ask a question. I wanted to share my listings with the Posh Party, but when I clicked on Share button on my listing, I don't see any any Posh Parties options to choose. Do I do anything wrong?
Thank you for your help!:))
leagali
@vikoch hi Irina. Remember that in order to share your items it has to be while the party is happening. I believe there are 3-4 parties daily that last 1-2hrs only. if you try to share your items other than when the party is happening you can still share but it will only be shared with your followers.
leagali
@vikoch the only other thing is to look at your notifications and make sure those are set as you wish. Hope it helps. ☺
vikoch
@leagali thank you, I realized this later!:)))
slkrone
I have tried and tried to get a sale and nothing. I don't have a lot of listings, but I'm working on adding more. I do have a lot of followers and I am starting to follow more posters. Help what is the problem?
leagali
@slkrone Hi Staci. About selling. Sometimes is just timing it took my a little while to sell then it started. You have cute stuff the only thing I would do is re take some pictures using day light. Some of my pictures I need to retake but it's time consuming and at times it can get overwhelmed. So I try to retake on lazy days. The lavender top you have is super cute but the picture seems a little blurry and it might now show it's true beauty. Also search for similar items and compare your prices to make sure you are not under or over pricing. I've share some of your items to help you with exposure. I'm by no means a professional but I had lots if questions when I started and some ladies helped me out. 😉 also the more followers you have the more exposure. But it takes time to get there. I almost had to follow 20k to get tons of people to follow me. the more people that follow you the more exposure. Hope it helps. 🍃🍃🍃🍃
slkrone
Will you follow me, I know that would help?@leagali Okay Sweetie. Thank you so much for all the information.
sdshopper
I love your help and kind responses! I have almost 5k followers, some sales but for cheap prices. It def takes a while! I hate to ask but if you have any time, can you give me some advice regarding my closet! If not I understand. This week has been slow but my grandma had a stroke and I'm out of town. I am a BIG sharer too/like to help others just like you do💜. Thanks for your time-for me and others!!!
leagali
@sdshopper hello. First if all I hope your abuelita gets better💓. Regarding your closet. Wow I can tell you really spend time on your posts. That is great. I wish I had more time to be as creative. Please by no means I'm not a pro. Just some advice but is up to you. Try to share your items on the late parties so that your sold items routate to the bottom this way some of your items are not left behind. Sometimes if you see several sold items I assume that the rest below are sold and I stop scrounging down. Second delete any old advertising posts. Or refresh them. So if you have post announcing a sale or just for advertising be selective. Too many advertising post can be overwhelming and might be too much for the eyes making the seller just move to another closet. I'll share some of your items for you. 😉😉 hope this helped.
lavieboheme
Absolutely! Great post! Love ur closet. :) <3 my suggestion is to check in on something you want to purchase before you buy it by asking the buyer available? In the comment section. Then u know if they are a working posher or if they just posted a bunch of stuff and abandoned poshmark. Also dont post anything u aren't 100% sure you want to sell!!! I had someone rescind on a sale cuz she decided to change her mind and keep the item :( another good way to get sales is if u have an item with a lot of likes, drop the price a little and tag the people who liked it in a comment so they know it went down. and if u see another item similar to yours on another poshers closet that is sold, follow all the people that liked that item cuz you know they may be interested in something similar. thats targeted advertising. Like i have some vintage and antique hats which are very niche, so i try to target other people that like similar stuff. Plus if you have a lot of a certain brand, look up that brand in the feed because there will be likes on those similar items so u can tell say if u post VS stuff look up VS click on some listings and follow the people that like VS stuff. the more followers the better! The more targeted to your merch the better! thanks for all the tips loves! Good luck my fellow poshers!

Hi! Thanks so much for these tips! If you don't mind, can you tell me how to edit or create a tag line for my closet? It says Karen's Closet, and my location, but I see others add things such as "no trades" and such. How can I add a tag line please? Thanks! Karen

vintagarama
Thanks for all your great tips! How do you check a seller's or buyer's history?
leagali
@vintagarama hi you can't see their history unles they post their sales stats. I sort their items by unavailable or sold and read the sold transactions to see how those went. That tells me lots about the seller.
leagali
@moogoddess hi Karen first sorry I did not see this earlier. When " tagging" a person with a questions don't forget to add the @ " infrint of their name so that they get notified you are asking a question. I just noticed it now 😉. To answer your question. Go to " edit profile" on top of your page next to your picture. There you can add words after your name.
leagali
@emilyrubin you are the best😃😃😃thanks for sharing and helping new poshers. Don't forget to add the @ borefo a poshers name so they get notified of your comment. 😉

Great tips! I am a newbie. What are the rules about returns? Can you return an item if it doesn't fit?
leagali
@sukyscloset hi. No no returns. Make sure you ask lots of questions before you buy.

silvbear
How do you cancel an order?
leagali
@silvbear go to the item you bought and it'll give you an uption. But I believe you only have 45 mins. Once you make the purchase. Sorry if too late.
your_fav_hbs
Love it and totally agree. No all people can spend hundreds for authentic things but at least we can let them know what are buying. Be honest pay back.
jennyst
Im still not sure how to 'talk' to people that ask me questions. Do I just push on the actual words written to me? It always seems to take me back to my own site. If I respond from there will I be getting through to them? Right now I go to their closet and comment through any random item. Help!!!
leagali
@jennyst
leagali
@jennyst hi sorry I just answered. When you answere people you must add @ in front of their name. If you don't they don't get notified you answered them. When you do @leagali I get a notification that some mentioned my name and I just click on the notification and it'll take me to your post. Hope it helps.
leagali
@jennyst also if they comment on your listing click on the comment button and start with the @ then their name and answer their question.
jennyst
@leagali Finally I got an answer!!!! Thank you very much....Jenny

annielaurieshop
Hi kind of new to Poshmark, I don't fully understand the bundle. I see how it works as far as marking in your own closet. When you see someone has bundled how do you follow thru? I acknowledge the bundle but am I suppose to do something else,or wait till they purchase? Also if I drop the price so they get good mailing rate, how do I make any money??? I'm confused! Clearly!
leagali
@annielaurieshop sometimes people bundle but are not thinking of buying right away. I don't like to pressure of they are serious buyers they will but if they are really interested. I only negotiate if they use the offer button otherwise they sometimes waste your time and don't buy. I lower my items once in a while and when I do anyone that click LIKE on it they get notified. If I lower enough it automatically lowers the shipping and again all my likes get notified. Hope this helps.
