THIRSTY SELLERS
NWT
US$0
Size
Not for sale
Like and save for later
Here's the deal, if I'm shopping in a store and am walking around picking things up I like and might want to buy, an employee is NOT going to come up to me and ask if I'm "interesting in buying?" or if I'm "interested?" as I stand there with it in my hand. They probably aren't gonna thank me for liking it either but at least if they did it doesn't sound as desperate, pushy and annoying. So sellers, please STOP this. It's personally a huge turn off and a fast way to lose your potential sale. ππ

Is this your dog? So cute!!
kayblinky
@elenaxoxo haha yep! She's my baby! She was sooooo annoyed with me when I made her wear the birthday hat!
elenaxoxo
I have a thing for chihuahuas π I have one too, I know that face all too well lol
kayblinky
@elenaxoxo what kind do you have? Chihuahuas are such little diva dogs, mine thinks she's a human not a dog lol. She has so much personality. Do you have Instagram? My
IG is Kayblinky, I post way to many pics and videos of her :D
elenaxoxo
I have a short hair chihuahua, he is such a little baby π he is like my shadow, everywhere I go he is right next to me! I'm following you on Instagram
kayblinky
@elenaxoxo yes! Uno has always been my buddy but lately she literally goes everywhere that i go! She whines outside of the bathroom if the door is closed! Haha. I requested to follow you too :)
elenaxoxo
Yuppp sounds just like my Rocco lol I accepted your request on Instagram
kayblinky
@itschesney I hope you don't mind I used two of your photos! Their just too good not to share!
italianlisa
@kayblinky She is soooo precious! Forgive me if she's a boy....
eastcoastluv
@kayblinky Great post. Couldn't have said it better myself. π Had to share it.
kayblinky
@eastcoastluv LOL! Thank you! It's soooooo annoying right? A like doesn't equal me interested in buying your clothes, sometimes it just means for later or maybe even to remember it for a certain reason to find somewhere else or what not! It's such an issue on here. I rarely give business to anyone who asks.
eastcoastluv
@kayblinky I just ignore lol, n def don't buy lol. I also get annoyed when I specifically list on certain items that I "will not trade" this item... N people still write "trade" on those items... Your post was great though. I'm glad posh made a rule against it. I don't like being hustled just bc I "liked" something. If I wanted to purchase I would say so! Right? Lol.
annmarie05
Right!? Lol so annoying! It's like oh since u asked, no I'm not interested anymore! Haha
kayblinky
@jenndearscloset you are totally right. Before I like something I usually now check out that persons profile before, to see if they hound people or if that's their style. I tend to not like something if that's how they are because it just annoys me. To me it's so desperate, but to them they might just feel like they're being nice! So a great debate it will remain, but personally for me I'm not into hounding people after a like. If they like it, it saves into their likes and can ask me questions if anything pops up :)

@alexis1678 people are really backwards aren't they? The lack of common sense in some ladies on here is astonishing!

By the way, your baby is adorable! I have 5 furbabies myself. I love them all!
kayblinky
@ccmaxwell of course sweets! :)
vele
Gf, you're missing one! "I won't share your closet! LOL!
kmcdonnell17
You know i totally agree with you on this!!! And i use to never ask anyone if they were interested simply bc they liked something of mine; and I would be very annoyed when others didnt follow suite. However I read several other blogs and postings regarding the same thing. Most poshers will "like" an item as a way to show their interest. When you reply back to them asking if they are interested, most feel like this is an attentive action and not being annoying or bothersome. Some would even be annoyed if you wouldn't respond to a "like". They say it shows you are serious about selling your items and active in posh. So I am on the fence with my feelings on responding to likes.
I just thought I would share what I have read and picked up on in the several months I have been on posh. Some fellow poshers can be rather annoying with their responses; but most of the usual / repeat closets I buy from are wonderful. @b_love , @serahnee are two sellersI really love.
kayblinky
@kmcdonnell17 I can see that but anyone that if they're simply acknowledging my like and letting me know they're active I appreciate a "thanks for the like!" or even "let me know if you have questions" rather than a "you interested? Make an offer and ill ship tomorrow" type response. To me that just screams desperation and I find that really annoying. People should also get that a like doesn't mean a buy. I like a lot of things that I have no intention of buying to show them that they've for a great closet, style, maybe even I wanna remember them for later when I have money to spend. It's really all about how they phrase it!
kmcdonnell17
Yes I complete agree!! I try to word my response just like you said." Thanks for the like; please let me know if you have any questions. ". It would e like if you actually go to the boutique the sales person following you around and trying to bag up every item you look at! Sometimes I put items in my "likes" so I can look at them later and compare other items similar for pricing and quality, ect. I think you and I will posh very happily together!
tina2luv
Omg I'm guilty of this big time! Lol I just do it for my records so I can follow up w them as w many likes people forget, I must say that 80% of the people I asked bought the item only until I reached out to them. I buy items in posh as well and u like it when they ask me as I'm surfing try tons of closets. And usually I will buy from the ones that contacted me as I feel the other ones didn't even care if I like it. I guess asking if interested? Is shorter and quicker.., but what we should write is " thx fir visiting my closet, keep checking and if interested just ask any questions" and that's it but is too long lol.... I need to improve on this. But thanks for sharing your point of view, I have tried not to ask at times and Only until I do is when they move forward w the purchase lol is just very strange ...
kayblinky
@kmcdonnell17 I agree. You're a sweetie! :)
tiaclark
I think I am guilty of this too! I don't want to annoy anyone, but then again I don't want to ignore anyone!π I usually say thanks for the like lmk if your interested. I know sometimes when I like someone's item it's cause I'm interested in buying and usually they respond, but them again I get people that don't respond when I do like and want to purchase something. I will write a message saying I'm interested in purchasing and don't get a response so then I dislike their item. I hope I didn't annoy anyone or offend anyone.π
kayblinky
@tiaclark were all different. This is just my personal opinion ya know? I think more annoying than the "you interested?" is the "hi, looking to purchase?". AHHHH! Haha.
tiaclark
Yea I do understand where your coming from though!π
kayblinky
@tina2luv yep. And mine is way different than yours. We all have our own ways to communicate with people and make money.
blakely1516
I disagree. I appreciate when someone fills me in on their deals, etc. I think it's polite to follow thru & give thanks by acknowledging the person who "likes" your stuff. It's a compliment π
kayblinky
@blakely1516 I completely disagree. I think it's pushing and annoying when someone asks if you want to buy or bundle immediately. I know how how to ask questions and propose things. I don't appreciate pushiness. I don't mind when someone thanks me for liking, but overly aggressive is just sad.
blakely1516
I hear u- there is definitely a difference. & boundaries that we should all respect.
pooh35
My kinda girl!!!!
angelleoni
Hey girl I think you explained yourself enough and she still doesn't get it- she wrote in the other girls closet that it IS legit and that its not in the guidelines not to do it and this is the first time she's seen it in writing..
kayblinky
@angelleoni I feel like I'm missing something from her, and like she thinks I'm making this up?
kayblinky
@angelleoni who's the other girl?
angelleoni
She lied when she said they haven't refunded her card- she has done ALOT of these and wouldn't of still been doing it if it didn't work- she should of just been honest anyway her closet will be closed I reported her and sent screenshots of her telling people how to do it- some people just don't get it until their closet is closed- maybe posh can explain it better when she gets that email like you did- The others I did not report because they were nice & honestπ
angelleoni
The glittergirl is who she traded with and told her it was legit
kayblinky
@angelleoni OMG what an idiot! Everything she was saying made absolutely no sense at all and I really appreciate you explaining what I was missing. I can only hope that girl gets a taste of her own medicine, I reported her as well. I just liked how she was doubting me, like I was making this up. I just HAD to upload the screenshot of the email to put her in her place. And I'm like you, I haven't reported anyone who has proposed it. But I would if they were like her π
angelleoni
LOL I tagged 2 others that's hope their nice!
kayblinky
@angelleoni I totally was engrossed in the finale in dexter and was half assed reading the comments... I went back now and whole she still doesn't make sense, everything else does now lol. Thanks girly.
angelleoni
Her closet is closed!
kayblinky
@angelleoni Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahaha! Karma is a bitch. And looks like us reporting her helped. Well if she doubted me at all because it "wasn't in writing", looks like she will be getting her own personal writing now!
angelleoni
Exactly!!! I sent screenshots in of her telling somebody it's legit because it doesn't say it isn't in the guidelines- LOL it's common sense that shipping is 6.99$ and if it was free you wouldn't have to go thru all that trouble to cancel- I guess posh should say its mail fraud since its not according to her- I hope she doesn't trash your closet because she may suspect you- if she does LMK and I will tell you how to get the comments off- I had it happen to me..
kayblinky
@angelleoni thanks sweetie. I really appreciate you being so helpful and nice. Honestly I'm not worried about her because I highly doubt she'll pay the money to get her closet unfrozen. How many purchases do you think she's done using cancelled labels? I bet at least 10!
angelleoni
I think your right- BUT remember she said posh never refunded her card so she's all good! She's all good with a closed closet! LMAO
socalgurl
Lol yea some ppl re pushy

@kayblinky lmao so true!!!!

Your baby is adorable!

@jenndearscloset read these! π ^^
kayblinky
@arizeri See?! LOL.
kayblinky
@arizeri oh. my. god. Please let me know who she is so I can BLOCK her immediately. Totally JK. Or am I? Yes, haha. Thanks for sharing that. Also, there is an epidemic of the word "Hun" on here, too. Yes I'm guilty of occasionally dropping the H word from time to time, but it cracked me up yesterday when I checked my notifications and I'm not joking, there were 6 comments that all started with "Hi Hun!" or "Thanks, Hun!". LOL.
selovelyy
@arizeri what do you mean with "here is another one?"
texaschristie
SO cute.. also can I steal this post... I feel the same..
lina47
I figured I should move this convo out of the other user's listing, hope you don't mind! @kayblinky ohh gotchu. haha yeah I'm trying to figure out my size at VS because my "band" measurement according to their fitting video is 29 to 30, but their little number inputter thing doesn't accept lower than 32. So I really have no idea. If I put in 32 and then my "bust" number, it says 32B, but then when I went to a store, they measured me as a 32D so I'm just really confused haha! I have 3 of their 32C bras but the cups are too small. So I'm wary of buying without trying it on, but the store prices are so expensive so PM has been really tempting lol
stineweitzel
OMG... I love this and I mush SHARE I HOPE EVERYONE READS THID BECAUSE ITS SO SO WHO DO THEY ASK U WHEN ALL J DID WAS LIKE THE PHOTO LOL
kayblinky
@squaresinurface i don't get it?? What's a cadey?
pamela77
I like this, I hate when people do that to me too!π
elliestorm
I've started to put "let me know if you're interested" so it's no pressure, is that bad? ππ
kayblinky
@elliestorm to each their own I guess. It's not as bad tho, I will say that!
allpawzmatter
@kayblinky just go to haute look.com t order the dog clothes. They're cheaper then wat I have em priced at. Sale ends Tuesday
kayblinky
@mrsmeier112012 thanks babeπβ€οΈ
allpawzmatter
@kayblinky Yw :)
bellasbeauties
I too agree the biggest turn off ever, it simply makes me scowl my face... Then I don't even care to follow or look in your closet again, don't care for you to follow me, I'm not that desperate.... Awesome
bellasbeauties
Oh also I hit like to save so I can go back and look again or buy IF AND WHEN IM READY! Wish there was another way to put items you like somewhere else. Maybe it wouldn't create the uneasy feeling of being asked ARE YOU INTERESTED or WHEN WILL YOU BUY? Geeze
piecesofjen
@kayblinky @kmcdonnell17 Okay, I got about 1/3 way through this thread and had to comment. I'm generally one who doesn't follow-up on my likes as much as I should. I find that Posh Etiquette is somewhat duplicitous though because in their "βοΈDo's and βοΈDon'ts" they say they say exactly the following:
βοΈDO "Do respond to those interested in your listing in a timely manner and fabulous fashion!" The next statement then says, βDON'T "Don't ask a user if they're interested simply because she liked your listing."
Therefore Kathleen has a valid point and so do you Kayla. I don't know what I'm supposed to say or how I'm to appropriately respond now! Those two statements are somewhat conflicting! I try my hardest to be nice. I don't mass tag EVER, sell fakes, use Paypal, or anything against the rules. I will say I do like it when someone reminds me of a "like" I forgot about. So what do you think?
Thanks for posting this, it's obviously a provocative issue. I would love to hear your honest opinion, seriously. Where do we draw the line? We are supposedly to "respond in a timely manner if someone shows interest in your item" so I'm now assuming that a "like" is not interest, however a question may be? Does that sound right? Help!!!
And, yes, your dog is simply the cutest! I want one so badly, but I have an aging Boston Terrier so I think I may wait a bit. I just had to say say something about your baby!
Oh yeah, I would be remiss if I didn't say something about the whole "Hun" thing! Where in the heck did that come from? I personally cannot stand it! I too, have tons of comments that begin with, "Hi Hun, are you interested?" That's soooo annoying! Again, thanks for posting this! βοΈππ POSH !
paulipoopoo
this.is.great! Lol totally agree. It's super annoying and does not work on any potential buyers...
melissalaurennn

petunia07
I admit, I use too but stopped with interested and just started saying thank you for visiting and liking my closet. That way I acknowledge but don't push :). Plus usually if someone likes something in my closet now I visit and find my own likes in their closet :)
olenka4554
A little of topic... But your dog is adorable !!!
kayblinky
@olenka4554 haha thank you!!! I think so too ;)
jen_nay
Lol
sarahposhposh
Great point! π Still looking for a response to that question that is not totally rude but gets my point across that they really should not ask this. I have written before 'Don't worry, if I am interested you will be the first to know!' But I don't know if that cuts it.
sarahposhposh
And your doggy is adorable!!! I have a little baby too!! πΆβ€οΈπΆβ€οΈπΆβ€οΈ
beautifuladdict
Ugh super annoying i just ignore them
dbarraza
@bltotally agree with you. I see it more of a compliment. Now don't you suppose to like items if you are only interested in purchasing, not just because you think its nice but are not planning to buy??
