Wow, LOWBALLING much these days?

I don't think people understand that when we place a price tag on our items, we welcome your offers but please believe that we know when someone is trying to lowball us. If our price is $60 and you offer $25 then you should automatically know you're going to get counteroffered. We pay good money for our merchandise and this isn't a garage sale so please be mindful when we decline your lowball offers. Also, in case you didn't know, Posh takes 20% of our earnings regardless of what we sell it for.

@shugahs This is perfect !! I've had brand new items that are discounted 50% or more and had people ask me to chop the price in 1/2 ! Not 😭😭😭😭😭
shugahs
@jazznu68 Girrrrl, it's pretty sad that they think we're an online garage sale!!! I'm sooo glad to know I'm not alone…

shugahs
@elleemann LOL, I loooove your response!!! You are sooo right… it's also very irritating to put a price on something with tags and they practically want you to "give" it to them!! Ugh....

@shugahs love your post and totally understand. I have discounted a lot of my coach items and they are still trying to get something for nothing. If I wanted to give it away, I would done so already. Where is the love button for this post?...lol!!
shugahs
@ms_alisha2u I know that's right shugah! It's so annoying when they try to offer the lowest amount possible and then cop an attitude when you decline it or counter offer them😡 Just a shame, a down right shame…
I wish we did have love buttons and inbox messages too!!!

I am new to posh and just learning about what "lowball" offers are. Question: if your item is listed at $100, and someone offers $65 or $75, is that a "lowball" offer? And does it offend you? If a person offers an unreasonably low price, it seems like what they are expecting is for you to counteroffer... Who would really expect the seller to accept such a low offer? Keep in mind I am not disagreeing with the premise presented here. I'm just trying to understand how to avoid alienating sellers during a negotiation. Any information and comments are appreciated! Thank you.
shugahs
@aelalea Hi and welcome to Posh😉
Don't feel bad about not knowing what lowballing is..I just found out myself! Lol
To answer your question: I feel that if you have a price on an item and a customer tries to offer you a "garage sale" amt, then that is TOO low.
Your question in regards to the example of the price marked at $100 and the offer is $65 or $75, it truly depends on how much you feel the item is worth and if after Posh takes their cut, would it be fair to you?!?!
For example: I had an item marked at $70 and this lady offered $25 so I counteroffered for $65 (letting her know I was NOT giving it away)So she counteroffered for $60 and I took it. I think alot of times people expect you to just accept their first offer but if you don't care about not making anything after fees, then you can accept a low offer or if you are really strapped for cash, you may or may not accept. Because what they fail to realize is just like they offered there are 5-10 other offers that have come in for the same item and the seller can take their pick.
I hope that helps…
Hopefully some of the more seasoned Posher's will give you some feedback.
I love Posh and sometimes I enjoy the challenge with the offers but I despise being taken for granted! If I paid good money for it then I'm certainly not going to give it away for free…
Good luck to you shugah😄

Amen sister!! I had someone lowballing me for a coach too and it's irritating!
shugahs
@angienurse Ugh, that's very annoying when they do that. You don't want to do that but hey, it's a reflection on us. I love the new Offer button 😄👍 😉
shugahs
@angienurse True!!!! Good to know we're all on the same page…

I shared this one Twice! Lol I have one lowballer keep coming back! And she never buys anything..
shugahs
@beautifullife8 LOL!!! Girrrrl, she is really trying you!!!
I had no idea what low balling was until I joined Posh. That lady really likes your closet (I love your closet) to keep coming back but she needs to chill on her low balling...

*standing ovation *
katielady1982
I have a listing similar to this at the bottom of my page. I list the absolute worst offenders and block anyone that offers me less than half of my asking price. All of my items are in great and sometimes unused condition. I would never make an offer of 50% or more off. It's really rude.
dianakaren
omg yes!!!🙌🙌 I had someone today actually that I have something listed at $10 and they offered me $3......😳 um, that leaves me with FIVE CENTS!😂 I couldn't believe it.
shugahs
@katielady1982 OMG, I feel it's very rude as well! Posh is NOT a garage sale!!! Ugh....
shugahs
@dianakaren WHAT??? Was she nuts or what??? Wow, they seriously need to take an etiquette class on how to bid!!!! Geesh...
helloposhme
I LOVE THIS! I'd like to add that to me it's incredibly rude when someone posts things like; "trade" "lowest", "Pay.... .. " etc. I mran please.... ask a real question. Use your words!!! Maybe it's a social media etiquette thing that I don't get, maybe others find that totally acceptable, but I CAN'T STAND IT!!! It's especially annoying if it's also clear the person intends to lowball, like when you've seen them posting such things all over posh!!! Grrr!
lovestoryshop
This is too perfect! Thank you for this!! 👌🙌❤️
shugahs
@helloposhme & @lovestoryshop 😄😉😆😊
I agree and I pray they realize how silly they look when we call them out on it!!! Soooo annoying😯😐😞😩
lovestoryshop
@shugahs I agree! Sometimes it's so absurd that it is simply rude!! 😂😣😑 I am more then happy to meet them half way.. Only if they realized that we are making such little profit already of not any at all!😐
shugahs
@lovestoryshop Yesss, I totally agree with you! It's really sad that we don't make as much as we really should. If Posh didn't take 20%, then we could work with them a little more. Maybe if they had days that they didn't take the full 20% or none at all on certain days, then we'd be able to offer more discounts. There are so many things I wish they'd consider.
1. We need a personal chat(instant messaging) with customers sometimes because they really shouldn't have to pour their hearts out on the comment section to get us to work out a deal with them.
2. 20% or even cut down to 5% on certain days. They make enough to do that. (I would've said 10% but only the Lord gets 10%!)
3. If an item is $50 and all the customer has is $50 and they can't afford shipping but we can't afford to decrease due to the 20%, then we should be able to have like 3 overrides per month to work with and zero out their shipping fees.
Just a thought. Only because some apps don't take any fees out but I love Poshmark💖👍
lovestoryshop
Yes I could NOT agree with you on this anymore. I mean how amazing would it be if they actually had days of reduced rates or even FREE shipping a couple times a month??! I mean the specials they run for $2.99 shipping helps but it's only a $2 less 😒😒 This would eliminate people trying to sell through 🅿️🅿️ and gain the appeal to new users! Also personal messenger would be SO amazing!!! 👍 I feel like Big Brother at times like that we're on surveillance 😂😂 Maybe some of these matters could be brought up at a Posh Meet. I am def grateful that PM gives us such a platform & exposure but there is ALWAYS room to improve & make PM even more incredible! Glad we share the same views sista! 🙌😘
shugahs
@lovestoryshop Meee tooooo sista😄😉😆
I had no idea about the Posh meetings.
Yes, I agree that the discount shipping rates are only $2 off and it would truly help us if they allowed us some discounts on their 20% fees every now and then...
Awwww, it's been nice chatting with you, my PFF (sista from another mother)
Keep in touch and be blessed my friend!
lovestoryshop
@shugahs It was great chatting with you too!!! Wishing you SO much success and many sales here on PM!! See you around!! ✨☺️💜🙏😘✨

This is the best I've seen we all need in our closets 🌹thank u I really like this
shugahs
@nlgka I agree...I've had to start saying "Peace be still" when they lowball me and my sis @stepfresh lately!!! She told me to not get upset, just stay calm and say "Peace be still" and it has truly helped me😄😉😆
I wish they would realize we can't just GIVE it away! Ugh....
nlgka
@shugahs I posted a letter under make me offers check it out I spoke for all us Poshmark ladies . Yesterday I marked my whole closet 1/2 I need to move this stuff I have so much..... To list I might open another closet but sure enough were it Says all prices lowed read that one everything I sold this weekend was more offers I need the $ better than nothing but I'm being Robbed. It says not taking offers at the moment everything was marked fine so why do they make offers ??? Most are fellow poshers u go in there closets all high end I don't see them taking offers . It's crazy 🌹Allison
shugahs
@nlgka Ohhhh my goodness!!! Yesss, that's what I noticed too..they offer you $20 for a $100 item but their closet has the same item but in a different color and they're asking for $130????? Ugh..
I told my sis @stepfresh that I was gonna go to their highest priced item and offer $2 for a $200 bag! I dare them not to accept....lol I'm getting heated just typing this. I wish Posh had a buzzer like they do on Family Feud where it puts a big fat red X on their screen because they lowballed us!!!!! And then it wouldn't allow them to bid on another Poshers closet for 24/48 hours😀😀😀😀😀😀 be even better if it sent an alert to us so we'd know they have a history of lowballing!!! Lol
nlgka
@shugahs yes we're all aware of it I had a lady on that long blue dress in my closet for one day lowered it to 13 she offered me $5 I said I had just a few minutes ago lowered it $ 5 I told her I do this for a living this is my only income so after Poshmark takes a little what am I getting I have worked harder on her than any job I ever had they just are so rude . They should go pay full price bloke I did
shugahs
@linda1284 Ugh, you knoooow they know better! I'm fed up...Now I just say Peace be still and I answer them and sometimes I don't! Lol
shugahs
@linda1284 Ooooh, that's soooo annoying!!! Yes, I've had someone to constantly low ball me too and now I just ignore her....
Yesss, you can block her! I think you go to their page and those dots at the top, click on that and I think it gives an option to block. Soooo annoying!
shugahs
@linda1284 😄😉😆😊😀😁

All of these posts are on POINT! Really? Troll some other sites and see what happens when you make INSANE OFFERS! When potential customers do this type of thing, it certainly insults your intelligence and is usually a pretty good indicator of theirs! WHEW! Feel better already! 😐😒 Very hard "side eye".😃

@elleemann I don't usually respond to requests for trade since I post no trades! And I usually do the same for the lowball offers. It's just rude to get those. But I do love the comment of trade for the posted price!

Hi @shugahs I would like to know if u don't mind if I used this post first of all, and then how do I copy it? 😊
shugahs
@mo2580 Awww, I don't mind at all! Sadly, I have no idea how to copy things from Posh on my phone to share😭 I've been wondering how to do it as well.
@nyreecox @erika75 😄😉😆 Hey shugahs, hope you ladies are doing well! Do either of you know how we copy from Posh on our phones? My Galaxy Note 3 doesn't work like my other phones or I just don't know what to do to copy from Posh. Lol I know sometimes I'll see pictures in my gallery that I have some how copied but I have no idea how I did it.
Thanx in advance ladies and I'll tag you once I find out @mo2580 😄

@shugahs A BIG Thx 😍😍😍. I've got an iPhone 5 if that matters. But I really REALLY would love to have this post in my closet.....would appreciate any help. Thx for responding 😊😊😊😘

@mo2580 Oh, no problem😊 Yea, I don't have an iPhone like the rest of the population. Lol

Hope the info helped you.
@nyreecox Awww, that's ok😃 Lol, I do that too and I hate that it's no way to use edit!

they are listing many things for dirt cheap. Typically we would just call that a great deal. That being said, they've been banned from V!nted for this same thing. They also have a facebook page full of random nonsense. The person Gavin Hilty has an extensive background in criminal history if you google him.

You know...my experience has been that the only ppl to try that are the Gold Dealers! Everyone else (mostly) has been pretty respectful of my prices... Your other post is hilarious tho!!👍💋

shugahs
@mgstahl 😄😉😆 Thanx
shugahs
@heathermontg Yesss, I wondered about that! He has pictures that you get off the Internet and not the actual item itself. That's what caused me to wonder! When I said something to you about your comment on his actions, he blocked me😂😁 I hope Posh catches them. They have feminine pads, portable closets (saying free shipping😈) and ALOT of other non - related items. They make it seem like it's a flea market and it's definitely NOT! Thanx for leaving that comment and for contacting me😄
shugahs
@abstractdreams Lol, thanx😃 Yes, we've had alot of great buyer's and people that we've purchased from as well. There are a few that have tried us but once we counteroffer them back, they disappear😏😎
Thanx😄😉😆

SERIOUSLYYYYYYYY I have had more lowball offers lately than ever. Half the listed price or less is not acceptable. AND what is up with the buyers who don't say a word to me??!! I always make a point to thank someone for a purchase and tell them my shipping plans. I've had like 3 in a row who haven't said a peep in response. =( Ugh. That really bugs me. Maybe its just me though! lol
shugahs
@pre_pa514 😲 No response at all. Annoying! We've gotten so fed up with these lowball offers, we just shake our heads in unison. It's ridiculous! It's so annoying to list a NWT item and to get an offer 50% off & receive a counter $1 more than the first crazy offer😔😩 If there was some way to implement a system wide "shake" with their ID that would flash across all of our screens so they could see just how dumb they look, that would be awesome!!!

chunglee4819
@shugahs yes I just love it when you got something marked for a hundred dollars and someone offers you 30 or 40 dollars I then tell them I would love to just give you my merchandise but I paid more than that for it my self some people Crack me up they just don't care if you make anything as long as they get what they want or try to offer half price for your items they wouldn't go to the store and barter on prices it is very annoying
chunglee4819
@katielady1982 yes I block those people as well I think that they are just being rude then your go look at their closet and their prices are outrageous for stuff that is no way as nice as yours
chunglee4819
@elleemann yes I go through this all the time , it ain't rocket science. well maybe to some it is lol.

@elleemann Omg, I feel the same way! I truly wish they'd make that one of the rules...NO LOWBALLING!

scarletp
@shugahs Not just buy it and when it does not fit report it as not as described😡I will stop now *rant over* I am sorry to clutter up your listing with my whining. But it does feel good to get it off my chest.
shugahs
@scarletp Omg, I agree with EVERYTHING you said🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It's soooo annoying when they do that!! Lowballing should be against the rules of Posh😒
That's ok, you can vent here😊 No problem at all😉

@shugahs Hi friend! Came upon these comments while sharing your lovely closet! You welcomed vents so here goes......buyer bundled several items... I lowered the price of 1 item to $4 in order to give her a better deal. Guess what.....3 star rating bc shirt was too short!!!😁😁😁😁I feel better now. Thanks and have a blessed evening 💕❤️💕

@shugahs well said my friend. Well said! I actually had a girl ask me to trade today. Now I'm not against trading but my $238 VSPINK outfit for what? I would have had to put her whole closet together in a bundle to make up the difference! So, in a way that was lowballing too! Then she got upset?! I paid A LOT for that outfit and it's rare and lmtd edition, it just isn't worth her walmart duds! Not that I don't love Wally, but I'm sure not trading good stuff for not so good stuff!
opie221
@elleemann that's hilarious!!! I had a girl want to trade my expensive outfit today and she got mad cuz I said I wouldn't trade my expensive well made outfit for her whatever! I don't mind trading, it's cool, it's how the world started but at least amount up! Or SHOW ME THA MONEYYYYYYYYYYT!!!! I don't trade cows for chicken!
shugahs
@opie221 Woooow, really🤤 That's a real lowball for sure😒 Yea, I love Sally world too but I will NOT accept anything low for my good quality items😞 I don't blame you!!
