Suggestions for dealing with unpleasant Poshers

Not for sale
Like and save for later
Since my list of bad Poshers was removed & is considered against the rules, here are tips: โญ1. Ask a seller if item is available & when can they ship โญ2. Never feel obligated to accept a low ball offer. If the offer is insulting, just block the person or ignore them. You can also counteroffer if you chooseโญ3. Think of Poshmark as a thrift shop. Expect to wash your items whether new or not. Home aromas vary & some may be unpleasant. Give your seller the benefit of the doubt as most mean well. ๐

@queendivacloset I love this so much. I wish everyone could read this.๐
queendivacloset
@michellel614 Thanks. I was really trying to help others avoid the not so great Poshers that I have encountered but someone on the list successfully got Poshmark to remove it so I guess all we can do is share tips to help us have better experiences ๐ญ
michellel614
@queendivacloset that list would have helped me probably. I had someone call me the B word earlier. She had liked one of my listing and I sent her a message , buy it NOW. Her rely was nasty. I asked her basically y the name calling, She said I yelled at her and demanded. I said buy it now like the buy now button next to the make offer button. Apparently all capital letters mean yelling. Yeah I did not at all know that. But I learned from that experience.
queendivacloset
@michellel614 I would report her for harassment. There's a lot of negative attitudes on here and it's too bad that calling people out for their wrong doing is not allowed. I kinda feel like they took away my freedom of speech by deleting my post & threatening to revoke my account privileges.
michellel614
@queendivacloset oh wow, I get both good and Bad. So far more good than bad but when it bad it's kind of stressful. But we can just try to take it for what it is and make the best of it. It's beautiful people like you and my friend Janene, genuine nice people that keeps me Poshing.๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
queendivacloset
@michellel614 Awe, thank you. ๐ I have had mostly positives as well so it's great that the good outweighs the bad and most of us are sane and considerate individuals ๐ญ

**All of us sellers are sorry that a LUXURY item can't be bought right now. A lot of us do this to make ends meet. "Window shop" on Posh and "like" the item and wait until you can make a reasonable offer.
curveadvocate
CAUTION: THIS ISN'T TO INSULT ANYONE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH @queendivacloset BUT I FEEL HER.
*Rule of thumb is to only ask for 20% less than asking as Posh already takes 20%.
curveadvocate
*I'm sorry you're on Social Security and you only have $60 left for the rest of the month and you still need to buy dog food. Buy your dog food and keep the rest for an emergency.
*I'm sorry if a name brand item costs more than three months of your trash service that you still have to pay. Why bother even saying that? You mean to tell me you have smelly, nasty trash building up at your house but you want a shirt?
queendivacloset
@curveadvocate Omg! Yes exactly! As if its our obligation to lower the price to accommodate their unfortunate circumstances. If your budget is so tight then your priorities are out of wack. Shopping should be the last thing on your priority list. Also there is a price filter to help you stick to your budget rather than low ball for 50% off or more than the listed price โญโญโญ
curveadvocate
I didn't know there was filtering so you could look for items within your budget. If anyone low balls me then I will suggest that. I wish what you started here could be seen by lost of people. It would make for an excellent topic!
queendivacloset
@curveadvocate Thanks :)

lvingdeadgrl
@queendivacloset Thank you for all of this. Forgive me, I can see you're busy... but have you considered starting a blog on an outside site with your list above? Simply names, details optional (or upon complaint:) Maybe an option for fellow poshers to add/link their own experiences (anonymously even.) I'm sure you would get the followers. Just a thought, like a posh neighborhood watch :)
queendivacloset
@lvingdeadgrl Hello. I actually have considered making a separate post on my blog but I wouldn't want to risk losing my closet over it. I just learned how to deal with certain situations.
lvingdeadgrl
@queendivacloset Totally understandable. I found Posh accidentally on a search for a specific item a few weeks ago. So I haven't fully read the terms of service regarding outside websites. It's an awesome site. Lol.. I have seen some people post screen shots of negative experiences which then show up under the "Listings you may like" section. Thank you again, I look forward to fully exploring the site/community :)
brwn27713
sometimes i ask they say yes and still never ship
queendivacloset
@brwn27713 That happened to me too. I just ended up canceling the transaction since they claimed they were too busy to ship. ๐

Great tips @queendivacloset !
queendivacloset
@believebig Thanks ๐ I like your name by the way. It's very positive ๐๐
believebig
Thank you @queendivacloset ! I like your name too. It is so fun. I like to keep it positive and connect with other positive Poshers like you!
queendivacloset
@believebig Awe, thank you ๐๐๐
queendivacloset
@allygyrl Well said ๐๐๐. I totally agree. I also notice how some make an offer in the comment section and then when you tell them to submit their offer using the offer button they disappear. I think some people like getting you to lower your price for nothing as they have no intentions on buying.
queendivacloset
@allygyrl You're welcome & thank you also ๐๐

jjbr
So true! Love this. I'm new, so not a lot of experience with sales on Posh. Tips like this are greatly appreciated! One thing I've done is read or at least skim all the comments for things I've liked/ shared. Sometimes go to the "about" or other listing to see reviews and get a good picture. Takes a little more effort, but I've gotten a feel for good sellers and hopefully avoided drama by blocking a few ridiculous users-judging from their online behavior and other's experiences with them.
queendivacloset
@jjbr Yeah checking out their comments and looking at their interaction with others is indeed very helpful.
neesedaprinter
@queendivacloset wow...
skullee
hi...I'm a new posher too 6 days now..."&" i already got my first trash comment "&" they aren't even an authority on the item!....can you believe!?...that is really too bad posh took this listing away from you cuz i'd really like to have read who they are, block them & tell everyone about them & this trash poshers name & get her blocked...oh well, what can you do...thx for letting me vent.
queendivacloset
@skullee Sorry you had to experience that. While I understand they want to keep things positive, I don't think ignoring the bad Poshers are productive either. I recently ordered something from someone who was rude from the jump and then after tolerating their attitude & waiting over a week for them to ship, they cancelled my order and gave me more attitude afterwards. It's a shame ๐
taffetadarling
this is really helpful! thank you! I'm new to Poshmark and nervous about getting into it-- especially listing items to sell. even tho I love how it works, the negative/hurtful stuff kinda intimidates me!
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Welcome to posh! I wouldn't worry about the bad. The good does outweigh the bad overall. When it happens it can get under your skin but for the most part Poshmark is pretty cool. If you ever need to chat about your experiences, I am here ๐๐
skullee
@queendivacloset really!!!...that is so wrong ..one thing i have been learning is if i am buying i make sure this posher has lots & lots of comments from a long line of poshers & read read read for any scammers & bad comments on the posher I'm buying from....only problem now for me with this trash talking posher, i have a bad comment i can't delete in my listing for others to read from jump street before i can build a good rep....huh!!!
queendivacloset
@skullee You can re-list your listing and delete the one with the comments. I have done that a few times.
taffetadarling
@queendivacloset definitely! thanks again ๐
queendivacloset
@nyorkeratheart Thanks for sharing. ๐ Every once in a while we may encounter an unpleasant transaction. I've certainly had my share as a buyer & seller.
queendivacloset
@lydisgoodiez Lol, I'd be happy to give it to you. They deleted it though
queendivacloset
@lydisgoodiez Sure thing! I don't have the complete list but I do know of a few that you may want to avoid. I will email you soon.
taffetadarling
hello again! I've had a couple more positive buying experiences since I commented on this post last month, and I think I'm finally ready to list my own items to sell! may I please take you up on your offer to chat so I can get advice on a couple things? ๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Absolutely! ๐โญ
taffetadarling
woo hoo! well, first of all... is there a way to send private messages or are we supposed to communicate by leaving comments??
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Comments. You can send me your email if you like.
taffetadarling
ok just making sure before I started posting stuff, thanks!! I read your other post about people abusing the whole "following" process-- I have like 700 followers even tho I'm not selling anything, and I understand what you said about not being able to keep up!! I don't want to be rude and not follow users-- I love the PM sharing/community concept
taffetadarling
but I'm also trying to be careful to follow people that I truly support and respect the rules, which makes going thru each user's info/listings very time consuming!! any advice on balancing this?
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Some new Poshers may not take the time to read the posh rules and may unknowingly post things they are not supposed to. I personally don't pay it much attention and follow and share as many closets as possible. I don't share items that are against the rules, but i try to find items in their closets that are allowed to share. Also if you go to your profile and follow your followers, you can follow people back more faster.
taffetadarling
thank you!! this makes perfect sense! I've seen lots of posts about only following certain users; I thought it seemed really restrictive, especially for people that make honest mistakes! I'm glad I asked you about it ๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Sure, โ
Anytime ๐๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Tag me when you post stuff and I'll be happy to share your items ๐

great, thank you! I was just about to ask you if I could tag you to get your feedback ๐

Fantastic tips! Thank you so much for sharing!

@krisgoetz Anytime. Thank you for visiting my closet ๐๐๐
rosystrinkets
@queendivacloset This is such a great post. If I had only read this before I took a low ball offer and to top it off to a very unprofessional buyer. Now I know best and block those who offer me low ball offers :-) :-)
queendivacloset
@rosystrinkets Yeah. Every once in awhile we may regret a sale. You think you're being nice by giving a great discount just to discover an ungrateful buyer. I've learned the hard way. It's all good though. We learn from it ๐๐๐พ
rosystrinkets
@queendivacloset omg yes so true exactly what happened to me. Plus im such a nice seller I even added a gift and still they were not happy so I just blocked them. :-) :-)
queendivacloset
@rosystrinkets I know right? Sometimes freebies, great customer service and fast shipping just isn't enough for some people lol
rosystrinkets
@queendivacloset You are so right hun. Its amazing how some buyers I think are just in it to hurt other closets so they can seem as the good guy. I just said the heck with it im not going to let them get to me. :-)
queendivacloset
@rosystrinkets Good for you๐ What a positive attitude to have ๐๐พ
rosystrinkets
@queendivacloset Aww thanks hun. You definitely are an amazing person to talk to :-) :-)<3
queendivacloset
@rosystrinkets Awe thank you. So are you ๐๐๐
rosystrinkets
@queendivacloset Thank you hun hope we definitely keep in touch :-)
queendivacloset
@rosystrinkets Will do โ
vparkercma
I had an experience i would like to share. I was created a bundle and had been talking back and forth with the seller. Right in middle of this happening my daughter gets admitted to the hospital. I guess because i didnt get back to her immediately she says, " Well im going to bed." I had missed the window for reduced shipping which i didnt know was only good for one hour.
vparkercma
And at that point i had apologized for not getting back to her and told her about my daughter being in the hospital. The next day i go into her closet to finish the deal and she had screen shot our conversation and on the cover shot said THIS LADIES, IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF BAD POSH ETIQUETTE and she blocked me so i couldnt even defend myself. I had a family emergency and no matter what my family ALWAYS comes first.
vparkercma
I read all the messages again and i dont feel i did anything wrong. I just didnt get back to her immediately. I just started up my closet and i have worked so hard on it. My goal is to make this my business. And now she has smeared my name all over Poshmark. I think what she did is bad Posh etiquette. I am hurt, angry and disappointed about this situation.
queendivacloset
@vparkercma Thanks for sharing. It can be tricky because sometimes people log off right after leaving a comment
queendivacloset
@vparkercma Oh wow how rude! I would report her to posh for that
queendivacloset
@vparkercma Poshmark will remove it because it is against policies to do that
vparkercma
How do i report it?
queendivacloset
@vparkercma report the listing and email posh support
queendivacloset
@vparkercma email support@poshmark.com
vparkercma
@queendivacloset I found it and reported it as harassment. I tried to share it with you but it wouldnt let me. I think bc she blocked me. Will they just take it down or will they say something to her ? People should be repremanded in some way for doing things like this.
queendivacloset
@vparkercma She will get a warning just like I did. I had made a list of all my bad experiences and shared what they did & someone reported it and posh removed it. It's a privacy violation & against posh rules.
taffetadarling
hello ๐ how have you been? how did your party go?? I'm sorry I couldn't participate!
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Hello. I am good. The party went well, thanks for asking ๐ How was your vacation?
taffetadarling
oops forgot to say I also have another PM etiquette question ๐ when I shop for specific items, I end up "liking" a lot of similar stuff and then narrow down my selections. I've purchased 6 or 7 things by now, but my list is full of items I'm not interested in anymore. is it rude to un-like listings? I still make sure to share them!
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Liking and unliking is normal. You're never obligated to buy just because you like an item. The seller is not likely to notice your unlike. There's nothing wrong with unliking I do it all the time ๐๐พ
taffetadarling
well..... we came home from our vacation a day early because our dog was sick, and then we had to say goodbye and put him to sleep. it's been really difficult. my husband and I are heartbroken. ugh sorry for being so depressing, but I didn't want to lie!
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you. ๐
taffetadarling
thank you very much ๐ and thanks for the advice, too! I appreciate any distractions right now, and PM is a great one! ha ๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Anytime ๐๐๐พ๐๐
pupton7
I like your statement about giving sellers the benefit of the doubt. I had an experience where smoke smell was picked up from the mail carrier. That was an eye opener.
Have a great week๐
queendivacloset
@pupton7 Thank you. I have received quite a few repulsive odor filled stuff myself but because the sellers were so sweet to me and shipped fast I couldn't complain & left 5 star feedback because I intended to wash them regardless. ๐๐ฝ
taffetadarling
oops sorry! I just posted a question for you on your party announcement listing, but now I can't find it ๐ did you get it?
taffetadarling
hi there! how are things? I'm looking for more help from my fabulous Posh-mentor ๐ do you have any tips or advice on how to handle offers? do I have to respond/counter to all offers? is it rude to just decline? thank you!!๐๐
taffetadarling
I read your earlier tips of course, but I don't want to have issues with buyers before my first sale! so I want to make sure there aren't any specific etiquette rules I don't know about. just wanted to be clear ๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling Awe thank you๐ With offers that I feel is too low, I usually counter and politely leave a comment such as (Thank you for your offer, I prefer to keep things close to my asking price) or if the price is firm I let them know. Sometimes I'd rather keep an item than sell below my preferred price. I decline insulting offers tho because if they are rude enough to offer over 50%++ off then declining is not a problem to me .
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling It all comes down to your own preference. I became more clear about my preferences after I've experienced a few irritating scenarios such as low balling, asking for discount then disappear without purchasing, etc...
taffetadarling
thank you, I agree! I just need to stop second-guessing myself... actually, are you comfortable with giving me your email address so I can ask you more specific questions?
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling You can email me at chickenbeef1410 at gmail dot com.
taffetadarling
thanks! email sent ๐
queendivacloset
@taffetadarling I got it ๐
nicole_12382
@queendivacloset wouldn't it be nice if Poshmark had a way that we could see the reviews of each buyer and their ratings and the amount of great, neutral, and bad experiences buyers had with the seller?. It would also be nice if the sellers could rate the buyers as well. I'm still new to Posh maybe this feature exists buy I have yet to find it.
queendivacloset
@nicole_12382 Yes it would be! Some buyers just can't be pleased no matter what you do and it would be nice if sellers could rate back also. ๐๐พ

Thanks for all the comments. I'm new & trying to get my things ready to sell. It seems I can't find all the info in one place. Do any of you all know how I can find it? I'm constantly finding new rules that I was not aware of. Thanks again!!
queendivacloset
@marylynn47 Posh periodically updates its policies. The best you can do is check once in awhile to see if anything has changed under Poshmark support & Community Guidelines.

waterlily27
@queendivacloset Hi beautiful Queen, I am writting you here instead of in my closet since poshmark is now watching me!๐ I posted two special pictures! One of a wedding invite, ( please feel free to goggle the grooms name.) The other one is of Tamarra, Susan and Susans sister. The pictures more the prove that Tamarra has not lied, and further more she is whom she claims to be!!! She's been threatened, harrassed & lied about by some very jealous, hateful people on this site! She is sick of it!!!
queendivacloset
@waterlily27 It's so unfortunate that some bad apples can ruin the experience of poshmark for others making them want to leave. At the first sign of rudeness or conflict of any sort, I've learned to block people to prevent them from getting to me. Neither you or Tammara should have to explain yourselves to anyone. Whatever issue that person had is their problem. Blocking is our best defense against drama. ๐๐พ

sherettecloset
@queendivacloset so glad for your post. ... I wish I had seen it before my experience as a buyer. She took a longtime to send my items and when I received it. It was nothing like the picture. It was roughly and hurriedl sown. no tags like mentioned. It had made me very sceptical about buying. I understand the anxiety trying to buy, but not fair to sellers who are actually honest, as a seller I have felt the backlash. So I thank you so much for the precautionary tip ๐
queendivacloset
@sherettecloset No problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. ๐๐

Great info
queendivacloset
@tonibdevine Thanks ๐
gogetit4462
Good info. I look at low balls as an opportunity to explain what I am selling and why. I think many people struggle to envision the value of an item. If not, I appreciate the opportunity to share more info and move on. I've seen items and can't imagine why they are listed. Wish we could chat about how to wear a certain item or where the prices come from. I'd probably bid more for sure.
queendivacloset
@gogetit4462 Thanks for your input. That's a different and more positive way to look at it. I think as a seller we put more value on items than what a buyer is willing to pay. Sometimes I think of how long I've had it for sale and accept less than I want. Other times it's worth waiting to sell at the preferred price.
gogetit4462
That's a good point also. Maybe there is value in coming up with a rubric that explains brand/timeline of ownership/ care of the item/ price, to best represent value. Though sometimes how things are styled in an ad gives me a new outlook on an addition to an outfit. Good stuff.
ppamprrd
Oops. Just posted one that was supposedly scammimg. Not sure if thats a problem or not. The woman probably shpuld have reported to Poshmark.com directly...I guess.๐ค
queendivacloset
@ppamprrd Hi. Yes she should report directly to poshmark because they consider it bullying when users post publicly those who have wronged them.
ppamprrd
@queendivacloset ok. Thx. Really good to know. I'm new to all of this. Learning quick!
queendivacloset
@ppamprrd Anytime! I'm happy to help ๐๐๐๐พ
fitzwater79
Good morning I have a quick question you seem to know a lot about this stuff so its very helpful to me I have only been on posh since july and lets just say I have had tons of problems as I told you before but the other day when I asked if you say there is a problem with the item it shows the seller the buyer contacted posh right ?
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I'm ttrying to understand this because this woman got my authentic Gucci item and she still hasn't accepted it and all it keeps saying to me is pending acceptance. That's why I'm asking because I was nice and sold it for alot lower than it was priced. I finally measaged her about it. I just want to be sure you know what I mean.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Good morning. If it's pending acceptance that just means she hasn't accepted it yet and poshmark will automatically release your funds on the 4th day. If she filed a case or had a problem, you would see that too on your end and posh would email you about it too.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset your the best. I'm thankful you atleast get back to me. I'm really not happy about this. Like I said to you the other day about the fake palette deal because she knew I did so. However this lady just is totally avoiding it and I messaged her because its an expensive item. I get they have 3 days but come on!!! I never do this to people. .. thanks again @queendivacloset . I appreciate it. :-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 You're very welcome. Glad to help. ๐๐
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Oh you helped me a lot. I just don't understand why people are like this its so rude. I received my MK bag yesterday and I got it out looked it over made sure it was authentic and I hit accept order 5โ said thanks so much it was as described Etc. I looked back to see if this lady does this a lot and she actually asked others to go in an accept her orders. So she didn't like waiting! Well neither do I lol.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Yeah I can understand your frustration especially since you've contacted her and see that she is active and deliberately ignoring you. It happens to the best of us.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset That's why the other day I said to you that it goes both ways because I had that in the mail with in 24 hrs not evens 24 hrs. I left her know everything that was going on to. I have good communication with whoever purchased an item from me and this is how she acts! Just A VERY RUDE PERSON. Well dear enjoy this beautiful sunday. Thanks again.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Yeah and her feedback says she a first class posher! Well that's great but a first class posher doesn't just avoid someone and wait days to hit accept button now do they. Basically if its her item she's on top of it if its an item she purchased then its whatever I will get to it whenever I feel like it. Just not cool lol. Well thanks for talking with me I needed that.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 unfortunately posh only shows positive feedback. Negative ones are private for seller to see only. I'm neutral on that because I have received undeserved negative feedback. Some people are impossible to please...
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Hi dear its just me again I know this is a dumb question but do the days start counting at the time it was delivered so say it was delivered at 11:00 am friday woukd the money get released Monday after 11:00 am because that's technically 3 full days of having the item? I just wondered how they count 3 days. Thanks dear sorry to ask another question.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Hi. It's actually on the fourth day at the same time of delivery
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Oh wow that's crazy! Thanks dear once again uour a big help. I truly do appreciate it. :-)
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Hi dear I hate to bother you again but you know so much about poshmark and its nice to have someone to ask questions to. What are you not allowed to sell on poshmark? I'm just wondering if I have something in my closet that's not allowed? I try to follow the rules. Thanks so much. :)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Hi there, how are you? I'm always happy to help and answer questions ๐ Forbidden items include used bras & underwear, used swimwear, used makeup, used wigs, household items, perfumes, furniture or random items not included in the fashion category.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Oh boy . I have perfume listed and someone purchased a bottle I shipped it and she got it. I can take down my other listings of that. I know she opened up a case on this perfume because she doesn't like the smell but its authentic. I guess I'm in trouble. I thought it was ok because so many people have it listed. :-(
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset So what happens now with something like that? I will go take my other listings down. Thank you so much for letting me know this. I should pay closer attention. I purchased a bottle of perfume right after I started on poshmark that's why I thought it was ok.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 As long as you correct it you are fine. Also lotions, body washes, nail polishes, replicas aren't allowed. Because liquids can't be shipped through USPS. It's an innocent mistake. I too made quite a few mistakes when I first joined posh.

@queendivacloset well I just took down the other perfume listings. Thank you so very much for responding to me. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. :-) :-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 No problem. It's too bad because I love fragrances. If posh added ups shipping then perfumes and other prohibited liquids would be OK to buy, but they are exclusively with USPS and they have a partnership that keeps our costs down because shipping used to be $6.99 or $7.99, I forget.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Well I took them down. Idk what they will do with this open case because I shouldn't have sold it nor sent it and she opened the case because she doesn't like the sent of it. So idk what's going to happen. I'm assuming it can't be allowed to come back through the mail so how will I get it you know? Like I said its authentic but I went wrong listing it and sending it. I'm so upset I did that. Wow and so many have perfume listed on here to.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Oh wow shipping was pretty expensive then. Yeah I love perfume & lotions all kinds of stuff lol. Well I made a mistake if they ban me then they do but I really didn't know. I actually purchased 2 bottles of perfume on here 1 of them was white Diamonds and the other I believe was Amarige. I won't do that again for sure. Thanks so much really you have been so incredibly helpful with things.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I recommend that you contact poshmark directly and let them know that you were not aware that selling perfumes we're not allowed and that you have removed them and will not list it again. Add it to the case notes as well as contacting them directly.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Tell them that you just found out today about the policy through another posher.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Ok I will do that right now. Thanks dear.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 You're welcome. I was banned too before. Communicating with customer service and letting them know that you made a mistake won't hurt because they can separate the deliberate rule breakers from the ones who made a mistake and won't repeat it.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset So how long do they ban you for life? I think its not right when someone doesn't know and you see this stuff all over this site. If they ban me for a mistake then I'm finished. I get some people just don't care but I really didn't know. So whatever they decide.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 It's permanent. But if you reach out and let them know, it can make a difference.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I definitely reached out to them so now I will see how they handle this. People are always doing this stuff and it seems like its the honest people who always get the end of the stick. Idk if we both will get into trouble or if its just going to be me. I wish I would have known but I do now and that's what matters.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I think you'll be fine. You've done your part.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I'm sure I will know soon enough. Thanks again with helping me out. We need more people like you on poshmark.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Awe, thank you very much. I appreciate it! ๐๐๐
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Do you know how long they take to review a case? I know California is 3 hrs different than here in Pa. No matter what that was very expensive perfume and Idk if they will allow her to send it back through the mail.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 It varies. They may pay you and refund the buyer or give them posh credit. They'll probably let the buyer keep it but if they do, you'll still get paid.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I doubt posh would cheat you and not give you your money or your item ๐. I've had buyers lie to get their money back and posh refunded buyer and I still got paid. Buyer kept item too.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset well idk how long it takes them to review a case probably a few days. I just can't believe she is saying that the item wasn't as described just because she doesn't like how it smells! How is that my fault you know. What is my fault is listing an item that's not allowed and I will take full responsibility for that but it just blows my mind that's all. Its crazy I never meant you but I wish I did. I would love to have a friend like you. :-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Buyers know how to lie to get their money back. If she commented about it in the comments section screenshot that and add it to your case so poshmark knows it's not your fault she doesn't like it.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Awe, you're so sweet ๐ We can certainly be posh besties ๐๐ฏ
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset did you see it? She clearly says you doesn't like the smell. Oh it doesn't smell like the little bottle she has well for all I know its a knock off or she is full of it. SO I SHOULD SCREEN SHOT THAT AND ADD IT TO THE CASE?
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Yes screenshot that right away and add it so posh knows you described it as is and she simply doesn't like it
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Do you get the same impression she doesn't like how it smells? I screen shot it I'm adding it to my case.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Some buyers know that claiming not as described gets their money back and any other reason they don't get money back because it's clearly stated in policy so they try to cheat by lying. Most honest people just resell it but the desperate ones will lie to get their money .
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I read her comments. I experienced the same when I bought my favorite perfume and it smelled way different but I knew it wasn't the sellers fault because environmental factors such as sunlight or the way it's stored can change the scent. Mines was a 16 year old perfume. I get where buyer is coming from but that doesn't mean it's your fault.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset darn it won't let me put the screen shot on. You must only be able to add pictures if your the buyer. That stinks. Well I hope they look at the listing. You can clearly see everything. As I said she doesn't want it because she doesn't like the smell so I tried to explain my side of this. We can definitely be posh friends. Your awesome! :-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Actually you can. I've uploaded screenshot when a buyer lied and said it didn't fit but filed a not as described case to cheat. Go to case and there should be an option to add photos
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset yeah idk why its not letting me do any pictures. She just commented again. Like I'm serious I have the receipt for it and its not evens 5 months old. I kept this bottle and a few others on my dresser so I really have no clue about what's wrong.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I always thought as long as you kept it in a dry & cool place perfumes were ok. I guess I was wrong lol. I still have mine on my dresser and they smell as they should. I feel bad because I try to be quick and very honest with what I sell because I want the same in return you know. Growing up all I ever heard was treat others the way you want treated and I live by that. I'm a nurse and I go above & beyond for my patients my family & my friends.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Maybe the manufacturer changed the formula. Either way it's not your fault she doesn't like it. You didn't misrepresent your item as she claims. If you're using an apple device it should show. Try using a browser instead of the app or a computer/ laptop and see if the option to upload to your case is there. If not just add a note to the case that she commented that she didn't like it in the comments section of the listing.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset She just said she is waiting for a return label from poshmark so maybe they decided and didn't messag me. Thats strange you would think they would say something to me.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Good for you. We need more people like you in the world because some people choose to be one sided and only wants to be on the receiving end of kindness but don't want to give it out.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 No decision has been made yet she's just super confident that she lied good enough to get posh to side with her.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset yeah I tried with my computer as well its not letting me add pictures. I do believe when I messaged back that she is saying its the smell she doesn't like. Idk she just said its a fav of hers she knows. I'm not going to respond to anymore of messages on here.I truly believe that I did what I was supposed to and she doesn't like the smell so its my fault. Poshmark can sort it out. I just wish I would have known before hand its not allowed.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 You can also block her if you choose. Don't let it bother you though. It will all work out. I'm pretty sure of it ๐๐๐พ๐
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset if poshmark can't see that its authentic and its the color it should be and I was clear in the description then idk lol. Maybe my Monday I will know. I thought maybe they said something to her and not to me and that's why she said she was waiting for a return label lol.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Thanks a million for helping me through all this. I truly am very grateful. Its not everyday or very often you find someone like yourself. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD & ON THIS SITE!!!
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Poshmark will update the buyer and seller. If they were sending her a label they would email you too and let you know. If they didn't then she's just being cocky thinking she's returning it.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Thanks a lot. I'm glad to help whenever I can. ๐๐
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset well she must be very convenient. I know she has been on this site a lot longer than I have so idk if she knew you weren't allowed to purchase items like that or not but she wasn't about to tell me seeing how she wanted to purchase it. I'm glad I won't ever have to go through this again because of a bottle of perfume. Lesson well learned.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 She seems familiar with the rules. Maybe she's become a pro at posh returns and knows how to work the system. Either way you'll be just fine. You won't be empty handed when the case is resolved. You can always sell forbidden items locally or on other platforms.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Your very welcome dear. I meant what I said. I'm sure many of people on this site could learn a lot from you. I know I sure have.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset your right she sure does seem to know the way things work. Maybe she has done it before. I'm sure she knew it wasn't allowed and didn't care because I looked at other items she has purchased and she purchased perfume before. Its funny because she seems to like Chanel a lot.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I checked out her profile and you're right about her buying fragrances and Chanel. I have perfumes that are vintage and over 20 years old and still smell fantastic. The alcohol in fragrances keep them fresh. Not sure what makes her an expert but she thinks she is. You can't please them all.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset no you can't! We will see what happens. Posh will probably favor her side.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Well dear I have been bothering you for a couple hrs now and as I said I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me and help me with questions about poshmark rules and just overall talking to me. Its late and I don't want to keep taking up your time. I'm sure you could be doing better things than listening to my crap lol. I will definitely let you know what happens when they let me know.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I hope you enjoy the rest of the night what's actually left of it that is lol. I probably won't here from poshmark until Monday because they probably don't work over the weekend. I'm going to try & enjoy the rest of the weekend & I hope you can as well. :-) Thanks again for EVERYTHING! !!
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Thanks. You have a great evening as well. Enjoy your weekend! ๐๐
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Hi dear I have a quick question maybe you will know if I want poshmark to put my money in my bank account how long does that usually take them? Like I have money on here I can use right now if I wanted to. I still haven't heard anything about the other stuff yet but I was just wondering because its not just a few bucks you know. Thanks dear.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Mines usually post within 2 business days. Sometimes 1 day if I transfer it in the morning.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset Good Evening dear, I heard back from poshmark today after 3:00 but atleast finally I did lol. Basically what you said is what happened. They gave me the money for the item. I'm assuming that they also refunded her and she kept it :-/ well I just wanted to let you know and that it all worked out as you said it would. Thanks again :) have a wonderful night.... ;-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Awesome! Thanks for the update. I'm glad you got your money ๐๐พ You have a great evening also. ๐๐

@queendivacloset Good afternoon dear I have another quick question how do you put NOT FOR SALE on a listing without changing the price to 0 ? I can't seem to figure this out. I was hoping you might know lol. Thanks dear. I didn't want to ask but I thought you might know. :)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Hi. You select the not for sale option and leave the price as you want it and select save/ update.
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset I wonder why I don't see that option? My phone works with this app. Where is it at on the page? What type of phone do you have?
fitzwater79
@queendivacloset lol I figured it out. Thanks so much dear. I appreciate it very much. I was looking through your closet and you do have beautiful items. :-)
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 I use iPhone 6 and android. You go to the item and select edit. The options should be at the bottom. It's the same on both phones.
queendivacloset
@fitzwater79 Thank you ๐๐๐

@curveadvocate I'm not supportive of the negative comments made by the other user towards you. That was uncalled for and I don't support drama. She has been blocked.
ssroark
Does this mean if we have a bad experience with someone we're not supposed to post a bad review? So far all of my experiences have been good. But it makes me cautious about buying now. I did get one delivery that smelled but a quick wash fixed that. But if the item is not as it appears or is damaged in some way or if it takes a long time to get the item...then are we not allowed to post a bad review of that posher?
queendivacloset
@ssroark Hi. I'm not saying lie and avoid negative feedback. If your experience is bad then writing a review expressing that is appropriate however there are times when when a seller has made every effort to make your experience positive but may have overlooked a small detail that doesn't deserve a harsh review. I received a dress that smelled like armpits but I expect to wash any second hand item and she was super sweet to me so I felt she deserved 5 stars.
queendivacloset
@ssroark One buyer left me a low rating because she felt my photos that I took were too good or deceptive and that I made the designer dress look better than it was according to her. I don't know what I could have possibly done to please her. I took accurate photos, shipped her dress fast with a thank you note, gift wrapped it, and still got a low rating. In that case I felt it was unfair.
queendivacloset
@ssroark Sometimes you have to look at the intentions and effort. If there is a major issue with the item you purchased then contacting poshmark is appropriate to help resolve your issue.
ssroark
I just got my latest delivery. It's going bad. The sizes aren't what was advertised so I'm stuck with them. I won't get my money back on them. Not even in resale. It's a shame.
queendivacloset
@ssroark You can file a claim with poshmark and take photos of the wrong sizes. They will refund you if an item is not as described but you have to contact them before you accept it

I've just read this whole list and am showing it to a friend who's on here, but seems to just catch the bad apples. I signed up a few months ago and have nothing on my page but my pug's pic. I broke my foot soon after and haven't been able to get the pics done to list anything. But I will. So far, I just "BUY." This
has been so helpful to me, because you daily see rules broken and it gets confusing when
you're trying to learn all of it . Thank you for all your help in mentoring us newbies. ๐

<about to go over my 500.๐ฑ> I just have one more thing to say. I know it's too late for @queendivacloset to run for President, but wouldn't it have made a decision easier? You treat everyone with kindness, grace and respect that everyone deserves until they prove otherwise. Thank you for following my empty page and maybe in 2020 we can do something about the presidential thing! Take care. You are one of the precious ones!๐๐น

@jerancesca I see she relisted the jacket but I think she's totally taking advantage after she read your comments about you willing to pay more.
queendivacloset
@jerancesca She only paid $25 but lists it at $80. The tag price isn't even that much...
queendivacloset
@jerancesca Oops. Sorry. I just now saw your convo with her so nevermind the above ๐๐๐comments. At first it looked like she was taking advantage but I see you offered her the higher price so my bad.๐ ๐ Enjoy the jacket. It's a very nice crop trench. ๐
jerancesca
Queendiva you are an angel - Thank you so much for looking out for me! Yes, i did offer her that amount,, i found another one of those jackets on Poshmark *in her size* for $74 and figured offering to buy hers for that amount so that she could get one she is hapoy with is: a) the nice thing to do and b) probably my best shot at getting her to sell me the jacket....
jerancesca
i know i may have had some room to negotiate a better price, but she does appear to be interested in buying the other jacket i found in her size (time will tell). This way everyones happy. I cant tell you how much i regret not buying from you when i had the chance ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ. Your kindness has left a lasting impression on me - i am going to find something in your closet to purchase as a huge thank you!!!
