I'm begging you to use common sense before you place an offer. Do not place an offer that is not even close to the price of the item. If I lower items to a certain amount and you receive an email from poshmark that is likely my lowest, do not offer me half of the items selling price. We are all trying to get something back out of items we do not use, I believe that I price my items fair and I'm willing to work with every one. Let's respect each other's time☺️

@lamariela2012 You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!! I don't understand some people. It's happened to me numerous times just like you described & it's wrong!!! Poshmark is not a yard sale where everything's $1 each. Well said on your part!!!
miloandzoesnest
@nc7teech I know I'm not the only one going through this. I spend half of my day trying to make a sale because this helps me pay the bills and have a little extra cash, so when I see an OFFER being place I really consider it. But sometimes people have no shame seriously, I truly feel like crying.
nc7teech
@lamariela2012 I completely understand. I'm in similar situation myself & it's a lot of work to get the sales you need for paying bills.
krisclayfree
Amen!!! Low balling is ridiculous.
shimmer11
It makes me sad that people have to be told this. How is this not common sense?
miloandzoesnest
@shimmer11 crazy this world we live on😖 people only look after their own benefits but do not think of others. They want to be treated with respect, yet they can be disrespectful to others and if you beg to differ, you are intolerant😔
shimmer11
True that. I'm so overly concerned with being respectful to others that I actually talk myself out of making offers. I feel it is the ultimate respect to just pay the asking price. It was priced that way for a reason, why would you try to price it for your sole benefit? If you want the item, pay what's on the price tag. That's just my 2 cents though :)
miloandzoesnest
@shimmer11 I usually consider all offers, as my goal is to make a sale and get rid of items I no longer need. But there is always offers where I ask myself, really??? I just know that if I'm no where near their asking price I don't make an offer.
americanhoney2
Lol I just had some girl offer me $50 for a pair of AUTHENTIC Louis Vuitton heels that have never been worn. 😂
miloandzoesnest
@americanhoney2 seriously, some people think this is a swap meet😖 I bought my first Louis Vuitton purse here, I saved the money I made from every sale for about 5 months. Never did I thought of offering the girl less than her asking price. Because I believe that everyone works hard for their items!
landrifter
Seriously!!!!

@landrifter 😖
hurdkb
😍love your gentle way of saying how some ladies don't think of others feelings when making a low offer. I don't think most of them would appreciate a low ball offer either😍
miloandzoesnest
@hurdkb I usually say nothing because I fear people's reactions. But sometimes for your own sanity, you have to find a way to say something😖
caiteliza
Your prices are so reasonable do that's silly that people would offer so low!
miloandzoesnest
@caiteliza Thank you for being considerate, I get $4 offers for some of my items and believe me they are not the ones I have for $6. They are $20+ items.
caiteliza
That's frustrating :/

I had someone offer my 20$ for a listing I have listed at 125$
miloandzoesnest
@calibae123 it happens to me daily, so I thought if I put this listing at the top of my closet it might help. But it still happens☺️
calibae123
@lamariela2012 honestly I've started getting an attitude about it

@calibae123 I don't blame you girl😖

You are so right! Thx for posting this!

Hey! Check out my closet!✨
theoandco
On my old account I wouldn't decline, I would just counter them with the price I already had it listed for. 😂
miloandzoesnest
@theoandco I would do the same at the beginning, but when they offer $4 for a $30 item I know they are not even close to my asking price & most likely they are not willing to pay anymore. It is kind of frustrating at some points😖

@lamariela2012 I feel u gurl.

luna1313
I thought it was just me. People have used bad quality stuff listed for more than what they are offering and it makes me so upset and offended. Apparently I thought of a price before I posted it!
miloandzoesnest
@luna1313 it's happening all the time, I have people asking me what is your lowest continuously. I price my items as low as possible most of the time, so if I give any extra discounts I'm really reducing my earnings, but some people want brand new items for free or under $10 including tax.
lisetnavarro85
I had that happen recently to me and I was so shocked!! She is a suggested user and prices her items high and really low balled me with an offer on one of my items. So upsetting.
miloandzoesnest
@lisetnavarro85 it's ashamed to see suggested users doing it too. I would imagine that they would be a bit more considerate. As a suggested user myself I try to price my items fair and always work with buyers. But there is some people that really want items for free😖
wyldcatgurl
Preach!!

forgottencloth
Completely agree with this! When i make offers i try to see if i can get a couple dollars off to compensate for shipping abd when people make offers for my items its usually below asking price smh.
miloandzoesnest
@xoxoxoclothes ever since I put this listing I get fewer lowball offers. But there is always that one person that wants me to bundle four items for the price of one😖 I seriously don't understand some people.
larksandlace
I finally posted my thoughts on what constitutes a "reasonable" offer in my closet. Was tired of getting less than 50% of asking price offers. So lame 🙈
miloandzoesnest
@raini311 your listing looks great and it sure makes the point clear. Im seriously considering to put this at the end of every listing😊
urbimam
Is there a way to stop that ? Not that my items are expensive but they're already marked down so low and if I go any lower for these girls then I won't make any kind of reasonable earning!
miloandzoesnest
@urbimam I don't think there is a way to stop it. We all seem to consider ourselves in most cases but lack consideration towards others. I don't think people understand that postmark takes 20% off out sales, and that shipping is not charged by sellers.
urbimam
its true! 20% really does make a difference! it sucks. i gottaa toughen up then haha
miloandzoesnest
@urbimam there is offers that I decline, not because I'm not in need of making a sale but because I can't let go an item that I paid $100 for $20. Some people just don't reason at all😖 I still consider every offer, if they are offering me up to 30% off of the items asking price, I'm most likely to say yes.
urbimam
thats exactly what i am going through currently. i put up jeans for 38 dollars..then got offered 25 and its just impossible to make people understand thats not giving me much to earn. oh well! hopefully people read your post and start understanding better.
miloandzoesnest
@urbimam I have gotten less lowball offers, and I'm considering to put a pic on every listing I make as well💕😖
urbimam
what do you mean every listing you make?
miloandzoesnest
@urbimam every time you list an item, you have the option to put 4 pics. I'm thinking of including a pic with reasonable offers information😌 I don't know if it's a good idea!
urbimam
youcould try it on somethings and see how it works out!
miloandzoesnest
@saaraxx Thank you😊
peepsrock
Your absolutely correct!!!
hrjohn
Well said and Agreed! I have had a good many low ball offers! Very frustrating!!

@hrjohn Thank you💕😊 it has helped with lowball offers!

I know what you mean </3
cheriecurrie
As a buyer who hasn't started a Closet yet, I can honestly say that's not fair. Making an offer is not like you're getting "screwed". Some people really💜your items and don't have alot of $. That's why there's an option to make an offer AND to counteroffer. People start low to try and get the best price. You don't have to judge. It's not like they're trying to insult you, they're just hoping you will maybe counteroffer and come to an agreement, just sayin. Consider before jumping to conclusions
miloandzoesnest
@cheriecurrie I understand your point of view, pls note that I do state that u try my best to work with everyone to make the offer option a win win for both parties. This listing is meant for those people that have their closets set with items much more expensive than mine and they are still making really low offers. I'm not judging just stating the obvious. Pls note that most of the time when people place offers I do accept them.
cheriecurrie
@lamariela2012 yeah no, I get that. I think I was making this towards other people on here that r just rude and don't like offers at all. But yeah, people with closets with high posted items do drive me nuts when Ive noticed they not only try and buy for low prices, but they get sooo mad when u try and make an offer and I've even seen them telling people in listings they are blocking them for that or just cuz they decided not to buy! Insane!
miloandzoesnest
@cheriecurrie I truly make the best out of the OFFER button. I think it is such a great tool for sellers and buyers, I also take under consideration that the shipping price people paid for items is a bit high so I try my best to accommodate and really go as low as possible so that everyone gets the most of their $ but some girls are just looking to get items for free.
cheriecurrie
@lamariela2012 no, I agree. I've actually talked about with other girls on here, and it's like there's so many rich girls on here that are so rude. They literally have like 300 items posted but won't consider an offer. I mean, it's their decision to do what they want, but so many are so rude. I feel like if someone is respectful to u and makes a low offer, then hey, consider it.
cheriecurrie
@lamariela2012 I think it's more rude for buyers to waste a sellers time and ask a million questions and have them post a million xtra pics and spend days telling them they want the stuff while the seller holds it, and then they either don't respond at all ever again, or just say nevermind. THAT'S rude...😔
cheriecurrie
@lamariela2012 btw I looked at ur closet real quick and ur stuff is awesome and priced actually really fair 😊
miloandzoesnest
@cheriecurrie I truly love poshmark as it helps me pay for bills and have a little extra cash to spend with my kids. I just wanted people to know that being fair is a must in my closet as I could no longer take $3 offers for items I paid more than $50.
cheriecurrie
@lamariela2012 totally understandable...it's nice to see ur humble and price ur stuff at amounts every person could afford 😊
swankysophistic
Thank you for your honesty! It's rude when I visit other closets have items similar to mine with higher prices, yet they offer me as low as $5 for name brand items. Smh, I just don't get it sometimes. But you do have nice items in your closet and there is nothing wrong with your prices! I wish you continued success with your sales! Happy Poshing dear!
miloandzoesnest
@swankysophistic Thank you, it feels good to know a lot of people relate and that I'm not the only person having this issue. I truly go around trying to find brand new items and if I start reducing them very low is because I need the sales. But some girls mis understand that and they believe it is ok to offer me $3 for some of my items. There is no way to make any profit if you sell an item for that price😖
linzlucas31
I definitely agree with you, I don't even ask for a discount unless it's for shipping or I'm buying 2 or more items
prettyrepeats
@lamariela2012 I am 100% on board on this one! Me and my friend are thinking of ways to stop this kind of behavior without hurting someone's feelings but regardless, people still do what they want to do! I know for a fact that my prices are fair & have a bit of room for negotiation but still instead of getting offers, I get the "lowest low ballers"😢😢😢 Reading your post makes me feel better, knowing that I am not alone💐💐💐😍

May I use this please !!
miloandzoesnest
@marisabondi yes you may💕
sundaypostage
SO true
bunnywabbit
How about those sellers who can't accept an offer at all. I offered $24 to a $25 item and she counteroffer the same amount she's selling! 😂👊🏻
miloandzoesnest
@bunnywabbit I have no idea why wouldn't she accept a $1 difference. Maybe $25 is her lowest, I would honestly not be able to answer for her😖. I have some listing that say price is firm unless if bundle! But this is meant for the girls that see a $25 item and offer $5 for it, believe it or not I have gotten similar offers.
bunnywabbit
Oh I totally agree as I have been low balled before as well!
miloandzoesnest
@bunnywabbit every seller/buyer is their own world😊 but some buyers go beyond a nice discount and they want the items free. I get it shipping is a bit expensive but I do not get any money from the shipping. Other than that I love my buyers and sometimes I'm willing to cover shipping fees for them😄
ohshitamy
In all fairness, I think the true issue here is the HUGE chunk that Poshmark receives as the middle man. Frankly, while I'm glad they don't advertise on the site/ app. I'm surprised as that would offset their costs and need to take such a large cut. Also, the fact that the standard shipping is $5 priority shipping no matter what the item is. So while you have an item priced at say $5 it only makes you $3 yet costs the buyer $10. That's a $7 difference.
ohshitamy
Hence bundling is almost necessary. Also, I think that some people (not you or most people who commented on this) but some people just have their items ridiculously overpriced because what they post as the items worth is at their discretion so they post full value price knowing that most of them purchased it for much less.
miloandzoesnest
@ohshitamy As a seller I'm oblige to try and give my buyers the best price I can. I have items that I sell locally in my shop that I have to unfortunately give a bit more expensive here. I try to compensate by giving discounts for shipping. If items are bundle I give 25% OFF which is definitely more than what other SU give.
miloandzoesnest
@ohshitamy I try my best to be fair when pricing items. Unfortunately this post was made as a cry for help, because girls/women thought that it was ok to offer me $10 for an item I paid $200 originally and had either never been worn or gently use.
ohshitamy
Yes, that's definitely a bit excessive. And I took a peak at your closet and you seem to be perfectly fair and reasonable unfortunately this site/ app has a whole broad range of people with all sorts of intentions. Anyway, I hope craziness of that sort stops!
hillyj
@lamariela2012 may I please repost this in my closet?? I agree with your post 1000%!! Some Poshers are so rude when it comes to using that new offer option in this app!!! Thanks for your time!! & Happy Poshing!!!! :)

@hillyj yes you may💕😊

jina123
@lamariela2012
👍🏼. So right.
jenniclifton
I feel you but on the flip side, I offer what I feel the item is worth & the max I'm willing to pay. The seller has the option to decline or counter offer. Some people actually jack up their prices to play the negotiation game. I try to be fair on both accounts but it never hurts to ask : )
elizabethk24
And also don't over price things , if u got it for 40 new and u where it its not new no more so drop the price down like I'm not going to pay $50 for paints or other stuff that have been worn a lot
elizabethk24
Lol :)
miloandzoesnest
@elizabethk24 every posher is their own world. I understand everyone manages their closet differently, I'm more than happy to drop prices most of the time. I believe 100% in pricing items fairly and always negotiating. But when one end wants to take advantage it does make me very upset.
elizabethk24
@lamariela2012 yes I agree , reasonable offer is all I ask lol

burge2001
Thank u for posting this... I feel the same way. This is not a yard sale site. This,site is for good quality, name brand stuff. I get so offended when I am offered a low ball offer. I know all prices can be negotiated but some people lack class when offering. Many of us are not that desperate to sell and will wait for the right person to appreciate the item being sold.
miloandzoesnest
@burge2001 you are very welcome, I couldn't have said it better myself. Everything has a price tag and when I walk into the simplest store @ the mall I usually pay full price. I try to be fair & flexible at all times. Still I have people come into my closet, make very low offers & when I use the decline button they get mad at me. Snap shot the listing and make their on telling people to be aware of me😒😒😒
burge2001
@lamariela2012 that is terrible. I totally can empathize with you. I can't stand bullies. I have dropped full price on all of my jeans too. Obviously the people that make you feel guilty to decline an offensive offering have not felt the pain of paying full price for good quality clothes . Lol. I am so happy to have posh mark, but some people need to re-read the guidelines set to use this site and use good manners.
miloandzoesnest
@motherof2b sometimes I feel like crying, but I have learn that eventually if patient, the right buyer will come and not only will they buy my item for asking price but they will also love the item they receive💕😊
miloandzoesnest
@motherof2b I have been here for 3 years and I'm continuously trying to update my listings. I post sales daily and share my items 3 times daily @ least. Sometimes I accept lower offers if I'm really in need of money but I like to have control for how much I sell my items. If I decide to sell for a low price it is my decision not the buyers making $3 offers.
honeybumpmatern
I decline them too. Good for you!
miloandzoesnest
@honeybumpmatern I usually consider every offer because there is a few people that are truly interested in the item. The rest of them are just trying their luck and a lot of them don't even have a form of payment when they make an offer, which is a waste of time for both of us😔
want2bedesigner
Amen!!!
carmenb123
LOVE THIS!!!! I now immediately block low ballers. I'm just over it.
miloandzoesnest
@carmenb123 Hi, I'm usually open to offers but if the offer is simply too low I decline it immediately, there is no reason for negotiation when the buyer places a $3 offer. I never block as that person can be a future buyer💕😊
taraashton
$5 (or, the $2.05 you actually make) is almost never even worth the gas and time to go to the post office.
miloandzoesnest
@taraashton Tell me about it girl, I usually consider lower offers when I have packages to send out if not I just decline them.
sdotshop
I completely understand! I have been insulted by some "offers" I've received. I don't counter either - just decline. No point going back and forth with someone who offers half or less than half what I'm asking for an item. Stay strong & know your worth 😊😘😉
miloandzoesnest
@summerstar1227 I truly wish poshmark would reconsider the amount they take off a sale. In smaller items it is a huge chunk to take $3 which makes it unfair for the buyers and sellers. I know they are working hard to make it a better app, but it is hard to explain to buyers that if I sell an item for $3 and they have to pay $6 shipping, even thou they are spending $9 I will not get a cent from it😔
rnlee81
@lamariela2012 Amen to that...some ladies don't think about the time we invest in packing and driving to the post office,not to mention we follow poshmark rules,we make our packages nice..the materials we use is money....so aside from the price respect our efforts....I hate lowballers. it's actually pretty disgusting to say the least
miloandzoesnest
@rnlee81 I'm all up for offers but some offers truly make me want to cry😢
bella67
@lamariela2012 Amen,its so true ;)
owlfreak123
Yes!!! I had something brand new with tags and someone offered me less than half price for it!! I'm sorry but absolutely not I can't stand that!!! It's rude and insulting and hurtful!
miloandzoesnest
@owlfreak123 indeed it is extremely frustrating to me. I had an item that cost $900 retail and got an offer of $25 on it. I didn't know if to cry, scream or pull my hair out from desperation.
rosierosie14
🌼❤As a customer, I'm just learning how to "posh" lol I guess is how you'd say it. Certainly don't mean any disrespect when making an offer possibly too low and if I'm offered a discount that I can't accept... I'm embarrassed to even hit the decline button as I feel like somehow a snootyness has been portrayed of me (which I'm not, just embarrassed lol) I realize that's silly, it's just a phobia at the moment, and just need to let it go and save myself and seller the anxiety.
rosierosie14
"Must control myself amongst all these wonderful treasures!!!" The kid in the candy store mentality yikes! 😂
miloandzoesnest
@rosierosie14 well said, I hardly see myself declining offers. If an offer is not what I expect, I simply counteroffer. But if it is clear that we are a world apart in the offers I usually counter with my lowest. I'm still trying to understand the system myself!
rosierosie14
Completely understandable 🌼 That's really all you can do. Best wishes to everyone!

twinkie68
@lamariela2012 Recently a fellow posher offered me $3 on an item I had listed at $6. I finally settled for $5 on a practically new Venus blouse. Once she received it, she tried to iron it or did something else to damage it, and she ended up getting it for FREE! Poshmark did give me my $2 earnings, but it was so very disappointing.
miloandzoesnest
@twinkie68 That is absolutely insane, I’m often getting low offers so I felt the need to do this. If we settle for low offers is out of need for o make sales not because the items are not worth more☹️
71kar
As a shopper, I seldom make an offer as I have found items almost always as described and certainly worth the amount being requested. I have made a couple of offers for a few ($5 or less) dollars less if I found the same item elsewhere for that amount, but prefer to purchase from Posh. I am saddened that people take advantage of those of you who sell. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase from Poshmark!
miloandzoesnest
@71kar Hello, thank you for your support to Poshmark. I believe this is a great community, in which we have the opportunity not only to sell but to buy items we want/need at a great price. As a seller I try to consider the value of my items and price accordingly. However there is always that person that considers they should pay less. I completely understand buyers as I am one, but if they are sellers and their items are price way higher than mine, I just can’t understand their logic.
miloandzoesnest
@ohhsusanaa it happens to me all the time, sometimes I’m not in the mood and I make post like this hoping they will catch a glimpse of it before they make the mistake of making an offer. But I guess they dont😢
kriisspiiss
I know it’s soo crazy! I never make an offer thats less that 1/2 of what they have it listed for.
miloandzoesnest
@kriisspiiss as a buyer I understand, everyone is trying to get the best deal. But as a seller it’s kind of annoying. I’m not sure why the system has not been able to catch up with it and make a feature where buyers don’t abuse the offer system😊.
kriisspiiss
@lamariela2012 exactly!! They have that on Ⓜ️ercari, but not posh ):
miloandzoesnest
@kriisspiiss oh that’s cool, every now and than I make my own post hoping low ballers will catch the post prior to making an offer but I deal with this on a daily basis🙃.
mtnwanderer
@lamariela2012 it’s such a waste of our time as sellers to deal with rude buyers. I was selling a brand new pair of chacos listed at $80. This girl offered $20. I declined. She continued to make more offers and I finally accepted her offer of $55 (which was still a lowball offer in my opinion but I had bills due that week and need some extra cash) about 10 minutes after I accepted her offer she canceled the order! I was just so curious as to what possibly made her want to waste both of our time?
miloandzoesnest
@mtnwanderer sometimes it’s so frustrating and yes just because bills need to be paid most of us accept lower offers. I believe poshmark should work on a feature where buyers are only able to make an offer no lower than the sellers bundle discount. It would definitely help out🙌🏻.
mtnwanderer
@lamariela2012 that’s such a good idea!
miloandzoesnest
@mtnwanderer yeah but I hardly doubt they will, they are trying to get the sales going even if it means screwing up the sellers profit margin.
cindyrellaanaiz
I totally understand when you’re shopping on a budget but some people are so ridiculous first off I put a literally good condition spartina bucket bag! Yes I accept offers reasonable ones but this lady offered me 16 !!! For my listing of 80 I think it is I could go low no problem but people take advantage !! She can even get a wallet from spartina 449 for 16
miloandzoesnest
@cindyrellaanaiz I totally understand you😭... Soo frustrating!
shannon_oliver
Don’t ever feel bad for declining ridiculous offers darling! I think the lowest I’ve ever offered was $3 off of a $30 item. I usually don’t even offer less unless I’m bundling orders. People know better they’re just taking haggling to the next level. Just laugh and decline!😃❤️
jlwoydziak
@shannon_oliver I had the same $3 offer before! Umm, that means we earn $0.05!! It’s not worth the time, effort, and trees to pack and ship that package!! I tell them I may add In that item for free if they bundle it with more items. So frustrating!
miloandzoesnest
@jlwoydziak so cringeworthy every time. The only time it frustrates me is when it comes from sellers. To the new girls I don’t mind explaining how the system works but sellers 🤨😅.
mwolf348
My favorite is also when people bundle a bunch of things and have no intention to buy! It happens to me all of the time

😭😭😭 I agree!!
miloandzoesnest
@ladylux_2010 Truly sad sometimes 😅
chellbellaa
Yessss girl!!! I flat out say in ALL of my listings that I automatically decline low ball offers and that I only accept/consider reasonable ones. I hate people who low ball you. I wish Poshmark would implement something to prevent that like M ercari does.
miloandzoesnest
@chellbellaa I honestly don’t take the time to respond back to offers 50% off asking price. I simply declined them and save myself the headache and anger 😂😭. I totally agree, they should do it but for some reason they haven’t acted on it 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️!
dilemmanem
Thank you for making this post! I feel so disrespected when I get these kind of offers. Most of my listings also have discounted shipping which takes away from my sales. It’s not someone I want to do business with.
