Hi ladies! Anyone else notice the fee increase today? NOT happy! Ugh!
CEO and Founder Manish Chandra needs to know how we feel! Was there an announcement or an email alerting poshers?

Boo :-(
kamchotka
@little_thing Ugh! Huge increase thrown on us on top of their 20% fees. Crazy! ๐ฒ
suegrantmarsh
Urghhhh. I didn't see this until now. That will likely change things quite a bit. ๐ต๐ฅ๐

@kamchotka thank you for tagging me but I'd like to opt out ๐
kamchotka
@summer2012 Opt out?
kamchotka
@summer2012 Just alerting all my fav poshers about the change.
snc1994
Wow this makes me sad, wont be buying as much now
girlygirlswag
I noticed this when I signed in for tonight's party. I am a little sad and praying that it doesn't effect how poshers shop ๐ค
kamchotka
@snc1994 I know! So bummed ๐
lschwan722
Ugh I did not know about this! Thanks for the heads up lady :)
nkasica
Thanks for the heads up! The shipping is crazy! Who wants to pay almost $6 in shipping for one item of clothing??
summer2012
@kamchotka thanks

kamchotka
@nkasica Agreed, especially if it's small. First class gets it there cheaper and faster!
snc1994
@kamchotka maybe if they get enough negative feedback/sales decrease it will change?

kamchotka
@snc1994 The postal service fees went up so they negotiated a cheaper rate for us, but it's still a lot ๐ซ
ireeniec
@kamchotka I didn't get anything I found out by accident, ugh it's so high!
ireeniec
It's going to make selling a nightmare and I'll definitely not be buying as much ugh @kamchotka
kace_face
Oh man! I thought the shipping was too expensive to begin with ๐ณ hopefully this doesn't negatively affect our sales. ๐ฐ Thank you for the heads up!! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
megger
@calimom @joannegl Did you guys know about this increase? I didn't even get an email. I guarantee you that sales will decrease.
kamchotka
@megger ๐ฒ๐ Unfortunate.
caligyrl1972
I believe since the shipping rates went up, there fees should go down to 15% or 10% to make it worth it!! IJS!!
1fabfind
Not to mention that they have stopped offering shipping discounts all together! When they had .99 shipping costs, I was shipping out 10-15 items PER DAY! They really need to reevaluate this.
megger
Very!
kamchotka
@caligyrl1972 Not a bad idea!
kamchotka
@a_fleming21 Really?!? Noooooo ๐ฑ
1fabfind
@kamchotka they use to offer .99 shipping on many Saturday's last year for price drops by 10%.. And sometimes 2.99 shipping on orders of $30-$50.. Such a mega bummer! We're they not even going to send out an app wide notice about this!? Maybe they thought no one would notice! Ha! ๐๐๐
kamchotka
@a_fleming21 Hey girl. I saw someone's tweet to the CEO about it tonight which is how I saw it! Manish Chandra, @marrc - don't think he cares thhough ๐
afstoto
I had no idea! ๐ณ Good to know!
Thanks for the tag. ๐
kamchotka
@afstoto You got it! ๐
feministfox
@lucky7bohogirl
feministfox
They should change it to first class :/ most items would only take $2-$3 to ship, depending on the weight
genieklein
@kamchotka oh yuck!!!!๐ฉ
hippiechick0411
@kamchotka thanks for the heads up! I can't say I'm shocked by this having sold via other platforms in the past. Priority starts at 5.95 and goes up for each pound. I've always wondered how they've offered a 5 lb label for $5. ๐ณ still a bummer though ๐ฉ
kamchotka
@merlinfanatic77 I know! Good idea! ๐๐
groovycouture
Thank you . I think we should have been notified.
kjseide
My phone isn't letting me comment! Ive been trying forever now. Haha. I'm so mad about the increase! I'm also mad they didn't make more of an announcement or send out an email. I usually don't read those little messages always! Maybe this will help me cut off the amount of shopping I do on here haha
kamchotka
@groovycouture Agreed! @marrc
kamchotka
@kjseide It has definitely impacted my shopping. For an 8$ pair of earrings, I'd rather go first class ๐ซ
kjseide
For sure! It doesn't seem worth it for some things. Plus first class sometimes is even faster these days. It stinks they can't just give an option.
calimom
I had no idea! @joannegl @megger
joannegl
@megger @calimom No! I knew nothing about this either -would've been nice to let us all know ๐
fabfliplady
I'm so mad about this!!!
calimom
I'm certainly going to reduce my buying just on principle @megger @joannegl
fabfliplady
There is a flag announcement on newsfeed, that's it. It's a huge hike, 95 cents. GREEDY
kamchotka
@misstylish Saw the little message after the hike :-(
fabfliplady
Everyone can send an email protesting via the support center. I just did.
kamchotka
@misstylish I tweeted Manish Chandra, the CEO @marrc
fabfliplady
Will do same, thanks
joannegl
@calimom @megger I agree with above comment -maybe reduce their fees to 15-18%?
calimom
Poshmark support and Manish is going to respond to our boycotting, tweets and anger by saying, "Poshmark does not make money on shipping fees. This rate hike is simply a cost of doing business. We negotiated the best rate possible with the USPS. We are not pleased about this either however, we thank you for your continued support." Blah, blah, blah...
@joannegl @megger
chrissy2707
After I saw this I looked into the other selling app, and it seems that their shipping is super complicated. I was going to cross-list to "show them", but now I'm all confused! What a huge disappointment. Who's going to pay $6 shipping for a $10 top! I don't even want to pay $6 for a $50 top!!!
joannegl
@calimom of course they won't offer to do anything to compensate -not surprised - I'm sure they will feel the effects in their pocket when buyers will think twice about ordering
calimom
Yep. I hope buyers will stop buying too. There is far too much competition out there. Many offer free shipping. Manish is just greedy @joannegl @megger
joannegl
@calimom @megger I agreee but makes me sad to think of not buying/selling on posh. Where else would you go? I don't know of any similar sites with this string community -any suggestions?
calimom
I think the execs know that this app has such a great community...one like no other. That's one of the reasons people stay. I don't know of another where you can build quite the same network/friends. All others just seem to be businrss. @joannegl @megger
joannegl
@calimom I know- they must realize how tight a community it is here so they are being greedy.
calimom
Yep @megger @joannegl
emilyyann97
So mad about this
luckydl
@kamchotka I have the feeling that the increase in shipping costs was an invitation for lowballers. Is it only me or does anybody else get hit by an inrease of lowball offers since the shipping went up?
su_ma_su
This is crazy! Who can afford to pay almost 6 bucks for shipping on one item of clothing? On top of that, they are still charging 20% fees...they need to understand, without us Poshers, who are the sellers as well as the buyers, there will be no Poshmark. I used to buy things all the time here, now I am really reevaluating whether it's worth it
kamchotka
@luckydl Yep - I did too.
karismcharms
I think in the line of small items such as jewelry, Poshmark may need to consider providing first class shipping with tracking for items that weight less than 13 ounces. It is that simple. There are shipping sites providing first class shipping labels WITH TRACKING. Poshmark needs to provide an option for small light weight items at a reduce shipping cost. If you buy an item for $5 dollar why will you pay $5.95 for shipping?
sarrafabulous
Time to petition? Or do we all send emails and flood their inbox with our concerns?
I was always annoyed with the percentage they took from OUR items. And now they wanna make us pay even more. ๐ก
kakesey
Now itโs 7.99!
I wrote to say if they consider reducing 20% fee- highest in this kinds-De pop, Met cari, 10% and vinte-d zero fee. While they are reducing the fees or coming up with extra small packages for jewelries, Posh is increasing S/H again...
kakesey
and today, in the light of COVID- CEO Manish Chandra sent us a letter- still no sign of reducing their fees, but just adding silly useless features to pacify our frustrations.
Itโs rather upsetting. How can he write such senseless thing to us when itโs so obvious what he should be doing? They can reduce the darn fee to 10-15% at least and give us better shipping options. 7.99 for small jewelries or light items are just too ridiculous.. sigh..
kamchotka
@karismcharms Agreed!
kamchotka
@sarrafabulous Yep!
kamchotka
@kakesey I know. It's bad. I'm going to end up linking my profile to my own online store.
kakesey
@kamchotka yes while Posh is great in many aspects, Iโm starting to move my things to other apps.
Hopefully Manish hears us out. I personally could care less about videos or any of the features he mentioned in his letter today.. I wrote to him on his account- I wonder if that ever happens.. ๐คทโโ๏ธโจ๐ค
