Listing items under brands that your item is NOT
-"for exposure or views"
-"because of similarity"
-because your item is unbranded, wholesale, or boutique
-any other reason...
is not okay! It's against Poshmark Policy (Poshmark can suspend or remove your account for this) and undermines properly labeled listings.
If your item is unbranded, wholesale, or boutique, just list it that way.

If these listings also bother you, remember to report them as "designer replicas" and poshmark will eventually review it.

WHAT YOU SAID!! &PLEASE everyone report if you suspect! It's not fair to us that are looking for a specific brand and it's not fair to those of us that sell items that aren't that brand but follow the rules!! It's definitely not fair to anybody that gets tricked!!!
katlynw02
@loopholer I seriously end up reporting like 500 things a day. It feels that way at least. There are whole closets that not a single item is the brand listed!
loopholer
And privately I'll tell you my feelings about that but it really sucks for me because it's Leslie jewelry and I've really noticed that the past couple months and I've not been here that long and it's upsetting and a lot of people don't understand what's upsetting

Hi - thanks for your question on my page. I had to google which dress that was by Athleta, and in my search results were lots on that major bidding site that rhymes with me pay. I think it's just a matter of waiting for the right size and color. The other major competitor to this site, M, might also have some and it's super easy to refine your search on that one. Good luck!
maddagirl
What size and color are you looking for and I'll keep my eyes open for you.
katlynw02
@maddagirl Thank you so much for your response! I'm looking for the fuschia or orange color in medium (regular or petite) I've been keeping my eye on the "pay" page but don't use m.

It drives me crazy when ppl do that!!!
megeliza11
Oh my gosh thank you!! These things drive me craaaaazy. And some people post like 50 chokers in a row under Free People. Drives me nuts! Lol
katlynw02
@megeliza11 I can't even tell you how much time I spend reporting all of those. The chokers are the worst!
megeliza11
Hahahaha I KNOW. It's like a black tie around someone's neck. That's honestly not even Free People's style really !!!!!
katlynw02
@megeliza11 Exactly.
megeliza11
There is a hair straightener listed under FP that just came up under price drop! I cannot take it. I wish if a certain number of people hit report then it deactivated the listing right away. There's so many! Thought you'd enjoy hearing that, haha ;)
happymeals
AMEN!! OMG drives me nuts!! I've seen TOYS on here listed as "Free People"

@katlynw02
Thank you💞 I follow over 2 Million Closets & just 4 a few hrs doing shares I saw over 200 listings doing this! I kept a tally of each time I saw it. I will not go into naming names here, but it felt an inappropriate thing 2B doing? There's so much of it going on? I thought Poshmark allowed it? Thank You 4 clarificaton & answering an uncertainty 4 me!

Hey, if I bought something from someone that was mislabeled, but then noticed it says “similar to” in the comments, is it possible to have Poshmark cancel it before it’s sent out? Or be able to return it if it is sent? Some girl did this to me and now she won’t cancel or give me a clear answer if she’s still going to ship. I neutrally asked her to cancel because it was misbranded and she was so hostile. So now she’s making my wait a week until the grace period ends for me to cancel 🙄
bethylin94
Idk what to do but I just saw this listing and wondering if anyone knows?
katlynw02
@bethylin94 I would contact poshmark, replica sales are not allowed
bethylin94
@katlynw02 okay thank you! i’m not sure if it was a replica of anything, I didn’t recognize the item but it was listed as “Free People” but turned out not to be. I sent an inquiry to posh, I seriously hope they get rid of it 😭 anyone else who comes across this learn from my mistake
katlynw02
@bethylin94 It's a violation to list items that way. I hope they sort it out for you quickly and painlessly, best of luck!

And how do you report when people are selling USED makeup?? This is driving me nuts because it is forbidden AND disgusting. I hate searching and have to wade through a bunch of gross used items - especially eye palettes. Help!!
katlynw02
@lisa_edwards_tx oh, I know, I spend endless amounts of time reporting them. Besides not being allowed, it is impossible to completely sterilize used makeup without destroying it in an autoclave. Even less acceptable during a pandemic!! If you go to the upper right hand corner, report and then select unauthorized item-other. Eventually they get reviewed but it is extremely frustrating
katlynw02
@lisa_edwards_tx oops, unsupported item not unauthorized item
louandmaisy
@katlynw02 thank you. I’m fairly new to selling on posh but have been buying for a while. I will start reporting them when I’m doing a search. I’m also super careful about my brands and seeing stuff that should not be on here hurts legitimate sellers. Thanks for putting the info up!🧐
louandmaisy
@katlynw02 and thank you for all the shares of my closet. 🥰
katlynw02
@lisa_edwards_tx no problem! Also, let me know if you want to bundle any of your likes ❤
louandmaisy
@katlynw02 thank you. I have to pace myself so I think the palette is enough splurge on myself today. Lol. But I will check back with you soon.
katlynw02
@lisa_edwards_tx haha no worries I know exactly how that goes, especially with all the holiday collections coming out. My alarm is already set for Pat McGrath tomorrow 🤦♀️
louandmaisy
@katlynw02 I know. I’m in so much trouble with makeup - such a weakness. Hope you get everything on your wishlist tomorrow! 😎
katlynw02
@lisa_edwards_tx thank you! Have a great night!
brimarie1181
Yes! Thank you! I Can’t stand when sellers list all their brands under a listing essentially forcing you to look at unrelated items they are selling!
kathaqua
People will stop coming to Poshmark to shop if they can’t find what they want due to all the brands being mislabeled. I have seen target brand tagged as brandy Melville and other brands tagged as target. It’s like people don’t like the brand they are selling so they just assign it a random brand. It’s so wrong and doesn’t help anyone!
ehlibs2939
Does Poshmark usually help with the reports? I’ve reported this one closet (she’s posted her entire closet with comments tagging for visibility). She reshares her entire closet (100s of items) every day and what I’m trying to sell is never visible unless I reshare it constantly. It’s been 24 hours and she’s still active :/
katlynw02
@ehlibs2939 unfortunately it can be slow going :( I can't even tell you how much time I spend reporting listings like that. They do get reviewed eventually but the timeline is uncertain. I'm really hoping eventually the process will go faster!
ehlibs2939
@katlynw02 thanks so much! That’s too bad it’s slow going. She’s taking so many sales and visibility away from those of us actually selling the brand. It’s so bad they might take her whole account down lol. Thanks so much for the reply and I’m glad someone made this post!
mandaluvscoe
@erikahernand804 actually it’s their number one rule - no replicas can’t use the brand name, can’t tag it as the brand, just “Fashion” cannot use word inspired. Not sure what you read. But if you say so.
wildfreesoul27
@ehlibs2939 same! I actually purchased a purse from this one seller, and before purchasing in the comments i asked if it was the correct brand. My comment was deleted 2x (because the first time I thought it was some type of computer error). I then looked at a bunch of her other items and everything is mislabeled with brand that are familiar. When I did an image search, the item was from Alibaba , not Anthropologie. I hope Poshmark checks into this
