Do you have closet pet peeves when looking through other poshers closets? I DO! Here are some of mine I just have to get off my chest.... 1) closets that have crazy unnecessary items that AREN'T allowed; like Crockpots (yes, I've seen it!), cell phones, etc. 2) pictures that are so dark you can't see details 3) pictures that have SO MUCH stuff in the background you can't tell the leopard shirt from the fireplace, the vase & picture frame! 4) items in front of loose, sloppy hanging white sheet.

List some of your pet peeves. If you see any in my closet, please share so I can clean up and freshen my closet! 👍🏼 We could all use a little help sometimes. 🙌🏼 Thanks poshers! Happy poshing! 😍
haleyamccall
Not putting any description that is helpful in any way. And then not responding when questions are asked. 👎
jujus_fashion
@haleyamccall oh yes, Amen to those too!
sarahhonore
Listing items under the wrong brand name. 😭😭😭
jujus_fashion
@sarahhonore uh oh. I haven't seen any of those yet! I see how that can be annoying.
blairbcutie
Buying things to sell at a gazillion dollar markup. Like $25 leggings for $150 or more. Idc how rare they are. What in the actual freak!?
jujus_fashion
@blairbcutie oh gosh! No, thank you. Lol.
blairbcutie
@wildroses1 so dumb. I never say anything either but last week, this girl broke me. she's selling LLR "unicorns" for 150. Some more, some a little less, but this pair 150...and in her post she said no low balling..I couldn't handle it. I was like "no low balling...? On $25 leggings that you want $150 for?" Haha She said she reported me and some other girl already got kicked off...I was like, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get kicked off for that. It wasn't that bad..but seriously!
kisskissesstyle
Definitely when someone posts their picture headliner as "shoes" "shirt" "a different shirt" and, as I have already exposed my pet peeves as well, I am a stickler for grammar. Spell check should only let you write sequence once and not for every sequin piece you own. I'm not saying that their are not learning disabilities, as I have many issues myself, but half of Poshers should not be doing this. But yes I definitely make word errors myself.
kisskissesstyle
I think it is really when someone is selling a couture sequence dress for 1k or more. Nope. Wait, one more, when people ask me about my Betsey collection and every Betsey item they have in their collection is labeled, "Betsy." Yes I also believe my PMS is getting the best of me. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
jujus_fashion
Hahaha @kisskisses it's okay. That's why I had to make a pet peeve listing for people to get things off their chest. 😤
lmshaker
Oh these are soooo good. Wait. Can I ask a question??? If I share an item from a posh party, do I share it back to the posh party of my followers? I'm afraid I'm doing it wrong and I'm getting silently judged. I looked if I could find answers on google but I couldn't!!!!! Help me out lol
jujus_fashion
@lmshaker LOL. No girl you can whatever you want and share it wherever! But if your sharing from the party, I'd share it with followers to get more visibility. Sharing it back in the party is fine too but those people will see it already and you may not have followers in the party so they will see it in their feed! Either way your sharing and people appreciate that. 👍🏼 Have fun.
lmshaker
Hahaha!!! That's sort of what I figured but I really wanted to make sure. Thank you so much for taking the time to ease my woes lolol you're the best xoxox
jujus_fashion
@lmshaker of course! Anytime 😉
lmshaker
I just needed to revisit this because it's mind blowing to me how many people blatantly ignore the rules and posh policies!?!!! I can't with that.
jujus_fashion
@lmshaker AMEN! Sometimes when I've had it, I'll report a listing if I come across one and I've seen enough! 😁 is that terrible..?!?
dani9067
Lmao love it! So true!😁💋💗💞
lavidalocatx
Ppl who sell "barely used" underwear and knockoffs
mariselacortez
My Pet Peeve is Rude people!!! Like seriously..the offer button is a form of negotiating. Its not to "lowball" anyone or anything like that. I just think if I want to buy an item that I Clearly know shouldn't be priced so high..I try to negotiate. I've gotten remarks like "you are so rude" 😒😒 like no dear, I know your item is used and should not be priced at retail price😱😱 lol. I try to stick to positive closets lol 😜
annabels_rose
Coming to my closet to complain and police my prices. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand how some sellers will inflate their prices to a CRAZY amount. I am very thoughtful with my pricing and take so many things into consideration when I price them (as sellers, we all know there are other considerations than just the price we paid for an item). We are here to make money, not lose it.
Thank you, doll! You will actually never know what a blessing it was to find this outlet tonight!😘💓🌸
ewrpmom
@julhamil some of my pet peeves; pics upside down or sideways! Bad grammar! Misleading descriptions, especially wrong sizes, like a 22/24 is not a 22 or when it should be a 24W. I just got stuck with a hoodie that doesn't fit because it's too small & not in the condition as described!!! 😩
seldenallie
The following misspelled/just plain wrong descriptions hurt my head when I see them...
"Sequinced"
"Bondage dress"
"Razorback tank"
"Cow neck sweater"
"High heals"
britbabe648
@seldenallie YES!!!! For the love of God they are SEQUINS! If something has more than one sequin on it then it is a SEQUINED garment! Trying not to be judgemental but I swear, it seems most millenials and younger are simply lazy and ignorant when it comes to spelling, grammar, and writing a coherent sentence.
jujus_fashion
@seldenallie Cow!!🐮🐮 LOL. Too funny.
savyishsupreme
Free VIP Chanel gift 🎁 that are OVER priced. Like come on people you got it for free🤑
___adelia
non compliant items 4 sure. Ive seen freaking video games 4 sale on here lmao. skincare items bug me the most even though those r probably the least offensive overall b/c I have a ton of unused korean sheetmasks that i know i could move easily here but i emailed support 2 make sure it would b kosher (because i want 2 be sure im being absolutely compliant)...and they said it wouldnt. so now im on record being told not 2 sell skincare stuff while having 2 watch others make a killing on theirs :[
___adelia
(sorry for the shorthand - darn character limits!)
jujus_fashion
@___adelia yea I just saw a couch for sale yesterday! Lmao. A freaking couch! Wtf. No mam. 😩
___adelia
@julhamil a couch?! idk how i still manage to be surprised, but i do. tbh i wish pm was more on top of enforcing these things.
lissay
Silly personal pet peeve of mine- it's not sequence, it is sequin or sequined dress. It blows my mind how many people do not know that it is NOT sequence!
gemfox
I have so many lol, to name a few: 1. "Quarter" sleeve instead of 3/4. 2. "Laced" instead of lace; also, not all lace is "crochet". 3. People rudely demanding others to be nice. 4. "Not [brand], tagged for exposure". 5. "Aztec" misnomer. 6. Horribly blurry photo. 7. Liquified/misleading photos. 8. Photos stolen from web (just because they're on the internet doesn't mean you have permission to use them for financial gain). Thanks for letting us vent. Hopefully this is educational for some! ^_^
melonposhmark
When someone gives you a REALLY low offer then you counter back and they just let your offer sit there for 24 hours. Its like just decline it if youre not going to buy it bc youre getting my hopes up lmao. Also ive only been on here for a few months, but is perfume allowed? I read somewhere that it is prohibited because usps cant ship hazardous items. But, i see almost everyone is selling it! Are they just shipping it anyway and not saying what it is?
jujus_fashion
@melonposhmark yes perfume isn't allowed through priority mail but they are probably just putting it in there and packaging it like its an allowed item. The PO can't know once it's inside so I guess people don't care and do it anyway. I'm not sure how that can be patrolled except those poshmark users respecting the rules and reporting items they see that's aren't allowed. There's too many listings for Poshmark to catch them all. Happy poshing!!! 🤗
mollydick
Pet peeve. People that sell empty boxes. No 2. Used makeup. Extremely unsanitary. And shoes and clothing that should be donated. Number 1 is excellent condition except for the hole. Ugh
suzette_tidmore
This seems to be making a negative space, why not talk about the things you love instead?
jujus_fashion
@suzette_tidmore bc sometimes you need to get things off your chest and Its all in good fun. Why don't you make the post about things you love? 👍🏼
qutecloset
I know this post is old but it was still hilarious to read through all these :D
jujus_fashion
@qutecloset isn't it! 😂 Some poshers completely disregard the rules and act as if it's a garage sale. 😆 Also low ballers are often lurking on here!! 👀
qutecloset
@julhamil I admit, if I see something listed as the wrong brand for "exposure", I'll report it. I know some brands get more views obv, but it's not fair to everyone else who correctly label their items! 😡 And I've been on here a few months now and gotten my share of lowballers. I'm all for dropping the price sometimes $10-$15 dollars, but when people ask for like a 70% discount?? Rude!
creativestyle37
People who markup prices. And the free samples of perfume you can get in the store free and ppl try to sell to you on here
shoppala
Diapers-cloth, which might be used? Items I cannot identify because there is too much in the photo. Used bathing suits, it may be ok, but really, it is the same as used underwear. Weird, random things, like pet medication and other extraordinary things. Prices for Express clothes that are higher than Express charges! Whew! That felt good. Thanks for posting this😘😘😘😘 Also, I'm new, so let me know if you see anything awry in my closet!! @shoppala
brendachibi
@blairbcutie I saw this on my news feed and saw your comment. And yeesss!! I sold a pair of lulu leggings for $40 and then the same person that bought the pair is selling it in her closet for $100! And using all of my pictures that I took. Slightly irritated.
blairbcutie
@brendachibi report her for using your pics without permission! She can take her own freaking pictures!
jujus_fashion
@brendachibi oh no. That would bother me too!!!!
brendachibi
@blairbcutie unfortunately she blocked me so I can't make a comment.
blairbcutie
@brendachibi 👋🏻 who is she?! Haha
swing585
This is great. It's nice to know I'm not alone. It drives me absolutely bananas when people don't respond to questions. I want what you are selling but don't want to 7 days just to find out you won't be shipping bc you ignore your closet! Second, is overpricing. It's become a serious problem with lululemon. Numberous people selling USED leggings for well over the retail price. Everything lulu is rare, duh... Thanks for the outlet hun :)
swing585
1 more... buyers that don't accept the order or rate you. They just let it sit for the 3 days and as a seller you have no idea if they liked the item. Okay I'm done complaining
jujus_fashion
@swing585 that totally drives me crazy too! They wanted the item quickly, we want the rate and funds released timely too! They would want that on their end as a seller as well!
lynneconger
@suzette_tidmore Agreed!
lynneconger
Really, you guys need to lighten up! Everyone on here is entited to set whatever price they want - as a seller, when I list I do my homework - check ebay, amazon & Posh for what items acrually sell for.
No one is twisting your arm ro buy - just keep scrolling & be classy, not childish.
My items are mostly NWT, NWOT or Excellent ..I'm here to make $$$ not make someone I don't know a deal.

My biggest Pet Peeve....Trade? Come on are we so used to texting that we can't even say complete sentence now?!?
jujus_fashion
@amylm0309 omg I was getting so sick of getting that comment too. So now, if you look at my listings, EVERY ONE says ❌no trades❌ at the end of description. It helped cut out the annoying comment/question! 👌🏼 if someone decides to still ask and not read, I ignore them.
jujus_fashion
@aggg Uhg oh. I haven't seen those. Not good 😒
southernwisdom
@julhamil I do Trade & that's why I'm sick of it lol.😉🙃🙂
jujus_fashion
@amylm0309 oooohhh. I was always too unsure of others buyers intentions and didn't want to risk it. Does it work out for you?
southernwisdom
Ive done about maybe well let me look
southernwisdom
20 Trades & i just got scammed for my first time but im still not sure if I did or not
jujus_fashion
@amylm0309 oh wow. Yea that's a good amount. Okay I'll look into that other post! Thx
southernwisdom
@julhamil Welcome Girl
bohobabe6479
L.O.V.E this all!!!! 😂 LADIES, if you don't mind can you PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! Since you are only allowed 500 characters per comment I might have to leave a few. Sorry 😬 I've been a Posher for awhile now but not long enough to really understand all this. I've read EVERYTHING that Posh supplies us with but....
1. I didn't know that there are stipulations as to what you can sell on here.... Like @___adelia was talking about. Are you not supposed to sell makeup on here?
bohobabe6479
Cont'd...
2. I'm still so confused as to how Sharing works. I have a lot of great Poshers and items in their closets that I would like to share with the whole world! When I click Share who sees it? My followers? Sorry, I know I sound like an idiot but Poshmark is not the best at explaining things clearly 😳
3. Last one....
bohobabe6479
I read @brendachibi comment about stealing pics from other Poshers and that I totally get but are we not allowed to use original pics, like having your first photo as it appears on Free People but then also ALWAYS add pics of the actual item?
Sorry guys for all the questions but thank you in advance for the help! It is much appreciated! Have a great day guys 🤗😘😊
bohobabe6479
Oh..... and my ABSOLUTE WORST pet peeve is when people list the brand for exposure or even worse when you receive your crappy item that is a cheap knockoff from places like Zaful or SheIn that imitate clothing from Free People and there are NO RETURNS!!!! No, not acceptable!!!!
jujus_fashion
@bohobabe6479 yes sharing other people's items will expose it to your followers. Make up I think is okay as long as it's new unopened. Yes you can use stock from photos from retailers but not okay to steal 'item photos' another posher took themselves. That make since? Hope that helps.
brendachibi
@bohobabe6479 I started using original pics online when other posters would ask me to find the skirt, or top on the website so they can see how it looks on the model before they bought it. However I did find on Poshmark'S blog that you can use the original picture as long as you 1. get permission from the individual 2. Or the company. 3. Mention the owner ....,
brendachibi
3. Mention the owner 4. Tag the owner or provide a link. So for ex. If you used a picture from j crew website, just mention the website or link you found it. Which reminds me, I need to do that with my pictures ☺️.
jujus_fashion
@alih16 hahaha. Nope. That's new-used. 🙄
jujus_fashion
@alih16 but you never know if they're just "fibbing" and they actually used it. I wouldn't trust it. I don't buy make up on here period. Lol. 💁🏼
laceys89
So I definitely have a few of these "peeves" in my closet, and will re-examine them, but honestly if the buyer has questions about an item they are purchasing they should ask (that's why there is a comment section) PoshMark is not my life/job. I do this to get rid of/give back to others who are in need. Not sure how I feel about this post or "Posh-bashing" others. 👎
jujus_fashion
@laceys89 well that's fine too. The system is never perfect like any other app or software. It's not "bashing" others as no one is calling people out or tagging closets. It's just in good fun bc some closets don't follow guidelines and neither do people. Happy poshing! 🎉😁
kmlynski
@kisskisses you made when writing this paragraph! Lol!
kmlynski
@lynneconger this was started as a way of venting their pet peeves on other closets. We aren't giving any posh members identifying information and it's not like anyone really needs to lighten up it's just a good way to say what we are feeling but don't want to be confrontational on someone's site.
kmlynski
My other pet peeve are Poshers that sell items they received as free gifts around the holidays. One posher was selling a tote for $80 which was obtained by buying something from the store and getting the tote for free.
kmlynski
Another posher was selling a canvas bag for $75 again a free gift for buying from the store, it just so happened that I also got the free tote from that year and added to the other gift I had purchased from them. I did leave not so nice messages but they shouldn't lie either it's not right!
kranberii1
1. When people buy limited edition collections from the store *think lilly at target* and mark it up 1000%
2. When people offer me 70% off of my asking price (I am flexible and fair but 70% is too much)
3. When I tell someone in the comments I don't trade and then 3 more people comment asking if I would trade with them
mv777
😟Jackets w/ the sleeves crossed OVER the front... Um, I can't see anything!🙄
vikimouse
Here are some of mine...what is your lowest? Selling toys, hi chairs, clocks, sheet sets, knives, dishes, figurines, records, books, pool floats, beach towels. Poshmark is not stopping this/getting worse! Reported over and over and the stuff remains. They should get rid of the women other category that this clutter is getting listed under. Finally, the private bundle offer feature. People make play bundles to get lowball prices and waste your time. Dressing room feature is stupid too!😣🤐😥😭😲😨😬😖😤😢
jujus_fashion
@vikimouse lololol I know I hate when I see people using Poshmark like its a garage sale. 🙄
vikimouse
@julhamil I can't understand why Posh is letting this junk go through, doing nothing about it. There has to be a flagging of listing/policing of "other category" protocol. Posh is responsible if this stuff is damaged in shipping, problem with order, etc. Waiting for the day I see a cow for sale!😲😨😬😖
lilyspring
@aggg Speaking in full sentences is not the norm on Poshmark and other selling apps. You get more responses to concise inquiries. One word questions like "Length?" is normal. The less words the better.
brendachibi
@lilyspring I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. Please elaborate.
vikimouse
@lilyspring I followed your advice👹👺☠😱😠
bohobabe6479
@lilyspring Wow thank you SOOOOO much for that! I had no idea and I can't believe people get away with that! I have a feeling I might've bought some fakes 😬
bohobabe6479
Why would a seller cancel your purchase last minute? Drives me crazy!!!!
danawar
I have a few peeves I would just like to add......
1. Sequence - is an order in which things follow each other.
Sequins - are the shiny discs used to decorate shoes and clothes!
2. It is called a Racer Back top, bra or dress......
a Razorback is a wild hog.
3. When someone lists their 'fake' item under a brand name "for exposure"!?
Thank you for letting me vent!!!
shuffman77
Girl, you crack me up 😂 I ❤️ this! Hope you are doing great! 🤗
misscaligirl
My pet peeve that happens a lot to me is accepting a offer than there is a payment issue and the buyer goes MIA ..... ugh......
jujus_fashion
@misscaligirl uh oh. That's never happened to me luckily. That's frustrating!
misscaligirl
@julhamil happens to me a couple times a week or atleast 4 times a month . Glad you don't have that problem . Your closet is cute and I like your sense of humor ! All my best to successful Poshing sales ! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
jujus_fashion
@misscaligirl thanks a bunch!

And lets not forget the iron people. ***pet peeve**** why would someone want to buy something that looks like it has been balled up in your hamper for three months? Eweeee. At the veey least, toss it in the dryer for a few so it looks semi-decent. 🐴
0shebad1
@haleyamccall ughh.... im Super guilty of that. Making an effort to do better.
angelcallahan74
Creates a bundle with 1 item 😡 shows nails but needs a fill so bad ( I usually do too but because it’s the first thing I notice in a listing ( but won’t cause me to not buy the item if I like it) but I try so hard not to show my nails in Pic between fills 🤪
jujus_fashion
@angelcallahan74 omg yessss I hate getting my nails in the pic. It's mostly trying to get the tag of an item. Sometimes I have to but I do always crop it as much as possible. I just hate it. Not that my nails are gross or need fillings but it's just a pet peeve of mine. 😂😂😂
rhondap16
@seldenallie 😂 cow neck sweater😂
thefunkyroyals
@brendachibi Hi there! You can still report her to Posh. Just go to your sales page, find the sale w/the transaction number & buyers name. Then just message support under "just need help" or something like that & tell support the story you told here, that this user has not only used your pics but she blocked you when you tried to contact her to tell her she cannot use your personal photos! They'll handle her! Geeze some people are crazy!
thefunkyroyals
Ooo this is so funny, unfortunately it's so true too! Everyone has made legitimate pet peeves & I think they bug the majority of good Poshers! I sell almost all BNWT items, I think I have just a few NWOT items & 1-2 EUC items. Anyhow I list my items at 25%-75% off the retail price already, I just love it when I get an LB offer for an additional 50% off! Or a $3 offer on a NWT $10 item. Ya sure, I'd love to get ZERO $ for all the time, effort, $$ I put into this NWT item
thefunkyroyals
Oh, 2 more... I get tired of having to politely tell LB'rs that in asdirtion to
thefunkyroyals
Crud! I did not mean to hit send yet!! What I meant to say is I hate having to continually remind LB'rs that in addition to the fact that I've already listed the NWT item at 50%-75% off Retail, that buy the time Posh takes their 20% it doesn't leave much left, especially when I also factor in gift wrapping & thank you cards. Last, is seeing used items being sold for full retail value or more than what I have my BNWT item listed for, craziness I say!
thefunkyroyals
Ok, 1 more then I'm done ranting. I get irritated when I like an item/items from closets then get tons of messages saying "make me an offer, taking all offers, I will make you a bundle deal on all your likes & many more pushy tactics" I don't harass people ever when they like items from my closet. People like items for many different reasons. I like items I think are cute, maybe as a recommendation to someone for a HP, etc. Oh, advertising your closet in someone else's closet -HUGE no no!
jujus_fashion
@theroyalfunkies yup I just had someone do that to me in my closet and I found out you can mark their messages as spam and PM will remove them! 🙌🏼
theperfectplace
What about the listings where it looks like the posher just threw the covers back ,rolled out of bed and started shooting pictures. Y'all have seen plenty of those. Just a wrinkled up sheet or messed up bedding. I've scrolled down and people actually purchased from them. Probably the other people that take pics on the unmade messy bed . They support laziness. YES
stylinmama2
@jujus_fashion OMG! 😂😂I’m laughing so hard! I had to search crockpot and see for myself. Sure enough....crockpots are for sale on Posh. 🙊 Crazy thing is that there were about FIVE of them listed!!!!!!! 🥘. So ridiculous. Lol!
alison61
Sequined... Not Sequence... Numbers are in sequence
kalop
@blairbcutie I’ve seen this with a pair of lulus I wanted so bad $250 was the average on here cause they were rare found them on their website in stock for $120!
kalop
The Sephora samples or deluxe sample sizes beings sold for $16+ for 1. Or buying the value kits them breaking them up and selling them for $3 less then you can buy a whole kit. I get it it’s a matter of making money but thank goodness I do my research
geewoman
Lol.....shoes with dirty footprints 👣....wrinkled clothing eewww just so sloppy.
tdreece
@theperfectplace I’m with you! I don’t want something you’ve had laid out on your dirty sheets. Gross!
aurora_apparel
Personally taken pics w a phone that are darn close to soft porn. Not be a prude, but I come here to sell and shop, not to see flagrant T&A. Plenty of other places online for that!
aurora_apparel
You know, I posted this two days ago and have felt badly since then in regards to it. So many lovely Poshfriends have been positive and built me up... who am I to criticize how anyone else presents herself? If I knew how to erase that comment, I would. Peeves are one thing - they aren’t personally directed - but criticism is another. Mea culpa! I can do better!
jujus_fashion
@aurora_apparel it's all good. That's how it goes. We and live and learn. Sometimes we just have bad days. That's why this post as so many comments I think. It Let's people get something out when they are feeling it and then they are over it. So 🙌🏼👍🏼
luc21
@misscaligirl omg this has happened twice to be this week
lfoster23434
Love this! I consider myself a good buyer, but exaggerated prices are rampant on Posh! I always leave a good review even when delivered crap! Q-NWT, but apparently worn! My fault...I guess! I’ve learned to ask specific questions. One particular said “It’s listed NWT, nothing changed.” Yet, when I received there are tags yet sequins missing and apparently worn! Well, did you wear it with the tags or just reattach after you wore it. Come on! We’re not stupid.
lfoster23434
2- The “No-low balling offer” crap! How about don’t inflate your prices 1000%! If you don’t want a offer say “Price is Firm.” I get it that it should be a good deal for both buyer and seller. Some on here are really just trying to cheat the buyer. Maybe instead of sellers fussing about “ low ball offer” they should keep other sellers accountable for bad business practices that reflect on them all.
lfoster23434
3- Waiting on Shipping! Can you not send it a day or two after you accept the offer a hour ago! The tissue paper, not free gift, yet, you sent it in a crap envelope- Unnecessary, just send what I bought in quality shipping. 4- Your pictures with original website pictures! I want to see what I am buying not the website. Go ahead and provide dimensions and detailed info, quality, how you laundered, wear and any damage! I will be asking if not already listed.
lfoster23434
5- The pictures in your dirty room where you dishes are by the bed,you took the pics in the storage unit and your floor is covered in junk! I have intentionally not bought things because of bad backgrounds! I buy more from people with clean/ junk free backgrounds! I second the comment about the sexy pics. This is not a sexy picture contest. Your selling the product not what you look like!
lfoster23434
Sorry for the crazy long vent, but it really drives me NUTS! So happy I found this thread. I have had some really great buys. I have had some awesome sellers too! Some are missing it completely! I may regret this post later.......
jujus_fashion
@lfoster23434 😂😂😂 some people are just plain rude. Why would they say, has tags nothing's changed 😳. Yea I move on from buyers like that. And I don't buy items from messy backgrounds either. 😆
lfoster23434
@jujus_fashion Drives me crazy! The NWOT and your charging full retail. The fact is this is a second hand site and prices should be maintained that way. If I wanted to go buy at retail price. I will go to the store...rare pieces that I can’t buy in store are different.
lfoster23434
Sorry, for the continued vent! It’s out and I am over it now! 😉😊thanks for giving a place to get it out!
adiamondcupcake
🌈 LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! I’m fairly new here so I’m still learning but I’ve seen some crazy stuff for sale on here lol 😂
jujus_fashion
@keriann1975 😜 well happy poshing. Let me know if you have any questions. It gets addicting once you start doing well.
bati_mamselle
@jujus_fashion this has been an interesting post and illuminating (and entertaining) early morning read. I’ve read the do’s and don’ts on PM and thought I had a good handle on what to do. Apparently in the few months I’ve broken a few unwritten rules. Jsik, it’s not okay to sell something for the price you bought it for even if you never wore it?
melaniebee74
@alih16 Thank you 👏🏻 I don’t understand why some sellers don’t understand that concept.
buyithere
@lfoster23434 @jujus_fashion I know this is an old thread but I just came across it. I don't know if you were aware but some retailers with websites like Free People and American Apparel ship items without tags. I have bought items online from both stores and when I received the items there were no tags. So some Poshers may legitimately be selling items from those retailers that are NWOT.

They need to give new poshers a list of things, such as accepting orders when they arrive! I hate it when they don't. Also, please answer questions. If i can't get a question answered I will not order from that person. I will see that they post updates so maybe thy don't know how to answer? Things to be explained when signing up?

@melonposhmark One thing about offers that I've recently found out: if someone declines an offer, the seller can't make another offer to them for the same item(s)! That's why many people let it time out rather than declining. ♥

@seldenallie 🤣🤣🤣

Sellers th hatsay 'open yo offers!' 'Make me an offer!', you make an offer and they counter with $1-2 dollars off thier original all ready too high asking price of $40+. Ive seen an active seller trying to hustle the same item, for the same price for the last 3 years because they wont budge even $1 off the $15 listing price. (I made the offer 3 years ago. Declined, listing still gets refreshed every few days at same price)
unicornpooh
Sellers that do that do the back and forth offering finally conr to agreement and purchase and then ghost despite continuing to log in and sell, but wont answer your when will this ship questions, until you wait out the time limit to cancel it yourself.
unicornpooh
Items claimed to be made by local artist that ive seen in adverts from wish. Sellers that go on a vendetta attack on your closet if you file a 'problem with purchase'. Had one seller tagging people on my closet saying i broke an item and claimed itold posh i got it that way. When in reality, she sold a fake dollar store item as genuine preious metal/stone bracelet and posh granted the return. Zero breakage, just garbage! Learned to block before i complain courtesy of her.

I have a couple pet peeves with Poshmark, but with my closet this specific nuisance...
I’ve had a few people who have purchased, waited out full 3 days until payment was forced through and then gave me bad reviews with either false or no information. (I photograph all sales to protect myself from scams but you can’t argue a untrue review) There’s a few of them now that I simply block & deny them another purchase (they actually try to buy again). 😓
vicdlr
When they offer in the comments section 🤦🏽♀️

@vicdlr yessss. Please use Offer button!! 😑
jaeldanielle
*when expensive listings lack critical info eg measurements, eg no photos of purse interior, etc
*stunning stock photos in listing only learn at the end of listing they are selling a different color
*listings that note size in XS etc when designer only sells in 2-4-6 sizes
jujus_fashion
@jaeldanielle hahaha. Oh lord. That sounds like a whole hot mess 😬😆
yewleea
@jujus_fashion my personal pet peeve is people offering $35-$70 on an item that is new with tags that was purchased for $300+ and is listed for around $200. It’s just ... rude at that point. I’m sure my listings aren’t all perfect but these things feel like a slap in the face.

SANDALS OR ANY OTHER OPEN SHOE WITH DARK FOOTPRINTS 😲😠😡
humerakhan00
#1 Wipe the shoes from the inside before posting pictures. I completely understand its worn once or how ever many times its a major turn off from the product when I see dirt on the inside of the shoe.
#2 dark pictures/ incomplete description.
humerakhan00
there is one thing a gently used item and then there is “Oh God I am not going to wear it again because its so roughly used it’s ripped item so lets post it for $90 because its name brand item” pisses me off

Not be forthright. For instance, showing a photo of a jewelry and when you receive it, this is a minor flaw like a crystal or a piece missing. It’s fixable but I’d like to know that upfront. I do not want to have to scrutinize the photo. We deserve honesty.
jujus_fashion
@sbi3 I believe I’ve actually done this before but was completely unintentional. Sometimes sellers do make mistakes and just miss stuff. So in that case you can open a case with poshmark and they will likely refund your money. I’m sure it was an oversight if it happened to you.

@jujus_fashion I saw an elliptical machine for sale the other day...um how the hell do you ship that?! lol and a 1980's (half of the months were missing) Ann Taylor wall calendar for sale for 6 figures... claimed it was vintage. And there's another pet peeve of mine... people's perception of vintage. 2015 is not vintage!!! How can something NWT be vintage? ugh I could scream!
jujus_fashion
@christian7716 hahaha. I know I’ve seen dumbbell sets recently on posh. 🧐🤨um no

I have several pet peeves! Shiny discs are sequins, not sequence....it’s a racer back top, not razor back (a hog) .....and peasant blouse not a pheasant (bird) Thanks for letting me vent!

There is a difference in antique and old trash.
There is a difference in old stuff and trash! If it is so damaged and broken go ahead and just throw it away!
sliollio
I have a question. Why do people comment “I’d like to buy this” instead of buying the item? I’ve gotten that message a few times. Most of the time I don’t know if it’s bc they actually don’t know how to buy something, have changed their mind, or it means some other unspoken rule I’m unaware of. Not really annoying to me but more confusing. Does this happen to anyone else?
dosojosverdes
@jujus_fashion .......I'd say... not having customer support via Posh. That is huge. Commissions grant having phone support when you are at a crossroads with a purchase or a sale, and time is against you. I wholeheartedly agree with you all in this whole section. Yes I do!
I got totally burned out on Posh in the past and closed my store.
dosojosverdes
@jujus_fashion
I'm the seller and mostly buyer (ugh... gotta be disciplined in my case not to shop while I browse for an item, etc.").... oh, I'm the seller that goes by the book... never sending flammables thru an innocent looking parcel post...
dosojosverdes
@jujus_fashion
Could be/Should be mailed a MANUAL. Yes a physical brochure, booklet, whatever printed by our commissions and explaining things such as I saw a comment above: '"what happens when I share to a party?'" "where do the shares show up ON THE FEED?" "what's the feed", "I became and ambassador"and I don't even know who.why.where.and what for.,=^)

@jujus_fashion
I got exhausted from sharing, hitting blues; my wrists and fingers were hurting so much. Made a literally HUGE BUNDLE, gave it all to another Posher in my locale, and she is combining her listings and adding mine. I felt good and relieved. I could sleep at a decent hour and I had no stress...................... Love it... cow neck, sequence, razor back, ugh, there are so many... I will jot them down as I find them and return
dosojosverdes
@jujus_fashion
I tell myself..... do what you like. Do what is fair for others. Be polite and if there is a legitimate reason... COMPLAIN!!! I recently received clothing that was filthy... hems cut up and HOT GLUE GUNNED.....................sorry. I don't even want to revisit that "feeling." JuJu, I'm directing comments to you because I believe you started this column? If not... oopsss.

keikobee
I love this thread. I was surprised to go through this whole list and not find my biggest pet peeve. It drives me NUTS. When sellers create a bundle for me when I’ve only liked a single item from their closet. Then they use that to continually advertise to me and badger me for a sale. It’s so pushy! I’ll immediately unlike the item, remove it from my bundle, and unfollow them. If I wanted a bundle I’d make a bundle. If I’ve liked a ton of shit from your closet, then sure, make a bundle!
poshpnw
@keikobee I often bundle/offer to a person w/ only one like. This may be because: 1) Won't bother previous likers by sending offers for every new one. 2) Sets up opportunity to converse in private. 3) More flexibility in bundles, such as reduced price but not shipping.
I feel very uncomfortable pressuring others so I normally create bundle/send offer/move on. After that I don't offer again because I can't see offer history. Does anyone know of a way sellers can view offer history?
poshpnw
Now (some of) my pet peeves...
-All close-up pics w/out including one zoomed out for perspective.
-Belligerent that item is 100% authentic but won't post more pics.
-Offers for 50%+ off asking price.
-Referring to strangers with terms of endearment - babe, doll, sweetie, etc. Intentions are mostly friendly and there are exceptions but so often it oozes fake.
Thank you for the opportunity to post my petty grievances - feels good to commiserate and also learn different perspectives! 🙃
foundbyfran
My top pet peeve is “lowest”. Doesn’t send me an offer. Doesn’t ask if the price is the lowest I go. Just “give me your lowest offer”.
Like.....no. I don’t care if you want 1 item or 20. You’re not gonna demand I give you the lowest price.
I just had someone do that on a $30 bundle valued at $80 retail price and I’m like nope. Cleared out their whole bundle.
open24hrsdaily
One of my pet peeves is people who complain about the price but don’t make an offer.
lrhsamuels
I totally agree with you. The worst are dirty dishes/clothes in pics. I never buy from sellers with that in the pic.
The worst are “antique”. Ok is the jewelry piece is not antique (must be 100 years or longer AND “vintage”, must be at least 50 years or longer. I buy mostly jewelry and shoes. Would love to help poshers with those postings……..I have an extensive costume jewelry collection and 105 reference books.
I’m just sayin…….
bati_mamselle
@jujus_fashion thanks for this opportunity to vent
1. Misspellings 😑😑😑
2. Bots? that jump into new listings asking you to contact them offline
3. ISO listings
4. People who give you 3 stars for slow shipping when you have literally snuck out of work to ship the same day 😡
5. The perpetuation of the myth that US shoe sizes are the same as European sizes without the 3 (8.5 is NOT the same as a 38.5 and I have the too small designer shoes that I can’t recoup my money on to prove it)
joyfilledlife
@jujus_fashion I wish sellers would keep in mind if an item is used, has been worn, etc. Then price accordingly. I understand wanting to make a little money, but some of the items I see need to go to the thrift store, or worse, in the trash!
Also, check the price of an item online before you ask buyers to pay more than new.
tiffanykinsey
@joyfilledlife I couldn’t agree more, I go to some peoples closets and I’m like they really love those clothes still 🤣🤣🤣 Old and faded and wrinkled….. really!!!
sbrodhagenk3d2
I ACTUALLY saw someone selling used and DIRTY socks the other day, in the description they said they could wash them if a buyer wanted her to!! I was DUMBFOUNDED! But my body get pet peeves when check happened to me recently is purchasing an item that NEVER gets shipped and PM has to cancel it!! UGH!!!!!!
donnaschuber368
@jujus_fashion you're
bobkitty4
@jujus_fashion I know this is old but i just came across this at work (shhhhh!!) and after scrolling and laughing wanted to toss in my two cents.
Selling used underwear. Ummm.....NO!!! I don't care if washed or not.
Also - buying secondhand (like from Goodwill) or clearance and not removing the price before you've marked it up astronomically. SMH....

@blairbcutie I am really curious what type of leggings these are! 🤪

@seldenallie OMG proof read! I’m new to this platform, but some listings make me cringe! Thanks so much for listening… I appreesh all the tips! Now allow me to adjust a photo on one of my first listings. Happy Poshing
tigarose24
@vikimouse lol. I’m a dairy farmer and I seriously LOL at your comment about the cow! You made my day!! Thanks! I needed that!
tigarose24
@jujus_fashion Oh that happened to me and I was sooo embarrassed! I had just got my nails done and didn’t realize I put my credit card number in wrong! I fixed it within minutes but I felt so bad for the seller. I’m grateful she was patient with me.
tigarose24
Oh I have a new peeve that hasn’t been listed here yet… “Buyers” that want more pics sent to their personal e-mail then ask if they can send you a cashiers check! I freaked TF out. But when I went to look up their profile again on PM to report it, their profile disappeared! Anyone else have that happen?
tigarose24
I have a question for a Professional Posher… I’m new here and I feel dumb for asking… How do you arrange your closet to put the best, items at the top? I can’t figure it out!
jujus_fashion
@tigarose24 ok. Hi. Welcome. Glad you’re on posh what a great way to make a little extra money. So I don’t organize my closet at all. I used to when I started and it’s a complete waste of time. Don’t worry about it. Just share the items and get eyes on them. 2. Anyone who asks for extra pics, sends their email address or request weird shit it’s a scam and report to poshmark immediately and it comes off your listing. Have fun!
tigarose24
@jujus_fashion thanks so much!

@ewrpmom that happened to me too!
Purchased what read size large but when received it was labeled xxl! Seller apologized after she mailed to me not before! I should have opened a case but didn’t want the hassle! Why did she tell me before mailing!!! I’ll never understand 🤷🏻♀️
bati_mamselle
@haleyamccall yesssss!
bati_mamselle
@jujus_fashion giggle - love the rants. I’m coming from the perspective of someone who does a LOT more buying than selling here - I need descriptions!! As a tall girl (5’9”), my biggest pet peeve is “floor length” for dresses and skirts. Floor length for WHO? If you’re 5’5” it definitely won’t be floor length for me. If there is no inseam on the pants, I have to assume it won’t fit me.
bati_mamselle
@jujus_fashion And yes, tagging with a designer name for “exposure” is one step away from scamming IMO. Photos that are too dark, overexposed, don’t show the entire item or cover it up with stuff for decoration is bothersome, but even more annoying is when you ask for clarification and the seller either doesn’t respond even though they have been active in the last hour or (my favorite) responds by saying “my pictures speak for themselves “ 😂
