I sorry I will sound very dumb but I don't have a lot of time selling here, can you explain what you mean by recording all sales or transactions. Maybe I should be doing it too :)

@sonya5000 Hi, I record my clothing to include packaging to have proof of the condition of my Items. If for some reason a customer opens a case against you. Then, you will have proof to give to Poshmark to prove your side of the case. Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks and take care.

@salleylin I'm so new, I have only one listing! I guess I still don't understand how you record your sales. The photos in the listing show the condition of the item(s). Are you saying you take a picture of the way it's wrapped/padded INSIDE the box before you seal it so you can prove you protected properly? Thanks so much! I'm still trying to learn about following and sharing!

I've been recording since day one, usually I don't need it but if I ever do....
May 20Reply

borntorun6228
What I do is make a video as I'm packaging the item and I state the date, the item I'm shipping, and I make sure to note that there's no damage or rips or stains on the item as it's being packed and I make sure to also record proof that the tags are attached when it's a new with tag item.

@borntorun6228 I agree ! What a great idea ! I had a girl rip a hole in lucky jeans and then said they were damaged and got her money back while I got the destroyed jeans back ... she must have been too big for the jeans .. they were brand new with tags

If a buyer opens a case for whatever reason and get the money back, is the buyer obligated to returned the item before a refund takes place?
Aug 05Reply

salleylin
@labonte78 @borntorun6228 Hi, the buyer should return the item back to you. Poshmark, usually sends a letter to the buyer to instruct them to mail it back to the seller. I don't know if Poshmark instructs them to mail it back to you before their refund is processed. Hi @borntorun6228 can you please offer any advice regarding her question? I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you
Aug 05Reply

borntorun6228
@salleylin @labonte78 they are supposed to return the item. Unfortunately it seems some do not. I would definitely keep after posh in a situation like this. Posh can't force them to return the item but hopefully they note the persons acct or something if the item isn't returned.

@labonte78 I totally and completely agree and I wish that they would change that I've never been in that kind of a situation but I have seen other posts from people that have that they are out the money and the item and yes it is completely unfair we don't get paid until they accept the item so they shouldn't get refunded until we receive the item

wildwoods
@labonte78 pardon me for butting in, but my understanding is that in the vast majority of normal return situations, posh will not refund the buyer unless & until the item is back at the seller's home. Posh tracks the return package. Posh also tells the buyer that if they dont return the item within a very tight timeframe, the return shipping label becomes void. Buyers cannot keep the item & get a refund

I have actually had 2 issues with purchases here, 1 the item was stained and never stated in description, I was offered a $10 posh credit to keep the items. 2nd was eye shadow I received that was not packed correctly and exploded in shipping, I was given a full refund and told not to return the items. So I'm guessing it's at sellers discretion what happens in a complaint case? Video is a great idea though! Thanks for the tip!

moneymaker2017
Someone should open up something like a shipping notary store where you can box items in the presence of a third-party that records and signs off on contents & condition. They could seal the box with signature tape in the presence of the seller, take immediate possession and ship. Some of my items are expensive and I always worry that the buyer is going to deny and then return a counterfeit.

@moneymaker2017 Hi, that is certainly an awesome idea. Also, it will definitely put an end to scammers claiming they received something different from what they ordered.

So funny I got a notification for this today. Someone opened a case against one of my items. Never worn Cole Hahn loafers-they were snug when I tried on. They really never fit right! Anyway, she said I had them resoled. Do you have any idea how much resoling a pair of driving Mocs would be! I wouldnβt know how to go about it. She got A pair of 198 shoes for 40 something. Absurd! I do have my pics, though!

I agree about scamming on the lower end. I have had one case opened and it was on a smaller item. It made me want to stop selling all together because I got so paranoid.

This is really sad that these types of things happen & itβs discouraging to new sellers. Has anyone had a case opened against them where the videos and pictures they took helped them win the case against the dishonest buyer? Im just curious?

It seems like the buyers are protected over the sellers in most cases and thatβs just not right.

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing! I had a "remorse" case opened on item's color. I had all proof, and Posh left decision up to me. I allowed the return (to be nice); Posh made buyer return item; she wasn't refunded 'til I verified arrival/good condition. BUT BEWARE, since it was a NAD CASE, I STILL got a "DING" against me! My color was accurate, and if I'd known it was going to count against me, I would have stuck to my guns!

I sold a silk blend knit tub to and a short sweater as a set. They came together. They were new without tags the person I sold to obviously was not a medium and when she tried it on the hem of the top elastic tore and she blamed me for it. The items were in pristine condition. I was upset. But backed down. What could I have done. This was an expensive DKNY set

@salleylin Hi there. Do you mind sharing how you reduce your video file size to 5 mb? I'm currently trying to submit video footage for a claim where buyer may have worn a boutique item left tag on it and returned it but I'm having trouble reducing the file size to 5mb. It was 1.5 gb originally but I got it down to 83 mb. Not sure how to further reduce it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@queendivacloset Hi, I have not been able to figure out how to compress a video. I just know how to upload a video to Google Drive and then share the video by using Google Drive to Poshmark or sending them a link to the video through Google Drive. Sorry, I couldnβt answer your question. However, I hope your situation works out in your favor too. Take care

Thank you so much for sharing, that's horrible! I also have another question. I was trying to post a comment here about 2 times already and that happen to me on other poser listing, that sometimes it just disappear. Do you know anything why is that?
Oct 03Reply

salleylin
@merdalonka Hi, you should contact Poshmark support for them to try to help you solve the issue. I have seen other peopleβs post about this issue too. Peopleβs comments disappear on a post if someone blocks you or if you have an open case then Poshmark will not let you comment in their closet. Again, these were a couple of instances I came across when peopleβs comments have disappeared.

Thank you so much for sharing my listing and quick response. I figure it out already. You know the delate cross button is very pale gray and it's on the right site, so sometimes is hard to see it and also by accident to hit it. I think it's just a bad design of messaging. I think that's what it is. I hope that they will work on it and fixed. Have a wonderful evening darling and again thank you for being supportive! π π π π π

I read through this thread and this is super helpful info. I had 3 sales overnight and decided to video the process of packing and shipping today and from now on. My question is, how long do you keep the videos for? For a week or so after you've received payment/rating? Or indefinitely? Thanks!

How long do you keep videos for? Obviously until the buyer had recieved the item, but how long after you've received your rating do you keep the videos?

Then new shoes buyer said a pair of underwear was in a shoe. NOT! He won. 2 cases since 2013 just this week. Why is PM allowing these returns that are as described? Donβt get it. Sad and frustrated.

@wildwoods youβre exactly right....I was sent the wrong item which was just a simple mistake and the buyer was aware of her mistake but posh Mark only gave me two days to ship her item back and my refund was not issued to me until she received the items back and confirm that she received her items and then my refund was released. Then she just made another post and I purchased the jeans again and she sent the correct ones. It really was a simple mistake but I HAD to return the item to get refund

Hello, I am new as buyer and maybe as seller too. I am used to eBay where you can read feedback on the seller and the buyer. It doesn't seem like there is a way to do that here, or I am just missing it?? I always relied on rating and feedback heavily, especially if an item I am interested in is listed for about same price by several sellers. Since most of you seem like primarily sellers, how would you advise a newbie to evaluate a seller. I appreciate the tips on selling.

@linztx Hi, there you are exactly right there isnβt any feedback to go on. I review their listings and see if there are any bad comments, length of time on Poshmark and also I check the love notes too. It really kind of like a hit and miss sometimes. I hope this helps you.

Thanks for the post I found it helpful. I sold a new with tags dress for $10. I never wore it and I just wanted to get rid of it. It was super cute in perfect condition. The buyer has accused it of having a thred pull that would pull all the flower designs out on it but I know I sent it in perfect condition. sheβs also commenting on the listing so it might affect other buyers. What happens if she pulled the thred will they let her return it?

@cassandraaly804 Hi, there Iβm glad this post helped you. Iβve definitely learned a lot through Poshers sharing their experiences. If the buyer pulled the thread and is claiming she received it in that condition, then the buyer will have to submit proof (example: photos). Then, you will have to make sure you submit photos and explain your side of the case in the comments section so Poshmark can determine the condition.

@salleylin I am so glad I saw this today. I have been poshing for awhile- have been lied to on at least 5 purchases of things being in great condition and they are covered in huge stain and bleached out stains which they obviously knew about- I filed claims and they were granted for refunds.

Today I had my first claim filled against me- the pictures she posted are not even of the childβs Patagonia fleece she bought from me- itβs covered in pilling and hair- I donβt even have a pet. And is 100% not the jacket I shipped. I looked at her profile and it is filled with Patagonia stuff even the same size she bought from me at a cheaper price so Iβm guessing she purchases to resell.

Who knows what they are going to do about her claim but it will be total crap if approve her claim and refund her and she sends me back that trashed fleece she is claiming is what I sent. Itβs sad that this is what it comes to because people canβt be honest but your suggestion is a great way to help prevent this.

Advice on what to say when buyer opens a case? The dress is brand new with tags. She claims the material was thin, see through and cheap. She said that she is a heavier set (body type). She says the dress does not have any bra underwire and I didnβt state in the description. Itβs true though. I did put a photo of me wearing it and it was not see through and supported me. I would not know how it would look on a different body type as I am a smaller frame.
