WHY LIKE ITEMS..THEN DECLINE ALL OFFERS!?

US$0

Size

Not for sale

Like and save for later

Can someone please explain to me what is the point of liking items but never wanting to actually buy them?? Sending multiple offers and lowering the prices yet people decline the offer? If you liked the item when it was first listed at $100 but when an offer is sent or price is lowered to $30 with a shipping discount, you dont want the item anymore?????? PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE!

haleygall8 @tidytammy it makes no sense!!! Give the person a 100% discount and they still won’t buy it!

tidytammy @haleygall8 ridiculous!totally agree

ergochloes I understand that people change their minds, also sometimes I just like something for the sake of liking it so I don’t waste my energy getting pissed off because someone doesn’t accept my offer, I’m easygoing 🦋

Oct 17Reply

haleygall8 @ergochloes well for you and anyone else that does that please do not do that in my closet...im here to sell items not to just be a look book for things you just want to like for the sake of it. Sorry not what poshmark is for!

Oct 17Reply

ergochloes @haleygall8 yes that’s why I’m selling on Poshmark, to make sales, and I do. I’m just understanding that people change their minds.

blue_heron13 just because I buy AND sell ... I think it's a free market. People like things, fine if they dont want to buy right away.. however "likes" still help the seller. Hey - I " like" stuff sometimes just to "help" an overlooked item... and sometimes I really like/want something, but it's just not in my budget -for now... --- don't let it bother you-- why sweat the small stuff, right? :)

Oct 18Reply

haleygall8 @sabinetoo no one is sweating the small stuff....again it’s my closet and I rather you not do that ! Thanks!

Oct 18Reply

blue_heron13 Absulutely - and of course it's your closet... and you do what you do. it was a different point of view from a buyer/seller view - I will make sure not to like anything out of your closet ( without wanting to buy) so take it easy, it's not meant as an offense. :)

Oct 18Reply

haleygall8 @sabinetoo well thank you I appreciate that haha and its not that Im trying to be mean... I understand people go through things and dont always have the money for what they want.. its life! But continuously making offers to people with a big discount sometimes even free shipping and they decline time after time..to me that is just pointless and might as well unlike the item! Happy Poshing though! Thanks for stopping by!

Oct 18Reply

blue_heron13 @haleygall8 you too!

crownscloset When I first started on Posh I would see items that were really cool, maybe not my size or style, but a really neat item, so I would like it. With a little more experience i have quit liking anything I'm not interested in buying.

haleygall8 @crownscloset thanks for sharing!! Happy Poshing!

jessicalambe527 @sabinetoo exactly what I do. Or I like something to remind me to share it with my followers.

Oct 23Reply

haleygall8 @jessicalambe527 like it to remind you to share it with your followers? then why not just share right then instead of liking it? to me that just defeats the purpose of the share button ! Thanks for sharing though!

Oct 23Reply

jessicalambe527 @haleygall8 I try to share more than once especially if I find things that would go good with my stuff. Thank you for sharing mine!

haleygall8 @nilestarzz 😂😂 right though!! I rather my listing not have any likes than 10 fake likes when they don’t even want to buy it!

Oct 24Reply

stylewarrior As a posher for 6 years I can tell u I like items to book mark a closet. I like to buy more than 1 item in people’s closets to save on shipping. Sometime closetS only have 1 item that fits and I’ll come back a few weeks later and bundle. For example I liked your bomber jacket, that’s it and now I’ll wait till you upload more stuff I like so I can bundle. However, reading some messages of you saying “don’t like my items” seems rude so, bummer:( you lost a sell.

Oct 29Reply

haleygall8 @stylewarrior sucks you feel that way but I’m doing fine with sales so 👋🏽

Oct 29Reply

almondjoyalso To save myself the frustration, I don't send offers for likes or bundles....Either they want it, or they don't...I respond to OFFERS that are sent, and if it's a very unreasonable offer, I simply decline it and keep it moving. Folks have made a 48 piece bundle worth $400+, and offered $103, expecting me to not only accept it, but also pay the additional fees to ship it. Basically, they want to HARVEST in my closet, to resell it in theirs at a huge profit...I'm NOT the one.

Jul 21Reply

haleygall8 @almondjoyalso Yesss! people are so irritating with that low ball offers! I decline every single one ! Only reason I even send out offers is the mere fact im trying to get rid of everything and get a couple coins before i just donate to a womens shelter and still people dont even want cheaper prices! make nooooo sense!

Jul 21Reply

almondjoyalso @haleygall8 People 'sum-up' your closet, and once they see you sell your items at a certain price, they expect you to sell everything at those prices. I guess they think I'm desperate, and selling everything because I need the money, and it's neither. I simply want to clear out the 5 closets that I've filled with my 'shopping addiction' evidence. 😂🤣

Jul 21Reply

haleygall8 @almondjoyalso EXACTLY!! like i have so much stuff I want to post but this last year or so Poshmark hasnt been it!! I use to sell so much on here and now its just people liking items and never buying! Definitely not going to waste my time with pictures, descriptions etc !! Rather give it away to someone who will be happy then sell it for $1 profit and paying for your shipping hahahah

Jul 21Reply

almondjoyalso @haleygall8 Folks don't like being called out, and certain groups of PETTY women WILL make it their DAILY business to stalk your closet, once they realize you're here to sell, just like them. They feel like they own monopoly rights for listing on Poshmark. They want yours for 50-70% off, but only offer 5-10% off for 3 or more items in their closet. They want YOUR items for low, to flip in their closet at a huge profit...PERIOD.

fast_track As annoying as this is this is the New way. this is Social media selling and liking things is supposed to help algorithms to curate your likes into lists. they use your likes as a guide to send you more products

Jul 22Reply

haleygall8 @fast_track ehh idk about that for solely poshmark?! people throwing random likes hasnt helped at all ... but it might for you? idk

Jul 22Reply

fast_track @haleygall8 lol. yeah it's annoying but it's part of the gig! I use it to send offer to likers. I had some sales from that avenue. I also delete and relist and up the price if I lower it and no one buys it. Its no sweat 😅 off my back. And then you have a New listing 👍🏽

Jul 22Reply

haleygall8 @fast_track good idea! Never thought to relist it again! But that might bring on more likers for no reason 🤣🤣🤣

Jul 22Reply

fast_track @haleygall8 😂. I recommend relisting by hitting the Copy button then delete emojjis from the title ( think about when you search for an item) no one uses emoji to Google then give the best title repeat title it in the first description section!

Jul 22Reply

mrsjamesdeiter this issue is actually explained to me by one of my customers yesterday. it's her way of bookmarking the page without making a monetary commitment. made sense to me

Jul 22Reply

fast_track wishing you Sales! don't give up! don't be discouraged! I have made over $10,000 with Posh and only $1000 with Ⓜ️ ercari so I am definitely a Posher! for me this has been an amazing/ best platform. just don't sweat the small stuff and little annoyances! much love fellow posher 💕😘 You can do it!

Jul 22Reply

haleygall8 @mrsjamesdeiter sounds like excuses to me haha like i said rather someone not like it at all .. if you are that interested in something you will remember where you saw it at no need to bookmark. And then on top of that if you are "bookmarking" something that is say $50 and the person lowers it to $10 and they still decline offer or dont purchase... what the heck is the point to book mark the damn item?!?! haha

Jul 22Reply

haleygall8 @fast_track wow you're doing great! Im really not trying to make this a business or my main job .. just trying to get rid of all the stuff i have in like 3 closets hahaha i was much more serious in past years but now i just need someone to clear out my clothes and shoes so i can moveeeee!

Jul 22Reply

fast_track @haleygall8 😎 cool! I get you. you can also sell a mystery box for cheap. just get rid of a lot in one bang! for example say : mystery reseller box 10 items for $50 something like that! I do that with Clearance in my closet. hope it helps 🙂

Jul 22Reply

lorik36 This can be a great station. I agree. By the time we take photos, take measurements, provide de options and a listing, organize our items neatly & carefully before they sell, then wrap them, package them, write a thank you note, and go the shipper, it’s a lot of work. I sense that a lot of people like an item so they can watch it & watch it until it gets to rock bottom pricing & then maybe they’ll buy it. It really cuts into making any $$ and makes it hard to stay in the black. 🙁

kcmoana @lorik36 True!

leoswife Maybe instead of all this frustration, you all, including me, should petition Poshmark to stop the “LIKE” feature...I personally feel it’s outlived it’s usefulness. We all seem to agree on that!

Jul 31Reply

anitahoward871 @haleygall8 If you like an item but don't have the money right then it's easier to go back and find when you do. And just because you like something, it doesn't always mean you want to buy it.

andrealiming This drives me crazy!! 😤🤪

Aug 03Reply

andrealiming @haleygall8 I understand what you’re going through. I don’t understand the like button. I think it’s pretty much pointless. It’s not Facebook. Either share the item or buy it. I’m right to the point.

Aug 03Reply

haleygall8 @andrealiming RIGHT!! its probably the most annoying thing about poshmark!! Definitely for the removal of the like button .. simply doesnt help anyone! And im not here to get like on clothes in my closet like IG im here to sell the stuff so either you want it or you dont!!!!

Aug 03Reply

andrealiming @haleygall8 I’m here to downsize. My husband says I have too much stuff. I donate a lot to Goodwill and I’ve taken stuff to the homeless shelter, but I can’t give everything away.one more rant: I wish Poshmark would take the ability to offer discounts on Shipping. That is the dumbest thing they could’ve done. Why on Earth would you pay full price when you you can get discounted or free shipping.

renna1972 Hi, idk about others , sometimes I do it cause I’m waiting for buyers to accept their purchases and my balance goes up so I can buy what I liked without it getting lost among my shares . But usually it takes not more than 3 days . Other time ( rarely ) I like but I’m not sure yet , to find it easily if I decide yes since my likes are very few .

Aug 07Reply

renna1972 @haleygall8 ok and when I first joined here I didn’t know that a like means showing interest , I thought it’s like saying it’s beautiful 😳 And one time I was really ridiculous, still I am since it’s still among my likes , I love it sooooo much I can’t remove it . It’s to die for vintage mod dress in size small , I can’t fit in modern day size small so forget it with vintage size . I liked and decided to go on diet to lose weight then but it 😭😭😭😳 will start my diet this Monday lol

k_on_the_coast New poshers are sometimes figuring out how they will use the app. I liked a sold item in your closet to remind me that this particular style of workout shoe exists. I'll also be cued to look at your closet again when shopping for my next pair of gym shoes since I liked the color and style you previously had on offer. Wishing you a pleasant day! 🌼

Aug 08Reply

haleygall8 @dorothywidmer EXACTLY! Its the worst thing about this app! Im trying to sell items not use this as my IG page for my clothes closet!!! I will literally ask people what do you want to pay just send an offer and nope nothing works! People just keep liking items for sale.. even ones that are sold which makes no sense.. .and then continue to decline any offer no matter the price!

Aug 11Reply

haleygall8 @dorothywidmer took the words out my mouth, with half the people on here there is no real intention to buy! Congrats on the baby on the way!!

Aug 11Reply

haleygall8 @jenjenwoody thought i should refer you over to this post as well.. read comments above to help! I do not appreciate or like the multiple likes of all items in the closet if you are truly not interested in purchasing any of them or sending an offer. It doesnt help my sales out nor does it help you out! So people unlike the items if you are NOT INTERESTED!

Aug 11Reply

vanessaxoxo23 You're not kidding.... idk what the point is lol maybe they're bored... but if I like something, I buy it when sent a great offer like that! :)

Aug 11Reply

gems_of_glory @nilestarzz ☼ I never thought about it in that way, but you could be right. "liking", as in Thumbs Up. I have clicked Like ♥ on listings - and then 3 mos later, unliked it because my taste or needs have changed. I decline offers all the time, but I usually send a nice note with it explaining why. Sometimes people accidentally hit Like or Add to bundle.

cindysue140 There is no sense to it. It's what's known as dealing with the public. And you have to be flexible and know what battles to lose. And it can drive you nuts!

dressingupchic @fast_track are you still selling that good? It’s an honest question. I’ve been on Poshmark for a month and a half and only made one sale. I’ve been doing trips to the thrift store but I just want to know if I should keep going or just give up.

Oct 09Reply

fast_track @annieprz84 Hi! I feel like giving up sometimes too, but I love this because I work this around my life, and kids. I posh/share when I can. September was slow for sure, but I been experiencing that slowness in biz overall for 10 years now. ( it's the back to school thing) I just hit $10,000 mark ‼️ it can work if you Work it!

fast_track it took me a year by the way. and I tried other sites too but overall I like this site because of the flat shipping

bruppie Wow such toxic energy. People are allowed to like your items if they want to and they’re not obligated to buy them at any cost.

Oct 19Reply

haleygall8 @bruppie no it’s not toxic energy… CLEARLY a lot of people feel this way. Poshmark isn’t an Instagram for clothes.. liking the items and never wanting to buy them helps no one! It’s understood when a person like it to save and then either sends an offer or buys it down the road… clearly a difference. And again, this is my closet so I can do as I please with how I want to be ran! Thanks!

Oct 19Reply

bruppie @haleygall8 girl people are going to like your clothes and not buy them regardless of how mad it makes you. Personally I would delete this post because as a buyer it would deter me from buying from your closet, but as you said it is your closet and you can do with it what you will.

Oct 19Reply

haleygall8 @bruppie well girl, im perfectly fine with this post deterring people from my closet... I have no issues with sales its more of just an annoyance to me and obviously others that when offers are sent people will ignore or decline sales but have liked the post for months.

Oct 19Reply

bruppie @haleygall8 I think it annoys us all sometimes but I wouldn’t want to deter someone from liking something they like to think about getting later over it, ya know? But you do you girl! I wish nothing but all the sales and none of the empty likes for you

Oct 19Reply

haleygall8 @bruppie I dont mind if people want to like stuff for later like I said .. this was for people who have liked a shirt say i posted 8 months ago at $30 .. and now I dropped it to $5 and they still arent buying it or sending an offer .. at that point they clearly dont want it and the like was for nothing.. get what Im saying? but thank you! Hope the best for you in sales as well!

Oct 19Reply

pipfashion @haleygall8 is there a place for us to comment on why we decline? I felt bad declining an offer due to the fact that the pants would be too short and I didn’t realize that. I appreciated the price drop but just couldn’t move forward. I’m new to this so I am asking- maybe I let them know on comments?

Oct 20Reply

fashions4all I think Poshmark needs to add another button. Instead of "like" meaning I want to buy to Poshmark, perhaps a button that says "want" could clue us sellers into making an offer or communicating with a perspective buyer. "Like" to me means just that, I "like" that item. Nowhere does it say "want to purchase" to me. JMHO

Oct 21Reply

maryluzr127 @haleygall8 when u said making a $1 profit and paying for your shipping I fell to the floor !😂I AM HOLLERING! I am still fairly new to Posh so I didn’t really understand how it operates until after a while when I started getting all these offers ,,,I said oh ok I’m just gonna stop liking everything 😭 I get it now…but this entire thread legit has me crying this morning !

greenrotation Hailey .. I like items but don’t necessarily want to buy them .. if I add them to a bundle then I’m actually shopping. Poshmark also needs to add a favorite item list to go back and see past items. I like items out of courtesy for a buyer.. maybe people have different ideas of what the like button is for .. and I only share items I sort of like…… 💛thank u for the shares … I’d be happy to share future items for you!!

Nov 02Reply

sandiegoposhin I am new to the website and I have liked a few articles that I personally think are cute - but I have no intention of buying them. Should I not be doing that? I read that it’s best to like and comment and share on other poshers listings…. I did however feel really bad when a private offer came through on some thing because I did decline it

Nov 16Reply

haleygall8 @sandiegoposhin To me there is no point to liking the item especially when you are already saying you have NO intention on buying it. If its cute.. idk think it to yourself "hey thats cute" and keep scrolling.. Liking items only notifies the seller that someone wants to buy the item..so being that alot of people are needing money or wanting to get rid of stuff it is not going to help them out sending offers to basically noone . hope that helps!

Nov 16Reply

sandiegoposhin @haleygall8 That makes sense and now I understand how the website works :-) thank you!

Nov 16Reply

redmermaid_cove The accuracy 💯💥 I don't understand it AT ALL!

Nov 17Reply

actu_ally I actually stopped doing discounts in my closet. If they want the item at a lower rate, they can offer. I’ve wasted countless amounts of time sending offers that get nothing in return, I know I’m guilty of window shopping from time to time on posh. It is frustrating, but I try to not get too worked up about it. In a lot of my listings I just say “no longer offering private offers or price drops BUT I still take offers :) “

Nov 17Reply

mg83711 @lorik36 I could not agree more! I had one person that liked ALL of my best items-when I was finally putting them as low as possible she’d snag them. Which kinda makes her extremely smart lol. But selling is definitely a lot of work! ❤️ Happy Selling :)

Nov 17Reply

dancingrain23 @sabinetoo this is how I feel as well.

Nov 17Reply

lorik36 I have just read this entire thread. It seems that the majority of sellers agree that there needs to be a new button for items a buyer really wants to buy. I agree. It’s not fair to sellers to have to keep reducing prices by 10% just because some people liked it but didn’t like it.

Nov 17Reply

lorik36 If every offer results in a 10% reduction in price, sellers can land up making next to nothing. The only person who benefits from this is buyer; even PM loses $ in commission. I hope PM reads this and makes the requested changes! 🌸

Nov 17Reply

haleygall8 @lorik36 exactly!! I never go lower then listing an item at $5 or offers lower then $8! Merely cause what is the point! We all know the commission break down when you sell something that cheap ESPECIALLY with a shipping discount… basically paying the person to take it off my hands… and NOPE! I rather donate to women in need then sell something to profit $1 or less!

michelekitty13 @haleygall8 lmao you're so right! I think it's a combo of people who don't really know how this works, and others who just want things for close to free!

Dec 14Reply

haleygall8 @michelekitty13 exactly! so frustrating! especially when the majority of people are here to sell .. it really defeats the purpose of me basically paying someone to take the clothes off my hands.. I know we see the same amount after the poshmark fees and shipping haha its honestly rude to ask someone to go so low on selling items.. its like common sense! and dont get me started on rating packages sooooo annoying!

Dec 14Reply

bazaargirl I Like items most of the time to earmark Listings I want to keep Sharing in the future. It allows me to support great Listings and my favorite Closets. I Share them on Twitter and Pinterest which draws sales through Google searches and brings in New Buyers who aren't even on the Poshmark platform but want to purchase the item I Shared.

diamondsragirls The MOST annoying $hit ever! Right up there with starting a bundle of 1 item, or more, and then not being responsive AT ALL to a comment I make acknowledging the bundle start or offer that is sent. At least say thanks, but just looking at this time. Also, right up there with "Is this still available?" If you're looking at it and it doesn't say Sold or Not For Sale, why are you asking? When I say Yes it is, then it's Crickets. wtf.

Jan 11Reply

diamondsragirls Oh and "will you take x$ off, I really love these!!". So, go through making a bundle for "buyer", send offer reduced as requested, send comment to check the offer sent to new bundle, see that she's active, and then...wait for it....🦗🦗🦗. So, did you really love them??🤔😠🤬😤

Jan 11Reply

poshelot @stylewarrior don’t blame you one bit, I do the same exact thing. I just bought 3 items from one seller after liking over 16 of her items over the last 3 months, likes = sales. Sometimes I can’t afford the item, like it, wait a while, then realize maybe I don’t like it after all and remove my like. It’s totally harmless. I came to her page to share for share, now I have zero interest in doing so after seeing this.

Jan 25Reply

haleygall8 @poshelot as i hope you read through all the comments as well .. im perfectly fine with you having no interest in my closet or "share for share" .. and likes do not equal sales but keep with that same mind set if you like! AGAIN , this is my closet and how I choose to sell is up to me.. so DO NOT like items in my closet if its not something you are wanting to buy! Adios!

Jan 25Reply

thriftyjess22 Agreed! It’s so annoying. Just unlike the item if you have no intentions of purchasing. Also what’s the point of creating a bundle and never actually checking out? This is a platform to buy and sell. This is not Instagram lol a like to me means nothing if you’re not interested in buying.

Feb 22Reply

haleygall8 @thriftyjess22 right!!! I've gotten to the point of flat out telling people to remove their likes cause its so annoying! I dont even like items (heart them) on here .. if i see something i like or want .. I already know the highest price im willing to pay for it so I offer right then and there.. if we cant agree on something then I just keep it moving!

Mar 04Reply

haleygall8 @mahon66 hey there and welcome to posh! To be honest i don’t really know the exact answer to that but it’s really all dealing with being consistent. Keep your closet filled with different options for people to purchase. Go through and SHARE A lot even if it’s just one after another.. it will bring more people to your page and sharing your items as well. And follow away… the more people you follow the more options of people following back!

angelakarinn I like items, to create a library and come back and purchase when I'm ready. It's the only way to save items. Not everyone is a spontaneous shopper.

Mar 25Reply

shooting4stars I personally do it because I only get paid once a month so I like and bundle the items then when pay day comes if its in the budget ill get it or i will go back weeks to months back to that item if its still available and buy it some times at full price or ill put in my own offer and for me a lot of the offers that i put which is basically the original offer the seller gave me most don't even get responded to as a buyer so its frustrating as a buyer to. unfortunately only way PM allows you do so

re_findthreads People may not agree, but liking is actually helpful. I don’t go around liking things Willy nilly. BUT!! I have recently noticed a pattern. I’ve noticed that if someone likes an item in my closet, especially something that doesn’t get much attention, all of the sudden more likes follow in the next several hours. It’s no coincidence. So like away!!! It DOES trigger the algorithms and brings my items exposure!

ranelaghraleigh As a seller, I could not agree with you more. If I make a liker an offer at %70 off the posted price, why not buy it? What was the point??! However, as a buyer, this is why I can’t buy everything I like, lmao. For me it’s a cycle, I need sales to make purchases. Ultimately I guess for broke folk such as myself, liking is akin to bookmarking. But ultimately I agree, if you’re going to like, be ready to buy! Really enjoyed this 😆

cooky812 This is a seriously aggravating problem with the sellers. People just think the like button is a toy or a way to manipulate your price. Each time you offer them a deal, they don’t take it and you’re are stuck with having to reduce again another 10 %.

haleygall8 @cooky812 EXACTLY!! Its the most annoying part of this platform! And there is no way around it either...thats why I just started blocking people that never respond to offers or that will decline an offer without sending any kinda counteroffer back... at least that way it knocks a couple of people out of the way that liked the item for no reason! Also added a "final price" section where i no longer will send out offers its just set at the price to sell before i donate!

Apr 14Reply

cooky812 @haleygall8 Great idea about FINAL PRICE SECTION, think I might set a time limit,🤔then off it goes to the women’s shelter🥰

Apr 14Reply

haleygall8 @cooky812 exactly!! My limit is $8 cause after that it’s pointless for me to do the work and ship it out for anything less than $5 profit…. i much rather donate to women and kids in need then to profit $1 off a sale!!

cooky812 @haleygall8 I have been doing this since 2015, it was so much better and profitable. Just much too much effort into making it a good experience for the buyer for a token profit.

Apr 14Reply

haleygall8 @cooky812 i was thinking the same thing! I thought it was a lot more profit in 2018 when i joined

Apr 14Reply

jilster1014 I’ve given up trying to figure it out - I think people are looking for best deal and think they will get it I’ve stopped sending offers… I really hear your frustration mine is the same;)))

anythngsposhabl I don't have time to read all the comments above so I'm not sure if this was already mentioned...maybe I'm the only one in denial about the likelihood of loosing enough weight to fit in a few things I've liked in case they are still available when they will fit 🤣🤣

Apr 21Reply

haleygall8 @anythngsposhabl 🤣🤣🤣 honesty is way better then just ignoring! I wouldn’t mind if this was the reason but I’ve literally told someone before to “pick a price” and I would accept and they still couldn’t or wouldn’t do that!!

Apr 21Reply

anythngsposhabl @haleygall8 Yeah that would annoy me too!

Apr 21Reply

jas720 Agreed!!!!!!!!!

Apr 22Reply

haleygall8 @luvindove i wish poshmark would make some changes!! especially seeing this post alone has some many comments of people agreeing they HATE the same thing!! I honestly started blocking people... if you decline offers and make no attempt to counter offer (like you actually want to buy) then I just block the person. Saves me the head ache of sending out more offers with no responses and gets rid of people who really arent there to buy but more to give you likes like on Instagram!!

Apr 22Reply

jessicaevans051 Well… I personally like to browse and save looks I like for later. Also if I’m looking for something in particular I may like several “versions” of it to see who will give me the best deal. Sorry if this tactic causes any problems. I’m a seller too… live and let live! Peace!

velvetlane23 So glad I found this discussion. I thought it was just me wondering what's the point.

May 01Reply

raychill1314 People may simply like your item but not want to buy it. I understand that or there saving it to find later when they do want it.

May 10Reply

glitterwaffle I love it. You want me to make zero money? I’m just a human trying to supplement my household income. 🤷‍♀️

May 20Reply

jacksynmiller I'm so with you on this. Sooo frustrating!! Or why not counter offer instead of just declining the offer

Jul 16Reply

haleygall8 @jacksynmiller exactly!! Willing to take offers and counteroffers but people just want to use it as Instagram or their shopping cart to never buy

Jul 16Reply

katelynrolling Then reduce the price instead of making offers🤷🏼‍♀️

Jul 25Reply

haleygall8 @katelynrolling both are being done… thanks though 🤣

smartfindz because they are window shopping, they really don't have the money. And they most likely won't have it in the future. 😉

fran600 Well I’ve only been doing this a year and did not realize liking items was an issue! But I will continue to like items for various reasons- Plan on purchasing at a later date, shopping for a specific item to see who gives me the best price. Or I really want an item and it’s too expensive so I might like the item to watch it , maybe being reduced or sold. But I like that people are liking items in my closet and have no problem with it!Just saying -

Aug 12Reply

marcomm23 I was wondering the same. I purchase my items at a great price. Research what others are asking and make sure I am lower and reasonable. A win win I would think.

darlingtoo3399 GIRL….I HEAR YOU! 😂 OMG!!! You made my Day; Thank you. This is my # 1 🤕 Migraine. Shared a Bunch from your Closet. Happy Fall Season. 💕

darlingtoo3399 @almondjoyalso THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am getting an Education from your experiences and Candor. I feel Low Ballers are also aggravating. It’s Valuable Time to pack items and Travel to the Post Office. That Bundle Story is Insane!😱

Sep 16Reply

almondjoyalso @darlingtoo3399 I don't waste time on lowballers, or 'ghost' Poshers who lowball from new/empty closets, to sell in their fully stocked closets at huge profits. It infuriates me how they want my new items at huge discounts, while they list their old/worn thrift store items at outrageous prices.

Sep 16Reply

almondjoyalso @darlingtoo3399 Daily, I recieve offers for $10 off an $18 listing that's new, netting me $7.05 after Poshmark fees. Sorry, it's NOT happening, when I paid more than $8 for the item.

Sep 16Reply

darlingtoo3399 @angelakarinn 👋 👋 👋 I HAVE a SOLUTION!!!! Just Take a “Screen Shot” PHOTO using your 📱 Phone of Any Item you want and will Buy when you get the Funds. Make Sure you get All the Info: Item & Price CLOSET NAME ( in the Screen Shot ) 📱 EASY!!! When You have the Funds, go to your Photo Library, Find the Picture with Poshmark Closet NAME and See if the Item is Still Available. HAPPY POSHING! My Photo Library is Packed with Photos…OMG 😂

thescarlettseam The only reason I like items is so I can show my husband and let him know what I would like for Christmas but now that he has his own poshmark I just share the listing with him.

mommyof2galz Can I please use this gym and I do want to buy that 3X Cleveland jacket when I get the money I want to buy it for my husband because I’ve never been able to get him a birthday gift for Father’s Day gift or a Christmas gift and I think that he would like that a lot and he’s gained quite a bit of weight, and I’m guilty of the same, but I think he would really like that

yogasoul_fm I’m new to Posh so trying to learn the etiquette. 😊

nestrada42 I totally agree ! Also why do people like then unlike the like again for days why UGH TROLLS

Jan 03Reply

nestrada42 I also get annoyed when people put ONE of my items in a bundle but have no intentions of adding any more items to make a bundle offer. I remove the 1 item from the bundle only for them to put it back why ugh

sellinski This is a great thread. Thanks for asking the question. I am on the same page as you. I do appreciate the other points of view. Again, thanks for posting this.
