Like anywhere else, there are plenty of scammers on Poshmark. I hope these guidelines are helpful as you shop on this platform, especially for designer items.
If there's something not mentioned here, please comment below. I will strive to keep these cards updated as suggestions come in.
This post is about how to safely shop on Poshmark. I’ll create another post soon on how to safely sell. Stay tuned for that.

I am so tired of seeing Chanel jewelry offered with authentication cards in the photos. chanel jewelry does not come with these cards.

all the new poshers also have odd names. if it doesn't make sense, most likely they're not legitimate.

My buyer cancelled the order after the item shipped...what do I do?

I also noticed that these listings are from people who “Just Joined” in March 2021

@kristenfry package intercept ASAP. More info here: https://www.usps.com/manage/package-intercept.htm. If you're eligible for it, hurry and do it before the package gets delivered. There is a fee for this so depending on the value of your package, you can decide if it's worth doing. I know it sucks to pay to intercept your own package, like you're buying your own stuff back. Don't give up or get discouraged. Good luck.

Urghh. I lost my common sense. I fell for a classic scam- new seller, one item listed and strange user name. The item was shipped out and it was suppose to be delivered today than I got this message from usps:
Your item was returned to the sender because the addressee was not known at the delivery address noted on the package.
Does this mean the sale will be automatically cancelled since I never received it? Or do I still have to fight for a refund?
Thanks in advance.

@ricedoll that’s a new scam I have noticed. So posh will give you a refund bc it wasn’t delivered & they will also release the money to the seller as well.
elisamonice84
@kristenfry did you not mark it shipped on here?
graycart
this is getting so ridiculous, i’ve been religiously reporting them but poshmark isn’t doing much or there are too many because I still see them
lisoro
@ricedoll so sorry to hear that. Contact Poshmark right away and explain what just happened. If you never received your item and you have the USPS message as proof that it was returned to sender, then you'll get your refund. Good luck!
ricedoll
Thanks for the advice. I have reached out to support to let them know what had happened.

Great post! I’ve seen so many people get scammed by sending their money to a seller via ven. mo when in reality the seller does not have the item and has stolen the pictures of said item. If you’re ever going to take a purchase off Poshmark make sure it’s with a reputable seller and you have some sort of protection ie buying via another reputable app, or paying via p.p: goods and services.
ricedoll
@lisoro thanks again for your advice. I’m happy to say that I was refunded by Posh.
ricedoll
@elisamonice84 I got a refund through Posh. I saw that the listing for the item was completely removed from the site.

@ricedoll I’m glad it worked out for you 🤗

I ordered shoes, they claim to have delivery them I have yet to see them, in record time I might add, but as soon as it was listed as pending acceptance the seller deleted the post. I contacted Poshmark and explained, they said they are looking into it. This has never happened to me b4, I hope they will refund me, but I fear they may have paid the seller already since now it is marked as Delivered....ughhhhh

@allblacbarbie PM does not pay the seller until you officially “accept” the package.
allblacbarbie
@colleena_ whew!! Thanks

Being new I see why when I ask for more info no one answers me. I guess this site is only for those who are not new. Just because a shopper is new doesn’t mean it’s spam or a scammer

Great suggestions. @meganwellman924 and I have been calling these accounts out and now we are being retaliated against. Be careful.
bookmart
@princessatsea right?!!
ashleysea206
I’ve seen so many that say ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️seller and TRUSTED SELLER When it’s a brand new account with zero sales or reviews. 🤦🏼♀️ And it’s becoming harder and harder to find authentic items because now even pm ambassadors and long time sellers are selling fakes. I’ve given up on buying anything valuable on here.

Thank you for this. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
