Attention all Poshers! There are scammers who try to buy items off Poshmark (violates Poshmark's policy). If someone:
- Has a bare account with no
closet, bio, account pic, etc
(a pattern I've noticed)
- Asks if the item authentic
- Asks for more pics/info emailed or
texted
If emailed, they'll ask to use alternative payment (ex cashier's check) which might not be legit & even commit fraud when retuning purchased items. Be safe & please share this post🥰

I’m glad you made one too. I got scammed last week. Buyer purchased a brand new handbag, opened a case against me and said it wasn’t what I said ( keep in mind it was brand new). I agreed for them to return it to me. When I received the package it was a box full of paper!!!! I went back and looked at their info, brand new account, no picture or anything. The funny thing is they crossed out their shipping address on the return box. Now I am a little more cautious as to whom I sell to.

Thank you for posting this as I have had this happen a few times & just responded that all transactions must be done on Poshmark. They don't reply after that.

Thank you so much for having our backs. Good looking out!!

We got several of those same requests - usually on our more expensive items. We ignore them and report their username

Yes thank you for taking the time to post so others know :D
rosmassre
@laurenpar9 , the transaction was made through Poshmark. I don’t even reply to people who ask to email them on the side🙃

Unethical to sell a Poshmark item on the side without compensating Poshmark. However there should be a problem with selling items you never posted on Poshmark, correct?
keri_strawberri
@rosmassre wow that's horrible! Does poshmark assist since they clearly did not return the item, or are you out that money?
rosmassre
@keri_strawberri , out of the money and the bag😩
rosmassre
@heightshike , correct!
keri_strawberri
@rosmassre omg that’s horrible 😤 I thought the 20% commission we pay is for them to protect us. I will have to rethink who I sell to.
rosmassre
@keri_strawberri , sadly, I now do☹️

If you post something on Poshmark, find a buyer on Poshmark then sell it on the side to that customer without compensating Poshmark then you’re risking the well-being of the very organization that helps you sell. Shady and ungrateful

@beautyfromash5 , I did. I sent them pictures of the shipping label on the box that was sent to me, along with pictures Of only paper they sent back to me in the box.

@hillmill61 thank you! it is pretty bad how people are trying to get you!
it did happened to me when I first started, but it looked sketchy so I didn't fall for it( sent me an email, and offered more money).I reported it. Must be on the look out at all time! I will share it.

@rosmassre makes sense. I’m selling big items like furniture so I’m doing several but once I’m done with that I will stick with Poshmark as well.

@bridgetsbeauty because we’re new PFFs and you’re new to Posh, here is some valuable information
bridgetsbeauty
@txgratitude Thanks for this helpful information! I have had a few ask for me to email them, but I ignored it since it seemed they were trying to get my email information, or propose an off-site sale, which is not how this works. They said they wanted more photos, but I could just add them to the item if that's what they truly needed!
