I POSTED THIS BANNER RIGHT AFTER THE LIVE SHOW ROLL OUT WHICH WAS NOVEMBER 2022.. I STILL HATE LIVE SHOWS AND WILL NOT PARTICIPATE, WHICH IS MY CHOICE AND SHOULDN'T CAUSE SALES TO DIE.. I'M A SMALL CLOSET, THIS IS NOT HOW I MAKE A LIVING AND HAVE NO PLANS OF EXPANDING. I SELL ITEMS FROM PERSONAL CLOSETS THAT ARE NO LONGER WANTED.. SOME NEW AND SOME PRE LOVED. I REALIZE MANY RESELL TO MAKE A LIVING SO, SINCE THE MANY MONTHS THE LIVE SHOWS ROLLED OUT, IT'S "ALLEGEDLY" NOW QUICK AND EASY TO GAIN LIVE ACCESS. JOIN A POSH AND SIP TO GET BUMPED UP IN LINE (THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY NOT ME) IF UR NOT COMFORTABLE ACTING A FOOL LIKE MOST OF THEM, DO SILENT SHOWS TO BUMP UP UR ALGORITHM AND GAIN MORE TRAFFIC IN UR CLOSET. I GET PEOPLE WANT TO UNITE AND COMPLAIN, I WAS ONE OF THEM, BUT THATS SOMETHING EVERYONE DID LAST YEAR. IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS. AND UNFORTUNATELY LIVES ARE HERE TO STAY..AGAIN, LET ME BE CLEAR, I LOATHE THE LIVE SHOWS. THEY'VE ATTRACTED SKETCHY SELLERS AND SKETCHY BUYERS, BUT LETS TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT.

katebreen13 No kidding I started my closet about a month before the shows started The first month was great and then crickets there will be a lot off us sitting on stock this season I wish I’d known this was going to be the direction they were going 😞

Nov 22Reply

katebreen13 It’s almost like some sellers have their own channel!!!

Nov 22Reply

playitagainpm @katebreen13 That's a really great point! This isn't QVC or HSN

Nov 22Reply

playitagainpm @katebreen13 I'm so sorry! if it makes you feel any better, many of us with established closets are going thru the same.. sales just stopped. people now expect items to be sold at $3 and $5..

Nov 22Reply

katebreen13 Yeah I know I imagine many poshers have invested a lot off time and money in their holiday closets and are sitting on a lot of stock perhaps this is not the best time off year to test this with a small exclusive group of poshers

Nov 22Reply

playitagainpm @katebreen13 My items are from my personal closet.. I've reached out to PM but no real response..

Nov 22Reply

katebreen13 @diane_valdez Hmmm

Nov 22Reply

katebreen13 It becomes more about being a “PERSONALITY ” to sell I watched a girl run an auction from inside Walmart or target out of a shopping cart! It was insane lol

Nov 22Reply

playitagainpm @katebreen13 Ya know if PM is going to let people have their own shows than make them pay a monthly fee.. this is a reseller platform.. I believe people were taking in the sales before.. I was understand things change BUT when these changes bring negative results for most, it's a bust..

Nov 22Reply

sunnymar I agree

Nov 24Reply

playitagainpm @sunnymar I'm sending ridiculously great offer to all likers and NOTHING.. very upsetting

Nov 24Reply

sharonposher I think the live shows are a good idea; however, they should be rotated so everyone can do one if they like. Instead there are the same sellers on almost everyday.

Nov 26Reply

playitagainpm @sharonposher it's never a good idea when it causes a negative effect.

Nov 26Reply

sharonposher @diane_valdez We can all have our opinions. It’s a good idea if they did it so there is a positive affect for everyone who wishes to participate; if you don’t then you don’t. 😊

Nov 26Reply

playitagainpm @sharonposher MY opinion on MY post..

Nov 26Reply

tauniakellerby I started cross-listing everything on two other platforms. My PM sales almost totally died. I'm having much more success elsewhere. I'm so bummed because PM was my favorite.

Nov 29Reply

playitagainpm @tauniakellerby I'm so sorry ur going thru this too! This was such a great platform.. I cross listed a few items on another platform too but shipping is very confusing.. PM was what I called an affordable The Real Real.. praying it all gets better❤️🌹

Nov 29Reply

tauniakellerby @diane_valdez I'm praying it gets better too. PM does make shipping easy but if you ain't selling anything... You get used to the shipping on other platforms, it just takes a minute. Basically, if it's over a pound, it's gotta go priority (or parcel post). Good luck to you ❤

Nov 30Reply

playitagainpm @tauniakellerby I guess I was just spoiled here in PM with shipping . It's easy peasy. Thank u so much! I pray everything settles and gets some normalcy back in terms of sales. Wishing u many sales❤️🧑‍🎄

Nov 30Reply

tauniakellerby Same to you! 🙏🧡✨

Nov 30Reply

janus660 I hope everyone shared this when they were asked to survey!!! Totally agree & I’m not one to do live shows unfortunately..

Dec 05Reply

playitagainpm @janus660 I wasn't granted access and have no desire to go live. I have noticed the live shows don't really show up in my feed anymore.. honestly if it ain't broke don't fix it.. if people wanna go live they can sell on tik tok.. PM is still getting their 20%. I hope people completed the survey.

Dec 05Reply

bohobargains4u My sales have gone to about zero since the live shows started. I was already giving away my items at below-bargain prices. I am not happy they did not allow everyone to do the live shows. I am a posh posh ambassador II since the live shows my sales have gone to about zero. If they do not change this platform back to way it use to be without live shows. I will delete my closet.

Dec 08Reply

playitagainpm @bohobargains4u I'm so sorry! I wish PM would listen to the majority of sellers. No one should be going thru this especially a PM ambassador ll!! try another platform. The one that begins with an M. I tested the waters and I've had good luck there so far. Test it and see what happens.. DON'T GIVE UP!!❤️❤️

Dec 08Reply

bohobargains4u @diane_valdez Hi, Thanks for the advice I went through the whole set up process only for them to tell me my CC was not allowed on the M site. I guess maybe I should get a pre paid card. Not sure. Thanks anyhow!

Dec 08Reply

inestrad yesssss I don't like it 😔

Dec 20Reply

playitagainpm @inestrad it's all very sad!

Dec 20Reply

inestrad @diane_valdez but we can do to let them know we are not happy, I supposed just was me

Dec 20Reply

playitagainpm @inestrad They're well aware the majority aren't happy but doesn't look like it's going to change

Dec 20Reply

jbobeenie SAME!!! UGH. There must be a solution to help us regular sellers. I do like watching the live shows for entertainment - but I have to say some of the live shows are great and some are awful.. like terrible and almost embarasing to watch. I really think Poshmark needs to impose rules of how the shows are run and obviously they need to offer more training and somehow filter out the totally stupid ones. And people that are selling stuff for $3.....what is that? you make .05 cents.

Dec 22Reply

playitagainpm @jbobeenie if I want to be entertained I'd go to a movie.. PM is a shopping app. shop at ur own pace NOT A 30 SECOND AUCTION! a lot of sellers have TOO MUCH INVENTORY and want to get rid of it so they push $3 and $5..people will buy bundles of items.. At least that's what I think..I want nothing to do with live shows.. sell or watch

Dec 22Reply

jbobeenie @diane_valdez I 100% agree! I hope things get better for all of us .

Dec 22Reply

duganfamily Interesting comments. I agree totally. I am bombarded daily with communications about live shows. Some Poshers seem to have three or four shows a day. Ridiculous.😠 i’m just a part-time posher trying to downsize my closet after retirement. So my inventory is what it is. I can’t imagine what it would be like if this was a full-time endeavor

Dec 27Reply

kpcanada me to no sales, posh parties are killing my closet, exspecially when there selling everything for $5. the only one making any money is poshmark. i wish i new this before i built my closet.

Jan 08Reply

frankdonato75 My News feed is constantly clogged with Live show announcements 😖 I have zero interest—have not watched one and don’t intend to.

Jan 09Reply

playitagainpm @frankdonato75 I have no interest either, period!

Jan 09Reply

nychickcloset I agree 1000%! It's extremely unfair.

Jan 09Reply

nychickcloset @sharonposher It's only a good idea if all Poshers are able to go live, not just a select few.

Jan 09Reply

melson6971 @kelly7650 just had someone offer me $3 for a brand new Levi denim shirt. Thank you live shows for the low balling

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez same

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @jbobeenie exactly !! Live shows are killing us. I am a full time seller but I have my standards and refuse to do live shows !!

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 Block those people!

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez done !

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 Don't watch or buy from sellers with Live shows

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 good girl!!

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez I don’t watch live shows but great idea about blocking !!!

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 My husband does not let it get to him like I do. I’m just so angry that this is happening. It is hurting so many of us 🙁

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 I have no desire to go live BUT so many want the opportunity to do so.. I sometimes look at how many people are watching a show.. some will have 4 to 8 others maybe 15..The sellers that will showcase other closets items have over 100 people watching. They're so desperate to get an item shown.. Not worth it.. I'm not clear as to how PM chose the closets that they did.. I'm so sorry..Praying it gets better🌹

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez I’ll keep praying right with you. I also had not paid attention ( until I read the comments here) that some people are having multiple shows per day! When I was blocking is when I noticed it ! I used to love poshmark 😢

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 Yeah.. Some just sit and BS with people.. Some think they're TV stars and try to be funny and entertaining. Honestly, if these people are going to take up all this space then they should pay a monthly fee to go live!

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez oh my gosh, that’s a great idea !! Seriously, if they had to pay they would think twice about having a show and would not be selling items for $3 !!

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 EXACTLY!!! 😁

Jan 26Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez if you hear anything through the grapevine please let me know ! Thank you for chatting ! Nice to see others feel the same way !

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 ❤️🌹

Jan 26Reply

kpcanada @diane_valdez a few sales a week are no sales with the new shows, all these shows are doing is driving down the sell through rate on all are products, and the only one making anything is poshmark, what a stab it the back, exspecially with everyone whos been here since the beginning.

Jan 26Reply

playitagainpm @kelly7650 Such a great point!! Yes, how these people sell higher end brands for near nothing!! So people expect ALL sellers to sell that brand for the near nothing price the live shows sell them for.. THEY ARE DE VALUING BRANDS!!I

Jan 26Reply

funkyfindsga I just quit my job to be closer to my aging parents, found out my mother has breast cancer, my father had lung cancer. My Mom taught me reselling 35 years ago. She owned a consignment store & it’s always been my dream to own my own. It’s my passion to resell. I don’t want to go live. Live shows have changed a lifelong dream into a nightmare. I wish we could just go back to the way it was. I don’t need to make much to get by but I need to make something.

Jan 30Reply

playitagainpm @funkyfindsga I'm so very sorry! Don't give up ur dream..Continue listing and list on Mer****. They don't take so much from ur profits. I started listing there and I've had some sales.. I will keep you and ur parents on my prayer list

Jan 30Reply

awesluxury90210 I agree! No sales and low offers. buyers are bundling 12 items and offering $50. um no thanks. The best part of the low offers is they are Poshmark Ambassadors doing the low balling.

Feb 02Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez I stopped sending offers because I get no responses

Feb 02Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 I've sent great offers too on items that have lots of likes and like you, no bites.. I'm not giving up! Don't let these LIVE people win! not a lot of people watch these things.. VERY FEW showa get more than 20 watchers.. Don't give up!! keep listing.. You may want to consider Merc*** .. I've had some luck there.. Of course you have to lower item prices but they don't take nearly as much!

Feb 02Reply

awesluxury90210 @tauniakellerby pm was my favorite to but no sales drove me to other selling platforms. I have no interest in live shows. I do not sell items for $3

Feb 02Reply

awesluxury90210 @kelly7650 how does any seller make money selling items for $5?

Feb 02Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez I am already selling on there for months. I gave up on Poshmark

Feb 02Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 I have NO interest in LIVE selling either! I still think they should tack on a LIVE SHOW monthly fee for these LIVE sellers. I refuse to give up!! Sending all the best to you!!🤝🌹

Feb 02Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez they should lower our fees since we do not sell love.

Feb 02Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 They should!!! Great idea!

Feb 11Reply

missmansouri Telling each other we all agree won’t do anything to fix the issue. If Poshmark stays tell the company they making more money because people are doing live shows, they don’t care much losing other sellers, unless they get enough people to say they are leaving Poshnark. Got to get them where it hurts, in THEIR wallets! .They should care but, I don’t think they do .

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri @diane_valdez - not surprised!! They are probably making more money since they added Poshmark live shows.

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri Hate to start all over, on another platform to sell my items but, my sales have significantly dwindled since live shows started. I’m even making a lower offer than usual to “likers” and no response.

Feb 17Reply

playitagainpm @missmansouri Keep ur PM closet.. don't give up BUT start listing on Merc*** little by little... I was confused about shipping at first but I catch on quickly.. No, they don't care.. I came across a closet that does live shows that has counterfeit LV and YSL bags.. Not sure if she includes them in live shows.. I've reported to PM several times but the bags are still in her closet.. Hoping for the best for all of us!

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri @diane_valdez - thanks for replying. I guess Poshmark doesn’t really care, since they’re making money on everything that gets sold. Very unethical!! I guess, at the end of the day , they don’t really care. I’ll keep my PM closet but. look for other plat as well. Good luck to us all!!

Feb 17Reply

awesluxury90210 @missmansouri hello, I started selling on other platforms and do much better. Poshmark sellers only do good now if you sell on live shows or have a YouTube channel.

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri @awesluxury90210 - thanks for the reply . how many items did you already move to another platform? Same prices? Is it easy to build a following on the other platform? What platform did you go with? I really don’t have much time to deal with this which is why I am disappointed with what happened with my sales, since the live shows.

Feb 17Reply

awesluxury90210 @missmansouri The platforms start with e and m. you don't share items like Poshmark. I don't worry about followers on those, the algorithm is different on those. I have over 100 items on those

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri @awesluxury90210 - Thx for the info. I know which u r talking about. I’ll look into those. Hope your sales do well there!

Feb 17Reply

awesluxury90210 @missmansouri thanks. good luck

Feb 17Reply

missmansouri @diane_valdez - absolutely! I’m offering lower prices to likers than I ever have before, with no response. Can’t compete with the $3-8 designer items being sold during live shows!!

Feb 18Reply

endira88 Steady decline for me since they started and now sales are almost nonexistent. Very disappointing and stressful. Hope it get better for everyone.

Feb 18Reply

playitagainpm @endira88 Start listing on Merc***! I'm not interested in doing live shows nor will I support them BUT if you are, someone said you can request to do a show. It takes a few weeks or a couple weeks for PM to give access. Contact member support and see if they respond with direction on what to do.. I pray for all of us!

Feb 18Reply

endira88 @diane_valdez thanks and I do sell on there as well. I will never do a live show myself but may do a silent one only to see if it kicks up the algorithm if I ever get access. It said there’s a 16 week wait so it won’t be anytime soon lol

Feb 18Reply

playitagainpm @endira88 OMG! Someone said it was 2?! Still don't know what criteria was used to gain access to live shows nor did PM release any type of statement with the info.. Good luck..hope u get it silent I've show soon!🌹

Feb 18Reply

missmansouri @bohobargains4u - sad to hear you might delete your closet, even though you are a posh ambassador. I’m not an ambassador & my sales have nearly died. I’m looking into other platforms.

Feb 19Reply

missmansouri @nychickcloset - as far as I know, anyone can go live if they want to. I have no desire to go live, either! Live shows, with rock bottom prices, are killing my sales!

Feb 19Reply

missmansouri @janus660 - did they send out a survey to a random sampling? I never got one.

Feb 19Reply

missmansouri Just got a notification of a “live silent auction” of all jeans. Starting at $8. WTH? 👎Most sellers can’t compete with that. Terrible

Feb 19Reply

casualdays4ever Thanks for posting, I thought it was just me. These past few months have been very disappointing and frustrating. I've created an account on another platform... I can't sit back and wait. Wishing everyone the best. ❤

Feb 20Reply

playitagainpm @casualdays4ever Wishing you the best as well!

Feb 20Reply

missmansouri @kelly7650 - exactly. Poshmark doesn’t seem to care where they get their $ from. They are prob making more money with this “live show” capability. If Poshmark’s profit goes down, then they might rethink these live shows!! 👎

Feb 22Reply

melson6971 @missmansouri fees are lower on M so you make more money that way. It’s not as big as P yet but a ton of posters are moving their closets there because of these shows. So, as they grow, so will sales😊 So upsetting that P let it come to this! Jsmh

Feb 22Reply

bohobargains4u One thing I am doing is anyone I follow that is doing live shows I am currently unfollowing them. So I do not have all the messages about them. I am here for the closets not some live shows. Hopefully, the live shows will prove to be a flop in the long run!

Feb 23Reply

playitagainpm @bohobargains4u OMG.. Today is NOTHING BUT LIVE SHOW NOTIFICATIONS!! I hadn't experienced that since November!

Feb 23Reply

j_sjournry7774 Sales have never been this slow, There are just too many Posh Shows selling items so Cheap!!!

Feb 23Reply

playitagainpm @j_sjournry7774 I can't compete either.. I've always said it's the large closets that just over source and have loads of inventory they want to dump..But today EVERYONE has shows! I want nothing to do with it!

Feb 23Reply

j_sjournry7774 @diane_valdez The notifications are insane today

kimberlymeyer96 @j_sjournry7774 Came here to see if I wasn't the only one experiencing this😫

Feb 23Reply

playitagainpm @kimberlymeyer96 Nope.. These stupid notifications haven't been this bad since roll out... I wish they would separate live shows from closets.. DONT WATCH DONT BUY

Feb 23Reply

kalina721 This is very sad 😔. I've never had so many notifications as I have had in the last few hours...almost missed a bundle that someone created thanks to them 😠

Feb 23Reply

awesluxury90210 @j_sjournry7774 I was thinking the same thing! today is the worst day with live sale notifications! There are no sharing of items

Feb 23Reply

awesluxury90210 @j_sjournry7774 I love $3 starts! how do they make any money? I have zero interest in live shows

Feb 23Reply

awesluxury90210 @kalina721 wish we could block live shows

Feb 23Reply

kalina721 @awesluxury90210 That would be nice. I've turned off the show notifications but they still get through.

effielane So many of us looking this up. Today has been insane with live notifications. Frustrating - lives are killing sales 😢

Feb 24Reply

kalina721 97 notifications in less than 24 hours. yes, I wasted time counting them 😂

Feb 24Reply

katiemclendon7 @kalina721 i had almost 200 today— and that’s just for live shows! it’s ridiculous! i’m glad i found this post. i thought it was only me! i was like “am i being punished?!” it seems like the live shows slowed down for awhile after the initial launch and my sales picked back up (a little), but i see another sales drought coming… i think they need a separate app for shows only and leave this one for traditional sellers and buyers!

Feb 24Reply

kalina721 @katiemclendon7 wow! 200! and I thought I got a lot today. A separate app would be a great idea but that will never happen. Or at least a fee to hold live shows as someone else suggested.

Feb 24Reply

katiemclendon7 @kalina721 yes! that would definitely help! someone also mentioned not buying from them or even watching— i’ve never done either and won’t!

Feb 24Reply

awesluxury90210 @kalina721 today is ridiculous for live shows, super annoying. I missed comments and sales because the live shows take over my page

Feb 24Reply

kalina721 @awesluxury90210 I really hope this was just a fluke & not the norm from now on. 😕 I didn't miss any sales today but missed a couple of bundles that will hopefully lead to a sale or two. I've turned off the show notifications but they're still coming through.

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @kalina721 I'm glad people are seeing my post.. DONT WATCH DONT BUY

Feb 24Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez today is another day full of live shows

Feb 24Reply

montanacow_girl I’ve been selling on PM for a few years now. My dip in sales, especially this month, has been terrible! I actually took the time to count my live show notifications on my feed from the past 24 hours I had 601 !!!!! 😡 I’m beyond frustrated! Live shows are completely destroying comps and really hurting sellers! Cont.

Feb 24Reply

montanacow_girl @diane_valdez, Thank you for putting this up! I think every seller experiencing this should also either copy this, or create their own, & keep it as their first listing in their closet. The good news is that actually found this by searching on google because it’s a listing! 🤩 Maybe Poshmark will finally hear us through negative marketing! Lets flood the feed & web with, “YOUR SALES DIED TOO?” listings, because we need a solution to this mess!

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @montanacow_girl ur welcome to copy it and use it.. I had no idea it was on Google search... Yeah, PM doesn't care so all of this doesn't matter to them.. all I can say is DON'T WATCH DONT BUY. BTW there isn't a way for the live show notifications to be turned off. They are like the Party notifications.. They will come thru no matter what.. Best of luck

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 Yes, another day... DON'T WATCH DONT BUY

Feb 24Reply

montanacow_girl @diane_valdez Nope! Don't watch, don't buy. I know its tempting for some sellers to buy from shows to resell, but they're screwing themselves by lowering their own comps and lowering profits for all of us . And yes, .. any posh listing created will show up on a search engine like google, if the keywords you type are in your listing. Hopefully PM will at least separate those that want to do lives and those that don't. They don't blend well on the same platform rn! Best wishes to you too!

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @montanacow_girl AGREE!!!!!

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @biscuit77 Why are you answering for the seller?

Feb 24Reply

biscuit77 @diane_valdez if you're a top 5, then why aren't you doing live sales yourself?

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @biscuit77 I was not granted access nor am I interested. The live shows should not interfere sales for closets like mine or others like mine. but they are.. read the thread to gain insight. and yes, I am a 5 star top seller PM ambassador II..

Feb 24Reply

biscuit77 @diane_valdez I'm assuming you made a business out of reselling, why cant they?! I enjoy lives and really enjoy the ones where they have other people add to their tray to help out. I don't just watch lives to buy things, I scroll through hundreds of different listings a day, though I don't have to try and validate myself to you. you keep doing you and I'll keep doing me. 😒 🙄

Feb 24Reply

playitagainpm @biscuit77 . I'm glad u enjoy live shows.. lots of people do.. However, there are those that work hard for years building their closets and just choose not to do live shows. AGAIN, this choice shouldn't effect sales for these closets..I'm sorry ur unable to understand any of this and I don't know why you are getting involved in a question that was directed to someone else but ok.. congratulations on doing you.. I hope it all works out for you

Feb 24Reply

biscuit77 @diane_valdez bahahah coming from the lady who tagged and asked ME a question first, makes perfect sense. 🤣🤣

kimberlymeyer96 @diane_valdez I got mad & sent PM support an ugly-gram yesterday telling them the live notifications were a nuisance with no way to turn them off!Reply: "At this time newsfeed notifications regarding anything Posh Shows related cannot be turned off or changed". and "I am passing your feedback regarding Posh Shows notifications along to our development team for future considerations when it comes to updates". The have not been AS BAD today but tomorrow is another day!😆

awesluxury90210 did you all get the email today about Khalid's charity closet on Poshmark? just wait this will tank our sales even more.

Feb 27Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 I didn't see one.. PM usually has some celeb closet..they come and go.. anything to make $$.. what I did read somewhere is that due to the sale of PM a small percentage of staff was let go..I never received a formal announcement PM was sold..

Feb 27Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez ya it sold to Naver in January. not sure if that is good or not

Feb 27Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 a Korean company.. I believe it was them that wanted the whole live thing like tik tok... a lot of people peddling their stuff on tik tok .. nails, jewelery, counterfeit bags, make up, wigs, perfumes.. I don't understand how sellers are able to sell counterfeit items without getting shut down

Feb 27Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez because Poshmark only cares about the money. they don't care if the item is fake.

Feb 27Reply

playitagainpm @awesluxury90210 With this new Korean company I think counterfeit will be tolerated because a lot comes from there.. for weeks I've been reporting someone selling knock off LV and YSL bags but nothing has been done.. This person does have "NOT AUTHENTIC" but still they are knocks off..

Feb 27Reply

awesluxury90210 @diane_valdez as long as they make money, that is all they care about. They go by quantity not quality

Feb 27Reply

bohobargains4u I am all for anyone making money from a closet on a Poshmark. I am against the Live Shows due to the decrease in sales in my closet!

birdie55 Poshmark on the news just lay off employees wonder if posh shows sinking the platform

Feb 28Reply

playitagainpm @birdie55 They layed off a small percentage of employees here in the US so I'm assuming the San Fran office? It's because of the new owners of PM.. Read thru the conversations on this postings thread for more info

missmansouri @melson6971 - the low prices for beautiful, designer items being auctioned off on the live shows are crazy low! One guy was selling out of (what looked like) his retail bag .& jewelry store!!

melson6971 @missmansouri it’s like Poshmark is now an auction house !! They should change their name to just that !

Mar 02Reply

pjsattic The live shows are total BS. It's turning Posh into some third world flea market. The word "POSH" is supposed to mean high end.

Mar 06Reply

pjsattic @kimberlymeyer96 I unfollow anyone doing a live show. Stops the notifications.

Mar 06Reply

kimberlymeyer96 @pjsattic Thank you. I actually tried this 1st but ending up refollowing. When someone follows me or shares a listing I follow back. A live show creator mark on their profiles to let us know these things would be great! lol 🤪🤣

Mar 06Reply

carolsturgeon Since live shows began my sales have died. They were never lower than they were in February. I don't understand how sellers can sell things for $3 or $5 and make enough profit to compensate for the time and effort. Quality on Poshmark is tanking and some of the shows are very poorly done. I'm so disappointed and will stop selling if things don't turn around soon.

Mar 06Reply

playitagainpm @carolsturgeon start listing on Merc***

Mar 06Reply

carolsturgeon @diane_valdez I do. I've sold online since 2007. I've seen platform after platform change and cater to biggest sellers or allow sellers to undercut everyone else. Poshmark was one of my last hopes. Postage cost increases don't help either. I rarely buy online anymore because there are too many sellers who misrepresent what they sell. Too many poor quality items. It impacts those of us who pay attention to detail and stand by what we sell with integrity.

Mar 06Reply

playitagainpm @carolsturgeon Postage is a dirty word.. I just had an item from Merc*** post proceeds BUT with a postage adjustment which I had to pay for. Because the item was 2 OZ over the 1lb they charged me double of what the initial postage was.. this is the 2nd time it's happened.. although they don't take as much of sales proceeds as PM, it's the shipping that gets me.. Haven't had a sale here on PM in over a week

Mar 06Reply

carolsturgeon @diane_valdez I feel your pain. I know things change and that as sellers we have to adapt and change based on the market. When increasing costs and low ball sellers drive many of us out of business there isn't much we can do to compensate. I can't give things away and I can't absorb shipping costs. I'm considering finding a niche market but have to do some research. I'm tired of the struggle. Maybe it's time to quit. It was a great run while it lasted.

Mar 06Reply

playitagainpm @carolsturgeon Please don't quit.. I have faith

kimberlymeyer96 @pjsattic I was the same. I do not know if will work for you and maybe it is a coincedence but when I sent Posh a message about the lives, I have not had many since. A few a day. Hope it stays that way. Sales have definetely dropped since they started the lives.😕

Mar 07Reply

pjsattic @kimberlymeyer96 thanks for the tip. They’re even doing them during the parties. What is the logic? They should just do them once a day.

curatedbyketa I was wondering if others felt they were experiencing this. I’m ready to look elsewhere for a new platform.

Mar 08Reply

curatedbyketa @katebreen13 I watched one where the seller was walking through and selling directly from Goodwill.

Mar 08Reply

curatedbyketa @tauniakellerby Where have you been having good luck selling?

Mar 08Reply

tauniakellerby @curatedbyketa It varies. I sell on 3 platforms (eB, Mer, and PM) Sometimes PMis hot... sometimes eB is hot... sometimes Mer is hot.

Mar 08Reply

tauniakellerby @curatedbyketa I don't put all my eggs in one basket. I think that is key.

Mar 08Reply

curatedbyketa @tauniakellerby I occasionally sell on eB. And I used to on Ets and might start that up again. I’ve been a very part time hobby seller, but want to ramp up.

Mar 08Reply

tauniakellerby @curatedbyketa I'm really a hobby seller too although I have been listing a whole lot more lately. I have a full time job and list on both of my days off. I need a car! Mine is pretty old.

playitagainpm @bohobargains4u So so many on this thread have collectively given their voices!! We have to keep at it!!

Mar 11Reply

bohobargains4u @diane_valdez Yes we both have lost major sales in our closets. I am not happy at all being a Posh Ambassador II watching my sales go down almost 50% with me providing bargains on wonderful unique items. I am going to say this and anyone can light me on fire like they did the witches in Salem. If you want live shows the world currently has other social media platforms fo for that. Thank You for providing me with the M platform and your strong voice! :)

Mar 12Reply

bohobargains4u @alexchris_89 Yeah I found it turned the toggle button off. It worked a few days. Then all the sudden I am getting live show alerts again. I am researching to see if their is a new fix!

Mar 12Reply

alexchris_89 @bohobargains4u good because I’m not interested in their garage sale shows or notifications for them. It’s in poor taste on Posh’s part it can’t be turned off so those that aren’t interested don’t get their likes or offers lost in their unwanted notifications!

Mar 12Reply

bohobargains4u @alexchris_89 Open the Poshmark App: Go to notifications Scroll down until you see Posh Shows if the button is green it is on if it not green its off. After that you have keep scrolling all the way down in notifications. Keep scrolling all the way to the list and if you still Posh Shows make sure to turn toggle that one off as well. So far this is working for me. I will put a ad up in my closet with pictures if that will help you. You have to make sure you find both of the them for it work! :)

Mar 13Reply

alexchris_89 @bohobargains4u thank you:) I appreciate your response! I just looked in my notifications to make sure that both are toggled off and they are. I do still get them in my “news” on the app though and wish there was a way to get rid of the notifications too…

Mar 13Reply

bohobargains4u @alexchris_89 It makes me want to make a closet named Poshliveshowssuck. I feel the same way Diane does it has killed my sales. I I work hard to offer my items are bargains but now my sales have dropped so much I am now on the platform that begins with a M that Diane referred me too to try out. I am against to live shows there are only platforms that carter to live shows and videos.

Mar 13Reply

alexchris_89 @bohobargains4u I totally agree. I’ve been on Posh since 2016 and it’s just a side hustle but it’s really something I enjoyed doing. I did venture out to the “M” site a few years ago and also a “C” site where I also cross reference my items. Posh has always been my favorite but not anymore:(. I’m so disappointed and disheartened that this site has become a large live garage sale. I can’t compete with items going for $3 and $5. It’s not worth my time. This site has become a clown show tbh…:(

Mar 13Reply

bohobargains4u @alexchris_89 I agree 100%! When you add up the cost of gas, shipping materials, etc. I would be better off having a garage sale at home. I have always been good to my peers. I offer huge discounts on bundles. The lowest I use to go was $7 or $8. I have lowered my price to $5 with no shipping discount. I offered shipping discount when my sales were up.

Mar 13Reply

bohobargains4u I am a positive person but I am not one that thinks Poshmark made a positive move doing Live Shows.

awesluxury90210 @bohobargains4u . Hello, I haven't had a sale on Posh since Feb 27. live shows get orders because they give away items for free. good thing I have been listing on other platforms and making sales. live shows need to be separate just like wholesale is.

Mar 14Reply

bohobargains4u @awesluxury90210 I have been listing on other platforms as well. My sales have flat lined as well. I already provided great bargains. Like Diane says we have to Voice how we feel. So far the only solution to not get live shows notifications is to unfollow the person. I have tried methods they claim should stop them but they do not.

Mar 14Reply

awesluxury90210 @bohobargains4u nothing stops those annoying show notifications

playitagainpm @ree724 A question PM hasn't answered.. I have no idea

Mar 21Reply

kalina721 @diane_valdez A couple of weeks ago, I actually emailed PM asking to be put on the list. They emailed back that basically I wasn't qualified (PA 2, 5 star, etc. had my own jewelry store for 18 years). PM sent another email asking how satisfied I was with the first email so I let them know. (contin)

Mar 21Reply

kalina721 Then they said the waiting list is 16 weeks long & had me fill out an application with lots of questions. No word back if I was accepted. I don't think I have the guts (or time) to do lives but my sales are so down, I don't know what to do. Maybe get a part time job 🤔

Mar 21Reply

missmansouri Finally started switching my items to other selling sites Having much better luck there! My likes have almost stopped and crazy low ball offers, on Poshmark, since these live shows started!! Not a coincidence!

Mar 25Reply

playitagainpm @missmansouri I'm just doing what ur doing

Mar 25Reply

kalina721 @diane_valdez I started transferring some of my listings to the other site a few weeks ago but so far, nothing. The site just keeps telling me to lower my prices but they're already a lot lower than on here. I haven't had a sale on here in 15 days & getting very discouraged.

Mar 25Reply

playitagainpm @kalina721 I know which platform ur talking about.. I have stuff there too.. they take less out of ur sale but I do have to lower prices..the shipping has been tricky.. twice already I've had them deduct postage from my profit because I didn't charge enough postage.. I've had a few sales on Merc***

Mar 25Reply

melson6971 I now sell on three other re-sell sites and have created spreadsheets. In the month of March alone I have twice as many sales on the other sites than on Poshmark. Looking back on my spreadsheets there is a direct correlation to when live shows started. I’m not pushing Poshmark sales any longer and am starting to move away from listing new stuff on here.

Mar 27Reply

kalina721 @melson6971 If I may ask, which sites? I'm thinking one is M & maybe E? I finally got 2 sales over the weekend but hadn't sold anything in over 2 weeks, even after lowering prices. So discouraging 😞

Mar 27Reply

melson6971 @kalina721 yes, you are correct E and M . Downside to M is shipping went up and limited options for shipping. But, both sites take fewer selling fees.

Mar 27Reply

kalina721 @melson6971 Thank you. I've got some on M right now but need to work a little harder there. also look into the other. it's so frustrating because right about the time the lives started, I invested heavily in inventory (too heavily it seems) but on the plus

Mar 27Reply

kalina721 Hit send by accident- on the plus side, I'll have lots of new items to list. Thanks for your help & and I hope we all make lots of sales ☺️

Mar 27Reply

melson6971 @kalina721 it is frustrating ! I am so tired of having items marked down to $5 and people wanting for less. Poshmark cut on an item under $15 is $2.95. It’s not worth it ! I will take those items down soon here and only list on the other sites or donate to charity. Not worth my time and effort.

Mar 27Reply

jillian0404 I turned off all notifications. Some live shows still coming through however.

Mar 27Reply

lmnopearce Thank you!! I keep trying. My closet sales have plummeted. I keep popping in to these Shows to see what the fuss is about. To try and learn about doing one. And every time I have to leave almost immediately. They are torturous. No thanks!

Mar 28Reply

kalina721 @jillian0404 I turned off those notifications also but I'm getting more & more every day. I believe because I've followed a lot of those doing the live shows so unfollowing them will be the only way to stop those. Also there's one seller who has been doing 3-4 shows per day which is crazy.

Mar 28Reply

kalina721 @lmnopearce I've watched shows of people who I've gotten to know & communicate with on here & those shows are ok. But so many of the others are just an embarrassment. There's absolutely no quality control here

Mar 28Reply

jillian0404 @kalina721 I actually missed two offers as they were mixed in with hundreds of live shows last month. That's when I contacted poshmark support. They couldn't help so I turned off all notifications. Eventually went from hundreds a day to dozens. Now I am averaging about 10 live notifications a day. I also unfollow anyone doing shows. I'm still hoping that we will have a button in the app soon and can just toggle them off.

Mar 28Reply

lilithonyx111 I've seen a huge drop in sales and now embarrassingly low ball offers its ridiculous. Now everyone wants steak at baloney prices how are you supposed to compete. The site is turning into a garage sale. people who attend the shows see the majority of sellers selling M.k and Coach bags at 10$ buyers who do shop closets now expect to see ridiculously low prices and if they dont they move on to a closet that does. sellers who price there items at 5$ are bringing down the market value of the item.

awesluxury90210 @lilithonyx111 I have had no sales in a week! I have stopped listing on Poshmark

martadesign Agree that live shows r killing sales. mine are 70% down. poshmark will do nothing about it and will continue shows, it doesn't matter if an order is for 3 or 15, the will get their $3 fee and sales thru shows can't be cancelled,, and all the work is on the seller

Mar 31Reply

pjsattic Posh means high end. Posh’s tv commercial advertises them as a place to sell your pre-owned designer items. The live shows are garage sales. The public image does match the platform. Buyers won’t purchase anything that isn’t under $10.

88prettythings @diane_valdez I’ve read the comments here and agree! No sales for me in a long time! Poshmark seems to have become a live sale platform and that’s it. I will need to rethink my path. Maybe go back to the flea markets. If I’m going to give it away for 3 dollars, I might as well do it in person. Question: why/how are people selling other Poshers things in their shows? Are they making money to do that?

Apr 06Reply

missmansouri @martadesign - I don’t understand how sellers make money when they sell items for $3-8.00. in live shows. U barely make anything if you sell an item for $15. w/ discounted shipping (which u r forced to give) if you offer a 10% discount. 👎

Apr 08Reply

missmansouri @melson6971 - I’ve unfollowed all people doing live shows. I still get notifications about their live shows! 👎. I toggled turn off notifications about live shows. Still showing ! WTH??

Apr 08Reply

missmansouri @diane_valdez I don’t understand why live show sellers are selling other peoples items either. I popped into a couple of live shows. for a minute or two. Most of the presenters are awful.Poshmark doesn’t give a crap! They are probably making more money (in volume ) even though prices are rock bottom or they wouldn’t be having live shows.

Apr 08Reply

melson6971 @missmansouri I am having the same problem ! I think that only the people you unfollow don’t show yo in your feed. It’s like a full time job ! I followed all the steps and it didn’t work. So frustrating!!

Apr 08Reply

poshsalesgirl @diane_valdez I am totally with you. This platform has been destroyed. I spent years building up my shop and reputation on this site. Now it does ZERO good to share items and help promote one another - that was part of the premise of this site. Im also frustrated as a buyer. The search algorithms are so messed up that it’s impossible to find what I want. FED UP. 😒

Apr 08Reply

poshsalesgirl @missmansouri absolute truth!

Apr 08Reply

poshsalesgirl @88prettythings They don’t make money by offering other people’s items. The reason they do it is to draw bigger crowds to the sale. The other person has to be present at the sale in order for their item to be featured, so the person running the show has another potential buyer for their own items. The concept is interesting, but Poshmark has been destroyed. So much for sticking to their core.

Apr 08Reply

playitagainpm @poshsalesgirl Yeah, the search algorithm is waaaayyy off!! I really feel ur frustration and I'm so sorry.. The devaluing of some higher end items is horrible!!! I see alot of counterfeit items, too.. When I started 5 years ago, my intention was to clear my closet.. Many closets are lively hoods that are just destroyed.. Please don't give up.. sell on other platforms but keep this closet as well.. We need more people to follow my golden rule.. "DONT WATCH DONT BUY"

Apr 08Reply

88prettythings @poshsalesgirl thanks much for the input. I had no idea how that all worked. The few shows I have watched ( trying to get a handle on it) just confused me even more! Maybe buyers will get tired of the ‘shows’ format. I still have not made a sale, it’s about a month now, not even an offer, which I pretty much accept all offers. Any way to discourage the growth/expansion of this ‘new’ Poshmark, count me in.

Apr 09Reply

88prettythings @poshsalesgirl My closet is entirely my personal & family’s items.I have not made an investment on inventory like so many PM sellers have done. I just want to pass along items that no longer fit or I do not need anymore.I accept most & past offers have been reasonable. shows selling at 3-5 $? After PM fees, it’s not worth cost of wrapping, card, gift & tape for shipping! I have much more to list but I’m holding off. I feel terrible for all of you out there with large inventory investments.

Apr 09Reply

kalina721 @diane_valdez Found this article online at Glossy.co - "Poshmark Introduces Livestream Shopping Tool for Sellers" 4/5/23. "Posh Shows allows any user to livestream their closet's items with a live auction. People without official Poshmark closet listings can also sign up and start listing pieces for sale in real-time." ANY user? No official listings? Really? There are other similar articles from the last few weeks on different sites.

missmansouri I’ve been unfollowing people who have live shows. I thought I wouldn’t be notified about their live shows, if I wasn’t following them anymore. I am getting notified about every live show, even if I stopped following them. Has anyone noticed that too? Thanks.

Apr 10Reply

kalina721 @missmansouri yes, tons of them. mainly from people I do not follow, even with notifications turned off. Yesterday, I missed a great offer on something I had liked because of all those notifications. I didn't miss any notifications for sales, though. 😂 because I'm not getting any.

Apr 10Reply

missmansouri @kalina721 - I totally understand the frustration! Can u go back to the seller and ask them if they can make the offer again, if it expired? I’m getting so few likes - my discounted offers are good. People are looking for rock bottom prices now, since the live show comps threw everything off!

Apr 11Reply

missmansouri @pjsattic - it’s more like bargain basement now! 👎

Apr 11Reply

missmansouri @pjsattic - I’ve unfollowed everyone doing a live show but, still I get a notification for their live shows. What did u do? I have my notifications of live shows turned off. I unfollowed everyone doing one..

Apr 11Reply

missmansouri @curatedbyketa - outrageous! 👎

Apr 11Reply

missmansouri @bohobargains4u - turning off the notification of live shows toggle doesn’t work. 👎PM doesn’t care. I guess they are making more money with live shows ??

Apr 11Reply

pjsattic @missmansouri I unfollowed a bunch and it seemed to help. Now I only get two or three notifications a day. Before I was getting 10 an hour. It was totally ridiculous. I don't fault anyone for trying to make a buck but come on.....

Apr 11Reply

missmansouri @pjsattic - glad it worked for you! Unfollowing poshers having live shows isnt doing anything for me. I am still getting notices about live shows from people I clearly unfollowed. 👎.

Apr 11Reply

dianeovrgrd @diane_valdez totally agree!!

Apr 13Reply

shoregirl73 @missmansouri make sure if you unfollow, you have to unlike any items you’ve liked as well. Once you’ve done that, you won’t see their show listings in your feed. It’s ridiculous that we have to spend so much time just to stop this craziness in our feed!

Apr 13Reply

shoregirl73 @dianeovrgrd 💯 on board with this BS!!!!

Apr 13Reply

missmansouri @shoregirl73 our words& complaints mean nothing to Poshmark - I guess they are making more $ since live shows started! They dint seem to care how many sellers are jumping ship, to other platforms. 👎🤬 if it hit the bottom line, they’d care.!

Apr 13Reply

dianeovrgrd @missmansouri It might take a little bit of time but it will affect them eventually!!! They need a separate app for live shows and separate it from the existing platform.

Apr 13Reply

aquamariya This is so true! When I first started using Poshmark in 2016, I received a decent amount of likes, comments, sales, and just general activity on my account (despite having terrible pictures, lol 😅). Even though now I put more work into my account, the output doesn’t reflect that, and I feel like my account and many others are unfavorably buried by the algorithm. Not a fan 👎🏼

Apr 14Reply

dishie28 I am so disappointed in Poshmark, and so sick of all the posts in my newsfeed about shows!!!!!

Apr 17Reply

k_pannullo I’m 💯💯💯 w/ you! This is why most of the veteran Posher’s that I know (myself included) have moved away from Posh & begun to focus on other platforms. Who can blame them?!? We’ve hung on long enough! This is all normal for the newbies….this is what they were introduced to, & is all they know. Hence, why bargain basement $$ are expected (& on occasion, even demanded) when normally shopping in closets.……..

Apr 17Reply

k_pannullo (CONT’D)……This is beyond unfair for Posher’s who have items in their closets which cost them some serious $$$ in the 1st place out of their own pockets. Why would they sell this merch for $10-20? It’s all absolutely ridiculous, & will only continue to get worse.

Apr 17Reply

k_pannullo I want the old PoshMark back! 🙌👍🙌 THANK YOU so much for being light to this subject 💖

playitagainpm @k_pannullo I think we all want the old poshmark back!! I'm in no way interested in going live but so many she and unable to do so.. Don't watch Don't buy is what I've been doing.. I noticed a BIG TIME PM SELLER that I follow on the gram is now pushing her wn closet.. That platform is ALL LIVE SELLING.. I mean, there's so much potential with the new owners perhaps having 2 platforms.. POSHMARK LIVE AND POSHMARK..it would be a win win for everyone!!

Apr 17Reply

kimberlymeyer96 @diane_valdez I agree with this. Needs two seperate platforms. I do not mind watching live shows for boutiques I shop with on their separate apps. I did not start my poshmark hobby for this. It is like for each one I unfollow with a live notification, they feed more in my notifications lately.😡

holliekr I am so happy to see this- glad someone is hopefully bringing it to their attention. I thought it was just me who was thinking it had gone down hill.

giftoftheeagle Also how are these people buying name brand new stuff and selling for 15 if they are lucky?

Apr 20Reply

giftoftheeagle The thing about live shows is they take some serious time and effort to prepare and then the actual selling. i watched a show go on for what seemed like about 4 hours. i would just check on it from time to time, yep still going. And now Posh is suddenly a full time job! This is not what I wanted at all!

sweetieprincess Getting spammed all day every day with posh show live notifications on my news feed is just beyond ridiculous. I barely open the app now it’s annoying. GONNA TAKE TOO LONG TO UNFOLLOW 59,000 PEOPLE. Look at all the sellers that agree on this post. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM A POSH SHOW. I WILL NEVER WATCH ONE. Thanks for making this listing.

Apr 20Reply

themaggy WHO has time to watch all these 'live shows'? I have nearly given up on Poshmark for both shopping and selling. The news feed being inundated with LIVE event news is such a drag. I have no interest or time to deal with a live show and will never make a purchase this way.

Apr 20Reply

audibert Agree since live auction started my sales dropped and are now down to zero for the last 2 weeks. I'm sure poshmark is not making any money either.

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco Selling items at $3 and $5 is devaluing another people items and I don’t know what profit anyone is making from that nonsense. What profit is Poshmark getting from that nonsense? It is also messing up comps when buyers check for similar items and see it was previously sold for $5 or $10 they expect other sellers to offer them a lower price. It’s just so annoying and is completely destroying reselling on Poshmark!

Apr 20Reply

tlsee4u I can’t stand the live shows or the “auction”. If I want to auction my clothes I would choose a different company to sell them through. Now I have other poshmark sellers that offer me the biggest lowball offers just so that they can turn around and sell it for $3 on their shows. Its turned into a live podcast and not even about selling anything. My sales have tanked tremendously or any offer that I get is not even worth the hassle.

Apr 20Reply

playitagainpm @audibert I wonder if the live shows are bringing in more revenue than just closet surfing. Are live shows making up $$ for ALL THE CLOSETS THAT DIED? Good question!

Apr 20Reply

playitagainpm @ujeanco and that's been the complaint from the start.. I'm with you!

Apr 20Reply

playitagainpm @tlsee4u YOU hit the nail on the head!!! Someone .entitled who has time to watch live shows???

Apr 20Reply

tlsee4u @ujeanco I agree. I get lowball offers from sellers who want to resell my items on their show for $3. (I know because I see these “likers” hosting their shows when it pops up every 5 minutes on my feed). Poshmark really shot themselves in the foot with this feature. It’s a joke.

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco @diane_valdez I am with you too. Thanks for posting your initial comment about live sellers devaluing this platform sales for everyone. Nobody said you can’t sell some items at a lower price but some of us spend money for the items we resell and not everyone goes to thrift stores and buy items for $1 or$2.

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco Some of actually buy things for more to resell and the value is going down every single day with the live dollar store sales. I mean this site is called Posh… for a reason but it seems to be losing it Mark… these days!!!

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco @tlsee4u the constant live notifications is a bit annoying especially when one seller comes on three or four times in one day. WHY? 🥺

Apr 20Reply

playitagainpm @ujeanco GREAT COMMENT!!

Apr 20Reply

playitagainpm @ujeanco YOU can't buy anything from thrift stores for $1 or $2 anymore.. Resellers drove prices up. the sellers that are selling items so cheap are coming from palettes, dirty bins at the goodwill (this where thrift stores send unsold inventory).. there's enough $$ to be nade by all but some are just greedy

Apr 20Reply

tlsee4u @ujeanco your right. It’s super annoying! It must be nice to have that kind of time to host several shows a day. Sometimes everyday. I’m starting to block these people because it’s so intrusive. Have you seen some of these shows? Sometimes they are rambling about nothing and not even selling clothes. It’s on online podcast or like YouTube.

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco @diane_valdez I certainly can’t get anything for $1 or $2 in my NYC thrift stores. We pay up for items here in NYC. Hopefully Poshmark is paying attention! 🥰

Apr 20Reply

tlsee4u I’m wondering if the powers that be at Poshmark are aware or even care that it is creating such a divisive situation. That in order for you to have your own show you have to be an “ambassador”. I’m just trying to make a $ here and there. Not become a poshmark celebrity. PM has really taken a wrong turn.

Apr 20Reply

ujeanco @tlsee4u Agree… let’s hope Poshmark is paying attention because on Reddit people are complaining even more!

Apr 20Reply

tlsee4u @ujeanco yes, I saw that. I’m glad that we are not the only ones bringing up the dislike of the shows. Excuse me while I go block about 3 more people who are all having shows right now. It popped up in my feed..,,🙄

rbw7683 I dont know, but I thought it was just me. 😬I’m dying here, priced all my stuff way lower and can’t make a sale to save my life. Have closets full when I restocked up right as the live shows were unleashed. I will never buy from one. Horrible.

Apr 27Reply

tlsee4u @rbw7683 Same here. In the event that I do receive an offer, it is a ridiculous lowball offer on stuff that is already discounted. I look at their pages and they are all from ambassadors who have live shows.

Apr 27Reply

playitagainpm @tlsee4u Well, I am a PM ambassador II, but by the looks of it, that means squat.. I have no interest in doing live shows. I know some out there are still waiting for access. What I don't understand is how people with 100 or 200 listing are already going live or closets with 30p listings are already ambassador II's.. so.e live closets have become slimey. if I get an offer, I check if they do live shows, and if they do, I won't sell. DON'T WATCH DON'T BUY

Apr 27Reply

playitagainpm @rbw7683 Some live sellers are slimey.. on another comment, so closets with 100 and 200 listings already going live.. I have no interest going live.. it's all become such a s*** show for those not going or opting not to go live..honestly PM has become a platform with people selling JUNK

Apr 27Reply

rbw7683 @diane_valdez total truth! It’s not right. I wish pm would realize it’s hurting literally everyone’s sales - even live shows can’t make sales that are selling other people’s crap! It’s too much!

Apr 27Reply

playitagainpm @rbw7683 Amen! Don't watch Don't buy!

giftoftheeagle @diane_valdez I too am being low balled. I haven't received a decent offer this year, because of the live shows, just low balls!

giftoftheeagle poshmark has made selling a Job rather than a side hustle. It takes quite a bit of time doing Posh Live Shows, so you might as well be working a job, its the same thing now.

Apr 28Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle For MANY, reselling is their main source of income, so,yes, it is a job. It takes a lot of work to source, photo, and list even as a side hustle WITHOUT DOING LIVE SHOWS. This post is about sales dying because of live shows. I personally have no interest in doing lives, BUT so many are still waiting for access. in the meantime, you have closets with a mere 100 listings that are going live.

Apr 28Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle It's a shame the new PM owners don't split PM into 2 platforms. Poshmark LIVE and just Poshmark

Apr 28Reply

twisted_ivy @diane_valdez How can you check if they do live shows? I currently unfollow any that do to free up the news feed, but I would like to know BEFORE I follow them. I know they have a banner on the bottom of their closet when they are about to go live or are live...is that the only way?

Apr 28Reply

Apr 29Reply

dreamgems4ever @diane_valdez thank you! I sent this email (copy below) to posh expressing my disappointment. I am extremely disappointed that all the changes Poshmark has made. Seems to me that whatever these $5 live shows are all about is creating a major "flea market" junk yard sale approach and makes no financial business sense for Poshmark. It was great while it lasted but I'm taking my 300k Followers and finding a new journey

Apr 29Reply

playitagainpm @dreamgems4ever I sent a couple of those emails, too.. perhaps they want younger people selling? like on ttk or turn it into a live garage sale like wtn. I can't mention the platforms here. it's all about the bottom line, and maybe these live shows are making more $$, which I doubt.

Apr 29Reply

playitagainpm @dreamgems4ever There are more non livers, so making $$ lies with us, BUT THEY WANNA ROLL WITH THE TIMES. I've always said if it ain't broke, don't fix it. perhaps 2 platforms would cure things. Poshmark LIVE and POSHMARK. Curious, ur a huge closet. Why aren't you going live?

Apr 29Reply

dreamgems4ever @diane_valdez On one of the top sellers I've got 300 followers I've made about a 150 K since I've started And 5 stars I have no idea why they have an offered the live shows but I went online and it said to sign up and when I did it said sorry we're not taking any new requests

Apr 29Reply

dreamgems4ever @diane_valdez I am surprised to and very confused. I make then so much money. Yes 150k earnings since Aug 2018. The last 2 years was most of that and now a sudden shocking halt in sales, likes, comments, offers etc.

Apr 29Reply

dreamgems4ever i don't use any other platforms but looking now for a new strategy

Apr 29Reply

dreamgems4ever @diane_valdez also iv had other sellers literally copy every single listing and used my exact tags and description even down to copying my backgrounds. Then sold look like jewelry for $10-15. Luckily my dedicated followers came back once they saw the quality was crappy.

Apr 29Reply

playitagainpm @dreamgems4ever They are really missing the mark!!! The problem is, PM hasn't issued any statements as to what criteria was used to choose who they offered live to. I know that every now and again I receive emails, and I believe it's at the top of notifications to sign up for those posh and sips or posh and coffee to get the opportunity to go live..

Apr 29Reply

playitagainpm @dreamgems4ever I'm not interested. you have such a gorgeous closet, and I wish I could buy the rings I'm eyeing, but I can't right now. I haven't signed up for reddit, but there are lots of PM people there excha going info.. We can't stop them from opting to add live shows to PM, BUT we can get this thing natio AL attention as to why some and not others.

Apr 29Reply

ldemarco6 They should definitely separate regular sellers from the shows. I'm really tired of my feed being full of show announcements even though I tried turning them off and have resorted to unfollowing people that do shows

Apr 29Reply

playitagainpm @ldemarco6 I've been unfollowing and blocking.. that seems to be working

Apr 30Reply

379_vintage I agree and I dislike the lives and being bombarded with the notifications. Another new addition they are currently testing with select poshers (if you haven't heard yet) is Promoted Listings! From what I understand they will be paying a fee to promote their closet to get more views and clicks which is supposed to of course lead to more sales. As if their already high fees are not enough. This will obviously only benefit the larger closets.

Apr 30Reply

playitagainpm @dreamgems4ever I just wanted to let you know that there's a message at the top of notifications saying you automatically become a show host by watching a live show. Just thought to let you know so you can try again! Good luck!!

ldemarco6 @379_vintage oh so the fees and high shipping charges aren’t enough- now PM wants to charge for something else!?!!? Really unfortunate- this used to be a great selling place

May 06Reply

379_vintage @ldemarco6 Yep. I honestly think that is why they changed the algorithm for the searches, I don't think it's so much the lives that are making the sales go down, I think it's something to do with how visible our closets are. It used to be that you could share your closet and then go search for an item in

May 06Reply

379_vintage @ldemarco6 your closet to see if its in the feed, but for months now many users are experiencing that their closet is not visible in the feed at all no matter how far down they scroll. This gives posh the advantage to charge us all to make our closets visible. I could be wrong lol but that's my theory.

May 06Reply

ldemarco6 @379_vintage so frustrating- Pm doesn’t need to do anything but collect $$ We post, we share, we make offers, we ship and they cash checks. How greedy do they need to be? We obviously aren’t making a ton of money and certainly aren’t making what our items are worth-how much more can they hurt our small businesses

May 06Reply

379_vintage @ldemarco6 yep. I just pray they do not end up rolling this feature out. The only closets that will benefit are the ones that bring in a lot of money, it will make it almost impossible for the rest of us and I don't know if it will even be worth any of it at that point. All we can do is see how it goes and try and find other platforms in the meantime. I do like PM but the way it's been lately or since they changed ownership, it's just making it so difficult to even make a sale anymore.

May 06Reply

ldemarco6 @379_vintage I totally agree! Hope they think about people like us and not just about their bottom line!! They make enough money- try to help us out!! I will be forced to try other sites as well if they roll that out or if my sales don’t pick up 😢

May 06Reply

379_vintage @ldemarco6 I hear ya! 💓

May 06Reply

bubbles1971 I don't understand why anyone would waste time selling for $3-$5 to make a whole 5 cents to $2- if I had items that cheap I'd rather throw it at the Goodwill and take the tax deduction, or have a rummage sale. Certainly not worth the Time, tape, pkg and gas

ptmerck My sales have plummeted to basically nothing and I am sick to death of the endless live show notifications clogging up my feed.

Any recommendations for other selling platforms that are user friendly and care about ALL of their patrons?

May 08Reply

playitagainpm @ptmerck I sent GREAT offers over the weekend, but NOTHING!! Made 1 sale over the weekend, and that's it.. PM doesn't care.. A new SKorean company now owns PM.. Try Merc..if u want to go live try WN..I've seen lots of big posters transfer to that matket

May 08Reply

angiehillus I'm increasingly getting fed up with Poshmark. You can never speak to a human when things go wrong, you just get a form email and never a direct response to your question. I see people selling fakes and nothing is done to those sellers yet I sold a pair of Vivienne Westwood boots that I bought in her shop in London and PM wouldn't authenticate them! The live shows have completely destroyed my sales. I used to make 5-8 sales per day, now I'm lucky if it's 1-2 per week

May 08Reply

playitagainpm @angiehillus I'm so aorry!! I don't know if things will be getting any better I'm just a small closet so 5 to 7 sales a week is a lot for me but I understand closets like yours I mean it has just affected all of you the most and it's heartbreaking for me

May 08Reply

playitagainpm @angiehillus YES!! MANY MANY COUNTERFWIT BAGS, JEWELERY, SUNGLASSES!!! I report them as I see them over and over again!! Remember, PM is owned by a South Korean company.. China, Korea, etc. all over tik tok peddling counterfeit bags.. maybe they think its not a problem.?!!😳 Keep reporting!!! DONT WATCH DONT BUY

May 08Reply

angiehillus @diane_valdez I watched a few seconds of a couple of live shows just to see what they were about and they're just painful to watch! I don't sell on PM to have to perform doing live shows. It's enough that we have to engage constantly by sharing. I'm glad that I sell on different sites but PM was great when it was simpler. Now it's just a s***show with live shows and low-ballers.

Unfortunately, there's no other way that I know of to reach out to them short of visiting their offices in Northern Cal which I would do if I had a group to go with..

saleslady58 Live shows should be a separate venue entirely off of Poshmark! I’ve ever asked if there’s a way NOT to be notified of Live shows in our News. That should be an option we can turn off or on. Poshmark says there’s no way to stop these notifications. These are sellers I don’t follow so why would I want to know they’re going LIVE???

May 11Reply

saleslady58 It’s time for someone to develop a new selling app with a similar design and benefits as Poshmark that would not allow live shows. I’d move in a moment’s notice.

May 11Reply

playitagainpm @saleslady58 I'm really sick of it..REALLY SICK!!!! They kicked us in the teeth..would be great if someone developed another selling platform

May 11Reply

thandiepixie My experience with the live shows is that sellers are now using the opportunity to sell fake items.. probably because there’s less scrutiny. I sell premier designer shoes and attended a live show of a very popular posh ambassador who routinely sells Louboutins and other designer brands. She was auctioning a pair of new size 5 Loubs for ridiculously low price so I joined the bidding and won.

May 13Reply

thandiepixie Now I typically do not sell Loubs because I’m not familiar with how to authenticate them but I felt confident in purchasing this pair because they were from this particular seller. When they arrived, the body looked ok to my untrained eye but I thought the markings on soles and insoles were not quite like others I had seen however, I did not know enough to say they were fake and so I listed them.

May 13Reply

thandiepixie Not 2 hours into the listing, a popular Loubs seller posted “SO FAKE” in all caps. I immediately deactivated the listing and reported to Poshmark. They had already released funds to the horrible seller but they still refunded my money to their credit. Lesson learned for me. I immediately stopped attending live shows and stock only to purchasing from my trusted supplier. I’ve never had a fake item reported and this experience really shook me up!

May 13Reply

thandiepixie Any yes my sales have been pretty much dead for months. I went from selling 20+ items a month to selling 3 items monthly. Really sad situation and I too am considering switching platforms but spooked at all the work I’ll have to redo creating new listings all over

May 13Reply

playitagainpm @thandiepixie I've had people say really nasty things on listings.. The audacity! sales are very slow, yes AND YES, SO MANY COUNTERFEIT ITEMS BEING SOLD..I'm just so tired of the BS

May 13Reply

thandiepixie @diane_valdez agree on the counterfeits and I can see why that would be so easy for the unscrupulous sellers. They literally hold up the item in a show and there is really no way to inspect the markings. Thanks for starting this thread. I found it by google searching dead closet poshmark 😄

May 13Reply

playitagainpm @thandiepixie glad u found it!! don't give up.. DONT WATCH DONT BUY..A D REPORT REPORT REPORT FAKES!!

May 13Reply

aylinkoksal I no longer even bother posting new listings...I have over 2600 items that are just sitting since the auctions started. Sick to death of seeing endless notifications of them in my feed...

May 13Reply

playitagainpm @aylinkoksal I do a lot of unfollowing and blocking. that seems to be working.. People complain, but when given the chance, they jump on the live show band wagon.. I'm not interested and shouldn't be forced to go live or forced to go elsewhere because the app changes killed sales!!

May 13Reply

roxy2929 @giftoftheeagle I have wrote and wrote and wrote to ceo@ poshmark dot com. Don’t know if he ever reads them. For awhile the notifications slowed up in my feed.

May 16Reply

playitagainpm @roxy2929 I shouldn't have to be forced to give to make sales.. So many closets work so hard to get their osets to where they are now..I saw a closet yesterday with 84 listing gs doing a live show! there are closets with thousands of listi gs, hundreds of thousands of followers and made over $150k collectively during their time on PM. These people can't get approved to go live?! They don't care.. PM is owned by a South Korea company. The former Ceo mismanaged PM. No one cares about our closets

May 16Reply

roxy2929 @diane_valdez I agree! It’s disgraceful what has happened to this platform. My sales like many have dried up! It’s like I’m invisible no matter how much I share or list. I have voiced my disappointment over and over to the ceo. Nobody’s flying this plane!

May 16Reply

playitagainpm @roxy2929 I've sent great offers to over 25 likers on a given item.. NOTHING! Where did the buyers go? Yup, they only have their hands out to collect THEIR percentage of sales

May 16Reply

roxy2929 @diane_valdez I’ve done the same, low offers and no takers. Have sent out well over 150 offers on a Fridays lately and nothing! Yup, people sell for $3 they get a nickel but PM makes $2.95!!!

May 16Reply

melson6971 @thandiepixie have you tried using Vendo ? Makes listing so easy. There is a monthly fee but it’s awesome ! My sales are horrendous on here now. Thinking of closing my poshmark account. Doing WAY better with E and M . Another nice thing about Vendo is that when you sell an item you tell Vendo where you sold it and for how much and it delists automatically from the other sites. Anyway, I think we all agree that Poshmark just sucks now. Soon I will be gone from here.

May 16Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez I was thinking the same thing ! Wish I had financial backing and the know how!! Then watch people drop like flies from Poshmark !!!

May 16Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 I've never heard of Vendo.. I don't want to do E..I do M with little success..sales but not like it was here..

May 16Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez my e sales are far greater than here, since all this stuff on P. Vendo is a great way to manage inventory on multi sites

May 17Reply

playitagainpm @melson6971 I'm just a small closet. my inventory co.es from personal closets..mom, sister, daughter, son.. stuff purchased and too late to return.

May 17Reply

melson6971 @diane_valdez I understand!! I’m moving back home soon so I will probably close down. If I start reselling again it will be a smaller closet. I’ve learned so much in two years! This is how we supplement our income. SS is not enough!

May 17Reply

freyas_rage I’m standing with you! I have put my closet on vacation because my sales decreased so much that I would actually forget to look at my notifications for days, and then I missed the two sales I DID make for very very small earnings! If Live Shows don’t drastically become less annoyingly visible and detrimental to others’ reselling then I’m deleting my closet altogether. I could make more profit selling used Q-tips on another platform!

May 17Reply

playitagainpm @lawson_niki Thank you!! I have no interest going live and none of us should be forced to do so to make sales!! LOL used Qtips🤣🤣🤣🤣

melson6971 @diane_valdez same here….I’m actually going to pull pretty much everything and have a yard sale before I move. Maybe at least get some money out of my inventory. I read the comments on here and it makes me angry and sad. We all put so much time and energy into our listings and …nothing :(

liz27807 Some sellers in live shows have created a hating and bullying culture! People can’t ask questions like if the items are authentic/ or if they come with receipt/ or from an outlet. Or simply joke about something stupid!!! Because they get offended and the block you!. It’s like if we asked them if they stole those items. People in the chats bully and pick on each other like they are 5 yrs old. I’m sure most of you reading will know which sellers 🤔.

May 21Reply

liz27807 (Continuation)Some are scamming by selling mystery boxes worth way less the claiming prices!! I can go on and on!! Poshmark will have to soon make rules or something!! To control such toxicity ❤️

lisacloset_ 100% agree!! Give closets who do not do live auctions more exposure. They should come up with plans to implement ways to improve all the closets not receiving sales or lack of. I’m tired of 100’s of live auction announcements appearing and questions from potential buyers get buried or missed.

May 25Reply

playitagainpm @lisacloset_ AMEN! AT LEAST AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR BOTH LIVE AND CLOSET SELLING

May 25Reply

pbkat So true! Now buyers think they can get everything for $8 and $9! 😩

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @pbkat I broke my cardinal rule and peeped into some shows.. I can't compete.. one show had a palette and honestly mist of the stuff was cute and selling for $3,$5 .some items like true religion jeans and kevis denim Shera jackets going for $35 to $45 .. nothing I can do

May 27Reply

rockinyourstyle I stand with you 💯 I am very disappointed in Poshmark!! I used to get 35 sales a month, and now I work twice as much and only get about 17 sales. I can't believe Poshmark is hanging us out to dry!! The posh shows are unorganized and unprofessional and make the app look bad

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle I've made 12 sales this month but I'm a very small closet and no plans to expand.. if I can make $200, $300 a month, wow, that would be great!! I was pretty consistent with sales prior to live roll outs but. a couple or 3 times there was no movement in my closet, BUT it hit hard this month

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle I was in a Poshmark group on the eff bee all of this was discussed.. Personally, I felt more were suffering from the lives.. the others said we need to accept the change and the new direction PM is going.. before I go on, I will say this, we should have a choice to sell directly from closets or sell via live show bidding without it effecting our sales negatively.

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle I don't want to remain so opposed, against the I've shows so, I peeped into some. yeah, hot messes, not ready.. today I popped into 2.. 1 show had over 100 watchers and she was selling from a palette. most of it was actually cute and they ran $3 to $5 with bids on a couple items at $45.. I can't compete with that. but I have to say the seller was prepared and had help so the show ran smoothly

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle The only negative was that she didn't measure everything only some items and she didn't give what the material was for the items.. the 2nd show had 35 to 45 watchers.. it was a share show so I sent an item to the seller tray. it didn't sell.. it was mainly coach, dooney & bourke , mk bags selling very cheap.

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle I don't know how they do it but it's being done. I just wonder are all the people buying inventory for their closets? any way the 2nd seller was a bit unorganized and messy but in the end it all worked.. I stayed til the end of the show.. it was exhausting.. I think for closets like mine, I will have to keep listing my items on share shows... it's the only way to get traffic geared to my closet or items.. sorry long winded.. I'm really trying to now be open minded

May 27Reply

rockinyourstyle @playitagainpm I think some of them are going to goodwill outlets that sell clothing by the pound like $1.39 a pound. I know what you mean because my goodwill is not that cheap plus fees on poshmark it's ridiculous 🙄 I am hoping the shows slow down and people stop doing them as much.

May 27Reply

playitagainpm @rockinyourstyle PM is now saturated with palette sellers..unfortunately, it's going to get worse

May 27Reply

letswhoopitup Thank you so much for creating this post. I was starting to take it personally but clearly I am not alone. I have been selling on Poshmark for 5 years, I’ve always had consistent sales, not anymore crickets!! It’s so frustrating. I don’t want to be forced to do Live Shows. Anyhoo… thank you for speaking out 🥰💜 I watched a live show the other night that had a live DJ big prizes, confetti and over 1000 people watching , I can’t Compete with that LOL

May 28Reply

playitagainpm @letswhoopitup we .use share the same b4ain cuz that's exactly what I've been saying.. I don't want to be forced to do lives, 8m a small closet! Not doing lives shouldn't effect my sales. I've been selling 5 yrs too and the same with consistent sales..Now nothing! No one is accepting my great offers.. I can't compete

May 28Reply

sheshop22 Yes!, Thank You for creating this post!! Live Shows are Killing Sales & forcing down prices. PM is forcing its original, loyal sellers to look elsewhere for place to list items. PM used to be fun to list, sell I was able to sell consistently but since the live shows - Nothing. I agree, I don't want to do live shows. PM turning this site into weird live show selling circus.

May 30Reply

playitagainpm @sheshop22 Reselling is trendy right now.. everyone buying pallets and boxes and selling live.. I'm a s.all closet..no intention of expanding.. I too was consistent until actually a month ago

May 30Reply

sheshop22 @playitagainpm it’s very frustrating. Putting the energy & time into my closet. Having integrity. Then these live shows come along auction items for $3. Just can’t compete.

May 31Reply

playitagainpm @sheshop22 I can't either but I keep doing it.. I can't afford to buy a pallet or box BUT when I started this 5 years ago, I told myself I wouldn't turn this into a business.. this is just me selling stuff I don't wear.. not everyone wants $3 clothing.. I just watched someone get pissed cuz no one was bidding..

May 31Reply

playitagainpm @sheshop22 She was clearly not in a good mood... Not everyone is having success doing lives, but yes, some are making a killing!!

May 31Reply

sheshop22 @playitagainpm I do see great potential for these shows going sideways. That something could happen that could affect the PM brand in a negative way.

May 31Reply

sheshop22 @playitagainpm Me too started a few years ago to clean our closets in my home & then to clean out storage unit I’ve got after big move (still finding bins of household items & clothing in storage!) never wanted this to become full time business. Not going to buy pallets etc for resale.

May 31Reply

playitagainpm @sheshop22 Funny, when I 1st posted this SO MANY left comments, now, I think those same people are doing live shows.. I block all closets that send live notifications except for a handful.. I don't participate in share shows bc I'm not letting go of my items for $5.. hoping sales pick up!

May 31Reply

letswhoopitup @playitagainpm I watched a live show the other night, the girl was getting very irritated that there was no bidding. She was starting a mystery box at $450 and no one pulled the trigger. She was talking down to people and talking about she needed to pay her credit card bill. She was stressed out for sure. Sad state of events.

Jun 01Reply

playitagainpm @letswhoopitup oh I saw one yesterday..That seller was also miffed bc No one was bidding.. She threw a little fit, saying she was just going to end the show.. I have no interest going live because I am a small closet and want to keep it that way, BUT on eff bee, it's disheartening when new poshers brag the thousands of $$ they are making on live shows..I mean poshers that started this year when veteran poshers are still waiting trying to get access

Jun 01Reply

letswhoopitup @playitagainpm Wow, that’s crazy behavior! 🤯 I noticed that too. It doesn’t look like you have to be a Posh ambassador 1 or 2 to gain live access. Seems unfair on many levels. I’ve enjoyed selling on here. I’ll keep plugging along until it’s zero fun and zero $

Jun 01Reply

saydiethedog My sales tanked drastically. I give awesome offers on items already reduced and still doesn’t sell. I’m ready to check out. The time and effort isn’t worth it. So sad.

ingridwhitworth I'm with you 1,000%! So over the lives shows and want no part in doing them. Poshmark is circling the drain. Their stock went public, then they sold to another company, stock has since been delisted and is now off of Nasdaq. With all the frustration, closets closing, and even buyers leaving, because of the ridiculous flooding of live show notifications (even with them turned off!), you would think they would make changes quickly to resolve the issues, but nooooo.

Jun 09Reply

hourglassndaisy I'm with you! I unfollow everyone hosting live shows. I'll never shop or sell that way. I sold on Etsy for 8 years until it turned into the yard sale dumpster fire it is today. So sad to see this happening to Poshmark, too.

Jun 11Reply

playitagainpm @hourglassndaisy I see people buy jewelery on lives, and then the buyer sell it in their live shows. It seems the same items are making their rounds. I also noticed people get so caught up in the moment that they bid ridiculous amounts for items you can find in a closet for half of what the bid winner paid.. the shows are loud and obnoxious..

Jun 11Reply

hourglassndaisy @playitagainpm One of the Posh sellers I watch on YouTube says she sources this way for her own closet. She buys things for next to nothing on Lives and then raises the price and sells it. Not exactly supportive of fellow sellers. 🤨

Jun 11Reply

playitagainpm @hourglassndaisy yeah, I don't support shady people.. intentionally buying from a fellow posher for practically nothing and reselling in their closet.. it happened to me with earrings.. sold a bundle for$12 and the buyer listed in her closet as vintage for $25 each.. it's the lie of the vintage that ticked me off

bkb1 I stand with you in support I went from lots is sales before the live shows to. A big 0 with lots of lowball offers & people being crabby when I counter offer! With so many parties going on when you login you have to go to likes first and then comments because you’ll miss something. I’m going to hang in here & have high hopes it will change back. It’s comforting to know that there’s lots of us who feel the same way. Thanks for letting me vent

g_sliwinski @playitagainpm one women said she gets stuff for free or .49 cents from consignment shops then sells for 3-5 dollars. This is not fare. I only had to sales in about 12 months. My stuff is not from consignment shops. Posh just keeps telling me to share more. The company sold for 1billion and new people keeping Posh name.

Jun 12Reply

playitagainpm @g_sliwinski unfortunately that's the name of the game.. buy low sell high.. yeah, sharing sharing sharing.. u can bulk share which makes it so much easier.. try and follow 500 new poshers a day so u can get new eyes on ur closet. I'm in no way an expert but u may want to get rid of all those signs and move ur items to the top...

Jun 12Reply

playitagainpm @g_sliwinski bulk share ur closet AT LEAST 3 times a day EVERYDAY but I would recommend more than 3x daily.. Re list older items..

Jun 12Reply

g_sliwinski Thank you for your reply. It’s the lives killing my sales.These are the new photos also lowered prices. If you look on line Posh is in trouble. So I was told they slowed down sales to make stock shares better…

losangeles_love I literally was just talking to my husband about this. The shows have killed our sales and we were doing well. The shows start bids at so low & that’s what people are now heading towards. It’s not fair for those of us that have good products to sell AND WORTH MORE. Poshmark was suppose to be different from the other 4 letter online auction store that Poshmark will not let me write. Resorting to how they first started. Not with the live shows, but with the low low starting bids. WE PROTEST!

playitagainpm @losangeles_love Hi! oh, I contacted them as well, as I'm sure thousands of others. They do not respond... Lives are here to stay, unfortunately.. The only thing we can do is jump on the bandwagon and go live or do silent shoes.. I will not be doing either.. keep listing bulk share as many times a day as u can and follow at least 500 new closets a day.. all this needs to be done daily!!

Jun 12Reply

losangeles_love @playitagainpm I don’t know how much I believe that people are being proactive about this. I’m going to look for another platform where to sell. I am good at sharing etc. It’s not about that, not willing to sell items for three dollars or five dollars or seven dollars. That’s the way the other online auction store started years ago. I was with them over 20 years ago. Anyhoo I’m exploring other avenues. Thank you.

Jun 12Reply

losangeles_love @playitagainpm was going to ask if anyone’s tried them. Been selling online for over 2 decades. Had an online store, started selling on PM 1 year ago. BIG drop of sales when those live shows came in. Will continue to research for other avenues. TYSM. Yes, it’s very frustrating. Is all they care about making $3 off of those $15 & under sales which is ridiculous. Again I have reached out to them, this is a real issue that is hurting many. Cheers💖

Jun 12Reply

playitagainpm @losangeles_love Just an FYI.. There are many sellers that say drop in sales is not bc of the lives. it's because of our closets😳 This is a side hustle for me.. I don't sell high-end bc I keep that for myself.. I've never had a problem selling what I have.. so those people can kick rocks! BTW u have a GREAT closet!! Cheers, Mama!🌹

365lovelife I commented earlier on here. What I've noticed is Poshmark is becoming more of a yard sale site with many of these shows. Regarding notifications, I started to unfollow but what I've also noticed is I'll get 3-4 show notifications for one person within 15 min and why are we getting notifications for live shows in Canada when we can't even buy! We should be able to opt out of these notifications like we are given for other notifications.

Jun 13Reply

playitagainpm @365lovelife I received notifications from 1 live show host about 28 within 52 minutes.. I monitored it.. I nicely mentioned it in her show, and her feathers got ruffled.. I get notifications from Canada too, and you know they're bringing live shows from India this month. I don't know ow if it's a 1 time thing but PM plans to go global.. All countries being able to shop in closets worldwide

playitagainpm @ldemarco6 a great tool PM gave us.. a game changer! good luck

lrl72 PM looks and feels like a garage sale now. It’s such a shame for those of us who want to continue delivering quality used clothing and great service at a fair price. If any of you open your own shop for vetted sellers - let us know!

Jun 16Reply

playitagainpm @lrl72 they're really pushing live shows.. Are they going to do away with closet selling? who knows..not like they tell us..

Jun 16Reply

lrl72 @playitagainpm I don’t think PM will go back to the old (better) ways. Personally, I think everything about live shows is obnoxious, including the nonstop notifications. Browsing the shops (rather than attending a live auction for junk) was part of the PM experience. I wish a long-term Posher would start their own business to compete with PM and bring along the best parts of it. :)

Jun 16Reply

playitagainpm @lrl72 NO, it'll never go back to what it was, unfortunately. All we can do is list elsewhere and carry on!

giftoftheeagle @playitagainpm I filled out a survey today about posh fest. But as it turned out, it was just a push for live shows. They really didn't want our opinion. The survey was just a big advertisement for live shows. I am with all of you. Lives are awful. Killed my sales too.

Jun 17Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle yeah, I figured as much.. Posh fest is just a way for some sellers to kiss a**.. It's in San Diego this year.. I'm in California too, so I thought maybe I should go. Someone has to ask the hard questions, ya know?! keep listing, keep sharing, and have faith!

giftoftheeagle hmmm, maybe we should all change our headers to read "Not participating in Live Shows. sort of like a Massive protest against our cl9sets dying, comps dying and

Jun 17Reply

giftoftheeagle oops. our closets dying, our comps dying and now getting only low ball offers.

Jun 17Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle I sent out a 40% to 50% offer on a lot of my stuff . crickets.. it is frustrating

Jun 17Reply

giftoftheeagle @playitagainpm Hi all! i just watched an AshleyWheeler8 interview on you tube and apparantely she just made $100,000 on live shows. Now because of needing to spend more time with her family and perhaps a bit of burn out she is only doing live shows once a week. She truly seems like a lovely and genuine person. She is now helping Poshmark teach about the live shows and says lives are here to stay.

Jun 18Reply

giftoftheeagle i personally think the app is going to go to just lives. Apparently, also our closets are not shwing up in google searches, because the new owner wants it that way, in order to force more participation in live shows. I also heard someone else say the algorithm burys your closet if you don't participate in lives. while I don't know for certain if any of its true, it makes sense since sales have fallen off a cliff.

Jun 18Reply

giftoftheeagle I don't know what Im going to do yet. I personally think this is a fad on poshmark and people will just burn out on it, unless they feel addicted to it, sort of like gambling. Lives feel way too much like 9-5 jobs and these people are not making money while they sleep. And it is a huge effort for little return. But of course Poshmark doesn't care since they are paid first.

Jun 18Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle well good for Ashley

Jun 18Reply

giftoftheeagle @playitagainpm Hey guys, made 2 sales today on Poshmark, giving me the tiniest bit of hope that maybe fighting back will have an impact, at least eventually.

Jun 19Reply

giftoftheeagle Thank you so much for this thread! without you guys, I have been ready to just close up shop. I have been considering other platforms and listening to you tubers, and I think I am going to also try other platforms because of how cutthroat Posh has become meaning sellers vs the Posh App and its favor towards the live shows. I can't underdstand why they have dropped support for the sellers not doing lives. Hope everyone here Starts having better sales!

Jun 19Reply

playitagainpm @giftoftheeagle it's just a thread for people to vent.. don't depend too much on you tube.. trial and error.. good luck

Jun 19Reply

thriftybanana I totally agree!! while I myself enjoy a live show or two, they have taken over Poshmark and have killed regular sales. I haven't sold a thing nor had a bite in months and months and months since the live shows started. I'm going to be closing this closet and moving my merchandise.

Jun 19Reply

bkb1 I am venting again! I just got an offer for $10 on a $39 coat. Getting so many lowball offers This is not a garage sale.& all my profits go to the Humane Society. Just because the live shows are $3 & $5 Doesn’t mean everyone else’s closet is that amount. I always respond and treat everybody with kindness but I’m just getting so tired. I don’t even think I’m going to respond to the offer

Jun 20Reply

playitagainpm @bkb1 buyer now are VULTURES and mist of them are established resellers... I'm so sick of these people to a point I'm tired of tip toeing around the subject so as not to ruffle any feathers

Jun 20Reply

bkb1 @playitagainpm Thank you I appreciate your kindness and how quickly you respond.

Jun 20Reply

playitagainpm @bkb1 no worries.. the post is meant for people to use as an outlet to vent

Jun 20Reply

bkb1 @playitagainpm I feel much better thank you!

Jun 20Reply

playitagainpm @bkb1 glad u do.. I dont.. I don't feel better about any of this nonsense.. now they've brought in Live shows from India

Jun 20Reply

bkb1 @playitagainpm I feel better because I got to vent. And I offered her $10 for one of her $40 items It was mean, but she will get the hint. And it felt good to vent a little bit. I am worried about Poshmark and what’s going to happen and it’s very frustrating because there’s only so much we can and can’t do. I like to find a solution to problems and on the Poshmark one I don’t have any answers. I appreciate you having this post here I’ve left messages for Poshmark no response back

Jun 20Reply

playitagainpm @bkb1 PM isn't ever going to respond.. and good for you sending a liwball offer..I would've sent $1

Jun 20Reply

bkb1 @playitagainpm Oh I should have done that. HUGS 🤗 to everyone on this site We all need it.

Jun 20Reply

bubbles1971 Made another complaint, opinion, to Posh- didn't even address any of it other than to say no way to turn off the live show notifications

Jun 21Reply

playitagainpm @bubbles1971 Why are u sending complaints? They aren't going to respond.. Live shows are here to stay, unfortunately

Jun 21Reply

bubbles1971 @playitagainpm hoping they listen and get bombarded with negative feedback

Jun 21Reply

bubbles1971 @playitagainpm told them they aren’t making any (much) $ off $3 sales either so why encourage that- and keep suggesting they make a separate site for live

Jun 21Reply

playitagainpm @bubbles1971 Yeah, they don't care.. They even brought live shows streaming from India.. They want to go global.. I'm not sure if they want to do away with basic closet selling, but the new s Korean owners think the US lacks live sales.. So.....

Jun 21Reply

momooshka I’m so tired of getting 100 notifications a day about live shows. My posh stats have been at 97% for the last year and I don’t have access to do live shows but I’m not even sure that I would. It’s just become soooooo over saturated with live shows that I’m not even excited to get on here anymore and I’ve been here for years 🫤

Jun 22Reply

playitagainpm @momooshka people are gonna get tired of them.. I'm over it..

Jun 22Reply

suehyde I agree 100%! It’s so discouraging to wake up in morning to 30-50+ notifications to find that all but a few are live shows. In my opinion live shows should be a complete separate entity. They are killing sales for sure.

Jun 23Reply

jspotboutique I can do lives but I can't do them often. I like looking for what I want and just buying or making an offer. I've been getting some ridiculous offers from people since lives shows have spread to more people and sales have dropped. I put work into my closet on here. I have a variety of items and nice stuff but I'm not selling it for $3 or $5...... or selling a Louis Vuitton Bag for $100..... it's insane the offers I get now. I got a few ridiculous offer before but now it's out of hand.

Jun 23Reply

jspotboutique And it will take forever to crosslist my entire closet. I feel pressure to do lives because sales have gone down. It was much better before lives. They ruined poshmark. I don't dislike people who do them. I understand the pressure. I don't see stuff I'm actually looking for on lives most of the time. People are getting robbed on the shows... most of them. If you offer regular prices... still a deal... people aren't happy with that now. I've sent out lower offers too.

Jun 23Reply

bubbles1971 I saw something new ( I think) today where you don't have to unfollow the person but can turn off notification when they start a show

Jun 25Reply

playitagainpm @bubbles1971 yeah, a great feature BUT, honestly, interest in the live shows will fizzle.. I already see it...

Jun 25Reply

bubbles1971 @playitagainpm good, hopefully the $3-$5 will stop

Jun 25Reply

tripsmama3 @playitagainpm it’s absolutely terrible. In 9 years on being on here, I cannot believe that has happened 😔

Jun 26Reply

missdonalou @bubbles1971 How do you turn off the notifications? I would love to do that! 😅

Jun 28Reply

bubbles1971 @missdonalou Well if it works for you, click on the follow button and there should be a drop-down and then it says notify when sellers starts a new show turn it off- looks like posh has them automatically all ON

Jun 28Reply

missdonalou @bubbles1971 Thank you! I’ll try it.

ragates001 I just log in I have nothing to sell can some one tell me why I have so many followers

Jun 29Reply

ragates001 @katebreen13 how can I see the live show

Jun 29Reply

tikigirl100 Thanks for posting this! I’m just a few thousand shares away from becoming a Posh Ambassador 2, and ready to delete my account once I cross over to the other platforms. The shows have absolutely crushed my sales, and it’s no longer worth my time. It feels like Poshmark has turned into more of a TikTok platform than a community to resell items. My feed is filled with shows, and all the offers, likes and comments just get lost in the chaos. It’s disappointing, absurd, and just plain obnoxious.

Jun 29Reply

giftoftheeagle @tikigirl100 Yea Posh is now awful. On the positive side, I did see there were some $6 starts. People starting to realize 0 profit is no fun. Lol.

Jun 30Reply

tikigirl100 @giftoftheeagle LOL, it’s all become a waste of my time, and crossing over to other platforms seems to be the move, especially if Narvar, the company that acquired Poshmark is ignoring our complaints. It all started going downhill when they took over. The live shows are the equivalent of walking into a store and being accosted by sales people. Who wants to shop like that?!? I’d prefer to browse in peace, and not have $6 junk that’s destined for the landfill shoved in my face.

Jun 30Reply

ndtradingpost @tikigirl100 what other platforms is the question. I dislike e*** so probably won't go that route. mer**** is even deader than poshmark, and the rest, as far as I can tell, aren't much better

Jul 01Reply

tikigirl100 @ndtradingpost yesterday I opened a Mer**** account, and sold a dress that was listed on Poshmark for over a year, within just a couple hours of listing. So far so good, and I like that it’s no nonsense. You don’t need 50,000 followers or to waste hours of your time sharing other people’s stuff to make a sale.

Jul 01Reply

jyokelson I’m with you!!!!!

Jul 01Reply

ndtradingpost @tikigirl100 mer**** is no nonsense compared to the time you gotta put in here, but, mer**** search results favor new listings, so for maximum effect you need to relist after some time, which I'm not a big fan of. but i have been with mer**** for 5 years, sold a fair amount of stuff. posh does beat mer **** every month for me though, as far as sales goes.

Jul 01Reply

tikigirl100 @ndtradingpost good to know, I appreciate your input. I’ve put too much time into my Posh account to delete, but won’t continue to be super active.

Jul 01Reply

ldemarco6 @tikigirl100 so now in order to unfollow people you have to use two keystrokes - one to Unfollow and then another keystroke on the bottom to make it go thru. It’s bad enough we can’t stop all the annoying live show announcements on our feed but now it’s more work to unfollow. I complained about it but they just said they would send it to their development team ugh

Jul 02Reply

tikigirl100 @ldemarco6 thanks for the heads up! It’s so annoying that you can’t just turn off the “starts posh shows” (which I never turned on). I’m unfollowing everyone in my feed doing a show, and have all notifications turned off. It’s out of control.

Jul 02Reply

ldemarco6 @tikigirl100 I have the shows turned off too but it doesn’t work- I emailed PM about it and once again, they did nothing. Now you have to do 2 keystrokes to unfollow: when you hit the follow tab it used to just change to unfollow now when you hit it, it gives a drop down and you have to choose unfollow AGAIN. Like it wasn’t annoying enough doing it once ugh🤬

Jul 02Reply

bevsfashions I'm so glad I saw this listing. Glad to know it's not just me! Poshmark used to be a great platform, but it has really taken a turn for the worse. I don't want to live sell, that's not what I signed up for.

Jul 03Reply

bubbles1971 @tikigirl100 does Mer* send a ship label and collect the tax like posh?

Jul 03Reply

bellanova88 PM changed the Rules in the middle of the game. Yeah a lot of the live shows are cringy, campy , weird, whatever, that's what this platform wants to do? Very little trust in a platform that sets something up one way then changes the rules mid game when people have invested SO much. PM has poor business ethics. it doesn't care about the sellers obviously, just gimmicks and it's bottom line.

Jul 04Reply

giftoftheeagle @bellanova88 I think Poshmark is suppressing our closets. i don't think sharing is worth the time investment anymore.

Jul 04Reply

bellanova88 @giftoftheeagle Wow. I wouldn't be surprised. false advertising. time and $ invested. The whole thing seems shady in terms of bait and switch. I wouldn't be surprised if someone sued them.

Jul 04Reply

bellanova88 I stopped sharing actually. I was always a bit wary of the follow and share thing and the time and energy it took, but went for it anyway. I do feel bad for people who put way more into it than I did.

Jul 04Reply

tikigirl100 @bubbles1971 yes, they do, and they offer lots of different shipping options. I’ve been crushing it with the sales over there, 12 items in 2 days!

Jul 05Reply

tikigirl100 @bellanova88 I agree, total bait and switch situation here. I’ve been actively unfollowing anyone who does a live show, and stopped sharing as well. I’ll keep my Posh account open, but not going to waste anymore of my time with their silly games. I’ve had great success moving my things over to another platform, can barely keep up with the sales!
