I’m thrilled that for some people, it works. It just no longer worked for me. I certainly don’t miss the time suck, and I’m now making a lot more money on my own site than I ever made on the Poshmark app. Of course, there are several other top Poshmark sellers who are crushing it. At midnight my husband would say “Are you still poshing?” I suddenly realized that all the time I was spending being “social” on Poshmark was keeping me from doing other really productive things in my life, like exercising, writing, and spending quality time with friends and family. While I did enjoy the social aspect of meeting some really great people on Poshmark, the amount of time I was spending on the app was ridiculous. Reason #4: Poshmark is a massive time-suck! Again, there should be more seller protection offered by Poshmark when it comes to trolls like these and Poshmark scams in general. These are men who have found Poshmark and created accounts just so they can ask you to “model” that pair of high heels or that tight dress. These people never buy anything and it seems their sole purpose for being on Poshmark is to waste your time. There are the trolls that comment and ask a gazillion questions about an item (most of which have already been answered in the description…the one they couldn’t be bothered to read). I found two types of trolls exist on Poshmark. And how about the ones that give you a low rating because they didn’t like the fit? Like somehow, that’s your problem and not the manufacturer’s?Īnd then there are the trolls. Or the folks that give you a 1-star review with no specific reason. Then you have to wait 3 days for your funds to be released. These are the people you rush to the post office for so you can get their item delivered ASAP, but then once they get it, they don’t even bother to mark it as received. While the majority of people who purchased items from my closet were class-act Poshers, I did have my collective share of bad apples that found their way to my Poshmark account. There are too many unethical buyers, trolls and Poshmark scams. If you can’t be bothered to actually read the item description and respect the seller’s policies, then you really shouldn’t be on Poshmark. I would write in my description “Final Price” and “Price is Firm,” but Poshers would still offer me $5. But when I found myself blocking people all day long, I just stopped accepting offers period. I got to the point where if someone offered me less than half the asking price, I would just block them. Apparently these people are only willing to pay $5 for ANYTHING in your closet, whether it’s an authentic hard-to-find Coach bag or a vintage Versace dress. They’re the reason I stopped accepting offers on Poshmark altogether. Just google Poshmark reviews and see for yourself. Given the high Poshmark fees that sellers have to pay, this is simply unacceptable. Of all the online apps I’ve ever used, Poshmark customer service is by far the worst. I contacted Poshmark Support to let them know, but they never responded. The first thing I did when I received the top back was check the zipper. I responded to Poshmark and informed them that the zipper worked perfectly when it was shipped, but they sided with the buyer and returned the item to me. This person just received the top and either didn’t like it or found out it didn’t fit her and wanted her money back. I certainly would never list an item with a faulty zipper. If there were any flaws whatsoever, I would disclose them in my description. I always took great care to make sure every piece I sold on Poshmark was in excellent condition. She even supposedly sent them video proof. When she received it, she filed a case with Poshmark help stating that the zipper didn’t work. A Posher purchased a very unique top from my closet. Here’s the bad experience I had that was the impetus for my Poshmark departure. And more importantly, I don’t have to deal with the following Poshmark problems that caused me to quit altogether. Plus, most of my regular customers followed me over and continued buying from me. Now I have a lot more control over what I’m selling and I don’t have to pay Poshmark fees or a 20% commission to anyone.
( Click below if you want to learn how I did it and open a store of your own!) And it turned out that for me, it wasn’t. So I took all of my inventory and created my own online store called Shop Stylaphile. I had regular repeat customers that were amazing, which is the only real drawback to quitting Poshmark…I loved these folks!īut then I had a bad customer service experience with Poshmark that caused me to wonder if all the time I was spending on the app was worth it. I was a top seller, with over 333,000 followers.
But it’s over.Īfter years of success buying and selling on the Poshmark app, I was done.
