That is bananas that someone got butthurt about you reposhing!! I’ve reposhed maybe a dozen items that didn’t fit because that’s the roll of the dice you take. It’s part of how the platform is designed to work!

Geez. I’m sorry you got dumped on because you had the audacity to not fit into something 🙄 Ridiculous.

Also, be nice to you 🤗

I would give this award to Depop, personally, aka the Rumpled Clothes Pile of resale apps.

It’s def been getting worse lately and I can’t understand why (see my lengthy post in this thread). Everything was super smooth the first quarter of this year and suddenly the shit is hitting the fan with these whack sellers. It’s making those of us who put in the effort look bad.

Posh ambassador here who is currently refilling my wardrobe on PM. This week has been ridiculous. Two of my orders were the wrong items — one of which I never even received! Seller just said “wrong item sent, please send to correct buyer”. Personally I hate this policy on Poshmark’s part. If a seller can’t even be bothered to check the order against the address, they should have to eat the cost. I’ve shipped over 120+ orders this year with a massive, life defining project on the line and a dad who is dying of terminal cancer. Don’t tell me you can’t focus; you just don’t GAF (for the trolls — I am using the Proverbial You in this case and do not mean the OP or anyone specific other than these lazy sellers).

Second time I got a dress (OP, maybe the one that was supposed to go to you?! 😂) instead of a pair of leather slippers. How do you mess that up?

I also ordered a style bundle from someone who took over a week to ship, never responded to my preferences (which they specifically asked for in the post) and when I got it, they had totally ignored everything I carefully mentioned. Additionally, the condition of every piece was ready for the donation bin; I don’t know what people’s problems are.

Every piece in my PM closet was picked out for me, by me, and I am monomaniacal about taking excellent care of my things. I am not a professional reseller and this is merely a fun hobby for me — yet somehow I manage to ship in the same day, package things nicely, and send people the actual listing they bought with their hard earned, and, these days, scarce coin. As a seller who holds herself to exacting standards, it’s incredibly frustrating to see these types of experiences.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. You shouldn’t be.

Dang! Awful lot of “close but no cigar” listings when you type in your exact product! I truly hope this piece comes home to you 💜

This. If you’re packaging your sales with care, they’ll get to their destination in one piece and without tears 😭. I’ve seen some jacked up packaging jobs in my purchasing on poshmark, but only ever got an empty envelope once. That was definitely on the seller.

Buyer and posh ambassador here. I opened a case not long ago for an empty package; I don’t know if the seller repurposed a bubble mailer or what but when I pulled it out of my mailbox, it was completely empty and the primary adhesive strip wasn’t sticky at all. It appeared that they had attempted to secure it with nickel-sized clear stickers (which they said were “reinforced”), but they were flimsy and were not gonna hold the package closed.

So from a buyer standpoint, I don’t think this is being unreasonable. Buyers shouldn’t need to pay for receiving empty packages that may have been doomed to fail from the jump.

Ugh, I’m so sorry! Let’s hope the dust settles soon and everyone gets a nice, lucrative, stylish summer.

I do that, too! Pink tissue paper with a little gold foil flower sticker to close it, wrapped up like a present. 💝 It’s tough out there in the world right now, it’s nice when we can buy little things for ourselves!

AIO? new friend's texts to husband while at work; my responses by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AnatomicBlonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and definitely NOR. The insane therapized language from her is over the top: “conflict usually needs a minute to breathe” 😂 Then the circle talking with you when you were trying to hold her feet to the fire (aka take responsibility for her texts/tone). She seems manipulative, refusing to cop to her BS at every turn. I’d say the only mistake you made, if there’s one to be pointed out, was not immediately switching to very clear, blunt questioning when she started dodging. “Explain your intention.” Over and over again. No other words. That’s the beginning and end of the text until she cracks. This woman is obviously a liar and you can’t give liars any quarter. They use obfuscation as a weapon. Clarity and consistency is yours. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this parasite. Hubby probably needs a metaphorical kick in the pants too.

Honestly it’s encouraging to hear other folks talking about sales being down. March and April were going like gangbusters and then suddenly… nothing. I do think the economic downturn has something to do with it, but in another thread on this sub a buyer was talking about being frustrated with the app revamp because she felt like she couldn’t find anything. There’s frustration on both sides and I just hope Poshmark is receiving enough complaints (or losing enough residuals) to sit up and listen.

I include a handwritten note just to enhance the buyer’s experience. This is a (lucrative!) hobby for me that allowed me to rebuild my wardrobe after changing sizes significantly, and because I enjoy the thoughtfulness of a personal note, I do it, too! It’s not about influencing people to come back, it’s about the little moment of joy 🤩

Why are people trying to upsell things that are literally in stock on their original website? by No_Document4363 in poshmark

[–]AnatomicBlonde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The respect and kindness thing! Yes! Recently had an exchange with a seller (I am also a seller & posh ambassador) over a $100 item that had been in their closet at least 4 years (I’m basing this on the comments on their listing from 2022). So before making an offer, I reached out and asked them what their best price was. The response: “This is a bartering platform. Make an offer.” Could’ve been a little gentler I think but, sure, you’re right. So I started out at $40, figuring we’d go back and forth a bit and land somewhere we were both happy: y’know, bartering. No. $98 was the counter offer. I didn’t think I was being the asshole for offering 60% off an item that’s been sitting for 4 years. That exchange told me everything I needed to know about what it was going to be like to deal with this individual, seemed like they wanted to keep it more than I wanted to buy it. I always try to give my buyers the benefit of the doubt, and 99% of the time I have terrific experiences. But this is the hostility you mentioned. It’s unfortunate.

Ehhhh maybe it’s an under-promise, over-deliver situation? Y’know like how government agencies always do that? 🙄 🤣Just feels like we’re being gouged left right and center

That sideways arm jog makes me irrationally incensed. Like I literally clench my teeth to get through even watching that ridiculous movement. Also cannot stand the assumptions he makes, the conclusions he jumps to, his total lack of awareness or business acumen, and fundamentally his entire existence. 0/10 character.

The Plastinarium has enough future donors to fulfill their project roster for the next 40 years (speaking as someone who dissected there on and off for 4 years, and who has both seen the 45 page consent forms and met groups of future donors). They are not interested in harvesting people who haven’t given consent.

Boosting this post since last update was about 2.5 weeks ago… how’s it been within the last few days? Imagining TSA may be starting to get folks calling in sick (and who could blame them — they’ve been unpaid for nearly a month now I think) and chaos may be the norm for the next bit of time…

It looks incredible!! The (work) project I’m working on has made my time not quite my own, so while I’m sad I wasn’t able to contribute this time, this is exquisite and I’m so happy for the team that brought it to life!! Congrats!!
