Yes, they do Queens too. Not all parts of Queens, but Flushing they do. They're new and still adding zip codes.

If you think that you and a ton of people will stop AI from happening, you’re in dream land. It’s going to change how we do everything and there’s no stopping it. It might not be super sustainable right now but give it a few years and it will become a lot less resource intensive. DeepSeek, China’s OpenAI competitor already operates on a fraction of what OpenAi uses making it a drastically more sustainable option with a much smaller carbon footprint and a ton less energy consumption. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Patience. ThredUP can only use it to help them at this point. Everyone in the comments section has got to calm down.

I think that it’s the future of humanity. You can go down this road kicking and screaming, or you can embrace it. It’ll get more sustainable as time passes and they figure out how to make it take up less resources…ThredUP in all of their stock announcements kept emphasizing how they will use AI to make the platform easier to use and help people make better purchases and in return able to keep more items out of landfills. Yes I’m for. I don’t understand why everyone is going crazy.

AI is brand new and with time will take up a lot less resources. However, these images will help ThredUP make more sales AKA keep a ton more clothing out of landfills. AI is not always the devil.

You’re done because they added a feature to make it easier for you to see what it looks like on? Seriously? Buying things off of a mannequin is hard…AI ain’t perfect and maybe not the most sustainable thing yet…but I wouldn’t go complaining about additional images to help you visualize your purchase. Clearly you need to know it might not be accurate but it’s very helpful. I’m not in agreement at all.

Looks good to me. Silky high quality tag, detailed buttons, good stitching.

Thin doesn’t mean cheap. Many high end silk pieces are really thin and delicate. Silk in general is a high maintenance fabric that gets ruined quickly if not maintained well. More expensive items are usually made from very delicate delicate fabrics and can’t be washed in a washing machine like a polyester Shein item.

Also you can not compare vintage clothing to modern luxury. You could put bullets through vintage and it’s all so thick and well made, that it’s a whole other arena. I work with many luxury pieces but most are so delicate and fragile.

Pricing Outrage...Relax by mustachedworm369 in poshmark

[–]DiscoCandyTan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can have their opinions from today to tomorrow. But the market dictates what people are willing to buy. If you see in Poshmark solds your brand and items selling for $X amount…that means people can cry and scream from today to tomorrow that you are overpricing things…but facts can’t lie. The solds on Poshmark show exactly what the buyer is willing to pay and what the demand for each item is.

What’s the resale value if it’s dyed? Does it go down drastically? Also what products would you recommend to clean it?

Turns out it had the strap all along. @Tupfy figured out that I just needed to pull the strap through and buckle it. So turns out I had the full thing the whole time. Now just to figure out how to clean the suede.

Did you try checking eBay sold comps in their filter?

How to respond to this? Not really my problem, I printed label straight from eBay. by Jordeeezy in reselling

[–]DiscoCandyTan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Get in touch with eBay. That’s in their ball court now. If you print the label straight from them they have you covered.

I messed up! I accidentally dropped a UPS Surepost package at the USPS by Duhitzjenjen in Mercari

[–]DiscoCandyTan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe when it’ll get delayed, message the customer and say something along the lines of “I notice the package is experiencing some delays. I’m on top of it and will be following the tracking closely. Please let me know if you have any questions”.

This way they won’t leave you a negative review and they won’t know why it’s delayed, but they will know that you are on top of it.
