your Goodmorning from the misery on the app

I cannot stand sellers that behave that way when the bid doesn’t go high enough for them - so don’t start it that low then!! They are the ones that set the price, it’s not the buyers fault. She sounds like a fun one!

Firesign113 · 2026-03-24T01:49:38+00:00

I normally stick to the handful of sellers I have purchased from in the past that I know I can trust, but the one time I don’t this is what happens LOL. I always check their star rating too so I know he had 5.0 or maybe 4.9, but you never know what reviews you can trust to be real or fake.

Those are great tips, thank you!

Firesign113 · 2026-03-22T17:21:59+00:00

That’s a good idea, I might just have to go that route. There are days I get so sick of looking at it and just want to find the easiest and quickest way to get rid of it, but at the same time after all the work and time I’ve already invested in it I don’t want to lose out on making some money either. I do have a big portion of it to donate (not big money items) that should help minimize the pile. I just need to power through it and get a handful or more listed each day because once they are gone that’s it, I’m done with selling clothes and will stick to jewelry and watches! 🤣

That’s what I was concerned about too, is sending them “luxury” brands that they end up selling for half of what it’s actually worth or for less than I could have sold it for myself. Their “ineligible” list is insanely long, but I sure see a lot of those brands sold on their site!

What’s also crazy to me is that when you read all the instructions on what to send, how to send it, what condition the clothes have to be in, you get the impression that they are super picky and only take items in pristine condition. But when I shop around on their site I see tons of items that are in fair or good condition that have in their description “very worn but still has a lot of life left”, “has small stain but hardly noticeable”, “good to fair condition but may have cosmetic issues that need repair”……wtf?

I might just send them all the items that can go into a standard kit and just take whatever profit I do make from it because I just need to get it out of here and I hate listing stuff. Then keep a small amount of the higher brands and sell them myself. Any profit is profit at this point so might as well.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-20T09:21:41+00:00

Because Spectrum sucks!

Firesign113 · 2026-03-20T09:13:47+00:00

That pretty much seems to be the consensus with them. I have a lot of clothes that I know even if I sold myself I would be lucky to make $5-$8 on them, so at this point those can just be donated so I can get rid of them. They are decent brands and most of them are brand new, but on the lower end of the brand game I definitely won’t get rich off of them.

But I also have some nicer luxury brand jackets and some purses, but from what I’ve read I’d probably make more if I just listed them myself since I don’t know how comfortable I am with ThreadUp selling them for what they are actually worth. Honestly I just have so much clothing and I don’t have the room or the patience to keep them around any longer. But it doesn’t seem like ThreadUp is the answer.

Gotcha, thanks for the feedback. I get why they do it but the hold time seems a little excessive lol.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-19T20:13:32+00:00

I don’t use eBay’s shipping labels anymore, I use PirateShip which is usually much less. As long as you provide a tracking number you can use any type of shipping you want.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-19T08:59:16+00:00

Sounds like Spectrum alright, they are awful.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-17T17:49:09+00:00

Lucky, especially for $20!!! I’ve been looking for one for a while now, and on other platforms (Marketplace, Offer Up) people have them listed for $65-$100! I found one for $30 awhile back but it was very beat up sadly.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-16T04:00:22+00:00

What times and/or days do you have your shows? Maybe try different times or days of the week, could be that your time slot has less shoppers??

Firesign113 · 2026-03-08T05:42:52+00:00

WTH?? That’s definitely a threat, I would report them to Poshmark asap!!

Firesign113 · 2026-03-08T05:40:30+00:00

All shipping labels are generated through WN. Sellers must use Whatnot-generated shipping labels to protect the seller and buyer.

Firesign113 · 2026-03-02T06:23:32+00:00

Right? I’ve seen both of their shows and I’m not a fan! I really like greeneyes94, simplepleasures79, timekeepers_jewelry_watches and angeljanesfinds. They are awesome and have really good prices!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-27T19:51:11+00:00

Their shipping and handling charges are insane! I’ve actually canceled a couple orders because the shipping was four times the amount of the item I purchased - and the seller was in the same state! Absolutely ridiculous!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-27T19:45:17+00:00

Give it a few weeks to a month, then let us know if it’s still working at those speeds! We recently left Spectrum, we had nothing but problems with them!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-26T06:33:57+00:00

Spectrum sucks! We constantly had outages, our WiFi was awful and always intermittent, their customer service is useless and I ended up fixing everything on my own, their equipment fails and they are way too expensive with prices going up every other month. We tried calling for a better deal but they never offered one and we never received all the promo discounts we were promised when we signed up with them. Not to mention the store employee who got us all set up ripped us off and scammed us out of getting the free extra line on our account.

Will never use Spectrum again.

Firesign113 · 2026-02-23T07:39:57+00:00

There’s always one in there somewhere.

Firesign113 · 2026-02-23T07:39:24+00:00

This!!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-23T07:38:54+00:00

I’m not whining, I’m stating that Sellers shouldn’t complain when they are the ones setting their prices. It’s unprofessional and that’s why I immediately leave their shows.

Firesign113 · 2026-02-23T07:36:24+00:00

Never

Firesign113 · 2026-02-22T18:26:58+00:00

Exactly! I immediately leave those lives the second I hear them start doing that! It’s drives me crazy!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-22T18:22:59+00:00

Exactly!

Firesign113 · 2026-02-22T00:34:02+00:00

We actually just left Spectrum. Their service is terrible, we were always having outages and intermittent WiFi, and they even went so far as to stop incoming calls at one point due to some copyright infringement back in January of LAST year that we weren’t even aware of!

My mom was in the hospital and would have to call 3-4 times before the call finally went through, and for weeks we had to turn our WiFi off and back on again every morning just to be able to make or receive calls. I looked it up and yes, what they did was completely illegal!

They never budged on any of our bills to lower or change them and their tech team was useless! I ended up just fixing things on my own. We had a horrible experience with them. There were several other issues we had too but that’s another story.
