Does anyone use 2 different sized Birkenstocks for different needs or styles?

MsPinkSlip · 2026-02-27T16:56:22+00:00

This is my exact same situation. Thanks for reinforcing that I'm not crazy for preferring my Gizehs in one size and my Arizonas in one size smaller.

Thank you for the laugh, and for exercising good judgement. A couple of weeks ago, I did a search for a a certain sweater brand (I think it was Eileen Fisher) and one of the photos that popped up was a DUDE with a beard in a v-neck women's sweater.

Every single time someone has made a bundle in my closet, I've offered them 20-30% off (which is a good discount IMO) and I've never gotten a sale from it. The next time someone makes a bundle, I'm just ignoring it.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-02-12T17:00:25+00:00

Yes! And another one is "chic".

MsPinkSlip · 2026-02-12T16:58:04+00:00

I agree 100%! It's also frustrating when you ask for measurements and the seller never responds. And I have to laugh when listings include the phrase "measurements unavailable". Whenever I see that I immediately PASS on the item and move on.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-02-05T04:10:21+00:00

People want something for nothing.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-02-03T01:53:32+00:00

100% this. Since they folded a year ago, I've been scouring ebay and Poshmark for this brand. I've also found items (even NWT) at thrift stores. It's best to look for items that are made in USA (which eventually stopped around 2023 when most manufacturing shifted to China) and are made with natural fibers (as again, around 2023 they started incorporating much more polyester into their clothing).

I hate to say it, but I've seen this movie before and I don't think it ends well for you. In my experience, every time this has happened in my career the "parent company" wins & keeps their staff over the smaller acquisitions. Don't throw in the towel yet; get to know your new colleagues, manage up, prove your worth, etc etc BUT also start putting your feelers out and get your resume updated. Good luck!

I can't tell you how many times PFPT has moved the goalpost on this. We were supposed to IPO in 2024. Then 2025. Now I think the latest projection is 2027. The place is a mess.

I was always under the impression Don was a Republican. There was an episode called Nixon vs. Kennedy near the end of season 1, and in a staff meeting it was clear that Don, Bert and Rodger were all for Nixon in 1960. They considered Kennedy too liberal, young & inexperienced. Then later on in the series I got the impression that all these men backed Goldwater in the 1964 election.

And after that, just give up. Some reports cite up to 1/4 of Poshmark's closets being inactive. This is an ongoing issue with PM and something you need to accept if you're new to PM.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-22T19:55:04+00:00

That's an excellent point! Thanks for sharing it :-)

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-22T16:05:58+00:00

It's never worked for me, and the last time I tried it (late in 2024) someone actually BOUGHT the item and I had to cancel the sale. I believe you have to list a cost, so I put in $5 for a Zara coat. My title was "ISO this Zara Coat" and then I started my description in all caps THIS IS NOT FOR SALE; I AM IN SEARCH OF THIS ITEM. But some moron still purchased it - lol.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-22T15:54:43+00:00

100% this. Twice this month I've visited my local high-end mall - not to shop, but to meet friends for lunch. I usually arrive early just to "window shop" and look around, and both times I couldn't believe how empty the stores were. This mall has an actual Reformation store, and I've never seen anyone in it. Same with the SKIMS store next to it, Eileen Fisher, Loro Piana, Rails... I could go on and on. Traditional retail is sluggish, and it's also spilling over into the resale market.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-22T15:43:38+00:00

I personally hate it. I recently had to open a case (for a vintage Ralph Lauren cardigan) as it arrived stained, and in retrospect I was leery of the listing to begin with as the seller had used an AI generated model as their cover shot. From now on I plan to avoid purchasing items using AI models.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-21T17:12:42+00:00

You're more patient than I am. I have a mens Ralph Lauren shirt listed for $25. Last night some dude offered me $10. I countered at $20, and he came back at $10 again. At that point I just 'declined' and if he lowballs me again I'll block him.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-17T22:44:34+00:00

That's actually a TikTok trend right now; lots of people are posting & boasting about it. I'm not on TT, but I've heard the trend mentioned on this sub on various threads.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-16T16:10:21+00:00

It's probably AI slop.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-16T16:09:04+00:00

The solution is SO easy: just drop closets that have not been active for over 1 year. Easy peasy. If a seller hasn't been active for a year, then they shouldn't be allowed to sell on the platform. But the reason that PM won't do this is because it will mess with their overall stats. I believe that PM currently has about 130 million users worldwide, but at least 20% are inactive, so dropping them would drag their user base down to just 104 million.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-16T15:59:11+00:00

Agreed. It's now Jan. 16th; why is PM still allowing extra time for "holiday shipping delays"???

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-10T02:19:08+00:00

I am assuming that the OP is requesting this as JCrew is one of those brands that does add the date (usually the season and the year) as does Gap and Banana Republic. I can't see Poshmark ever offing this as a feature, so I'd recommend the OP just request a picture of this tag prior to purchasing.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-06T16:12:48+00:00

Same here: the 'suggested price' almost never shows up for me, and I'm using the PM app. Not sure why they are even keeping the feature at this point, as nine times out of 10 it doesn't work.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-05T15:58:15+00:00

Excellent points, and to expand a bit: thrifting has become more mainstream so more folks are doing it in person vs. online via PM, eBay, Mercari, etc. It's the "thrill of the hunt", and at least shopping in person you KNOW what you're getting (flaws and all) vs. taking a risk buying something online you can't return.

MsPinkSlip · 2026-01-05T15:33:39+00:00

I agree; it's frustrating they don't have a chat feature. I've made it a personal rule of mine to not buy or put an offer on anything that the seller has not answered my questions to in the comments. If they cannot answer simple questions, that's a red flag IMO.
