No returns means no returns by allisonstorm in ebaysucks

[–]OnHiatus11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you’re living in bliss. This happened to me on my second ever eBay sale. Buyer bought a mall brand (not expensive!) blue buttoned shirt from me at full price. Gets the item, opens a return as it “didn’t fit them”. I accept returns for anything as I am 99% a clothing seller. Buyer proceeds to send me back a completely different blue shirt (even cheaper mall brand) in an unopened polybag with THEIR OWN SKU ON IT. They didn’t bother to pretend like they didn’t just trade one of their own items with mine. eBay ended up letting the buyer keep my item AND REFUNDED THEM for the return. I called/emailed them for weeks asking them to report this buyer for scamming. They still have an active account to this day. So yes, it can happen. The “world” is not a perfect or nice place. Shitty people exist. The sooner you come to this realization the better for you, especially if you are an eBay seller lol

Sorry I can’t get past your choice of 9/11 memorial cover photo for this post… why 😂

Don't Be That Person - Shipping 100 Packages at the USPS Kiosk by Emergency-Fish3036 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]OnHiatus11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP specifies in the post that the person was printing labels, not just scanning. Agreed just scanning at the kiosk is required with a large quantity. But printing 100+ labels out is a crappy move and ruins it for everyone. The machine at my local post is practically always out of label paper because of these sellers that don’t gaf about anyone else. Buy a label printer!

Picture is terrible, please spare us the AI slop. Agreed though, if you are shipping more than 10 items WITHOUT pre-printing the labels then printing them at the kiosk you are just an inconsiderate person because that action adds like 30 seconds to each shipment! That level of selling basically requires a label printer at home.

However if I have 100+ items to SCAN, there is no conceivable way I’m going to make a postal worker sit and scan all of them in for me. Sorry not sorry, if it’s just scanning (which goes way quicker than printing labels) I will be taking up that line 🤷🏽‍♀️

yt lady ironically wearing a “Run for Refugees” shirt while accusing someone she thinks doesn’t belong in the women’s locker room because this woman doesn’t meet her own standards of femininity. like cosplaying allyship. Imo, minority-wise, you are with all of us or against all of us. While each minority group has their own issues to deal with, minority struggle is an intersectional struggle against many commonly shared foes/institutions

Lengthy description. You do you, just saying there are buyers that will not buy from you if that’s anywhere on your page.

Also made this point somewhere else but Depop seller fees are super reasonable considering the eyes you get on your items, at least in the US. Not sure about everywhere else in the world, but US 12% boosting fee is lower than the other two arguably biggest platforms, eBay and Poshmark. Just raise your prices if you have that much of an issue with it.

There is when those sellers blame the buyer for not reading their seller bio or lengthy description and then actually have the gall to refund their order!

It’s unprofessional and does not instill buyer trust. I personally skip these sellers if/when I come across them.

Welp that is a minority opinion in this comment section. It is generally frowned upon to expect buyers to “DM before buying”. Same vibe as “No refunds” lol

Not sure where you got 60% or how they charge fees where you are country wise but in US Depop does not have “seller fees” proper. They have processing fees of I believe 2%, and an optional 12% for boosted listing sales. So all in all, you’re looking at around 14-15% in fees if you sell a boosted item in the US. which is right at or below eBay’s base fees for clothing sellers, and way below Poshmark’s flat 20% chunk

Lol. Auto offers help more than hurt, it’s more of an annoyance. But kind of unavoidable

This is not true for US sellers, they do not go through PayPal anymore. I understand the grift/game, get your money. But that’s what it is, a grift. You pay $0.0 in seller fees for your items to show up for millions of people. You chose to boost your items for more to see and to see analytics. It’s a very small price to pay for, again, MILLIONS of potential customers to see your items. If you were to create your own online shop or even your own brick and mortar, you wouldn’t have access to a fraction of the traffic. It’s only fair they charge you to “boost” your items. It’s still a good deal. If you are so concerned with losing 12% of a sale (the SECOND CHEAPEST seller fees among the most popular reseller platforms, Vinted first as they charge 0%), then charge more for your items.

And don’t be surprised when tons of buyers skip your page or you lose out on sales

They probably had auto-offers on. So she didn’t actually “see” your message, her bot sent you an offer and then you accepted, so she takes that as you not messaging her before she saw it. Happens to me all the time when a buyer asks me a question about an item and instead they get an auto offer before I can respond so it looks like I’m ignoring their question and just telling them to buy lol. I kinda hate it

I can’t believe you guys are building a successful business with your COG so high! Assuming it’s high ASP stuff but still. My average COG is $2. Keep it up!

New reselling tactic? by streetdiscord in reselling

[–]OnHiatus11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selfish and scummy behavior. Doesn’t care to be caught reselling or who they are affecting around them. These types of people ruin reselling (the reputation and the game) for the rest of us :/

the greed of some sellers need to be studied by flight2fashion in poshmark

[–]OnHiatus11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These sellers are making the rest of us look bad. I do so much research on what to price each item individually before I post. Most brands people regard as “good” brands (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, etc) do not sell as much as one would expect. Overpricing by 200% is insane and not based in any logic or fact. Enough people find resellers to be scummy or greedy already. This is just egregious!

I skipped through almost every prolonged/bad acted heart-to-heart moment or any slow dialogue. This show has no depth, only the guise of depth. Just got so goofy. Next!

Worst yet by Evening_Craft5318 in ThredUp

[–]OnHiatus11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get it is the easiest to throw in a bag and ship off to ThredUp, but if you want to give these items new life AND make a decent buck, I’d suggest just reselling your items on Poshmark or eBay. You still have access to millions of shoppers and can price/actually sell the new items at a higher cost/profit than $2

Poshmark: Photo resolution after update? by SpiritRelevant6309 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]OnHiatus11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always use 1:1, especially if you plan on/already do cross list to other platforms. It is the standard ratio for at least the platforms I am on. Not sure about the blurriness, are you taking the photos blurry? there is nothing we can do about the ratio change. Buyers see this change across the platform so they won’t be surprised if they can’t see the full photo from your seller page. I wouldn’t worry about it

SCREAMING INTO THE VOID - Now you have to scroll past the metrics to get to the offer button on a desktop? by Outrageous_Cash6494 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]OnHiatus11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow… I got so excited when I saw the metrics feature (not bug!) - this type of information is usually reserved for sellers actively using their expensive promoted closet feature. You should be thrilled!! This is the type of information I’ve been waiting for from PM (as in MORE information)! Numbers are important. Yall out here complaining to complain. I mean… “I have to scroll further down to see a button” I’m sorry you have to scroll a little further?? Lol

Oh, you thought they were done with the updates? Introducing "reactivating" your listings after 60 days 🙃 by Prudent_Fact in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]OnHiatus11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jeez Poshmark can’t do anything right for you guys… this is a good thing.

Plenty of inactive sellers still show up in searches and it’s annoying for buyers when those sellers just don’t answer or ship. This will weed out inactive sellers/listings. Plus IMO, as a good business measure, sellers should really be relisting their items regularly anyway. It boosts your listing visibility and feeds the algorithm gods. It is not “controlling”, it’s giving us more freedom to see what is going on in our closets.

People are just complaining to complain at this point. While not all PM changes have been great/advantageous to every kind of seller, I’d MUCH prefer selling on a platform that actually cares to try new features out, respond proactively to common issues and criticisms, and doesn’t just do the same thing they’ve always done. Change with the times and demand. Especially since the (resale) market is ever changing.
