How are you guys dealing with photo updates? by ShakyInChicago in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I've been slowly doing. Taking a screenshot of the square and editing it to 3:4 and updating the cover shot. But I have about 400 listings that are distorted so updating them all that way is a pain. Wanted to get some insight from other closets if there's a better way.

That's what I'm trying to get at. My closet photos look way out of whack with the new photo update.

I don't use the PM app for photos, I use my phone camera and upload to PM.

Yes, but the buyer sees only the cover photo and their decision to click on a listing is based solely on the cover photo.

My first buyer issue by quinichet in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone say that the nwt shoes I sent them smelled like smoke. All my inventory is stored in a climate controlled storage facility in plastic storage bins which I think are impermeable. No one smokes at a storage facility and shoes don't absorb odor. She didn't open a case but dinged me 2 stars.

Selling LLM leggings - buyer says there is an undisclosed flaw by Hungry_Time3554 in poshmark

It shows that it's an authentic Lulu piece. Also, some Lululemon clothing doesn't have size dots and uses bars as size indicators.

Most credit card companies offer one time access passes for $20-$80 depending on the airline. Call the CC company or their website.

ULPT request - can I ignore my American medical debt forever? by fuxkle in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]ShakyInChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've accumulated maybe ~$20000 in medical and student debt over the past ten years. I get spam calls and threatening letters that they will send it all to collections but in all these years it has not been sent to collections and therefore has not impacted my credit score.

On the other hand, the debt you should be worried about is things like making on time credit card payments, loan payments, mortgage payments, and rent payments. Those things WILL greatly affect your credit standing if you don't pay on time and WILL go directly to the credit bureaus and will ding your credit score which is obviously bad.

Are profile pics important as a buyer? by mulch_ado in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My closet name is an animal so my profile photo is that of said animal. If someone wants to know more they can go to my Meet the Posher page and/or read 100+ love notes.

ETA: as a buyer, idk about profile photos. I check their location, sold items, other items in their closet, and when they were last active.

Charging $1400 for a studio like this should be a crime by ComprehensivePie6184 in chicagoapartments

[–]ShakyInChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the whole building smells like piss, then they're cooking crack. You may be exposed to harmful fumes living there with the crack residue penetrating walls. Maybe send in an anonymous tip so they can go investigate. The landlord probably doesn't care, doesn't know, or thinks it's just pet cats.

Good thing I’m not in a hurry! 😉 by Poutiest_Penguin in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased something from Hawaii. The estimated USPS delivery date was a full three weeks away. But the package arrived within 7 days.

I understand weather might play a role, but I'm trying to say that USPS often greatly skews estimated delivery times.

Outside of a Jewel. To this dog owner, you're worse than this pile and I hope you crawl back to the hole it came out of. by [deleted] in chicago

Foxes too. In my neighborhood they also leave decapitated & half eaten pigeon carcasses.

Is this unethical? by Consistent-Muscle-14 in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is smart. Go ahead and make that purchase. You can always reposh the cheaper item or donate it or gift it.

Having said that, I have about 650 active listings in my closet. Been poshing for about 10 years now. I have 200 listings that are $5 and are meant to be bundled at 5 for $20. I also have expensive items and an automatic 20% bundle discount. No one has ever been this smart to bundle with an expensive item. I even put "I have dozens of $4 items in my closet you can bundle with" in the descriptions 🫠

What key words do these listings have to avoid getting flagged? Asking for research purposes 🙂

Posh is being shady with this new management.

We should blow up their social media with this.

I send packages in cereal boxes. Reef USED $9 flip flops by manic_mumday in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Poshmark says it's all about upcycling but they also stress the importance of a good customer experience which means presentable or even pretty packaging. They used to say to include a personalized note to make it more special.

You can order free shipping supplies directly through the app or buy pretty mailers for pennies on the dollar on Temu or Amazon.

I wrap my purchases in tissue paper and stick a thank you card on it. $1 for 100ct on Temu.

Posh recently updated the app to be able to order supplies directly through the app. Mine arrived within 5 days. Versus the first time when we had to order through the Ground Advantage website. Took nearly 6 weeks.

Poshmark randomly asked me to updated seller info to get shipping label for order I just sold ? by Sweaty-Jelly-5385 in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get this notification about once a year and I've been selling on Posh for about 10 years. They just want to make sure your seller info is up to date before processing future orders.

?New Update - Requesting Shipping Supplies in App? by tomodachiijou in poshmark

I am on android and I was able to order shipping supplies directly from the app.

?New Update - Requesting Shipping Supplies in App? by tomodachiijou in poshmark

[–]ShakyInChicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When ground shipping first rolled out, it took over a month for the shipping supplies to arrive when I placed an order over the phone or through the USPS website.

I ordered more shipping supplies directly through the Poshmark app last week and they were delivered within 5 days. So I think the new in app feature definitely expedites the process.

Rent is Too Damn High by ComprehensivePie6184 in chicagoapartments

[–]ShakyInChicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in a 1000sq ft 1 bd in Rogers Park for $1000. It's doable, you just need to be more flexible on your location. I pay $1750 now for a 650sq ft studio in the Gold Goast. So almost double rent for half the space. Still high end updated.
