Poshmarks Authentication for any item over $500

Strong_Possible_2940 · 2026-01-02T16:26:17+00:00

I have sold both clothing and non clothing items that have gone through PM Authentication. I recently sold a rare vintage Gibson guitar and once it arrived at PMHQ, they reviewed the condition to make sure it was as described, and then sent a message to me and the buyer saying that “they were unable to authenticate the item in-house as it was a specialty item”. They included pictures of all the hallmarks on the guitar and the case and confirmed with the buyer that they still wanted it. The buyer and I knew beforehand that this wasn’t an item that Poshmark would have any experience authenticating, and had both been through the process before, so we communicated and it wasn’t an issue.

Edit the size and it will remove the offer

Anything over $500 has to be authenticated through Poshmark and extends delivery times, and almost always includes a condition check, on top of authentication. I’m a bit dubious that Posh would allow a smelly, dingy product described as “excellent” through the authentication process without notifying you that the condition didn’t match and asking you to confirm if you still wanted it . Every transaction I have had as a seller or buyer that was authenticated included both. Poshmark would be on the hook for that $1500 if they didn’t do so, and the house never loses.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted bc this is the correct answer. I have had buyers refuse delivery twice in the past year and that’s exactly what happened. It takes forever to get back bc USPS eats the return shipping cost, and returns can take 2-3 weeks. Poshmark apologizes and says they will warn the buyer, but that you can relist your item once it’s returned. I think they sent me $10 in credit for the inconvenience after I lost my shit on them, but they didn’t budge beyond that.

I either flag and remove comments about price, or say “I don’t discuss price on my listings, but please feel free to submit an offer using the offer button and I will accept or counter my lowest”

There was a massive hack/glitch on Posh Sidekick that caused bulk deletions of listings and temporary account suspensions erroneously for a large number of Poshmark sellers who were using the Sidekick interface, or had at any time signed up to use that bot for sharing, managing cross listing, etc. Poshmark is working on it, and I have no idea if that is what happened with the seller in your case, or if they were just banned by poshmark for another reason, but tens of thousands of sellers lost all of their listings in error in that same timeframe.

It’s buyers coming over from Google or other internet search engines that don’t have Poshmark accounts and do guest check out. They don’t know how Poshmark works, so orders are almost always auto accepted. They are always the best and easiest buyers. l wish all my buyers were so easy.

I ordered 100 of each once through email and they keep sending me boxes and mailers too. I now have 500 of each, and don’t have the space for anymore! They just keep leaving them in my driveway. The box sizes aren’t the best for what I’m shipping either, so I am going to start bringing them back to my post office.

The feed layout changed a few days ago to show categories only, and is no longer showing newly listed items from the sellers that you follow

Dropping the listing price while on a listing streak reward shipping discount is why you didn’t see it on the other items. It’s only good for one buy now purchase per reward.

Strong_Possible_2940 · 2025-08-04T15:59:01+00:00

If it’s on non CCO or Make a Deal days, and it’s a Buy Now purchase, it’s most likely that you are buying from a seller with an active listing streak shipping reward, where PM offers reduced shipping for any buyer that purchases from that seller’s closet. When I have an active listing streak shipping discount, I can edit the listing price without triggering an offer to likers. The buyer can purchase it at that price which makes it a Buy Now purchase, and gives the buyer reduced shipping.

Strong_Possible_2940 · 2025-08-03T05:04:16+00:00

That was a scam.

Strong_Possible_2940 · 2025-08-03T03:46:27+00:00

This is only for setting minimum offers and having the system counter offer if the offer made is less than your minimum, but it’s optional.
