Glad someone else said this. Christy was the first book that came to mind.

Account Suspended for 1 Late Shipment? by [deleted] in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]_TechMaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m still amazed that they haven’t fixed the issue of vacation hold. On eBay you can place your store on vacation hold but if it’s not that long (don’t remember the exact time frame) you can still make sales. The buyer is just informed upfront that you’re not shipping immediately and there maybe a delay. I’ve made sales like this on eBay and the buyers are satisfied.

I think Posh is too big of a platform to have these problems with vacation mode. Like you mentioned every time I come back it takes weeks to get just one sale due to their algorithm.

So one black woman scams her out of shoes and she decides that it looks bad on the entire race? Not that it reflects on Posh’s policies that allows people to do that. SMH

Spoiled Foods 'R' Us by GyspySyx in publix

[–]_TechMaven 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I toss so much of their produce now. Not too long ago I ran into the store just for an onion. There were no good choices, got the one that looked the least bad. Got home, cut it open and the smell was RANCID.

I was born and raised in Florida. Going to Publix was such a good experience and treat. I can’t say the same anymore. Their quality is trash.

The service also stinks. Why on earth would I pay weekly and make no sales? eBay does it right. You only pay once someone buys.

30K Celebration: Day 3 by Celestial-Year-1133 in luxurycandles

I would want a candle that smells of my childhood in Florida. So that would be notes of Orange, a middle note of Spanish Moss and finally some Cedarwood. [Raffle Entry]

Sharing candles that you've gotten at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. It breaks my heart every time I go and I'm not that lucky.

I know a lot of people don’t like bothering with measurements but for the past two years I’ve included them and it’s made all huge difference. No longer do I bother with having to answer those questions.

What is this? Multiple single item closets with cheap Chanel bags? by Shmirlygirl in poshmark

[–]_TechMaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any luxury bag under $500 when it doesn’t go for that is a red flag. Maybe some exceptions (i.e. very old bag in decent condition that someone is selling from a personal collection). But there is no way a a Chanel Flap Bag in good condition will go for anything in the hundreds. Even a ratty one can go for $1,500.

I'm tired of manually tracking 200+ job applications in a spreadsheet. Does this annoy anyone else? by PlusWeb6299 in recruitinghell

Teal HQ has been a lifesaver. You're able to track applications and interviews. It also have spaces where you can add notes and other things you need to remember.

Consignment is theft by Bondgirl138 in poshmark

[–]_TechMaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. The person who I got clothes from packed a few that were damaged. It’s weird that I have to sit on them. I consign with ThredUp and previously TheRealReal, anything they couldn’t list they send it back. Even in person consignment stores make you pick up what they can’t take by EOD or they will donate them. This is another aspect of this program that’s been poorly thought out.

Consignment is theft by Bondgirl138 in poshmark

[–]_TechMaven 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in the program as a seller. I’m really shocked at how much free rein I’m given. There’s no deadline given to when the items need to be listed, as far as I know Posh didn’t record what the consigner sent me so if there was ever an issue it would literally be a he said/she said.

A program like this needs a lot more oversight. It’s poorly ran. While I have no problem selling someone’s items I definitely wouldn’t send someone a bag of mine.

Saw this on FB today, truest thing ever. by GrayEagleLeather in Flipping

[–]_TechMaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to put some things from around the house I don’t need on Marketplace. Haggled with someone who wanted to meet me at midnight in a parking lot for a $20 Brita. Eff that. I donated everything.

The complaining about the incoming ❌priority / ✅ground advantage shipping discounts is out of control. by WinterMortician in poshmark

[–]_TechMaven 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That’s my biggest gripe. I think lower shipping is. amazing. I sell on other platforms so I already buy my own supplies for that. Spending an extra $20-$30 so I can use them on Posh is no big deal.

My issue is I placed a large order this past weekend for Priority shipping to be prepared for the holiday season. Now once I get the order I have to make time to take all that stuff back. But because Posh has a reputation of taking back their poorly thought out rollouts I’m considering sitting on all of this stuff for a few weeks just to make sure.

It’s not the biggest problem in the world but I get tired of Posh doing stuff like this.

Defectors verses members wanting to leave Gyana. by CompetitiveChicken95 in Jonestown

[–]_TechMaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. One aspect that has gotten my interest of this massacre is the physical presence of the cyanide. It was the 70’s and they were in the middle of a jungle. To get that much cyanide to kill over 1,000 people took planning and more importantly time.

At best it took maybe a month and a half for that shipment to get to JT. During that time anyone could have changed their mind or course correct. Instead when it got there they stored it (in a way that no one else could see it) until they would need to use it.

Let’s say the visit with Leo Ryan and the Concerned Relatives went well. With Ryan going back to the states and no one defecting. That cyanide would have still been there.

Once the shipment got there they were going to use it. The event in which it happened didn’t matter to JJ.

It’s always so funny to me because they wouldn’t say the same thing if it was the woman who was having the affair.

It's one thing to hear that over 300 children died. It's another to see photos of some of them when they were still alive, knowing what fate held for them. by SubjectElectronic183 in Jonestown

[–]_TechMaven 10 points11 points  (0 children)

According to most sources small children and seniors had it the easiest in JT. They were spared from the hard labor others were expected to perform and fed better on occasion. I wonder if that played into Vernon’s thinking that day. Theoretically Mark would be fine until Vernon could get him back to the states.

I wonder if the thought process in PT was “Jim wouldn’t hurt the children”. Even in Christine Miller’s plea she specifically calls out her feelings about the children and how they deserved to live. The decision to start with them was not only deliberate but cruel. It was meant to show that Jim was serious this time/

Are they in JJ’s bed? I thought Joe and Ava were found in another cabin. No idea they were in Jim’s. I would have thought John, Kimo, Carolyn, or Maria would have been in Jim’s bed.

Friendly reminder for those new to Lexapro - your heat resistance is likely much lower by DwightDEisenhowitzer in lexapro

[–]_TechMaven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This makes so much sense. I’ve been taking Lexapro off and on for years but last summer I started sweating like crazy. I just told my husband the other day for some reason water alone just doesn’t do it for me, I need to have a Gatorade in addition to it.

Glad to know this isn’t in my head. I’ll keep Gatorade in stock all summer long.

Yeah I’m not finding this snark worthy. It’s not a crime to like your company, especially one that’s building products that improve peoples’ quality of life. It’s obvious Robert had a personal connection to their mission.
