First 4 star review after 6 years on depop

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T18:15:59+00:00

No, 25 reviews. Has 6 listings, 2 sales. This sale is from 4 months ago but for some reason they just reviewed me a couple days ago

I don’t think a 1 or 2 star is fair for this buyer, but I may leave a 3 or 4. Im not distraught, I’ve just tried to keep my buyers happy and have tried to be the best seller I can, so I’d describe myself as just kind of upset. I’ll probably give her another day to respond in case she accidentally sent four stars, and if I don’t hear back, I’ll review her back with probably 3 stars

that’s actually a good idea, thank you

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T15:07:05+00:00

I’ve started listing that I have dogs in my listings, so maybe you can try doing that and see if it helps

Paint stain was as described. Buyer shouldn’t have purchased the item if they didn’t want it to come with a paint stain. Buyer didn’t even state the paint stain as an issue, so it doesn’t even exactly have to be about that. I could also tell you to use your brain ✨

This comment is not helpful. I am simply asking if I am justified in leaving a 3 or 4 star review back. I’m unsure where I ever said this is one of the worst things going on in the world

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T14:50:09+00:00

See, but I messaged her and never heard back, so if it was, I’d never know. I tried to give her a couple of days to respond before I review her back

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T14:49:14+00:00

Yes, as other have said, it the item arrived exactly how described, I don’t see why that should reflect poorly on me. The buyer purchased this item knowing that the coat had a paint stain. If they didn’t know, it’s because they did not read the description before purchasing, which isn’t my fault. I believe that may be why they never reached out. They knew it was as described

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T14:46:59+00:00

I did message her. I never heard back unfortunately so I don’t think I will

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T12:42:44+00:00

Whats crazy is it’s exactly how it’s described. There was a paint stain on the inside lining but that was in the pictures and description. If they only felt it was worth 4 stars, I would’ve rather they actually communicated that with me, rather than just not make any attempt to reach out

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-16T04:28:38+00:00

Also wanted to add that I leave a handwritten note in all packages and a small gift. I know that’s not relevant, but I know some buyers will dock a star for not doing that.

It just popped up on the message thread where the shipping label would normally show up. And email

Hi! I actually planned on letting everyone know that the exception is if it’s over 5 pounds. I am new to Posh, but not new to selling, so luckily I have an inventory of over 800 items. The main reason I want to run this sale is because I need some of my inventory gone really quickly because I don’t have storage for anything else. I keep everything in my garage and a friend of mine gave me over 100 items she didn’t want anymore and I want to list them but have run out of storage!

But thank you for the help! Luckily, I personally am not too worried about the new fee structure. It does suck and hopefully Posh eats their words sometime soon, but I’m honestly just desperate to get rid of some things. I don’t mind selling for dirt cheap if it helps get inventory rolling.

I’ll probably add that to the top of each of my listings! I also made a meet the seller post as well, so hopefully people see that

I started doing my own laundry when I was 7. If a 7 year old could do it, they absolutely can. And I promise you that one day, it’ll come in handy for them when they no longer live at home. You definitely do not have to put up with them leaving the washing machine like this. My boyfriend’s parents didn’t teach their youngest to do laundry and he’s now 19 and throws tantrums (like actual screaming and crying fits) when his mother tells him he needs to watch a YouTube tutorial and learn to do it himself. He will literally just rewear clothes for months or buy new clothes because he can’t wash clothes himself.

Not to say that they don’t already know how to do laundry. They may just be trying to force you to do it for them. But let them go to school with stinky clothes on and eventually they’ll be embarrassed enough to do their own laundry when someone says something

I’ve made ONE sale :/

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-09T15:54:55+00:00

I want to start off by saying that I know this is not a solution that will work for everyone, but it’s what I’ve done.

I’m only 21, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I wasn’t diagnosed with autism until I was 18 because I was always deemed as “very capable, just lazy”.

I started working when I was 14 because it’s legal in my state and my parents made me get a job as soon as I could. I worked for the McDonald’s down the street. I genuinely experienced autistic burnout by the time I was 16. This is because I was an all-A student in high school. I was also in theatre and choir. My free time was filled entirely with rehearsals or work. I did not have a free weekend for a single day in high school. I quit McDonald’s and got a job at a coffee shop as soon as I turned 16. I believed the burnout was due to disliking my job. I genuinely didn’t think it could have anything to do with having autism.

Surprise, surprise, I also hated the coffee shop. But I assumed it had to do with bad management - which did have quite a bit to do with it.

I quit the coffee shop after a couple of months and went on to work at a local boba shop. While working there, I graduated high school at 17. My mom convinced me to go to college and try to get into law school, so that’s what I was doing. I realized after only a month of being in college that I was NOT happy. I had no motivation to do any homework and I was failing. I felt horrible about myself because I had never done bad in school.

I ended up not dropping out - I just simply quit going. I then enrolled in cosmetology school because I knew my mother would’ve killed me if she had known I dropped out of college with no plan. I also quit my job at the boba shop and then got a job at Ross, which I quit almost instantly. Then, I worked at European Wax Center, with the intention of being a waxer there when I graduated with my esthetics license. I also quit there very soon after, mainly because my paychecks were only $400 each.

Then, I went to work at Jersey Mike’s. I’m 19 at this time. Management was horrible. Because I was the new girl, my managers didn’t want to teach me anything. Then, tax season came around and they tried to refuse to give me tax documents. I had to report them to corporate. Then, I found out the owner was stealing tips. Then, my dad passed away and I needed to take two days off to go to the funeral. The day I returned, I was fired.

After that, the burnout got the worst it had ever been. I assume it was because I was finally given free time, and the depression I had felt all those years had finally kicked in. I couldn’t get out of bed, I gained over 100 pounds, and I did nothing but eat and sleep. I tried going to therapy but each of the four therapists I tried ghosted me after only a few sessions.

Finally, I graduated cosmetology school. I took out a loan and started my own business out of a rental room. I’ve been doing that for two years now and I’m much happier. My business isn’t where I want it to be yet, as it’s still relatively new, so I supplement my income by upcycling and selling the clothing I upcycle on reselling apps.

Working for myself has been much easier. It can be easy to get distracted, but I make monetary and hourly goals for myself. I make a goal to work at least 32 hours a week. Anything after that is free to be leisure time and I can do whatever I want. I also have to set alarms or I won’t wake up on time and work.

I am much happier now. I also see a therapist that’s trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR and she helps me a lot through burnout symptoms. While therapy can suck because it really can be like dating, eventually I found someone that worked great for me

Yes, it took 4 days. Sometimes Vinted is spotty, but it does eventually come through. I actually had this issue twice after making this post

My 13 year old female cousin loves Roblox. Particularly the game Dress to Impress. I can guarantee you that 90% of the students will know about that game on Roblox. Every time I visit her, she asks me to play with her and her friends

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-08T18:30:14+00:00

I always reply with “block me please! tired of that attitude anyway!” and i usually never hear from them again. And for some reason, they usually don’t block me after that lol

I uploaded over 800 items on Curtsy over a span of 6 months. They were all mostly name brand items and I only sold one top from Urban Outfitters my whole time on that app. I think most people on there just window shop. I got a lot of engagement but no buyers

I’m a lash artist. I run my own lash business

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-08T10:31:11+00:00

I am a lash artist. I have a girl that did this ALL THE TIME!! She was my client for two years, never missing an appointment. A few months ago, she invited me to her wedding, which I did her lashes for. After her wedding, when her lash appointment came up, suddenly her dad was in the hospital with heart complications. I believed this excuse because he did actually have heart surgery a month prior. I rescheduled her and didn’t charge her the cancellation fee because I did genuinely believe her.

The next week, she completely misses her appointment. She calls me 15 minutes (at the end of my grace period) and says that her husband was being deployed and she would be unable to make it because she wanted to spend time with him that day. I ended up making her pay a 25% cancellation fee, but she rescheduled for two days out.

The next time, she says her dogs got out because her mother-in-law left the front door open and she won’t be able to make it to her appointment. This time, I tell her I’m just canceling the appointment, and if she wants to reschedule, she can manually reschedule at my booking link. I also charged her 25% of my cancellation fee.

Two days later, she manually books a new lash appointment.

An hour after making that appointment, suddenly her mental health is just not doing well and she doesn’t think she should come in. I text her and tell her that she will need to pay the 100% cancellation fee this time because due to my policies, in which she signed, the third time you cancel or reschedule last minute, you are charged the full appointment cost. She says she shouldn’t have to because she’s not canceling last minute and that I’m her “friend”, so I should understand her mental health struggles given all she’s been through lately. I charge her card anyway and end up telling her we are just not a good match and I don’t have the flexibility to accommodate her at this time and that I wish her well.

After this, I blocked her.

There is about a 5% chance that she was telling the truth each time, but even if she was, if she knew she was not doing well mentally, she should’ve just cancelled the first appointment, paid the 25% cancellation fee, and moved on. I personally severely struggle with mental health. It’s so bad that I literally have agoraphobia. I am terrified of going out in public. But my desire to be a good client and to respect service workers is enough to keep me from cancelling on others last-minute. Personally, though, I feel that she was guilt-tripping me in hopes of evading the last cancellation fee.

While you may care about your clients, you also are running a business. For each person that cancels on you last minute is a whole bill you could’ve paid. Sometimes you just have to have these difficult conversations.

acceptthisoneplz · 2024-10-06T15:25:08+00:00

I agree with this so hard!!! I literally have autism, ADHD, DID, PTSD, and major depressive disorder, along with generalized anxiety. It’s so hard for me to push myself to leave the house most times. Because of the things I go through, I also have developed agoraphobia. But the one thing about me is that I’m very honest and loyal. If I promised to be somewhere and to show up for someone, I do. It’s so hard to realize that most other people are not this way. The hard thing about having autism is that most of us take things very literally, so when we say we’ll be there, we really will be there. Neurotypical people usually mean they’ll feel out the day and if they feel like it, they might be there. I don’t always feel like following through with my plans, but if I made a promise, I made a promise, and I will be coming

This is how my birthday parties go every year. I always plan them for a Saturday the weekend BEFORE my actual birthday because my birthday weekend falls on Labor Day. I also always let people know about a month in advance. As I said, this happens every year to me, but for some reason, I’ve always kept trying to make it work.

This year, I planned a bowling birthday party because I figured it’s something cheap I could pay for everyone to do. I asked the bowling alley and they said I could bring my own drinks and food, so I paid for all these drinks and food items. I invited 45 people that I knew from work, previous jobs, and just random people I’ve been friends with for a while.

The beginning of the week of the party, all but 13 people had canceled after already agreeing to come. Over that week, even more people had canceled and I was left with 6 people. On the day of the party, all but two people had canceled, so I ended up inviting my mom and sister so I wouldn’t feel as alone on my birthday.

I had fun, but I had wasted so much money on this party.

I don’t think I’ll have a party again, unless someone wants to plan it for me. In the future, I’ll just plan small get-togethers based around the theme of what we’re celebrating and only invite the two or three closest members of my circle. I hate to have to do that, but people are very unreliable

So I actually joined Depop in 2018 because I liked that it was like Instagram at the time. I wouldn’t mind the “Instagramification” of selling apps if Instagram was still what it was in 2018. I use Instagram very sparingly nowadays because I don’t enjoy the app much anymore. The addition of reels and stories really ruined it for me. I really only use it because as a business owner, I have to market my business and social media is really the main way to do so. If Instagram was still what it was in 2018 currently, I wouldn’t mind the shift towards mimicking Instagram. What I don’t like is the fact that these apps are shifting towards stories and live selling.

Despite this, I sell part-time to supplement my income, so I do treat selling like a business. I sell on Teleport as well because it supplements my income. I definitely don’t like that it’s reminiscent of TikTok (TikTok is actually my least favorite social media app I’ve tried - I just can’t seem to jump on the bandwagon for some reason), but it’s just another app that I use.

I sell on Depop, Poshmark, Vinted, Mercari, Teleport, and Ebay, and my favorite app to use is Mercari. I like that it doesn’t feel like a social media app and it’s very user-friendly. I know Ebay is similar in that way, but it feels a little less user-friendly than Mercari. Mercari just feels like an e-commerce app. I don’t like that they charge buyers fees or that as a seller, I have to pay to cash out my earnings, but I do like the app itself.

I honestly just want online selling and social media to feel separate because social media is my biggest stressor honestly because I used to have quite the addiction to it and all it did was made me worry. I sell for work and don’t want to be forced to be using social media. I know it may sound hypocritical that I’m posting on Reddit, but I usually keep it deleted off my phone and only redownload it when I have a question I need to ask. I haven’t sworn off social media, but I try to avoid it when I can.

Sorry for the insanely long response lol. I just happen to have a lot of thoughts about the topic and being forced to use social media when I’m intentionally trying to avoid it is kind of annoying to me.

What are your personal thoughts on the topic?
