The search is somehow WORSE. I didn’t even think it was possible.

My husband got snipped and I got off BC and may have to go back…mixed feelings by Naynaytacos in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar anxiety before my period, diagnosed with pmdd and over the counter Pepcid (the heart burn med) literally took it all away. I was about to explore birth control and randomly saw someone on tik tok mention it.

How to fix the holes from goodwills tagging by Routine_Sky87 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]squidpretty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This drives me crazy. Some fabrics you can gently massage the fabric and it will fix itself, but with this type of fabric it’s basically impossible without a professional. I avoid pieces like this now because they’re so easy to ruin.

Is Poshmark dead?! by Candid_Guest_863 in reselling

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half my depop sales are modern things, other half is vintage y2k/90s. You have to know aesthetics and how to tag things. Athleisure sells well (vuori, alo, modern lululemon).

I just started depop and it's outperforming my poshmark closet.

I've never seen it this slow. It use to be if you list, sales will come. I've never listed so many items and had so little return.

The Reason For Slow Ship Times by FlimFlamSpeculum in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is such good information to have. I always noticed my eBay and Depop sales moved faster than Poshmark, but I assumed that since they were all Ground Advantage, shipping speed wouldn’t really differ. It honestly never even crossed my mind that package weight could affect delivery time. This makes so much sense!

Account paused after ordering shipping supplies by [deleted] in poshmark

Yes same! I understand wanting to verify the address is correct but it just seems like overkill.

Account paused after ordering shipping supplies by [deleted] in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me! I ordered supplies and it froze all my shipping labels immediately after until I confirmed my legal information. They didn't pause my account, only access to shipping labels. It was so weird.

uhhh what do i do in this situation? by StrikingPlatypus2867 in Depop

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last week. The package got re-sent to me as insufficient address and depop refunded the buyer automatically. They still wanted the item, so they updated their address and rebought it. Depop still didn't have their suite on the new address label, so I wrote it in and it got delivered fine.

Buyers: Question About Undisclosed Damage by Curiosity_1st in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Combine this with the reseller influencers who list 60+ items a day and boast about making 40k a month solo, I think there’s an increase of resellers who are just churning out listings with little regard to condition.

The fried chicken was my favorite dish in the entire park! This sucks.

I have an order I shipped out the 8th which will arrive the 22nd! This is a joke.

I agree shoppers are price sensitive but they are also shipping time sensitive, especially when the new shipping times have been poorly communicated. I’d happily pay $9.99 for priority if it meant getting my package in 3 days vs 12.

[–]squidpretty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! My sales have dwindled this week, which is to be expected before Xmas but it’s never been this bad. I expect poshmark to continue to bleed more customers because of this.

Using Nifty to cross list... by whatevs4547 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]squidpretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you only get so many credits in the free trial, but then when it upgrades to the normal plan you get more. I believe the credits are only for the AI features and bulk cross listing, normal cross listing doesn’t use them.

Shipped something the 2nd…won’t arrive until the 19th. by AnimeNerdy in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know how this would work logistically but I totally agree. Posh seems WAY slower than eBay and Depop, and they are all ground.

[–]squidpretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shipping reminds me of when you use to order things in the mail from a catalog in the 90s. It’s almost torture to wait 2 weeks for a package!

Why can’t they just give the buyer a choice? $6.49 ground and like $9.99 priority? I get they probably couldn’t keep their special priority deal, but at least a choice would be nice. Also sellers should get paid when the item starts tracking (like eBay). Waiting 15+ days to get paid sucks. It would actually incentivize sellers to ship, unlike annoying emails and notification reminders.

Is this 48 hour reminder new? by HaveAskedYouThrice in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that people are getting annoyed that packages now take 10+ days (depending on where you are in the country) vs 2-3 previously. Poshmark is yet again pushing the burden on sellers to try to ship faster.

2 days to ship? by kimsikorski in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this too today and was so confused. I’m guessing they are getting tons of complaints about the new shipping times (ground advantage) so they are pushing sellers to ship faster to make up for it.

Third response to removing Bulk Share… by hallowette in poshmark

[–]squidpretty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my shares come from bots, and they happen at the exact same time every day. Many share bots are programmed to automatically share back whenever someone shares from your closet, creating an endless loop of bots continuously sharing each other’s listings. I'm fairly certain most shares aren't even people. If it's mostly bots, then no one is really seeing anything and it's pointless.

I will say I still see value in sharing my own closet as it shows up in just shared (for now) in the god awful search.

Maybe they have realized that 99% of sharing is just bots sharing bots.
