It happens all of the time. How in the earth could I have all damages possible on one new thing? Bethany I agree with you. I could get more at a garage sale. Although its taking some time, I am moving the inventory, and due to Mercaris fees and shipping, Im making more than I ever did on PM and I spend very little time! I cant deal with lowballs. Im so sorry for these assholes being mean to you! Everything seems to be one hot mess. I have been ready to venture out to a commission free and offer free selling environment but didnt know where to start or what platform to trust next really. They do not care about the seller and honestly I dont even think anyone there speaks English. I had my share of crazies too when I was on Posh. So I never used the app again. Its crazy!! So much has not changed. People rarely ask me questions because I include very detailed notes about each items features and condition, along with any fitting recommendations.

Thats wonderful but Im just starting in a very saturated market over there and I just dont have all day to dedicate. I think I may have had my last straw moment, as well. I can live with it. These people never buy anything and it seems their sole purpose for being on Poshmark is to waste your time. When they do send a question, I respond quickly and thoroughly, and I dont feel as if Ive wasted my time if they dont end up buying. hi! But then again, who isnt? Hate the damn things. Im probably going to start moving items to another site in the future. So, I quit and went to eBay. But when I found myself blocking people all day long, I just stopped accepting offers period. Everything is dry cleaned before sale and Id never sell anything with any noticeable issue and I check thoroughly. Think Ill go back to my original plan of opening a Big Commerce store and use their multi-chanel option, since I also sell on eBay (and dont plan to quit). Thanks for the insight! Poshmark ruled in her favor. It is way less frustrating than digging through storage bins because someone asks a question at 10 PM. Poshmark has some scummy sellers and buyers period!! Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. Years ago, I gave up on Ebay because I purchased something and just never received the item. Ppl dont usually tell the down side of things. I always took great care to make sure every piece I sold on Poshmark was in excellent condition. Poshmark is ignoring my request to redeem my earnings. Totally understand. Literally sent out same day shipping for a customer NYE-eve. I am not interested in running a garage sale on line. They said they were warning me that they had to remove multiple replicas from my closet and despite having previously warned me about this, and this is my final warning!!!

Im also happy to read the comments here regarding other sites because I dread eBay with all the waiting while PM seemed quick, but if I must, Ill go back there and try Shopify.
