  • Live…. Hate it…following me..do not like the new format.

    There should be a way to hit live and get the people that want to watch the live shows. A lot of us don’t like to sit scrolling down. I can’t see anything that I wanna see.

  • Like Poshmark, Hate Posh Shows and Too Many Notifications

    Poshmark is fine but hate the huge push for posh shows. I get notified all the time for posh shows which I am NOT interested in. Glad you can customize what you get notified for but dislike that “Like or Share” notifications are lumped together. I only care when people like something not share it.

    • If I could give zero stars…

      ..because I can’t even see my 2 listings or even put in a profile pic, either on the website or the app. I keep getting “sorry, you cannot perform this function” or “sorry, this function is not available at this time.” New user, updated browser and newest iOS. Maybe it’s an error on Poshmark’s end, but this is more of a hassle than it’s worth.

    • I’ve been selling on the platform since 2015

      Where to start. Even though it’s mostly women who sell on the site there is a lack of women higher up in the company and when there is a women being represented it’s not celebrating women as intelligent business women, but instead as just having “fun” or “being carefree while using this app”. and then when they do highlight a businesswoman, they don’t ask her questions on how she manages people or how she works with a team or instill confidence in her team members. It’s like what’s your favorite brand? What’s your shoe size?
      Poshmark has zero accountability and zero respect for its seller base! I resell on the app poshmark and I quote from a email I received after a return “we suggest not thrifting your inventory but buying from one of our certified wholesalers” my email was about how one of there wholesalers sold me wish products instead of the 10 free people jumpsuits I ordered and that were shown in her listing.

      The quality of site has gone down immensely. Some glitches keep happening and when I email poshmark support about it I get gaslighted. Like when my drafts tab will save random things and I can’t delete them or save new listings. When I have emailed poshmark support I get a automatic “we will get back you you promptly.” When the do get back to me I get the same old “hmm we have never seen this issue” or “have you refreshed you page? Because what your describing is impossible”. I have sent them screenshots of the issue and videos. Even though I have emailed them several times about it with evidence!
      I haven’t been able to upload my sales tab in months! Every time I try to upload the sales tab the app and or the website will log me out. Again I got the same song and dance about how that’s odd and impossible! I have sent countless emails about actual fake designer listings they keep on their site and won’t take down!

      The don’t look at return requests honestly or ever really side with the seller. But they will put in passive aggressive responses “like we can’t be sure who exactly is at fault but most of the time it is the sellers fault”
      They will allow a refund to the buyer on literally EVERYTHING EVEN FIT. One lady complained the pants she purchased “was to small for a size m” and the return was accepted.
      I guess this is what to expect from a site that has done nothing but go downhill since 2015. I’m guessing not many people will see this review either because they have been removing 1 star reviews.

      I have purchased multiple items on this site and I have been pleased at least 85% of the times. The times when I wasn’t pleased have been because I did not read the product details. I have also sold a few items and have had great success. I’ll continue using this site.

      I posted about an item I wanted to sell. Later I got a gmail saying my posted item was counterfeit, and my post was then deleted. I WOULDN'T POST ON WHAT I DON’T HAVE!
      I am offended and I don’t get upset easily. All I wanted to do was sell my stuff but apparently with this app you can’t. Smh

    • Push notification issues

      This app is good but they need to sort out push notifications. I do not want these constant live shopping experience notifications and there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn them off, so I have to turn off notifications entirely, which has caused me to miss potential buyers’ questions. Quite frustrating!

    • fine for selling, but…

      I have no problems with using Poshmark to sell. But when it comes to buying, it’s very frustrating. Despite putting filters on to only show things in my size, I’m shown all sizes, in fact more than my own size. Even sizes for children. If I’m filtering to only see what’s available in my size, I don’t want to see others!

    • Not what it used to be

      Poshmark was good when it first came out but now there’s more sellers than buyers. Months went by before I made another sale because again there’s more sellers than buyers. Not to mention their really dumb algorithms that don’t let you lower the price to what you want. Pretty much they expect you to almost give it for free.

    • Stellar company!

      I have been selling on Poshmark for maybe a year now and have been thoroughly impressed with the company. Easy page to navigate and sell on, and they couldn’t have made it any easier to ship to your buyers! Keep on doing what you do Posh, and I’ll keep listing❤️
      On a different note my hubby has discovered the joys of buying from Poshmark and has gotten several pairs of pants and two pairs of boots, all which were exactly what he wanted, and he got great deals. Showed him how to accept his order and send a love note too.

    • They will never unsubscribe you

      I downloaded this app and made an account because I was thinking of selling some of my old clothing. I can’t really say if the app is good for that because I actually never got that far. Instead what I got is half a dozen to a dozen emails a day from Poshmark every single day and no matter how many times I hit unsubscribe they will not unsubscribe me. so, just be aware ahead of time that if you sign up for an account here, they will clog up your inbox for the rest of your life.

    • The challenges on PM

      I have been with PM for a number of years now. When I first began to paruse and buy, it wasn't were it's gotten to today. I don't like that most people use commercial images from online than taking their own pictures of the item. In addition it's false. These items no longer look like the professional image. Next, why are folks buying multiple of cheap items that they know that bought less than what they are asking for? HELLO...I can find that item and buy it directly from that sight. Also, I wish there was a way for PM to encourage sellers to add more to their descriptions and better images of the item. REALITY CHECK, no one's going to give your item a 2nd look if you don't post more images of the item and measurements. Better lighting is recommended.
      I could keep going but 'nough said.

    • SCAMMERS.

      This site is a bunch of scammers! There you can sell something if your client is a normal real person. But if it's a scammer!? Does this site support scammers?! In our case, we made a sale. And when the buyer received, he said that this is not his size ?! Okay, no problem - return the item?! So no. He made a return but did not return the goods to us ?! And then this site had to compensate us for the damage in the amount of what the deal was ?! And you think they gave us back the money?! NO! They came up with a story that our product is not real and cannot be returned?! And as we wrote in support that we have a receipt proving that the product was purchased in the store. But no, no support answers anything even!!!!! And how the goods got to Poshmark is also unknown ?! When after the failure it should have been sent back to us. Further, the product was not verified when it was sent to the buyer, since it was below the amount of $ 500 ?! How was it checked when it had to be returned to the seller????! So the SCAMMERS WORK THERE IN FULL STROKE!!! Worst scam site ever!!! KARMA WILL FIND YOU!!!!!
