i actually accidentally did #9 when i first started poshmark, not knowing what it was, and now i feel really bad about it Haha (i don’t do it anymore lol quickly learned from it)
Oh my gosh, accidents totally happen! In both cases where it happened to me, the sellers seemed to be trying to use it as a sales strategy with tonssss of different random people 🤦🏼♀️
*I HATE when I like an item, then the seller "bundles" it and SPAMS me with sales almost every day, even after I unlike the item. The only way to stop them is to block the whole closet.... So frustrating!!!*
Thank you for laying these out there! I hope this gets viewed by all the culprits!!! And I will add one: do not call me Babe, Hon, Girl, Love, Sweetie, or any other cutesy name. I'm not 12 years old, nor are we BFFs. My name is on my closet (just like 99% of all Poshers), so please use it.
I totally agree! One of my biggest pet peeves! Some people say it’s because they’re from a certain area of the country where those terms are used, but it’s still annoying and unprofessional. 🤬🤬
Excellent video! I've seen most of the things you mentioned and agree with all of them 100%. I have a few more to add to your list. 1) People who don't care about presenting their clothes nicely in photos. I saw one closet where all the clothes were horribly wrinkled. Every single listing. The seller just wrote in the description "Sorry about the wrinkles, they just came out of the box." Instead of taking the time to steam or iron them. 2) I actually saw one listing where the seller wrote "I will leave it up to the buyer to wash the clothes." So I'm buying your laundry? Ewwww. 3) Listings that give no description and say "see photos" but only give one or two photos. 4) Sellers who seem to assume that buyers are willing to buy any old thing you post. I saw a listing for "my husband's old shorts he used to wear around the house." Only $9. Any takers? Of course every Posher has the right to run their closet as they see fit, but these ones stood out for me as examples of how not to run my own closet. Maybe some of the comments will give you enough content for a Part 2
I think #2 is usually a way to sell used panties, etc without directly saying it. Ran across a closet like that a few weeks ago. "Items freshly washed unless requested otherwise" 🥴
Agreed with all except declining offers. If someone sends me a $4 offer on an item worth 10x that, I'm declining and blocking. I'll give 1 counter to anyone in the 40-60% range, but if they come back with 1-2 dollars more than their first offer, I'm declining because I don't have time to play games. If that shuts off a potential sale, so be it. Lowballers tend to be the pickiest and most case-happy buyers of the whole lot.
I typically never decline an offer, but I automatically hit decline the other day when I received an $8 offer for a $40 dress. I was feeling a certain way and NOT having it haha! But most of the time I counter or let the offer expire.
I have also occasionally received ridiculous offers like that. I don’t decline often, but a few times it has actually resulted in the same buyer coming back with a reasonable offer. I only do it when I have checked them out and just don’t care if they come back to my closet or not.
I did too i wake up with lowball offer selling for 35 for bundle of 2 dress and offering 5 like really girl ... so i just decline it its crazy ill never do that to anyone
Asking “Is this available?” Also, I list measurements on every item, but there is always someone who requests some bizarre measurement so I have to get the item out of inventory, remeasure, and update the listing. I have literally never had a sale when someone asks me to do additional work on the listing. Never. I sometimes think people look around Posh and randomly choose a listing to troll.
yessssssssssssssss... its like why the heck is it in my closet if it is not available. I mean poshmark will mark it sold if it is sold and if it is not for sale, it will be clearly marked as such. You are also right, so many times, I get requests for weird measurement and then poof nothing further after I spend 30 min pulling the item, measuring it, the putting everything back, or if the foam inside a $10 sneakers is memory foam. I just tell them in all honesty, I do not know what's inside the shoe. Thank you for adding this cringe worthy to the list.
I will say I am guilty for asking this question of " is this available". Simply because I've made purchases from accounts that people must have abandoned and sellers who forgot to take it down because it sold on other platforms. My age perhaps? Lol.
sorry, i dont agree with this. if something is sitting in someones closet for multiple YEARS, i'm going to ask if it's still available to see if they're actually active on poshmark. learned this the hard way when i purchased items i was really excited about only for the seller to never ship because they dont use posh anymore. that's a huge pain for me as a buyer that i would rather avoid. now, asking if it's available, the seller taking the time to respond yes and the seller not purchasing it, THAT is truly annoying lmao
Actually, this is a legit question because many sellers use multiple platforms and it’s possible to forget to delete a listing on Poshmark if you sold it elsewhere 🤷🏻♀️
Same here. There's only been one time someone has purchased an item from me after asking for measurements. Please don't ask if you're not interested in the start. I get that the measurements might be wrong but it happens so often I feel like they're just asking bc they're bored 😂
This! Exactly and it creeps me out! Especially because they never even look to see my info or anything so how can you style me if you don’t know anything about me? But they’ll put a size 4 teenagers style pair of shorts in my bundle, and then they’ve pissed me off because I’m 57 and wear a 2X!!! Hate that!!!
I've had the low ball offers so many times! Mostly asking for at least 60-70% off. I counter with my lowest and they counter with a $1 more then their original offer 🤦♀️. After 2 rounds of that, I usually just let the offer expire. I hate doing it, but it becomes a waste of my time. I've also had the comments stating the item cheaper on another website (When it was not).
I will say though, I’ve seen way too many listings that are advertised for MORE than regular retail price and I find that ridiculous. I wouldn’t comment on the post, but I find it mind-boggling how people think that stuff will sell and unless it’s an extremely rare or vintage item I personally find it kinda scammy 😬
There are so many other cringe worthy things that you could do a part two, but my biggest pet peeves are people who sell purses and bags without showing buyersthe volume of the purse or the backpack! When they throw it on the floor and they try to sell a bag or a purse? That’s flat on the ground, because that’s not how women actually buy purses and that’s not how purses are photographed even on the Internet when we are buying them. You could easily steal it with a couple T-shirts or a pair of jeans… Anything to provide volume for that Bag or purse or backpack to really show how much it can hold at least visually Also, when people photograph like 10 photos of the outside of the purse, but they will never show you the inside! Also, when people don’t really show you how there is a pocket for the zipper is actually functional and not decorative. I literally thought about buying a bunch of cheap stuff on Poshmark that I know I could sell three or four times more just by retaking the photos, the way that I take my photos of bags and purses on my Poshmark closet . Don’t even get me started on people who sells blue jeans and never list the inseam or the rise! And yes, my biggest pet peeve are people who are even selling stuff for a lot more than what Amazon is selling it for of all places When I shop on Poshmark, I literally look between eBay, Poshmark, and if I know the brand I tried to go find it on Amazon. Why because if I can buy it on Amazon cheaper and get it faster and not have to pay for shipping? why not and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve actually seen the same exact item on Amazon
The “no lowball offers” post has helped my business! I don’t have a chart because that’s odd. However, when you have something listed at $200 and someone offers you $20 it’s blood boiling! And most of the time they are not serious.
Hi Hannah, I came across your Channel because I seen "Thrive by level the deep dive" and I was curious as there was a recent THRIVE "movement" in my small hometown. A lot of my friends were posting about it and I got DM's telling me not to buy from "so & so" and to buy from her ( I wasn't even interested) so I clicked on your vid. and I've been HOOKED ever since. I love your channel and I binge Hannah everything.. anyhoo... I went to see your Poshmark closet (it was sold out) and I began browsing the app.. I found many great deals and offers to start a closet. I don't think I will. But I will continue to browse your closet and listen to your channel. Keep making videos, they're very informative. Your my fav. Much love and many blessings sent.
Great vid, especially #7 and #9. The last one happens to me all the time except instead of item I never liked, I get listings that ads, like “BUNDLE 3 ITEMS!” WTH?? First of all, who are you again?😂 Personal opinion: I disagree with number 2. Serious buyers (in my experience) aren’t deterred by getting declined and typically come back with better offers. I often make sales when I decline lowballs instead of countering. I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but in my business, it works great and better than always countering.
Yes! Number 3! I am so over people going to my closet and commenting on my shoes that they have a matching outfit in their closet, and that people should go check it out. Excuse me...what??? BLAH I feel like I should charge them a marketing fee. hahaha Great video!
I hate that Poshmark sends messages to our buyers once items have been delivered saying that we want to know how we did. It kind of makes it seem like we reached out to Poshmark and asked them to do it. I suppose it isn’t a big deal, but I wish they wouldn’t do it. It does make me cringe.
I can't stand when people have a paragraph of brands + tag words... it just turns me off from purchasing from their closet. It throws off your specific search and causes you to scroll thru a bunch of crap you have no interest in...
Found another super cringy thing and back to report 🤣: I used to be a hairstylist and I see A LOT of people re selling professional hair products like Olaplex systems (hundreds of dollars) on poshmark, which is not legal. So they are playing with fire. We can't use our cosmetology discount to buy products and then sell them unless you have a salon license. So cringy to me.
I didn't know this! This is exactly why I like watching this. I got a nice deal on Olaplex recently, but I can't use it, and was definitely going to list it! I wish I knew what other brands aren't allowed
@@DandyBeingTandi I'm pretty sure you'd be fine selling it/most all products as a one time thing. Technically not supposed to, but would probably be completely fine- I had mentioned it because I had noticed some people selling a lot of olaplex products- so they're using their cos. license to get it cheaper & flipping it on a larger scale, which is definitely not ok.
Omg I HATE when people comment on my listings with their sales, etc begging people to shop with them. I never look at their closets when they do that. And the people who comment on listings to tell shoppers they can find the item cheaper on tj max or Nordstrom, Sephora etc. Hate it!!
That happened to me once where I meant to put something in someone’s bundle but I sent it to the wrong person with a very similar username. I was so embarrassed and deleted the accidental bundle right away. I just hope she didn’t see it and think I was trying this aggressive sales tactic. I’m new to Poshmark, still figuring all this out.
I have one to add. I was interested in a designer purse, negotiated a price and then the seller wouldn't ship the item. They were unresponsive to both me and Poshmark. Poshmark cancelled the order and a day later they reposted the bag again AND at a higher price!
It's interesting, Common Tags says she declines when it's less than 50%. I generally decline when someone offers me 10 or 20% of the price, because I set my prices based on mid to low end sold comps. I just don't feel the person who offers me $10 for a $50 item will buy from me. I agree with all of the others 100% - another great video.
@@michellecd4722 I agree. I just don't want to counter someone who offers me $8 for a $100 item. In the beginning I would assume that in this circumstance the buyer made an error or typo, and meant $80 but when I countered at 90 I got a $10 offer so it was deliberate. So now I have a rule, I just decline when an offer is 10 or 20% off the set price. That person is not serious. If I lose a sale, or make a buyer or a RUclipsr cringe, that's okay because this is a side job and it's not worth my time to go back and forth on a dead end street. I agree the sharing and offers on Posh are a time waster. I don't do offers on ebay anymore - been selling on ebay since 1999. I do buy it now and immediate payment on most items, and an auction on items that are in high demand. xo
There is a seller that sends me offers every few days & I was not sure how or why since I have never liked anything in their closet & there is nothing in the bundle that they have created for me. They basically use it as a means to promote sales in their closet. Very vexing indeed!
9 has happened to me a lot. Sometimes even items that wouldn’t fit or are damaged. 😡 I can not stand when I share items from someone’s closet and they come back and spam with with their sales. I took time to share your items and have no interest in buying them. I could see if I accidentally liked an item but just to be promoting yourself? Ugh!
I had no idea people can see your bundle conversations. I thought those were like a private message on Facebook. Thank you for sharing. Good to know. 😊
Hi Hannah, this video was awesome! Thank you for putting this one together. Well, thank you for all of your videos. I got a kick out of your moving/unpacking one because I saw your little kitties running all over in the background. Thanks again for the time you put into these videos. It's greatly appreciated. Happy to see that you and your little family 🐈🐈⬛ made it safely to Florida❤Karie
When I’ve received a few offers to visit a closet (after they’ve complimented mine), I assumed they saw that we might have similar tastes or something in common. Only found that there was nothing I wanted to see. I no longer pop over.
I won't but from any closet that says they block people if they send too low of an offer;(. Not that I offer often, but someone deleting someone rather than countering or declining is mean.
Every. Single. Time. I get one of these messages I push back. Some try to tell me how effective it is and how much they are selling. Then I visit their closet and they sold 2 things in the last month. If it was working you would think they would have had more sales. Or they have a lot of $5-$10 sales with crappy pictures etc. There is so many other things they can do that would actually make them sales.
I’m so glad I found you! You speak clearly and have great advice. You’re also very beautiful. Thanks for your effort into these videos!! Greatly appreciated.
I saw one seller post a listing which wasn't even a listing at all. It was a photo of a note where she was ranting about people listing overpriced items, stating something to the effect of "poshmark is like a garage sale, stop listing things for way more than it's worth. Nobody want's to pay so much for your used stuff.." etc.. It was ridiculous.
#9 ....so bad. Someone added a baby girls dress, a size small or medium dress and a piece of jewelry along with an offer to a bundle for me....I was seriously scratching my head like huh??? My daughters almost 18, so no babygirl, Im a 1X so clothes too small and the jewelry was just blah, that really bugged and amazed me at the same time that someone actually thinks by doing that, they will make sales...to me thats the quickest route to being blocked
OMG you are Spot on most of what you mentioned has happened to me… especially the last point I have had someone add to my Bundle & wonder why they did that BC I didn’t like the items…well when that happens to me I just remove them from the Bundle & after enough times they get the message! Thanks so much for this terrific video! Very helpful 😊🌹❤️
OMG I agree with all of these! So good. Definitely annoying when people tag cheap mall brands as more expensive brands for exposure. I admit I will *occasionally* mention a different brand in my listing description if the item I'm selling is a very similar version of it. For example, when describing the fit of jeans I might say they fit like the Levi's ribcage skinny. But I wouldn't mark the brand as Levi's unless they actually are Levi's. In my opinion if someone just searches "levi ribcage skinny" they are searching for items that look and fit like those jeans and they might be open to a different brand that would be similar! But if they specifically want Levi's they can filter by the "Levi's" brand and it would filter it to only Levi jeans.
Bundling was one of the most confusing things about being new on PM. When I didn't know how it worked I made that mistake; saw a buyer who liked a throw cushion so I offered several throw cushions for a very reduced offer. It was ignored. Now I knew a little better.
Here's one I cannot figure out... A person comes to my closet- likes about 25 items all in crazy diff sizes/ styles then puts about half in a bundle very random. The first few times I woulld send a message and a legit offer on the bundled ones but never heard back a peep. Now I just ignore those... and sometimes it seems to be the same people who keep doing it...but why in the world would someobe do that???
I actually kind of like it when i see people calling out sellers who overprice their items. For example just today i saw something listed from lululemon that was 20$ over retail price, which that in itself isnt bad as i know some lulu stuff can inflate if it's retired or sold out or something but what this person was listing was still in stock on the lulu website. The comnent had straight up asked why their listing was $22 more than lulu website when it's still in stock.
Oh yes on my first few listing some one would say" Oh I really like this, is there any Flaws and can you email me more Pics" That is something I Knew Not to Respond to, cause, that is similar to Scammers on eBay and happen to me when I first starting selling on there.
Straight from a picture on a seller’s post today: “I price your items with shipping cost considered & I often have little to no wiggle room on price. :) Discounted shipping only means the seller pays the difference.” I would have bought the boots lady but that annoyed me so I don’t feel like supporting you 😂
oooh.... this is good to know! I'm just starting out on poshmark and was thinking about sending "hope it fits" emails or something like that. I don't want to be annoying!
I am known for pricing very low and i still get offers on a 10 dollar item i even got one on a 7 dollar item with free shipping and i actually accepted not realizing i was covering shipping so i ended up minus. Point i am making people shop to get stuff for nickels or free. So when people send offers on stuff already cheap they are just being jerks and deserve no attention.
Yes, I have had offers sent to me several times for items I have no interest in. Some time I might click on something in their closet, NOT liked it, and gotten an offer. I also recently received an offer for an item I did like and it had another shirt added into the bundle I did not like??? Baffled!
That bundle thing happened to me TODAY! Random conversation about 5 off 25. I didn’t like anything in their closet. I even went to my likes to make sure. I thought it was a mistake but now I think it was just what it was. A lure to get you to look at their closet. I’ve also had people congratulate me on a PM win then add to their comment about spending the $ in their closet. Haha!
Yes! The random bundles have been happening a lot lately! I don't follow the people & never even liked the listing! This is the absolute worst cringe, in my opinion!
I've had sellers I have never expressed any interest in anything they had, never heard of the seller before. Not only did it happen once, it happened several more times from the same seller after had asked them not to do it!
Also just wanna say that it's a waste of your own personal time to comment on other peoples listings comments such as "this is cheaper at so and so place" or "what's your best offer?" I personally will spam those comments so that they automatically erase from my listing. Offer comments I will then respond to in private by switching to sell view.
I have had people tell me in comments that I should be ashamed of myself for the outrageous shipping cost. This is before I have had a chance to even offer a discounted shipping. They told me I was price gouging on shipping. I guess they didn't realize Poshmark sets shipping cost.
I keep getting tagged in some random share game thing - like every day there's a new "posh" challenge thing that they expect me to participate in :S. And I'm not even in the same country as them. So bizarre.
Awesome! The other day I looking for a specific item and in the Description the Seller was saying that she only accept etransfer as form of payment 😀😀haha crazy.
So I won on a Poshmark contest the other day. It was unexpected and cool. However... The next day my name was made public that I won. That day I was harassed... Begged and multiple bundles made with people begging me to spend my winnings in their closet. It was very overwhelming
So I have gotten petty haha. For example if I have an item listed for $80 and someone sends an offer of $10, I usually counter back with $79. Hahaha. I admit it's more for amusement than anything else lol
I think most serious resellers probably do some research and know what the items value is on other platforms and even on Poshmark, so the lowball offers are a little (a lot) ridiculous. I don’t think you are risking anything since they weren’t a serious buyer anyways. Plus it made me laugh!
I have sold over 1500 vinyl records in two years since starting my listing on Poshmark without realizing there may be cringe-worthy things people might do as a seller. Looks like I may have committed 1 or 2 of these. Who knows, maybe I would have sold more items had I known what not to do two years ago when it was first posted (about the same time I got started). I have to say, Poshers did purchase from me in spite of the faux pas I may have committed. Cheers
Thank you for such an informative vlog! However, I must comment on the problems with low ball offers. I do take your advice on countering and have successfully made sales countering. But when I was new to PM I listed many items at my lowest acceptable price because after 15 years selling on eBay, I seldom sold to a buyer who submitted an offer. The problem I have is how much should I raise the price of an item to be able to discount? I think this discounting business is ridiculous because the bottom line is the only price that counts. Unfortunately, discounting is what the majority of Poshmark buyers are all about. I have been very successful explaining to buyers why I can’t discount, as you stated in your vlog about the quality of your items. Thanks for this tip! Every Posh seller should disclose the quality. So many on RUclips won’t buy on PM and ebay too because of gross undisclosed flaws. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sold items to buyers who had to return the same item to their sellers because they got the thing really cheap but full of flaws.
I always mark up my items 20-30% higher than I’m expecting to get for them. It makes the buyer feel like they’re getting a good deal and I still get the profit margin I want 😊
I have had multiple shoppers purchase and cancel the purchase of one item in my closet multiple times within minutes of me listing it. That same item had someone comment on it that they thought my pricing decision was bad even though it was something not sold anywhere else. I took the listing down within a half hour of putting it up, it just seemed sketchy and too much of a hassle. I think there are forums for this brand with people who collect it and report on when a new item is listed.
The last cringe worthy thing happened to me sooooooooooooo many times. The last time was a couple of days ago and not once but four times by the same seller. The first time she did that, I waited a bit then removed the item, an hour later she adds another and send an offer. Then she started styling me.. its like, come on lady. I removed the items several times and I deleted the bundles several times. Sheesh.. Waste of time and of course, I will never ever ever buy anything from this seller as her behavior was so off putting.
I always unfollow ANYONE with an offer chart. I think it's so annoying.....the customer does NOT care about your profit margin. I'm commenting after the first cringey thing I'm sure there's more I'll agree with lol.
Hi Hannah this was a great video! I agree- It is so off putting when sellers are upfront rude- I won’t even go to a closet like that.Hope that you are loving Florida!💕🐾
Here's a cringe-worthy story...I'm a seller on Posh too for 2 years. Most of my items are under $500 however I recently sold a Chloe bag NWT for $925 and of course as all the listings over $500 state, the item gets authenticated first then shipped to the buyer. All went well, it was great. I never buy luxury on Posh and I don't buy pre owned. I made one purchase on Fashionphile and one on Ebay, both NWT and "authenticated". So I decided two weeks ago to buy a Loewe handbag for $1050 on Posh. It states Free Authentication on the listing so I'll take the chance. The seller agreed to my offer and she said she will be sending the bag directly to me because she is a trusted seller. I just agreed but I must have been half asleep so I emailed Posh the next day to inquire and they responded saying the same thing. The seller has a "good track record" so it will go directly to me. Well, I'm not ok with that. Just because the seller has a good track record doesn't mean she wont try and pass off a fake this time. I honestly believe the bag is authentic. She uploaded the receipt immediately when I asked. She has a decent amount of sales and good ratings. Not as many sales over $500 that I would think would make her a trusted seller but who am I to say. I emailed Posh 5x and did not accept the bag only because I wanted in writing that they stand behind the bag if it should be deemed fake down the road. They took a week to respond and then just yesterday asked me for specific photos of the bag. I sent them and this morning their email stated that a "Loewe Expert" in their company evaluated the photos and they are standing behind this bag and it is authentic. What do you think? Posh is going to have many issues if they stop authenticating. I will never buy anything of value on there again. Sorry for writing a novel on your video. Great video by the way.
This one is by the buyer: I sold a $140 jacket for a horrible price and I lost a ton on it [sold for$10... yes, it was a huge mistake, I know]. The buyer sent me an offer right after I listed it and I was not thinking and hit accept and confirmed that I accepted as well.. doh. After that, I thought the only decent thing to do is to stick to what I committed to and just move on. So I go and package the item and add my free gift and thank you card...etc. After 5 hours, I give it to a family member to drop off at the post office on their way out. Then.... I get a message from the buyer who is a seller herself telling me to cancel the order ... WHAT???????????? I was livid.. Needless to say, that was not a good sale for me.
I love sellers who use stock photos of their items such as a fur jacket, never the real photo of the one they own...and then I scroll down to other items they are selling like shoes and I realize they are using that same fur jacket as a rug to place shoes and items on for photos😒 so bizarre
One time someone liked one of my items and left a comment saying she will definitely buy it when she got the money, because it was her birthday. She never bought it. I doubt it was her birthday... I think it is a strategy to get super offers preying on seller's sympathy. Yikes
Not that I would do it, but I did not know you could add things to peoples bundles if they haven’t liked it. It’s crazy! I would definitely wonder how that happened, but have not experienced that yet.
Yeah it’s not something I would ever think to do, but it’s possible! You can add things to anyone’s bundle. You just click “share” and then “search” and type in anyone’s username and it shares to their bundle. Crazy!
I am pretty new to Posh Mark, but I have noticed that people add one low price item to a bundle then ask for massive discounts and shipping offers. I mean like one low price item free shipping????? Really? The seller makes zero money, but I have seen this behavior all the time. Is this normal for Posher's or is it just me that sees this as wrong and kinda rude? Also I sell a lot of children's clothing, so the margins are slim and the people are cheap it's almost criminal. 😅 I might have to just stick to my shopify from now on, if this is a regular thing on Posh.
I agree with you about contacting buyer to rate you. However, we can see that the buyer was online recently and received the item 2 days ago, and still hasn’t rated you. 😂 to me, it just makes the buyer look a little shady. Awesome video!!!🌸
I’m a buyer and seller on Poshmark. My items purchased are sent to my private PO Box at a UPS store which is only open during the day. I am active on Poshmark several times per day. If I don’t rate an item it’s because I haven’t picked it up yet.
I am incredibly forgetful and while I haven't purchased on PM yet, I did recently forget to give feedback on ebay and I ran out of time! So please forgive those of us who are just forgetful. 72 hours is a short window!
I understand the whole rating for funds however it really does suck that I can't get paid sooner than later especially when your in more of a desperate money situation. 72 hours can go both ways of not being a long time and being a long time
There was also a time I liked a couple of items from the same seller. The seller added them to a bundle and made me an offer. It was only about a day or so since I had liked them and I was thinking about it. The seller then adds one of my items to their bundle and writes "YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED." I don't even know why and it looks like I did something wrong so it was frustrating. People are strange.
Oh my gosh that would make me feel aweful. I'd honestly just end up avoiding that seller completely, even if they'd had things I wanted or intended to buy.
Thank you again for your vlog. I agree on all of them. The first 2 at the end of the day, it’s resellers business what they want to do. Most of the time, the offer is really bad and insulting. I don’t do it but I can see why other resellers do it. The last one is the most I don’t like! Unsolicited at all. Can I give a suggestion on your next vlog? How about the other way around - buyers - what they shouldn’t do? Thank you again.
when you have items in your closet that are completely reduced, how can you bundle them for clearance? I always give free shipping so at some point my items would cost me money to sell.
Offer what You want. Sure I won’t accept all offers but no need to post a chart. Usually I’ll counter offer except the odd thing i list for a very low cost in hopes that someone will put that item in a bundle and ill send a better offer that way.
The other day someone asked me to “try it on” and the item was lingerie. Seriously ppl! You don’t need to see my body in lingerie to help you make the decision to purchase it or not. Ugh… made me cringe!
What are some cringe-worthy things you’ve seen on Poshmark?? 😬
The number 9 is happened to me 3 times.
i actually accidentally did #9 when i first started poshmark, not knowing what it was, and now i feel really bad about it Haha (i don’t do it anymore lol quickly learned from it)
Oh my gosh, accidents totally happen! In both cases where it happened to me, the sellers seemed to be trying to use it as a sales strategy with tonssss of different random people 🤦🏼♀️
I have seen those offer charts I just ignore them all together....LOL
I just found your channel and subscribed!! ❤️🤩
*I HATE when I like an item, then the seller "bundles" it and SPAMS me with sales almost every day, even after I unlike the item. The only way to stop them is to block the whole closet.... So frustrating!!!*
YES! How do I get them to stop??
Thank you for laying these out there! I hope this gets viewed by all the culprits!!! And I will add one: do not call me Babe, Hon, Girl, Love, Sweetie, or any other cutesy name. I'm not 12 years old, nor are we BFFs. My name is on my closet (just like 99% of all Poshers), so please use it.
Ooh that’s a good one too!
Oh, my gosh! I hate that too!
I totally agree! One of my biggest pet peeves! Some people say it’s because they’re from a certain area of the country where those terms are used, but it’s still annoying and unprofessional. 🤬🤬
Right babe! That’s so annoying, sorry you have to deal with that, hon.
Excellent video! I've seen most of the things you mentioned and agree with all of them 100%. I have a few more to add to your list.
1) People who don't care about presenting their clothes nicely in photos. I saw one closet where all the clothes were horribly wrinkled. Every single listing. The seller just wrote in the description "Sorry about the wrinkles, they just came out of the box." Instead of taking the time to steam or iron them.
2) I actually saw one listing where the seller wrote "I will leave it up to the buyer to wash the clothes." So I'm buying your laundry? Ewwww.
3) Listings that give no description and say "see photos" but only give one or two photos.
4) Sellers who seem to assume that buyers are willing to buy any old thing you post. I saw a listing for "my husband's old shorts he used to wear around the house." Only $9. Any takers?
Of course every Posher has the right to run their closet as they see fit, but these ones stood out for me as examples of how not to run my own closet.
Maybe some of the comments will give you enough content for a Part 2
Hahaha these are all so good and true!! The “so I’m buying your laundry?” Made me laugh 😂
"My husbands old shorts". LOL. You know college girls sell their worn underwear for crazy amounts of money so I guess she was taking a chance, lol.
I think #2 is usually a way to sell used panties, etc without directly saying it. Ran across a closet like that a few weeks ago. "Items freshly washed unless requested otherwise" 🥴
Agreed with all except declining offers. If someone sends me a $4 offer on an item worth 10x that, I'm declining and blocking. I'll give 1 counter to anyone in the 40-60% range, but if they come back with 1-2 dollars more than their first offer, I'm declining because I don't have time to play games. If that shuts off a potential sale, so be it. Lowballers tend to be the pickiest and most case-happy buyers of the whole lot.
I typically never decline an offer, but I automatically hit decline the other day when I received an $8 offer for a $40 dress. I was feeling a certain way and NOT having it haha! But most of the time I counter or let the offer expire.
For offers like that, I usually counter with one dollar off the listing price. Just so they can see how ridiculous they're being lol.
I have also occasionally received ridiculous offers like that. I don’t decline often, but a few times it has actually resulted in the same buyer coming back with a reasonable offer. I only do it when I have checked them out and just don’t care if they come back to my closet or not.
I did too i wake up with lowball offer selling for 35 for bundle of 2 dress and offering 5 like really girl ... so i just decline it its crazy ill never do that to anyone
Asking “Is this available?” Also, I list measurements on every item, but there is always someone who requests some bizarre measurement so I have to get the item out of inventory, remeasure, and update the listing. I have literally never had a sale when someone asks me to do additional work on the listing. Never. I sometimes think people look around Posh and randomly choose a listing to troll.
yessssssssssssssss... its like why the heck is it in my closet if it is not available. I mean poshmark will mark it sold if it is sold and if it is not for sale, it will be clearly marked as such. You are also right, so many times, I get requests for weird measurement and then poof nothing further after I spend 30 min pulling the item, measuring it, the putting everything back, or if the foam inside a $10 sneakers is memory foam. I just tell them in all honesty, I do not know what's inside the shoe. Thank you for adding this cringe worthy to the list.
I will say I am guilty for asking this question of " is this available". Simply because I've made purchases from accounts that people must have abandoned and sellers who forgot to take it down because it sold on other platforms. My age perhaps? Lol.
sorry, i dont agree with this. if something is sitting in someones closet for multiple YEARS, i'm going to ask if it's still available to see if they're actually active on poshmark. learned this the hard way when i purchased items i was really excited about only for the seller to never ship because they dont use posh anymore. that's a huge pain for me as a buyer that i would rather avoid. now, asking if it's available, the seller taking the time to respond yes and the seller not purchasing it, THAT is truly annoying lmao
Actually, this is a legit question because many sellers use multiple platforms and it’s possible to forget to delete a listing on Poshmark if you sold it elsewhere 🤷🏻♀️
Same here. There's only been one time someone has purchased an item from me after asking for measurements. Please don't ask if you're not interested in the start. I get that the measurements might be wrong but it happens so often I feel like they're just asking bc they're bored 😂
I've had the random "someone is styling me" bundle from a closet that I did not leave any likes on! I find it very pushy!
This! Exactly and it creeps me out! Especially because they never even look to see my info or anything so how can you style me if you don’t know anything about me? But they’ll put a size 4 teenagers style pair of shorts in my bundle, and then they’ve pissed me off because I’m 57 and wear a 2X!!! Hate that!!!
@@jackiehines3349 Same.. I keep deleting them but they dont get the hint. SMH.
I've had the low ball offers so many times! Mostly asking for at least 60-70% off. I counter with my lowest and they counter with a $1 more then their original offer 🤦♀️. After 2 rounds of that, I usually just let the offer expire. I hate doing it, but it becomes a waste of my time.
I've also had the comments stating the item cheaper on another website (When it was not).
I immediately block anyone that leaves a comment saying an item is cheaper somewhere else
@@la6136 I didn't know that at the time, so I deleted and re-listed. Thank you for the tip!
@@michellecd4722 yes! I try to counter at least once now, and let it go if they continue wasting my time. 😁
I will say though, I’ve seen way too many listings that are advertised for MORE than regular retail price and I find that ridiculous. I wouldn’t comment on the post, but I find it mind-boggling how people think that stuff will sell and unless it’s an extremely rare or vintage item I personally find it kinda scammy 😬
@@erika8456 what? That they don’t want their item (minus Poshmark fees) to go for peanuts?
There are so many other cringe worthy things that you could do a part two, but my biggest pet peeves are people who sell purses and bags without showing buyersthe volume of the purse or the backpack!
When they throw it on the floor and they try to sell a bag or a purse? That’s flat on the ground, because that’s not how women actually buy purses and that’s not how purses are photographed even on the Internet when we are buying them.
You could easily steal it with a couple T-shirts or a pair of jeans… Anything to provide volume for that Bag or purse or backpack to really show how much it can hold at least visually
Also, when people photograph like 10 photos of the outside of the purse, but they will never show you the inside!
Also, when people don’t really show you how there is a pocket for the zipper is actually functional and not decorative.
I literally thought about buying a bunch of cheap stuff on Poshmark that I know I could sell three or four times more just by retaking the photos, the way that I take my photos of bags and purses on my Poshmark closet .
Don’t even get me started on people who sells blue jeans and never list the inseam or the rise!
And yes, my biggest pet peeve are people who are even selling stuff for a lot more than what Amazon is selling it for of all places
When I shop on Poshmark, I literally look between eBay, Poshmark, and if I know the brand I tried to go find it on Amazon.
Why because if I can buy it on Amazon cheaper and get it faster and not have to pay for shipping? why not and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve actually seen the same exact item on Amazon
The “no lowball offers” post has helped my business! I don’t have a chart because that’s odd. However, when you have something listed at $200 and someone offers you $20 it’s blood boiling! And most of the time they are not serious.
Hi Hannah, I came across your Channel because I seen "Thrive by level the deep dive" and I was curious as there was a recent THRIVE "movement" in my small hometown. A lot of my friends were posting about it and I got DM's telling me not to buy from "so & so" and to buy from her ( I wasn't even interested) so I clicked on your vid. and I've been HOOKED ever since. I love your channel and I binge Hannah everything.. anyhoo... I went to see your Poshmark closet (it was sold out) and I began browsing the app.. I found many great deals and offers to start a closet. I don't think I will. But I will continue to browse your closet and listen to your channel. Keep making videos, they're very informative. Your my fav. Much love and many blessings sent.
I CANNOT love this enough!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Every normal person is saying this in their head!!!
Hahahaha LOVE THIS!! 😂😂❤️❤️
Seriously. I'm thinking the same thing! She's the sweetest and explains everything to you like a best friend😍💖
Great vid, especially #7 and #9. The last one happens to me all the time except instead of item I never liked, I get listings that ads, like “BUNDLE 3 ITEMS!” WTH?? First of all, who are you again?😂
Personal opinion: I disagree with number 2. Serious buyers (in my experience) aren’t deterred by getting declined and typically come back with better offers. I often make sales when I decline lowballs instead of countering. I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but in my business, it works great and better than always countering.
I simply cannot imagine straight out declining offers! Like I have all the money in the world LOL this video was gold all sooo true
Yes! Number 3! I am so over people going to my closet and commenting on my shoes that they have a matching outfit in their closet, and that people should go check it out. Excuse me...what??? BLAH I feel like I should charge them a marketing fee. hahaha Great video!
So inconsiderate! I always just click the spam flag next to their comments and delete them immediately!
I hate that Poshmark sends messages to our buyers once items have been delivered saying that we want to know how we did. It kind of makes it seem like we reached out to Poshmark and asked them to do it. I suppose it isn’t a big deal, but I wish they wouldn’t do it. It does make me cringe.
I can't stand when people have a paragraph of brands + tag words... it just turns me off from purchasing from their closet. It throws off your specific search and causes you to scroll thru a bunch of crap you have no interest in...
Found another super cringy thing and back to report 🤣: I used to be a hairstylist and I see A LOT of people re selling professional hair products like Olaplex systems (hundreds of dollars) on poshmark, which is not legal. So they are playing with fire. We can't use our cosmetology discount to buy products and then sell them unless you have a salon license. So cringy to me.
Ooooh I hate that!! That’s terrible!
I didn't know this! This is exactly why I like watching this. I got a nice deal on Olaplex recently, but I can't use it, and was definitely going to list it! I wish I knew what other brands aren't allowed
@@DandyBeingTandi I'm pretty sure you'd be fine selling it/most all products as a one time thing. Technically not supposed to, but would probably be completely fine- I had mentioned it because I had noticed some people selling a lot of olaplex products- so they're using their cos. license to get it cheaper & flipping it on a larger scale, which is definitely not ok.
@@jasminemariedarling Ohhh I see! Yes that's definitely not okay! Thanks for clarifying! I really hate for this Olaplex to go to waste! 💕
Great video ! Yes I have received random bundles offers and I thought what the heck 🤦♀️. Also didn’t know about the bundles not being private!
Omg I HATE when people comment on my listings with their sales, etc begging people to shop with them. I never look at their closets when they do that. And the people who comment on listings to tell shoppers they can find the item cheaper on tj max or Nordstrom, Sephora etc. Hate it!!
That happened to me once where I meant to put something in someone’s bundle but I sent it to the wrong person with a very similar username. I was so embarrassed and deleted the accidental bundle right away. I just hope she didn’t see it and think I was trying this aggressive sales tactic. I’m new to Poshmark, still figuring all this out.
I have one to add. I was interested in a designer purse, negotiated a price and then the seller wouldn't ship the item. They were unresponsive to both me and Poshmark. Poshmark cancelled the order and a day later they reposted the bag again AND at a higher price!
It's interesting, Common Tags says she declines when it's less than 50%. I generally decline when someone offers me 10 or 20% of the price, because I set my prices based on mid to low end sold comps. I just don't feel the person who offers me $10 for a $50 item will buy from me. I agree with all of the others 100% - another great video.
Thanks for watching Karen! As mentioned, it’s all my personal opinion and it’s all about finding what you feel works best for you and your business ❤️
@@michellecd4722 I agree. I just don't want to counter someone who offers me $8 for a $100 item. In the beginning I would assume that in this circumstance the buyer made an error or typo, and meant $80 but when I countered at 90 I got a $10 offer so it was deliberate. So now I have a rule, I just decline when an offer is 10 or 20% off the set price. That person is not serious. If I lose a sale, or make a buyer or a RUclipsr cringe, that's okay because this is a side job and it's not worth my time to go back and forth on a dead end street. I agree the sharing and offers on Posh are a time waster. I don't do offers on ebay anymore - been selling on ebay since 1999. I do buy it now and immediate payment on most items, and an auction on items that are in high demand. xo
Hate it when you like something and the seller immediately sends you either an offer or “ I’m ready to ship when can you pay”?
Ooooooh i hate that girl! The lululemon tag! It drives me nuts!
There is a seller that sends me offers every few days & I was not sure how or why since I have never liked anything in their closet & there is nothing in the bundle that they have created for me. They basically use it as a means to promote sales in their closet. Very vexing indeed!
9 has happened to me a lot. Sometimes even items that wouldn’t fit or are damaged. 😡 I can not stand when I share items from someone’s closet and they come back and spam with with their sales. I took time to share your items and have no interest in buying them. I could see if I accidentally liked an item but just to be promoting yourself? Ugh!
I had no idea people can see your bundle conversations. I thought those were like a private message on Facebook. Thank you for sharing. Good to know. 😊
Hi Hannah, this video was awesome! Thank you for putting this one together. Well, thank you for all of your videos. I got a kick out of your moving/unpacking one because I saw your little kitties running all over in the background. Thanks again for the time you put into these videos. It's greatly appreciated. Happy to see that you and your little family 🐈🐈⬛ made it safely to Florida❤Karie
Thanks for your support in watching my videos Karie! 🥰
Great video Hannah! I have been on Poshmark for 4 1/2 months and seen #1-8. I AGREE with everything you say. So glad #9 hasn’t happened to me yet!
When I’ve received a few offers to visit a closet (after they’ve complimented mine), I assumed they saw that we might have similar tastes or something in common. Only found that there was nothing I wanted to see. I no longer pop over.
I won't but from any closet that says they block people if they send too low of an offer;(. Not that I offer often, but someone deleting someone rather than countering or declining is mean.
Every. Single. Time. I get one of these messages I push back. Some try to tell me how effective it is and how much they are selling. Then I visit their closet and they sold 2 things in the last month. If it was working you would think they would have had more sales. Or they have a lot of $5-$10 sales with crappy pictures etc. There is so many other things they can do that would actually make them sales.
I’m so glad I found you! You speak clearly and have great advice. You’re also very beautiful. Thanks for your effort into these videos!! Greatly appreciated.
I saw one seller post a listing which wasn't even a listing at all. It was a photo of a note where she was ranting about people listing overpriced items, stating something to the effect of "poshmark is like a garage sale, stop listing things for way more than it's worth. Nobody want's to pay so much for your used stuff.." etc.. It was ridiculous.
Oh my gosh that’s crazy!
#9 ....so bad. Someone added a baby girls dress, a size small or medium dress and a piece of jewelry along with an offer to a bundle for me....I was seriously scratching my head like huh??? My daughters almost 18, so no babygirl, Im a 1X so clothes too small and the jewelry was just blah, that really bugged and amazed me at the same time that someone actually thinks by doing that, they will make sales...to me thats the quickest route to being blocked
Agreed! Such an odd sales tactic to waste time on!
OMG you are Spot on most of what you mentioned has happened to me… especially the last point I have had someone add to my Bundle & wonder why they did that BC I didn’t like the items…well when that happens to me I just remove them from the Bundle & after enough times they get the message! Thanks so much for this terrific video! Very helpful 😊🌹❤️
OMG I agree with all of these! So good. Definitely annoying when people tag cheap mall brands as more expensive brands for exposure. I admit I will *occasionally* mention a different brand in my listing description if the item I'm selling is a very similar version of it. For example, when describing the fit of jeans I might say they fit like the Levi's ribcage skinny. But I wouldn't mark the brand as Levi's unless they actually are Levi's.
In my opinion if someone just searches "levi ribcage skinny" they are searching for items that look and fit like those jeans and they might be open to a different brand that would be similar! But if they specifically want Levi's they can filter by the "Levi's" brand and it would filter it to only Levi jeans.
Bundling was one of the most confusing things about being new on PM. When I didn't know how it worked I made that mistake; saw a buyer who liked a throw cushion so I offered several throw cushions for a very reduced offer. It was ignored. Now I knew a little better.
#9 sounds like the hey girl message of Poshmark
Haha. I’ve SEEN that intimidating chart on poshmark and you are so correct in that I did not want to even shop their closet.
Here's one I cannot figure out... A person comes to my closet- likes about 25 items all in crazy diff sizes/ styles then puts about half in a bundle very random. The first few times I woulld send a message and a legit offer on the bundled ones but never heard back a peep. Now I just ignore those... and sometimes it seems to be the same people who keep doing it...but why in the world would someobe do that???
I actually kind of like it when i see people calling out sellers who overprice their items. For example just today i saw something listed from lululemon that was 20$ over retail price, which that in itself isnt bad as i know some lulu stuff can inflate if it's retired or sold out or something but what this person was listing was still in stock on the lulu website. The comnent had straight up asked why their listing was $22 more than lulu website when it's still in stock.
Agree, I hate when people try selling for more than retail price…
Oh yes on my first few listing some one would say" Oh I really like this, is there any Flaws and can you email me more Pics" That is something I Knew Not to Respond to, cause, that is similar to Scammers on eBay and happen to me when I first starting selling on there.
Straight from a picture on a seller’s post today: “I price your items with shipping cost considered & I often have little to no wiggle room on price. :) Discounted shipping only means the seller pays the difference.”
I would have bought the boots lady but that annoyed me so I don’t feel like supporting you 😂
Poshmark emails me to accept my package before I even know it’s in my mailbox. 😂 I don’t need to hear from the seller too.
Such a good point! 😂
oooh.... this is good to know! I'm just starting out on poshmark and was thinking about sending "hope it fits" emails or something like that. I don't want to be annoying!
Yes! Agree with everything on this list! And I’ve had people send me random bundles, and not even my size lol🤷🏻♀️.
Did not know anything about Poshmark. Thank you for all the information.
I am known for pricing very low and i still get offers on a 10 dollar item i even got one on a 7 dollar item with free shipping and i actually accepted not realizing i was covering shipping so i ended up minus. Point i am making people shop to get stuff for nickels or free. So when people send offers on stuff already cheap they are just being jerks and deserve no attention.
Yes, I have had offers sent to me several times for items I have no interest in. Some time I might click on something in their closet, NOT liked it, and gotten an offer. I also recently received an offer for an item I did like and it had another shirt added into the bundle I did not like??? Baffled!
I don’t even use Poshmark, but I run a fan page and a lot of these also apply. Especially promo in other people’s posts
Thank you for making this video. I hope it gets viewed a lot and people stop doing these cringe worthy things.
OMG you are a real life Elsa princess!! You are so pretty :)
That bundle thing happened to me TODAY! Random conversation about 5 off 25. I didn’t like anything in their closet. I even went to my likes to make sure. I thought it was a mistake but now I think it was just what it was. A lure to get you to look at their closet. I’ve also had people congratulate me on a PM win then add to their comment about spending the $ in their closet. Haha!
Omg yes! The self promotion on others listings and /or profile photos is definitely cringeworthy!
Omg, you are hysterical. Honest but sooo funny. 😂😂
Yes! The random bundles have been happening a lot lately! I don't follow the people & never even liked the listing! This is the absolute worst cringe, in my opinion!
#9 just happened to me and I was so annoyed! Not my size, not my style and I keep getting notifications! 😡😡😡
I've had sellers I have never expressed any interest in anything they had, never heard of the seller before. Not only did it happen once, it happened several more times from the same seller after had asked them not to do it!
Also just wanna say that it's a waste of your own personal time to comment on other peoples listings comments such as "this is cheaper at so and so place" or "what's your best offer?" I personally will spam those comments so that they automatically erase from my listing. Offer comments I will then respond to in private by switching to sell view.
Definitely! I always delete these kinds of comments. If it’s a question or a comment relevant to the listing, I will always take it to their bundle!
I do decline the super super low ball offers. I’m telling $100 on a $400 bag. And then I block them.
I’ve had someone offer me $10 for a vintage Carhartt jacket I had for $100. I usually don’t just decline but I was kind of flabbergasted at that one 🥴
I did not know that bundle conversation aren’t private!!!! Oh wow i good to know!
I have had people tell me in comments that I should be ashamed of myself for the outrageous shipping cost. This is before I have had a chance to even offer a discounted shipping. They told me I was price gouging on shipping. I guess they didn't realize Poshmark sets shipping cost.
I keep getting tagged in some random share game thing - like every day there's a new "posh" challenge thing that they expect me to participate in :S. And I'm not even in the same country as them. So bizarre.
Awesome! The other day I looking for a specific item and in the Description the Seller was saying that she only accept etransfer as form of payment 😀😀haha crazy.
So I won on a Poshmark contest the other day. It was unexpected and cool. However... The next day my name was made public that I won. That day I was harassed... Begged and multiple bundles made with people begging me to spend my winnings in their closet. It was very overwhelming
NO WAY. That is seriously so messed up… those winnings are YOURS girl! Congrats! 🎉
Thank you!
The same thing happened to me. Lol
WOW, everything you have mentioned I have seen people do on Poshmark and even more. Thanks for sharing the video and the info as well.
When people like an item, you send them offers, and they decline every, single, one. 😅
Happens all too often, unfortunately!
I'm new to Poshmark, so do we only like items that we are ready to purchase??
@@DandyBeingTandi You like items that you might wanna buy. The sellers will assume you want to buy if you leave a like on the item
Every one of these! Yes!!!! 😂😩 Just NO! Ive had people add random things to my bundle several times and it’s so spamy. The worst.
So I have gotten petty haha. For example if I have an item listed for $80 and someone sends an offer of $10, I usually counter back with $79. Hahaha. I admit it's more for amusement than anything else lol
I think most serious resellers probably do some research and know what the items value is on other platforms and even on Poshmark, so the lowball offers are a little (a lot) ridiculous. I don’t think you are risking anything since they weren’t a serious buyer anyways. Plus it made me laugh!
I have sold over 1500 vinyl records in two years since starting my listing on Poshmark without realizing there may be cringe-worthy things people might do as a seller. Looks like I may have committed 1 or 2 of these. Who knows, maybe I would have sold more items had I known what not to do two years ago when it was first posted (about the same time I got started). I have to say, Poshers did purchase from me in spite of the faux pas I may have committed. Cheers
Yes! Bundle comments are not private!!
Thank you for such an informative vlog! However, I must comment on the problems with low ball offers. I do take your advice on countering and have successfully made sales countering. But when I was new to PM I listed many items at my lowest acceptable price because after 15 years selling on eBay, I seldom sold to a buyer who submitted an offer. The problem I have is how much should I raise the price of an item to be able to discount? I think this discounting business is ridiculous because the bottom line is the only price that counts. Unfortunately, discounting is what the majority of Poshmark buyers are all about. I have been very successful explaining to buyers why I can’t discount, as you stated in your vlog about the quality of your items. Thanks for this tip! Every Posh seller should disclose the quality. So many on RUclips won’t buy on PM and ebay too because of gross undisclosed flaws. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sold items to buyers who had to return the same item to their sellers because they got the thing really cheap but full of flaws.
I always mark up my items 20-30% higher than I’m expecting to get for them. It makes the buyer feel like they’re getting a good deal and I still get the profit margin I want 😊
Wow, never have I ever seen an Offer Chart before. That is insane to me! Awesome video, love the tips!!
I will say, they’re less common now than when I started selling on Poshmark. Thankful you’ve never encountered one!
I have had multiple shoppers purchase and cancel the purchase of one item in my closet multiple times within minutes of me listing it. That same item had someone comment on it that they thought my pricing decision was bad even though it was something not sold anywhere else. I took the listing down within a half hour of putting it up, it just seemed sketchy and too much of a hassle. I think there are forums for this brand with people who collect it and report on when a new item is listed.
Ooooh that's really interesting! That's never happened to me before!
The last cringe worthy thing happened to me sooooooooooooo many times. The last time was a couple of days ago and not once but four times by the same seller. The first time she did that, I waited a bit then removed the item, an hour later she adds another and send an offer. Then she started styling me.. its like, come on lady. I removed the items several times and I deleted the bundles several times. Sheesh.. Waste of time and of course, I will never ever ever buy anything from this seller as her behavior was so off putting.
#9 Yes! It’s happened to me a few times. Most recently it was a pair of men’s work boots, and I’m just like huh?!
So many people are saying this has happened to them! So glad I'm not the only one!
I always unfollow ANYONE with an offer chart. I think it's so annoying.....the customer does NOT care about your profit margin. I'm commenting after the first cringey thing I'm sure there's more I'll agree with lol.
Hi Hannah this was a great video! I agree- It is so off putting when sellers are upfront rude- I won’t even go to a closet like that.Hope that you are loving Florida!💕🐾
Thanks for watching Bri! Currently sitting on the beach and loving Florida so far! 🤩
Here's a cringe-worthy story...I'm a seller on Posh too for 2 years. Most of my items are under $500 however I recently sold a Chloe bag NWT for $925 and of course as all the listings over $500 state, the item gets authenticated first then shipped to the buyer. All went well, it was great. I never buy luxury on Posh and I don't buy pre owned. I made one purchase on Fashionphile and one on Ebay, both NWT and "authenticated". So I decided two weeks ago to buy a Loewe handbag for $1050 on Posh. It states Free Authentication on the listing so I'll take the chance. The seller agreed to my offer and she said she will be sending the bag directly to me because she is a trusted seller. I just agreed but I must have been half asleep so I emailed Posh the next day to inquire and they responded saying the same thing. The seller has a "good track record" so it will go directly to me. Well, I'm not ok with that. Just because the seller has a good track record doesn't mean she wont try and pass off a fake this time. I honestly believe the bag is authentic. She uploaded the receipt immediately when I asked. She has a decent amount of sales and good ratings. Not as many sales over $500 that I would think would make her a trusted seller but who am I to say. I emailed Posh 5x and did not accept the bag only because I wanted in writing that they stand behind the bag if it should be deemed fake down the road. They took a week to respond and then just yesterday asked me for specific photos of the bag. I sent them and this morning their email stated that a "Loewe Expert" in their company evaluated the photos and they are standing behind this bag and it is authentic. What do you think? Posh is going to have many issues if they stop authenticating. I will never buy anything of value on there again. Sorry for writing a novel on your video. Great video by the way.
This one is by the buyer: I sold a $140 jacket for a horrible price and I lost a ton on it [sold for$10... yes, it was a huge mistake, I know]. The buyer sent me an offer right after I listed it and I was not thinking and hit accept and confirmed that I accepted as well.. doh. After that, I thought the only decent thing to do is to stick to what I committed to and just move on. So I go and package the item and add my free gift and thank you card...etc. After 5 hours, I give it to a family member to drop off at the post office on their way out. Then.... I get a message from the buyer who is a seller herself telling me to cancel the order ... WHAT???????????? I was livid.. Needless to say, that was not a good sale for me.
I love sellers who use stock photos of their items such as a fur jacket, never the real photo of the one they own...and then I scroll down to other items they are selling like shoes and I realize they are using that same fur jacket as a rug to place shoes and items on for photos😒 so bizarre
Ew! I love when I see photos of clothing on the ground. You couldn't even put down a sheet?
One time someone liked one of my items and left a comment saying she will definitely buy it when she got the money, because it was her birthday. She never bought it. I doubt it was her birthday... I think it is a strategy to get super offers preying on seller's sympathy. Yikes
Not that I would do it, but I did not know you could add things to peoples bundles if they haven’t liked it. It’s crazy! I would definitely wonder how that happened, but have not experienced that yet.
Yeah it’s not something I would ever think to do, but it’s possible! You can add things to anyone’s bundle. You just click “share” and then “search” and type in anyone’s username and it shares to their bundle. Crazy!
I am pretty new to Posh Mark, but I have noticed that people add one low price item to a bundle then ask for massive discounts and shipping offers. I mean like one low price item free shipping????? Really? The seller makes zero money, but I have seen this behavior all the time. Is this normal for Posher's or is it just me that sees this as wrong and kinda rude? Also I sell a lot of children's clothing, so the margins are slim and the people are cheap it's almost criminal. 😅 I might have to just stick to my shopify from now on, if this is a regular thing on Posh.
I get a bunch of random bundles and it's so annoying. I never sent any bundles to random people but that does happen to me multiple occasions
I agree with you about contacting buyer to rate you. However, we can see that the buyer was online recently and received the item 2 days ago, and still hasn’t rated you. 😂 to me, it just makes the buyer look a little shady. Awesome video!!!🌸
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I’m a buyer and seller on Poshmark. My items purchased are sent to my private PO Box at a UPS store which is only open during the day. I am active on Poshmark several times per day. If I don’t rate an item it’s because I haven’t picked it up yet.
I am incredibly forgetful and while I haven't purchased on PM yet, I did recently forget to give feedback on ebay and I ran out of time! So please forgive those of us who are just forgetful. 72 hours is a short window!
Excellent content as always Hannah, thank you 👏👏 And huge congratulations on your wedding 🤩💗🍾
Thank you Lois!
I understand the whole rating for funds however it really does suck that I can't get paid sooner than later especially when your in more of a desperate money situation. 72 hours can go both ways of not being a long time and being a long time
There was also a time I liked a couple of items from the same seller. The seller added them to a bundle and made me an offer. It was only about a day or so since I had liked them and I was thinking about it. The seller then adds one of my items to their bundle and writes "YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED." I don't even know why and it looks like I did something wrong so it was frustrating. People are strange.
Oh my gosh! How weird and off-putting!
Oh my gosh that would make me feel aweful. I'd honestly just end up avoiding that seller completely, even if they'd had things I wanted or intended to buy.
Thank you again for your vlog. I agree on all of them. The first 2 at the end of the day, it’s resellers business what they want to do. Most of the time, the offer is really bad and insulting. I don’t do it but I can see why other resellers do it. The last one is the most I don’t like! Unsolicited at all. Can I give a suggestion on your next vlog? How about the other way around - buyers - what they shouldn’t do? Thank you again.
I love that video suggestion!
when you have items in your closet that are completely reduced, how can you bundle them for clearance? I always give free shipping so at some point my items would cost me money to sell.
I’m so confused with all this lol what are bundles?? Lol do you have a video explaining how to sell on Poshmark or how to set up ?
My channel has over 40 Poshmark related videos with lots of tips and tricks for how to sell on the platform 😊
I've had several comment on my listing asking me to send more photos to their Gmail. Like that screams scams
"Can you model" and the item is a thong set. Lol
Offer what You want. Sure I won’t accept all offers but no need to post a chart. Usually I’ll counter offer except the odd thing i list for a very low cost in hopes that someone will put that item in a bundle and ill send a better offer that way.
The other day someone asked me to “try it on” and the item was lingerie. Seriously ppl! You don’t need to see my body in lingerie to help you make the decision to purchase it or not. Ugh… made me cringe!
