I am speaking from a seller & a buyer's point of view. I have made almost 2,000$ just selling clothes I don't wear anymore (I have tons!) and have received almost all 5 star ratings. I also buy on this site as well.

I see that people on this site complain entirely too much about things that are not true. Every company and business has issues, it doesn't matter who you are. Poshmark has only been around for a couple of years, and I have to say they are doing a wonderful job even though they have problems still to fix.

1. Commission.
Yes, they do take a commission. But, let me ask you a question. How much do you get for a shirt at a yardsale? 50 cents, if that? I would way rather sell a shirt that's in brand new condition that I never wore for 10$ (because its worth that) than get 50 cents for it.

2. Customer service.
Most people that complain about their customer service do not read the rules prior to purchasing. Poshmark clearly advertises that all sales are final, unless you receive and item that is damaged or fake, ect. You can't just send an item back because you don't like it or it doesn't fit you the way you want it to. I'm not saying that isn't disappointing, but it isn't the sellers fault, and Poshmark has the rules written all over the place!

With that being said, I have had a few purchases here and there that were damaged. I sent photographs, got my shipping label, and sent it back no problem. Poshmark customer service replies way more quickly than most sites and will help you solve the problem.

3. "I don't sell anything".
Let me get this straight with you, coming from a seller. This website is not one where you can just list an item and expect it to sell in two seconds. You have to follow people, share others items, and share your own items. You make friends on this site as well. If you don't want to work for your sales, then this isn't the site for you. I think it's kind of fun actually.

Also, you have to drop your prices and negotiate your prices. Poshmark offers great shipping promotions (like 0.99 cent/1.99 shipping on price drop orders). They really try to help you sell!

4. "The people on it are horrible, awful, rude"
The people on this site are 100% NOT awful, rude, or horrible. OF COURSE there are going to be scammers and mean people. Sorry to break it to you, but that's something you will have to get over. There are mean people and scammers no matter where you go. Truly, there are so many nice women that will help you try to sell your stuff, and you can help them back! Just block the rude people, that is what I do. The women on this app are funny and kind people, for the most part.

5. "The items suck"
I sell and buy on this site, but my entire family buys items on here all the time. It is one of the best shopping places ever! There are, of course, extremely overpriced items, but that will happen no matter where you go. I have found the cutest things for so cheap, that come in BRAND NEW condition from expensive brands! If you look, I promise anyone could find awesome items for great prices.

MY ADVICE:
-Ask the seller first if the item is available, and ask them any questions you have about the item. If they don't respond, don't buy it. You can see when they were last active!
-Give this app a try. It really is great. You will have so much fun.
-Stop complaining about things that happen no matter where you go in the world. Its not worth your time. Look at the positive and go with it!
