Poshmark: Buy & Sell Fashion Reviews

I have been using this app for several years now and have been very pleased for the most part. The few issues I have encountered have been met with overall good customer service.
I was pleased when they began to offer various shipping fees (4.99, 5.95, & 7.11), as I agree with what many others have said, that since the market for USED and AFFORDABLE clothing is the main focus of Poshmark, a $7 shipping fee can often be the price or near the price of the item you are buying.
A suggestion would be to fix the categories people filter, shop, and create listings by. As an example, the women’s dresses category has numerous subcategories that are varying descriptors of a dress. Mini, maxi, one shoulder, long sleeve, strapless, et cetera. But what if you have a one shoulder maxi dress? Or a long sleeve mini dress? Which category do you select? I believe changing these categories to be more cohesive would make it much easier and less confusing for people to find what they are looking for.
For example, instead of all these random subcategories, perhaps all the subcategories could pertain to the same aspect of a dress. Like the subcategories are mini, midi, maxi. Or sleeveless, short sleeve, long sleeve.
I believe that could greatly improve how quickly and easily shoppers can find what they have in mind using the filter tools.

I have sold and bought now on this app and the one thing they do incredibly well is their customer service. The response time is within the next day and they are so awesome in explaining and/or correcting problems. They have always corrected all the problems i have had and then some. Customer support is so important in an app like this where money and transactions are constantly involved. So kudos to the whole this app team!
Few suggestions:
There are few things that would make Poshmark better, nothing that would demote the 5 stars I think Poshmark deserves. One would be to be able to pick the shipping weight. $7.11 flat shipping rate is a lot, especially when most of the buyers are buying single clothing items that do not cost the $7.11 to ship. It doesn't make much sense. And another thing would be to report users for manipulating tags. There are so many boutiques that add popular brand tags in their posts so when you search for that brand, all of that boutiques clothing is something you have to scroll through. Its fairly annoying, and its not right. These boutiques are taking away from us who are just trying to sell one thing at a time. The search feed becomes a mess from them. They shouldn't be able to spam every one of their posts with the tags.

I’ve been a seller & buyer on this app for about 2 years now. I’ve made many sales. It’s not my main source of income but I make lots of extra spending money! There are definitely some bad sellers out there as well as scamming buyers, but the ratio of good to bad is slim. Before purchasing, I always check for Love Notes (reviews), what their ship time avg is, and if they’ve been active recently. I’ve had nothing but good purchases from Doing so! Also if something ever goes wrong as far as not getting the right item or item is damaged, you can always open a case and return and/or get a refund. The one thing that ticks me off about posh is the amount of junk & replicas being sold when they are clearly either not allowed or illegal! And we as sellers/buyers are the ones who basically have to get them removed. I wish posh had more security and was able to instantly remove listings that are unallowed. This is a clothing/accessory/shoes/new, not swatched makeup platform ONLY. I wish they would do more to keep it so! Its also really frustrating when I’m trying to find something from a certain brand and there are so many items from a different brand mistagged for “exposure”. I could report them all, but that would take months! There are so many unallowed listings and rules being broken and they need to do something about it besides having us sort through them in our own time at no cost.

I buy and sell, and it’s def better for buyers than sellers. You can make offers and communicate easily with sellers. There are some great deals to be had. Just make sure you ask all your questions and request pics until you’re confident you want to buy since there are no returns (except when something has been blatantly misrepresented).

Selling, on the other hand, has downsides that are the flip side of the same coin. People make ridiculous lowball offers. For example, say I’ve used a $200 handbag just a few times but then for whatever reason need some cash. I list for $100 which is a fair price and very good deal (keeping in mind I won’t be getting the full $100 anyway), and someone comes in offering $40. It’s just insulting and a waste of my time and I don’t even want to bother negotiating. This obv isn’t Poshmark , but worth mentioning because it’s part of the overall this app experience. I’d say the vast majority of buyers behave like this. Out of every 25 transactions, probably only 1 is a straight up purchase at listed price. Plus, you have to put a LOT of work into keeping your items visible and be super active on Poshmark .

But the worst part about selling is the 20% fee. I’ve ended up making $2 on an item before. The best part about selling is how the shipping label is just emailed to you so you can just pop the item into the drop box. Honestly not sure I would do this over again - I’d look into other apps for sure.

I have a few suggestions. It would make life much easier if, when we make an offer to liters, we can see all of our previous offers on that item. When I try to make an offer to a liked on a particular item it says it wasn’t sent to any likers and that I need to lower the price. Usually i have to make several tries at lowering the price because I don’t remember what amount I previously offered. It shows you a history of your offers only after a successful offer goes through. I love Poshmark aside from the 20% this app takes and I wish there were certain days or events where they could lower it to 10% for a specific time period. Also I wish they would make closet clear out less confusing. I still don’t know how it works. I don’t know if I’m supposed to make an offer to likers or just edit the item price to receive discounted shipping. I also wish it would show us the discounted shipping this app covers for closet clear out, or at least show a timer left to sell that item. Lastly I wish there were more incentives for parties. I’ve had a few items chosen for host picks but that never helps me. It feels like parties are just a place for sellers to list their items without the presence of many buyers. Maybe this app could offer discounted shipping on host pick items or some type of incentive.

I’m 6 years a seller & a buyer. I’ve used 3 other platforms before but this app is my favorite by far. Although some may balk at Poshmark seller fees I believe it is well priced for what Poshmark does. Shipping is fixed tho that changes through special shipping deals so bundle when u & save! They continually improve Poshmark & customer service is getting better with more staff. I like the social part of Poshmark & meeting new ppl from all over the USA & Canada is quite fun. Millions use Poshmark yet it doesn’t feel that way. Participating in daily parties, sharing your items & sharing others items - really makes Poshmark stand out! No other app has this feature. In doing this we can & do empower each other to success. The other apps are all competition only & I personally prefer this app to buy esp now that new categories were added like the home & electronic market! So if u are looking for something more than just a storefront? Try it! as to shopping & to the ease of use? By far the best out there. Good job this app! 👏👏 The one thing I’d liked to see improve right now is to allow ppl to bundle items themselves & have the ship rate set for up to 5 lbs. I believe as a buyer & seller I would really love & use that feature! Still my fav app!

I sell on Poshmark and I have over 100 listings. I love it so much and it has only been 1 and a half months and I have already sold 10 things! (Considering that these are all my unworn clothes or slightly used clothes that I was going to give away) it was very impressing. I have all 5 star reviews! But, the one thing is Poshmarks fee is pretty high. If you sell something for $10 you only get $7.05. Or, $100 you only get $80. So it is a 20% fee. I have found other apps that don’t have a fee like Poshmark Vinted, but when I sell something it wants my Social Security number, so don’t get that app by the way. However another thing Vinted has us where you can chose how heavy what you are shipping will be, so you don’t have to pay 6.99 for shipping after your first purchase. I think Sellers should be able to chose the weight so buyers don’t have to pay so much! But other than those two minor improvements this app could make I absolutely love Poshmark and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in buying, or selling on Poshmark. It is completely secure and doesn’t ask for you social like that Fraud app Vinted. And has a buyer return policy, so if you don’t get what you were supposed to then you get your money back! Anyways, definitely get Poshmark and check it out!

I love Poshmark! I know there are always Pros and Cons to every App that people can buy & sell off of, but that’s the user’s choice to live with it or use another app. When you sign up for this app, you know what the fees are and how much shipping will be. This isn’t a surprise or something you find out later on. I am a buyer and seller and have had no problems with Poshmark or their Customer Service! I bought wholesale items from two different sellers that came damaged upon arrival and PM customer service has been great taking care of the problems. this app is a great app to sell clothes you don’t wear anymore and don’t want to sell at a Yard Sale. Yes, you may get $2 for that item, but it beats $.25 at a Yard Sale! And you can always delete the listing and SELL them at a Yard Sale! As a seller, you decide what to sell items for. There will always be low ballers, but you can always deny the offer or counter the offer! I like the options you have as a buyer and seller. And if there’s something shady going on, you have the option to report it. I think this app is great and getting better with every update. If you have a problem, let PM know. If you don’t like how they do things, that’s up to you to get another app to sell on. PM is a very good app and it’s been a great experience overall. 🙂

I started buying on this app back in February and then started selling on this app in May of this year. I don’t get on Instagram or Pinterest nearly as much because this app has become my favorite app to use. It’s more of a community than you’d expect. It’s a positive place. If you have any issues you can contact posh support and they take care of you. And they’re fair about it. Never in a million years did I think I’d love selling clothes or even meet some of the greatest people, on a clothing application. It’s indescribable. It’s so much fun. It really is. You have to try it to believe it. It’s not complicated. It’s not overwhelming. You sell something and this app emails you the shipping label. You print the label slap it on the box and drop it at the post office. That’s it. How much easier can it get? And I’ve met more people on this app than instagram. It’s a positive environment. I remember getting my first package from my first purchase and inside the box there was a thank you note from the seller. Something that simple made the whole experience feel like I was getting something from a friend. Not a stranger. I’m not the clothing app kind of person. I never would have thought I’d enjoy something like this over my social media apps. But I do. I love it! Just try it. You’ll see what I mean.

Soooo I believe this is the only review I’ve ever written written, but it’s well deserved. I have so many clothes, never have I gotten rid of anything in the past 30 years, some of it is 30 years old with the tags on it still! It’s too valuable to me to just donate to the Goodwill and when you do something like have a garage sale or go to a consignment shop, you usually only get a few bucks at the most for something. So with nowhere to go with it, I’ve hung onto it for years. One night while trying to figure out what to do with an old jacket that was valuable, I had the idea to put it on this app. I had recently found out this app was free to list items and this is why I went with this app. I posted the item and in the morning it had sold for $100!! So then I did it again with two more items, and the next morning, those were sold also! So I’ve been doing it for two months now and I’ve made over $2000, I have hundreds of items on there and this is the perfect platform for my things! I wish I knew about this sooner but I’m just happy to have found it when I did! I’ve also rotated out my current wardrobe and I’ve gotten an entire new closet full of clothes! Where has this app been all my life?!?!

I joined Posh when Poshmark first started, I thought great idea I was working Retail Management and found the discount and appeal to such a service just Devine! Unfortunately I was in a catastrophic roll over. Many surgeries later and lots of tears
And hiding from life I was deleting apps from my cell. Honestly finding Posh again opening Poshmark I started crying such growth in the business so many people all the New information. I have been addicted admiring, shopping and making plans on how to really clean my closet So all my beautiful things can get some love. Thank you to all the Amazing full of ideas and such sweet women. May Poshmark continue to inspire and give back to all of the wonderful ladies who strive so hard to be the best part of Great Women at every corner. Mom’s, CEO’s, Wife’s,Business owners we ladies own this spectrum. Remember every piece that is put out for us was once a special item that was needed or admired or a must have for an occasion. A lot of times these very items carry great memories and even shoppers remorse. Not anymore those items will live on and actually give back a second time and we super women can keep dressing and doing all that makes us the best and know down deep there is a posher Waiting to share in your new purchase!!

I was very happy with this app until they recently updated it and now it loads very slow and is almost unusable. The problem is that the website now loads only eight items at a time. When you scroll down you get a message that says “loading more” and after a few seconds another eight items will load. The slowness is frustrating enough, but the biggest problem is that after so many scrolls and “loading more” messages the screen will go white and then throw you back at the top of your closet. You now have to start all over again. It’s very frustrating and has made browsing and sharing nearly impossible. I am now starting to list on other platforms because without being able to share my closet, my sales have dropped significantly. I wrote support multiple times. I normally received prewritten responses. I finally received a response from a developer and they temporarily changed things back, but after about a week it went back to the new system of loading only eight items a time. I loved this app, but this system “update” has made it almost unusable from a sellers standpoint and has forced me to start listing on other sites. Very disappointed.

I initially thought Posh was a fun way to sell on line but the high fees and shipping rates are a problem. I have literally received 5 cents from selling items for $3. Once the item is below $10 then the minimum Posh fee of $2.95 becomes greater than 20%. Additionally, it’s hardly worth paying $6.49 in shipping fees for inexpensive lightweight items. I think this structure needs to be revised. As a seller, I basically give away stuff; regardless of how low I price merchandise, the offers come in ridiculously (insultingly) lower where I often prefer not to sell. As a buyer, the items I like are marked up above what I see in retail (or they are not bargain shoppers and grossly over paid from the start). The constant promotions just encourage us to continue marking stuff down with no benefits. I don’t think the application is easy to use as I would like to be able to look at the sellers stats before a purchase to assure quality. I did appreciate the free authentication of items above $500. Additionally, sellers must stay alert to constant scammers. I don’t think I will continue to do this much longer.

There should be more avenues to provide feedback, like themes for Posh parties like: White Party Attire (all white items), Game Day (jerseys and sports paraphernalia), Plus size parties, High Cotton (only 100% cotton), etc. I think requiring the fabrication as listed on labels is important.

People have taken over this app with so called “Vintage clothing” when in reality they just ripped off a design from 20 years ago and probably screen printed it on an older tee to make it look vintage this is Retro or Vintage inspired and if you know what your looking for Physical Tags 🏷 that appear to be from a older era and not screen printed on Tags or prints on a blank, you’ll usually see that. Also stitching and type of material will be a dead give away. Vintage is 20 years or older with some exceptions. Retro is vintage inspired. Please consider changing your description if your item is retro instead of vintage as this causes a huge problem for people trying to source vintage clothing and actually pay top dollar for “true vintage” also it is considered false advertising and is a form of deception. You can barely find true vintage clothing on here anymore because the market has been flooded with numerous retro remakes on blank tees claiming to be vintage. The this app developers should try to make it to where only true vintage clothing can have vintage in the title and block the tag if the item doesn’t appear to be from the early 2000s and offer the term retro or remake or vintage inspired as an alternative. I know this will probably never be the case but Mabey we can all #makeposhmarkgreatagain

I absolutely love Poshmark! I have sold way more than I ever would’ve sold on Etsy, offerup, or macari... there are also greater finds here. It’s like walking in to a high end thrift shop but brands like Coach and Louis Vuton are much more worth the purchase as the prices are Dropped! Only thing I would change is it’s very hard to navigate between your offers/bundles/likes/shares/sales/follows... they said they changed that so it be easier in the last update however I don’t think it was made for an iPhone sxmax or an iPad 6 yet. Posh Ambassador program is cool I just wish we took on more responsibility with Posh after all we worked our tail off to get here we obviously love Posh! Also Customer Support is very much slow, as a seller with someone who already placed an order and the buyers shipping label won’t print cause their address is wrong, and you keep loosing out on selling! I think there should be some sort of direct contact with Posh Support like a number or something for customer service... because the longer we wait to ship our shipping rating goes down, and that is just not cool! Other than that I absolutely am in love with this app and highly recommend it for both people who love to shop and for people who love to sell! I highly recommend Poshmark!!!

this app has been very user friendly. I have made enough sales to keep it interesting. My “goal” is to sell items I have around that I think someone else would benefit from and put to good use, while I cash in on a few dollars. I have had most all good experiences with both buying & selling. My plan was to sell only and make a few dollars on items I may have donated. It is bothersome when people low ball offers. I have missed out on some offers because I truly feel the value of my item deserves more than their offer. Especially since this app gets the first 20%! All in all I feel it is a “win win”. My first feedback I gave on a purchase the seller responded not very nice. I thought I was being kindly helpful....oops I was wrong! Lesson learned. The site is easy to navigate and the poshers I have dealt with seem to be very upfront & honest. I have actually qualified to be an Ambassador; however I have not elected to do so. Not ready to commit to the requirements. I am so far satisfied with my experience to date. I have learned in life to take one day at a time! Thank you for the opportunity to list, sell & buy. I like how well the site functions so far. Thank you for allowing this feedback.

Poshmark seems to work fine but I had to offload it because of business structure vs functionality. Here’s what I don’t like:
T huge majority of these sellers are ridiculous. I’ve had one trying to sell me the same already worn dress for $40 that I could’ve bought new, at Macy’s, on clearance, for $40 plus tax which would be less than her used $40 dress with shipping. Second- the emails and alerts and reminders are overwhelming. I don’t really need or want a bazillion of them every day. If sellers were encouraged to price things to move, they wouldn’t be barraging buyers with repeated discount offers, clogging up my email and my phones CPU. They’d actually sell items.
this app could fix this problem by suggesting 75% off price originally paid (who pays full retail upfront anyway? No one.) and higher based on age of item and condition. Shoes aren’t posh if the heels are worn to nubs. Also- I’m not buying a damaged “designer” item at any discount once there’s a hole in it, it doesn’t matter what the label says. No one sees the label. They see the hole. That’s what Goodwill is for. There are a ton of items that are listed but no longer for sale, and it’s not obvious- this app should have a time limit for sellers which would encourage them to price things to move and bonus-
not frustrate buyers looking at a coat that someone couldn’t sell last year for $50 so they donated it and never deleted the listing.

this app is outstanding because of the inventory posted by the users/members. PM itself takes a hefty 20% Commission for the convenience of using its platform and its shipping/payment software. That’s some pretty light lifting by PM and not a whole lot of risk for 20% (the $500+ authentication service is worth it). Also, if a transaction goes bad, especially something as simple as a canceled sale, it takes this app two full business days to return the funds... that are simply sitting in this app’s accounts. If a buyer used redeemable funds (also sitting in this app’s accounts), which were deducted from her/his available balance immediately at the time of the sale, a canceled sale (with no merchandise shipped) should result in immediate replenishment of those redeemable funds. The two day delay, especially in that scenario, makes no sense and probably doesn’t even benefit PM a whole lot because they hold the funds regardless of whether they are in “escrow” waiting for the sale to be completed or are assigned to an individual “redeemable funds” balance, earning whatever (overnight interest, etc.) they do on the “float.” Nevertheless, this is still the best option for finding fantastic, comprehensive, inventory and being able to negotiate price with the actual seller, so I’m in it until someone improves on the process or offers a more economical option for the users.

I’ve been selling and buying on this platform for about a year and half andIt’s a great way to minimize unwanted clothing items and to purchase new or like new items and give them a new life at a great price too! Although shipping is a flat rate shipping you can offer reduce shipping it may be much for one item but the good thing is you can ship up to 5 pounds with one shipping label which is priority shipping as well and the person gets her item usually within 2 to 3 days and you get paid quicker which is a really good deal and still it’s cheaper than purchasing shipping on your own at the post office I saw another apps but I’ve sold the most this past year on this app I’m trying to download size all of my items and this is helping me and helping me earn extra money to pay off bills at same time!Customer service is excellent they respond back right away even though it’s only through email I’ve never had a problem where they didn’t answer right away so if you’re thinking about clearing out your closet I want to earn some extra money while you do it download the this app app do you won’t be sorry you did and it’s fun too 🤗🌸

From selling part time to funding out of production items when they wear out or rare pieces across many brands, this app is excellent. Its seller fee rate of 20% is not ideal, but they more than make up for it with prompt and friendly albeit extremely helpful customer service and all expenses covered shipping conventions for sellers in most circumstances. Most if any problems will be settled promptly with a solution that favors both parties to any extant possible. There are many options when it comes to selling online, but posgmark makes it easy, simple, and virtually worry free compared to other platforms. Their no returns based on size policy is a huge stress reducer for selling to finicky buyers. 3 years string and the sales have been steady and plentiful. Put in the work with quality items and you won't be regretful. As a buyer, there are many options for returns if an item is not as described, and payment is held in limbo until you report the item fits its description within 3 days, or your money back. If you have any doubts about sizing, just ask for measurements. If a seller can't provide, they probably aren't worth your time anyway. Buy, sell, Poshmark is a reliable source! i

The shipping has increased which only leads me to believe it will continue to rise. If it continues to rise less people will sell and shop on here. The new tax added is ideal for sellers and I understand the reason behind it but I have noticed less people buying on here due to the new tax increase. They definitely should offer a lower shipping rate for items weighing under a pound. Most people don’t want to pay almost $7 for shipping a pair of bikini bottoms that weigh nothing. If there was an option like other sites have for $4 to ship lighter items that would most definitely help increase sales and make people happier with shipping increase and also tax increase it will help give balance. If other sites have worked out with USPS to ship items for $4 there’s no reason Poshmark (which in my opinion is prob the leading app of its class) can’t do the same! I agree it is amazing when it comes to heavier items it’s by far the best! I just think it can be even better! If you think about it, cheaper shipping for buyers mean they buy more! As a company if you took even a little bit of a hit with shipping and offer $4 for lighter items your sales will overall increase and your gross profit will too! You will by far make more this way making people want to shop more! If you can figure out how to offer the $4 shipping it will also keep people from shipping the other sites because this site in my opinion is the best with the exception of shipping prices.

I've been selling and buying on this app since March 2017, so far it has been a wonderful app.
Update…
I was originally happy with this app. In 2018 I had to move because of my husband’s surgery. In that move I had to change all of my personal information. Including losing my phone number that I’ve had for 26 years. Now that we moved and he’s better and we’re both working I was wanting to start poshing again. I have been trying to update my information with Poshmark for the last week. Numerous times contacting customer support has resulted in automatic emailing. I have received the same response from the same person after asking different questions. For some reason I’m getting every single email from this app in my Gmail account but I’m not receiving their verification emails. They say that they’re being received by my account. Now without having access to my original phone number or being able to receive verification emails I cannot change any of my information. They claim that it’s for security and privacy. But I was able to send off a copy of my drivers license to change my email address but they will not do that for my phone number so I can get verification codes. Now my new email is still not receiving verification codes. I have therefore given up trying to communicate with this app customer support and have requested that my balance in my account be transferred to my chosen bank account.

I had a ton of clothes just sitting in my closet. I gave lots away and still had three closets full. A friend told me about this app a year ago and I just never followed up. I was going to have a yard sale, but so many of my clothes still had tags and I wouldn't get 2.00 for them, so she happened to mention POSH again and I downloaded Poshmark on August 30 and began posting. It's so easy to use. Very user friendly. There are no hidden "fees", it actually tells you what your take will be as you list it. I do think 20% is a bit high, but they do process the payments, send the shipping labels etc... there's not much the user has to do but share, share, share. It can be a little overwhelming at first on all the sharing and getting followers, but it's also very addictive.
I also think the shipping is a bit high for some items as well, but I also get that for priority shipping, it's a certain amount. So pros and cons to everything, but they seem to be listening and making it better for everyone. I did have Poshmark crash a few times but other than that, I'd totally recommend it, if you want to spend the time sharing your items so that they can be seen by literally hundreds of thousands of people. It's your own boutique!

Great place to sell, buy and meet new people from all over, I just bought a new home other wise my closet would be 10 times larger, Once I am finished with my move that’s when my closet will become a lot more items on My this app closet, if fact at my new home I have 1 of my bedrooms I am turning into my this app Room only, I will also have a personal model so I can sell my clothes a lot faster, people like to see the clothes on a person, much better than taking a photo on a hanger or lying on a bed, ect. I have turned this app onto many friends, family, health aids, one of my friends is just starting her this app and with her Dad being a Multi millionaire she will have some beautiful clothing, boots, shoes, ect. even people I meet in stores,I tell them about this app I have been in customer service and sales for over 38 yrs. I have even helped people on this app sell there clothing, I also share every morning other posh people items, this one lady is looking for a specific Jacket I told her I would help her find one, this app will become one of the Largest App. In the U.S within 1-2 more years, if you think this app is large now just wait and see, If only I could buy some STOCK in this app I would. Yours truly Kathrine Gould

Hi there! Here is my two cents! I L💖VE Poshmark
because it is so much MORE than an app! I joined the this app Community just three short months ago, to do as so many others’ are doing here: making Closet space, and passing on items than no longer fit/Never did fit🤓/ or that you simply do not wear any longer. this app is great for that! Not an auction but rather a truly online store. I have made several purchases along the way, all of which I am very pleased with. And I have made a good deal of money selling my own personal items that I’ve never worn. I am mostly a shoe/Jewelry-obsessed kinda girl, so it’s been very easy to sell. You get a pre-paid postage label, SUPER-Convenient! I get my supplies online as well, I only pay for my actual “presentation” which for me is a handwritten Thank You, and various sizes of colorful pouches that I Package my jewelry items in. I also would like to mention that if you seek and find a “Share” Buddy, it becomes even easier. I have one remarkable Sharer, who always helps me at Every Party! And I have several more Share Buddies that do the same. It is truly a community of Buyers, Sellers, and Friends! Try it for your self!!! Thanks!
