I have been trying to get this one jacket which is fairly expensive. I have been pondering over the idea of whether or not accept the return, but it appears from what I have read here, I might as well fart in the wind. I dont mind if she changed her mind, gave it away, etc But nothing. Im just done.. I have never had this problem before so when the buyer left me a comment asking if I was going to ship I was confused and looked into the matter post office is a little behind updating and I felt so badof course the one time I dont wait in the long line to get a receipt!!!

Recently I started putting more time into it and I noticed that I actually started to see more purchases! I think given the fact that Posh expects you to sell items at least at 50% off retail, then they want you to offer a discount on top of that and then Posh takes 20% off the top and NOW they have made it so you can make offers on bundles you might as well give your stuff away!!

My main reasons for abandoning this platform are: 1). So.. she seems to be a bit of a problem. I submitted pictures, but said I refused to touch the item. During the pandemic, I havent wanted to deal with all the time wasted selling to these stores in person so Ive just been mailing in things that I dont care about. I accepted the dress in the Poshmark app before I had examined it since I was sure that it would be fine coming from a reliable Posher and I wanted to make sure that she received the payment from Poshmark as soon as possible.
