This buyer is relatively new. This appears to be her first purchase because she has left no feedback. I could be wrong and she could just be someone who doesn’t leave feedback on her purchases.

Anyway, she filed a case on Friday, as soon as her bag was delivered.

Poshmark asked her for to provide photos right after she opened the case.

So yesterday, the buyer said she can’t upload more photos and said she scraped the tassel and smelled it and it doesn’t smell like leather.

So I asked Poshmark to respond. They still haven’t. Now the buyer is asking me for an update and Poshmark is still nowhere to be found.

Does anyone know the timelines for Poshmark to handle something like this?

I’ve never been in a situation like this before despite selling on posh for over 10 years.

I overdid absolutely everything about a week ago that resulted in the worst PEM crash I’ve ever had. It lasted 6 days.

6 days of being bedridden - absolutely broken mentally and physically.

I’m starting to feel a little better today - so I got dressed just a bit ago.

Background: In March 2025 I was diagnosed ME/CFS and a bunch of other sensory processing disorders. I had a complete mental and physical breakdown in January 2024.

Prior to that I was an endurance athlete for my entire life since about 5 years old when I became a gymnast then spent years as a competitive gymnast. I was in the midst of severe trauma as well. I was taken away from my family when I was 4 and raised in foster care from then on.

I was NOT allowed to have limits or feelings as a foster kid so I learned to just push through and dissociate from everything including my own needs.

I’m now 57 with a very long history of pushing myself while ignoring my pain and limits.

That’s all I have ever known. I’ve also run several full marathons and was in the Marines for 9 years. IYKYK.

Last full marathon I ran was December 2019 and, at age 50, it was my best time ever!

I’m still proud of that but today I’m a completely different person. In early 2024 my body and mind refused to be pushed past its limits anymore.

TL;DR

This week I learned that wearing an activity tracker of any kind, not just an Apple Watch, but also a ring or other kind of sports watch, triggers me to over-exert because I’m wired to constantly push limits and compete with my prior day’s activity and do more more more because I feel good!

So yeah. I can’t do that. Ever. Like no exceptions. Period. This is hard.

When my PEM crash initially hit last Friday, I stopped wearing my watch because I wasn’t going to need it being bedridden.

So today I made the connection - those activity trackers trigger me to do more.

Today I accept my limits and give myself grace to continue resting and not push myself to do more and be stronger.

For me, THAT takes a TON of discipline so I will focus and not give in to the urge to push myself or wear my trackers.

Getting rid of all my trackers today.

I learn something new about myself every day as a result of this illness. For the first time in my life, I’m allowed to have feelings and have limits.

Yes, it is also a loss of the super capable person I once was but now I’m learning to accept myself as a woman, as a human, and as someone who is worthy of having limits and feelings. 🙏🏻

Buyer opened a case on Friday. Poshmark Support is MIA. Any insight here?

My wife was almost hit by a kid riding an e-bike on a neighborhood sidewalk. This article might be a good read for parents who have kids zooming around on e-bikes.
