I am just venting, really, but the turnaround time is starting to suck. I asked about it during my recent check-in and was told to start checking in two weeks in advance. Two weeks?
It literally used to take 2–3 days. I may have to switch providers because this is nonsense.
Is anyone here checking in earlier now?
I am realizing I hate listing clothing. Shoes and bags appear to be the fastest sellers. Plus, they are the easiest to package, especially shoes, thanks to the box. What about you?
Low offers on already affordably priced items are often declined, not out of spite, but because they simply aren’t worth the seller’s time and effort. When an item is listed at a very fair price, especially something new, dropping it even further means the seller is left with only a couple of dollars after fees. At that point, it requires printing a label, carefully packaging the item, and making a trip to the post office, all for minimal return. For many sellers, it makes more sense to donate the item than to go through that entire process for such a small amount.
I am always amazed at how ridiculously low people expect an item.
ETA: If I price a brand new pair of shoes for $8.00, I am not selling them to you for $4.00!
Wow! Thanks everyone for responding, even you all that disagree and find the post annoying, but are ironically annoyed and left a nasty, snarky comment to show your frustration. 😂😂😂
Just to be clear, Poshmark isn’t my career; it’s a side hustle. I donate regularly, but when I have brand-new, unworn items, it’s reasonable to try to recoup at least a small return. Donating immediately can feel wasteful, especially knowing those same items may be resold at a higher price elsewhere.
I understand that I can decline or block low offers, and I do, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t frustrating. Let’s be honest: if it truly didn’t bother anyone, people wouldn’t take the time to decline or block in the first place. So while I respect different perspectives, I’m not convinced it’s as insignificant as some claim.
That said, I do appreciate the engagement, even from those who disagree.
