From fed up to ThredUp
I finally did it last night…after being annoyed with the steady declines in Poshmark’s platform and policies, I and finally this “inactive listings” nonsense, I cleaned out my Posh closet. Some items I moved to other platforms, and others with less resale value are being sent away in a ThredUp bag. I am washing my hands of this service as a seller.
I hadn’t listed anything new in awhile after being screwed out of a sale by Poshmark approving a return for a fit issue, even though that’s explicitly not their policy. I was also screwed as a buyer by an incorrectly described item listing created by their garbage AI for lazy sellers (Posh sided with the seller even though the item I received was a different style and color than the photos). It was nice while it lasted as I made hundreds of sales of personal items, but I’m now relieved to be done with this platform and move on.
I get the sense that others are leaving in droves…how common is this experience? If you are a buyer also, will you stop making purchases through Posh?
