Hi all,
I'm a longtime buyer and seller on Poshmark and I always (just like most people) mention that my home is pet and smoke free. If anyone ever asks I'm open to letting them know if I have pets etc. As someone who has allergies I am absolutely perplexed by two things I have been experiencing with every second purchase recently:
- comes either covered in pet hair or there's quite a few that it was definitely not lint rolled(why are we sending dirty items?)
- sellers do not disclose if they have pets, I assume they do not and it is not on me a as the buyer to message everyone and ensure they clean their items properly, I assume everyone does this
- when I message (I don't dispute) the seller asking them as to what happened/whether it's a dog or a cat, I get very aggressive responses that essentially blame me for not asking
So then my question is, is this normal for people with pets to not clean their items pre sale while also not disclosing that they have pets? I'm not talking about a couple of hairs here and there, I'm talking a significant amount.
No matter how much I sell my items for I always make sure to wash them, lint roll them and double check for stains/holes I could have missed prior.
