  1. [R1] Poshmark 2/5 · US Aggressive upselling: The casual seller who is clearing out their closet will find that it can take six months to over a year to sell an item. Every time a listing is created or edited Poshmark pushes promotions. With millions of listings this is an absolute waste of money. Unable to opt out of the constant invitations to “posh parties”. So even if you just want to know if your listing sold, you
  2. [R6] Poshmark 3/5 · US Used to be great: 5 years ago, had no problem selling things and overall a good platform. Now you have to pay to promote your listings or they will not be seen. I just downloaded Vinted and have sold clothes in 1 day that have been sitting on Poshmark for > 1 year. Plus vinted does not take $3 from all sales. So, I will be switching apps.
  3. [R16] Poshmark 1/5 · US Just Awful Lately: Been on Poshmark for 10 years as a basic closet seller, happy with my sales and the few purchases I would make. But these last few months have been the absolute worst. No sales. No sharing. No likes. No offers. No incentives to list new things or put items on sale. An absolute dead zone. As a seller, you’re punished if you cross-list to other sites. As a buyer, you’re stuck with
  4. [R17] Poshmark 5/5 · US Love to list on Poshmark: Poshmark is the most user friendly platform for reselling! I love it and I love that my merch gets lots of views!! I sell everything! Thank you Poshmark
  5. [R3] Poshmark 3/5 · US Poshmark: It’s not like EBay or marketplace at all. You pay a lot in my opinion to post something most of the time not worth it.
  6. [R25] Poshmark 2/5 · US Not sure if my brands are fancy enough: Not really sure what i originally paid for each item. Hate that you take so much money out with today’s economy. I’m just a teacher trying to survive bills.
  7. [R4] Poshmark 1/5 · US I hate every update: I hate every new update. I dislike that you can no longer see how many followers a person has. I dislike that you can no longer see how many likes you have at first glance. I dislike that you can't see how many a new alert you have. It used to show a number. No one seems to follow anyone anymore and no one seems to share anything anymore. The ease of use and the community fe
  8. [R9] Poshmark 3/5 · US Love it but…: Love poshmark. Use it all the time. However many of the adjustments to the interface don’t make sense. That I can no longer see following/followers on my main page is annoying. It has become more difficult to find the things I like from the sellers i follow and sellers in my area. Overall the updates are not helpful to sourcing what I like quickly. However I do still love Poshmark.
  9. [R10] Poshmark 2/5 · US Ads have ruined it: I used to adore Poshmark and shopped the app for great finds. I’ve also sold via the app and found their services simple and easy. However, recently they introduced ads and it ruined the experience - instead of relevant items that I want to see, I have to scroll through tons of ads for items that aren’t even my size.
  10. [R12] Poshmark 3/5 · US Updated app: The second you get used to an update on this app, they update it again. They don’t consider user feedback, especially from people who spend frequently. This app is constantly updating and not for the better. Leave it alone for awhile. Let people get used to it before you overhaul it yet again
  11. [R15] Poshmark 3/5 · US Every time you list something, you can a phishing email: Every time I list an item for sale, I receive at least scam emails trying to act like a customer or act like they work for Poshmark.
  12. [R19] Poshmark 1/5 · US Did me dirty: I made an account that my friend recommended to do and when I got my first sale I was happy and did all the steps it wanted me to do but then I got scammed OFF THE REAL APP AND EVERYTHING and lost over 450 bucks
  13. [R22] Poshmark 1/5 · US Worst App Ever. You Will Get Scammed: I would NOT recommend this app. I put up two posts for item and was immediately bombarded with emails. And I was thinking “Oh they really like my stuff”. WRONG. It said it was sold and gave me the print order. I go to print the receipt and it continues to ask very personal questions about my debit card, and social security numbers. I got scammed. $412 out of m
  14. [R45] Poshmark 1/5 · US Fraudulent charges: Keeps fraudulently charging my debit card for a promoted closet subscription that I never purchased and even after my bank determined that the charge was fraudulent and I was issued a credit with the case closed, Poshmark continued to charge my debit card. I asked for this last card on my profile to be removed since the application won’t allow me to remove it myself, but Poshma
  15. [R34] Poshmark 1/5 · US Use another app: Go to their socials and see all the users complaining about their horrible customer service. No accountability, including my case.
  16. [R39] Poshmark 3/5 · US Customer Service could improve: I love Poshmark, but Customer Service is not so great and I hope that they improve on communicating better with us as sellers as we do try to make a business from this and try to make it fun
  17. [R40] Poshmark 1/5 · US Support center and administrative staff is trash and ruins entire platform: As soon as my accounts start getting popular and gaining momentum, like getting several sales in a row and tons of likes and follows and shares, suddenly my account gets suspended and all my listings disappear and I can’t post anything and of course I’m given no explanations, no reasons, no rules broken or things needing t
  18. [R44] Poshmark 5/5 · US Best editing tools: Poshmark may not be the cheapest place to buy things, but you get what you pay for. Buyers and sellers have higher expectations. As a seller in different platforms, hands down, Poshmark has the best brand recognition and easiest composition tools. I love Poshmark and being a seller. They make it easy for their sellers and customers. Support is great as well. Very responsive.
  19. [R61] Depop 1/5 · US Greedy: Depop charges the buyer for 3 different things meanwhile Vinted only charges a buyer protection fee, AND Depop charges the seller a fee as well but Vinted lets you keep all the money you earn. I’d rather sell and buy off of Vinted.
  20. [R63] Depop 3/5 · US Keeps glitching: At first it worked fine and stuff but now it keeps logging me out and making me sign in every 2 minutes. This keeps happening while im trying to make a listing and when I log back in it doesn’t even save it as a draft so I have to do it all again fast before the app closes again
  21. [R64] Depop 1/5 · US SCAMMING COMPANY: DO NOT SELL ANYTHING ON THIS APP. they let buyers get free stuff with out returns with free refunds and they wont let you do ANYTHING about it the owners of this app dont care about anyone !! thats why the customer service sucks!
  22. [R66] Depop 3/5 · US shipping costs: depop i bought SO MANY clothes i have never spent more on clothing in one week bc i was getting great deals. that was until u took away our free shipping with no warning… due to my faith in the company i will wait to order anything new UNTIL free shipping returns its gotta happen someday until then im js gotta go to vinted or wtv other app
  23. [R35] Poshmark 5/5 · US Love selling with Poshmark!: First time, Poshmark seller! So easy and fun. Love being able to communicate with my customers and create a relationship/report with them. Shipping is so easy and stress-free!
  24. [R70] Depop 2/5 · US BRING BACK FREE SHIPPING!!!: As a seller and buyer on the app, you as a company are making a mistake taking away this feature. it’s boosted sales far more than any other experience on the app and allowing more of a community to come together to shop as a group. So please listen and bring it back!!!!
  25. [R91] Depop 2/5 · US They removed free shipping 💔: I’ve bought well over 100+ items on Depop and even got my mom and aunts using it because of the amazing prices and, honestly, the biggest selling point- the free shipping that was advertised everywhere. I’m genuinely so sad to see that go because it was one of the main reasons I loved shopping here. Now, since you’re buying from multiple individual sellers, it’s not
  26. [R109] Depop 1/5 · US Bad business.: This app just had free shipping until jan 2027 and y’all ended early. Everyone knows people was only buying off the app so much because of that, now y’all sales are just about to drop. When you own a business you stick to your word and don’t switch up just because a log of people are using it. Thats how you lose money and customers and tbh I wont be buying nothing else off the app u
