  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. [R2] Poshmark 5/5 · US AMAZING: This is such a good app idea! I have been wanting to save money but also make money from home. Now I can do both in one single app! I definitely recommend this app so everyone and it’s super simple to use!
  3. [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.
  4. [R14] Poshmark 5/5 · US My love for Poshmark: I love Posh selling on Poshmark because it’s easy. I don’t love all the changes that happen but I do love innovation, creativity, and the opportunity to sell my items with no hassle so for that thank you so much Poshmark! I love selling my items on your platform.
  5. [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
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [R13] Poshmark 1/5 · US Gone from best UX to worst: They keep making the actual app worse and worse. Everything is geared towards live shows and nearly all recommendations are sizes out of my saved sizes. Keep ruining a good thing
  9. [R11] Poshmark 5/5 · US Good place to do business: Overall I am super happy with my selling and buying experiences with Poshmark.
  10. [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.
  11. [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
  12. [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
  13. [R30] Poshmark 3/5 · US Outdated listings: I’m new to Poshmark and I find it difficult to use this platform since there are so many listings that are completely idle for years. Sellers unresponsive with questions/comments from several years ago unanswered. I’ve wasted time trying to communicate with sellers, making offers, and not getting responses because they listed an item 5 years ago and forgot. Idle listings should
  14. [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.
  15. [R7] Poshmark 1/5 · US Used to be a good app: I’ve been a user for close to 10 years - this app used to be so fun to sell but now they took away the 2 day shipping (same price for shipping as before, just snail mail now rather than priority mail) so when you sell something you have to wait 10 days for it to get to its destination and 3 days after delivery for your earnings. And you used to collect more earnings per sale
  16. [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
  17. [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.
  18. [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
  19. [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
  20. [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.
  21. [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
  22. [R36] Poshmark 3/5 · US Easy to list, hard to sell: A saturated platform that sales take a long time. But listing is fairly easy, at least.
  23. [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
  24. [R68] Nordstrom Rack 5/5 · US My go to: Always a good deal
  25. [R77] Nordstrom Rack 5/5 · US Saving: Nordstrom Rack is the perfect place to buy namebrand clothes for less. That’s the real deal when it comes to the clothes and we can trust that your items get to you fast.
  26. [R82] Nordstrom Rack 5/5 · US Good Deals: I always find the BEST deals here. Never disappointed :)
  27. [R90] Nordstrom Rack 5/5 · US Excellent Sales and Prices: Excellent sale and prices!
  28. [R64] Nordstrom Rack 1/5 · US NR sucks balls: Got wrong items and NR charged me for them. Horrible service
  29. [R67] Nordstrom Rack 1/5 · US Wrong items sent: They will send you the wrong size items then refuse to make it right.
  30. [R76] Nordstrom Rack 1/5 · US Item never arrived: This is ridiculous
  31. [R78] Nordstrom Rack 3/5 · US Sold out: The handbag appears as available on the website; however, after adding it to the cart and proceeding to checkout, a notification appears stating that the item is sold out. The status has not changed for several days.
