@_the_rack I made one! Ive been seeing them more & more. Time to start doing this before I have a headache!
discodaydreamer
I hate that this is happening!! Did you make these images or can I borrow?
allyoop23
@ladydiscofinger I made them but you can definitely use them. Yes it is such an annoyance. Thank goodness I havent had scammers yet but I've heard of some others that had a real headache.
lammysloft
😮 Woh! Can you give a description of the type of fraud you’ve seen??
allyoop23
@lamercurio the most common Ive heard about is ppl who use fake photos to claim a return & get your item for free. But the scammers are always changing up their methods when they get caught. I just look out for really low offers, weird questions or ppl who haven't been on here very long yet. Sometimes they're fake accts. This recording warning seems to deter them though.
_the_rack
@allyoop23 loooooove it 💕 sooo perfect and super cute 😉
lammysloft
@allyoop23 Wow! Like fake photos showing the product damaged, to get their refund approved??
allyoop23
@lamercurio Yea 😳
allyoop23
@_the_rack thanks! I put it together from a few different ideas I saw in closets, including yours!
lammysloft
@allyoop23 Wow. Thanks so much for the heads-up!! I’ll think about borrowing that listing from you....💞💗💓
allyoop23
@lamercurio sure you can borrow it. Better safe than sorry
lammysloft
@allyoop23 Thank you!!🌹🌺
shopsamarasky
Thanks for the warning!
femme_ribelle
I’d like to borrow too! Hope you don’t mind 💗
angidabartender
@allyoop23 SERIOUSLY?!?!?! I had no idea?!?! I’m pretty never but have sold on eBay for almost 20 years. May I use one of your images as well? Or tell me where to get one. Omg!!! This is VERY discouraging!!!’ I did run across one posh acct that had their email and phone number selling “LV” and would only sell off posh. And yes, I reported that.
allyoop23
@femme_ribelle Sure you're welcome to borrow! I hope it gives you some peace of mind to put those scammers on NOTICE!
allyoop23
@angidabartender Hi Angi! Yes you may use my images :) This isn't meant to alarm or discourage at all. I've been selling on here since 2013 w/o any major problems. I've known others who started this practice long ago but didn't feel it was necessary until recently. It only takes a few extra mins to make a recording & its well worth the effort. Gives you peace of mind - and it makes sure that you THOROUGHLY check your items before sending, so it's a protection to the buyer too! win/win! :)
femme_ribelle
I hope!
angidabartender
@allyoop23 thank you for the info. I have to admit, it did make me panic a little. 😁
jacknjoes_depot
Definitely something I’m thinking of doing myself. I’ve actually had someone try to screw me over with one of my products. But my pictures and description were very clear and the buyer’s photos were VERY questionable; so much so that even posh requested more information/photos from them. In the end it worked out, thankfully. Definitely need to be careful. While I’m still a smaller account I also make sure to check the accounts of anyone who purchases from me.
allyoop23
@angidabartender @rossitsold
It's not like this happens often & most scammers don't get away with it when they try. However, it's just not worth the headache. So if this keeps scammers from even trying, I save myself going through the hassle trying to refute a claim.
jacknjoes_depot
@allyoop23 💯
outreachlove
I'd love to use your images too if you don't mind. Since getting burned once I've started videoing as I package. I've wanted to post something like this but I'm not very creative. Lol. Your images are great!
allyoop23
@outreachlove Oh! Thank you! And you're welcome to use them! So sorry to hear you got burned! 😡😢
outreachlove
@allyoop23 thank you! Happy Poshing for us all from here on! ❤
allyoop23
@outreachlove ditto to that! 💗
tln_shop
@allyoop23 Hello, I just got scammed again, which is so disheartening. However, I should thank her because I will be recording each and every transaction. May I use this image?
allyoop23
@thriftynest Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! Yes you can use it. These are the kind of experiences that made me decide to start recording my sales. Ive been seelling since 2013 w/o a scammer damaging my items but I want to avoid the hassle. Too many stories like this
tln_shop
@allyoop23 Thank you so much! There has only been 2 that have successfully scammed me, but both happened less than 1 month apart and on items that sold for $100 or more. Another tried to scam me last year, but I actually video recorded it all because the buyer's behavior was very odd. I should have learned after the first one especially since there has been a large spike in scamming attempts, but I have such a positive view on poshers that I overlooked the last one. Lesson learned :)
allyoop23
@thriftynest I'm glad you had the video for one of them. Well, here's a new one - just had a buyer claim that an item I sent smelled like smoke. BUT that's impossible. I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke, my husband has asthma and neither of us has ever smoked. We live in a SMOKE FREE community where it's a violation of our lease to smoke anywhere on property so even our guests never smoke in our home.
allyoop23
@thriftynest but there isn't really a way to prove what something smells like by video. thankfully the buyer still accepted the item and rated it four stars? Just weird. If I got an item that truly smelled smoky and wasn't stated in the description, I would not accept it. I would do a return case. Why accept just to write in the review it smelled like smoke, but still rate it 4/5 stars? hmmm....at least I dont have to defend a return for it.
tln_shop
@allyoop23 I figured that this would be another scam since they are aware that orders are being recorded. I don't smoke or have any pets due to my allergies nor do I have anyone every do so in my home. Please let me know how this goes for you. If all else fails and they grant the buyer a return, open up a problem with return immediately (like within 24 hours). Another option would be to message the ceo of poshmark on twitter and put #poshmarkscammer to help.
tln_shop
@allyoop23 Great! I didn't see the second half of your message until after I sent my last reply. I am so relieved that you don't have to go through that process.
vtg_bohemian
This is Great! 🤜🤛
vtg_bohemian
I would love to borrow this if it’s ok with you! I saw in previous Comments you told others to go ahead that you didn’t mind but, I just wanted to make sure that’s still ok!
I’ve had the whole “Scam Routine” happen to me 1 x Time! And after that I take photos of everything! Lesson learned quickly!
allyoop23
@thriftynest me too! I'll keep that hashtag & twitter in mind for the future though. I think Posh takes scams seriously and they will shut down an account if a scammer is caught. But we have to report it & keep doing our part to protect ourselves. Posh can only do so much
allyoop23
@beastmodeposhin thanks 💜 I cant take credit for the idea. Ive seen this policy in other closets. Decided to start doing this too. Of course now scammers want to start claiming something smells like smoke
allyoop23
@beastmodeposhin Absolutely you can use it! If it helps deter even one scam it's worth it not to have that hassle. I'm sorry to hear you've had one 😒 Thank you for asking - feel free to use them!
allyoop23
@beastmodeposhin btw I LOVE your closet style! 💕💕💕 You have some great hard to find items that are right on trend! I'll be back to share again!
vtg_bohemian
@allyoop23
Lol! I’ve heard that 1 x Time about cigarette smoke when I first started selling on Posh. An I DO NOT even Smoke. Funny thing is another Posher was having that problem continuously w/ her packages for like 3 weeks of shipments & Come to Find our her Postal delivery guy who was picking up her packages from her house was smoking near truck. Long story short that postal employee got in A LOT OF TROUBLE!!.. but, things do happen so it’s better to be Safe than Sorry! 😉

@allyoop23
Thank You So Much for the Compliment on my Closet! Your So Sweet! I recently just started getting my New Inventory Up. I still have a long way to go getting all these Death 💀 Pules Listed, Lol! But, slowly but surely I will get everything up and Listed! I will be back as well to Share your Items As Well! Posh 💛✌️🤜🤛
allyoop23
@beastmodeposhin Oh wow I never even thought of that! The postal carrier!?! 😱😨😫 😠🚬 You'll get them listed! It's always a scramble to get new inventory up & sharing! But when it starts to sell, it's all worth it! 😉💰

@allyoop23 👍
sparklessoboutq
Wow....some of these comments telling their experiences is an eye opener!! I will be posting something similar too. Just to cover our a$$. We all work hard on here and my goal is to eventually make this my fulltime job. We started just offering Boutique or NWT for this reason. Thanks for sharing this!! 💕Sherry
allyoop23
@lindachris 😘 Thanks! Your closet was one of the ones I saw with this warning and decided it's time I do this too!
allyoop23
@sparklessoboutq Hi Sherry! You're welcome to use my photos if you'd like 😊 Its a shame people have to spoil it for others. Really, I don't think these experiences happen often enough to be worried 😟 But some caution goes a long way to avoid headaches. It really only takes a few extra mins to record & have peace of mind 👍It benefits the buyer too. It ensures u thoroughly check the item & pack carefully. If u happened to overlook a flaw, you'll catch it on your inspection 😉
mack_eye
I love your photos and posts... may I borrow?
allyoop23
@mack_eye Yes you can use them 😊 Thanks for asking!
lindachris
@allyoop23 I’m glad you did. It’s a great picture. Please make sure that when someone borrows your slide you get the “photo credit”.
See my slides to see how I gave the credit to any borrowed slides. You deserve it. 💞
allyoop23
@lindachris oh thanks! I see you did that ashjesh. that's really sweet of you :) I just appreciate when they at least ask permission. I'll ask for a credit next time :)
lindachris
@allyoop23 I think I remember someone telling me it’s a posh rule. Ask permission first. Then give photo credit. 😊
nurse2425
I need to start doing this...I’ve had a wave of scammers recently purchasing and then either damaging my items or questioning authenticity and keeping the item. I’ve never had this happen to me in the seven years I’ve been on posh except for the past month.
allyoop23
@nurse2425 Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that's happened to you. Well, the more popular the app gets, it's going to attract more people - unfortunately some of those people are scammers. Dishonesty is such a shame. I find that doing this does make it take longer to pack orders, but its worth the peace of mind & lack of headaches.
allyoop23
@nurse2425 It's a shame they damaged your items. There's no reason for that. From the stories I've heard like yours, it seems the scams target high priced items or they're looking for a way to return something that doesn't fit since Posh doesn't approve returns for fit issues. It's so wrong to damage someon'es item for that though. Just totally dishonest. I haven't had an item damaged like hat yet and I'm hoping that doing this will keep that from happening.
allyoop23
@bcsisters You absolutely can use them! Im happy to do my little part to help slow down these scams! 🚫🆘
my3doves
@allyoop23 so many comments here but may I also use your photos? I have had a few ppl ask me to contact them via their other email address not through poshmark and I responded back that I would only respond through PM then they disappeared from the site have you heard of that?
allyoop23
@my3doves Sure you can use them! And yes, Ive heard of that. It's likely they tried the same in other closets and were reported so Posh shut down their account when they caught them. Or they were scammers who pop up, hit a few closets & close the account to open another under a different name before they get caught. You did the right thing though. No outside Posh business is permitted. You can report them if that happens again. Do you know how to do that?
my3doves
@allyoop23 no I dont?
allyoop23
@my3doves Ok. Theres a little flag next to each comment. If someone asks you to email, click the flag on their comment. It will give you options for reporting and one is "Transaction Off Poshmark"
my3doves
@allyoop23 thank you so much
allyoop23
@my3doves you're welcome!
sampaguita48
Would it be ok if I were to use this image for my closet? I, too, have started to photograph and video my packages before sending, just in case.
allyoop23
@sampaguita48 Yes you can use it. Im happy to see more & more are starting to do this. Maybe it will stop the scammers if protect ourselves and make it too hard for them 😉
lynz1379
Wow! I didn’t know any of this as I am one month in! So happy to have read this as I was going thru your closet! ok I if I use your pics of recording part? Def going to start doing!
allyoop23
@lynz1379 Yes you can use it. It's a good practice. Makes sure you do a final thorough check of the item so it is as described & also proves you sent it in that condition. So it's a win for you & the buyer!
ghutslar
I've started doing this, also. Lost a beautiful jacket due to a buyer damaging it after purchase. They claimed it was torn when it arrived. Returned it with a tear so large a blind man would have seen it. I was appalled that someone would do this to get out of a sale!
allyoop23
@ghutslar oh! I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you! people are unfortunately becoming so dishonest and trying to find ways around Posh's return policy even if it means damaging items.
lauraruiz129
Can I borrow this please. I'm new to this and I want to be prepared. and thanks for this advice
darlingdutdut
This is was scares me most about selling. People who are dishonest and awful!
allyoop23
@lauraruiz129 Sure you can use it!
allyoop23
@darlingdutdut Yes, its the ugly side of selling, but in reality, I haven't had a bad experience yet and I've been selling since 2013 and I'd like to keep it that way. Better safe than sorry. This is a good caution to take that seems to deter scammers.
darlingdutdut
@allyoop23 thank you for providing this for those who don’t have the pictures to make a post like this. Honestly, it’s nice to hear you haven’t had a bad experience. It makes me so worried and cautious. Anyways, thank you again.
allyoop23
@darlingdutdut You're very welcome! 💞 If its helps someone else avoid a hassle/headache, I'm happy to share!

@allyoop23 I am new to Posh mark and saw this and thought it is a great idea to start doing to keep me safe. It just feels like people will try anything to not pay or get something for free.

mylilcloset
Great post! 🎯Been selling since 2014 on Posh and it's sad this still goes on. Every seller needs this on their page.
allyoop23
@mylilcloset It is a shame 😔 Its happened to me on every selling site not just here. Too many people are out to get something free or they damage something to return it just because it doesnt for and the return policy doesnt allow returns for that
allyoop23
@mylilcloset Ive beeb on here since about 2013/2014 too as a buyer and seller. Peoples dishonesty just baffles me. I agree every seller needs this post & this practice to protect themselves from headaches & frauds
mylilcloset
@allyoop23 So true! I just am suprised that there have not been safegards in place by Posh by now. It should not be an issue for veteran sellers such as ourselves. Filming can be helpful..but even that is subjective when it comes to the customer's version. I have been burned several times..here and other sites. But I still hold on to the fact that people are inherently good.
allyoop23
@mylilcloset that's a great attitude! I feel like the listing seems to deter scammers from even trying so most of the time, the recordings dont need to be used. But it helps to have them 😉
femme_ribelle
Has this been working out? Any returns?
yourclosetcrush
@allyoop23 Hi Ally, this is a great listing. Could I please have your permission to copy and use in my closet. I’ve heard horrible stories about scammers and feel the more proactive we are to have something like this in all of our closets it could help prevent being scammed.
allyoop23
@yourclosetcrush yes you can use it
yourclosetcrush
@allyoop23 Thank you so much ❤️
aconciouscloset
thank you for posting this! joining in the last week has taught me alot and i'm so thankful for posts like this. I JUST had this conversation with my husband - that everything will be recorded (to protect myself) incase people try to be dishonest. It's sad that this even needs to be said, but thank you for "listing" this! it makes me comfortable to know there are many good poshers out there and not just a few trying to take advantage! thank you so much for the tips! happy poshing 😊
allyoop23
@mommasellsstuff you're very welcome and thank YOU for stopping by! Yes, Posh is mostly good, hard-working & good natured sellers with an unfortunate handful of ones who try to fraud and scheme. I havent had many issues yet this may help to keep the drama out of mt closet 😁 Youre welcome to use it in your closet as well if you'd like!
lammysloft
Hi Ally! I just listed a pricey item and I’m thinking about scammers. I know you’ve got lots of experience! I imagine USPS (not so reliable lately) dropping off a package, and the purchaser saying they never received it. Then they get it FREE! Any ideas on how to prevent that? I’m going to ask Poshmark if they can send with signature required.
allyoop23
@lammysloft I see your card game! Posh has an "authentication" process for high end expensive items which may have more shipping options to avoid fraud. I'm only familiar the Priority USPS labels we get for buyers. They have a tracking # & if the buyer claims an item isn't delivered, Posh will open an investigation with the post office for a "lost item."
allyoop23
@lammysloft The insurance would have to be more on a higher $ item too so that its covered if lost/stolen/undelivered. They may still get the item for free if they can fool the post office that it wasn't delivered but the insurance covers it so it shouldn't affect your payment. I would definitely discuss shipping insurance & tracking with Posh for a list of all your options.
lammysloft
@allyoop23 😃 I KNEW you’d be the one to ask! Lol... yes that card game plus I just listed another one: Nolan Ryan card. I’ll put it at the front of my closet so you can check it out. It’s fun to realize that some of the stuff I’ve collected is quite valuable! I would like to think that the recording of the packaging plus registered mail plus a return receipt should do the trick. I’ll send Posh a note and will let you know their response. THANK YOU!!! 💗💓💞
allyoop23
@lammysloft Yes! You've got quite the unique vintage collection of rare items!
lammysloft
@allyoop23 I’m just leaning that! I was always a collector, but it’s time to downsize. It is fun discovering what I have!
lammysloft
Sharing what I've learned about listings over $500. Part 1 of 3 - For all orders $500+, the item is first shipped directly to our headquarters to be inspected by our Posh Authentication team. We believe our Posh Authenticate service will offer great benefits and protection to both our buyers and sellers.
lammysloft
Part 2 of 3 - As the seller, you can feel comfortable knowing that your high value sale will be reviewed and noted for its condition before being sent to the buyer to avoid returns. This also minimizes any discrepancies over what was sent or other issues that may arise. Although this process may slightly prolong the shipping time, we feel that the added protection is well worth it.
lammysloft
Part 3 of 3 -All items shipped with our Poshmark label will be covered by our Posh Protect policy. Any single item sold for $300 or more will be shipped with a certified shipping label that requires a signature upon delivery.
You can find out more about Posh Protect here: https://poshmark.com/posh_protect
allyoop23
@lammysloft fantastic! Thank you for sharing! 😁I knew Posh had an authentication program but couldn’t think of what it was called or all these details like the minimum price to qualify or the protection benefits for both the seller and buyer. Thanks again for sharing! I’m sure this reference will help the next posher who has questions! 👍🏻
allyoop23
@lammysloft im sure you’re feeling a lot better about those items now! 🙃
lammysloft
@allyoop23 I’m happy to share and yes, I do feel much better now!
rosmassre
I was just scammed as well. Buyer purchased a brand new handbag from me and opened a case to return it. Said it wasn’t the same. I got the box returned filled with paper only. No handbag. Poshmark did not rule in my favor. I have been so upset. I sent them pictures of the box and what was in it. I am going to start recording my sales now. Thanks for the good idea.
cyla_and_rose
@allyoop23 hello, I just started actively selling here on Poshmark and one of my very first buyers did this to me and Poshmark ruled in their favor. I was thinking of doing this before I saw this. You luckily happened to share one of my items and I visited your site! If you don’t mind, I would be very grateful if I could use these on my site! Thank you so much and I wish you much success ❤️🧿🍀🧲
cyla_and_rose
@allyoop23 dear Ally, I just had this happen and I’d you don’t mind, I want use your image/wording. I will give you credit if you don’t mind... please let me know.
3italiansisters
This is great--Would love to borrow this. I record everything as well! 💗
allyoop23
@rosmassre I’m so sorry to hear Posh didn’t rule in your favor! Scammers seem to have picked up again 🤔 I hope this practice helps you!
allyoop23
@cyla_and_rose hello! So sorry to hear you had such a bad experience on one of your first sales! 😣 Yes you absolutely can use this! 👍🏻 I hope this will help you avoid future headaches. Usually this is not such a problem but scammers seem to be popping up again. Hopefully this will help you avoid the headache in the future!
rosmassre
@allyoop23 , I almost took down all my listing as I feel if Poshmark doesn’t have your back and stand by the sellers then what good is it to use them? It’s only good for items over $500.
Can you please explain to me exactly how you are recording the item? Do you record it being put in the box and label put on? I feel like a scammer can say that was only for you but maybe you sent out another box with same shipping label. In the meantime, I’ve lost $155.00 sale
rosmassre
@allyoop23 , thank you for letting us all use this. Maybe we can stop this high increase in scammers!
allyoop23
@rosmassre That is frustrating! Sellers take a risk too just like buyers. I take my videos/photos just like you described. I get images of the item’s condition before and during wrapping and packaging, record putting it in the box/shipping bag with the label on it
printandpattern
@allyoop23 thank you so much for creating this! I’m new to Poshmark and didn’t know this could be an issue. Would it be okay if I reposted this to my account? Thanks again :)
blingyourworld
Would like to ask if I could use this image for my site? would be so appreciative. Have had a few really wierd squirrely things happen lately with people buying being brand new so just going to start recording everything.
