abstractdreams @twinkletoestoni : Thank you! I was seriously chewed out this morning by a teenager who's been Poshing since Feb. I welcomed her & gave the usual "read the faq & guidelines & share..." spiel & she responded by telling me that she's "not new, is aware of the rules" and "people like you are insulting and incredibly annoying!" She promptly blocked me! Ok then!😳She did start by saying "Thx..." though. Lol!!

I never report newbies that are selling no-no's, I always welcome them, & give them the share/rule info in terms of how it benefits them. I made mistakes when I started & want to give them a heads up first.👍🏽You can bet I went thru her closet & reported every violation!!😜

greekmama1
greekmama1 @abstractdreams Good Morning. I just happened upon your closet. It's lovely. I love this listing. I have been on Posh for about 3-4 months. I love how you did this. I read the one set of prohibited items where it said " No Health and Wellness Products ". After I got in . trouble for selling Wen Conditioner. So in my mind I honestly was thinking vitamins and supplements. They wrote me and sent me to that line.
Aug 07Reply
greekmama1
greekmama1 @abstractdreams Which I thought was vague.I am not a rule breaker at all so I took it down immediately. I love this. So many Poshers are breaking the rules with what they're selling.

Many Posher's won't follow, share or buy from closets that don't follow the guidelines! So it's good for your pocketbook to do so!👍🏽

But reading all this it makes sense why I put it up in the first place. Yes just because I like something doesn't mean I don't know how to press buy if I do want it and no I don't need help. Lol.

yack_21 @abstractdreams thank you for asking, however, some rules I was unaware so the direction given felt cold and "here are our rules" versus "hey! Just in case you didn't know". I comment back with the changes and updates and not so much as a "thanks or just a heads up." If you're going to pass along info and attempt to maintain a happy environment, I believe the delivery should be happy as well.

here4looks77
here4looks77 @katz2 Hi Clara! Good Sunday evening. I don't understand what's going with qualifying your NWT items. Pieces I'm trying to sell that are NWT arent allowed in those parties. And many sellers listing in those parties don't show purchase prices or actual labels! Posh now leaning toward promoting Retail Stores? What ever happened to "selling personal items you no longer wear"? Geez, there are so many vendors on here taking orders for items they don't even have available yet. Thanks Clara!

katz2
katz2 Hi Linda, the Retail is a new category for those who buy wholesale and sell on Posh. It's a totally new category and for a while they allowed NWT at the party, but recently, they stopped it. Guess it's another way to showcase the boutique sellers.

Jan 07Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @poppir : The technical answer is no. But...I don't think PM does anything about it if you do. It will however prevent you from getting support from many in the community (including Host Picks) who won't follow, share or buy from non-compliant closets. Posh has plans to expand the app this yr to include children's clothing & also start a Men's app.👍🏽

bmonska
bmonska @abstractdreams it was my understanding that pm is accepting *it as a form of payment option for the buyer at check out. That's different from when sellers try to get the buyer, or vice versa, to make the whole transaction off posh on *it to avoid fees....
Mar 05Reply
bmonska
bmonska @abstractdreams I think people are getting very confused. Example, if a gal buys a shirt and checks out choosing *it as her funding source, posh gets their fee still and the transaction is supported but going through *it instead posh to avoid paying posh fees is still not allowed. Correct?
Mar 05Reply

cncalabro @abstractdreams Hi Linda, hope you're doing well! I was wondering if you could help clear something up for me? I commented on an upcoming party host's page asking her to check out my closet and others, and she commented back saying she'd love to but my closet isn't posh compliant bc all undergarments, including bras and swim tops must be brand new, not even worn once. I have not and would never sell swim bottoms..
May 29Reply
cncalabro
cncalabro ... or panties that weren't NWT, but I've never heard anything about bras and swim tops?! I thought as long as they're in good condition and everything is clearly written out in the description it was ok. The bras I'm selling have been worn 1-2x and are in excellent condition. I just want to make sure that I'm being posh compliant. Can you please help?
May 29Reply

She was polite though, but I just wish I could find something in writing to show her bc I don't like being told I'm not compliant if I am. (And I agree with you, I think it's weird to sell used bottoms...but if someone wants to buy them than that's their thing!)

I made mistakes back in the day, and I got help from forgiving mentors so I give Posher's the info about violations & I will follow & share compliant items that first time, but not after that. I feel like it's my job to teach/help, not be the Posh Police.👍🏽

the_body_shop @abstractdreams I have a few more questions. There's not a way to not be on wall is it?
Jun 21Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @the_avon_lady : Technically, no. Posh assumes that outside contact between Posers is for the sole purpose of arranging offsite transactions.😕If it's a conversation that someone does not want in their own closet, it is generally done in a listing like this. Or some Posher's communicate in old "sold" listings.

the_body_shop @abstractdreams ok so like my first question. I saw comments on no perfume allergies and such. I was gonna cut a small part of dryer sheet to set in it. Is that bad too? Also I always give my Avon customers a free gift. Planned on it. That ok? And is it ok to but a Avon book. And business card the the box. Btw I'm so glad you found my closet. I'm so thankful for your help. No I don't mind it in open. I'm just shy. It's like talking Infront of people.

abstractdreams @the_avon_lady : Don't be shy hon. I'm one of those ppl who approach everyone like we've known each other forever!👍🏽I include gifts in every pkg. Small bags of candies, Poshmark Poshaholic pencils I had made years ago, Sephora samples...stuff like that. Here's the thing about scents: I have Lupus & I'm very sensitive to perfumes. Many ppl with migraines are the same way. I've read more...

abstractdreams
abstractdreams ...more complaints about smells (perfumes, smoke, animals, and others) than ppl being excited or happy to be on the receiving end. If you included little Avon samples, that's perfectly fine, and I think including your business card & a catalog is too! But...there are always (always!) those ppl that you just cannot please who will complain!👎🏽

Jun 21Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @the_avon_lady : I don't, for a couple reasons. First, if I'm sharing using the button at the top right, I accidentally "bundle" things all the time. And second, many ppl are checking yo get an estimate of their spending & the discount. "Let me know if you'd like a bundle" is leftover from prior to the auto-bundle feature, which is pretty recent.👍🏽

abstractdreams @the_avon_lady : The shipping promo is guaranteed to be reduced shipping but not one guaranteed shipping price, it's random ($1.99 - $4.99). If you worked it out, good! I've put as many as 10-12 items in a bundle with one label.

the_body_shop @abstractdreams I understand that. I can fix to be no shipping. But I'm not sure how the $6 added item to the $10 that she already checked out with can be one item and not to different under than $15 posh fees.

chicknthesticks @abstractdreams Do you know you were my inspiration for my own no-no list? I had forgotten where I saw this, and didn't give you credit. I will now☺ I think maybe I'll make a one of Brenda's mantra, "Each One Teach One." I don't think I'm as tactful as you, because I got myself blocked once back when I was just starting to welcome new Poshers. I might be able to say it better in a graphic. I'll try hard to not sound like the Posh Police this time 😕
Jul 06Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @chicknthesticks : Thank you! Actually, Brenda is who I try to model after. She helped me turn things around back in 2012. I adore her Q-tips & "Each One Teach One" is a motto I try to apply in life as well as Posh. I don't enjoy being the Posh Police either, but I sure can police myself! I'm not as militant & unforgiving as many here. I report, but I give Poshers the 411 & follow & share (I may even buy) from those closets. I think it's PM's responsibility to police the site, not ours!
Jul 06Reply
chicknthesticks
chicknthesticks @abstractdreams I love to teach; I was an instructor in the Navy for several years, and really enjoyed it. I'd much rather help a new Posher than ignore and report them, but I think age has made me less tactful and diplomatic than I was. How do you tell a new Posher she has unsupported items? I'm always afraid they'll get defensive and block me. It happened once, even though I thought I was polite and helpful. Her first response was "Everyone else is doing it, why are you singling me out?
Jul 06Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @chicknthesticks : Speaking of age, it has made me less patient & I wasn't all that patient when I was younger!! Lol! I usually relate following Posh guidelines to their own bottom line.💰I tell them (after I've shared their items) that most Poshers will not support them & won't follow, share or "most importantly...buy" from non-compliant closets. I offer to help/answer ?'s. If they block - I do not care!😳👍🏽
Jul 06Reply
chicknthesticks
chicknthesticks @abstractdreams I agree that it's Posh's job, not ours, to police their site. They're getting paid to do it, we aren't. Sometimes I resent the way they just assume we'll submit reports, especially when it's on the same thing in the same closet for over a year. I don't know why they can't have key words that stop an item before it's ever listed, like "ounces" or "oz," "swatched" or "tested," etc. I even made the suggestion, but the response was something like "We've got it under control."

abstractdreams @closet_finds I agree! I asked one of the sellers, who was also a SU. She informed me she had asked Posh Support first & after I asked, she posted the email. So, I emailed & was told NO the first time & yes after sending them screenshot of her email! I included the emails in my listings. "Books" still aren't allowed, not even kids books! Seems like one policy across the board would be more fair/appropriate!👍🏽Happy Sunday!

bantonboutique @abstractdreams any tips on selling higher priced items?? I have some listings that are priced 60% off, but still well over $500!
May 20Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @bantonboutique : Sharing to Parties for those brands will be critical. Many Poshers only shop Parties, since they're brand/designer specific. Detailed titles/descriptions help too since Posh algorithms catch key words from both when shoppers search for items without a brand/designer. Posh is cyclical, there are busier/slower times.

abstractdreams @mama__glam : You're very welcome Rae! I the 5 yrs I've been here, it occurred to me that very few new Poshers take the time to read (or even know about) the Guidelines, so I thought I'd breakdown the basics into quick, simple bits! 👍🏼❣

boymommaresells @abstractdreams 1 question I have is why do some here have option to buy now with PAyP, what is that about?
Jun 20Reply
abstractdreams
abstractdreams @mama__glam : I'm a Suggested User, and we get a newsletter about new updates. To my knowledge that is NOT an option allowed by Poshmark. There are many who do advertise that they have "lower prices/free shipping" on other apps. But once Posh notices, they can & do shut down those closets.

abstractdreams @mama__glam : In a recent update Posh has added the ability for a buyer to PAY with 🅿️🅿️ But that's it.

love_buzzz I just want to thank you for all of your informative postings! It is truly helpful for newer Poshers, such as myself :) I still have many items to list and a lot to learn here. Upon opening my account, I very carefully read through the Posh regulations. I appreciate your references that neatly summarize everything. I have noticed many closets that are not compliant. I want to avoid making those mistakes. I do have a question, but having trouble posting it here...

love_buzzz When I joined, p. p. was a payment option. I noticed that some sellers here do not accept it. Are there additional fees (for the seller) associated with using it? I thought that the seller gets a flat fee of 20% regardless of payment method. I tend to use that (whenever I can) so as to avoid inputting my c c / bank everywhere online. Just curious why so many avoid it on Posh, and wondering about my pay ment options as a seller :)

abstractdreams @fun_family : I apologize, I lost power yesterday so was trying to save my battery & not Poshing. 🅿️🅿️ is ONLY allowed as a payment method THRU Posh. Poshers who say they "don't accept it" mean they don't do any transactions off Posh - which is not allowed. Lmk if I can help in the future!!👍🏼❣

abstractdreams @melissacrump : Thx! I appreciate it.❣Actually, Posh adds likes/bundles to "dressing room" automatically. Someone can send you something to "style" you, but your dressing room is really just set up by you. I don't know how I feel about it, but I LOVE the ability to send a private offer!👍🏼

abstractdreams @fun_family Thank you again Barbara! That's very kind!💋I have to apologize again for the delay! My dad had a heart attack recently & Dr's think it's too risky to do surgery. He's 83 & worked every day, so I convinced my folks to have a big barn sale to help with taxes & put $ aside in case he's laid up 4 awhile. Lots of ppl contributing items, I'm pulling tons out of my Posh closet!

abstractdreams @fun_family I was making another run today & unloading my car when my foot got caught on some old wire junk on the ground right in front of the DOOR!! I may have blown my good knee out!! Too early to tell! I'm generally more responsive when responding! I'm happy to help, whenever you need it!! I think I told you, it's my favorite thing about Posh! If I sell something that's just gravy!😂

love_buzzz @abstractdreams Sounds as though you have health problems too (bad knee). Sending you well wishes also! I have Lupus. Was dx 20 years ago, and still recovering from a mini-stroke I had a few years ago. Good and bad days but I'm grateful for the recovery I've managed to make thus far. My children and hubby keep me going :)

love_buzzz @abstractdreams 💜 I noticed that you have Fibro. We share a lot in common there (my Lupus). I make Lupus / Fibro (and Autism) memory lockets using NOS vintage gemstones and Swarovski crystals. I'll let you know when I list them here. I donate a lot to families impacted. I just made a lot for a friend's family (she now has kidney disease from the Lupus) so I'm giving my hands and eyes a little rest, lol but will get to making more very soon 💜 HUGS 💜

ixy_r Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge!! I wish I had read this prior to my first purchase!!! I just started this month! Purchased a pair of shoes & an offer was accepted from the same seller right after I made my purchase. The seller advised me to pay outside of Posh

ixy_r
ixy_r to save the extra shipping charges and I did just that (not knowing that it wasn't allowed!) Now the items are not as described and there's nothing I can do :/ I truly wish more "seasoned" poshers were as honest and kind as you for wanting to make sure all newbies are informed :)

groovychick4u
groovychick4u Good morning! I just want to say thank you for being such an awesome mentor to so many and you are soooo appreciated!! I'm fairly new to Posh and have slowly been learning as I go. I was wondering a couple of things. 1) I got one host pick a few months ago but nothing since. I'm not sure what I could do differently. How do the Hosts pick?! I have been trying to share as much as possible, add new items regularly, share during parties of course. Any thoughts?
Sep 01Reply
groovychick4u
groovychick4u And 2) if I report an item is that anonymous? There really are a ton of Poshers selling so many prohibited items. I was one of them too when I first started! I never say anything to the newbies just encourage them and tell them about being compliant. But there are some who are not newbies still selling stuff! Thanks for your input. I'm all ears!! ❤️

abstractdreams
abstractdreams @groovychick4u Thx for the kind words! I appreciate it as mentoring is my fave part of Posh!💋You have a great closet! First, reporting is confidential! If you see anything really alarming, take screen shots & email PM Support (they love screen shots)! U can tell you that the more Hosts you follow/share, the more HP's you're likely to get! You certainly warrant more!👍🏼Lmk if you have any more ?'s!❣

abstractdreams @tipsymoon : Welcome Lucille!❣Basically everyone 'can see' your closet but the more you share, or others share for you, the more eyes on your items! LOTS of followers help too since that's who sees your items. Clear, well lit cover shots/photos, detailed descriptions & timely responses to questions/comments will are also important!

bjt41157 Thanks for taking the time to create this helpful listing! I've been on Poshmark for five months and I'm still learning. It's frustrating when I start sharing items from a closet only to discover it's filled with prohibited items, but I've never reported any of those. Wish I could "unshare". Another thing that bugs me is misspelled words in listings.... but that's a whole other story :/

abstractdreams @goldenpolkadot I did notice the name change & realized by items/pink army girl cartoon that it was you! I’m happy that you’re feeling up to Poshing!💕My name change went fairly smoothly. I didn’t loose followers, that I’m aware of. But I’ve had ppl say “There You Are!’ So I kept the notice high up in my closet for a couple years, just in case. I’ll be sure to tag you if I see other name changes. But I’m not really feeling well this Winter.👎🏼I check in often, but not much more.

I did have perfume for sale at one point and it was removed which enticed me to read the rules thoroughly. Now i also report people, especially for replicas! I believe my closet is now compliant. Do you mind taking a peek and letting me know? Also I sent you a listing I often send people, do you think I should stop? Thanks dear. 😊🛍
