Please ask before using my photos without my permission. That's an infringement & Poshmark will uphold that no one should be using other people's photos, esp without their permission first. I spend a long time listing/photographing each item I have, and although you may have the same item I have, I cannot attest to what you're selling by you using my photos. I am very popular on here & will not be responsible for that. It is common courtesy not to copy someone's photos anyway. Please ASK first!

amrowe28 How do you copyright your pictures? I hope that isn't a stupid question but I've had girls use my photos and then people accuse me of not having the items!! So frustrating!!

Mar 01Reply

mloest @amrowe28 well, one way is to contact Poshmark. Another is to make a listing like I did notifying "the public" (Poshmark users) that my photos are private, meaning no one can just use them legally. I had an issue several times where people would resell items bc they didn't check to make sure what they were buying fit right, so they'd resell it without asking me to use my photos. I cannot guarantee or attest to what some other person is selling. It could be a duplicate item, a knock off, damaged, etc and who's to say that what MY photos are displaying is accurately being represented? So I contacted Poshmark and they will back you 100% if that ever happens to you. They told me to create a listing basically telling people not to steal your photos without at least asking. It worked so far!

khults46 Unless you can do a bundle for $100 & I will get both

Apr 13Reply

khults46 I have searched for your items & can't find you lol

Apr 13Reply

mloest @khults46 if you search Miss Me, you'll see my photos in the listings. You can also search me by name. I have the same listings as I have on here

Apr 14Reply

khults46 Ok I'll try finding you by name..

Apr 14Reply

khults46 Idk, I have searched for your listing for almost a hour lol & I don't find them.. It's ok.. No worries

Apr 14Reply

mloest @khults46 ok. I figured out a tried and true way to find me. Search "acid wash miss me shorts." Only two will pop up. Mine will be the available one on the left. Then click my name once you open the listing up. Hallelujah!

Apr 14Reply

khults46 Ok I will try that. Thank you 👍🏻😊

Apr 14Reply

mloest @alise28 I was given permission through Poshmark to post this. Every photo posted on here by someone is private and cannot be duplicated by someone else.

May 24Reply

mloest @ayankoya Poshmark does not allow one to take someone else's photos, esp without asking them. I'll give you the opportunity to remove every one you've taken from my closet before letting Poshmark know.

May 26Reply

walkinmyshoes Hope you got your issue resolved. I'm dealing with a similar issue but the Posher is using them on her IG account. So frustrating. @mloest

Nov 09Reply

sme75000 Hi! I saw that you liked many items in my closet. I can offer a great discount if you bundle the ones you want to purchase.

Jul 01Reply

mloest @crystalbliss12 I know right! I always ask before I ever use someone else’s photos, but I think I have only done that one or two times? I know when it happened to me, Poshmark took down the persons’ listing, but I don’t know if that’s still a rule or not. I think it is, so that might help you out if you want to contact them, I would bc that’s so rude!!

May 04Reply

mystyleshoppe This just happened to me! Sold an item she didn’t even review it. She relished it higher price with my photos. Thanks for the information. ❤️

Jul 14Reply

mloest @rgstyleshop I learned the hard way! I’m not trying to be a butt about it but I also don’t want to be held responsible if someone resells my item that didn’t fit, or maybe they have the same thing I do and then the person thinks it fits like how I’m wearing it, looks the same, or overall is the same item and it may be damaged or stained, etc.

Jul 14Reply

mloest @rgstyleshop I had someone come to me when they bought something off of someone else using my photos and that’s how I learned about this, I actually spoke to support and the info I posted is 100% accurate! The buyer tried to blame me for not receiving her item properly bc the other seller used my photos! It was awful! I was so mad!

Jul 14Reply

mloest @rgstyleshop Luckily the buyer understood it wasn’t me that did that to her, and held the seller responsible! And I think Poshmark booted her bc of her using my photos for the sale of a misrepresented item! Luckily that’s over and I posted this....and then I learned of other peoples interactions! I really hope this helps people!

Jul 14Reply

mystyleshoppe @mloest Thank you for replying back to me. I understand they can rePosh the item. I think what upsets me is you take the time to photograph your items and they use your photos to relish the item. I will be contacting Poshmark. Thank you!

Jul 14Reply

mloest @rgstyleshop other than from websites, I’ll use those photos but if I specifically find an item on here that isn’t sold (sometimes if it’s a generic item from a sold listing, I’ll use the old manufacturers photos, as long as I know it’s not private photos).

Jul 14Reply

mloest @rgstyleshop I’ll create a bundle and ask the posher (95% of the time) if I could use their photos in private. I don’t usually post it on the messages section bc I might come across as a spammer, but I almost always get permission unless it’s for a manufacturers photo that I couldn’t find myself otherwise!

Jul 14Reply

cassism21 Hi there! I'm having the same issue with a seller who is using some of my pictures in her listing.

Sep 13Reply

mloest @cassism21 I’m sorry! Did you talk to her about it so she can remove it? Or did you report her to Poshmark support? I had to report the seller who didn’t ask for permission on mine too, and they made her take it down immediately. If someone asks, I’ll usually let them do it, but if they don’t, I get super mad!

Sep 13Reply

ffl314 I recently noticed another seller used my photos of my bag that I’m selling in her own listing. I reported to poshmark on Thursday and have not heard back. I emailed poshmark again this morning because her listing is still up with my photos. I’m surprised poshmark is not responding and I’m wondering if you have any recommendations of what I can do. I did not think poshmark allowed people to do that and I think it’s deceiving to her potential buyers.

Sep 22Reply

mloest @ffl314 hello and thanks for reaching out! I’ve had this happen to me quite a few times. Have you reached out to the seller? You can make it private if you’d like by creating a bundle using the listing of the item and you could explain to her the concerns. The problem I have with it is that most items aren’t the exact same, even if they’re the same thing.

Sep 23Reply

mloest @ffl314 Condition and look will always vary, so you’re right, it’s misleading and the buyer will come after you as well, if they’re unsatisfied. It puts unnecessary liability on you. That’s why I always ask to use someone’s photos, which is very rare anyway. Poshmark does not support the use of other people’s photos for many reasons.

Sep 23Reply

mloest @ffl314 Usually they take forever to reply to a concern, which is why I suggested contacting her first to try and talk it out (if you think it’s possible to do so). They should respond within a few business days. You’re not alone, it really sucks and I hope it gets resolved in your favor soon!

Sep 23Reply

careful_carol @mloest l’ve not tried it, but l’ve been told to post on Twitter if Poshmark does not respond to your problem. They must follow it, as l’ve been told it gets a response.

Sep 23Reply

mloest @careful_carol oh wow, so if you post an issue on Twitter, posh will respond to it sooner?

Sep 23Reply

careful_carol @mloest All l know is that l was told it gets attention. Have not tried it, am not on Twitter. You can look if you are. Good luck!

Sep 23Reply

ffl314 @mloest hi thank you for explaining all of this. I did ask her to please use her own photos under her listing since I didn’t give her permission to use mine. But she did not respond to me :/ Poshmark finally got back to my report (took 5 days) and it looks like they deleted her listing. I found it frustrating because it took them so long to even respond that they were looking into it. But I’m glad they finally did take careful of it. Thank you again for your help/explanation 😊

Sep 24Reply

mystyleshoppe Another seller using my photos and most of my description to sell her item. Contacted Poshmark, hopefully they will make her remove them. So frustrating!

Nov 06Reply

mloest @mystyleshoppe oh no!! I mean, how hard is it to use your own photos or to just ASK permission? Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m so sorry!!

Nov 06Reply

mystyleshoppe Sorry to hear it's happening to alot of the sellers. :(

Nov 06Reply

mloest @mystyleshoppe I can’t understand how and why! I’m hoping Poshmark will take care of this for you! Have you tried reaching out to the person to let them know?

Nov 06Reply

mystyleshoppe I have not contacted the person. I have contacted Poshmark. Hopefully, they will make her remove them. I just don't understand why people do this.

It is SO WRONG to steal someone else's hard work. Good for you for speaking out for yourself and I hope all those lazy copycats get shut down!

4betterguds Great idea! I was researching to do similar to this & yours came up also. I just saw someone who bought from me, Mark my items up and use some of my photos for them. The nerve!! You don’t mind me doing similar to your idea? Do you?

Mar 13Reply

mloest @4betterguds absolutely not! You can use this exact post if you’d like! Did you report them to Poshmark? I’m so sorry that happened to you. The same thing happened several times to me. Ugh it sucks!

Mar 14Reply

4betterguds @mloest using your actual post is even better. Thank you so much! Actually I messaged her to ask her first in lieu of reporting her to Posh. She has a big account & been on 2 years, so I hoped she knew the rules. She wrote back fast apologizing saying she thought it was from a store site & has removed it. I told her I take the time to make all my own photos collages & appreciate it. Now I think I will have to also put my closet name or watermark on each.

Mar 14Reply

katerina49 @mloest I have the same issue with Posher who has a big account. I nicely texted her through bundle like you recommended, but she ignored and deleted my text/bundle. How do you report this to Poshmark?

Apr 22Reply

mloest @narias_closet yes absolutely! Take screenshots of the replicas with the persons’ screen name, then contact Poshmark support. If you feel comfortable, I would try to resolve it by letting them know there’s a potential their closet will be limited, suspended, or shut down completely if they don’t remove it. Those are Poshmark’s rules and they adhere to those specific rules very strictly. Please lmk if I can help in any way!

angiebryan This just happened to me, the user is using my photos and someone else’s and not one of her own and now she keeps price cutting me! I’m so annoyed. I kindly told her to post some of her own photos and she was so nasty with me saying I was just jealous her price was lower and that I found the pictures online and didn’t take them myself, when I did in fact take them. Then I was instantly blocked and made to look dumb.

Jun 09Reply

angiebryan I sent posh a screenshot of her listing and my original photos and they told me to just use the report button. Nothing has happened yet and her listing is still up. If anyone wants to help me report this abuser, please use the report button on her Tiffany Mesh bracelet listing! Her closet is @tiffanyboston20 Thank you all for keeping the community honest and using your own photos 💕

krede715 This happened to me and she won’t remove the pictures and said that there’s nothing in the rules that state that she can’t use my pictures! I emailed Poshmark but haven’t heard back yet

Aug 11Reply

krede715 @angiebryan where is the report button? This happened to me and she won’t remove my pictures

Aug 11Reply

angiebryan @krede715 the three dots in the top right corner of the listing! Last option allows you to report the listing

Aug 11Reply

krede715 @angiebryan Thankyou! I appreciate it! I sold a pair of shoes and took beautiful pictures with my flowers in the photos. The lady bought them for 10 , gave me a 4 Star rating and when I looked on her page. There they were for 40 with all of my pictures and only my pictures! She said that there’s nothing in the rules that state that she can’t do that

Aug 11Reply

krede715 @angiebryan what option would you choose for using someone else’s pictures? They don’t give that option after you click the 3 dots

Aug 11Reply

angiebryan @krede715 I actually emailed poshmark support saying that I own the pictures and do not give permission for @user to use them. You have to attach the original photos from your phone (not screenshots), and they will remove the listing all together! I also included a screenshot of their rules that state you can’t use photos without permission. You can find that on their website 😊

krede715 @angiebryan Thankyou for your help! I appreciate it! 😊

nicas_closet Thank you for posting this! I just had the worst experience and I’m so mad right now....reading others stories made me feel like I’m not alone in this. I had a buyer who marked my item as delivered, but did not rate me. I Immediately saw she had listed the item on her page but used my photos and description. I reported her to PM for copyright infringement and they resolved it right away by removing the listing......

Aug 13Reply

nicas_closet She then immediately relisted the item but cropped my photos even smaller, but you could still see it was my photos, so I reported her again. They once again removed them immediately. So now, she decides to rate me 1 star claiming it was for cleanliness because the item smelt bad!! I have never in my 12+ years of selling across multiple platforms, have I ever mailed out something that was dirty or smelled bad. The item I sold her was new, with tags. I am so livid right now......

Aug 13Reply

nicas_closet Yes, I could’ve reached out to her directly, but I don’t feel that I should have to reiterate PM’s rules, as she has been using PM longer than I. This is why PM has a team to handle this. It’s common sense that you don’t use someone else’s photos without asking them. Very tacky in my opinion. Okay, rant over!! 🙄 Thanks for reading 🥰

Aug 13Reply

312posher Question - did you just email directly PM to report it? I just happened to come across a listing with my photo being used.... now I'm thinking how many other times this might have happened!

Sep 05Reply

mloest @312posher first I communicated with the other person politely and asked her to take them down and gave her a deadline to do so. When that didn’t happen, I emailed Poshmark support with screenshots and the users’ name for reference of the listing. I sent the ENTIRE listing and then I sent my entire listing just of my photos as proof.

Sep 05Reply

mloest @312posher after they investigated it, it took a few days, not only did they suspend her, but they froze her account, wouldn’t allow her to do anything but sell. No bargaining/offer option. Nothing. No messaging. Just if a random person bought at full price from her closet. She did it again, so I reported her and in like a day, her account was disbanded and removed by Poshmark. And I got an email stating they closed her account.

Sep 05Reply

312posher @mloest Thanks for the info! I emailed PM last night with the links to her listing and mine and her username. It's a dang shame! You'd think something should be so simple. Anyways, thanks again and happy poshing... wish you many sales 💌

vivaglamlove This just happens to me and I took the time to make the pictures, dress the mannequin set up the light it’s just not right

Nov 20Reply

mloest @vivaglamlove if you read my most recent responses to others with the same issues, that may help. I was able to have the poshers (yes as in multiple) banned permanently. 👍🏼 I was happy! Now, I’ll use someone’s photos but I will NOT publicly ask permission. I usually set up an empty bundle and screenshot our private conversation, only because I don’t want it to appear like I’m spamming their closet. So about 3% of my photos are “borrowed” but some people take better photos.

Nov 21Reply

mloest @vivaglamlove If they would just ask, even as a message post, I’d be more ok with it but jeez, these people just do whatever the heck they want. I’d totally report them if talking to them hasn’t helped. Just my unsolicited advice :)

Nov 21Reply

vivaglamlove @mloest thank you for your advise and the post of the rules about copying someone else pictures, as you recommended I ask her to remove my picture and she did it

Dec 17Reply

thisthatshack I googled this because this happened today. Mine were stolen by a Poshmark ambassador. She had previously lowballed me, when she got the item she gave me a low rating and said my brand new NWT item had a spot on it. I know it was flawless when I sent it out. Then I see it reposted in her closet for double what she paid using my photos.... She was about to make another purchase when I noticed. I had Poshmark remove the photos. I blocked her, Its not my job to build her store for her.

amyancey7 How do you report this to posh? I have someone who did this to me and my body is in the picture and like you said I took my time to take these photos and they are selling a $60 bag for 225 LOL what a joke...

rebelheart538 @mloest Hello there. I have an inquiry about someone who bought something from me who is using my photos to re-Posh something without asking my permission to use my images. However, I just noted, the seller just removed the listing (I had to ask the seller 8 times to remove my images and mentioned that I would report them to Poshmark). I did ask them to use their own images in the future. Any advice would be appreciated in case this happens again. :)~

Mar 16Reply

theuniquebuy @kaliashle you have been on Poshmark since 2018... you may want to familiarize yourself about what is and isn’t acceptable. I did ask kindly, I will alert you at this time that I did email them regarding this. There are a NUMBER of reasons as to why posting someone’s ACTUAL ITEM can be problematic. Here is a thread to enlighten you. Again, you have MY jacket amongst the stock photos - that is misrepresentation and infringement

Apr 17Reply

mloest @theuniquebuy @kaliashle She can have your Poshmark taken down and also your listings. If you’re not reposhing something (which then, Poshmark takes on that liability), and you’re solely using someone’s photos without approval, then you are looking at getting shut down. I’m trying to remain impartial but she’s not threatening. I’ve had this problem-hence my post-and I’ve had people shut down multiple times. Take the advice.

Apr 18Reply

theuniquebuy @mloest it appears she re-listed it and removed the photo of the jacket in my possession. I don’t know why they think that’s an okay thing to do. Thanks!

Apr 18Reply

rosy415 @mloest @dshanno Did this to me today. I saw she stole my pictures of my Used Tiffany necklace for sale and sold it as New with tags. When I commented telling @dshanno she did not have the right to use my pictures especially when I have that item up for sale SHE BLOCKED ME!! I had to sweat in the hot Florida sun taking pictures of my jewelry for 2 hours just to have someone swoop in, claim them as their own, and sell the necklace with my images. Very unethical

ninas_hob Thank you for this post and, if you don't mind, can I use some of your description in my closet? I definitely want to add this disclaimer so the next person knows...retake your own photos and write your own descriptions...ok..I feel better being able to vent to those who get it!

Feb 26Reply

mloest @ninas_hob absolutely!! I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Did you report them??

ninas_hob @mloest no..I did post a blurb in my shop and just decided to not give it anymore energy over the $15 markup and focus on listing instead..I believe in karma..I really appreciate you starting this conversation though and allowing us to have a place to vent and bond 😊

lsand2 @mloest I have purchased items and I have taken my own photos of these items and tried to post them and I keep getting flagged and I’ve typed in Poshmark and they won’t answer me as to why I have certain blazers that will not let me post. They are used I give my own descriptions I don’t copyright anybody’s price tags, ads photos or anything but Poshmark does not answer me why I cannot upload the photos of these specific three blazers

Oct 23Reply

carmenbeck @mloest where exactly do you list this and may I used this also. I’m currently in a situation where someone has MY listing as THEIR listing!! I just contacted Poshmark and I’m waiting to hear back. Not sure what to do. My family photos are in the background!

Nov 08Reply

mloest @carmenbeck it’s actually found in Poshmark’s rules and regulations for buyers and sellers, but yes, to save you research time, you may absolutely use it! I’m so sorry it happened to you! My thing is, at least ask and I might say yes. You get nothing from me when you take without asking.

Nov 10Reply

mloest @carmenbeck It’s so rude! And it’s misrepresenting YOUR listing and YOUR item because the buyer of that potential seller is expecting their purchase to arrive looking like yours, and our tags/names are at the bottom of our photos. Ugh! I have had several people banned bc of this rule so I hope you know let this person know bc Poshmark will uphold that rule 100%!

Nov 10Reply

carmenbeck Thank you!! Yes it happened to me 2 days ago but Poshmark made them removed the listing. I feel like they should have shut them down. It’s a horrible thing for someone to do. We all work so hard to get gorgeous photos and they go and do that.

Nov 10Reply

jrmm110200 This just happened to me, but I don’t think there’s anything Poshmark can do because the person used my photos that I took and posted from another website I use. @marandachisholm took six different photos from me that I used on another website. You can just look up my username on the internet. Those listings I didn’t post on my Poshmark. I don’t know what to do now.

Dec 16Reply

kgsouthbeach @amrowe28 @mloest I put a great deal of effort in my listings using a costly app that charges me monthly. When people steal my pics, I send them a message in legal form explaining that the photos I use are stock provided to me by the vendor who gives me permission to use them and when I make a listing with them, they become my intellectual property and they’re in violation of Poshmark’s TOS. Continued….

Jan 10Reply

kgsouthbeach @amrowe28 @mloest Also, you can go to your settings and toggle off the option to allow or prevent buyers from using your photos for reposhing purposes. I’m constantly having to confront other people for taking my photos. They will argue with me and tell me they found them on Google. Regardless, it’s still my intellectual property, and I will do whatever it takes to prevent anyone from taking it especially when they have done no work nor paid for the program.

Jan 10Reply

mloest @kgsouthbeach omg you’re amazing! I completely agree and I love that you’re doing that. That further protects the copywriting of your photos and the protection of your “property” (in this circumstance: photos). I think it’s awesome you do that and thank you for that advice!

Jan 13Reply

mloest @kgsouthbeach If someone politely and merely asked, I would consider it, and any time I ever use others’ photos, it’s 100% with their documented approval beforehand. I absolutely despise how Poshmark allows people to “Reposh” and that person can literally use the original photos. It’s so not okay!

Jan 13Reply

kgsouthbeach @mloest You are ABSOLUTELY right. My work, my money and my time, all things that are valuable to me and my business (and livelihood). As a former criminal defense lawyer, my expertise isn’t just h copyright laws but I’m certainly capable of researching and know where to look and how to confront someone in a professional yet legal manner that is extremely effective most of the time. (Continued…)

Jan 15Reply

kgsouthbeach @mloest If you go to the main menu and tap on MY SELLER TOOLS you’ll find an option to tap REPOSH SETTINGS. Tap that and toggle off the button that allows buyers to use your photos. My issue is I sell retail on here and it’s HIGHLY competitive and setting yourself apart from the competition is essential. I am self-taught in graphic arts and it has taken YEARS to get to the level I am now. Continued….

Jan 15Reply

kgsouthbeach @mloest So the fact that it took me about two years to master the app, the amount of money I spend on the app plus the amount of time it takes to create the listings is not something I am willing to just give away free. I would not even let people BUY my listings as they are what set me apart in this competitive market. If they want to pay me to create something special for them, I’d do it. But it wouldn’t be cheap. So I fight and I win. Continued….

kgsouthbeach @mloest Most of the time people don’t argue and simply weren’t aware of the law behind it. Or, they know what they’re doing is wrong but don’t argue because of the legalese I use which, for all intents and purposes, scares them into taking it down. I will happily share with you what I send. It takes three messages, but it’s a copy and paste thing. And if you sell on the Bay of E? It won’t work. I’ll go over that too. Continued..,

kgsouthbeach @mloest It will take me a minute because I’m in the middle of something. But if you do a search for Easel mineral washed pants, you’ll see why my listings set me apart. Plus I am price competitive and offer excellent customer service. (I’ve refunded a customer over $230 when I was only paid $169 for a sale. Other sellers said I was crazy, but now that customer is one of my best customers and is extremely loyal.) I’ve got a ton of tricks up my sleeve!

kgsouthbeach I’m a former lawyer and have a 3 part message that I copy and paste to send to people who steal my photos. Most of the time it works and I get an apology because people often don’t realize what they’ve done. Sometimes I do have to take the issue to Poshmark to force the removal or the seller will take offense, but that’s not my problem. As long as @mloest doesn’t care, I’ll post the messages here for everyone to use.

kgsouthbeach I will give you 48 hours from this day [insert date and time, don’t forget to mention your time zone] to remove my listing photos and replace it/them with something else. I do not like to be mean, but it has taken me a long time to learn how to use the app to make my listing photos and costs a monthly fee. Additionally, I spend a lot of time to make sure that my listing photos are uniquely different in order to stand apart from my competitors in this competitive field.

kgsouthbeach Again, I ask that you please comply with my request so as not to force my hand. Selling on Poshmark is my career and sole source of income. I will take any and all necessary measures to protect my intellectual property, starting with notifying Poshmark of the violation of their TOS to taking whatever legal action in which I am entitled. I ask kindly that you please be governed accordingly.

bramblelane @mloest hi! I recently had someone steal 7 of my pictures / listings that they’ve posted in their closet without my permission and I’ve contacted poshmark several times and nothing has been done about it. The listings are still up. They told me to use the report button but there’s not an option for reporting stolen pics. Her name is @kellilillian18 she has 7 dresses that are mine and live in my closet. Any ideas how to get her listings removed? She has blocked me

runninginadress I had over 30 separate product photos I took all stolen and used as their own and the process of having poshmark remove them is so tedious. The worst part is they cross listed to multiple platform all with my personal product photos
