Great video. I really like that you message the potential buyer after you send an offer on Depop, thank you for the tip. Also, thanks for sharing the specifics about that cancellation on Poshmark, that's nerve-racking.
Poshmark is so bad for me. I always get exactly one sale per month. But my aunt said that she specifically uses posh to search for and buy vera bradley. So that is something to keep in mind.
Poshmark has been scary. It was my best selling platform, but after their chaotic fee structure mess, my sales on there dropped significantly. I was hoping that was just a coincidence, but... maybe not. I'm also loving depop though! I hope you keep making great sales over there! :)
Also, when someone sends you an offer I thought the 3 hour cancelation thing was waived. Like I can mark something as shipped right away, but when the cancelation buffer is in effect I cannot. Must have been a scam account.
I believe if Poshmark thinks you’re a scammer they just delete your acct so that’s probably why you couldn’t contact the buyer anymore. I wonder if they were able to cancel it because it hadn’t been scanned in at the post office yet?
Yes, I have had that happen to me. Where I got an email in the middle of the night stating that an order was canceled after the 3 hour window had passed. I think I got the exact same email. What I do now, is the moment I'm walking out to my mailbox with sales. I mark it as shipped, and then I go in and mark the item as shipped but not tracking. So Poshmark knows not to cancel an already shipped order.
Hi! Thank you so much! I think you are exactly right. Poshmark finally got back to me, too. Said they canceled the sale due to "unverified payment by the buyer" 🫠
Wow so sorry that happened…..crazy posh sometimes ….I usually ship out so fast and don’t think I’ve gotten a cancel like that …..hard to remember tho . Yes keep your head up , keep truckin , all the things ….. posh was so slow in Dec ……picked up a little bit so every bit counts …..that’s why we have other apps right ;) to hopefully pick up the slack .😅
Would you be up for making a “getting started on Depop” video? How to set shipping costs/pricing strategies? What their buyers expect. I’ve always wanted to sell on Depop but Posh is so easy; plus more customers with disposable income shop there. I’ve heard that Depop consumers only want items for cheap with free shipping bc of their demographic. Unfortunately not all resellers can shop the bins for inventory therefore their COG is higher and it deters people like me from listing on platforms where people expect steals. I personally have the inventory the Depop audience wants but I don’t want to “give it away”.. I hope my mumbled comment makes sense. 🤪😅
Hi! Thanks so much for the video suggestion! IMO depop buyers are fantastic, and I don't think that everyone is looking for something for nothing. My depop average sale price is much higher than on Poshmark!
@@whatmeganlikes, oh that’s awesome your Depop is more successful than Posh! I bet you have some great advice for getting started then. If you decide to create a video in regards to Depop, I’ll BOLO.. 😉 Thanks!
Ugh, Megan, you are scaring me😬….. I have been a posh shopper for years and just started reselling in November. Things have been going fairly well and sales seem to be steady. However, as a brand new seller I do not have any sort of baseline or anything to compare. I haven’t cross listed yet as the shipping on other platforms is very intimidating 🤨. I do hope that things pick up on Posh but that may be unlikely if it had been trending downward for the past year. As always, thanks for sharing, I always love your videos❤
You're doing great! Don't be discouraged. I wasn't trying to scare anyone; just being honest about how my personal sales are going. I know others are not experiencing the same thing.
I’ve never had that happen as far as Poshmark but wow the fact that it was passed the 3 hour window & then their initial response wasn’t even relevant to what you asked….. yeaahhhh I’m gonna need Poshmark to get it together ASAP!
UGH Agreed! The response really annoyed me TBH! honestly at first I was so confused about what they were even talking about and then I realized I wasn't crazy - they just decided not to read anything I wrote. LOL
Yes that happened to me a while back but with a $30 order....it was well after 3 hour window and I had actually shipped the item...I reached out to poshmark and was like ok so what now I'm out the money and my item....poshmark released the earnings to me thankfully....it was the weirdest thing
I think that's what Poshmark had thought happened as well - but they were going to make me provide a receipt from the post office - and NOT one from a self service kiosk. So, had I dropped the sale on Sunday - without getting a receipt - because they were closed - I probably would have been out the item and the $. They still have not responded to my email... 😅
Hello, I love watching your channel. Thank you for starting it. Just one question for you. I was curious what crossing listing software you use? I am a part-time reseller and just to get more eyes on my inventory. I have been pondering starting the use of a cross listing software and I just am looking for some input. Thank you for your time and as always take care! :-) 😅
Hi! I promote all 'new-never-listed-before' items at 2%; and then when the go to get reposted; I raise it to 3.2%! No reason as to why I promote at those rates aside from I want to promote my items, but I don't want to pay them a ton to do so. Thank you so much for watching!
Sounds like Poshmark canceled your order and not the buyer. Could be they realized it was a scammer, or what I've had happen to me a few times on eBay is, someone will find your item for sale on a Google search. They will then go to the platform, create an account, purchase your item, then thinking that it's done they will decide to close their account for privacy reasons leaving the platform without any way to further track or verify the sale. So, they then have no choice but to cancel the sale for your protection. Might be why you weren't able to contact the buyer either. Account is probably closed.
Didn’t have it happen on Posh but it happened on eBay. Collector Barbie that I was selling for my cousin. Sold on the weekend & I have 1 day shipping so shipped on Monday. Got notified on Wednesday not to ship due to fraud. Contacted eBay & they said I was covered. But then a couple weeks go by & they try to take my money back ($165!). I think what happened was it was a stolen card & so original owner of card filed transaction as a fraud. They wanted me to send my original pics ( didn’t have anymore & eBay had deleted the sold listing for some reason). I had to write an explanation of what had happened. In the end I got to keep my $ but I was nervous I was going to be without $ & my cousin’s Barbie. Total panic attack for me in the middle of my big Italy vacation 🙄
Sounds like a scam and the card was maybe being used fraudulently. Good thing you didn’t ship it yet! I suspect they were waiting for it to be marked shipped before canceling.
Megan holy crap no offense girl but your inventory system seems like it takes way more time than necessary. I am no genius and don't have 1/8 of the items but they get a number when listed put in a box and when the box is full it goes on the shelf with the numbers on the front of the box. Twice a year I condense but never use the same number twice. It seems like it takes too much time and that your touching the listing more than needed. Just an opinion. I warch you on the regular and am subscribed.
Thank you for sharing your tips! I appreciate your feedback, and sharing how you do inventory! I am dyslexic, and struggle with numbers, so I try to stay away from them as much as possible ( why I chose a letter system! )
I only pay attention to Poshmark's notifications on the app, so thank you for the head's up to double check the emails!!
Great video. I really like that you message the potential buyer after you send an offer on Depop, thank you for the tip. Also, thanks for sharing the specifics about that cancellation on Poshmark, that's nerve-racking.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! 🤓✨️
Is that the leather jacket you were debating on keeping for yourself? It looks great on you in the last clip
It is!!!!! Thank you so much ✨️ 🫶🤓
Love your sales Megan and your videos! Thank you for information ☺️
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Poshmark is so bad for me. I always get exactly one sale per month. But my aunt said that she specifically uses posh to search for and buy vera bradley. So that is something to keep in mind.
Poshmark definitely has its demographic! I just wish I felt like my items were still being seen by the buyers on the app!
Poshmark has been scary. It was my best selling platform, but after their chaotic fee structure mess, my sales on there dropped significantly. I was hoping that was just a coincidence, but... maybe not. I'm also loving depop though! I hope you keep making great sales over there! :)
I am SO sorry to hear that! What a bummer 😔Hopefully Posh picks up and Depop continues to GROW!
Also, when someone sends you an offer I thought the 3 hour cancelation thing was waived. Like I can mark something as shipped right away, but when the cancelation buffer is in effect I cannot. Must have been a scam account.
right?!? I think it was a scam account too; very curious to see if Poshmark even writes me back...
I believe if Poshmark thinks you’re a scammer they just delete your acct so that’s probably why you couldn’t contact the buyer anymore. I wonder if they were able to cancel it because it hadn’t been scanned in at the post office yet?

interesting....and good idea! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great job on the Picasso sweater, I remember when you thrifted it!!!😅
That was a really fun find, I'm glad it went to a good home! ✨
Hi Megan! I love your videos. I think the cancellation was someone using a stolen credit card/fraud. This happened to me a few months back.
Hi! Thank you so much! I think you are exactly right. Poshmark finally got back to me, too. Said they canceled the sale due to "unverified payment by the buyer" 🫠
Wow so sorry that happened…..crazy posh sometimes ….I usually ship out so fast and don’t think I’ve gotten a cancel like that …..hard to remember tho .

It definitely was a crazy Poshmark situation, but at least we have other options! 😊 Thank goodness i don't have all my eggs in the Poshmark basket!

I don’t think you even have to wait 3 hours when offers are accepted. You can pack and mark shipped right away
😀💛🐕💚

@whatmeganlikes ya that's crazy, I always either drop it off at the counter or have someone pick it up....i never get a receipt 🥴

Hi! I use List Perfectly! There's a link in my linktree if you want to check it out for yourself! I would absolutely say it's worth it
Hi hon how do you decide what to promote in your listings? Thx for another great video, I was missing you since your last one!!❤😊
Hi! I promote all 'new-never-listed-before' items at 2%; and then when the go to get reposted; I raise it to 3.2%! No reason as to why I promote at those rates aside from I want to promote my items, but I don't want to pay them a ton to do so. Thank you so much for watching!

Yes! I agree, Poshmark actually canceled the sale, not the buyer! I wish when you made an account it was more clear about how purchases work!
I would love to know if you go to platos closet anymore?
I do!

I am SO sorry that happened to you!! That's a nightmare! 😔 Glad you got to keep the $ in the end.
😅sales sucked this week. Last week was great.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! 🫶✨♻️

💯 Posh wrote me back, and I do believe you are correct; payment was likely a scam / stolen card / something like that.
