My prices are so fair and I always take at least 20% off bundles and I always go lower when offered a reasonable price. But to be insulted by ridiculous low balling is just RUDE. What is a rude offer you might ask, well if something is $15 and you ask $5. I'm all for trying to get a bargain and I do realize that a lot of these things are used items but Posh takes so much out even if I accepted $5 I would make 2.

desidooo I feel like I am so fair in pricing and reducing. I also feel like asking me to go lower and lower with no intention of buying is just so mean. I made a bundle for someone with a great price and after negotiations, taking the time to create a photo etc. they said...ok great when I get the money I'll buy. WHAT?????

Aug 13Reply

desidooo I hold items, I lower prices, I really try to help people purchase an item they really seem to love. I understand Posh charges a lot for shipping HOWEVER Posh also takes a lot from a sale. 😊

blukat I agree... I've had items listed for $60 & ppl offer $15. I want to say r u crazy?? LOL!! 😄😄

Aug 15Reply

desidooo @blukat lol I know!!!!! I really try to be fair, and I totally understand the shipping but after working with someone to get a good price etc. then they disappear, it just is wrong. I had this woman bundle a whole bunch of items, I gave her more than 30% off the bundle price. I set up a photo with everything....and she says " ok great when I make some sales and get some money I'll purchase".....lol WHAT?????? That could be never!!! Lol

joliefille AGREED on EVERY point! Mind if I copy the listing idea to my closet? I wish people would read and not assume everyone negotiates or gives x amount or percentage off anything. Posh should really come out and say that aside from egenral rules each closet can make their own rules on pricing and negotiation. If someone wants to entertain lowballers thats their business, but not all of us operate the same.

I made a post with all her likes gave her like 30% off and then she says ok I'll purchase when I make some sales.....what????? Lol. I guess it's par the course

ball_mom I don't normally complain 🙊 BUT my new low was a person who wanted to bundle 4 items... And offered me less than the cost of ONE of the items she'd liked! Basically, she wanted an 80% discount on her bundle of four items. What?!?! 💩 It helps to vent! 😉

Sep 20Reply

desidooo @ball_mom VENT AWAY LOL. That is just mean. Ultimately did she buy anything?

Sep 20Reply

ball_mom Ha! Of course not! 🙊🙊🙊

Sep 20Reply

desidooo @ball_mom crazy. If you read this post, you saw I went as far as lowering my prices, making a new listing for this lady's bundle, tagging her, and only for her to say "ok when I make some sales I'll purchase". Lol WHAT???? Why torture me and waste my time? Lol

Sep 20Reply

ball_mom Crazy. I see things like this all the time when I'm browsing, and then I had a lady get upset with me the other day when I didn't want to haggle prices on my actual listing. This is why! And, no, she didn't end up purchasing, either. I offered her an amazing discount--no bundle--and she said she gets in-store discounts and could get it new for slightly more. If that's your plan, why ask me a zillion questions? If I'm asking questions, I'm seriously considering it! Heavens. Okay. Feels better to vent. 😉

Sep 20Reply

desidooo @ball_mom I know. I price my items usually with room to negotiate. And I'm (well I feel I am lol) very fair. And if someone truly wants so etching and lives it I don't mind lowering the price. Rather them enjoy it than sit in my closet unused. But some people ruin that by being insulting. The fact is these are MY items and I can basically charge what I want, fair or not, over priced or not. You don't have to buy it lol. Oh well....it's the nature of the beast I suppose. I still love to posh and for the most part people here are great. 😊

Sep 20Reply

ball_mom Absolutely! There are hundreds of amazing ladies for every one of the frustrating ones. Normally it doesn't bother me. Hey, I love a great deal, too. It's just when they seem to come back-to-back. If I didn't love it, I wouldn't be around so often! 💞

Sep 20Reply

coral_jaden i LOVE this post....you are all the way right. i'm very new here....still learning the ropes....but i had my first sale a few days ago....and it was an interesting experience. the original price was $22, i listed for $15 BRAND NEW. after a few days i adjusted the price to $13 and posh discounted the shipping. this girl offers me $8!! i'm new and really wanted to make my first sale...but selling for $8 meant $5 for me (less than what i paid)....i declined....she offers $10....i just shook my head and declined....i felt like "if you can pay $10 you can pay $13. why pinch over a couple dollars? it was kinda silly....but immediately after i declined her $10 offer, she clicked buy on the $13 price. but by then the window for the discounted shipping had passed....so all of that was a waste of time right? oh well, i made a sale....yay me! and she will receive a new good quality item for much less than she'd pay in any store. so yay for her too....i guess. lol

Nov 23Reply

desidooo @coral_jaden you are so cute. We want to make a sale and be fair..... And fair to ourselves. I always consider the buyer pays for shipping HOWEVER posh takes so much for themselves as well. Sometimes i just want to clear my items out. You can also offer a lower price if they would like to bundle with another item. 😊 welcome to posh.

Nov 23Reply

coral_jaden awwww thanks @desidooo lol i appreciate the bundling suggestion and sharing my closet too.

Nov 24Reply

missmayra__m I came across this post on Google. I'm new to Poshmark and feel that I have listed my items at fair prices but the offers I get are up to 65% lower than the already discounted price! I accepted because being new, I thought I was supposed to take the offer but now I see that I don't! Thank your for this!

Aug 16Reply

desidooo @missmayra__m welcome to posh!!! Lol I made his post because sometimes people offer me half of what I'm asking. My prices are low AND I always go lower by at least 20% asking price. I made it when I was frustrated. Glad you saw this. You do not have to accept every offer especially if you feel it's worth more. Happy poshing

Aug 17Reply

missmayra__m Ohh one more question! What about the people that seem to purchase your item to resell for more?

Aug 19Reply

desidooo @missmayra__m yeah that sucks lol but once you seek it it's theirs to do what they please with.

Aug 19Reply

craziebelangie I just had someone offer me $20 for a Bridesmaid dress I have listed at $60. I actually would rather keep it for $20. I'm gritting my teeth at the fact I even generously lowered it to $60. It's versatile and comfortable; very pretty. I do have another dress listed, cheap; a prom dress but it is significantly older style from 2004 and is very wrinkled from storage and would find this style harder to sell. offering 50% +or more off someone's listed price is a slap in the face! 😡

Sep 08Reply

desidooo @craziebelangie isn't infuriating? When it is offered through the offer button, I just decline it if it is insulting. My prices are fair, with a little wiggle room for negotiation. I usually, depending on the item will go as low as 20% off the marked price, but someone offering you $20 for a $60 item? No way lol. Did you look in her closet at her prices? I often do that as well. Don't let me discourage you though, for the most part this is a great place to sell and buy. Happy Poshing

Sep 08Reply

craziebelangie Yeah I did look at her closet.. She wants $60 for a pair of jeans. 😑 Should I now go over $20 on them?! Lol! She offered in the comments. I have bought three items on Posh so far. One needed to be returned and the girl was kind of a bit rude about it. The shoes has stains and reeked strongly of chemicals. Thankfully they refunded my money. There are always those few people in every bunch!

Sep 08Reply

desidooo @craziebelangie my success rate is sort of 40/60 on purchases. 40 being the good items. New with tag items are always your best bet lol. It's hard to please everyone, people don't ask questions and then purchase items and are not satisfied. It's important to ask all the questions before you purchase. 😊

shadow46and2 I have never purchased or used this and i dont ever want to be one of those" Low Ballers" i appreciate the time and effort you sellers put in to creating closets, finding clothing that is classy and stylish is a skill i just don't 8. I want a stylist...like is that possible?

cosmotini ❤️❤️❤️ this @desidooo 💐👍🏼💐 I've trolled thru ur comments on this post & experienced all of these... 😏 I wish that there was a minimum (that we the seller sets but buyer can't see) on the offer button.. so that if someone makes an offer 2low... then it automatic gets rejected & then maybe the buyer would get the gist of what the seller means by "REASONABLE OFFERS" 🤔 I have taken most "offers" since being on here cuz they are usually reasonable. 2 be lowballed is completely a insult, smh 🤔

Oct 15Reply

cosmotini Thank you @desidooo I think I jus vented on this post 😔 i also kno I'm not the only one... there are many that have expressed the insults of being lowballed. Thank you 😘 💐 @desidooo

Oct 15Reply

gemspark @cosmotini @desidooo Posh seriously needs to implement that "auto reject" function. Ebay has this already. I no longer drop prices so low and I list higher so that people would stop this madness. Even if you list items at rock-bottom, people would still want to go lower just because that "offer" button is there and a lot don't read your description that your "price is firm". Sometimes I just dropped the price of an item and immediately, people would offer something even lower. Wow indeed. O_O

She still asked for the original prices to be lower. She had 9 pieces of fine jewelry, all over $100 on their own. That would have been $10 a piece. Claire's is more expensive that that let alone DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES by DESIGNERS.

dmitten52 I have a question. This makes me so mad. I had my first lowball offer after I had already dropped the price of a really expensive dress that was NWT. I went to her page after to find she is selling similar rare pieces at 150$+ and only tried to buy my 100$ piece that I lowered to 40$ at 30$ and then also tried to get another item for free basically. Do you think she was going to resell the item? Super extremely rude and makes me so angry.

I am not sure how those people even able to buy any thing from here😱.

slitheen I just leave a comment on the listing restating everything I said. High end face mask retails for $48, I listed at $30. Offer was $15. I tagged and commented "this retails for $48, is brand new, still sealed, and in perfect condition jsyk." No response. I mean really it comes down to you can either go buy this item full price or get the exact same thing ridiculously discounted. Why would you insult me as if I'm selling something with no value??

august_eagle @natesclothesetc people aren't trying to insult anyone. It boils down to some people not having the money, so they offer as they do. I thinks it's shameful when someone tries to sell completely used broken down items for half the original price! Shoes that have been worn their full lifetime shouldn't be for sale! And the same for clothes! 😤

Jul 09Reply

desidooo @august_eagle it's not shameful to sell your items for what you think they are worth. There's the "pass on by" option to things you feel aren't worth what someone is seeing them for. Someone offers me less then half, then I go look at their closet and they have higher priced items then myself. I'm sure there are exceptions, and if someone is that in need, poshmark is definitely not the place, there are sites with no shipping fee that would be better. Poah takes 20% remember that as well

Jul 09Reply

tiashanee @desidooo I have some high end items brand new and people want them for 95%. Poshmark should create an option for sellers to put a minimum amount for buyers to offer and if they send an offer less then that amount then their offer will be automatically declined with a message "sorry your offer is too low please make a higher offer"

Jul 09Reply

desidooo @tiashanee that's a great idea. When I joined posh, years ago, seeking things was so easy, prices were lower because posh didn't take as Much as they do now, and shipping was lower. Less compotision. Things have really changed and selling is Moyer difficult. I get people trying to get the lowest prices, but they have to take everthing into consideration

Recently I decided to give it another go bc my closet is just getting out of hand. I listed my MK bag, barely used almost mint condition and I listed it for 50! Used versions showing wear are listed at 69 on poshmark, and she offered 25! It's so inconsiderate. I research costs and compare before I list so that I know I'm fair and competitive. It's such a slap in the face.

sleekandchicnyc @summerbreeze7 it is a brand new dress with all tags that I paid (and label + receipt photos show) I paid over $370.

avenueposh @missmayra__m same!! I hate the whole “offer” thing. I have that turned off on the other site I sell on. And people just pay what I’ve listed it at! Imagine that!? I came over here and it’s like some kind of crazy haggle market. I have a new pair of boys Trail sneakers up that are Merrell with tags on and box - price tag on is $70. I had them up for $30. I was offered $24 for those AND another pair of shoes together! So she gave herself a $6 discount on those plus a free pair! Wtf?!

desidooo @honeybeemel LOL thank you so much I'm glad you agree

Oct 25Reply

chilya I price my items very fairly and on the bottom of every listing I have the same tag line “NO TRADES!! NO MODELING!! PRICE IS FAIR, FIRM & FINAL!! ALL OFFERS WILL BE DECLINED” and yet on the daily I will get a comment like “trade?”

Oct 30Reply

chilya Or a complete lowball offer and I always comment and tag that person and politely tell them to read my description, and I love it when they fire back like...... geeeeez you don’t have to be so rude.... I didn’t read the description. But like why? 😂😂😂 that’s what a description is for haha

catherinefburke I wish Poshmark would take less from the sale. 20% is A LOT! Especially compared to other sites. It’s hard sometimes to cover even the cost of the product the margin is so low. I’d have a bit more room for negotiations if their cut wasn’t so extreme. Being offered 55% discount rate from a customer is also extreme though and I can’t do that. I usually can accommodate a reasonable discount. If they don’t want to cut their % they should offer eat the shipping on items over a certain amount.

Nov 01Reply

desidooo @catherinefburke it really is a lot I'm not familiar with any other sites, but do the other sites include shipping

Nov 01Reply

catherinefburke @desidooo usually not, but 10% cut for the site is usually the most. And they ship based on weight, where it’s generally standard here with the occasional discount on shipping. I’m starting to look into other places, as I don’t think the buyer or seller is doing well here

dcsdesertcloset @desidooo I love this post and the trailing comments as well. I'm relatively new to Posh and was wondering if you or anyone else on this thread has had someone ask for an additional item from my closet, for FREE, that was not included in the bundle they created and bought? How do I respond to that?

Nov 02Reply

desidooo @dcsdesertcloset when Posh first started there was not a bundle option you had a bundle your own items. If somebody was buying maybe three or four tops and they had another like that was like a tank top or something I would give them a bundle price and maybe throw in the tank top for free. Pasha's changed a lot though since then

Nov 02Reply

dcsdesertcloset @desidooo Hi! Thank you for the explanation. I just found it strange because she didn't add either of those pants to her bundle, accepted the bundle, then asked for free items, one of which was listed for $20. Maybe I'll just ask if she wants to add it to the bundle and I'll discount it. Thanks for being so responsive!! Have a great night.

desidooo @dcsdesertcloset you're welcome you just have to remember this is like your own little business and you make the rules and you set the limits. Happy poshing

Nov 06Reply

gemspark I also find it really annoying when you have priced less than what other places sell it for and people still lowball you. Then when you counteroffer them, they counteroffer you $1 less. I declined because of how annoying this person is. I would rather sell to someone who doesn't lowball and dollar-pinch, even if it means I have to wait a bit longer for it to sell. xD

morgbryncloset New to Poshmark and have a beautiful LV pouch that came with my never full MM for sale. I think $300 is a reasonable price for this as it has absolutely NO flaws and was only used less than 10 times. I got an offer for $100!!!! are you serious? I counteroffer at $295 and she gave me $120. DECLINED

erwynna I am new to posh, and wouldn't dream of lowballing someone, but have had it done...was offered $10 for an item I had listed for $45! I did offer someone $45 for an item she had listed for $80, BUT I know that item retails for $55 and she had worn it "a handful of times". It has just been marked up for being a hard to find print. I am not gonna pay $80 for something used that only cost $55 to start out unless its NWT.

Nov 18Reply

desidooo @erwynna I agree it's frustrating when people price their items at a high almost unreasonable price, however, it is their item and it is their choice on what they want to sell it for regardless. Remember posh takes 20%. I personally price some items higher with the intent to wiggle when someone offers me a price. Anyhow, welcome to Posh and thanks for the post 😊

Nov 19Reply

ivy_ilen @desidooo I luv this! Thanks for expressing the frustration of many. I am fairly new to Posh, and having a great experience. My only complaint is lowball offers; and sometimes silly questions, I list so much information on all my items. Many of my items are NWT or NWOT, Designer, Excellent condition/rarely worn, maybe 1-3 seasons old, on trend, and seasonal closet.. yet people want to haggle and lowball. It's so frustrating and quite rude!

jjt1980 I had a $200 dress that I bought new, wore a handful of times and was asking less than $40 for. A chick offered me $8. EIGHT! I counter offered with my lowest price, she counter offered $9. BLLLLLLOCKED. 😂😡😬

I lowered the price for Black Friday to $50 & someone still tried to offer me $30! $30 for a $120 dress are you kidding? I even tried to negotiate & say $45 & they still wanted it to be lower!!!!

And i priced it at that point bc I’m considerate enough to understand that they have to pay for shipping 😑

modelattire Every one bargains the price down on Poshmark, so I sometimes raise the price a little higher. Then, when I do that I get hardly any offers, shares, or likes. 😔 I too struggle with low ball offers on here, but at least we can just hit deny!

jgdoubleu Hi! I am new and had a question about countering a low ball bundle offer. The items alone are $98 combined, which is ~$83 with 15% discount. If I respond to offer for say $70, will Poshmark take another 15% off that too, or would buyer just see a counter of $70. Thanks sooo much!

Jan 18Reply

desidooo @jgdoubleu hi there, posh only takes their cut of the sale no matter what the price. You decide your discount and if you are bundling you need to make a separate post with that bundle price tag the buyer and then they can purchase or make an offer. But again posh only takes their cut which I believe might be 20% of the sale. They also tell you your earnings when someone makes an offer. I hope I was able to help. Good luck and happy poshing

Jan 19Reply

jgdoubleu @desidooo thanks for your reply! I don’t think I explained my problem correctly. So in my closet I’m offering to bundle 2 items for 15% off. So that brought the price to $83, which the buyer countered at. If I were to counter her low offer with $75, will Poshmark take another 15% off again bc it’s a bundle and the. and show the buyer I countered at 15% off of $75?? Sorry if I’m not making sense 😉

Jan 19Reply

desidooo @jgdoubleu I'm not understanding. Why would posh take another 15%?

mzp25684 @oasyys me too! And when I go look at the low ballers closet, they have items priced way higher than I would assume based on their offers to me. I try to price fairly, but I’m thinking in the future, I’ll jack the price way up so people don’t think they can low ball off the bat, but they probably still will.

Jan 23Reply

oasyys @mzp25684 I know right? that's the worst!! they have items listed for 10% off retail price like wow lol I would've been more understanding if that weren't the case. from now on I'm def pricing things appropriately esp if they've only been worn once or twice and are in immaculate condition. you should too girl! ❤️ being generous on here gets you screwed over

Jan 23Reply

charlottefash I am new to Poshmark. All of my listed items are NWT. I just responded to 2 lowball offers by restating that along with the percentage off retail that the item was listed (in this case 21%). I mean with that along with the 20% that Poshmark takes, how much lower are we expected to go?!?

Jan 23Reply

desidooo @charlottefash This is YOUR closet, you set the rules. You can charge $100 for a pair for used socks if you want. You can counter offer, you can lower a price, you can decline an offer at your own discretion. YOU are the boss. You owe nobody explanations, but if you feel inclined to do so, then do it. I personally always price with wiggle room to negotiate. I also usually will go down 20%. Most of my items are gently used so I’m ok with not making a profit or my money back. You do you girl!

Jan 23Reply

desidooo @charlottefash p.s. you also do not want to price items that after shipping cost the buyer more then if purchased online from the brands website. Example, if I have a $100 purse NWT and I sell it for $90 it’s actually costing the buyer about $100 with shipping.

Jan 23Reply

charlottefash @desidooo thank you! I did research the price and shipping at other vendors. I love getting a great deal and want to give others a great deal too. However; I cant GIVE them away. I am only selling these items because I was out of work for almost 5 months. All of my savings is gone and I don't get my first paycheck from my new job (started yesterday) until the week after next.

dealsnmore71 LOWBALL OFFERS are on every marketplace. I have been selling on various market places for years and you just need to learn to ignore them. My rule is "if they offer you too low, i am better off without them as my customer". Even if you agree to their price, the next offer is much lower. Some offers are so low i am better of giving the item for charity and claim tax deduction.

plumcreekbtq I'm dealing with it as well. If they low ball, I make one counter-offer to my original price, usually just $1 lower. If they reply and purchase, that's great. If they reply with another lowball offer, I decline and don't even counter-offer again. It's the same way on EBay. All of our listings have the option for Best Offer but we don't play around with silly lowball offers.

If they made a lowball offer...I look to their page and immediately make a lowball offer on one of their items.. 9/10 times they will decline. To which I will decline them as well...which gives me a hearty chuckle.

jsd99 Also, you can let them purchase at the lowball price and then cancel it hours later, inserting a heavy dose of Euphoria and despair in a short time. I especially love the aggressive Lowballers types: They counteroffer the same number they first offered. I leave them hanging and take away their power. It eats them up.

jrkant Can someone tell me if the offer I just placed on a Muubaa leather jacket is both respectable and reasonable? I did a lot of research online and the conclusions varied--but most recommendations said serious offers are more likely to be considered if you ask for 25% off--30% tops off the original selling price. I chose 25% off for my first offer to this seller. Any advice would be appreciated.

jennytxoxo Can I ask what you would consider as lowballing? And what you guys consider to be a good offer? I’ve heard many different people say a good offer is 70-80% OF THE ASKING PRICE while lowballing is asking for 50% OFF (or under.) I guess it depends on person to person but this thread is so interesting and I’d like to hear opinions!

Jun 10Reply

desidooo @jennytxoxo if an item is$50, offering 25 is lowball. I think asking 20% off listing price is fair. When I price my items I always price a little higher with room to negotiate. If i'm selling something I want 40 for, I'll list it for 50, but usually wo take 30-35 That's just me

may_maha @desidooo omg I feel you girl! I had this girl who kept sending me an offer with 40-50% discount from the bundle price. I kept sending decline and she would just submit a new offer 2 days after. She sent in a new offer this morning and I just had to block her. It’s so disrespectful.

may_maha She even dared to add in an item that I was willing to give out for free with a bundle of 3+ items (It was supposed to be for those who bought my items for reasonable offers!)

beantownthreads @thi_dang92 Worse when it comes from a competitor selling the same item for more $$-I declined her. If you have the item they want in the size they need, there's really no comparison-you can sell for less if you want to move on or hold for a higher price pending your individual circumstance-eventually, current competitors will deplete their stock and you'll have a bette chance of getting your price-can be exhausting though!

desidooo @missypoo2u it’s frustrating for sure. I believe people are looking more for a discount then ever due to the high shipping fee, and again, posh takes a high amount from the seller as well. Hang in there girl. Happy posting.

shishkabob26 I am new to Poshmark and just got an offer on my item. I didn't even know they could do that! Is there anyway to remove? I just set the price I wanted to sell for. I just might take my listings off.

Aug 10Reply

milamaeshop @missypoo2u i have the same feeling. People keep asking for more than a 50% discount and all my items are NWT. I sell on other platforms, but this makes me think twice about selling on PM now. Its so rude. I just immediately decline. I don't even counter anymore cuz if I do its my listing price.

Aug 10Reply

missypoo2u @milamaeshop exactly! I thought all the low-ballers were on eBay Lol! I can understand new poshers not knowing the costs involved but when the low offers come from other sellers, pleezzzeee!! Especially when the price is like $5-6 and you are are going to end up with 52 cents or something ridiculous haha! Thankfully most of the buyers are awesome!

Aug 10Reply

milamaeshop @missypoo2u Thats awesome. I just started selling on PM, but im having terrible luck. Im wondering if I should just raise my prices to give more room to bargain. I been getting a lot of offers 70 to 80% off the retail price. What has worked for you?

Aug 10Reply

missypoo2u @milamaeshop I’m still relatively new and still learning. You have to have items that people want at a good price but there is a fine line between a price that makes you and the buyer happy. I’m not interested in joining the race to the bottom. $2.00 profit is not worth my time and effort. Just keep building your closet with the best merchandise you can find at a price you can afford and price your items so that you have wiggle room for markdowns.

Aug 10Reply

desidooo @missypoo2u hi welcome to Posh!!! When I first started the werent many members, so selling was a breeze. I always try to price with wiggle room. Also, im .not trying to make a living here, just trying to sell and make a few extra bucks. Now the are so many members selling is harder. The key is SHARE SHARE SHARE your items. The more you put your coat out there the more people see. Good luck

Aug 11Reply

desidooo @shishkabob26 if you don't dant to accept the offer, just say no thank you. Price firm. Sometimes listings even say price firm. Don't be discouraged, it's the nature of the posh game. Good luck

abczoo I am a buyer who liked one item offered by a seller. She made me an offer on that item. I added two more items to create a bundle of 3. The seller immediately made me an offer on the bundle. I declined after just a few minutes because I decided just to buy 2 of the 3. I didn't ask her to go lower, ask questions, for extra pictures or even make a comment, I simply wanted to only buy 2 of the 3 items. But now I can't buy them - it seems she has blocked me. Just for declining one offer.

Aug 12Reply

desidooo @abczoo ugh that’s so frustrating. I love the offer button, back in the early days it didn’t exist, people would haggle you down and then disappear. The offer button locks them in lol. HOWEVER I do believe communication is key to any sale/purchase. In the future send a message explaining your intentions, she may have misunderstood.

Aug 12Reply

abczoo @desidooo I can't message her, or at least I haven't figured out a way since she blocked me. I can't even like any of her items.

desidooo @abczoo yes once you’re blocked you’re blocked. I meant while you were negotiating.

saichai I have a NEW WITH TAG Ted Baker coat that retailed for 539 USD. Ted Baker is *quality* merch. I posted it for $260. Someone put it in a bundle with two $70 items and offered $100 for all three together. I couldn't decline the offer fast enough. I don't bargain when the starting price is so low b/c it means we'll be ending low. Same guy offered $90 for the same coat and that was after I brought my price all the way down to $180. Poshmark should just rid of the bidding feature altogether.

Aug 16Reply

desidooo @saichai I realize that is so frustrating. Perhaps the offer came from someone who wasn’t familiar with that brand coat and how much they are worth. The offer option is so much better then not having it. Hours of haggling a bundle and finally the purchaser agrees to a price then just poof, disappears. Wasted time. The offer option lock the offer in. Good luck

seamusfrankie New posher here. When making an offer is poshmark’a shipping added on after or is that included in the offer. I don’t want to be rude or make a mistake.

purgatory5 Apparently people think it’s ok to start at 50-80% off honestly would you go into a store and do that.

risingphx I've got something listed that is brand new sealed and I have it listed about half of what it is worth and the item is not easily available. I'm asking 95 for it and got offered 37! I countered at 85 which was rejected. I then decided that I don't want people like that wasting my time so I blocked them! I've been selling on another site for 18 years and have had a store with them for over 10. I block people like that before they can buy from me which is why I probably have 100% feedback

Aug 27Reply

milamaeshop I'm upset. I just got an offer 10% of retail price. Brand new, never used. The retail is 348 and I listed them item for 168. The buyer offered me $34. I'm fuming. I declined her right away. I just wish I can give her a piece of my mind, but I need to be the better person. I rather just keep the item instead of selling it.

I did not read below - said no offers- I made a mistake. Went back to buy and seller - blocked me- also tried to leave apology - couldn't do that either. The make offer button was there - I was wrong - but - does this happen alot? Now I'm worried I broke some serious rule. help

prposh @desidooo So glad I saw this post! I get A LOT of hate. I have very high end luxury that I sell for great deals but some people want luxury at Walmart prices. The kicker was last week one girl, a Posh "Ambassador" as they are called, SPAMMED my listings telling people my prices were too high, when they were actually super low. She talked crap on all of my listings, for hours, one night. I said, if you don't like the prices, don't shop here and move on!

Nov 15Reply

mtnwanderer There’s a buyer called heyyitssdiyaa who I’m pretty sure is a troll. She’s offered me like $12 on multiple listings that were listed around $50-$100. Clearly lowballing for fun after I declined her offers multiple times.

Nov 16Reply

mtnwanderer Also this buyer called malikapabani gave me a one star rating because she bought a coat from me and it didn’t fit her husband....I provided measurements, so this was not my fault. I’ve heard from other buyers that she likes to give bad ratings. Beware of these buyers screwing with you and ruining your Posh stats!

chaiteachic Yes! I have a nwt couture wedding gown in my closet. It’s marked down to about half of the original price and i still have people asking for $100s more off. I had someone bundle it with something else expensive and offer only a couple hundred dollars (ONE item was worth over 2000)! I relisted and had someone keep offering me lower and lower pricing for it, over the span of a week, obviously hoping I wouldn’t notice it was the same person. BLOCKED and relisted.

frostbitn99 I get the frustration, but used is used, even if it is in “pristine” condition. With sales tax now being added and the shipping cost I can’t justify paying more than I bid. I can buy a comparable new item which I can return if it doesn’t work out. Can’t do that with Poshmark. I take all this into account when I bid. I try and be fair to seller while still being fair to me. You can say no and that’s ok. But someone else will say yes because zero money is being made from items sitting in a closet.

Jun 08Reply

desidooo @frostbitn99 you are right. however a $5 offer on a $25 item is insulting

Jun 09Reply

frostbitn99 @desidooo it’s just business. Selling used clothing isn’t about making a profit and some of the people on here (not all, but some) may really be financially struggling, esp in today’s economy. Give people the benefit of the doubt and it won’t bother you so much. Haggling is always going to be awkward. Don’t take it personally. It’s like gambling. Take your cash and go, or throw the dice and see what happens.

Jun 09Reply

frostbitn99 And, to just add this, the sales tax now being added should be what really pisses people off. These are used items - that tax has already been paid for! To charge it again on a used item (especially such personal items as clothing and shoes that have been worn on another person’s body) is what is truly insulting. It is essentially a double tax! I have more than once changed a bid when I saw that tax in my cart bringing up the price! Don’t know how to change that. It is so wrong!

desidooo @frostbitn99 same can be said about the seller. Perhaps they lost a job and need to sell their items to pay bills. I'm not here to argue, the fact is people will always lowball, and sellers will more then likely decline. Happy poshing

the302closet @frostbitn99 as well as the seller could be struggling. If the buyer can’t afford the price, they are always welcome to do the leg work of digging through bins for hours, combing through racks, clean the item and all the dirty work involved to find the items. We provide the convenience (a service) and the buyers pays for that service.

curvy__curator @desidooo I needed this post. I keep getting these ridiculously low ball offers, and it’s quite daunting. If I’ve already reduced a dress to 50% off of what I paid, why would it seem plausible that I’d accept a bundle of two dresses—of equal value—for less than the price of one? (Bundle deal was valued at $120. I knocked it down to $80. The offer was $35 for two dresses I paid $60 for a piece.) The first time I was offered $10 for a $30 listed price. I just cannot!

tweezybeez @cenarod that’s so silly if you ask me. I usually counter offer once and then let it expire if they don’t accept. And I feel my counter offers are very reasonable compared to listing price. Sometimes if it’s already at my lowest I’ll counter offer $1 than asking and then just let it expire

Sep 20Reply

tweezybeez @cenarod it all depends on how fast you want to get rid of your inventory. Someone will pay the asking price or make a reasonable offer eventually. But if you need it gone then selling it cheap(er) is the better alternative. Most of my items I still wear but BARELY. So I’m in no immediate rush to rid of them,

Sep 21Reply

coffee_2_wine I agree. I came on Posh hoping to just have another outlet for selling and people treat it like a garage sale. I have new, unique, vintage and some with tags and people are disrespectful with their offers. People actually bid and pay on Ebay way more than Posh. Only twice I have had someone actually buy my item at asking price on Posh. I have been deleting items from here. I am probably going to pull everything from here, I think Etsy and Ebay is the way to go.

Sep 27Reply

lizad03 I dropped the price of an item from $20 to $13 after someone likes them. They then messaged me asking for discounted shipping. That would mean dropping the price to $11 (10% required discount) PLUS is eat some of the shipping costs. It would leave me with about $5 on an item that was originally priced at $20. I declined the request for discounted shipping, do you think that was fair of me to do?

Sep 27Reply

apresler As the platform stands now, you can submit any offer on an item. If you aren’t willing to sell it lower, you should really list it as FIRM. It’s like any other listing whether it be a car or electronic item. I know as a buyer I would not submit an offer.

Sep 28Reply

exi13 @apresler This is good in theory but doesn’t work. Because my prices are so low and reasonable I started listing ‘Final Price’ unless bundled on items. I still get lowball offers on these items. Or they will bundle 3 items which total $30 and offer $6! I just kind of chuckle and decline. I also chalk it up to sheer stupidity and extreme rudeness!!! 🌝🦋🌸🌼

techluxe HaHa I found your post by googling "I will entertain all reasonable offers or my stuff will go back in my closet" I was looking for a "GIF" to post in my closet. Funny that "Poshmark" was the top result. This is my first experience selling on the internet. I have never really purchased much here because I'm crazy about "NEW" stuff from Retail Boutiques. I'm a full price girl! But cheap I am not. Its been two weeks since I started loading up my closet.

techluxe I realized pretty early on that folks here expect something for nothing. So I don't expect to sell anything. The more I post my stuff, the more I fall in love with it. If I'm gonna give it away it will go to F&F. I will give this a month and then I'm deleting my closet!

techluxe I don't have an issue with packaging things nicely. I just sold my Tory Burch boots,my first sale. I wrapped it nicely and threw in a TB necklace. I just think this isn't the right place to sell luxury items. Neiman Marcus has website for used luxe stuff I'm going there. The NM clientele gets it.

techluxe I just had ridiculous experience with Poshmark they pulled my Gucci, GG belt. The buckle is scratched...I threw it in a draw for 4 years. I mentioned I would have it dipped in gold tone because it cannot be polished...only gold can be polished. PM is so dumb, they pulled the item as counterfeit. They really believe that every Gucci, GG signature belt is 14K gold. SMH. The belt would cost thousands of dollars if that were so. They don't understand luxury so how can their customers?

There are a few GG belts vintage belts being sold here with the same issue. I'm over it after all folks here aren't going to buy it anyway.

Oct 15Reply

techluxe I'm exploring a couple of online stores that have local shops... specializing in luxury bags, shoes, etc. My expectations will never be met here. Its troubling. Before I could afford to buy high end stuff, I just walked away. Here at PM, poshers expect you to drop prices and take a loss. Another seller here has the same beaded A+O shirt I have. Its almost sold out. We both paid $597. These poshers are screaming lower, lower. If you can't afford it, you can't have it. Go buy a knock off! Yeesh

techluxe @brand_vieux thanks so much for the encouragement. I love the Red Bottoms in your closet. I have a similar pair in the Nude you have. I won't bother putting them here...

techluxe Ladies! Here ya go...https://moneypantry.com/sell-designer-bags/ PM is very low on the list! No surprise. I'm gonna get booted from PM I'm sure. As I continue to load up my closet and adore my stuff. I'm exploring a few sites on this list. I submitted my $6,500 Chanel circa 2014, bought from Neiman who now owns Fashionpile. I almost chocked but its an offer.

kathydelph @poshpixiepoesie i thought i was the only one I’m glad I’m not frustrated alone. I had an authentic MK wallet bought for $75 selling at $40 and offered $15

cybertwin1 i offered $1 less on an item and got no response($23 and i offered 22) they did decline 18.00 so i kept going up $1 to 22 and no response. weird.

Nov 08Reply

mauishopgirl Been on PM for years (top seller/ambassador). I don't take lowballs personally but I do decline & move on. I had a buyer offer me 30% & 40% of my asking. Declined both. Then offered me 60%. Even though it was a tad lower than I wanted I accepted. She then wrote me "advice" in the review that I shouldn't just decline w/out a counter, making the buyer send another offer. Girl, what?! Seriously, I feel gaslit.

Nov 14Reply

smoth1ee In defense of a lowball offers, nearly 99% percent of the stuff on PM is a depreciating asset, and something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. BUT, I experienced my first lowball yesterday. I could've just rolled my eyes and ignored it but I choose to be sarcastic. Check this exchange: https://poshmark.com/listing/Michael-Kors-Berkeley-TStrap-in-Black-Size-65-5dcda2a08d653d8ef50f5b38 She may think she's being helpful to me, but I wonder is she knows she's just being an a$$.

alisonxos @desidooo thank you for posting this. I have just started selling on Poshmark and I’ve been getting low ball offers. It is so irritating.

Nov 19Reply

gaiyac1 @mauishopgirl Maybe it’s because I am not a haggler that I find low ballers particularly annoying. It’s one thing to ask for a discount, it’s another thing to expect me to pay for postage, pay poshmark and you get a free item in return.. There needs to be a threshold on price.

Nov 20Reply

funnyhappychery @blukat I get that people are offering less to try to have room to negotiate, but I had a very expensive coat listed for $200 and somebody offered me $20. Now that’s a Lowball!!!!

Nov 26Reply

funnyhappychery @msimperfeckt lol i’m dying. I sold an item on eBay and she didn’t pay so I did an unpaid item case and forgot to block her. I relisted the item and then she decided she wanted to pay for it. A month later! Then she bought it again and didn’t pay a second time! I blocked her. She messaged me and said she was on SSI! She was just trying to get the basics because her boyfriend stole everything from her! A studded VS balconette is not basic!!! Omg.

irisherin90 @desidooo love it new to Posh. had my 1st lowball offer on a listing 17.00. the posher offered 5.00. I countered 15.00, they countered 7.00. I'm done. I may block her. Ridiculous....

Dec 03Reply

dnaomig This made my day! I have a brand new pair of PJs MSRP is $65 I listed for $60 to allow for negotiation. I offer $54 with offer to likers. Get counter offered $28. I counter offer $42 which would be 30% off and again get counter offered $30. Mind you this is a seller as well. It gets me when another seller low balls you. Like they should know the fees and shipping.

beccamyers123 I just came across this post after googling about buyers lowballing on Posh and thought I’d add my own story. I just had a discussion with a buyer who said the system wouldn’t let her send an offer of $10 including shipping for an item. I explained to her that The system wouldn’t let her because I wouldn’t be making any money after the fees. So she said ‘I will pay $10 for the item and would like free shipping.’ Some people don’t understand that free shipping isn’t free and it blows my mind. 🙃

aryannah11 I am sooooo thankful to have found this thread. I've made a few purchases, good transactions, but I'm more recently new to selling and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. is a low ball offer. It's driving me bonkers! I'm one that made sure right out of the gate to price fair, keeping shipping in mind and a lot of them the payout isn't great for me (but it's better than nothing). There really needs to be an option to turn the offer option OFF. Soon will be back to ebay only.

Feb 18Reply

ivymasters @missmayra__m You should counter offer what you think is fair. Many times I have counter offered with the listed price because I know the price listed was more than a good deal for my customers and I am able to get back $$ for my time invested.

Feb 24Reply

ivymasters @lsjdesigns I do that all the time to let them know that I won't go any lower on the price than what is listed. Sometimes, they even go ahead and purchase the item, but other times they dis me..

Feb 24Reply

vintageeyecandy I offered $10 less than a sellers list price... and that offended them, and they immediately blocked me! I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. Part of having the Best Offer feature is in the haggling. Its usually expected to some degree to haggle. At minimal sellers could state in their description price firm, no offers accepted.

laceybee231 I think it's because they dont want to pay shipping and punish us for that. when I list it on my page it is already at a much lower price. And poshmark takes 20% from us. It has burned me out on selling on here honestly. And people are rude when they get behind a screen! Otherwise they'd get punched in the face.

styledbyanne What an awesome thread! I started selling in Poshmark in 2016 and totally enjoyed doing it in the beginning. People would buy at full price or would offer couple buck under asking price. Now we’re in 2020 and most offers I get are 50% under asking price??! Just now got an offer on $299 pair of high end shoes for $80??! If I wanted $80 I’d price them around $95! I’m not getting why it’s ok to insult someone only because you’re behind the screen miles away?

May 09Reply

jennamichael5 I’m actually new to selling on Poshmark and I’m already getting annoyed! I just got offered $60 on $160 worth of items! And another $111 worth of stuff for $50! Ridiculous. All of my items are in excellent condition some worn once or twice, some not at all! And my prices are lower than most I’ve seen.

May 16Reply

kattmidora Lowballers :-( I respond to their offer on their meet the posher page. I say Hi thanks for your interest /offer on my X item. I offer 10 % off bundles of 3 or more items. Usually this lets then know where I stand. sometimes I will make them a counter offer afterwards...if they keep lowballing then I block them.

May 20Reply

myfunkystuff I'm reading all your comments and I'm wondering how you handle low ball offers. Do you ignore? Message the person? Counter back at full price? I have a bundle priced at $120 and the person offered $62! I'm insulted! BTW both are $110 each pieces NWT

botablu Thanks for this post! I’m asking all of you who are also clearly fed up—to let Posh know! I’ve emailed a few times—including just this week—reiterating that this is the biggest complaint I hear among sellers and that I personally am spending day & night begrudgingly dealing with these insane lowball offers....

Jul 09Reply

botablu I’ve asked Posh to PLEASE change their offer format to either allow offers... OR NOT. And if a seller would choose to allow an offer, they could add a lowest price considered option. This would allow the technology to automatically decline any offers below a certain amount so sellers could actually focus on. guess what? SELLING 🙌🏻 This type of offer format is what some other platforms have done for awhile now... & it’s past time for Posh to implement this too...

Jul 09Reply

botablu . I believe it will not only lessen frustrations for sellers but will assist buyers by lessen their confusion too—Ultimately increasing sales to help Posh too! ☺️ I’m hoping if they get enough requests from you all, that they will actually take this seriously & do it. 🙏🏻

vessyann @desidooo I have been selling for a few months and I’m over people sending ridiculous low offers. I’m very fair with my pricing!! I posted a 3.4 oz of Chanel parfum for $57, and I had someone send an offer for $20! The worst part is when I looked at her items, she had the same fragrance listed for $90, but it wasn’t even full.

Aug 17Reply

sellagram Glad I found this 'chat'. Here's my take: PM, imho, should not allow offers that are 80% lower than the list price.I don't think it should be more than 35%. BUT, even if I get low-balled all day, I just decline and move on. This way, I don't have to deal with counter-offers. Buyers often come back with a higher number (if they want the item). I decline if low-balled #, and counter if workable. If the low-ball price is outrageous, I block.

Aug 19Reply

sellagram 1 more thing.... If the buyer that offers an obnoxious amount is also an experienced PM seller???? then yes, I will immediately block. That is just rude, knowing how PM works. On a rare situation, I will check out their closet and if I like something, I'll toss them a $20 offer on a $100 item. Goose / Gander moral :)

Aug 19Reply

merciless_hero I’ve had people countlessly offer $10 for a shirt that retails for $45, when the listing clearly says I accept only a certain minimum. It’s quite frustrating.

Sep 19Reply

altonfamily I wish that Poshmark would add an option that when you put in a bid you include a comment or question. I am frustrated at a Posher who does not answer my question regarding an item. I submitted a reasonable bid got a counteroffer but she still does not answer my question regarding sizing. As for low ball offers I just counter offer at a reasonable price. If no response I just move on. I don't even get involved in bundles. I prefer to sell items individually.

Sep 25Reply

tracyanne123 Omg, I hear you so much on this! I just listed a NWOT dress that retails for $400, listed for $40, and someone offered me $30 as bundle with it and two other nwt items. Like...dude, it’s new and already at 90% off of the retail price...

Oct 02Reply

katherinevivid Found this post by accident lol Ok but what about when you offer only $3 off the price, the item is used, and there’s no way knowing how used or the age, the seller doesn’t counter or respond, she raises the price on the listing! she could have countered or if she didn’t want to she could have said she was firm on her price on that listing instead of raising it because it is just a few bucks. I would have just bought it. But I’m bitter now and don’t want to even purchase lol

They expect a $225 excellent condition handbag already 60% off at $100, then another 75% off my listed price? am I missing something here? the audacity and nerve are unbelievable! so I would make $20 on a $225 purse! essentially this buyer expected 90% off of retail on a great condition handbag, this is very discouraging and disheartening to say the least! should I just block people like this?

bookieandbas And the worst part is the “yay” you got an offer email! There really should be a way to auto decline absurd “offers” (I know of another major selling platform that respects its sellers time, energy and patience enough to let us set limits on the offers we have to be subjected to... I wish Poshmark valued its sellers enough to do the same)

kellkie @vogue_vintage yes posh Mark does take a lot, but I’ve tried other sites and I’ve sold the most on posh Mark and I’m not trying to make a living doing this, I basically love doing it and I don’t make very much.

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage if someone is looking to make a large profit on posh Mark or the selling sites you really have to sell the high-end items or it’s not they are not going to make a lot of money. Unless you’re selling a lot of items, and then it makes it worth it. I make a pretty good profit on here, but I don’t survive on here, I’m a nursing student and a server

kellkie @vogue_vintage I agree with you on that 100%, there’s some people that are desperate for money and I understand that. And they will sell it for the lowball price.

Stand firm with your prices.

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage I always have to make sure that some of the things aren’t being sold brand new for a cheaper price, because the prices go down for Birkenstocks and things like that, the prices change and they can get them cheaper brand new so we have to stay up with the trend of prices.

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage Yeah I don’t really get anything like that. I live in a town that has mostly like country western And Harley Davidson stuff. I found that Harley Davidson always sells. And there’s quite a few other things that always sell usually no matter what. But sometimes all of a sudden out of the blue that item will stop selling so the trend changes, I’m in nursing school so I don’t have the time i used to.

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage Some sellers just like to make the sale. And I’ve seen some of them drop their price is really low just to get rid of it to bring in the next batch. Some of them are really smart. But either way how Volume or high end, they both make a profit. But I think the high-end makes more, You just have to be patient you’re correct about that. By the way I have found that everything eventually sells

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage oh that’s a great idea. My husband checked one time to see who made more money, the high end or the high volume. And he showed me on the calculator it was clearly the higher end. I sell a lot of jeans, shoes, Nike pullover ‘s, stuff like that. My town is a country western town,I don’t go to the bins in my town because you will get run over. Down here in Florida, they actually have to have a security guard watching over the bins. I don’t even go there. LOL

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage you and I agree on this completely, when I was doing posh Mark for a living it was a little different. But now I go a little lower on my prices. As long as I make something decent.And I try not to sell anything damaged like ever. I try to only sell things that are almost completely brand new. Unless it’s something fabulous.

Jan 08Reply

kellkie @vogue_vintage By the way, where I live the bins are dominated By people selling overseas. And they will sit at Goodwill all day long, and even bring their lunch. It’s insane where I live. Every town is different I guess. But they get everything. I let them have it I don’t even go there.Down in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood Florida, you can’t even shop down there.

heatherbscloset Has anyone had this happen? In the last 3 weeks I’ve had several people, after I’ve made an offer and after it expired say, “ I missed the time limit. I’ll pay x amount of dollars and $5 shipping.“. Or they ask me to make the offer again. I of course tell them I can’t make that same offer for 90 days but I do the math and tell them to make me an offer that would be equivalent to what I had offered. Not one person makes an offer. Is this a scam to see if you reduce another 10%?

birdiepintuck After years of being in high-tech sales, I apply all of my same tactic to POSH. I have a NWT Anthro dress ($45) that received a $9 offer. I countered, and she came up to $10. I found the exact same dress USED from another closet, and sent this note "I don't think we will be able to come to agreement on price, but if you check out XYZ's closet, she has the same dress and size used, closer to your budget at $18". I was able to move on, and spread POSH love to another Closet at the same time.❤

mylemon Just let their low ball offer expires. I think it helps you as a seller because it shows that there’s an active offer to your item and the more active offers there is, it shows your item is popular and in demand.

janddhunt @desidooo I’m kind of new to PM and have a pair of almost new MB shoes listed for $480, and keep getting offers for $300-$350, am I being ridiculous for being insulted by those offers? BTW, love this post and chat below!

desidooo @janddhunt not at all girl. It’s your “store” you make the prices and accept what you want

malimiami Thank you for saying what I have been thinking! I think that Poshmark should have some rules and regulations on offers because it creates a hostile environment when you get low ball offers.

malimiami @mylemon very good point I’ll take that advice!

alehbaba i sometimes lowball to get thier attention as they dont answer questions and most times are inactive anyhow yet let thier listings keep going which is rude.

Jun 27Reply

nu2ushuguru I just wish PM would do something about lowballers. It is such a waste of the seller's time. I think some hope that you accidentally accept the low offer. At least implement an automatic "decline" amount. Maybe then lowballers will get the hint! How do we get PM to do this?

bfisher4002 @desidooo Totally ridiculous some of these offers. I have quite a few Items NWT priced very reasonably, some of these people think I should give the stuff away!

janddhunt @gretchen42 this happens to me a lot. They bundle something, then I send an offer with at least 20% off AND a shipping discount and they never respond. I’m kind of new to Posh, so wondering if I’m doing something wrong? Help!! 😄😄

Aug 08Reply

gretchen42 @janddhunt I’d delete this from your closet and not be aggressive to anyone on here. It turns people off. They want to buy from someone who’s friendly and easy to get along with. I have a short fuse and a smart mouth so the first few years I was on here, I had posts about closet rules and lowball offers. I eventually realized that I m doing this for the money and made that my focus and stopped worrying about low ratings, snotty comments and lowball offers. FWIW, that’s my advice.

outlookstyle Just read this. I agree. I am a great negotiator and would be willing to do that - but not at offering of $12. I have to make enough to go the post office and I love it when you just list an item - at $12 cost you $65 and they offer $9. I'm not even going to pay attention to those anymore. I will sell at $12 - or I will donate.

cherrybowl22 ugh I'm with u...thank u for posting this bc I felt like maybe it was wrong to be mad about this but im not alone

Sep 05Reply

trendygirl353 @cherrybowl22 I’ve been getting really low ball offers. Half when the item is already 60% off. I’ve just decided I’m not dealing with these people at all. I just won’t respond at all.

Sep 11Reply

alisonxos I just had someone low ball offer me $35 dollars for something that I listed as $50.00. Wrote on listing please no low ball offers poshmark takes a huge fee and low ball offers will be blocked. I am sick and tired of these people thinking it’s ok to low ball offers.

Sep 12Reply

cobragirl1123 Need some advice here. Is a $10 offer too low on an item i was selling for $22? I also offered a private sale to them for $17.

Sep 16Reply

stylishacademic ALSO, giving in to the "lowball" means that one undercuts other Poshers selling similar articles. I am stunned by the number of people who try to go 40% below Posh's suggested lowest price. If it's just a matter of haggling over a dollar or two, then I might give in, but recently, a woman offered me a lowball on an already really low price for an item that retails around $80 and when I counteroffered for $1 more, she snubbed it. All those $1-less add up!

Sep 19Reply

sparepart23 Please don't feel you have to respond, but THANK YOU so much for allowing us to vent on here! I have been poshing for many years and I give great discounts. But today's takes the cake: 2 necklaces that retail for $360 in perfect condition, which I priced at $225. Had a woman offer $60. I am flummoxed. (She didn't even use the offer button--just put it in bundle comments). ARGH!

Sep 21Reply

novelloub I try to make my prices fair. I give people one decent counter offer and if they come back with another lower one, I just decline. I am not about playing games.

Sep 21Reply

sarahcoppertop Hmm, this is an interesting perspective.It's not something to be emotional about in my opinion. It's an item and no one is forcing you to agree to a low ball. It's just a number. I've haggled in markets in the middle east and its all about the back and forth. If you make it personal you lose. I'm never insulted by a low ball offer and I've gotten many. If you love the item don't sell it. No one is forcing you to sell or to accept the offer.

Sep 24Reply

sarahcoppertop @desidooo I don't understand how it's insulting. I've never felt that when I get low ball offers.

Sep 24Reply

alehbaba it is insulting mostly when lower prices on items have already happened.

Sep 29Reply

luckyyce Thank you for sharing. When I receive unreasonable offers, I feel being taken advantage of. I believe they make unreasonable offers just because I am selling the great items here myself, not through a chain store. Yet, with more sales being done, I know there are quite a few nice, reasonable buyers there like us. Just believe in the quality of the items we want to sell, and wait for the one who deserves them. Have a great weekend!

desidooo @sarahcoppertop than you so much for sharing your perspective!!! happy poshing

desidooo @sarahcoppertop it's a snarky joke. trust me I'm not insulted

desidooo @anniehaiton just ignore them. people are always going to try to get the lowest cost possible.

Oct 05Reply

artistamongus Thank you so much for this post. I’m relatively new to selling on Poshmark and I already have someone who keeps making the same lowball offer on one of my items. It’s like, if I didn’t accept the first time why do you think I will the third or fourth time? I feel rude ignoring this person, yet another part of me wants to direct her to the etiquette page. Thank you for letting me vent, hope everyone gets good offers. 😁

Oct 23Reply

themagicmoon @desidooo PREACH! 🙌🏼😂💗 I just had someone steal $650 in items on trade. She canceled my items while I was in hospital. Then left me a bad review (hilarious since she stole) & claimed she’s sending a money order for what she kept/returning the rest. Shortly after, she blocked me, changed her name to @poshblogger & - surprise - I’ve never received anything back! Posh knows & won’t ask her to return them. She posts things like “always be kind” or “best seller awards” when she steals from people!!

raindrop357 I have books that I’m trying to sell, $4.00. And they ask for lower. At that point I would be paying them to buy it.

bichonlover24 I’m a new posher, and unfortunately I got lowballed🤦🏼‍♀️I’m all for getting a good bargain but there are a lot of cheapskates out there. I try to be fair for sellers because I know a lot of people are trying to make money or have Poshmark as a side hustle. I was in a place where I was limited on space and was trying to get rid a good portion of my closet. So I accepted the offer.🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ but I’m learning as I’m going to move on and try again.

Nov 24Reply

mylossyouwin I am late to the game on this one but can someone please help me? I sent an offer out and it has expired and someone now wants that same offer (I am willing to accept) but I cannot figure out how to to do it.

Dec 10Reply

cv_consignment I really really wish Poshmark would implement an auto decline percentage like ‘the bay’ does. I get almost exclusively stupid lowball offers. It’s to the point that I don’t even look at offers when they come in anymore. I just assume it’s a ridiculous offer. It’s a lose/lose.

Dec 29Reply

boujeetown I LOVE this post and all the comments! I just made a similar tile and if that gets me kicked off, I will live! The law-balling is just another reason this generation has caused me to wish I could burn down the internet! The items we sell have not fallen off a truck! When they offer me HALF of what I have paid for a NWT Coach product, it's a straight DECLINE! If someone is truly looking to save, I am happy to accept or counter at a REASONABLE price.

gggca @leopardspot Agree!!!

chinchoscloset Lol I love this post. Someone offered me less than 50% of asking price, and I am SO tempted to go to their closet and do the same thing. I understand that it’s business, but some are just so insanely insulting 😂

Jan 26Reply

kimcoopman As a buyer, it's strange to me that poshmark is set up for bartering with offers. I want pay a reasonable price + higher shipping costs now. I'm sorry many of you have gotten really lowball offers but unfortunately now the rest of us are suffering because of it when sellers refuse to respond or counteroffer. And there's no way that I can see of messaging a seller. I wish sellers would counteroffer to state this is my bottom price so I can decide if I want to spend that amount on the item or not.

Feb 14Reply

tyfiny @styles4less3am I know this post is old, but your situation just happened to me, and UGH!!!! I came this post to calm down before I respond to the offer with the same rude energy they had when they offered. Good to know I’m not alone🙌🏽😩💕.

jessicaxoxie I just had someone offer $25 on something I listed for $89... LOL

Mar 09Reply

nu2ushuguru Old post, but yet we still keep commenting. Had someone offer 25 for something at 75 about half price of new, worn once, can't even tell! There is no negotiating this, they will never even come close, what a waste of time, Blocked 🚫 You would think Posh would do something about this, why won't they? It would be so easy to add an auto decline/auto accept or no offers. If Bay can do it, so can they. Posh is an enabler when it comes to this HUGE problem.

rosieandbuffet @blukat what is with you are selling N item for $80. Which is already lowered price. They offer $60. You counter off $70 and they come back with $67. Why do people do this nickel and dime dance? I don’t get it.

blukat @rosieandbuffet ?? 😊

Jun 10Reply

seaboch7 Or ALL the questions that’s been answered a MILLION times in the comments above. They want you to measure, stand on your head for a picture, roll over and play dead while balancing the item on your foot to NEVER have any intentions on buying anyways. I currently have over a $100 bundle that I took items of 4 websites that she’s ignoring me now. Ppl like that are disgusting & dishonest. I would never do that

Oct 06Reply

heykisabels I agree with this! I can’t stand lowballers. They are such a waste of time. There’s even one who haggled for like more than 4 months already. I counter offered and she even asked whether I can lower it a bit, then we met at x$. Then after that conversation, she offered back to the lowball price. Such a waste of time.
