Sad and very true! Thank you for posting this.
Posh has not figured out the balance between seller protection and brand integrity.
Never buy based on only 🚫Stock photos🚫!
Anyone who isn’t convinced check out aliexpress (dot com) and you will see where the abundance of replicas come from.
lillelelime
@megdragon Yes! I wish Posh did more to combat these sellers, but it’s so hard to keep up since it feels like there are a dozen popping up every day! I’ve now added a few screenshots from aliexpress to show where most of these charms come from. The average cost for these fake charms are around only $7, imagine the profit these sellers are making by ripping people off!

@lillelelime Thanks for the advertiser. It's so sad, that people do that. For me is turned suspicious when sellers has a post saying. I have any sizes and colors all brand new. To me sound like a Pandora retailers.
brittmillard831
@luzguerra hello, I am commenting because I may one of the ones that get flagged by this post and would like the opportunity to speak my side. I realize I also may be the exception to be rule in this case
brittmillard831
. I own a local boutique here in my hometown of Ohio. The concept of my store is to offer name brand items at near wholesale pricing. I Buy a lot of estate jewelry and things like that however recently a lid ended pandora retailer approached me asking if I would buy out their merchandise as they were closing and Pandora will no longer buy out their flagship stores. I had to put up a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money to make this possible, however like any other business decision it was an investment.
brittmillard831
I purchased roughly about 700,000 dollars in retail but at a low enough price that I was able to offer it in my store to the public at a much discounted rate. Also what many people may not know is pandora recently signed a contract with Walmart allowing drop shipping through their sight. This send a lot of private boutique who detailed Pandora into a frenzy, causing them to want to sell.
brittmillard831
AGAIN IN UNDERSTAND I MAY BE A RARE CASE however posts like these can harm the small business owner who is trying to feed her family. Finally the sellers who are doing this need to understand that it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL.
brittmillard831
Pandora is very good at brand protection and will legally Persue those who are falsely selling their items. There is a heavy penalty and their business WILLbe shut down. I personally don’t feel like a $30 dollar charm from China is worth the hundred of thousands of dollars I’ve invested but that’s just me.
brittmillard831
I will start to encourage everyone when I post my items to have them authenticated through Pandora as of my inventory was given to me in Pandora’s original upc bags, sold to by a pandora retailer and I have no fear of authenticity. For those sellers who are making it difficult to run an honest business SHAME ON YOU!
tjacks529
I agree with this post except 1 thing, I have an extensive collection of Pandora and sometimes I have more than one of the same charm because I like balance. I always used the same clips on my bracelets while some people like to use 2 different clips. I have quite a few pieces that were never worn because I was a collector and I knew they had to be unused in order to keep their value. I would encourage anyone to take their items to a Pandora store for authenticity🤗
lillelelime
@brittmillard831 You may be an exception to the rule, but keep in mind that unfortunately you are selling items that are often made into fakes and you’re selling on a platform where a lot of this happens. If you’re selling authentic, then that’s great.
lillelelime
@brittmillard831 The least a buyer can do to cover themselves is to to get the item(s) checked at a Pandora store within three days of receiving the item(s) and prior to acceptance. If the item(s) are authentic then the buyer should accept and release the funds to the seller. If it’s not authentic, then the buyer should not accept and a case should be opened with Poshmark. That way it’s fair for both the buyer and seller👍🏻
brittmillard831
@lillelelime agreed the process sucks. I will make sure to include in all of my listings a reminder to have items authenticated as a way to continue to spread the word! You warnings does help people in my position. As well to help weed out the fakes. As I said it is highly illegal the one thing we can all do is immediately report the seller and if enough reports are filed then hopefully we can get these users removed!
lillelelime
@tjacks529 I’m usually able to tell if a seller is selling fakes JUST by looking at their page. You take your own photos and they don’t look too “posed”. You also have a lot of retired items. Most fake/replica sellers sell newer released charms. There’s also a lot of charms that seem to be replicated more often than others (Mickey/Minnie character heads, pink bloom charms, etc). Also, the fact that you are selling a lot of “personal” items says a lot too.
lillelelime
@tjacks529 But I’m sure you can see for yourself that almost all of these sellers that have a lot of new items in stock are selling China fakes that re worth nothing. Honestly, it’s not too hard to spot a fake seller if you know what to look for. Like I said above and you just stated yourself, the best thing for both a buyer and seller is for a buyer to go to Pandora for authentication😊
tjacks529
@lillelelime I totally agree with you! I have seen so many fakes especially the mickey/Minnie charms. I feel bad for people that get duped. Thank you for trying to educate buyers💕
joannk
Always have charms authenticated. I have been screwed ever charms. These sellers were shut down.
smxcollectables
@megdragon I’ve purchased 2 sets of Mickey and Minnie charms that were FAKE
cremedalacreme
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
bmmt
Thanks for the info.will be on the look out..just started purchasing the pandora charms.
mtex37
Agreed!!! I’ve been collection pandora for 5+ years and I can say that replicas are stepping up the game 100%!
Are there any posh sellers here who do sell authentic charms that you would recommend? There are several big closets but I’m skeptical of the big closets with hundreds of listings
lillelelime
@mtex37 I honestly don’t know of any reputable sellers. Most of the time if they have multiple new listings, the charms are not authentic. I’ve only purchased from sellers who have just a few used pieces, and you can tell that it’s from their personal collection. Even then the first thing I do before accepting the item(s) is go to Pandora and have them look at the charms. It’s not worth the risk, in my opinion🤷🏻♀️
jessvonsix
@brittmillard831 has the best pandora inventory I LOVE. They shine like diamonds so you know they are real!!i I gave her 5 stars for my purchases so much check her reviews.... but @shara01 is a complete fake should I go to pandora directly about the seller bc she seems to have made way too much money on garbage charms. I got the wrong order and very decent fake Mickey and a super dull Clare’s like quality radiant heart and the fakest orchid charm. All fakes confirmed
brittmillard831
@jessvonsix thank you for the kind reviews :)
mrsgottahave
Sad my daughter shops on here a lot thank you so much for the heads up

Thank you so much for the heads up!

@lillelelime
I had a post like this in my closet because I've been on posh for quite some time and I buy & sell charms here to and poshmark deleted my post because someone complained. There are tons of fakes here ladies buyers beware of what you buying. Poshmark doesnt do anything about selling fakes because that's their money they are making off of innocent people. Its sickening!!
stephanieredhes
@lillelelime
I had a lady who bought a real solid gold charm in my closet, she received the charm then told posh it was fake then they asked her to send it back and she sent me back an EMPTY envelope an dosh did nothing!!!! Its such BS! It took me threatening with the local news station before I got my money but never my charm I cried and cried because of how posh treated me.
stephanieredhes
Ladies please be aware of what u are buying, I will gladly help u out by verifying because even the most sophisticated charms now look real ots very difficult to tell nowadays. Just tag me in the post. I have many years of books and charms myself. I will help u determine real or fake charms and other pieces.
stephanieredhes
@lillelelime
THANK YOU FOR THIS LISTING!!
lillelelime
@stephanieredhes Of course! I’m doing what I can to let people know since Posh does absolutely nothing against these buyers.. All they want is their 20% cut. I see more fake Pandora on here than real, unfortunately. It’s so sad
lillelelime
@stephanieredhes And I’m sorry a buyer did that to you, people can be so messed up☹️
stephanieredhes
@lillelelime
It's ok honey. It's not your fault!! That's poshmark for you! And you are doing an amazing job!!! Keep it up!! I'm rooting for u!!!!🙋♀️💕💕
prettymommy01
@stephanieredhes...hi hun, thank you for this. I have bought a few pandora pieces today alone. Not to mention the 3 bracelets i have bought and filled...ugghh, I'm just sick to my stomach that these females buy charms from china, and sell for tripple, if not more.. I'm deaf gonna tag u if thats ok..thanks again
lillelelime
@prettymommy01 Honestly the fakes are so so good it’s really hard to tell☹️ I can tell the difference when directly comparing with the authentic charms on Pandora’s site. High number of Pandora items in the closet usually means they’re fake. Feel free to tag me and I’ll do my best by responding on this post.
prettymommy01
@lillelelime....thanks, will do!!
lillelelime
@prettymommy01 Regarding the pieces you’ve purchased, the best thing to do is NOT ACCEPT the item. You have two days after receiving to go to a Pandora store and have them authenticate it. If they are fake, open a case with posh and they’ll let you send it back for a refund. Unfortunately Poshmark doesn’t try to get rid of fakes due to the fact that they make so much money off of the sales..
lillelelime
@prettymommy01 I just viewed your purchase history based on the “love notes” you gave.. The most recent, heart dangle with cubic zirconias, is unfortunately definitely fake. The two hearts/red enamel one is authentic. You can also tell because she isn’t only selling Pandora, she sells a mixture of personal items. Pandora NEVER lets employees buy to resell.
lillelelime
@prettymommy01 @prettymommy01 “LOVE” charm looks good to me, although no clear image of stamp so can’t be 100% sure. The safety chain and the other look good as well, but I would definitely still have it checked since the fakes now are so good. Do you have a Pandora store near you by any chance?
cas19
@prettymommy01 you can definitely take it to pandora to verify authenticity. I’ve had people go before rating my items so they can verify I sell genuine items. I’m aware of many fakes & I honestly don’t even know where they get them from nor will I ruin my reputation of selling genuine. I’ve shared this listing many times before 😄
lillelelime
@cas19 Yup, exactly! I’ve sold Pandora on here too. It sucks for those of us who sell authentic items. It wasn’t like this when I first started on here, so it’s so sad to see it like this now. I’ve taken every single pandora piece I’ve bought on here to get authenticated at Pandora. It also drives the value of authentic pieces down since the fake charms are marked as new and sell for such good prices☹️
cas19
@lillelelime it really does b/c poshers are like “I purchased this charm from another posher”. Like OK why don’t you buy it again & btw it’s fake 🤦♀️. I’ve seen a lot of bracelets with charms that the bracelet doesn’t even say pandora & buy it anyway b/c they liked the price. I price mine close to retail & most of the times I get reasonable offers. Definitely tough though. & the poshers helping others away from fakes get banned 😓
cas19
@lillelelime I mean ppl say “I bought this charm for cheaper at another poshers closet can I buy it at the price I bought it at. Like no hunny that’s too low & they get upset. I send good deals from time to time but if I’m not getting back what I spent I’m just gonna keep it posted till I do. Also I get heated when ppl steal my photos. Which is why most of mine are watermarked but even then it’s hard to sell on here. Fees are high & people want charms for dirt cheap. Appreciate the shares ❣️
lillelelime
@cas19 I completely understand the frustration. It bothers me that Posh doesn’t seem to care about protecting buyers. I’ve personally reported these sellers/closets multiple times but Posh doesn’t care because they get a nice stack of cash from the 20%. So so sad.
cas19
@lillelelime yessss. I’m looking forward to selling all of my pandora items. I’ll probably have a limited qty. keeping up with these low priced fakes is hard. I’d love to have a page with comparisons of the real charms vs fake but I’m trying to stay on posh not me banned 😭🤦♀️
blondy27
@lillelelime wow, good to know! Thanks! Never heard before about Pandora fakes.I knew about similar looking, but not good fakes🙀I was looking to buy specific ones,which are not available in the store, and wondered so many people are have amaizing quantities for sell?!?But I’m very happy with the 2 sellers I bought from.
blondy27
@lillelelime And PM policy said “no fakes”, but it’s full with fake LV! The pictures are shouting that it’s fake and people still asking”authentic”?!?Seriously?For real?!🙈
lillelelime
@blondy27 Please be careful! I just checked the sellers you purchased from and they seem fishy. Especially the one you purchased the tremble clef charm from.. I compared the charms I have (same style/item as the ones she’s selling) and they look off.. And yes, Poshmark doesn’t protect buyers like they should, unfortunately. Profit over everything, it seems☹️
blondy27
@lillelelime oh, I’m checking now with my magnifying glass😂😂😂And thanks again for the warning. I read all the comments and will be triple careful in the future. I’m quite new to the platform and got exited at the beginning, but now will know. 💖
lillelelime
@blondy27 You’re welcome! Always always take the charm into Pandora to have them check it before you accept the charm if you can. And if they have dozens of highly “posed” pandora charms/items, then it’s most probably fake😕
blondy27
@lillelelime @lillelelime oh, you’re so right! I’m so not a fan of any fakes! My daughter now is telling me “mom that Murano you bought from Poshmark is not glowing in the dark(and all originals are glowing)! I’m so disappointed, but can’t do anything as I already accepted the purchase. 😢
darlenebmiller
I have bought soooooo many charms on posh, am now upset thinking some could be fakes... II have purchased from one of the poshers on this, they seem real but have not had any authentication .....some sent an extra gift and those I could easily tell were not real.. mostly disney. Should be a list of who not to expect real Pandora from😩
lillelelime
@darlenebmiller @blondy27 Wow, one of the people selling fakes just had the AUDACITY to comment on this listing. Marked spam and BLOCKED. She is selling obvious fakes. One charm included is a Pandora France exclusive (Eiffel tower with gold heart) and it retired years ago (I was in France this past summer and they told me so!). When they did have it, it retailed for upwards of the $100 equivalent. Fake seller sold it for around $24 and is passing it off as real. Wow.
lillelelime
@darlenebmiller @blondy27 I literally sat there and compared my Eiffel Tower charm to one she had sold and a whole literal part of the stamp is missing on hers, not to mention small details like parts of the Eiffel Tower having two separate “bars” rather than the one on hers. The work on these fakes will never be as “clean” as Pandora, no matter how hard they try. Just the fact that she knows she sells fakes and had the guts to comment on here..😡
darlenebmiller
@lillelelime I’m usually pretty careful and try to enlarge the pictures, look descriptions of who they “are” .... and as you say there are differences but I am far from an expert...... all the same it is a shame dishonest people ruin it for everyone.....
bianca1127
Svpruitt407 is a seller of replicas, ladies beware. I purchased a ring and advised poshmark and they released funds. I took it to Pandora and compared
It side by side
lillelelime
@bianca1127 Yes, she is among the dozens of sellers on here selling “good” fakes. So glad you caught it you were given your money back. Her account is still up and running, which says a lot about Poshmark..
lillelelime
caught it and you*
bianca1127
@lillelelime so actually I told them just to alert them but what happened is I took the ring to Pandora and then I let them keep it. They gave me a discount on a ring so it was worth it. I alerted Poshmark and they said nothing!!!😬😒 I tried reporting her listings but she was so rude to me saying she bought the item herself when her about me says it’s from pawn shops. How can we get her suspended?
lillelelime
@bianca1127 You can’t do anything, unfortunately. I’ve spent so much time reporting listings and Poshmark doesn’t care. They earn a 20% cut from all sales, so they don’t care that the items are not authentic. It’s sad really.
bianca1127
@lillelelime wow!!!! But they authenticate the more expensive stuff so that’s odd. Thank you for your listing and thank you for replying to me. ♥️
bianca1127
@alexita96 I am tagging you because I noticed you had liked an item from a fake Pandora seller I purchased from. Just sharing the knowledge 😊😊
bianca1127
@lillelelime what about chillsinguita00? Have you seen her page?
bianca1127
Chilsnguita00
lillelelime
@bianca1127 Yes, not authentic. That was one of the first fake Pandora sellers I saw pop up on here.
bianca1127
@lillelelime I think lesson is don’t buy pandora on here 😔💆🏻♀️
lillelelime
@bianca1127 Yup, pretty much unfortunately.. I have bought pandora on here, but it has always been used and it’s usually from a seller who has only that one Pandora item listed and a bunch of other personal items (usually clothing). Even then, I’ve taken it to Pandora to authenticate before accepting the purchase.
bianca1127
@lillelelime smart lady! 😊😊 i have bought 2 authentic Pandora items on here too and now I realized 2 fake ones! 😒 you live and learn! Have a wonderful night and thank you again! ♥️

Hi thanks for sharing I just had a case of it’s posh I got a mk purse and it wasn’t like she said there was a mark on the one handle and their was white stuff on the inside of one compartment and two piece of hair on the other side she lied and said it came with tags no tags came with it I was so upset.,
jody_hernandez
Thank you
jody_hernandez
Do you sell pandora
tjacks529
@blondy27 I just read your note, and even though you can't get your money back, you can write to Posh and tell them. They will at least make a note about the seller, and hopefully if they get a few they will pull the account! Sorry that happened to you💕
tjacks529
@bianca1127 I worked for Pandora and if you write to them directly, they may do something....its worth a try🤗
tjacks529
Please be aware: THERE ON A TON OF FAKE MURANOS BY 3 DIFFERENT SELLERS!!!! When I questioned why I couldnt find one gals muranos in any of my Pandora catalogs, she answered, "I have documentation". Really??? whats that? 🤣 She managed to delete my question but keep only her comment back. SMH. Also, If you see 10 charms that look brand new, worth over $500 selling for $65, THEY ARE FAKE!
bianca1127
@tjacks529 thank you ☺️
bianca1127
@tjacks529 Thank you ☺️
lilliewendy
I buy from a couple people on her that sell strictly Pandora BUT, I ALWAYS take whatever I purchase to Pandora the day I get it to have it authenticated before I acceptable order! ❤️
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 I’m glad you realized and opened a case, unfortunately most people don’t ever realize it😕 And of course, I’m always glad to spread awareness
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 Hi there. Unfortunately, Pandora has not come out with a charm that looks anything like that☹️ Not that I’m aware of, anyway. I did a bit of research as well and it didn’t come up. Country exclusives usually have multiple collector blog posts about them online. I would open a case and return it if you are able to. Sorry😕
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 No problem!
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 There is no regional exclusive evil eye. There is only a sterling silver one that looks like it being sold on Etsy and other Chinese websites. You would see multiple collector blogposts about it.
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 The one on EBay is not an authentic Pandora charm
lillelelime
In fact, the entire stock of that eBay seller is fake Pandora. I can’t believe she’s actually selling the fake of a Pandora charm that doesn’t even exist🤦🏻♀️
ramoska89
Hi! I just read your post and I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I just found a seller poshcharms. They are selling the new China exclusive peach bloom for a very reduced price, can you tell me if it's fake? I looked and looked at it and it looks very real but idk.
lillelelime
@ramoska89 I have personally seen that seller and all of their charms are fake. Yes, it is very hard to tell as they are very convincing fakes. They’re getter better and better at creating them. Regional exclusives will almost NEVER be sold online unless they are hiked up 3 times the original price and they are sold by reputable collectors. Like a stated above, any seller that sells multiple Pandora items is a huge red flag. Be very careful😕
ramoska89
@lillelelime thank you so much! I appreciate the help. How sad that their fakes are better and better! :(
lillelelime
@ramoska89 You’re so welcome! And yes, it’s very sad. Most buyers never even realize they have fakes until months after when their charms start to tarnish☹️ Even though I’m mildly knowledgeable when it comes to Pandora, I usually do not purchase from sellers on posh and other online sites.
lillelelime
I am able to see which sellers sell fakes by comparing my authentic charms from Pandora with the “same” charms they are selling which are just fakes of the ones I own. I have not found ONE seller on posh that sells dozens of charms that is authentic😕
lillelelime
@jennadarsi_ No problem! I posted hoping I can help at least one person avoid getting scammed
lillelelime
@jennadarsi_ Yes, it’s so unfortunate! I used to buy charms on here before there weren’t too many fake sellers, but now they’re everywhere and have GLOWING reviews so buyers unfortunately think they’re legitimate😕
lillelelime
@jennadarsi_ Omg, DY is a whole other issue! 95% of DY on Poshmark is now fake! I’m not sure what happened, but it wasn’t like this a few months ago. All these fakes started popping up
lillelelime
@ghumbert5150 Guys, the site RueLala occasionally sells authentic Pandora charms that are retiring! That’s the only place I now buy besides the actual Pandora store
cindybug555

Could you help me decide on a listing?
armercer1
@stephanieredhes Aww, I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve been treated the same way by Poshmark. Not about charms, but same bad treatment.
ocelotalot
@lillelelime hi!! I came across this thread while trying to figure out if the charm I just purchased is real. I’ve never bought one before and it’s a gift for a collector I know. Do you have any idea if @ dreamgifts4u on posh sells real charms? I bought a retired Winnie the Pooh hunny charm for my friend. I’ll try to spare the time to go to pandora and check it out in person but time is a little restricted right now for me.
theclosetkat
Hi, I know this is an older listing but I just purchased a Pandora bracelet with charms a few days ago and asked the seller to cancel my order because it looks like a lot of the charms are fakes. She told me I needed to "educate" myself on jewelry but I am 90% sure she is incorrect with saying they are authentic. Do you mind checking the listing out? The user is skites66
angelamarie14xo
I received a fake Disney murano Pandora charm from a seller. She tried to say that because she sold an authenticated bracelet before that I should believe ALL of her charms are authentic. I already had an authentic version of the charm (I just wanted another) to compare it to.. so I could see the differences.
angelamarie14xo
I disputed the purchase within 3 days showing my proof that it was fake and Poshmark still closed the case in the seller’s favor, saying it didn’t meet return requirements. What else do you have to do to prove you were sold a fake?! The seller admitted to me that she buys a lot of her charms from Poshmark to resell... so maybe she didn’t intentionally sell me a fake, but it was fake!! I compared it to my real one that I bought from the store
myalexis23
@lillelelime what about atomicblonde24? Fakes? From your experience, what sellers on here sell authentic Pandora? Thanks.

@dalemacaz good morning. I see that u contacted her , lol. If those cc harms are fake vs, I'm in gonna report her Poshmark. II don't even be have a tracking number yet.
dalemacaz
@mblair53 yes I saw that she hasn’t mailed anything yet. She didn’t like what I was saying and blocked me lol
dalemacaz
@mblair53 I see that posh removed all of her listings. I guess you’ll be getting a refund!
mblair53
@dalemacaz Good morning. Really ????? wow !!!!!
cburdelle
i haven’t read all of the above comments but this is so true! i’ve seen so many accounts with hundreds of “Pandora charms” - of course all stock photos and no actual photos. a great way to tell the difference is - sometimes good fakes will still have the S925 ALE but almost always its in a different location than the markings on the authentic Pandora charms.
zapatashamel
I recently purchased from a seller called lucky17style and bought gold charms at a very good price. posh authenticated it as well.
