THANK YOU!!! People are so sneaky about it! I'm afraid I am going to lose my Suggested User status for accidently sharing these inspired/replicas. I feel sorry for the ladies that buy these fakes thinking that they are getting authentic items. :(
gracekellie13
@kellidavis05 we need to come together and demand posh does a better job at scanning the posts! Hello if the listing reads "inspired" take it down automatically! Also actually do something when listings are reported! I'm sick of reporting and then seeing the items SOLD!!! Seriously, where is the quality control?!? That's why I left posh end of last year... Had to come back as I just lost my job.
kellidavis05
I totally agree! I was just having this conversation with 2 other friends that I met through Posh. There should be a team that specifically scans/handles reported and unsupported items. I reported a party host NUMEROUS times before her party for used swimwear. The amount of junk being listed is getting out of control.
kellidavis05
Maybe we could get several others to team up and send PM suggestions for improving quality control:)
gracekellie13
@kellidavis05 ewwwe gross! Yes so much junk! And counterfeit items. I agree, count me in! I'm happy to send more emails... Also perhaps public calling out on social media will put more pressure on posh? Maybe we can tweet/ FB images of fake items w the closet name to alert posh and ask what they are going to do?!?
gracekellie13
@kporsenna GOD BLESS YOU! Thanks so much! I really appreciate your prayers and kindness! It's been rough, I keep praying myself. I know God will squeeze me but never choke ... I have faith!
chicbabygirl
Thank you for this great post. I've started going through the closet's I've never seen before I share. Can't tell you how many closets have items that shouldn't be posted. I wouldn't want to think Posh would turn their head just to make a buck😁
gracekellie13
@chicbabygirl feel free to use! Sadly I think we all need to demand posh do more! I've reported closets/ listings and see them open and selling the FAKE items! Very frustrating!
sarrafabulous
I'm okay when it's inspired by/look-a-like and the tell you in the description it's fake. It's another thing when it's fake and they tell you it's real.
gracekellie13
I fully agree @jennalind88 ... please report them... I did several this morning. I also snapped images and sent emails to posh! its just awful and tacky! Well and also ILLEGAL! I would NEVER sell, much less buy something FAKE! Its cheap looking...
gracekellie13
yes @jennalind88 I reported those.... they look FAKE too... and I blocked the seller...
kellidavis05
@jennalind88 Thank you for the tag! I have reported her listings. Obviously people don't read the rules. Inspired items aren't allowed even if it says "inspired" in the description. I agree, they need to be called out! We need to keep this up, alert FB Posh friends and constantly report! I will be emailing PM today.
gracekellie13
@kellidavis05 @jennalind88 I too reported and sent emails! This girl is blocked and I left a note on her TL... Nothing nasty just that the item is fake! The more people do this the better I think! I'm just so sick of seeing the fake crap sell!
kismetbazaar
Yes, Thank You! ❤️
gumbob
@gracekellie13 So sorry to hear of your job loss 🙏🏻. There is an incredibly alarming rate of bizarre things going on. I know other Poshers report & nothing is done. I actually emailed Poshmark Support on this issue & received a very interesting response. They stated lots of things but.....a lot of prohibited items are hosts, suggested users &/or top 10%.
gumbob
@gracekellie13 I follow Poshmark rules but it makes me sad when I bust by behind & then see this stuff. Oh well, I just mind my own business......I can't control the actions of others. We all have to read the guidelines when signing up?!?
gracekellie13
yes its crappy to see nothing being done @gumbob .... the only reason I came back on posh was because of my job loss... I left posh as I was so tired of reporting FAKE items and then seeing them sold! I think if more of us report and email posh directly and take to social media to openly expose the illegal items... maybe we will get a response??!?!
gracekellie13
I feel if we take images of these people breaking the rules and call them out on social media... a little public pressure maybe ?!?! @gumbob its VERY annoying
gracekellie13
Of course @vikkyrdh 😎👍🏻
jules_fern
Exactly! 🙌🙌

@gracekellie13 Jenn, opps! TY! If you would like to sign up today, my sheets are located in my handbags category labeled with day & date. I keep the previous day's up for reference! Hope to see you!! 💞🐼
gracekellie13
Yes @mandapanda83 count me in!!!! Heehee! So excited!!!
aliivictoria
I see no problem in selling inspired items. As long as its stated clearly that they are inspired, and not real. Smh. Who cares.
gracekellie13
@allivictoria.... I CARE... FAKES ARE ILLEGAL AND LOOK CHEAP!
laurajane_style
@brbrrychick88 is one of them!
patepies
Agree!!!
kdean11
Thank you for this post- I agree.. It's in their rules, but not enforced and ruins it for people that don't sell or support fakes!
gracekellie13
@kdean11 that's why I've made several graphics and have several postings to make it clear in sick of the fakes! Feel free to use as well 😎👍🏻
lisadraper
I don't even know what Kendra Scott is...lol...but they were fake?
gracekellie13
Yes very fake @lisadraper she's a local designer from Texas... She's expanding all over the U.S.
lisadraper
well I reported...but have never hear of her...lol I don't get out much lol
gracekellie13
Thanks for reporting! Her story is pretty cool, very inspiring. @lisadraper her items are so cute too! I sold a pair of earring on here.
lisadraper
I'll have to look her up :))
sublimefeline
@sarrafabulous NO. INSPIRED IS STILL FAKE AND NOT ALLOWED AND ILLEGAL AND AGAINST POSH RULED WHETHER THEY TELL YOU OR NOT.
sublimefeline
@aliivictoria The FEDERAL GOV CARES! THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE TASK FORCE TO TRACK DOWN AND PROSECUTE MANUFACTURERS AND SELLERS OF COUNTERFEIT (INSPIRED) DESIGNER ITEMS. PLUS. AGAINST RULES HERE...WE ALL CARE
poshlove78
This has been happening with clothes also. I went through an entire closet yesterday. Everything was marked as Brandy Melville. Then in the listing it said Brandy dupo. I didn't know dupo meant duplicate :(. So know when I'm searching for Brandy Melville clothing all I see is her Levis and tee shirts :(
gracekellie13
@poshlove78 make sure you report the listings and take a screen shot and email posh... the more of us that do this... hopefully we can get the criminals off here!
original_couve
@gracekellie13 I want to start tagging people on this!!! 💖 💖 💖
gracekellie13
Lol do it! I'll block them too! @conniemarie12
lovelylexii46
Posh has gotten better, like whenever I set my items at a low price for a trade they make me certify that I am not selling a replica and it says they will double check!
gracekellie13

gracekellie13
So lcjluv2shop decided to tag me on her fake chanel earrings... she has several fake items in her closet- FYI @conniemarie12 @lisadraper @kellidavis05 @sublimefeline I have reported her listings and blocked her!
sublimefeline
@gracekellie13 How do I search for a seller?
gracekellie13
@sublimefeline on a PC, top of the screen there is a search box and just place their screen name in there and it will find it!
lisadraper
👍 gone
gracekellie13
Woohooo great work @lisadraper and @sublimefeline thanks ladies!!!!
gracekellie13
@sublimefeline blocked& reported all!
sublimefeline
@gracekellie13 Watch out for seller darla1128. Her entire closet is cheap counterfeit designer items and most are sold!! Never commented in her closet, but she made a rude comment on my (OF COURSE Authentic) Kate Spade Tote listing about it being a rag (I took listing down). Stop her before she sells more. Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
gracekellie13
@sublimefeline tks for heads up!
mollys3
I'm with you, ladies! This is just not right! I'm also offended by Posher's that buy cheap items from China (many times in bulk) and list and sell for triple the price! If you don't have integrity you're in real trouble! Some of these gals have no integrity!
dawnleeds
@gracekellie13 @sublimefeline I always report people! One girl was selling personalized coffee cups?!?!?!?!. Lots of kids clothes and men's clothes too. My husband keeps asking me to sell his Stuff but I say NO! Not on Posh. 😇
gracekellie13
@dawnleeds that's cause you have integrity! Lots of shady sellers on here and I feel posh turns a blind eye! Hence my taking a break... Only can handle so much!
fairy_tale
@gracekellie13 Hello, I'm new to posh and is disgusted by all fake bags being sold. How can I report. Thank you!
gracekellie13
Hi @fairy_tale welcome to posh! Well you can click the listing and if you're in mobile there is an option at the top corner a box w a little arrow click and you shall see some options "report listing" is one also you can screen shot image and email their customer service... It's a bummer that so many fakes are on here! So always look at buyer ratings and past sales comments... Hope that helps and don't get discouraged... It's deflating trust me, however there are awesome women on here as well!
sunshineamine
I always ask the user if the bag/item is authentic, and if they tell me it is when it is clearly not, I call them on it and ask if they were aware. Some people take them down then. If they're rude, I report. Otherwise if I see a straight up replica or inspired item I just report it. Similar styles to designer from legit brand = FINE. Complete fakes= NOT OKAY. Most of the replicated items unfortunately produced in slave labor situations. :/ Uhhgg I feel like I report at least one listing a day.
pralinequeen
This illegal, "you can go to jail for" fraud has been committed not only by the hand bag black market, Swarovski Crystal has been flagrantly used, when I know for a fact the majority are not. If you concentrate your efforts to report illegal activity first, that would probably be about 20% engaged in illegal activities such as patent infringement and fraud. All fraud committed against copyrights, licensed, and patent holding entities can result in jail time.

@gracekellie13 @sunshineamine @pralinequeen @fairy_tale @conniemarie12 @poshlove78 @lisadraper @west3631 Hi all I am new to posh. Was told about it from friends. Do you have a group that you started or more pages with fake items. I want to get rid of them right now. Thanks for the info
gracekellie13
Hi @apgirl welcome! I reported the belt! Stick to us good poshers!
lisadraper
@apgirl Thanks for the tag sweets i reported...still there : /
annad421
UGH I SO agree!!! So sick of having to pay more to guarantee items are authentic!!! Stop selling fakes and none of us would have do that.. but people keep on buying... So people stop buying known fakes :) there problem solved :)) lol but I TOTALLY agree!!
gracekellie13
@alexandriaas contact support or try and cancel your order. Good luck!
jazziimariee
@apgirl I just purchased a fake LV clutch and sent them an email. Actually three. I better get my refund too. This has to ✋🏻 stop.

@kellidavis05 I'm in and totally agree .
maleconsingment
@gracekellie13 you can't do that I got a warning for doing so. They call it harassment or bullying if persist

@gracekellie13 not to mention against Posh policy .

Hi Grace I'm Leslie I work at Louis Vuitton and I don't want to different sites to locate fake or illegal items I went on tonight and found over 30 counterfeit Louis Vuitton's can you tell me if Poshmark does anything about this
leslienyc35
As soon as I see a fake Louis I contact the seller and they block me then I write posh Mark any counterfeit item is still listed as an employer of Louis Vuitton I'm out raged
leslienyc35
Thank you so much for helping stop counterfeit items on Poshmark

leslienyc35
@gracekellie13 if u see any Louis Vuitton replicas please let me know will send to my company. Louis Vuitton knows now that posh is allowing sellers to sell replicas

Fake Vuittons Pt. 1 Last night I found many fake LV purses on Poshmark, far more than I see on eBay. __{ Posh seller @gyiooh323 }__ That’s a name you’ll want to remember: every item in her closet is a counterfeit Louis Vuitton, about 15 in total. My message to her about the 1st one I saw was mild...but then I saw another fake, which was her’s as well. Then another, and another. And another! So I went into her closet, Cont’d...
7cochise7
Every item in gyiooh323 ‘s closet was a counterfeit Louis. I’m on my 5th “It’s a FAKE,” to her when I noticed she pulled a couple down. I told her what she was doing was not only highly illegal but that she was bad too. Every item I wrote “FAKE” on, getting angrier and angrier as I did so, and when I’d called everything in her closet counterfeit I figured I’d best act fast before she blocked me. Cont’d...
7cochise7
Immediately I added all in her closet to a bundle, and then I took a few screen shots of each piece. I’ll write to Kevin at Posh tomorrow and tell him about her, pics included. eBay has been sued twice by LV for allowing fake Vuittons to be sold on their site, and we’re talking big money here. Posh has FAR MORE fake LVs than eBay, which leads me to think Posh isn’t on top of this at all... which is scary for those not too familiar with the brand.
gracekellie13
@mydooneycloset ive had this up for YEARS... PM hardly does anything... 😒 got off this for a while cause I was so sick of seeing the fakes ... I’ve returned as I recently lost my job and need to make ends meet. Trust me, lots of folks have left because they turn a blind eye!
gracekellie13
@mydooneycloset exactly... they have no integrity at all... very sad... that’s why we stick to good share groups and keep our spirits up! Sending you prayers🙏🏼❤️
gracekellie13
@mydooneycloset 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 just focus on the good positive folks on here! Seriously if not my blood pressure boils!
jsol80
Hi guys, I made my first purchase over a week ago and received my item only to find out they were fakes!!! I filed a claim and I will be getting my money back.
jsol80
Snwhiterose is the account 😡
ddelgado990
I made my first purchase Gucci belt and it's a fake. I sent email to postmark waiting on a response but is there a way to contact seller?
Sorry I am new to this site
gracekellie13
@ddelgado990 i would let posh handle it- that’s awful... I’d block the seller... always stick to closets that have several transactions and feedback- you can also look at the rating ....
ddelgado990
@gracekellie13 thank you very much for your response. I sent them an email and waiting on a response. The package was delivered on Friday but I was out of town..do you know if it's 3 business days?
gracekellie13
@ddelgado990 yes they automatically credit the seller after three full days- that’s why it’s so important to be there when you receive packages to immediately communicate with Posh if it’s a fake. Also as a seller, I rush to get my items out and have stellar communication - only to have the package delivered and find out my buyer is on vacation... so that hurts me from getting my funds asap- I have to wait... so if people are going to be gone they should communicate
goghsbae
@gracekellie13 Nika2424 is selling fake Gucci & Goyard bags
amoc2001
thank you!!! Totally agree!!!
cotondogmom
pmaya0047188 is selling fake Chanel and Gucci, I’ve reported each listing but nothing has happened. I’m a bit skeptical buying designer goods on Poshmark because of so many illegal counterfeits.
gracekellie13
@dkcausey report the listings and the user- I just did - ask any other posh friends to do the same! I’d also email support w images of item & her listing stating “inspired” ie fake ie illegal ... I did
cotondogmom
@gracekellie13 Thanks, I used the report button in the middle of the page to report the listing. How do I report the seller too?
gracekellie13
@dkcausey when you’re in the closet top right corner has a little box/ arrow will give you options and you can report her that was as well
cotondogmom
Thank you! My house was burglarized and my coveted Chanel, YSL, Lana Marks, Judith Leiber and other handbags were stolen so I’ve been trying to replace them. I’m sick of wading through the illegal counterfeits. I appreciate your help. 🙂
gracekellie13
@dkcausey your home owners or renters should help - honestly I’d go to the actual store/ website if I could afford it! I’ve quit posh several times because of all the fakes ... I recently lost my job so I’m trying to pay bills and parting ways with all my authentic items.
cotondogmom
@gracekellie13 My homeowners paid replacement value only for clothing, shoes and accessories. Jewelry, I got full appraised value but I’d much rather have my things back. I hope you find another job soon, if you’re like I am you’re attached to the treasures in your closet. Good luck.
gracekellie13
Hi @marlanap hope all is better soon for you- I forgot to share yesterday and did it this morning for yesterday and today!
marlanap
@gracekellie13 Thanks Very Much for your kind thoughts. I got some down time to post a few items and chill out so I am relieved I could do both. You have been doing GREAT with the Sharing. Thanks for Making Sure You Post Your Sign Outs. Overall, our Group does way better than some others. So that is Always Reassuring. Have A GREAT rest of the week. XO
02yellowbird
AMEN!!!
gracekellie13
@02yellowbird it’s gotten worse on here and now they just allow anything like a cheap garage sale 🙈😩
