Hey y'all ๐we love our new poshers and are so glad you have joined us.... BUT a lot of us sellers take great pride in boxing up your purchases, including a thoughtful thank you note or even adding a free gift. I ship same day! It is only kind to at least accept your box when you receive it. Poshmark does NOT pay us until you release payment by accepting your box. Otherwise we have to wait FOUR days to get paid. Please give us the courtesy of accepting your box and/or leaving a love note ๐๐โ๏ธ

katewaz
I love what you wrote in the description, too!!!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐คso perfect!! I might have to add a little of that lol
alaska42
@katewaz Use it girl!! I know I'm still working on my closet and working hard to gain followers, but I am so excited every time I box up a purchase, and it's hard not to take it personal when they don't even accept their box ya know!
katewaz
@alaska42 I hear ya!!! I know, I spend so much time getting packages together! So when I don't get an acceptance it is kind of disappointing:/ like, why did I do all that work? For what lol

Perfectly said! โค๏ธ One buyer rated me on ship time even though I ship same day and it took the post office a longer than expected to deliver the package. Buyers shouldn't rate you on ship time unless they look at the tracking # and what their postage says because the number of shipping days can vary. There's on time to ship from the seller, and on time to ship from the post office. Once it leaves our hands it's all up to the post office ๐
alaska42
@kjansy oh I know!!! As if you personally are every postal worker that hand delivers their package..... I almost quit posh because I made an account in order to make a purchase but never actually became involved till more recently when I put up some items and started selling. My very first sale I sold a sunglasses case that had two small intentions on the top from being in a box. I took a close up photo and detailed it in the description.
alaska42
@kjansy @kjansy oh I know!!! She gave me a low rating because she didn't know there was an indent on it!!! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I'm like you didn't read/look! I was so upset. I can never have a perfect 5 star rating because of her.
suzesloane
I so love when a posher has included pretty tissue paper, ribbon and a nice thank you note with my purchase!! Compare that to someone who merely tosses the item into a box with nothing to say for it. I've received both types and I'll tell you, I'm far more willing to shop a posher who takes care. It has certainly set my own standard for shipping. ๐๐๐
rockcandy4u
Bravo! It's refreshing to hear this!! Yes! I decorate all my packages, colorful crepe paper, fancy cards...i spend a lot of money on making customers feel appreciated...yet when I purchase 9 times out of 10 it's just thrown in a box, rattling, no card, no Thankyou. On the ot her hand, afyer all the things I do...ive had 3 people give me horrible 1 stars or 2 because the USPS took their time shipping.. .or maybe they were in a bad mood. Really??? I get so uptight. That S all ๐
alaska42
@dawn2u777 this!! I really like doing it, and I've only sold a dozen or so things, but pretty much every single purchase has been from new poshers and now I'm just like ๐ซ when I get offers from them. Or when they say they'd pay more, but they have to pay shipping... ๐๐
alaska42
@suzesloane I'm with you Susan. And as a buyer I've only had one posher include a thank you note. The rest have just been shoved in a box no protection and no note. I'm waiting for the day I get a cute package or a free gift ๐๐ค. A pair of sunglasses I bought still had some makeup stuck in the lenses from when she'd worn them last... ๐พ
rockcandy4u
@alaska42. Now that would definitely be a 1 star review...And, I explain in detail why. Makeup in glasses??,...FILTHY! I actually told people to go to EBay to sell because they're too immature for Poshmark! I have a few Celebrity client's that ask me to gift wrap and ship to their family and friends....I treat all my customers the same! I want people to keep coming back. Everybody lives unwrapping surprises! I'm the Virgo!!!

I love this!!๐๐

@adoriawyse thanks Adoria! ๐

Preach! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ this is the word right here! ๐๐

@charminglane yasss girl!! ๐ congratulations again on your posh party!! ๐น
restylez_
Thank you for this! I'm new (2nd day) and didnt know most of that. Good to know! ๐๐๐
alaska42
@restylez_ absolutely love!! I didn't know any of it either and with my first purchase I gave 5โญ๏ธ but didn't leave a comment or a "love note". When you give a rating it asks if you "want to leave a comment" I was like oh no ๐ฑ I love my item and she wrote a cute thank you note!! I didn't want to get her in trouble! I didn't realize that THAT was my opportunity to say what a nice seller she was ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
alaska42
@restylez_ I wish it would ask if you'd like to leave a love note lol. Whatever "comment" you wrote then goes public on her profile.
restylez_
Yeah I'm learning slowly so thanks for your help! So after a purchase they have to rate or your money isn't released? And vice versa when I purchase something I need to rate when I receive it? Just a rating though ...no comment?...thanks again ๐
alaska42
@restylez_ ok so when you buy something, as the BUYER when your purchase comes a little notification pops up on your phone telling you the box has arrived and please rate to release payment. So each BUYER (you) has 3 FULL days from when you get your box to rate/write a comment. You going into the app, going to "my purchases" and giving a rating gives the SELLER (me) his/her money
restylez_
@alaska42 great thanks for the info๐๐
alaska42
@restylez_ so when you get the box that is when you inspect the item for damage, item matching description, correct item.. whatever. If your item is as described then you go into the app and actively release our payment to us by giving the rating. If you do nothing Poshmark does not pay us until the fourth day after you get your box. The option to leave a comment (yay please do!) is below the star rating.
alaska42
Sellers LOVE love notes because A. we take time making your box up or including a free gift and it's nice to hear that it wasn't just a complete waste of time and wasn't appreciated and B. because your โญ๏ธ rating and/or note goes on our seller profile and tells other potential buyers that we're safe to buy from. Does that make sense?
alaska42
@restylez_ sorry if the description was too long! There's really no short way to say it!! Soo happy you joined posh! โค๏ธ for being new your closet is great! You have clear photos and variety!! ๐ any other questions please ask!! Happy to help ๐๐๐
restylez_
@alaska42 thanks! I may start using a better camera soon because my phone isnt always the best but glad you think so! I want to get a mannequin and a backdrop and all that stuff soon haha. I really appreciate your advice. Everyone is so nice here. And if I can think of anything else I'll def ask. ๐ฐ
restylez_
And your description was perfect!! Thanks for taking the time to write it
alaska42
@restylez_ you're so welcome!! Participating in share groups are also a great way to get your items out there and greatly increases your chances of making a sale. If/when you're interested just ask me about it and I can tag you in a couple people's to help get you started ๐
restylez_
@alaska42 I'm interested!! Lol
alaska42
@restylez_ Ha! Ok babe so for share groups you do what's called "tag" yourself or "sign in" on the sign up sheet each day when the sign is posted. Some are put up the night before for the next day just check the date. Do it every day or once a week it's your choice. The sign up is for that day only.
alaska42
@restylez_ You sign in by putting @yourclosetname so I would put @alaska42 on the sign up sheet and then you share however many items the sign up description tells you to. Each one is different but the description will tell you. Your first time to a posher's share group you'll put NEWBIE next to your name.
restylez_
@alaska42 okay at the risk of sounding dumb...I'm so not social media literate anymore (got rid of all of it but I am loving the positivity on here!) When you say you tag yourself on the sign in and share how many items it says...where do you share them to? You can share things on ppls pics? Sorry lol. Thanks ur the best
alaska42
@restylez_ when you press and hold on a listing (mobile phone) a screen pops up and the top will say Share to: My followers and then you hit the share button! On a computer over by where you like and comment is a square lookin icon and if you click that the same share to my followers pops up and you click share ๐
restylez_
@alaska42 just saw this! You're awesome I didn't know you could press and hold like that to share. Lol!Thanks you thank you thank you
alaska42
@restylez_ you're welcome ๐ I'm always here. I had a lot of questions when I started and unfortunately a few poshers who said "here to help!" shut me down when I tried asking a question. So I know what it's like to be confused but not know where or how to ask. There's no stupid question! That SG is fantastic because it's only 4 shares. It can be overwhelming starting SG so let me know when you're ready to take on more groups and I'll tag you in more!! ๐
restylez_
@alaska42 wow that's not cool!!! Well luckily I found a nice person like you who's so helpful! I'll let you know about joining more because the share groups are so cool. Just gotta get the hang of it which I'm sure I will in no time๐

This is great!

lmbohanan
Love this!!! I'll never have a perfect tasting because a dress I sold a girl was too small for her, it was exactly as described and not my fault it didn't fit her. I'm not the maker, just the seller. ๐ซ๐๐๐
lmbohanan
Rating, not *tasting. Lol
alaska42
@lmbohanan ๐ I just made a goofy laugh when I read your message as they're handing me my coffee in the dunkin line, and I got the weirdest look haha ๐๐ค๐๐

russell_bb
@alaska42 so true! I just got a rating today from someone that revived the package a week ago, it was shipped promptly, wrapped nicely, included a gift and card, rating: 1 star, reason"other". ๐ญ๐ญ now my average rating is lowered, -100 towards becoming a suggested user ๐
alaska42
@russell_bb oh no Peggy!! ๐ซ Man that would chap my a$$ so bad... who knows why some people are jerks ๐คทโโ๏ธ. It can be disheartening to go the extra mile and get crapped on in return. Or you see they give a lot of love notes but you didn't get one ๐ I give cute thank you notes and fun free gifts ๐
russell_bb
@alaska42 ๐ญ๐ญ yea it feels like we go extra, but in return get less than we expected and sometimes without reason, I get sad even at 4 stars, But 1 star I don't know what happened there, but I think I feel better just to complain it out lol! I tell my bf but I think only Posher's would understand the feeling lol thank you for your response ๐โค๏ธ๐ best wishes to us and hope we get happy buyers lol ๐
joanieonie
This is a fantastic listing! I'm planning to do something like it (won't steal your artwork!) Thanks for the inspiration, beautiful Daisy girl! @joanieonie
alaska42
@joanieonie hi fellow daisy!! ๐โค๏ธ๐ผ thanks Joanie!! I think posh needs to make it more clear what the rating system is for, how it affects us and how to properly rate. I wish the "leave a comment" box was more clear that it goes publicly on a posher's profile and is in fact the "love note" ya know ๐
amoc2001
thank you thank you thank you!!!! for letting our group know about my "presence" on the wheel. If you read in the listing I think I know why hahahaha - thanks again though - it means a lot to me that you let others and MYSELF lmao know! :) xoxoxo Ann
alaska42
@amoc2001 you got it! ๐๐

katewaz
@alaska42 Thank you so much ๐๐ and @j3nnm76 you can use it as long as you leave it as is with my name on it ๐๐ I don't mind! Have a great night ๐๐
alaska42
@ej_savvy hey Emmy! Sorry had to wait for my son to go to bed to get back to you. Okay, so! The coveted Host Picks.... When posh parties are going on there are several poshers who "host" this party. Each of the hosts are given a certain amount of items to choose from that they feel fit the theme to be their "Host Picks" for the party, like a showcase. You really want a HP for the massive exposure your item and therefore your closet gets as a result of being chosen and showcased.
alaska42
@ej_savvy so the way to get one is sometimes a luck of the draw, and a host might stumble upon your item while browsing posh which has happened to me as an amazing surprise, but most of the time it is from being an active member of posh and making PFF (Posh Friend Forever) friendships. Join a tag team (I'm about to start one, but there are some really great ones out there). By joining a tag team
alaska42
@ej_savvy you are sent notifications about Posh Parties, Follow Games, New Suggested Users... that kind of stuff. You WANT to get on a tag team, several in fact if there's room. When you find a party listing in someone's closet or you join a tag team and are sent the notification, go to the party listing and congratulate the host in the honor of hosting a posh party in the hopes that they will look through your closet for a HP.
alaska42
@ej_savvy If you have never had a HP SAY THAT in your comment. Most hosts follow the etiquette of picking a certain amount of HP from brand new closets or those that have never had a HP. Like the listing, make your congrats comment, optional share item from the host closet, share the listing and make sure to follow the host. Liking the listing lets you keep track of the party for when the party host drops the price it'll pop up in your feed.
alaska42
@ej_savvy I've even found amazing items that match an upcoming party and will tag the host in that person's listing (if the host has asked to be tagged that's important) and have had some of those items get picked. Thanks for reaching out! I have no problem answering any questions you got!!!!
alaska42
@ej_savvy OH!! I forgot the most important part. Any closet that wishes to get a HP or get on a tag team for parties from the big closets MUST be posh compliant. I checked out your closet and you're all good! You have great listings and a variety of really great stuff! Just make sure to never sell used makeup, lotion, perfume, nail polish all that stuff. It's a NO NO. Or put something as Kate Spade for the exposure but it's a Walmart purse... that kinda stuff.
j3nnm76
@katewaz most definitely! Wouldn't have thought to alter the pic. Thank you both. Now one of these days maybe I'll actually get a chance to post it. Lol I've got so many items I need to post and a few signs I want to put up but b/t shares, following and family trying to find time to do it is hard since I've been dealing with a broken phone. My poor tablet just can't hang๐
katewaz
@j3nnm76 oh noooo!! I hear you, I have a ton of stuff to post but NO TIME ๐ฉ

alaska42
@sbecker1962 ugh yass so rude. Thereโs rude people all over though. There is a really well known big closet posher on here that had a sign saying her ENTIRE closet (in all caps like that too) is on sale. I saw a necklace I really liked so I asked if it was part of her promotion and she replied back the next day with โreally? If I wanted it to be part of the sale I wouldโve said it so noโ
alaska42
@sbecker1962 Iโm like Jesus who pissed in your Cheerios. I was really taken back by it and I said thanks just thought Iโd ask...
but like thereโs no need to be a bโก๏ธtch about it I was just asking. You said the entire closet... some people Shelley...
alaska42
@sbecker1962 that one gets me the most. The button for a comment is right there. RIGHT THERE!!! Just say item as described thanks or even just a pretty ๐ anything! Most purchases seem to come from new poshers so they donโt know any better ya know? My first purchase I saw the โadd additional commentโ and I thought that was for if you had an issue so I just gave the 5 ๐ rating and wrote a note on her listing
alaska42
Then I asked about and someone told me it was a love note and I was like ohhhh Iโll say this though. If you ever have an issue some say to give the 5๐ rating and write the problem as the โlove noteโ because thatโs the only way anyone will see it. Anything less than 5๐ doesnโt count as a love note so itโs not seen by anyone else
alaska42
@sbecker1962 ๐ญ aww thatโs so sweet!! Iโve been a stay at home mom until a few months ago. I actually work for a jewelry company so I sell fancy jewelry ๐ hehe itโs awesome I get to touch pretty things all day ๐ but yeah I just changed my profile pic I donโt normally take selfies but I was doin my Janet Jackson hairdo and plum lipstick so I was like SNAP! ๐คณ lol
alaska42
@sbecker1962 itโd be so fun to be a realtor though and Iโve got the car for it but Iโve never really thought about taking the tests and all that and Iโm moving back to Atlanta in May and the market there is so saturated I wouldnโt stand a chance lol
heathersworld
@alaska42 I take the time to look at what it is my buyers likes are.. When they purchase from within my Closet I wrap each individual item..as if I am wrapping a gift that I myself would be impatiently sitting at the window. Glancing out like a chikd at Christmas awaiting its arrival.
The reason for knowing their likes.. For each individual first purchase from me.
I include a ๐ of equal value to show my appreciation.
heathersworld
@alaska42 each buy after thats gift may not be as big ..but no matter how many return customers I have each time They get a free gift. As well as the fact that when checking out...they were given a code with their first purchase.. Which they can use each and everytime they return to my Closet..that gives them an automatic repeat customers discount.
And it can be used during Sales and with other discounts.
alaska42
@heathersworld I think thatโs wonderful! ๐ค I love gift wrapping each purchase and including the note and gift. I personally have truly gotten some amazing boxes and some ratchet boxes. But I keep doing my thing even if not everyone appreciates it
heathersworld
@alaska42 I accept an Sellers package the moment that I have opened it. If I find something is wrong.. Than I immediately try and contact the Seller to let them know..so not to file a case. Useally we can resolve the matter. Only twice have I had a Seller refuse to respond back leaving me no choice but to file on the third day. And if I haven't given your stars or written your review..give me a day or two. Cause seldom do I not give 5 stars and write a rave review.
alaska42
@sbecker1962 well funny story us moving here to DE last May was our new city new adventure. We left Atlanta, sold our home in the city and moved up here only for my husband to have to move back to Atlanta 6 weeks after we moved here... so itโs just been our son and I here riding out the lease. So Iโm going back to the place Iโve lived my whole life and Iโm so incredibly sad
alaska42
@sbecker1962 I have absolutely fallen in love with Delaware (things we never imagined weโd say for 600 please) and I am dreading when our lease is up and we have to move back. Iโm trying to soak up as much DE as I can before we go back. Moving again is gonna suck though
alaska42
@sbecker1962 wow ๐ฎ Montana I bet it was beautiful! Was it slow paced? What brought you to Montana? DE is SUPER cheap. Itโs not just because thereโs no taxes. It is gorgeous here and breezy because Iโm just a few miles off the ocean. Everything here is farm to table/fresh food. A lot of restaurants use local farmโs produce/meat and with the Amish community just down the street from me I get
alaska42
@sbecker1962 all my meat, eggs, produce, fruits, veggies, milk... everything from local farms and donโt get me started on Amish butter and fresh baked bread and pies or ice cream. All super cheap, right outta the ground and the seafood is fresh out the ocean. Itโs sunshine and farmland with cities close by. Delaware has a shitload of parades/festivals
alaska42
@sbecker1962 community activities constantly. Every little city does their own so you have things goin on all the time and every weekend. People legitimately do crab bakes and Iโm only 2 hours to Manhattan or an hour to a beautiful beach. (Iโm 3 miles to ocean front but you donโt wanna swim there) people are friendly and itโs just legitimately the best kept secret of the north. Oh and thereโs Dunkinโ Donuts every 100 ft ๐๐๐
alaska42
@sbecker1962 rent depends on where in this little state you are. The trouble here in Dover is that the Air Force Base drives up the rent prices because so many here are Air Force. With the stipend they get places here set their rent higher because AF will pay it. Prices for homes to buy though is dirt cheap. But you can find places for normal prices but itโs the cheap food and no taxes that help a lot
alaska42
@sbecker1962 oh please do! If you ever get the chance to come here do it. They have buses that run to Manhattan and back for $40. Itโs crazy. To live in a place where people are like Iโm gonna go to New York for the day/night or letโs go a mile down the road for apple picking or Iโm gonna go gamble in Ocean City or hey girl you guys wanna go to the beach today? Itโs amazing.
alaska42
@sbecker1962 mild winters and mild summers. The summer is the prettiest time here everything is so green and smells so good. When the farmland is left rotting to nutrify the ground for the next crop itโs blech but thatโs the only thing I havenโt liked.
alaska42
@sbecker1962 right lol look up Leander Lakes itโs where I am and itโs the best place ever. Theyโre brand new so Iโm actually the first person to live in this apartment. Iโm on the top floor so I have a view of the pond and the fields and vaulted ceilings. Girl itโs bigger than the house we sold lol we moved in and Iโm like holy crap a walk in closet?! What am I gonna do with all this space haha
alaska42
@sbecker1962 itโs gonna be a big change to go back thatโs for sure. But here a 2 bed with a den with a roommate would be about $700. Military women are always lookin for roommates here tho.
