Oh wow! This is a new scam! Gucci is one to be on the look out. About a month Ago, I was looking for Gucci bags for my mom and I came across a closet that seemed legit. Prices seemed very reasonable. They had photos of the actual item… supposedly… and they had many listing. They promised authenticity etc. on the description. So I felt comfortable. So I added a few small purses to my bundle from this particular seller to make him/her an offer. However, As I was getting ready to make an offer to the seller , his closet suddenly disappeared. I thought the item sold before I could make an offer. I was so confused. So I tried looking for the seller closet, but I kept getting an error message. Nope, that closet completely disappeared. I immediately realize that this was probably a scammer’s closet.

I disagree … I recently had non sales within two days that totaled over 3000 dollars … all the buyers were different but two and no buyer had a pic nor history nor name other than first name and numerical name, none of the buyers would reply to my “thanks for purchasing your item will ship soon” opening statement… but after checking my labels every single buyer had the same Miami address to of all places a federal building to a security desk….. all delivered to exact same place … once delivered not one person responded … I did get paid after 72hrs but then months later all sales were charged back for stolen credit cards and my money account was stolen out of my accounts …. So yeah I should have known better and not shipped when I saw all those same addresses and no size correlation and no response and also no buyer history but … I have such standing on Poshmark that I thought they would have my back if something went wrong but that was not the case… I also believe what this seller is talking about could have also been the end goal for they got my items and I lost due to not watching addresses carefully enough . Main lesson do not sell to any name with numbers attached and that don’t respond in correct English to you after a sell. Cancel all else

Hi Faith, Thank you for sharing your video, unfortunately I saw too late, I think. Yes, I am right this minute in the process of being scammed and not sure what to do. I am a baby at Poshmark and trying learn as much as I can. I did get that dreaded text, "send me more photos of the item having issues with my phone" yes, I also went as far as sending my address and phone number that she asked for. She said she was having issues with her secretary, because her secretary made the check for over a thousand dollar but she indicated that she would send me an additional $70 up front to hold the item and any other issues she's caused. She said the check would be coming from her company for a large amount and asked if I could just take out the payment for the item and the $70 she promised and send her the rest. Well, I received an envelope from a company that doesn't look like it went through any postal office and a very crooked shipping label. The person already text to find out if I received the check. I have not responded nor have I opened the envelope. My thoughts are to not answer anything from her and take the envelope to the post office and have them return it to sender. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the info. I've seen the same kind of names on Vinted. Found it fishy.

I want to add that a lot of people sell fake reformation dresses on Poshmark too! You think you are getting a great deal on a dress but in reality it's something produced for Aliexpress

YES!! Fakes on Poshmark is a HUGE problem, especially with brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton

I used to shop on depop and it was very good for me but doesn’t mean there aren’t scammers, with depop your payment gets in your PayPal account as soon as you make a sale, it feels like on poshmark since they keep your money, people will scam more. And the worst with poshmark is that your address is on the package

There are a lot of scammers on Poshmark, sending to you messages asking for more pictures of your listing, to be sent to their email. I just reported them to the administration!

Man, scammers are relentless! I’m thinking this wasn’t poshmark giving out your info but rather they took your address and name and someone got into your paypal account? I mean, as a poshmark seller I would not know how to access someone’s payment info, but you could definitely call a company (like paypal) and pretend to be someone you aren’t. Idk if you ever figure it out please update us!
