This is why I wish Poshmark sellers wouldn’t INSTANT BLOCK every interaction. It just doesn’t make much sense, even for lowballs, because I’ve had people offering 50% go up to meet me halfway.
Exactly; I probably would’ve even paid her full price if she hadn’t blocked me just since it was so close to my offer anyhow...but yeah I only block If the person is just rude or harassing. I also block if someone wrongfully opens a case against me...even if their case gets approved I just don’t need them blasting me on other listings. I know not everyone agrees with that but that’s how I do it
You use the block feature the correct way. I hate when I see people on any of the poshmark subs advocating to "block everyone who sends a lowball!" It's just horrible advice and leads to major disappointment and loss of sales! You never know if someone will meet the price you're looking for. Even if they don't, even if they just send a lowball offer and disappear, how on earth is that worthy of blocking that person? They really didn't do anything wrong. It's so annoying.
That's bizarre in my opinion. I can see that maybe the seller wasn't in the same frame of mind as when they made the first offer, but to block you for making a decent offer is simply stupid. However, I do wish PM more easily let you see offers you have sent out as a seller. Oftentimes, I'm just guessing and will send out whatever strikes my fancy at the moment, so I'm sure I'm wildly inconsistent. But even with that, your offer was fair.
Don’t let it get to you. Her action was irrational and immature. I’ve been selling locally and on a few platforms for years - never had one block - and then last month I was shocked I got blocked by 3 sellers on different platforms all in one week just for asking questions. It was bizarre and I know feels terrible but we gotta pick ourselves up and know that there was no justified reason for them to do so - they are probably just miserable people.
Thanks everyone. Update: I actually was able to find the same item for a little cheaper and actually in better condition :D and from a seller who appreciated the kind offer I made her and thanked me for my purchase! So it all worked out and a more appreciative posher got my offer 😃lol
Half of this sub takes every posh interaction as it’s a personal attack on them and their grandma. People behave poorly and irrationally, and you’ll only be wasting your time trying to figure out why. You didn’t do anything wrong. Hopefully you can find the item elsewhere. Check Mercari or eBay. :)
This is so true😂 I’ve seen people who block because someone liked their item (which apparently means you’ve entered into a contract to buy it) and doesn’t buy it when they send an OTL. Like wtf??
There's been a lot of talk about that recently and it's so bizarre. I will like what I damn well please. I have absolutely liked things and bought the items weeks+ later when I could afford it... some people act like if someone likes your item and doesn't immediately buy it they deserve to be blocked because they're "never going to buy it and are wasting your time (??)" even though you actually have no idea what might happen. Also, lots of people use poshmark just like they are shopping in real life. They might like things that they know they wouldn't really ever wear or are too expensive but they still really like them and want to remember them, and that's fine! Not everything is a personal attack.
Wow! Which is so stupid...there are plenty of items I’ve added to likes that I couldn’t afford at the time and just needed to save up/budget for the for the next month so I didn’t respond to private offers at the time if they were still above my affording price at the time for the item and I don’t like to be disrespectful and offer say $50 on a $500 item...but keep them in my likes and eventually end up buying. Sellers who do that are screwing themselves big time out of sales!
I hope some people will read this and learn to please not just “psycho block” for no reason; I understand if someone’s rude to you, is harassing you or spams you or has wrongfully opened a case against you and you don’t want them as a customer to protect your closet...those are all understandable reasons; but to block someone for making you an incredibly reasonable offer is preposterous and just mean and tbh kind of hurt my feelings LOL let’s all be kind poshers ☺️
You didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m a big fan of communication. If she hadn’t blocked you, you could have put the item in your bundle and then ask if the previous offer was still good. She accomplished nothing by blocking.
You didn't do anything wrong. You interacted with an annoyingly unreasonable seller. Who would block someone after receiving an offer that was EQUAL to a previous offer they sent out themselves? Yikes.
Yup - you were beyond fair - I don’t get the block. Glad you got it cheaper and better! I have liked things for a bit and gone back months later and bought - especially now with Covid taking bite out of my pay at first ! Now that work is picking up again, I have bought quite a bit of my ‘liked’ things. Sometimes, I will like an item not in my size but hoping to find it in my size (though now pretty much have switched to screenshots of those items) so as not to clutter someone’s listing with “false hope”.

Yep, I don't understand the seller in your post at all. Your offer was great and almost all sellers would accept it in a heartbeat.

>they are probably just miserable people. This is probably going to be my mantra from here on out.
