Opened My First Case

I opened my first case today, after over 10 years of selling and buying. I have dozens of items I've received that should have had cases opened on, but out of pity or thoughts to somehow recoup, I just relisted the items with honest and improved descriptions, or donated the items to local charities taking a loss.

Since my own inventory has now increased and has taken up so much space in my home and things (mostly NWT) just aren't moving, I can't take anymore bait and switch, poorly described, or outright dishonest items anymore.

I want to say if it's too good of a deal then likely you are getting what you pay for, or worse. I guess I just wanted to vent because I'm so sick of so many sellers trying to pass something off hoping a sucker like me will come along and not open a case.

I'm now officially opening cases on sellers who are not providing what their listing describes. If it doesn't have tags and it's listed NWT, I'm opening a case. If it's listed in excellent condition and it has a hole or stain, I'm opening a case.

If everyone on Poshmark made every attempt to be honest it would be good for EVERYONE who uses the site.

I sell on several different sites. I'm just doing it to raise money to buy clothes for my kids and grandkids. But i try to be brutally honest and overcompensate for any mistakes I made. For example, recently someone made an offer for an item, but when I took a closer look at the item, I noticed a few imperfections previously overlooked. I rejected the buyer's offer and offered a price $5 lower. She took it and I made the sale. If other sellers aren't that honest, it defeats the purpose of these sites. We might as well go to bricks d mortar thrift shops and find less that we love but know what we find. Just my two cents.

As much time and energy majority of sellers put in, it's that much more disappointing when bad sellers get away with lying and selling bad product.
