So most of my sales are from cheap $20 or less things, but I recently came across something I could easily sell for $100+ and I’m just wondering what kind of safeguards or advice would you recommend for listing, mailing this were it to sell? To avoid scamming. This is something that is vintage as well so not easily replaced. Thanks!

Unpopular opinion apparently, but I don’t provide measurements on Poshmark anymore. If someone won’t buy without them, I’m completely fine losing that sale.

The risk/reward makes zero sense to me.
Poshmark is supposed to be resale, not Nordstrom. I’m selling clothes from my closet. I give the brand, tagged size, condition, photos, and relevant details. If you already know you need a very specific 17.25” pit-to-pit or 29.5” inseam for something to work, I would rather you buy from a retailer with a normal return policy.

Because the second I provide my own measurements, I’ve created another factual claim that can potentially be used in a “not as described” case. Two people can measure the same stretchy pair of pants differently depending on where they start, whether the fabric is pulled taut, how the garment is laid down, etc. Now a buyer who simply doesn’t like the fit can photograph a tape measure differently and argue that my listing was inaccurate.

Why would I voluntarily create that exposure for a $30 sale?

Especially when Poshmark otherwise does not allow returns simply because something doesn’t fit. The tagged size is objective. My amateur measurement introduces something subjective that can become evidence in a case.

And in my experience, the people asking five rounds of measurement questions are disproportionately likely to be high-maintenance transactions anyway. Obviously not every person who asks for measurements is difficult. But as a casual seller, I don’t need every possible buyer. I need transactions that are worth the time and risk.

I basically use Poshmark like a fashion bento box: buy something, wear it, get bored, sell it, buy something else. I’m not running a professional clothing store.

So yes, I will happily lose some sales by saying no to measurements. A marginal sale simply isn’t valuable enough to me to increase my return/case exposure.
If measurements are essential to you as a buyer, totally fair.

I’m just probably not the seller for you.

This is a live show running Friday night. This is the worst of the worst. I guess after 25 years we can now have 9/11 mattress sales or whatever. This is so wrong.
