I have come to the conclusion that: 1) they are run by bots and no real people work there, 2) if they DO have real people, they are all 20 years old and complete idiots, 3) Elon Must just bought them and 4) regardless of the preceding suppositions, their customer service by ANY definition absolutely SUCKS ROCKS. Ive been on Poshmark a few months. Yet, Ive heard nothing. I got the dress back and not only did it have snags but there were some tiny white hairs on it. I was honest in my review and stated that the dress was beautiful, but that the description was lacking details that were important to a buyer and I explained in detail what I saw upon receiving the dress.
