As a honest seller, they have never had my back and tonight was it for me. Thank you for sharing your experience. If I had received something that I didnt like and that hasnt been the case Ive loved everything then I would give it to somebody else or do something else with it but you dont ask for someone to take it back when its a final sale and you cant say its not as represented but its misrepresented because theres really no representation of the item at the site its simply a photograph with a very brief description. None. Poshmark is run by tech bros, who have no fashion sense.
