#poshmark sucks

[roses-and-tears]

cooled down now and returning from my hiatus to cry on the internet again but I won’t bc that’ll be annoying

[wildestheart4ever]

Ruing this damn place for not having a usps office near by [The closest one is 30 minutes away]

And definitely ruing the fact that I don’t know how to drive and am therefore reliant on my sisters to do things for me

[sanchoyo]

why…is anything tech related banned from being listed on depop if they have a tech section??? In their categories there’s a camera section??? Huh??? 🤔

[xanderisbraindead]

I see people that are tryna get into emo and scene fashion make posts ab like needing help finding clothes or like styling their hair n the liek so I’m here to help. Who am I? Nobody but im like scenemo and very happy to help. Im gonna make a resource masterlist, starting with this post

It’s important to note that if you have the hair, anything you wear will look emo. Emo teens would really just wear just some normal clothing and it fucked! Keep that in mind

How do I find emo/scene clothes?

🇺🇸🇬🇧Check resale sites like depop, ebay, mercari, poshmark (mercari is not available in the uk). You CANNOT build a wardrobe overnight. You just cant. Be patient and just keep checking, I promise you will find something. Heres some things I’ve personally bought or found on these sites and the price usd just for reference (without shipping)// Beetlejuice striped ht skinnies $16.49// We the kings shirt $5.50// All time low shirt $5.50//Red plaid ht skinnies $10.50// Famous star and stripe shirt $5-10// Secondhand serenade shirt $10// A lot of fellow scene and emo ppl resell on these sites!! (Trashmob has a depop for example, so does oliver sykes???)

2-Thrifting. Ik you’re probably tired of hearing it bc duh but… =) Try some local thrifts, big companies either suck, are expensive or both. I’d buy my skinnies from here. Reminder that they don’t have to be black!! You can style black, white, blue, any color of jean. Even styles like flair or bootcut jeans.

🇺🇸HT REPLAY. NOBODY TALKS AB THIS. Hot topic has a thredup, they sell preloved clothing and its constantly updated. Its very discounted. For example a shirt that was initially $25 usd would be sold for $11-9 usd. This is as far as ik only in the us??

Diy, obv. Look at those. Aren’t they cool looking? Not being able to afford band merch doesn’t make you any less of a fan than ppl with huge collections, remember that.

🇺🇸🇬🇧Dont be afraid to check normal stores like target, tk maxx, and walmart, you’ll be surprised. Target has cute character jackets if you can fit kids sizes and walmart made that skeleton sweater vest they gotta have more up their sleeves.

🇺🇸Merchnow.com. They have HEAVENLY old band merch and posters. Like ptv, chiodos, sws, tdwp, coheed and cambria, before today, texas in july, even like icp. this might be a us only thing? If someone could check for me ilys

(Added on Nov 8 23)

🇬🇧Grindstore.com they’re like merchnow kinda, heavenly band merch

(Added April 29 24)

🇺🇸🇬🇧 Childrens clothes if you can fit into them a lot of childrens clothing are very good for a scene look

This is all I have for now, but if i come up with anything else I’ll definitely update this!!

okok here me out!!! you said that reader had to sell most of her items because they had to pay for things. i imagine reader bringing their nice clothing to consignment shops or even selling online (maybe ebay or poshmark??) anyways, what if johnny and simon were keeping tabs on reader prior to that night at the bar.

what if johnny and simon were the ones buying their items? if they were doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, or if they simply bought the items to ready their room in the basement.. well i’ll have you decide.

Part 2 of 3 of the backstory

Wc: 1.4k

Warnings: 18+ MDNI, not proofread, slight exhibitionism and voyeurism, alcohol intake (you’re bordering on tipsy), possessive behaviour, Johnny being a horndog, mention of kidnapping, clothed grinding, tell me if I missed any!

———

Interesting thought! I don't believe they would be the ones to buy your things though, as they have no interest in your old stuff. Simon and Johnny are nasty men, they get off on the fact that nothing in the cottage they're keeping you in belongs to you. You’re drinking some juice with your breakfast? Yeah, you’re going to have to use Simon’s mug, and don't believe that Johnny won't steal a gulp or two from the drink. The clothes you’re wearing all belong to them, apart from underwear (if they could, they would - honestly, but they don’t want to scare you off. As if they haven't already. Besides, it makes it easier for the panty sniffing…) Also, while you’re selling your stuff, they didn't know who you were yet! They may or may not have come across you at the café/restaurant you were working at, but only from afar - in those cases you were never assigned as their waitress. Both Simon and Johnny have always felt that there’s something missing, yeah they’re undeniably happy together - but yet… in the 1000-piece puzzle, only 999 have been put together and the last one’s been lost.

They didn't know that the last piece of their puzzle was right under their noses, so when they turn their full attention to you for the first time, a summer night, at a bar they crashed at to let loose - they find the last puzzle piece.

Dancing and pausing now and then to take a sip of your second drink, only to go back to swaying your hips on the dance floor right after. The dress you’re wearing compliments your curves, and your pretty lips lip-sync to the song blasting from the speakers.

It’s Johnny who jumps up first from his seat, leaving his beloved lieutenant behind, to approach the beautiful woman who caught their attention. He startles you at first, hands finding your thighs and pulling you flush against him. He chuckles lowly at your little jump and yelp, before you look behind yourself and meeting his bright blue eyes. Furthermore, he gives you a toothy smile, which is hard not to reciprocate, and you face forward again - dancing with him to the beat of the song, one hand on the back of his neck, travelling upwards to grab at his mohawk occasionally, and the other wandering. It’s curious, grabs at his bulging biceps, strokes the side of his face when he lays his head on your shoulder - kissing and sucking hickies into your neck, and grabs the hand groping at your thighs. His eyes meet with Simon’s when you aren’t paying attention, slowly turning you to face him so he could watch the show as he pleased.

It starts off innocent, or well - as innocent as slow grinding can be. You’re both enjoying each other's company, and he keeps his hands mostly to himself at first before becoming bolder. His head lifts off of your shoulder to bury it in your hair, and he takes a big whiff. Weird, you think at first, but shrug it off soon enough as he pulls you against him a bit harsher, his half hard cock desperately searching for your pussy through the layers of clothing. You hum softly when it rubs against you, and you’d be lying if you said you weren’t wet at the moment. The man behind you whistles lowly when you start rubbing back against him, which encourages him to be braver. He moves a forearm in front of you and wraps it around your midsection, palm splayed open on your stomach. His other hand moves up to brush against your breasts, before gripping your chin. He relishes in your gasp, glad he heard it over the loud music that he’s now practically humping you to. He meets Simon’s eyes one last time, before angling your head towards him and leaning in to brush his lips against yours, “name’s Soap.” He says, right before diving in for a treat.

He’s good at kissing… and dancing, you note. Perhaps it was the alcohol in your system that made your body practically beg for the stranger behind you, but soon enough you’re leading the hand on your chin down to your breasts again. Which he gladly complies to, and moans at the feeling of fat under his hand, reaction clearly being seen in the palm on your stomach trembling slightly. You swear you can feel his dick throb, and you wonder if he’s fully hard yet, or if the dick that was slowly growing against your back throughout the night to what now was a beast had yet to reach it’s end goal. Said hand travels down to your thighs, rubbing circles into it, before giving it a harsh slap and finally breaking away from your kiss and turning you around. You almost lose your balance, but he keeps you steady - feeding the butterflies in your stomach.

“Hey, bonnie.” he grins, moving his hands to grab at your waist, manipulating you to be chest to chest with him. You can clearly feel his irritated cock on your stomach through his denim jeans, and you have to push down the urge to get down on your knees right in the middle of the bar. Face to face, you get a good look at him. He’s handsome, his physique complimented by an equal face. You both have to lean slightly closer to each other to be able to hear over the loud music, “Hi… Soap” you giggle at the unusual nickname, although almost back off immediately after at his peculiar reaction. His whole body almost shudders, and the hands on your waist quickly grab you harshly and lift you slightly off the ground. He grinds his dick right between your thighs, and it catches onto your clit - to which you moan loudly and fall forward into him.

“Ah fuck” he groans, bites his lip and moves you- rather indiscreetly, to a close corner of the dance floor. The wall hits your back and you moan into your second kiss when a hand moves closer and closer to where you need him, fingers dancing over the fabric of your dress, “ye’re pure soakin’, eh?” his fingers leave you, but before you can mourn the loss, he’s got his thigh propped up against you.

“S-Soap” you sweetly moan for him, and he feels as though he could die right there, leave for the pits of hell and still be satisfied. “C’mon lass,” he coos at your uneven grinding, and smirks at your nails digging into his shoulders, “drench my thigh, ‘n then we’ll deal with the formalities, aye?”

You circle and roll your whole body into the erratic movements, desperate but good enough to have both your pussy and mouth drooling. The music slowly becomes background sounds and the thing on the loudest volume in Johnny’s head is your moans and gasps. He decides to eat them, thus places his lips on yours once more - urging your hips to grind harder. Everything’s well until you pull away from your shared kiss only to have your eyes be met with a large man in a black balaclava. He was way bigger than Soap, and that was saying a lot. Your shocked scream got Soap tensing up, and looking behind himself. He sighs and slaps your cheek lightly with two fingers, “ye wee glaikit lass” he laughs, “thought you’d seen a ghost.”

You awkwardly laugh along and untangle your limbs, though, Soap isn’t letting you go at all. “Brilliant reaction in that case, as is his name.” He throws you a wink, while the man behind him only just stares at you. His black hoodie and jeans, paired with a pair of combat boots - make him blend into the dark background of the bar. You wouldn’t have noticed him if he didn’t want to be noticed. He finally lifts his hand and grasps the back of Soap’s neck, scruffing him, before leaning down to almost yell over the loud music into his ear, brown eyes never leaving yours. “Behave, sergeant.” And that’s all he needs to do before Soap reluctantly releases you and responds with an eye roll. “S’ry beauty, the beast needs me elsewhere.”

They both turn to leave but halt their movements when you shout your name towards them.

That was your second mistake.

[batz-surveys]

10.

Does it irritate you when people are late for things, or do you not really care? Oh no, I hate when people are late. It's not that hard to be on time.

Are you nervous about anything? I really want to call out tomorrow. Honestly, I want to do it to spend the day with my husband. It's been a few weeks since I've been able to spend a day with him and it's killing me, haha. But also, with everything that went on last week with my dad, I could use a mental health day. Is your bed against more than one of your walls? No, the head of it is just against one wall.

When was the last time someone chased you with a hose? I don't think that's ever happened before.

Have you ever burned yourself while taking something out of the oven? Yes. It sucks. Do you think seeing a gay/lesbian couple in public is gross? Yikes, no way. I love seeing love, no matter what the couple looks like. Have you ever made out in your room? Last time? Yes. I don't know, probably a couple weeks ago. I'm honestly not that big on the making out. I'm kind of a "we know this is going to happen, so let's just get to the good part" kind of woman, haha. Don’t you just hate running into people you know? YES. It's like 90% of my anxiety when I go to somewhere that I know will be busy. I've known a lot of people in my younger years, and I'm a completely different person than I was then, so running into anyone from my past is such a worry of mine. Who is the last person that disappointed you? Myself, I'm sure. Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom? Oh, I definitely have before. What are you going to have for dinner tonight? I had a peanut butter and pickle sandwich for dinner. Hey, don't knock it until you try it. Do you think the last person you kissed cares about you? I hope my husband cares about me! No, I'm kidding. I know he does. Have you ever sold your old clothes instead of donating them? Yeah, I used to have a Poshmark like...six, seven years ago. All my listings sold, and I made a little over $100.

Does your favorite mall have more than one floor? The department stores in it do. But not the mall itself. I mean, it barely has any stores left in it, haha. Do you have a crazy aunt? Nah. I think that's going to be me in the future though, haha. Do you like family get togethers? Sure. I don't dislike them as much as I used to. It depends on who is showing up, really. Have you ever been to an art museum? Yes.

Would you kiss the last guy/girl that texted you? Yes, I kiss him everyday. He's my hubby.

Have you ever injured yourself while you were under the influence of alcohol? Yes.

Will you talk to the person you love/like tonight? Yes, we live together.

Are you still with the person you fell hardest for? If not, do you ever miss them? Yes, I married him.

Do you think you’ll kiss someone tonight? My husband (sheesh, this is getting redundant) before we both turn over to go to sleep.

Have you ever kissed anyone with the last name Jones? Not to my knowledge.

Is it possible to be ‘in love’ with someone, if they don’t love you back? Absolutely.

How many times have you cried in the past week? Oh God, I can't even count how many times I lost it this past week. My dad was in the hospital, and I cried like every day until he came home. And then I cried tears of joy when I finally saw him outside of the hospital. If you can't tell, I really love my dad, haha.

If you could have one wish right now, what would it be? Honestly? That I was rich so I didn't have to work. I know that's completely selfish, but hey, it's my wish. If I could wish for more wishes, then I'd use them on the worldwide shitshow going on.

Istg, selling stuff on Poshmark better work because Facebook Marketplace literally SUCKED. Fingers crossed Poshmark will work! I need to make some money esp since I don’t have a job yet 🙃

[unheavenlybody]

idk if it's just me or does whatever algorithm poshmark uses suck

[th3-0bjectivist]

Be back soon (and visit my store on Poshmark)!!!

    Heya gang, I’m starting to miss posting to Tumblr with a searing sharpness that could cut glass. Since my migration to North Carolina, I’ve found a full-time job. I’ve been working on new drawings and prose to go along with them. AND I’m learning how to animate some of my old art into gifs (Tumblr only allows 10MB quality, which sucks, but I’ll deal), the products of which you’ll see materialize over the next few weeks and into the rest of 2023. I wish I could say I’ve been incredibly creatively productive, but I haven’t been for a myriad of reasons. HOWEVER, give me about two more weeks to fully charge my brain battery, and I promise that I’ll deliver content you’ve never seen before, per usual. I’ve got a metric assload of music on the way, and of course random content that will make you both critically process reality and slap your knee in fits of belly-laughter.  

    If you’re wondering how I’m doing, I’m just fine. Mentally and physically healthy, although I’m not getting any younger, so it’s time once again to quit with the apathy and make hay while the sun is still shining. North Carolina is nice, very southern, but more relaxed and more my speed! Maybe not as aesthetically beautiful as Massachusetts, but the people here treat each other respectfully and without automatic condemnation, which is more than I can say for the D-Bags in the northeast. My new job is teaching me to work with my hands, recalibrate complex environmental monitoring devices and settle into the world of technology. If I had found a job like this in Massachusetts after my 2018 graduation, well, my life would have likely taken a trajectory that I could only experience in another reality/alternate universe. I am content; my local family is taking care of me and I’m taking care of them in turn. I am where I should be.

     Oh, and before I forget, I have an online closet set up over at https://poshmark.com/closet/galleryofluke. A lot of it is art pieces you can find on this very page. I’m not a salesperson, but I am trying to rebuild my life after a divorce, so if you wanna help a brother out and purchase something I would really appreciate it. I’d like to sell off some of my old paintings before working on new ones later this year, and everything is very reasonably priced. No pressure, but if you like my stuff and want to support me, please consider a purchase. That said, I will see you all very soon!

Best,

Luke (th3-0bjectivist)

what was I supposed to do again

[wildestheart4ever]

Last year my sister got me a pair of shoes that I really liked. They were cute, vintagey and casual enough that I felt comfortable enough to wear them often

But they’re an inch or two too big on me

Which sucks because I really like them.

But recently I found the same shoes on Amazon and Poshmark in the size 22cm

So I was excited because I thought I could finally get these shoes in my actual size and put the ones I had for sale in Poshmark.

But then, I took a look at the ones I had cause I wanted to see what size they were.

They were 22cm……

*Eye twitches*

My shoe size has always been 22cm, I have a ton of shoes in that size that actually fit - why can’t shoe sizes online be fucking reliable for once????

Ugh

[gawayne]

It's honestly near impossible to get graphic tees that are that cheap in Canada (well I mean joe fresh and walmart have them, but they are paper thin, the quality sucks ass). If you manage to find an online store from outside of Canada, then you get hit with the classic $20 shipping, and border fees apply to any purchase made over $50 (they count shipping as part of that) so maybe you find a $30 or less tee + $20 for shipping, get hit with duties and pay an extra $10-$18 depending on where in Canada you live. So the $30 tee ends up being $68. I am sure you are antiquated with that experience. If your location has resellers that might be a place to look, they tend to price them fairly (I would rather pay $30-40 right then and there than do the shipping/duty dance tbh), but unfortunately they tend to be not to my taste :P apart from that you could look at facebook marketplace, uniqlo has actual good quality tees but yet again not to my taste in terms of graphics, check poshmark canada or depop canada, diy or try your luck at thrifting if you have access. Best of luck!

ugh I know it’s so awful. my best luck so far has been with thredup, their stuff can get very very cheap but you do have to pay international shipping so it’s most worth it to buy several items once a year yknow. I love thrifting but I get so jealous of the tees I see advertised on insta, they’re so targeted to me 😭 ah well. honestly really wanna get into screenprinting but my place is too small rn

[harmonaesthetic]

We need more Vi looks from you idk how you make them so well but they're amazing

I am super happy you like them! I always aim to get them right. I agree, I need to make more looks.

There are a few reasons why I don't create more:

It's silly, but I over analyze everything and am a perfectionist. I have to be able to picture Vi in it.

All the items are $50 or less. TBH everyone is broke. Plus to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes nowadays is inconceivable to me. Everything eventually goes on sale/clearance or is sold much cheaper on Poshmark.

The items have to be fully in stock; whatever sizes provided! It sucks being interested in something only to find out it won't fit.

Additionally if the item has reviews it needs to be good ones.

The stores I rely on are ones I personally trust and use. Anything I haven't used I read customer reviews to make sure it is trustworthy.

[oodlefurb]

This is happening with other stuff too, it's just harder to catch. But it pisses me off so I'm gonna name names to hopefully warn people away from products that have burned me

I've been buying the same style of converse shoe since highschool. They slip on, but have fake laces to look like a tennis shoe. With the latest pair, the laces have been made so thin the knot no longer stays in the eyelet, and since they're a special length of laces I can't just go get some replacements somewhere else. They've effectively ruined their own product to save a penny or two in materials. I'm no longer going to be purchasing these shoes, if anyone knows of any other brands that produce a similar style let me know.

I recently ordered two pairs of these Levi jeggings. However they are not the same pants. On one, the elastic is worse and doesn't stay up and the material for the pockets is rougher and less comfortable. They also changed the logo, so I was able to figure which was the current one; surprise surprise it's the worst one. I will probably try to find a pair or two of the old style on Poshmark since I know they fit me well but it sucks to know that even if I wanted to order more new pairs I can't.

Yes I know it's petty to complain about my new brand name clothes not living up to expectations. I'm lucky that I can afford to buy these things in the first place.

But it's so frustrating not being able to trust anything anymore. If they online reviews are even true in the first place, they may be for a totally different product than the thing you actually receive. Brands you used to be able to trust to deliver a baseline level of quality are now just as bad as the no-name drop shipped crap. Shopping in person can sometimes be better (though tbh when basically every brand is making their stuff worse it doesn't help much). But it also takes a lot more time and energy and assumes you have stores nearby that sell whatever you need (ie jeggings are some of the only pants I can comfortably wear right now due to my body shape and weight fluctuations but since they're not "fashionable" anymore a lot of stores don't sell them). And none of this shields you from issues that only show up after a little bit of wear or the first washing.

What can an individual even do? I try to thrift what I can (though once again that takes a lot of time and energy, plus can be difficult if you have a nonstandard body shape or don't stay a consistent size). But like, I need clothes. I don't have the time to figure out which brands haven't yet crappified their stuff. So I just end up buying shit that I know sucks because I need pants that fit me now and these mostly do the job. And inside I quietly rage because even if I'm willing to spend the money, the option to buy a better quality thing no longer exists.

I highlighted clothes here but it's literally everything. My thrifted IKEA Kallax shelf is noticeably better than the brand new one I bought new. The "crappy" screwdriver I got gifted from my dad when I moved out is better than the one I bought new. The quality of materials used on the vintage beanie babies I like collect is so much nicer than on the new ones you can buy in the store. Anywhere you can find a direct comparison to be made, the new one will almost always be worse.

I don't want to live in a cheap, disposable world. I try to take care of the things I have. I patch holes and mend seams and wash gently. But the corporations that run the world are giving us no choice.

companies are delusional if they think consumers don't notice shrinkflation. less food in the package, less medicine in the jar, less whatever in the wherever, it doesn't matter where and it's almost always noticeable. like i just finished one box of medicine and we opened another allegedly identical one that we just bought and lo and behold, the four middle medicine segments were gone from the package. they took out four pills from the same sized box and sold it at the same price without any indication on the box other than the small number in the corner. ridiculous
