Poshmark seller rules state that used makeup of any kind is prohibited. Yet, there are hundreds of listings of makeup tht is listed as " gently used, slightly used or swatched".

And some listing go as far as having pictures where one or more colors is used down to the pan or so well loved that the brand name is worn off of the package altogether. When you contact customer service at Poshmark, they get back to you with a generic email that selling it trading used makeup is against their policy. They then state that they rely on posters to report listings that are in violation. Let me just say that his could be a full time job related to used makeup.

As fast as you report, then 10-20 new listings pop up or ones are updated. All in violation. Why would someone think it's ok to sell a 1/2 used lipstick or used eyeliner and mascara? Some sellers report that it will be cleaned/sanitized.

The practice of home sanitation involves spraying alcohol on the surface of the product. It has to be above 70% alcohol. But that only maybe toyed the surface and yet the sellers bacteria can already be in multiple layers of the product including throughout. And how does in sanitize used mascara all down in that little dark tube.

A buyer would have to assume that the product was stored in the correct manner, used is a sterile manner, that the seller did not have any infections throughout the life of the product use etc. Users reporting that product only swatched --- don't get me started. Who buys a 50.00 eyeshadow palette , only swatches it and then sells it for 28.00? So it's swatched....does this mean they only touched each color with they finger or an already used brush before smearing it in the inside of their arm.....swatched is used!

Sanitized is a clean surface and used makeup can transmit infections from an unknown seller to you. Is it worth the gamble?

Reason of review: Against policy.

Monetary Loss: $1.

Preferred solution: Enforce your own policies.

Poshmark Pros: Some of the buyers are nice.

Location: Unit 101/Grd. Flr., The STG Corporate Centre Bldg, 72 Timog Ave, Sacreo Heart, Quezon City, 1103 Metro Manila, Philippines
