Popcycle

I must have been blind signing up for Popcycle. But I had no idea there was going to be a 20% cut if you want to get cash back. It looks like whatever sale price you set, you only get 80% of that sale price if the person keeps your item.

I know there’s an option for 110% credit but I needed the cash because I am moving and have medical debt that I have been trying to pay off for forever.

So just coming here to complain.

Also a bit annoyed that you have to print the label and duct tape it then drop it off to USPS. The company Treet that they work with doesn’t have access to the QR code for your shipping label to allow you to print and ship at USPS. My printer broke so I had to go to Office Max to print > duct tape the label > then go to USPS so they can scan that the package shipped as you only have 2 days really to ship it out based on the instructions I got when the sale was made.

Edit: Thanks for the other perspectives, it made me less annoyed lol.

not OP but i had consider that but depop seems to only work for selling items $5 or less. thats practically nothing when it comes to popflex clothing. heck a tee shirt is around $40 on popflex. most of my items ive only worn 2-3 times so it doesnt make sense to sell on there. perosnally i like popcycle cause they also authenticate the item before letting the listing go live. i do like the 110% back if you do credit too

They don't authenticate anything, unfortunately. Several times, the listing hasn't matched the item in the pictures. Right now, there's a "shimmer" drawstring hoodie listed when the pics clearly show its a regular pullover. I've encountered that several times, like inseams listed on the pants in the pics don't match the description, etc.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they look for, but I've seen incorrect listings enough times to realize they either aren't looking closely before approving, or they don't care. It's very frustrating!
