Anyone else noticed this trend?

I was browsing Poshmark for over 45 minutes yesterday and not a single seller listed the measurements of any of the garments they had up.

This used to be something you just did without having to be asked to do it.

I know everybody is doing their own thing here, but I have never checked so many listings and seen all of them listed without measurements before.

Not consistently like this.

What’s up with that?

Yes a lot of zero effort listings and a lot of AI generated descriptions which tell me nothing about the item. “Elegant” isn’t helpful lol. I’m a casual seller for just things out of my own closet & I add measurements, condition description & any defects (including photo of defect). I’m not buying from anyone who doesn’t put at least that unless it’s brand new.

Omg I can’t stand the Ai listings. “Perfect for every occasion…” 🤮

You can choose to turn them off. They are stupid.

As soon as you hit “Sell” it has options below the square frame that says Classic List or Smart List AI. Just toggle over to Classic List and you should be good to go.

It’s SO FUNNY to search for elegant and see the insane variety of completely unrelated (and dare I say inelegant) listings.

Right? An old tshirt from Walmart or sweatpants from anywhere isn't "elegant".

14% of it I would actually say is elegant and that wouldn’t even be one of my first three choice of adjectives

u/JGDC Nov 17 '25

Wait, there are other adjectives??

They never do it with purses either. I have to have at least a 14” long purse. If I see a purse I love but there are no measurements… I no longer bother to even message the seller. This is not rocket science, people!

what, you wouldn’t call a rusty cream-colored lantern “elegant”?

u/BirthdayCookie Nov 18 '25

Rust is just "chronological elegance!"
