   Too many fees. TOO MANY FEES! Stop charging so much to sellers and buyers. Plants are decreasing in value. Also, palmstreet often does not support buyers and sellers and charges small sellers more for everything. Shame on you and your greed. Palm street charges EVERYONE fees and is attacking people in reviews? Thanks for showing your true self. Minus one star for such a pathetic argument-no transparency, tiered fees, buyers and sellers BOTH suffer from this greed

   View. Im new to this site, are we not allowed to view palmstreet on the computer? I hate being delimited on what the actual item fully looks like instead of a small screen. Do we get to shop through the computer?

   They allow bullies.. They allow known scammers and bullies to sell and go live. The fact one particular bully has been reported SEVERAL times by SEVERAL people, and they refuse to do anything is garbage. PS made money off this particular seller so they’re untouchable. “We take harassment seriously”…no you don’t. Because if you did, this seller wouldn’t be going live just to trash talk other sellers regularly.

   SCAM app. They won't help you if there's an issue. Ever.. If you want a decent shopping experience, download Whatnot. They actually protect their buyers and I've only had one issue on their app. On Palmstreet? Nah. They don't help you. Very seller friendly I guess, but if a seller scams you then you're just outta luck.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Application. Too hard to become a seller

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Use WhatNot. Such a scam

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   They protect the sellers only. Even if you have a plant shipped next day air and it arrives dead !. They protect the sellers only. Bought a $400 plant. Had it shipped next day air and it arrived dead and rotting. The seller wouldn’t refund me, claims it died during transit. All Palmstreet did was offer $100 credit. SMH absolutely ridiculous there is no way that plant died in 16 hours with temps around 65°

   Caution. You can sell all you want , but don’t expect to get paid , not after your orders are sent , not after they are received, not after you have done everything required of you , you’ll get paid when they decide you do , you can send your product all over the globe , but again you won’t get paid . At least not when you expect to . Check out MM your transactions are instant

   Plants are not cheap!. The ad said that you could get affordable plants. Not true! Most are over priced plants that I can get at my local nursery for less.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible customer service. They do not respond to messages about issues!!! Never using Palmstreet again… EVER!!

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor Treatment of Sellers. Updating their program out of nowhere and will now do monthly evaluations on sellers and will offboard sellers from the program if they don’t sell up to $25,000 over a 3 month period?!?! INSANE!!! I took a screenshot of yalls new update taking place April 30th. Taking away from small businesses and people who sell crafts and stuff as a hobby for side money to help with bills. How disgusting. I thought this was supposed to support small businesses? Just another monopoly. Super disappointed. Deleting the app and will now support small businesses directly!!! Change this policy and make it right for the sellers.

    New Update is Not Good 👎. It’s impossible to see who is bidding on an auction and when someone wins, it goes away…which isn’t helpful. The comment section is terrible, if there’s a pinned comment, you can’t see all of it and then you can’t see multiple comments. No heart anymore?? Just not a good update at all

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No help for buyers. A seller can send you whatever they want and there’s no chance for a refund.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Predatory Manipulative Ads. I see ads all the time suggesting 90% off a plant. There are so many restrictions and it’s only up to $10. Crazy manipulative ads. Waste of time downloading

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible app. Horrible app. I have no problem selling items anywhere else but can’t get approved or even a reason why they won’t approve my seller status

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t recommend. They don’t have any buyer security and you really take a gamble buying from here. Don’t recommend

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Weird. You turn notifications off and it still sends you notifications on their popular sellers going live. Weird sales practices from many sellers being secually weird to get sales.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    PLEASE FIX YOUR NOTIFICATION SETTINGS. Love the app, love connecting with small sellers. Plants are my hobby. They are relaxing. Do you know what is not relaxing? Receiving 100+ notifications on this app every goddamn day. I get notifications for everything EXCEPT the lives I bookmark. What is the point of offering a setting in app to modify push notifications if those settings don’t alter how often you receive notifications?? If you notify users so often- it makes those notifications less valuable to them. I have literally had to turn off notifications & make manual calendar events for sellers I enjoy. I wouldn’t mind 1-2 promoted sales a day if that affects y’alls cashflow, but the current level of inundation is just insane. Please actually allow adjustments on user notifications. I am literally begging you

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    What a joke!!. I cant believe this is considered an app.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    AI slop. Too much ai generated garbage

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor customer service. Purchasing plants on this app can be a nightmare. They have very little seller accountability. You can’t get replies from sellers and when you reach out the PS support they tell you to “give them a chance”. Even after extended periods where sellers do not reply, after reaching out on the platform, and by outside resources provided by the seller you will get customer service from PS that deflects and says they will ask the seller to get back to you. Completely different to how an application like Etsy or eBay handles those sorts of situations. STAY AWAY.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible app. No sellers on no activity

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    NOT FOR BEAUTY. If you’re a beauty seller don’t waste your time on this app. They have zero followers

24. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Buggy. Works when it feels like. Tech support no help. App is extremely buggy. They don’t have a way to actually clear out and install a new account so any issues when you are online are recreated upon reinstalling the app. Delete, reinstall, clear cache, delete, reinstall. Nothing works. But it still remembers user id. Continually says there are zero people on the live. If you open the app and it doesn’t work correctly, you may as well remove it as there is no way to fix it and no one at Palmstreet to help

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Recently. This app is great when it’s great however I have been having so many issues not being able to bid or see how many people are in the live.. not that I care about the viewers but it’s my clear indication that I am not going to be able to purchase anything other than what they have in the showcase. I’ve reached out to support and have done all the things they told me, clear cache go out go back in sign out sign back in uninstall install turn your phone off and then back on. It’s becoming a pain to consistently have to do this.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wont give me my earnings. I’m a broke college student and to make some extra cash I decided to sell my crocheted plushies I make on this app since lots of people recommend it. I’ve sold over 100$ and when it was time to payout I haven’t been able to. Support has done nothing and now I’m here without money for my work. Terrible support, I want the money I earned!

27. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Latest build is buggy. Features don’t show up like the auctions don’t show up in the app and photos fail to load. Making it hard to buy things when you can bid because the app is slow. Same on cellular as WiFi.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    To long to go live. One start

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No notifications!. Despite clicking the notification bell the last few auctions I wanted to attend, I was not notified. Once I hit that bell I expect to notified. I rely on that so I can attend the auction and support my favorite sellers.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t waste your time and money. The app is not very user friendly and that’s the good part. After you are approved to sell, explain to customer service exactly what you sell and how you sell it, and get an email stating that it is within policy to sell, they decide to ban you after the first show. To make it even worse, they continue to allow other sellers selling the exact same items to continue selling. The rules do not apply to everyone the same. Customer service will respond to questions with an answer even a seasoned politician would say sidesteps the question. Very disappointed and will not be back.
