Anyone else disagree with this? My post office lady is always in awe that my buyers had to pay $4.99 for something that would of cost me $1.29 to ship. I think the $5.95 rate will definitely make me think twice of buying....really the $4:99 cost already held me back from purchasing cheaper items!!

They already take a 20% cut of every sale, which I think is a plenty fair compensation for using their platform. The shipping rates feel like just another way to take money away from our sales for themselves. They know the start and ending location of all shipments and that they are under 5 pounds. They are probably making as much off the insanely high shipping as some of the sales I've made. 😡 Anyone know of or use any similar apps?

@kelly9090 you are spot on with your comment ... this increase will now just decrease sales for sellers ... tons of estores have servicea like shoprunner with free 2-day shipping ... to pay $6.49 for low cost items won't be worthwhile anymore

@kelly9090 I actually wasn't having any luck on Poshmark so I created UNItiques.com at my college which is basically like a younger, more campusy Poshmark. We take 15% and have lower shipping :) but anways the whole point of the website was to empower the women! thought it might be something you want to check out!

@kayray YES - I made www.UNItiques.com my senior year of college. We take 15% and even allow sellers to run promotions like promo codes & free shipping so that it doesn't come out of your sales. we also have a 33% seller success rate as compared to Poshmark's 7.5. That's because our website is tailored to a more niche, younger demographic. Typically we require a .edu email to join but I'm happy to give you an account. just email me alex @ unitiques.com (of course its free). xoxo.

I was amazed that I didn't receive a million notifications about the increase. At least with other sites I've had them send me multiple notifications advising of increased costs. This one completely shocked me! And I absolutely agree it makes me think twice about purchasing something. Typically I won't make a purchase unless I can bundle or get reduced shipping. But the shipping costs definitely deter me from one item purchases. And it's sad!
Feb 09Reply
jordanlynn96
I agree also the post office always questions me about shipping. They have told me several times that they think the company isn't charging correctly for shipping. They are already making significant commissions on sales. Plus they get shipping fees from buyers. When is enough going to be enough?!? I already have to charge higher prices due to seller fees. Now my buyers get deterred even more because of shipping costs! Poshmark needs to restructure and make this right.

@mrscotter The shipping fee had stopped me from making multiple purchases. What would be a reasonable cost for an item suddenly sky rockets. Especially with me makeup and skincare. With shipping a lot of listings are higher then can be bought in store. 6.50 for am urban decay eyeshadow single that is 5oz? Ridiculous. I love poshmark but I think it may be time to breakup with it.

This is so upsetting. I've been on Poshmark for a long time but I agree with everyone, time to look elsewhere. I was about to shop this eve after a long hiatus but stopped in my tracks when I noticed shipping is now $6.95!!!? Almost as much as the top I was going to purchase. Ridiculous. Shipping doesn't cost that much and they need to look at other options for buyers, especially those of us who used to make purchases and no longer do because of this issue 😪😒

hoetheplumber
I googled this to see if others were as over PM as I am. I had likes I was debating on, hesitant because the high cost of shipping per item adds up. I'm a very specific shopper, so bundling is impractical. I was ready to make purchases after doing the math, then noticed it went up AGAIN! $6.49 per piece of used clothing?! Greedy! It keeps going up, up! Time to walk away. It was a great concept, just poorly executed. I'd only use PM now for rare items you can't find anywhere else.

Wow!! The shipping is more than $6 now!! They already charge 20% fee and now ridiculous shipping. I have M account too, but for some reason I sell more here, even my price on M is lower.

They are pushing too much with their shipping fee. Is their any other platform for cloth resell, that anybody could recommend?

hey2u2
Most of the sellers have accurate pricing on their items and it sucks that I have to offer lower just to make it balance out to what they are offering for. I don't get why Poshmark doesn't just offer two options: one for expedited shipping and one for ground. 90% of the time I don't need items that quickly and they would still be able to track whether an item was delivered with a tracking number. It really deters me from buying items when the shipping is half of what the actual item is.

I hope in the near future they can do something to make shipping free or something within reason like 1.99-2.99 max. I mean they could pay the shipping difference or something! The cost to ship has stopped me from making many purchases - high or low pricing or not. It’s like if I order 5 items from 5 different sellars that’s a whopping 32 or 33 dollars I have to eat for shipping costs when they are making an overly fair amount off items being sold on their site.

Sales are too slow or nonexistent on this App. No wonder.. shipping is ridiculously expensive here. Almost $7 to ship something that is light as a feather.

I think they need to renegotiate and share these negotiations with Posh mark since we are the ones that pay these fees. Anyway I think this should be used to get items to the public but not the only marketing. Good ole garage sales are free. Sometimes I shake my head when after a sale I will have to be creative...commission and customers iffy about shipping fees I will loose more in the long run than I gain trying to discount what is already discounted.

@hopebailey111 I also don’t like the option to offer discounted or free shipping as they have it set up. If you take money off the item cost then that is split between you and posh but if you offer free shipping then they take the full amount directly out of your profit instead of splitting it 80/20. Shady.

@capcityhippie Merc is way cheaper, as is eBay. They also have support that you can actually CALL! An they don't ask you to do their job in reviewing listings that may be selling fakes. The shipping prices vary on those sites since the seller gets to decide how much to charge. Charging priority prices for things that may weigh much less, AND allowing a week for sellers to chip makes no sense. Why force priority shipping if you still may not get your item for almost 10 days?

@kamchotka As a seller, I don’t recall being notified of the shipping rate increase, ugh Poshmark! $6.79 was already too high and too few buyers bundle. Too much of a time sucker constantly sharing; no one wants to pay $7.11 to ship clothing items, Poshmark should have LOWERED shipping rates, not sneakily RAISE them on us.

@bethuhhknee I submitted a complaint as well. The reply I got (which, by the way does not address my original request to have a nominal shipping rate for items that weigh mere ounces) blamed it on USPS rate increases. And Poshmark says they already pay a portion of the shipping cost. REALLY?? So they are saying an item that weighs 3 ounces costs MORE than $7.11 to ship? Fraudulent for sure. Highway robbery.

@gaskjp I’ve shipped things on other platforms and the most it costs to ship lower weight items is $2.99 and only $4.99 for packages that weigh 1 pound definitely not $7.11. The only way I can even imagine it costing that much is if they’re are doing it by the 5 pound weight limit but most items sold don’t even come close to weighing that much so it’s just a way for them to profit.

Outrageous! They not only make the buyer pay a shipping fee but they also take a % from sellers and I don’t think that is fair. I sell on another app called Vinted, which is not too popular but they have always made sure there is no profit taken from sellers, you get to keep your whole sale and shipping is reasonable for buyers too!

I'm curious to know what the NSA is between the USPS and Poshmark. In Posh's defense, 3-day priority starts at $7.50, so $7.11 is a reduced rate. That being said, it is possible Posh negotiated an even lower rate, but simply isn't passing that to its users. We get cheaper shipping based, but I'd prefer if Posh had more shipping options than 3-day priority. I'd be happy with ground if cheaper.

@bathbeautystore Back to my original gripe. Ok, so priority shipping is $8.50 at the post office. As a buyer who has waited up to 7 days for a seller to ship because of the silly Poshmark policy, why would I need to pay for priority shipping? By this time I have already waited way too long for the seller to ship. Just offer ground rates. Minimal ground rates for items under 1 lb. And thank you again for not being that "slow shipper" :)

The increase in shipping on Posh is totally outrageous. I understand offering your users a flat shipping rate however, it should definitely be geared towards the weight. Shipping a child’s plastic bracelet & ring set vs a bundle of denim jeans & shoes should not cost the same.
Mar 25Reply
chigirlnohio
This definitely slows down sells for the Seller and deters the Buyer. Also Posh taking a 20% of the earnings (in addition to the cost of shipping) is already too much and leaves very little room for Seller to 1)make profit or in some cases 2)break even.
Mar 25Reply
chigirlnohio
Therefore, i’ve found that Posh is typically good for items that have minimal value to the Seller (meaning...you’d donate the item to goodwill but if you’re happy if a few buck can be made). There are so many other Platforms that only take 10%, help the Seller move their items via promotions & engage their Buyers through rewards. In my humble opinion, Posh will become a selling platform of the past if they don’t figure out how to revamp their site & increase their usability.

Shipping rates are so high and items don’t deliver on time. Disappointed in the high fees and feeling sorry for sellers/buyers.

Chaps my a$$ that I’m paying over $7 for priority when the shipper takes a week to even ship the item🙄$7.11 for basically 10 day shipping? Hard pass. I have many items in my wishlist that’ll never get purchased because I can’t justify paying that much in shipping on an $8 makeup brush. Thanks for stiffing us PM😡

That’s why I only shop on the days they offer free shipping and only those days. Like yesterday they offered free shipping all day but other than that I will not buy anything from Poshmark because the shipping rate is outrageous and ridiculous. (robbers)

The shipping and cut that postmark takes out is absolutely absurd. who will pay 4.99 shipping or 7.99 shipping on a 10 dollar item!! I've deleted this app so many times because its frustrating! its not even worth it half the time.

I was pretty certain I was going to start selling on poshmark but after seeing how shipping is orchestrated, I'm out. The whole premise is a complete scam. Poshmark will continue to raise shipping costs so long as ppl keep supporting the platform. Take a stand and move on.

It is because of the $7.11 shipping that I have not bought a few items off of here that I would otherwise have loved to own because they were a good deal, outside of the exorbitant shipping.
Unfortunately, paying almost half the cost of the item itself to shipping is both absurd and not worth it at all. I will just go to a place that is either offers free shipping or cheaper shipping.
Although I am a buyer, I also think a 20% cut is incredibly, especially with such ridiculous shipping costs.

@taxti yeah.... screw that bs, either sellers are gonna be dropping their prices for shipping more now or I don’t know. Also, I don’t know why more sellers don’t use a place like Facebook.... it’s way better.

@skittlesluv4201 I only buy if I’m not paying the full shipping cost to be honest, unless the item is some crazy steal where even with shipping it’s an amazing find.

@jayes27 what I don’t get is why do so many people (sellers) still sell on here. If sellers boycott this site, then Poshmark may wake up. As long as people continue to sell, they don’t care, why would they?

@fancyricenbeans $7.45 now!!!
😖I sell stuff $10 and lower - and who wants to pay shipping equal items price?
...most retailers offer free shipping for buyers, and lower commercial rates for sellers - and PM makes us to walk away(((
Feb 04Reply
aylaaktan
@taxti I definitely know as a buyer I do not buy stuff that is has a shipping more than the product’s price itself unless the deal is so amazing, even with shipping the cost is still reasonable. Unfortunately with this site that is rarely the case.
I have found way better luck on Facebook Marketplace honestly.

As a seller (and Posh Ambassador) who sells mostly lower priced and lightweight items, I just sent this email to Poshmark support.
With USPS increasing rates, we as sellers need more affordable shipping options for items under 1lb, which would qualify for USPS 1st Class Mail rates.
As sellers we are losing out on many sales as the default $7.45 shipping fee is killing us on small and lower priced items (i.e. items under $10). No buyer is going to pay almost the same amount in shipping costs t

triadpc7605
that the item is selling for.
Please work out a deal with the USPS that will allow your sellers to ship smaller and cheaper items at USPS 1st Class Mail rates. A prime example is your competitor (eBay) is now allowing you to ship sports cards items under 3oz at $.91 and that price includes tracking. If this continues, I may have to close my closet and go back to eBay, even though I just earned Posh Ambassador status. With the already 20% Posh fees, there should be better built-in discounted

$7.45 this is crazy! Every year they keep upping it even more! I don’t get why this is so expensive and don’t give buyer options on shipping? You mail out a pair of shirts that don’t even weigh a pound and that’s $7.45? Or a tiny eye shadow? Makes no sense!

wow. i just noticed the now 7.45 shipping rate and found this thread while searching for answers to what i was seeing. ive only been selling on posh for a short while, but to see that regular shipping rate used to only be 4.99?? just wow... with so many people being dissatisfied with all the burden that falls on the sellers (including the fact that poshmarks customer service seems to only respond to buyer issues) what can we do?? just leave?
Feb 14Reply
aylaaktan
@faith1074 Lol... it makes complete sense, Poshmark is getting greedy and are wanting to make more money than they already make off of sellers. It's that simple, unfortunate, but as long as sellers continue to sell on here, they won't care or listen to what sellers want. Companies like this will only start to listen if their wallet starts to hurt. 🤷🏻♀️
Feb 15Reply
aylaaktan
@papirbyrd I would say yes, Poshmark doesn't care at all about the sellers and until they start to feel the impact (financially) of sellers leaving because they are being taken advantage of, they won't change a single thing.

@papirbyrd as a buyer and seller, I love Facebook Marketplace and it seems like not many people talk about that site. 🤷🏻♀️
Feb 16Reply
papirbyrd
when you sell on there, is it like an extension of your personal account? or are you able to set up a separate "store"
Feb 16Reply
aylaaktan
@papirbyrd i mean you could create a whole separate Facebook account dedicated to your "store"; however, most people will probably think you're a scammer since just about everyone uses their personal account to sell.
I know when I shop on there, if I am wondering if something or someone is legitimate, I will see their seller rating and then maybe look at the account to see if it looks fake (if they don't have any reviews for some reason).

Oh it's unbelievable. And they still take their 20% and we have to eat shipping costs to even sell anything. I use FB marketplace and like it better! Cash no questions asked. This site is so greedy and I hate how sellers have to GIVE crap away just to sell anything. I didn't like Me🚙ri and E bay sucks, so where can we go to reach a life audience like Poshmark? I didnt mind $5 shipping but now its out of control.

Many items on poshmark are on FB too. Poshmark has better search/browse, but once you know the item, can find it on FB. Please list items on FB too. Perhaps use a unique code to find on FB? Then the seller/buyer can determine shipping instead of imposed top-down by Poshmark. I just paid $7.95 to ship a $9 pair of shoes. That is very high per item. It would help if we could sort liked items by seller, or if Poshmark platform found a bundle from liked items.

This is going to be a Poshmark crisis! What are they thinking ?!! This bad for buyers and sellers… how can sellers make their profit with a small side business, not even business- a side hustle and how can buyers not have to pay freaking almost $8 shipping for a $18 lipstick. They already take 20% from the sellers purchase plus tax plus the price we lower from retail already… and now the shipping is higher???
Feb 22Reply
bellabossbeauty
It’s not even worth it to sell lower than retail value but no one’s is coming in your closet to buy something they can buy at the store for the same price . Poshmark says it’s best to lower your items retail price by 30%-50% to get a sale. Wtf? So let me already give 30% off retail , give 20% to Poshmark and give discounted shipping . Literally not even a reasonable profit.

This is bad for sellers and buyers . Who wants to buy a $15 lipstick with $8 shipping . It’s frustrating for both . I had a bundle of 4 items all below retail price and gave $5.95 discount and at the end of it all, it’s like I gave two of those items for free. This is a cluster F**k and idk 🤷🏻♀️ what else to say about it
