@anewstar dear, what is this ??can u explain us briefly??
amreenbeauty
Seriously this is rediculous, i was thinking the same ?! we don't make enough money on here everything is heavily discounted for buyers, then we gotta pay commission to poshmark which is fine they take GST on poshmark fee now if the government takes GST's too. I don't think it'll be worth it to sell anymore on here sadly :(

@janujanu999 Just saw this. I’m wondering how do they decide who’s liable to register. Surely @pm_editor_in won’t deactivate listings from every single closet? I for one have zero tax liability since I don’t have an income except for a few odd sales on here. So how is this supposed to work? How are students and other groups exempt from taxes or low-income taxpayers supposed to reckon with this?
darshana_2605
I don't have a business I'm just a mom why would I get gstn no. what is wrong with Poshmark. this needs to be clearly explained by them before just abruptly asking us to do it.

aurora_wardrobe
@darshana_2605 Yes that is what I meant by ‘deactivate’ since a listing marked ‘not for sale’ is essentially useless in terms of generating any interest. Or sales. This seems grossly unfair if they don’t provide us with an option* to circumvent this.
aurora_wardrobe
We aren’t big businesses looking to expand operations; most of us are people who use Poshmark not as a source of supplemental income to their regular paychecks but rather as the only source, selling whatever little they can.

Even if one applies for GST it’s impossible to get one before 20.4.2023 and that too they don’t give you unless you have a legit business 🤦🏻♀️. Who takes GST no. for goods lying in your closet on which you’ve already paid taxes while buying. 🤷♀️. Isn’t it enough that we pay huge commission and taxes on commission on products we’ve already paid taxes on while buying. Unless we reach a sale of 20L this shouldn’t be applied to any of us.
janujanu999
@aurora_wardrobe now they are charging gst 1% on sold price,’telling that some PAN rule.. dear @pm_editor_in plz explain us 1.how this GST useful/works for common people?
2. Incase if we enter with GST , will u charge gst on our sale amount or withdrawals??
3.if yes , how much the % will ??

sakhi_n
if i has to get GSTIN..I would have sold on Amazon..Why would I sell Nwt listing here?
This is completely ridiculous..I thought we are paying GST to poshmark and they are paying to government on our behalf..
Getting GSTIN will allow us to claim tax benefit as tax paid..but anyways the amount is very small to do such tedious work for that..
a__star
@aurora_wardrobe Not only do you have to apply for GST, GST needs to be filed quarterly for which you need a GST consultant. Not only that they will need you to put HSN for each product which common people may not even know. So you actually will end up paying GST on sales, you’ll need to pay consultant too. And to forget the charges to file GST. Most closets will shut. I’ve already put a disclaimer on my closet.

@pm_editor_in Hey please help us to get through this!!
amreenbeauty
@sakhi_n Same thoughts here, I thought poshmark pays GST to the government as we pay GST on Poshmark fee and they're entitled to cause they're making profits cause of us. It doesn't make sense why do we have to create a GSTIN when we aren't huge businesses. Like you said we could simply sell our most NWT items on Amazon, Flipkart and so on...
a__star
@tenyang06 🙃🙃 some us 5 max.
sakhi_n
@amreenbeauty Getting GSTIN isn't easy ..it needs documents which we obviously don't have
amreenbeauty
@a__star So true it's a long process for GSTIN and it's rediculous to do that when we don't earn enough and are not huge businesses lol
amreenbeauty
@sakhi_n Yep exactly!
miraithrifts
@a__star oh God
Am I seriously expected to get GSTIN for decluttering items from my closet? We’re not earning too much anyways from here! I will have to shut my closet only!
a__star
@amreenbeauty Here’s hoping we sell our entire closets by 20.4.2023 😹🙈🤦🏻♀️ especially with the low ball offers we all receive and the hoaxes and ghosters. 😹

@miraithrifts Have already put a disclaimer on my closet. 🙈🤦🏻♀️ because if this is a Government mandate I doubt POSH will be able to help us here. For me it feels like shut before take off. 🙈😭😭😭
amreenbeauty
@a__star hahaha i hope so too. But i wanna make sure we atleast get clarity to our concerns from poshmark before we take away our closets which we've worked hard for as a seller.
amreenbeauty
@a__star seriously though 😭😭
miraithrifts
@a__star yeah same! I had hopes from this platform but sadly I can’t really continue now! 😭
aurora_wardrobe
@a__star I don’t really know how any of this works. All I know is that one needs to register their sales of secondhand good only when the taxable supply is well beyond the threshold which is around 20 lakhs from business sales. Hoping we’re given some respite here.
a__star
@amreenbeauty Under shock honestly 🙈 I hope we do hear from them

@aurora_wardrobe Exactly right! That was my understanding too.
Small sellers like us seem to have no chance at all. So disappointed especially after spending hours on creating our closet. @miraithrifts

@closetbybr @pm_editor_in im just reseller not even seller cnt apply for GST im in government job. Never thought passing on preloved goods make us seller. U know very well none of reowned sites where u can pass on ur luxury has such things. I think this should be applicable to only seller n not reseller.
miraithrifts
@diyagshop exactly dude!!!
And even if we do it on another persons gst, we will have to find someone who does the same business because that person can only do that business which is mentioned in their company’s memorandum and articles of association (Company Law gets involved) they cannot sell or transact in any thing other than that mentioned in their MOA/ AOA
Hahaha
And people like us are barely earning by selling our closet items, we pay gst, we pay consultants, what is left for us?
closetbybr
@diyagshop indeed a proper channel to inform the community was what was expected from poshmark team india but this didn’t happen from there side- I am still hoping that it’s some glitch which keep happening in poshmark ( Finger cross) BUT FOR SURE WE ALL AS A POSH COMMUNITY WOULD NEED AN ANSWER BY TOMORROW @pm_editor_ind
miraithrifts
@diyagshop yes absolutely
This was actually my only source of income since I am in the process of changing careers
I had started de cluttering my closet so that I could earn a little and the clothes that are just lying around are actually used by someone who wants them!
miraithrifts
@diyagshop yeah! There isn’t much posh will be able to do immediately
littleloots
Hi! I'm relatively new here. Can't imagine how disheartening this must be for you guys. Just a thought. what if everyone shifts to I G? All the shopping pag es that I follow over there who do drops once or twice a week are usually sold out of at least 70-80% of their listings. If you guys shift there and take your followers with you, and if everybody from here gets together and actively promotes each other's I G business pages too, I think it may actually be a better platform to sell on.
littleloots
What if we each create a business page over there for ourselves and put up a disclaimer post on each of our closets here redirecting potential buyers from this platform to our I G pages in case they're interested in our listings. Most of these page owners take payments in advance and run on a strict no return/no refund basis. Most of them are also selling at much higher prices than some of you are, and they still sell out. Does this seem like a viable option to you bunch?
littleloots
Also, Delhi very seems to service most pincodes and it is pretty easy to ship with them. Lesser hassle than this place IMO
suru227
So apparently this GST Thingy was implemented last year in poshmark Canada.
This year it seems to be implemented here .
No Indian Poshmark Sellers earn 20 lakh annually through poshmark so filling GST RETURN must be tedious for many Sellers and a burden as well.
Getting a GST number is no biggie but repercussions of having it must be. like one must file taxes monthly or quarterly basis but as we are low key players so we have to fill Nill return.
miraithrifts
@diyagshop yes I know right!!
I’ll probably take a screenshot of the notes and keep them with me now
Also, all the best for your exams!
Hopefully there’s a solution soon
miraithrifts
@littleloots it’s a little difficult to get buyers to come to I G because here they trust that they won’t be looted
Many people have been looted by a number of I G pages
I already have an account there but sales are very slow right now
But yes we can surely ask people to shift
miraithrifts
@suru227 yeah true
The return filing is tedious, every quarter
The fees for filing gst
Plus paying a consultant to do it
Plus any penalties if not filed on time
It’s just a tedious job
And most of us are just earning a few thousands from here so don’t know how worthwhile it’ll be
miraithrifts
@diyagshop yepp
Oyela it is now!
littleloots
@miraithrifts Ah ok. Thank you for that insight!
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe so the tax on our income and gst are two separate things
It doesn’t matter if you’re in low income group or no income group
Anyone who provides interstate sales that is seller in a different state and buyer in a different state, the seller needs to be registered as per the GST Law
There is not much poshmark can do about it unless they find a loophole or something
miraithrifts
@amreenbeauty poshmark was taking gst on the services it provided to us and not on the sale per se
From what I understand
miraithrifts
@littleloots no worries :)
suru227
@littleloots loots its sound good but That platform demands different kinds of presentations for sales .
@miraithrifts Exactly.. it's not that worth it because if someone will follow the same business route path ( having proper GST and all) why would anyone give 25%cut to a platform ITS HUGE.
miraithrifts
@suru227 yeah true about the presentation also
And like just posting a product won’t get you anywhere
You needs to make reels and stay veryy consistent with the reels particularly
littleloots
@suru227 Yeah, that's true. Don't you guys think that Oyela will also eventually have to follow suit on this new mandate though?
miraithrifts
@suru227 yeah exactly
20% commission, 18% gst on services of pm, 1% tcs and then another I think 18% GST on sales
Its too much
miraithrifts
@monk777 @thriftswithlove
suru227
@miraithrifts Damit it so true 🫤Out of sight out of mind kinda Funda .. Consistency is key ..And nobody wants to scroll after 20 posts max to max .This is why PM is better because it is a selling app .
suru227
@littleloots I have an account there as well ,umm It didn't work for me I would say .But yeah regarding that GST implementation thing .. Definitely maybe in June or in 6 months .

@pm_editor_in this is ridiculous. No one is going to use poshmark if this happens,
lazy_panda_1305
i already pay tax to govt. as per new tax rule, this is rediculous, so much harrassment by money deduction from everywhere, and govt. wont provide gstin to people doing merely reselling and below 20L bussiness earning
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 thank you for the tag. @pm_editor_in @anewstar I think you should arrange to address this concern for the poshers selling here. As far as I am aware,
1. Selling of personally used goods should not attract taxes. So are the seller's here who are selling personal belongings required to have a gstin in the first place?
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 @pm_editor_in @anewstar
2. If yes, registering for gstin requires proof of incorporation of business. Most of us here are ordinary girls and women who are just destashing personal goods for some extra cash and it can't really be called a business in the true sense.
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 @pm_editor_in @anewstar
3. When we click on the link of Poshmark to enter gstin, it states that if a person doesn't provide gstin, he/she is accepting that he is selling goods not for furtherance of business. Require a clarification there as that is the case with most of us.
I think addressing this issue at the earliest would avoid a lot of discontent amongst the Poshmark community and business impact on PM also. please treat this as priority.
allaboutoneself
@pm_editor_in please team, give a thought to all those mails you receive, we have always chosen this platform over others. hoping you will come up with a solution for this too.
janujanu999
@dranukapoor but no one is responding still from PM
latestclothes
very bad news, going to close my Profile here.😔
janujanu999
@dranukapoor i read that thing also … what is “”furtherance of business “”related to this???
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 I think they will in the due course of time. This has come out of the blue from somewhere. My guess, even PM would have received a backlash from somewhere. The gstin regulations state that individuals selling goods through ecommerce platforms should be registered for gstin :( If it's a government mandate, wait and watch is the best we can do at the moment.
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 that means we are undertaking that we are not selling goods here for business purpose.
janujanu999
@dranukapoor which means… by not providing gst we accept that we are not sellers to expand our business, but in notification it’s clearly saying if we don’t provide gst ,our listings will be not for sale after entering gst details, listings will be available… this is mainly what bothers me😭
luxuryrehomed
@janujanu999 they need to clarify the contradiction. we can't expect a response till Monday I think. Their offices would be closed due to good Friday and Saturday, sunday.

@a__star After this GSTIN announcement I'm sure more than 90% of sellers are going to deactivate their account, We have always prioritized Posh as No.1 than any other app.
I don't think in this posh can do anything for us because this is govt rules so unfortunately I think we have a too either clear our closet before 20 april or find any alternative options for our source 🥺

Hello Poshers!
We hear you and we’d like to reiterate that this is a Government mandate. All sellers making inter state supplies, irrespective of turnover, selling on E-Commerce platforms must have a GSTIN. Unfortunately, at this juncture, a second hand sale is not recognised separately. We understand your concerns and have been communicating to the authorities about the same and will continue to work to empower and enable our communities to thrive.
pm_editor_in
This requirement is not just for Poshmark but for any E-commerce marketplace with strict penalties for non-compliance. As Poshmark strengthens our footprint internationally, we would like to ensure that we as a community adhere to the laws of the land and grow together, with many promising opportunties ahead.
We are committed to supporting all our members and look forward to your continued presence and engagement on Poshmark India.

@pm_editor_in who r seller who intent to make profit and here we r reselling it on loss. And by this logic we r not even legally allowed to sell these branded goods bcs all the brand or label dnt allow to resell and they are for personal consumption. This is unfair scrutiny the purpose of prelove reuse come to an end! 99 percent of us r in jobs practice we cnt apply for gst- cnt hold two office of profits
luxuryrehomed
@sakhi_n the boutique certification is only for nwt from manufacturer goods right? I tried to register for GSTIN as a normal taxpayer....it's a very complicated process and requires lot of legal documentation it looks like. I think even PM hands must be tied as it's a govt regulation. Looks like a dead end for us till PM finds a solution :(
mala_spice
I was using poshmark just to clear out my own clothes which I had purchased for myself but cannot wear anymore due to fit and change in personal taste. Definitely not as a business.
amreenbeauty
Dear @pm_editor_in Please we request you to resolve this issue with GSTIN. We're a family here and we Posh Ambassadors have worked hard to keep poshmark the happy place to purchase for all the poshers/buyers. Kindly keep us updated with the communications with the government authorities so we know if there's gonna be any resolution. If not I hate to say this but most of us sellers won't be operating on this platform anymore :(
sakhi_n
@dranukapoor I am telling you from my experience.. Taxation after GST registration is more tedious process ..so it's advisable for business who have turnover more than 20L to enroll fro GST..
appu_s8
@a__star I agree. It’s time to say bye 🙁
amreenbeauty
@sehgal29 I'm so not happy with the decision of the government authorities why don't they understand we're not huge businesses operating in different states in India on this platform earning 20 to 40 lakhs.. I just hope they'll be an immediate resolution for this chaos :(
sehgal29
@amreenbeauty i feel Poshmark is not able to present their case well before concern or they themselves want to make another m**sho and just concern about their profit at large and treated us like dirt
alao137
@pm_editor_in there is no way, we are all going to get the gst. This can trigger a huge immigration to other reseller app from Poshmark. Kindly, look into this issue seriously.
sehgal29
@pm_editor_in we are all ready to file joint pil in case u r concern about our interest who has actually put an efforts to create listing n one day everything just washed away
amreenbeauty
@sehgal29 I never thought about it that way, but it's so not happening cause there won't be many sellers operating on poshmark anymore except for few boutiques. Lol m**sho app is just a hype app one of the worst ones out there. But if poshmark wants to be one of them I'm wishing them good luck.
luxuryrehomed
@sakhi_n yeah I can understand. I read that one has to file monthly or quarterly? Here filing the annual IT on regular income is such a hassle, who will file GST returns for that peanut earnings from PM sales 😱😭
sakhi_n
@dranukapoor Exactly..i hardly earn 4-5 k monthly here..why should I go for such hassle
luxuryrehomed
@sehgal29 if selling preloved branded good is not legal, how are businesses like Luxepolis thriving?
sakhi_n
@azualacloset yes it doesn't make sense to register for GST unless you are a big business
sakhi_n
@azualacloset Let's wait and watch..we are all in this together
luxuryrehomed
@sakhi_n may be PM should go in for a consignment model, ie they sell goods on our behalf even though we do the listings, negotiations and the regular activities. I wonder if that is possible and would help. In that case PM would be the "seller"
sehgal29
@dranukapoor if we talk the way Poshmark is talking than nothing is legal. I will say they have to work on their legal team . And yes i have read serval times on bill in t&c this is meant for personal consumption and not for resell. Luxpolis zinosa all r working well with support of good advisory and legal team
aurora_wardrobe
@miraithrifts I see. I think the best way forward would be to clearly designate what qualifies as “business expansion”. Let’s consider this, anyone who makes 10-15< sales a month should be considered a “de-clutterer” and exempt from this change. I know this is more in keeping with an interstate sale- transactions rule but there must be a way to circumvent this? @pm_editor_in
aurora_wardrobe
Can there be some sort of cap for number of listings, sales, transaction value per month to help allow us to continue here without a GSTIN? And those who wish to ‘further’ their sales beyond the allowed limit must then register/comply with this rule. @pm_editor_in
a__star
@dranukapoor Consignment model will also require GSTIN.
a__star
@dranukapoor Also let’s not forget the cost of filing. GST consultant charges, paying taxes and ensuring no mistake is made. Also the cost of applying for GST no. And the process is very tedious.

@thriftswithlove I’ve put a disclaimer! Sell as much as I can in two weeks as there is no clear solution to this right now
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe that is upto the govt
Poshmark can’t do it on it’s own will
Only if authorities agree will this apply
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe as per gst law, no matter the number of sales or earnings, if you want to make even one interstate sale through e-commerce, you need gst
Poshmark will have to talk to the authorities and come up with something for us
Because I am for sure not getting gst right now

@closetbybr Looter Govt needs more money

aurora_wardrobe
@miraithrifts All discussions here are to try to get Poshmark to work around that rule (if possible) and if* there is any scope to remap their strategy while still in alignment with the law it is to create a clear cut distinction between income generating sales and personal de-stashing (just an idea). While this may disqualify some closets it will still allow people to engage on this app in an organic way. @pm_editor_in

🆘️📢 Hello Poshmark
Many sellers here are AAM AADMI (Normal People) decluttering their closet here!!
TAX THAT TOO? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
‼🆘️PLS TAKE ACTION. ELSE
YOU WILL LOSE WONDERFUL BUYERS LIKE ME AND ALSO A HUGE SELLER BASE.
‼ I am a Regular Buyer on Poshmark.
‼ I DONOT WANT TO LOSE MY FAVORITE SELLERS !!
@shopfromk @anewstar @anishj @pm_editor_in
@anithasriraman
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe yes I totally get that and even I want some workaround
This was my only source of income right now, not a lot but I was able to float by atleast
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe i hope not
Because poshmark has more to lose than us! So many sellers will go away and pm will have to bear a lot of loss now
miraithrifts
@aurora_wardrobe i hope it’s only a temporary goodbye! Because I want to declutter a whole rack of mine :’(
aurora_wardrobe
@tanz_tanz This is what breaks my heart too. I’ve really grown fond of buying stuff on Poshmark and a lot of those closets were just people trying to de clutter and I happened to be interested in just the product they wanted to re-home. It will be a shame to see this all go.
aurora_wardrobe
@miraithrifts I can understand how that must feel 💔 I really hope there’s something that can be done here.
aurora_wardrobe
@miraithrifts We can only hope for the best and prepare for what seems imminent now :,(

I don't know where to begin with.
Already we get low offer on top of that poshmark cut and double tax on our sale for which we have already paid tax to govt while buying.Strange.

@elizgeorge what is that?
poshandpanache1
@elizgeorge oh, thats great. I have to check that. Thanks for the information.
poshandpanache1
@elizgeorge okay, need to check that.
a__star
@elizgeorge lovely suggestion ❤️❤️ Will find out about it from my consultant tomorrow
a__star
@elizgeorge I think if POSH doesn’t want to lose sellers they will have to find a way. Not getting into GST to sell things lying at home.
a__star
@elizgeorge exactly!! How to make sense of that here. When you get lowballed every single order.
a__star
@elizgeorge They will follow suit soon.
tanz_tanz
@aurora_wardrobe true
Posh is my go to place and I always enjoy. it relaxes my mind.

tanz_tanz

luxuryrehomed
@sehgal29 oh I wasn't aware of that. In my opinion, these brands should be focusing on sale of counterfeits which is hurting their value more, rather than objecting to resale of preloved ones 😄
I hope PM finds a solution soon. I guess there is something like MSME registeration or udyaan or something which recognizes small businesses and requires only aadhar card for validation. Maybe that should be considered?
sehgal29
@dranukapoor i wish it was MSME we all know itwas an not old denomination unfortunately not. It prima facie has its headquarters in US california. I think they have to pay major taxes to govenment so they planned to convert it into another APP having small business and home grown brand. Probably not for ppl like us. If it was made in india than it could have evade or you can say it literally fall in lower tax regime.
sehgal29
@dranukapoor I think they r hiding lot from reseller like us. And other hand luxepolis at one’s deal in 0000’ n more unlike poshmark u knw
shezzde1
@bec_care yes, we are selling for 200/-500/- items & imagine counting GST both ways is utterly rubbish..
luxuryrehomed
@sehgal29 I remember when we sold our old car no one asked for gstin 🙈 here for selling personal old clothes gstin is required 😎😄😄
So you mean it wouldn't hurt PM to get rid of small fish🐠🐋🐟 like us?
a__star
@dranukapoor shouldn’t we all write a letter to the PM?
luxuryrehomed
@a__star I think we could escalate on Twitter tagging some influencers. I guess many women are benefitting from the platform and this is also an environment friendly activity. if we could tag pmo and other relevant ministry social media handles, maybe someone would pay heed?
a__star
@dranukapoor I think we should do that. Because I just spoke to my tax consultant also and she also told me this makes no sense. Just because it’s an online transaction if cannot come under the purview of GST. The Govt. must distinguish between a second hand product and first hand. We won’t even get any GST input credit.
luxuryrehomed
@a__star yes but someone will need to phrase up a properly worded thread with the proper terminologies. ideally it should come from Poshmark because we don't know exactly what was the cause that's led to this requirement and if they have taken any corrective steps/representation with the government authorities.
a__star
@dranukapoor as per Government norms all online selling platforms have to pay GST, especially if the transaction is happening on their portal. But since this was 2nd hand it should have Beene edited but as Posh reverted currently there is no provision in the GST regulation to differentiate between first hand and second hand.
a__star
@dranukapoor I am actually amazed at the Government. Posh is empowering homemakers and others to earn money through this app. Little money but whatever. Moreover, it’s protecting the environment because we are recycling in a way. So I don’t know why they would be so ridiculous 🤷♀️
luxuryrehomed
@a__star I have read in gst regulations that individuals selling goods through ecommerce portals need to have gst, at the same time selling personally used goods are exempt from tax. Despite that we do pay tax through the deductions that Poshmark does from our sales. it's a very contradictory situation.
a__star
@dranukapoor This yes could be because some sellers are using this as a platform to sell their business stuff. But for that I too have a Business account separate where GST is updated. So I don’t know why it should apply to all sellers.
luxuryrehomed
@a__star Babus are "lakir ke fakir" 🙈😆
a__star
@dranukapoor 😹🙈🤦🏻♀️
luxuryrehomed
@a__star yes but then it will be difficult for poshmark to draw a line, how would they know who's doing it with what intent. Maybe they could set some limitations on the earnings? I wonder if anyone would be even in the taxable slab if we were to just consider the earnings from here.. especially with those appalling low ball offers 🙈🙈😆😆
a__star
@dranukapoor 😹😹 Exactly the point. People want branded new things at the price of a second hand damaged product. What to say. 🙈 May be this is not the platform for luxury goods.
jassi953
@tanz_tanz right 😂
luxuryrehomed
@a__star no it is not 🙈 it is more of "kapda-mandi" 😄😄😆🙈
a__star
@dranukapoor I think sabzi-Mandi
sehgal29
@dranukapoor we are not even sellers our intent is not to earn profit. I purely believe Poshmark intention is just to throw everyone out n make it complete b2b and b2c business so they can earn in cr’s. They sniff audience here they know well how people dnt want to sell luxury here unlike other country. So less commission. We indian save every penny n smart enough. So i feel their profit is not much or i will say in their finacial statement liabilities r more

@henshuaeihly
janujanu999
@alao137 yes I tried… heavy process
alao137
@janujanu999 ok. I assume after gst no, there are lots of follow up process too
thriftbazaar
@janujanu999 I hit this response fir my GST query. “GSTIN is mandatory per Govt. All e-commerce platforms will be impacted.The GST paid on posh earrings is also mandatory as it is a service rendered by PM. The pricing of products will have to go up accordingly, GST is mandated by Govt with penalties for non adherence” so looks like seller who earns any income from Posh will need to pay GST.
alao137
@thriftbazaar ok. Thanks for the information and update. Is there going to be lot of follow up work after getting gst
Have you applied for gst no?

@littleloots Hi how are you coping up with the gst thing. did u find another platform ?
littleloots
@aladoreferns Hey. I don't have much more to sell as of now, but I've redirected people to my Inst agram page at little.loots.poshmark in case they want to buy something that's already listed here.
People who bought from me before the GST have become repeat customers and keep buying stuff so not really looking to put any extra effort into selling what's remaining.
aladoreferns
@littleloots oh that's great 😁
sparkle_3184
where r the ppl now who said pm is in los now..nobody will sell etc etc now everyone added their gstin lol
