How does a trade work?
thebrazenskirt
@synthiafetke Well, trading is something that is highly discouraged for obvious reasons (PM doesn't get their cut and not all sellers are "honest sellers"). Those sellers who trade each have their own way of doing it! Yikes, I wasn't much of a help with that question, was I? 😋
synthiafetke
Nope that helped! It didn't seem very smart to me either. Please follow me so I can sell some of my closet! It'd be highly appreciated!
cmarshall38
@brazenskirt I thought you were on vacation!! You are one of my favorite sellers. You are so sweet! And patient with new Poshers!
cmarshall38
Question: How can highlight my items for sale on the main feed more than once?
thebrazenskirt
@cmarshall38 Awe, well thank you! And I am on vacation, but if I can't ship items from the beach I may as well make myself useful somehow. 😊 To answer you question, you can "share" items as many times as you like. BUT, I find that sharing items at posh parties is what really helped me to sell when I first started out on Poshmark. When you share at posh parties, anyone who is attending the party can see your items and not just your followers. This helps you get more followers as well!
thebrazenskirt
@cmarshall38 ...not to mention that sharing at the parties is what gets your closet noticed by katef and the other Poshmark gals...and "Suggested User" status can follow after that! 😉
cmarshall38
Oh ok!!! Now I know. But I wish I was on the beach somewhere exotic!!! Thanks for the advice!!
4me
@thebrazenskirt Very nice of you to offer help to newbies. Hopefully your brilliant advice will keep them from making mistakes.❤

PM protects buyers by allowing them to receive their item and then notifying PM to release the funds to the seller. How is the seller protected? What if they send the item and even though it has been received on the other end the buyer never says anything?
thebrazenskirt
@kelsea20 Hi there! Luckily, I have not had a problem buying or selling on Poshmark. But, that is not to say it couldn't happen (unfortunately, there are many dishonest people out there.) If you take a peek at the FAQ's section under "What should I do when I receive my order?" - it briefly touches on seller protection. Here is an excerpt: "Please note that once you accept an order (or 3 days has passed since order receipt) we have released your payment to the seller..." I interpret that as once 3 days has passed since the item has been confirmed as "delivered," the funds will be deposited into the seller's account whether or not the buyer has "accepted" the package. It is the buyer's responsibility to file a claim with Poshmark if they did not receive the item on the delivery date stated on the package tracking. This is where I find the Priority Mail w/ package tracking so useful (for both buyer and seller!)
I am not a Poshmark employee, nor have I run into this problem as of yet (fingers crossed it doesn't happen ever), so I am by no means an expert. If you have further questions on this subject you can submit your questions to support(at)poshmark.com. Hope I helped a bit! Happy (and safe!) Poshing!
scheeks11
How do I add on my profile no trades pp etc.. At the top like other poshers have on theirs
thebrazenskirt
@scheeks11 Hi! In the Poshmark app, click the bottom right icon of your screen name & scroll down to "Edit Profile." In the "My City" option you can type in whatever you wish and it will appear on your closet page (like mine does!)
scheeks11
Awesome!!! Thanks!! 😄👍
snownotsowhite
How do I receive the shipping label so i can ship a purchased item?
thebrazenskirt
@snownotsowhite The shipping label should have been emailed to you as soon as the item was purchased from your closet! If you need it resent, go into "My Sales," click on the item you need the label for and choose "Need New Shipping Label." From there you can click that you never received your label and it will be resent to your email on file.
cmarshall38
@brazenskirt how can I write a note to my followers in my closet? I'm stumped!
thebrazenskirt
@cmarshall38 It took me a good month to figure it out! There are a couple of ways to convey messages to your followers through a Poshmark listing. The first way: Open up the notepad on your iPhone; type whatever it is you want; take a screenshot by pressing the power button (top right) and menu button (circle button). This saves a screenshot to your camera and you can create a listing using the screenshot (this would be like my "Welcome to my closet" post.) The second way: Take your own photo and superimpose text over it using a camera app like snapseed, phonto or pic stitch! (This would be like my "new items added today" post!) Let me know if you have further questions on the topic :)
cmarshall38
@brazenskirt thanks so much!! I did it!
kelsea20
Does the account you transfer your redeemable money to have to be your account? I sold some items for someone and transferred the money into their account and they say that it went in but then got took back out and it said reverse without matching name on account or something like that.
thebrazenskirt
@kelsea20 Due to the fact that you received the error message stating that the name on your posh account and the name on the bank account doesn't match, I would have to assume that the funds can only be deposited into your bank account. Look at it from this perspective: Just as with a paycheck or a tax refund, banks are supposed to reject deposits when the name on the transaction does not closely match the name on the account. If you look at your sales funds as a "paycheck" it seems a bit easier to understand.
kelsea20
When transferring the payment postmark doesn't ask for the name on the account you are sending it to so how would PM kno if that account is yours or not?
thebrazenskirt
@kelsea20 The bank would have rejected the deposit, not Poshmark. This is a little out of my realm of expertise though. I would suggest emailing Poshmark support.
kelsea20
Ye thanks I did email them. I was just asking you in the meantime while I wait for a response. Thanks anyway
snownotsowhite
I purchased about 5 items on here. 3 are regular charges on my credit card, but the rest say recurring. What does that mean? Why would it say recurring?
thebrazenskirt
@snownotsowhite Hi! Are the charges correct - or are you more concerned with just the reason why it is listed as "recurring?" If you are being double charged or charged incorrectly, I would contact Poshmark at support(at)Poshmark(dot)com. The way your purchases are being represented on your statement is up to your banking institution! I would keep an eye on your statements to make sure that there are no charges going through that you are not responsible for. *I am not a banker or a Poshmark employee, but I had a similar problem with eBay once and it turned out to be nothing...just the way my bank was flagging transactions.
jellybellys
@thebrazenskirt if I have a package that weighs 5lbs, do I purchase 5lbs or 3lbs because of the free 2lbs? I hope this makes sense lol.
thebrazenskirt
@jellybellys Hi! Under the "Need new shipping label" tab, you'll choose the 5lb option in the drop down bar. :)
jellybellys
@thebrazenskirt thanks so much!!
thebrazenskirt
@jellybellys No problem! Happy Poshing! :)
cmarshall38
@thebrazenskirt I know I come to you with a million questions. But I have another one. How can I do a feedback page?? I like yours and want my own!
thebrazenskirt
@cmarshall38 Lol! That's ok! I use the phonto and picstitch apps. You find a photo you like like (or take your own photo), upload it into the phonto or picstitch app, and the type text over it! Phonto has a lot of different fonts. You then just upload it onto Poshmark like you would any other listing. :)
cmarshall38
@thebrazenskirt thank you!!!! I did it!!! I just used some shoes I just bought as the background with photostitch!!! I appreciate you.
evanstout
Hi! I just joined postmark about 20 minutes ago and I have no idea what I'm doing or how this all works. Help?
thebrazenskirt
@evanstout Hi there! Welcome to Poshmark. I hope you're ready to get addicted :)
Let's start out this way - are you most interested in buying or selling right now?
thebrazenskirt
@evanstout A good place to start is by checkout out the FAQ section at https://poshmark.com/faq . Let me know how I can help further :)
evanstout
I am mostly just interested in buying right now
evanstout
Thanks I will definitely look at that:)

If I wanted to sell some items I have, how do I do it so that everyone can see?
thebrazenskirt
@glittercity Hi there! If you're using a PC click the "Parties Tab" on the bar at the top of the screen. If you're using the Poshmark App on your iPhone/iPad, click the "Parties" tab at the bottom of the screen.
From there, you can view the current or upcoming parties. You can only "JOIN" parties that are currently going on. Parties begin at 9am, 12pm & 7pm (Pacific Time Zone) and last 2 hours each. You can share items from your closet to a party by clicking the "SHARE" button next to your item(s). When the party is going on, it will give you the option to share the item to that party!
Try it out by sharing to the next party and LMK if you have any trouble! Happy Poshmarking! :)
zarrinzinat
Hey! I'm always sharing stuff to the parties, but nothing ever gets listed there :( Why does that happen?
thebrazenskirt
@zarrinzinat Hi there! If you are sharing your items to a Posh Party, they are being listed! Thousands of people are sharing their items as well, so if you think your items are not being listed because you can't see them in the feed, have no fear! You items are on there, just further down on the list because so many people are posting at once! Also make sure that your item fits the "theme." If you are trying to share (for ex.) an American Eagle top at a Gucci, Michael Kors, LV Party - it will now show up in the party. Does that answer your question?
zarrinzinat
Oh yes! Thanks so much, that was extremely helpful 💜☺
thebrazenskirt
@lolatitebi315 Hi girl! Sorry, somehow your post didn't show up in my feed so I didn't see it until now. You can check out: https://poshmark.com/faq and that will give you tips on how to upload your first item. After you have your items uploaded, you need to start recruiting followers. I found the easiest way to recruit followers when I first started was to share other posher's closets. In turn, they will most likely share yours as well and follow you if they love your closet! Another way to share your closet is by joining a Posh Party (see my reply to GLITTERYCITY above for more information on that.) As I said above, the advantage to sharing at a Posh Party is that every person who attends is able to see your items (not just you followers). Sharing to Posh Parties is another way to recruit followers!
lolatitebi315
@thebrazenskirt ooh. Thank you very much. That helped a lot! :)
cdaye11
probably a stupid question but I'm curious about selling..once you sell an item, the money is received in your "posh funds" I believe. can you then redeem it to your own bank account to get the money or do you have to use it for other purchases on posh?
thebrazenskirt
@cdaye11 Not a stupid question! Yes, you can redeem your funds into your bank account. In the bottom right corner of the Poshmark app, you'll click on the tab thy displays your username, from there scroll down to the "My Balance" tab. You will see how much money you can redeem there. Click on that redeemable amount and you will have the option of a bank direct deposit. It usually takes about 3 days to receive the funds. 💛
cdaye11
thank you! so helpful :)
lhalttunen
@thebrazenskirt I need help making a sale...I feel like I have reasonable prices on my items and people like them and I try to attend all the parties I can and I still have not made a sale...what else can I do?
thebrazenskirt
@lhalttunen Hi there! I will agree that you have reasonable prices on your items (I liked and shared a few!) I'm curious as to how long you've been a Poshmark member? I would say it was about 3-4 weeks before I made my first sale. Here are a few things I've learned about selling since that time: First and foremost, I think that buyers are attracted to closets that are visually appealing. Modeling your items would be best, but if you don't have the time to model every single item (like me!), you can arrange them in outfits or place them on a maidenform. I really like the layout of these ladies closets, so check them out for other examples: @mschilly & @megcarlson27. Secondly, I think that the more followers you have, the more chances you have to sell items (when you are "sharing" your items, only your followers see them!) Sharing other posher's items and sharing back once someone shares your item is a perfect way to get followers - and keep sharing in those posh parties! Lastly (and this just my own personal tip), I am noticing you have a lot of work out clothing. Try typing in the search bar "looking for workout clothes" or something of that nature. Sometimes people will post items that they are looking for and that gives you the opportunity to reply to their post letting them know you have workout items. (Here's one, for instance: https://poshmark.com/listing/51a9683963428042c4007c12 Be patient, you'll make that first sale - and don't hesitate to come back with other questions :)
mschilly
You're the best! Thank you for always sharing my closet!
nkrueger
Hi there! I've seen some people, like yourself, with 50,000+ or even 100,000+ followers. How do you guys get so many?! Also, how do I go about getting an item featured as a host pick in a party? Is it just dumb luck that my item is noticed among the thousands being shared? Does it matter if I share my item immediately when the party starts? Sorry for so many questions!
blacklacexoxo
Hi! Thanks for doing this! First question is when you buy, do you have to pay the shipping for EACH item? What does the 25 or more shipping mean? Does that mean if you buy $25 or more worth of stuff from that person or one item listed has to be $25 or more? Second question is that I don't get the whole bundling thing. As a buyer and a seller how does that work. I plan to buy and sell. :)
thebrazenskirt
@nkrueger Hi girl! I have as many followers as I do because Poshmark has named me a "Suggested User" twice. (I am actually bring featured as one now!) When you are a suggested user everyone who downloads the Poshmark app during that week automatically follows you. Truthfully, I don't know the requirements for being a suggested user, but I think they pick 5-6 users a week. Some of the girls you are with 100,000+ followers may even work for Poshmark and everyone follows them :)
thebrazenskirt
@nkrueger Sorry! I didn't address the other question...it does have a lot to do with "luck," but the best advice I can give is to make your listings visually appealing (modeling, place with outfits) so that it draws the attention of the host! Also, make sure your items fit the theme of the party!
nkrueger
Thanks for answering my questions so quickly!
thebrazenskirt
@blacklacexoxo Both your questions go hand in hand! If you are purchasing two items from the same posher's closet, then you can ask them if they do a "bundle discount" to help you save on shipping. All posher's have their own rules and discounts, but as an example, if you are interested in two or more New With Tags items from my closet, I will list the two items in the same listing and give you a 10% discount. If you look in my closet you'll see sold items (at the bottom) and most are listing with more than one item. This way, you don't have to pay two separate shipping costs. However, there is no way to bundle items from two different closets, so there will be separate shipping costs associated with those items!
megcarlson27
Thanks for tagging me!! You're such a great posher :) wish I had you to talk to when I first started! :)
thebrazenskirt
@megcarlson27 No problem - you have one of my favorite closets and were the first posher's I bought from!
mzkarmel08
Hii so im new to this and a little confused my question may be stupid lol but i was trying to take a picture of my first item and when i took it, the pic became the cover photo and next to it said add the item. so my question is what is a cover photo ?and really how does all this work? Lol
thebrazenskirt
@mzkarmel08 You can add multiple photos to a listing, but the cover photo is the photo that everyone will see when they visit you closet. As an example, visit my closet and click on the listing of the yellow lace dress. You can see that there are other photos attached, but only the cover photo is seen until the listing is clicked on.
mzkarmel08
Thank you! That helped :)
thebrazenskirt
@tinker_bell It hasn't happened to me, but I also do not own any Escada clothing. :) I just looked at all the brands that you can choose from in the "Brand" drop down menu when listing an item, and I don't even see Escada listed. I might suggest emailing Poshmark and asking them to add the brand. That may be why it didn't show up!
thebrazenskirt
@lexyyandersonn Since you're fairly new to PM, I decided to switch your question over to this listing. Feel free to scan through other newbies questions for some other answers. If you see above at my response to nkrueger's question, I'm not real sure what the requirements are for becoming a suggested user. If I had to guess, I would say a reasonably priced and visually appealing closet. Before I was named a suggested user the first time, I was sharing in posh parties ALOT and had a lot of host picks which is what I think initially got my closet noticed! I haven't been able to really pinpoint what the requirements are, but I think they pick 4-5 a week. :)
lexyyandersonn
thank you! I will try to make my closet better!😊
lacey_kaylie
How do you sell things?
thebrazenskirt
@lexyyandersonn You're off to a great start :)
thebrazenskirt
@lacey_kaylie Are you asking how to physically list an item to sell or are you asking for tips on how to make your first sale?
lacey_kaylie
Like how does the who selling things work? I know you put a photo and stuff up, but when someone wants to buy it how does that whole thing work?
thebrazenskirt
@lacey_kaylie When someone is interested in your item it usually begins with a "like." Oftentimes, buyers will try to negotiate with you and all sellers have their own policies and discounts. For instance, I don't typically give any discounts on single items because I keep my prices really low to begin with, but I will offer a 10-15% discount when someone wants to purchase multiple items from my closet. See my response to blacklacexoxo above for more info on "bundle discounts." once you and your buyer come to a price agreement. All the buyer has to do is hit the "Buy Now" button. After they have completed their purchase you will receive A pre-paid and Pre- addressed shipping label at the email out have on file. All you have to do is print and place on your package! (Note: The shipping label will be Priority Mail, so you can use any plain old box OR you can go to the post office and pick up Priority boxes or envelopes for FREE!)
thebrazenskirt
@lacey_kaylie I also suggest checking out Poshmark's FAQs page where you can easily access all the basic questions and answers: https://poshmark.com/faq
lacey_kaylie
Thank you so much !:)

@lacey_kaylie No problem! Come back if you have other questions :)
cutestuffsnmore
@thebrazenskirt Hi! I'm so thankful that someone like you is doing this for newbies like me. Reading thru some of the questions & answers has helped me a lot! One quick question will the buyer know that the items (a pair of nike shoes & a messenger bag) they purchased will cost them extra for shipping?? I'm so sorry can you help me understand the shipping rules ?? 😩
thebrazenskirt
@pixela Hi there! No problem - after the buyer hits the "BUY NOW" button on your listing, they will be taken to a check out page where the shipping cost will be listed. When I made my first buy, I wasn't quite sure about shipping until I made it to the checkout page. If you are asked by a newbie buyer, here are the shipping rates: Poshmark’s standard shipping rate is $4.99 for all orders $25 and above and $6.99 for all other orders. To save on shipping, most posher's offer "Bundle Discounts" if a buyer is interested in buying more than one item from your closet- you can read more about that in my answer above to blacelacexoxo. :)
lexyyandersonn
thankyou!(:
thebrazenskirt
@pixela One other thing - if you go into my closet and scroll to the very bottom where all the SOLD items are, you'll see that most of my sales have more than one item per listing (that's a "bundle!"). You can use an app like Pic Stitch to put two items together in one photo. This way, if someone wanted to buy a that pair of Nikes AND the messanger bag, you could put it in one listing and ship together so that there is only a single shipping cost.
cutestuffsnmore
@thebrazenskirt thank you for helping me understand ☺
tayloramonson
How do you post something to a party?:(
thebrazenskirt
@tayloramonson Hey girl! Check out my response to GLITTERCITY above halfway up the comments. She asked a similar question and my answer should be helpful to you as well! Check it out and let me know if you have further questions :)
jennareese
How do you get your money as cash??
thebrazenskirt
@jennareese Do you literally mean cash? You can't actually receive cash for your purchases, but you can have them deposited directly into your bank account or request a check. In the bottom right corner of the Poshmark app, you'll click on the tab that displays your username. From there scroll down to the "My Balance" tab. You will see how much money you can redeem there. Click on that redeemable amount and you will have the option of a bank direct deposit or a check. It usually takes about 3 days to receive the funds via direct deposit (based only on my experience). 💛
lhalttunen
@thebrazenskirt maybe you already answered this question but is it safe to trade and if so how is it best handled?
thebrazenskirt
@lhalttunen Hi there! Check out the very first question on the feed. :) In a nutshell, Poshmark frowns upon users who trade or take transactions offline (PayPal).
fashionguru10
This is great!! Have to share :)
thebrazenskirt
@princess_heaven Hi! You can share items from your closet to a party by clicking the "SHARE" button next to your item. When the party is going on, it will give you the option to share the item to that party! You are already doing this, they ARE being listed. housands of people are sharing their items as well, so if you think your items are not being listed because you can't see them in the feed, have no fear! You items are on there, just further down on the list because so many people are posting at once! Also make sure that your item fits the "theme." If you are trying to share (for ex.) an American Eagle top at a Gucci, Michael Kors, LV Party - it will not show up in the party becuase it doesn't fit the party requirements.

Follow me please! I have some great True Religion jeans I'm selling! And have you bought on poshmark before? Does this reeeeally work? Like,you've gotten the item you bought in good condition,for a good price,etc. ?
thebrazenskirt
@_well_arranged_ Hi there. Yes, I've bought over 30 items on Poshmark. I have been pleased with the quality of all the items I have bought, even though some of the items may not have fit me the way I wanted them to. You can always resell any items that don't fit! As a new user, I might suggest you search for True Religion jeans that other posher's are selling to see what they they are charging (it will help you keep your cost competetive...!)
riaaa0917
After you ship something as a seller, how do you have the ability to track it? I know you can track it on the buying end, but what about the selling end?
thebrazenskirt
@riaaa0917 In order to ship the item, you (as the seller) receive the shipping label via email. The tracking number is on the shipping label. All you have to do is copy and paste the tracking number and paste it into the usps tracking website.
riaaa0917
That seems simple enough--Thanks!!
sapna3
@thebrazenskirt first off thanks for this post! I've been on Posh for about a month and have sold two items. Any tips for making each listing appealing? I've gained a few pounds and modeling the clothes wouldn't help. Should I describe them better? Also some of the photos look almost professional, my iPhone can't compare! Should I start "staging" my photos? Lastly, on a personal note, have you turned this into a business? I'm just trying to clean out my closet but this site has so much potential! Again, thank you thank you thank you!!
sapna3
@thebrazenskirt ok last question! Can you post your listing from your laptop or PC? This iPad keyboard isn't as convenient and a laptop. Thanks!
_well_arranged_
Thx for answering! That sounds like a great idea. Thx for the tips!
thebrazenskirt
@sapna3 Sorry for the delay in answering...I had a post-op surgery appt. for my foster doggie today! I tell a lot of ladies who ask the question "how can I sell more": make sure your closet is visually appealing! Modeling is always the best way to get your closet noticed, but if you're like me and don't have time for that I would suggest placing your "for sale" items with other pieces to make outfits like my listings. A buyer may ask you to model an item they are interested in - as long as they fit me, I typically will do that upon request! Check out @kimsalittlepea and @megcarlson27 for some other ideas on how to style your closet. :) I have not turned this into a business, but have made enough for a decent down payment on a car. I feel pretty confident saying that if I had more time, I could turn a bigger profit. And, lastly - unfortunately you can only list on the iPhone/iPad app right now. I agree that a PC is sometimes a little easier. Did this answer your questions?
sanfranstyle
Hi Kay! Really nice of you to have this Q &A. I think it is really helpful and great for the Posh community! I have been on Poshmark for about a month and have had very good luck so far but I find it a ton of work to get followers quickly. I have tried to make my closet pretty and listen to your suggestions! Would love it if you would follow me too! Thanks for the share! Happy Poshing!
sapna3
@thebrazenskirt thanks for the detailed reply! I will try dressing up my closet a little more. Have a great weekend! ;)
thebrazenskirt
@taylorarobinson hi, girl! Nope, no credit card needed to receive funds. Once the buyer receives your item, they will have to first "accept" it so that your earnings are deposited into your Poshmark account. Once that happens, you can click on your username (bottom right hand corner of the app), click "Balance," then click "redeem." From there you'll have the option of choosing a bank direct deposit or a check.

@thebrazenskirt hi!! I'm new to poshmark. I wanted to know why poshmark charges a sales tax? But yet others tell me it doesn't ? Is it because I started about a week ago and it's new? Do u get charge when u buy? Anyone?
thebrazenskirt
@redriby hi there! Sorry for the delay girl...I'm at my family's lake house and Internet reception is spotty at best. I have never been charged sales tax, but am looking into your question!
thebrazenskirt
@mabmarie hi! Yep...always taking questions. I am on vacation right now though and my reception is spotty. Take a peek at this whole thread if you have a question in mind right now. Many of the basic questions have already been answered!
redriby
@thebrazenskirt aw thank u Hun have fun. Someone answered my question which is that if ure in CA posh charges the tax On eBay they don't charge tax unless buyer from another person located in CA Then that's when they charge u
redriby
@taylorarobinson thank u doll! I see now I was told u get charged when buying from CA
thebrazenskirt
@mabmarie Hey there! I've done a couple of different things when shipping shoes (usually depending upon value of shoes). If its a designer or other high value shoe, I typically stuff the shoes with paper (inside original shoe box...this helps to protect from moisture) and buy another shipping box big enough to fit the shoes in their original box. Otherwise, I usually wrap the shoebox in 2 layers of brown shipping paper and place the label directly on there. If I don't have a box, I stuff the shoes with paper to keep form and wrap in bubble
wrap before I put them in a priority mail box to ship. Note: Depending on how you wrap them, sometimes the package is over 2 lbs which means you will have to pay an extra shipping fee, so don't forget to update and print a new label!
cmarshall38
@thebrazenskirt I have a bag that I'm selling. I think it may be over 2 lbs after its packaged up. How do I have the seller cover the extra cost of shipping when it sells?
thebrazenskirt
@cmarshall38 Technically, the seller is the one who pays the extra charge (since it will deduct from your balance). If you want the buyer to cover the charge, you would have to add the additional charge onto their total before they purchase the item. To print a new shipping label: find the item in your sold items list and click on it, click "need new shipping label" and from the drop down bar choose how many pounds you need. Once you submit it, you will receive the new shipping label to your email.
cmarshall38
@thebrazenskirt I really appreciate the advice!!! I'll remember that when I'm negotiating the price.
jackiomy
@thebrazenskirt I wonder if you could help ! I've been on PM or a couple months ... And haven't had one sale ! Could you give me your honest opinion only closet ? My stuff is mostly new and cute (I think) lol. I've been following, sharing liking .. Etc.

@skyerandi Hi there! Since I've been on Poshmark (April 2013), I've been named a "Suggested User" multiple times. At first, when you were a Suggested User, all those who downloaded the Poshmark app for that particular week automatically followed you. That's where the bulk of my followers came from. Now, Poshmark has a Suggested User Program in which those who download the app and match your size descriptions automatically follow you (I just became a member of that program last week). Here are the criteria (copy/pasted directly from the email I receieved): •You're in good standing with the community and follow the Poshmark Terms of Service •Your stellar sales history proves that people love purchasing from you •You have awesome, thoughtful and clear Covershots and descriptions •You're great at networking, connecting and educating other users •Your closet is bursting at the seams with tons of listings just waiting to be sold •You have an eye for finding and sharing great listings When people ask me this question, I just tell them to "keep at it." I think my closet first got recognized because I shared appropriate items that matched the party themes. Once any or some of your items are chosen as "HOST PICKS" during the parties - you have a better chance at getting your full closet recognized..

How does bundling work?
nicholedl777
@thebrazenskirt How can I increase my chances of making a sale? I have yet to make one.
thebrazenskirt
@kaylamarie_ Hi there! (Nice name, it's mine too!). Bundling is a simple way of helping the buyer save costs on shipping. If you are interested purchasing more than one item from the same posher's closet, then you can ask them if they "bundle" to help you save on shipping. This just means they will put both the items in one listing and combine the totals - so you only have to pay one shipping fee! Additionally, most posher's will provide an additional discount if you purchase more than one item. All poshers have their own rules and discounts, but as an example, if you are interested in two or more New With Tags items from my closet, I will list the two items in the same listing and give you an 10% discount. If you look in my closet you'll see sold items (at the bottom) and most are listed with more than one item. However, there is no way to bundle items from two different closets, so there will be separate shipping costs associated with those items!
nicholedl777
@thebrazenskirt and would you mind sharing some of my items as you have so many followers?
thebrazenskirt
@nicholedl777 If you haven't already checked out Poshmark's "Tips for How to Make Your First Sale," you can do so here: https://poshmark.com/posh_guide/tips_how_to_make_first_ Here are some tips for what I think helped to make me by first sale: First, recruit followers! I first started recruiting by sharing other posher's closets. In turn, they will most likely share yours as well and follow you if you share the same style. Second, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE from other posher's closets. When I first started out, I gained a lot of followers by visiting the closets of posher's who "liked" the same items as me. When you like the same item as another posher, chances are you have similiar style. Visit their closets and share their items! They may share and follow in return!
Third, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE your own closet! When you are first starting out and don't have many followers, the best thing to do is share your items to Posh Parties. Every person who attends a Posh Party is able to see your items (and there are thousands of users who attend!!). I also feel it's very important to only share items from your closet that MATCH the theme of the party. You have a better chance of getting your items noticed by the host if you stick with the theme.
Lastly, network with other users. I have made some Posh friends in the last few months who support me by regularly sharing my closet and vice versa. Gals with style similar to yours could be some of your greatest allies. :)
Note: I have a lot of followers now because I have been named a Suggested User multiple times. When you are a suggested user, everyone who joins Poshmark during that designated week automatically follows you. I became a suggested user after I had multiple host picks appear in a party - so keep sharing to those parties!
kaylamarie_
@thebrazenskirt well look at that!(: and thanks that helped a lot !(:
megcarlson27
Do you mind if I copy this picture? I'm a suggested user and need something adorable like this! If you mind, just let me know and ill totally understand :)
megcarlson27
And your closet still gets cuter and cuter every time I see it!! So glad you were a suggested user :)
thebrazenskirt
@megcarlson27 sure!

@casualglam Hi girl! Check out my To Nichole about 5 comments up!
caro86101
Hi if I sell an item from my closet does it give you like we're u have to send it
caro86101
Sorry I accidentally press post I didn't finish my question anyway does it tell u were and how long u have to send the items I sold
thebrazenskirt
@caro86101 Hi! Once your item sells, you will immediately receive any email (to the email you have on file) with the pre-paid shipping label. All you have to do is print the label, attach to your package and drop it at the post office. As a responsible seller you are expected to ship sold items out quickly. I typically ship same day/next day unless some other agreement has been agreed upon with the buyer. The shipping label will be dated with the sell date, so you don't want to wait so long that it expires (sometimes post offices won't accept them if a few days have gone by.) One last note: The buyer pays a shipping fee at check out, however the shipping fee only covers up to 2 lbs. if your items weighs more than 2 lbs, you will have to update the shipping label to the correct weight and the fee is your responsibility as the seller. You can update shipping labels by clicking your name icon at the bottom of iPhone, clicking "My Sales", clicking on the item and updating the label from there.
thebrazenskirt
@paulaisela Please see my post to kaylamarie about a dozen comments up! That's will explain bundling for you!
elmomeh
I'm 15 and I'm not very sure about shipping and things like that, I'm going to have lots of questions in the future for sure, may you be available and help me out?
thebrazenskirt
@elmomeh Sure! But first I would suggest visiting Poshmark's "Frequently Asked Questions" page by clicking your username icon in the bottom right of your iPhone (in the app), scrolling to the bottom you will see the FAQ tab. Also feel free to read through all the posts on this listing...I answer a lot of basic questions and you may find some info helpful.
elmomeh
Alrighty, thank you. :]
caro86101
Ok thank you so much for the info 😊
thebrazenskirt
@paulaisela Hi there. Trading does not conform with Poshmark's terms and services. I never tell Posher's what to do when they ask, but I don't encourage it. Reserving is just something a buyer and seller can decide to do if the buyer does not have the funds to purchase right away. Whether or not an item can be reserved is at the discretion of the seller! Some sellers will keep on hold for 24 hrs...others may even hold for 2 weeks!
emmaeriksen23
@thebrazenskirt I'm new to Posh Mark and don't quite know the best way to sell some of my first items! Do you have any strategies?
thebrazenskirt
@emmaeriksen23 Hi! Check out my post to nicholedl777 about 20 comments up. I shared a lot of my tips with her in that post! Feel free to scroll through some of the other comments as well...you may find some other helpful info! One additional tip: Do all you can to make your closet visually appealing! I think that's a huge factor in a successful posh closet. Check out these closets for some great ideas: @wearinla @megcarlson27 @mschilly

@virneekamichele Hi there! I am lucky because I have a mail scale at work, but when I'm at home I usually get on a scale and weigh myself, then I weigh myself holding the package and the subtract for the difference!
msjoi
@thebrazenskirt this is great...you are paying forward...my question is regarding suggested user....if you are selected, are you able to see yourself in your suggested user list?
sasa2013
Hello there, I am quite new on PM. I started around end of June 2013. My question is have you ever dealt with a buyer that said that your item isn't Authentic after we delivered to them, but we are honest people n I don't carry inspired items. This is the first time I tried to do business on PM but i feel really down after that buyer post that message n said that she is going to send it back to me. What should I do? Any advice? btw Thank you so much
thebrazenskirt
@sasa2013 Awe, I'm really sorry that's happened to you. I have never had a run in with someone who didn't think my items were authentic, however, I did accidentally misprint a shoe size once so that when the buyer received her item it ended up not fitting her. I am all about customer service, so I refunded her money via paypal (shipping included) and asked that she send them back to me. You end up losing 20%, but it's worth not having an angry seller fill your closet with nasty comments. I felt the SAME way after that happened (it my second or third sale!), but it all worked out! Don't let it get you down :)
sasa2013
Thank you so much for the advice😀
msjoi
@thebrazenskirt hi, did u see my question above?'
msjoi
@thebrazenskirt Hi, thank you for this space to communicate inquiries, it is really helpful....regarding my question if you are a Suggested User will you be able to see your name on the list, the answer is yes. Tonight I saw my name on the Suggestions List. Thanks again.
thebrazenskirt
@msjoi Yes, I apologize for not seeing your question until now. There are some days when I get a lot of comments and sometimes I
miss one! Congrats on being a suggested user!
msjoi
@thebrazenskirt I totally understand...I responded so you can share with others if asked.....you are very good at taking time to explain things...keep up the good work....thank you for the congrats...
toastybit
How do you get all of your sold items at bottom of page? Some poshers page will say after this item everything else listed is sold.
thebrazenskirt
@toastybit In order to get all your sold items
to the bottom of your closet you have to share all the items that are NOT sold and it pushes them to the bottom! Some people will make a "All item past this point are sold" listing using the Notes app or and app like Phonto.
jadorable911
@thebrazenskirt What does it mean to pay through PayPal?
thebrazenskirt
@jadorable911 Hi there! Poshmark's rules and regulations stipulate that paying outside of Poshmark is not allowed. But, PayPal is useful for many other things - it is a "safe" way of accepting and making payments without directly using your debit card. Sometimes Poshmark buyers will ask you to pay via paypal (to get around the fee that Poshmark charges). Any seller or buyer that utilizes PayPal on Poshmark will have their closet shut down if they are reported - so be careful! :)
thebrazenskirt
@jadorable911 Oh...and just wanted to mention that your question is a good one! When I first started I had no idea that PayPal wasn't allowed!
jadorable911
@thebrazenskirt Ok thank you
toastybit
Thanks!!! Ok one more question. Why do some poshers page show they have many listings but they don't show up? Hope I am not blocked
thebrazenskirt
@toastybit Well, that's a new question. I've never had that happen! Sometimes when I'm scrolling through closets some of the items don't want to load, but they are there!
thebrazenskirt
@toastybit Do you have an example and I can look at it?
toastybit
Yes let me find it
toastybit
Ok check out @glamglittergold and see if you can see her items
thebrazenskirt
@toastybit If I had to venture a guess, I'm th.inking she may have been doing something that was against Poshmark's policy...accepting payment out of Poshmark or selling "inspired" items, for example. Don't quote me - I don't know for sure...
thebrazenskirt
@jenniferthomas Did you have any conversation with the seller before you purchased? I always like to negotiate and/or search through their listings to see if there's been any recent communication with other buyers. This is just to make sure the closet has an active seller! I also look for any sign that the seller might be on vacation - I always make a listing that says when I'm on vacation, but not all posher's do that. Did you receive the tracking confirmation to your email?
thebrazenskirt
@jenniferthomas I did some research. While most sellers ship within 3-5 days of the order, they have up to ten days to ship the items. You can only cancel an order after the ten days of non-shipment are up OR within a 3 hour time period after you made the purchase. If you click your username in the bottom right corner of the app, click on "My Puchases", click on "Problems/Order Inquiry" you will see there are a few options listed. One of the options is "Order Delayed." After the 10 day period is up, I believe that is where you click to cancel your order. You can also contact Poshmark support at support(at)poshmark.com
toastybit
Oh yeah you're prob right. Didnt think about that!!! Bet so!! Thanks for your help and if I have any more questions Im def coming to you! 😘
thebrazenskirt
@toastybit & @jenniferthomas No problem, ladies!
kristencampbell
Hi! I realize you've probably answered this question like fifty times but I didn't see it so i figured I'd ask. I don't really understand what happens when people share my listings and I don't really understand posh parties!
thebrazenskirt
@kristencampbell Hi! When people share your listings, they will show up on the "Feed" of everyone that follows them. When you share your own listings, they only show up on your feed - so it's great when other people share your listings because more than just those who follow you are seeing them. This helps you to gain more followers, so be sure to return the favor :) ! Posh Parties are ANOTHER way you can get your items seen. There are hundreds of people participating in parties everyday and when you (or others) share your items to a party, all of those people have the opportunity to see that listing! I highly recommend sharing to Posh Parties - it has always helped me gain more followers and make sales!

Hiii! just wanted to say that I really appreciated and got a good laugh out of that comment you put on that girl that shall not be named listing of the blue dress! hahahaa thank youuu darling!!!

paigeavery
Hi! When someone buys an item of yours, does PM send you a check?
thebrazenskirt
@paigeavery Hi there! When you make a sale on Poshmark, your earnings will be deposited into your Poshmark account. Once you ship the item and the buyer recieves it, your earning will be redeemable. You can leave the balance in your poshmark account and use it to purchase items on Poshmark. If you want to withdrawl your money, the fastest and easiest way is to use direct deposit to transfer your funds directly into your bank account. However, Poshmark will send you a check if that is the way you prefer to withdrawl. Go to Account → My Balance → Redeemable. If you are requesting a direct deposit, make sure you enter your account number and routing number correctly. If you are requesting a check, be sure to double check the mailing address you entered and the name that the check should be made out to.
howshestylz_it
@thebrazenskirt hi there. You've mentioned a couple times that you were named a suggested user-but you haven't gone into detail about that process. How do you know you've been named? Do they send you an email, or do toy have to keep checking the main page of the website on your home computer? My next question is, how does one become a host? Can you volunteer? If so who do you contact? And if not, how do you get recognized to be selected as a host? I see some posters who notify there followers that they will be hosting a posh party a whole month in advance! How does that happen? And sometimes I see the same people getting pic to be host, and some tat only have 150 followers. Does the number of followers you have increase your chances? Sorry for all the questions.
thebrazenskirt
@les28872 About a month ago, PM began emailing those users who were part of the suggested user program. Prior to that, it was pretty easy to decifer if you were a suggester user because your number of followers would sky rocket in a day and you would see yourself appear in the "Suggested Users" list. Here is the current criteria (taken directly from the email I recieved) •You're in good standing with the community and follow the Poshmark Terms of Service •Your stellar sales history proves that people love purchasing from you •You have awesome, thoughtful and clear Covershots and descriptions •You're great at networking, connecting and educating other users •Your closet is bursting at the seams with tons of listings just waiting to be sold •You have an eye for finding and sharing great listings. There is nothing (as far as I know) that outlines how you are selected to be a host. I emailed Poshmark about a month ago requesting to be selected and I was told there is a substantial waiting list.
howshestylz_it
@thebrazenskirt wow! That sounds like quite an honor. Congrats! 👏 Now what about the hosting? Thanks for writing back. 😊
thebrazenskirt
@les28872 So sorry...the last sentence in my last post was supposed to say: I emailed Poshmark about a month ago requesting to be selected AS A HOST and I was told there is a substantial waiting list. I never emailed about suggested user status...I think they base that solely on what I mentioned above.
alainaef
@thebrazenskirt I just stumbled upon your post and was reading many of the q&a with you. I just wanted to compliment you on being such a kind, helpful and selfless person 💖. The world needs kinder people like you- it's nice that you've helped out newbies and given them great advice! I wish I'd read this when I first started 🌺
marietheo
@thebrazenskirt I've been on Poshmark since July and have figured most things out by trial and error! But I do have a couple of questions. Do your party listings appear only once regardless of how often you share them? Or do they reappear each time you share? Also, what is the difference between sharing your listings and updating them? Do you have to update to get your listings to appear at the top of the search sections? Or does sharing take care of that? And a big THANK YOU for taking the time to help out Newbies!👏👏👏
marietheo
@thebrazenskirt Thought of another question. Is there a way to update or share a group of listings with one click? It's very time consuming when your closet grows to share and/or update each listing individually! Again, thank you so very much for taking the time to help fellow Poshers!
thebrazenskirt
@marietheo Sorry, girl! It's been a very busy day at work. Let me address your questions: 1. Your party listings should appear as many times as you share them. You have to keep in mind hundreds of other poshers are posting to the parties, so if you're looking for your items as the party is happening chances are they would be very hard to locate! 2. I'm not sure what you mean by "updating." I've never actually used that term on Poshmark. However, if what you're asking is "how do I get my items to appear at the top of search listings?" you would have to edit them often. For instance, if I put a size medium skirt "on sale" and a changed the price, the skirt would then appear at the top of listings if you searched for a size medium skirt. Or, if I listed an item for the first time - it would also appear at the top of the search listings. Again, posher's are adding and changing listings constantly so to keep your items at the top of a search would be fairly difficult. 3. I am not aware of a way to share a group of listings with one click - but, boy, that would be a HUGE help. Maybe shoot a quick email to Poshmark with that suggestion! :) Hope I answered your questions!
marietheo
@thebrazenskirt Thanks so much for your helpful answers. I've been "updating" my listings--that is going through the motion of editing them in the hope that they will appear close to the top of searches. It takes forever! But that's OK because I love the Poshmark community! And you're one of the nicest and most helpful Poshers I've met!😊😊😊
wearsveronica
How do i get followers? I feel like i have some good stuff but no one is seeing it!! Also- I set my prices a little higher because it appears a lot of people haggle. Is that the norm? Thanks!!!
thebrazenskirt
@hail2thev Hi there - yes, absolutely...lots of haggling going on. :) Almost every buyer will ask for a better deal. Def read through this post and the questions above - I give all kinds of tips to recruit followers, but I've found the easiest way to recruit followers is to share items from other posher's closets. In turn, they will most likely share yours with their followers. Another helpful tip is to share, share, share! your items to Posh parties. When you share to parties, the thousands of other poshers who are attending the parties will have the opportunity to see your items!
thebrazenskirt
@marietheo Thanks, girl :)

Hi, I'm new and so glad I've found closet! I've been reading all the questions and comments and come back often to reread. I have tried emulate how you sell and to do more changes. I hope you get "Copying is the greatest form of flattery". lol. I was wondering if you could tell me if my prices are good. I do want to get the best price I can get for my items and yet don't want to price too high people don't even look. Also don't want to look like the bargain basement. Bottom line I want to be fair to my customers and myself in my prices. Thanks in advance!

That was suppose to read,.. so glad I found your closet!

megepete
Why do people post things they aren't selling and say they are "just sharing"
thebrazenskirt
@megepete Ha, truthfully...I often wonder why they do that myself. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that they post items they love to show off their style and drive people to their closets!
megepete
Makes sense I guess :)

marie1087
Paypal? Do you have one and would you recommend it?
thebrazenskirt
@marie1087 Yes, I have PayPal and I use it for a lot, BUT I do not use it for Poshmark. It is against Poshmark's rules and regulations (along with trading). When I first started, I had no idea these things weren't allowed! If Poshmark finds that a seller utilizes PayPal as their method for accepting money, sell we'd typically will no longer be allowed to use the Poshmark app. So, no, I wouldn't recommend it for PM use, but do love PayPay for other things! ;)
marie1087
lol its because im thinking about opening one for ebay...im just a little hesitant
thebrazenskirt
@marie1087 What's the hesitancy? It's a very safe way to accept payments and make purchases! Safer than using your debit or credit card! I don't know much about ebay though. :)

@cody7150 First of all, I'm really sorry I never answered this question! I'm not really sure how I missed it. By now, you probably already have the answer to this, but I'll give it a shot anyways. I've actually never heard the word "tagging" used on Poshmark, but I'm guessing what you were referring to is the use of the "@" symbol before a posher's username. It works the same way as mentioning someone on twitter or facebook - when you put the "@" sign in front of someone's username in Poshmark it will who up in their notifications. *Note: You don't have to use the "@" sign in front of the username if you are in that same user's listing.
cody7150

Hi! After joining 3 mo. ago, I'm back asking for help again. I've been doing really well selling. I give bundle discounts, %10 for NWT and %15 for gently used, I think I got this idea from your closet. The problem is that today, I feel I gave away too much of my profit. I was asked to bundle 5 items, one item was a brand new pair of boots, I knew that once the discounts were applied this buyer was getting an excellent deal, the problem came when I had to pay the extra shipping charge for the extra 3 lbs. After paying for that extra $6, I feel I really did not make any money after my time, wrapping, card, tape and any usually insignificant cost, oh yeah driving to the Post Office, I told her I'd mail today (Sat.). I wanted to get it mailed out for her before it closed for the weekend. I know this is not the buyers fault, but mine. I'm just trying to figure out how price and how to do this again so I don't undersell my items.
thebrazenskirt
@becky1004 Hi Becky! Sorry for the late reply...I just got back from holiday out of country. This question was posed to me at some point before and I responded with the following advice...though it is a personal choice based on whether or not this is a serious source of income for a seller or more of a hobby. (I fall more into the hobby category.) Sometimes I have encountered the same situation you have, but I have decided to just take a hit very now and again. Let ask you this...when you bundle NWT items with used items, do you give a 10% total discount, 15% total discount or discount the items individually based in whether it is new or used? Another thing I typically do on large bundles is charge extra for shipping and let the buyer know this beforehand. I usually just estimate how much in addition it will cost. Let me know if you have other questions! Happy Thanksgiving!
becky1004
Thank you for taking your time from your busy schedule! I hope you had wonderful trip and happy Thanksgiving! I'm between jobs right now, so this has gone from hobby to "obsession" and I think I need to go back to hobby and not worry so much. I will next time ask the buyer to pay extra shipping or ask to split depending. I really appreciate your suggestions. You are a very kind person to answer all these questions. For me I think I just need bounce questions off someone and I usually after I think things over I come to the answer myself before I get an answer back (and it's the same conclusion). Thank you!!!

@dzirulz Hi there! I actually really like the Tyvek Priority Mail Envelopes. Those are the ones that are a floppier material and not the flat cardboard. I can usually fit 2-3 tops or 2 pairs of pants in them. I like to go into the post office to get them because I usually wait until the last minute to get a box, but you can find them here: https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?productId=P_EP_14&categoryId=subcatMSS_PriorityMail
thebrazenskirt
@dsirulz Sorry girl, I replied, but accidentally typed in the wrong name. So, please see above. You can also get the boxes on the website, but I like to pick them up at the post office. If you do pick them up at the post office, be sure that you don't grab the ones that say "Express Mail," "Regional Rate," or "Flat Rate." I will post links to them in separate links below.

@ericag514 Hi there! When you see the reserved banner on a listing that just means someone hit the "buy now" button and are in the process if purchasing. This way, nobody else can try and buy at the same time.
ericag514
Gotcha!! Thanks. Now it home. Must've changed their mind 😔. Thanks for your quick response.

How do I get more followers and people to view my closet? Thanks! 😘
thebrazenskirt
@amassey143 Hi girl! I would def read through some of the previous comments - a lot of good advice was tossed around about how to recruit
more followers, but my top suggestions are: Share, share, share other poshers closets. The more you share, the more others will share in return...this gives your closet visibility to poshers who are not currently following. Also, share to posh parties! Posh parties happen 3 times a day and anyone who is participating in the party can see the items you are sharing. Make sure your items fit the party theme...this gives you a better chance of having your items chosen as "Host Picks." One last tip: Make sure your closet photos are crisp and clear, your items are ironed for photos and you have good descriptors for each item!
angela_laconte
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! It's much appreciated!!
thebrazenskirt
@katyscloset I didn't make my first sale until I had over 2,000 followers and some good "posh pals" helping me promote my closet. I might suggest that you work on getting more followers. Aside from the posh parties, only YOUR followers are seeing your items when you share them...so your closet visibility is minimal. There are so many ways to get followers and increase your visibility. My first thought is to just share the crap out of other posher's closets. In turn, those poshers will share yours. When other poshers share your closet ALL of their followers will see your items in their feeds...and a good bit of the time you'll get some followers. Search for poshers with similar style and size as you and share away! Hint: Look for poshers with a lot of followers and share their closets. If they share in return then your items will get a lot more visibility. One last piece of advice...make your closet as "pretty" as you can manage. Try on clothes for photos or arrange them in outfits...use collage apps (I like pic stitch) to show multiple angles and close ups of the clothing.
myguenevere
Can I add more pics? How do I let people know that I like paypal? I'm the FNG☺️
thebrazenskirt
@myguenevere Hi there and welcome to Poshmark! As far as adding additional photos: Click on the listing you'd like to add photos to, click "edit listing," and from there you should see 3 additional spaces to add photos right beside your main photo! You can also use collage apps (like pic stitch) to have multiple pics in your main photo. As far as PayPal goes...utilizing Paypal is against Poshmark's rules and regulations so I can't give you much advice there. 😊 I know there are other posher's who do it, but have also known a handful to be thrown off PM for utilizing PayPal. Let me known if you have any other questions! Happy Poshing!
myguenevere
Thanks a million

@shopgirl85 this is a great way to learn more about Poshmark :)

Sorry! @shopgirl509 this is a great place for learning the ropes of Posh :)

@chaywill Lots of questions and answers here - feel free to ask any questions if you have them as you are becoming accustomed to PoshMark. Have fun getting addicted. :)

How do you delete a listing? I've reorganized some items, and wish do delete a posting. Thanks!
thebrazenskirt
@eharnish just click on the listing and scroll to the bottom. You will see a big red delete button!
koepke
So nice of u!
krissysue2
@thebrazenskirt I don't know if anyone else has asked this, but someone has asked me to bundle two items for sale. Do I NEED to create a separate "bundle" listing for her, or can I just adjust the price on the two existing listings to reflect the new price discount? Thanks!
thebrazenskirt
@krissysue2 You need to create a new listing with both items included so that the buyer only has to pay one shipping fee. :)
krissysue2
Thank you! That's what I did. I wasn't sure if they charge double shipping for items from the same closet.
holland75
Does anyone sell kids clothes?
thebrazenskirt
@holland75 Yeah, some people do....but you would have to search. I don't think it is in postmarks rules to sell kids and men's clothing, but I've definitely seen it.
yupthatsme
Do u have to use a special box to ship
thebrazenskirt
@yupthatsme If you have a box, you can use that, but you can get free priority shipping boxes from any post office. They come in all different sizes. Just make sure you don't accidentally grab the "flat rate shipping" boxes because those cost money. They look pretty similar. If you scroll about 10 or so posts up, I provided links to another posher.
ellejphoto
How do I get followers? If I don't have followers and I post items to sell will anyone see it?
thebrazenskirt
@ellejphoto Hi there! Welcome to Poshmark. When someone is brand new, I always suggest they check out the FAQ section to learn the basics. The FAQ section provides you some ways to generate followers. First and foremost, you can't really have followers until you begin listing items. Poshers will search for listing and once you have items, they will pop up in searches. Poshmark suggests having at least 10 items. You can also gain followers by: 1.) Following others who have similar style tastes; more often than not they will follow you back. 2.) Sharing other poshers closets; you will more than likely receive a share and potential follower. 3.) Share to posh parties; when you share to parties, all those participating in the party are able to see your items! Good luck!

Q: How do you get to be a suggested user? How do items get picked for Posh parties? How do users get picked to host Posh parties?
thebrazenskirt
@fromtwotoone Hi there! I'll answer your questions in 3 different comments. The first - how to become a suggested user! There are a few different criteria you must meet to become a suggested user: 1. You have to be in good standing with the PM community and follow the terms of service (no trading, no paypal, etc.); 2. Have a stellar sales history!; 3. Clear cover shots and descriptions; 4. A lot of listings...:) PM reccommends at least 10.; 5. And, it helps to be a great networker - someone who connects with and educates others. There is no process for applying to be a suggested user - work hard and you'll get noticed!
thebrazenskirt
@fromtwotoone How items get picked for posh parties - I assume you're talking about how to get your items chosen as "Host Picks." Everyone can share their own items to Posh Parties and when you do, the hosts will be perusing all the items that are shared and have the opportunity to "highlight" you item if they love it: Rule #1 Follow the posh party theme! For instance, sharing yoga pants in a "Work Week Chic" party will probably not get your item chosen as a host pick. Rule #2: Hosts are just like you and I...everyday poshers! Network and make friends with your fellow poshers and when it's their time to host, they will more than likely share and "host pick" your items.
thebrazenskirt
@fromtwotoone How do users get picked to host parties? Good question. Lol. I've never had the opportunity to host a party, but have inquired about it. The response that I received is that I will be notified when a spot opens up to host. I would suggest emailing Poshmark, let them know you're interested in hosting a party and see what kind of response you get. :)
thebrazenskirt
@midnightcowboy Sharing is caring! When other poshers share your items, share their items back!
michelleannette
@thebrazenskirt Hi Kay, thanks for offering support. I am really trying to build a closet and follow everyone who follow me, same thing with shares. What do you do when the seller is selling things that are not Posh allowed. I just had a seller follow me and gave me lots of share. She is selling perfume, bodylotion, intimate items. I just didn't know what to do. Then she asked me for my email so I could model something.???? Any thoughts? Thanks, MichelleAnnette
thebrazenskirt
@michelleannette Hi there! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was hiking and didn't have phone access. :)
My suggestion is to use your judgement when sharing items that are not allowed. Personally, I will not share those sorts of items because, as a Suggested User, I try to follow Posh rules as best as I can. Honestly, sometimes users (especially if they are new) are not even aware that certain items are not permitted. Typically, I'll go through the users closet and see if there are any items that are permitted and share those.
I have shared my email with some of my posh friends, but otherwise I do not share email. If she wants you to model something, I suggest you model it and post it on your listing. That is also JUST A SUGGESTION and you should use your own judgement as far as that is concerned.
thebrazenskirt
@midnightcowboy In my opinion, it's inappropriate to say "Interested?" Actually, it's down right irritating. I usually say "Thanks for the like! Happy poshing!" or something of that nature. I also typically try to share a few items from their closet!
jcrewaddicts
My money was redeemable so I requested a check June 30th, It's now July 6th and I still have not received the check with MY money on it and I emailed poshmark two times and no response. How long does it take for checks to come normally?
thebrazenskirt
@jcrewaddicts Hi there! June 30-July 6 is not that long of a time (and remember, businesses work within business days...meaning Monday-Friday and excluding holidays). So, if you think about it, there was only 4 business days in that period of time becuase of the 4th of July holiday.
My suggestion is to change your redemption method to direct deposit for future sales. You will receive you money faster and directly to your account (usually within 2 business days depending on how fast your bank processes). The next time you go to redeem, choose "Bank Direct Deposit" and fill out the required information. I think you'll be happier with how fast you receive your money. As for the check you haven't received yet, I woudn't panic. I don't know that actual time, but from my own professional experience I would say give it 10 business days.
thebrazenskirt
@lhewett01 Hi there! Since I've been on Poshmark, this has probably been the question that has been asked most. In fact, this question when I first started out --> I didn't make my first sale until my 4th week in! Upon first glance, I think you're off to a good start with your closet! Here is what I typically tell those looking for advice: 1. Make sure your closet is visually appealing! I think you're doing a great job with this, but there may be a few other things you can do (model the jewelry, take photos of your shoes with outfits, take multiple vantage points). Check out these visually appealing closets for more ideas: @wearinla @megcarlson27 @mschilly @mollydolly. And, "there are apps for that!" Check out Overgram and A Beautiful Mess to help with you cover shots. 2. Seek more followers! The more followers you have, the more your clothes will be shared and the more people will see them. To attract more followers, engage with the Poshmark community. If you see a posher that has the same style as you, let them know...share their items...and follow them! More than likely, they will return the favor (after all, that's posh etiquette 101!) 3. Share to posh parties every day! Parties maximize your opportunity for others to see your listings. When you share to a party, all those poshers who are participating in the party can see your listing (not just your followers). And, always follow the party theme, for example, don't share a skin tight, leopard print dress to a "Work Week Chic" party. If you stick with the theme, and you're lucky, a host will recognize your fabulous item and choose it as one of their "HOST PICKS." Host Picks show up in their own little showroom for all those interested to browse! *Note: Don't just share to post parties, share on your own feed. And, share other posher's items too! This will get your shares in return! 4. Be responsive to inquiries! When someone posts a comment/question about your item, do you best to get back to them promptly. If poshers are anything like me, I will move on to another closet if I do not get a response within a days time. There are obviously circumstances where you cannot respond immediately, but I always suggest a "I'm at work right now, but will get back to you as soon as I get home" response if doable! 5. Be patient - and put in the work! Your time will come. Remember, there are hundreds of thousands of other poshers trying to sell their items. What can you do to make your closet stand out?

You're seriously the sweetest! Thanks girl!!!! 💋💋

@midnightcowboy Hi! So, labels for packages over 5 lbs will incur an extra label charge. Unfortunately, the seller (you!) is in charge of paying that extra shipping charge. The charge is automatically deducted from your earning/credit. To generate a new label, you need to go to your Account Tab --> My Sales --> Select Your Order --> Need New Shipping Label --> Need Heavier Weight Label. You'll want to select the TOTAL weight of your package. Here are the rates for shipping: Up to 5 lbs is FREE; 6 lbs is $3.99; 7 lbs is $7.98; 8 lbs is $11.97; 9 lbs is $15.96; 10 lbs is $19.95. As far as what to ship the dress in...you can ship it in any box big enough! (Just as long it is not a flat rate pre-paid box!)
p3nta6on
If I offer free shipping on something how do I go about paying for that?? Thanks
thebrazenskirt
@p3nta6on Hey there! When you see a posher offer "free shipping" all that means is that they will discount $5 off the total (that's how much shipping costs.) For instance, if you purchased 2 shirts from me for $30, I would discount the total to $25 to make up for the shipping cost. There is no way for you to pay for the seller to pay for shipping on Poshmark! Note: if you are shipping an item that is over 2lbs, your shipping fee will go up! See my comment just above where I explain overweight shipping fees! Does that answer your question?
p3nta6on
@thebrazenskirt thanks so much for helping out!
thebrazenskirt
@p3nta6on Oh no...there was a typo in my response to you! :) I meant to type "If you are shipping an item that is over FIVE lbs, your shipping fee will go up." Not 2 lbs! Yikes!
p3nta6on

I'm not sure if you would call me new, I've been here since the end of July, but I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get an item chosen to be a "Host Pic"? Or is there something that would exclude you completely, besides the obvious, like items that should not be sold? Also, how are people chosen to co-host a party, such as yourself? I really try hard to make my items look appealing, and I give awesome deals but none of my posts have been chosen as a host pick😟😢😳. I'm looking forward to your advice whenever you have time. Thanks in advance 😸
sassysantana
Oh and my closet stats sat suggested user but I've never been notified by Posh that I am in fact a top rated, suggested user. Do you need to sell a certain amount of items?
sassysantana
Say* not sat 😉
thebrazenskirt
@erica1deinert Hey there! Sure, you can be considered new!...I still feel new sometimes because I am learning new things everyday and I've been on Posh for 2 years! Firstly, let me just say that you're off to a fabulous start with your closet. :) I always tell newbies to check out these closets for some "fresh" ideas for listings @mschilly, @megcarlson27 and @wearinla. I love how these girls have their closets set up and they are 3 different perspectives. As far as being a suggested user goes...quite honestly I think the qualifications have changed for how one becomes a suggested user - as well as how you are notified - since I was first chosen. However, I was notified with an email stating why I was chosen. If you want clarification on whether or not you are ranked as a suggested user, I would recommend reaching out to supportATposhmark.com (I've never had trouble receiving a response from them). On to hosting/host picks...you can inquire about hosting a party by reaching out to Poshmark Support as well. I imagine there may be a wait list and I'm not sure if there are specific requirements. Host picks: these can be tricky! I used to tell people to share like crazy to posh parties and to make sure that shared items fit with the party theme. HOWEVER, there are SO many more users now than what there used to be and parties get flooded with items. What I've learned from being a host is that there are a lot of poshers who lay in waiting for host names/parties to be released at the beginning of the week and then go directly to the hosts asking for items to be chosen as host picks. As a host, it can be overwhelming because you get a FLOOD (and I mean a complete downpour) of comments everyday, but amazingly it can also be helpful to hosts when picking items to share to the party. It's fun to browse around, but when you are expected to come up with 50-100 stellar picks...suggestions always help! I think that most party hosts are used to receiving lots of comments by this point, so why not try that strategy!? I might... :)

Thanks so much for getting back to me, and so quickly for that matter! I appreciate all the information you have shared with me 😊 I will definitely look into it. Have a great time tonight co-hosting. 💝💝💝

Hello! I am completely new to this forum and would like to sell a few great items that others are sure love. I have not been able to find the "ground rules". Is there a fee to list and sell? (similar to ebay?) Are there restrictions to what you can list for sale, and is there a limit to the number of items one can post at a time? What is the accepted for of payment, or can the seller determine? Can I use PPl? And finally I think I read that when an item is sold, a postage paid envelope would be sent in order to ship the item to the buyer. Can you clarify? Who takes care of this? How do we pay for this service? Sorry for all the questions. I have so many more to go. This seems like a fantastic site and I would really like to join and get involved. Any information you can share with me is greatly appreciated. I sincerely thank you!
thebrazenskirt
@iheartmk Hey there! I think you will be able to find the answers to most of your questions by clicking on your account (bottom right corner) and scrolling down to "frequently asked questions." I will give you a short run down...! 1.) Yes, there is a 20% fee to sell. 2.) You can sell women's items and accessories (no men's or children's items...make up...electronics...). There is no limit, but PM recommends at least 10 items for a well rounded closet. 3.) You can only sell through PM. You can not sell through Ppl or take transactions offline. You can redeem through direct deposit or request a check me sent to you. 4.) Shipping is super easy. Once a buyer makes a purchase from your closet you will immediately be shipped a pre-paid label to your email on file. Just print, put on package and send! Note: The payment for shipping is charged to the buyer. Also note that if the package you mail is OVER 5 lbs, you will need to go into the order and print a heavier shipping label. The additional shipping is charged to you. Did I get everything? Welcome to posh!
iheartmk
Thank you so much for the information! I think you addressed every single question I had and I really appreciate you taking the time to assist me. I can't wait to get started! This is going to be fun, and I have so many things to sell. Tons of things! I am what you would call a shopaholic! My kids college funds are invested in handbags! LOL Let the games begin!

@thebrazenskirt what do you do when you've exhausted your closet and have nothing left to sell? Then what?

Hi. How can I select more then one item to share at once? Do I need to select each item individually and share? Thank you.

@mayorga13 unfortunately, you can only share one at a time! Hopefully one day that will change!

Very helpful thx!
andys_jeep7
Ok, so i recently started adding more listings and making more sales, the only thing is that, its cluttering my closet... Do you know how i can organize it like I've seen that the sold items are all at the bottom, and new ones up top? Thanks! That would be awesome of you could help me with that :)
thebrazenskirt
@andys_jeep7 Hi there! You just have to share ALL of your unsold items and that will push the sold items to the bottom of your closet. Unfortunately, every time you make a sale you have to share all unsold items to make the sold item push to the bottom.
andys_jeep7
@thebrazenskirt Thank you so much for gettin back to me so soon :) You are incredibly helpful :)
liveloveoutpost
How do you trade on Poshmark?
thebrazenskirt
@liveloveoutpost Honestly, I don't trade. Poshmark's protection policy does not cover trading - so I just don't mess with it. It is "permitted" on the app, but there was a time when it wasn't allowed and was grounds for being kicked off the app. It's still frowned upon, but I know that there are many people who do it. I would recommend checking out Poshmark's FAQ page for more info on the trading policy!
pnasca
Thanks for answering all us newbies ques . I know you mentioned photo apps you use but I'm still not understanding on to get it onto the sell page . All I can figure out to do is take my own pics with the poshmark photo page
thebrazenskirt
@pnasca What are you trying to upload? Just a photo? When you hit The sell button, instead of taking a picture click on the folder button in the bottom right-hand corner. That should bring up all of the pictures you've taken on your regular camera and you can choose which one to list. This is assuming you use an iPhone… I don't have an android!
itemstosell
I'm so glad you were suggested as a seller to follow. Just read through so many of your answers. That's so great of you to take the time to help people. One thing I messed up with was responding to people's comments. I didn't understand why people weren't getting them. It's because I wasn't using the @ symbol before their name! I'm currently redoing a lot of my listings since the earlier ones didn't come out too well.
itemstosell
Oops - leaned on the send button. Didn't mean to end the comment so abruptly. I will checking your closet & helpful hints often! Thanks for all the advice.

@itemstosell No worries, it took me a little to get used to the @ symbol as well! Glad this helped you- let me know if you have any other questions at any point! :)
jeskvjn
Hi I was wondering if there was a way to check people's ratings? I have bought some not so nice items when the claim to be "like new" then come with stains. Can I check how they were rated by others?
thebrazenskirt
@jeskvjn Unfortunately at this time ratings are only viewable to the seller. Kinda silly if you ask me, big you could always ask the seller to take a screenshot of their rating. If an item is not at all as described, you can file a dispute with Poshmark!
jeskvjn
Ok thanks! I didn't think so just didn't know how hard it was to file a dispute so I just took the loss :(. Thanks for your help!

@thebrazenskirt how do I share/add one of my items to a posh party? Thank you!!
thebrazenskirt
@blolley Posh parties occur three times a day: 12p, 3p and 10p (EST) and last for two hours. During the times posh parties are happening, all you have to do is hit the "share" button on the listing you want to share and you will be given an option to either share to your newsfeed OR share to the party. You would choose the party!
ninav11
Hi I'm new to posh been on for about 2 weeks now. I'm not going to ask how to get more sales as I too have only sold 2 items but I read all your advice and I'm following them. Hopefully it will help. My question is on the news feed page how do you get your closet on there? Some have 3 to 4 pictures of there items and right below it says shop ash98 closet.
thebrazenskirt
@ninav11 You have to share your items for them to appear on your followers newsfeeds. You'll also notice that some of the listings say (for example) "thebrazenskirt shared 5 items from ninav11's closet. Shop ninav11's closet." Those appear on followers newsfeeds when someone else shares multiple items from your closet and vice versa. This isn't something that poshmark picks...it's up to you to share away for it to appear in the newsfeed.
ninav11
@thebrazenskirt ty so much for your response and for sharing my items. I now see how that comes up on the newsfeed however I meant how do I put my own. (Ex) right now on the news feed brittneyshea listed 12 items but I see them as four pictures together and just below it it says shop brittneyshea closet. Is she doing that or does posh group them like that? Does that make sense what I'm asking? Like I see you just added 2 dresses but they came up as separate listings.
thebrazenskirt
@ninav11 Yes, I understand what you are asking. It's the same as if someone else shares them. If you share multiple items it may show up in followers newsfeeds as a clump. Again, from my understanding, posh has nothing to do with how they appear. I would assume it's just a computerized system. In short, you have no control how your shared items appear in your newsfeed or in other's newsfeeds.
ninav11
@thebrazenskirt ok now I understand. Ty so much. I just wanted to ask what u think of my closet? I know my pictures are not that great. Need to wrk on that. I also thought maybe it was my size? My prices r really low. I'm really just trying to let go of items I no longer use and 2 take the money and use it to buy items from other poshers I have so many things I want 2 buy already. Just need to make some sales to do it. 😀
thebrazenskirt
@ninav11 I think your prices are reasonable! Quality photos are important, but even I lack in that. I would say modeling items is best (again, I don't model all items just because I don't have time). I also think the less "noise" going on the photos is best...meaning I'd great rid of borders and other design elements that distract from the items. I used to do that and I was given the advice to nix them and that seemed to help my sales.
ninav11
@thebrazenskirt hi I was hoping u could help me. I just made a sale and they asked if I could bundle two separate listings I have never done this???? Help pls don't want to lose the sale. Also since I lowered the price already on both items will she get .99 shipping? Ty so much
thebrazenskirt
@ninav11 Sorry lady, I'm painting my house at the moment. You just list the items in the same listing and set the price as the combined price. Look in my closet all the way at the bottom at one of my bundles.

Hi! I was reading this & yes I'm a newbie. I waited a while before I listed any items. Actually bought several first. I spent 3 wks on & off just reading poshmark & looking at listings... I've seen numerous trades!& the thing I've noticed that irritates me- the seller ignores the questions : /??? Looks like I'll ask you if u don't mind being a newbie! BTW I'm Michele 😊😊

@stunning_29 Hey Michele! Thanks for stopping by! I'm not sure what you're asking me. Are you asking about the trading policy?
thebrazenskirt
@roccorocks Hi Julia. I apologize for the delay in answering your question. First, I would read through my questions/answers in this feed. Many people have asked this question and you may find some good feedback throughout. Below is an excerpt from the same question that can be found above:
thebrazenskirt
@roccorocks 1. Make sure your closet is visually appealing! I think you're doing a great job with this, but there may be a few other things you can do (model the jewelry, take photos of your shoes with outfits, take multiple vantage points). You can use apps to help with cover shorts: Overgram / A Beautiful mess.
thebrazenskirt
@roccorocks 2. Seek more followers! The more followers you have, the more your clothes will be shared and the more people will see them. To attract more followers, engage with the Poshmark community. If you see a posher that has the same style as you, let them know, share their items and follow them! More than likely, they will return the favor.
thebrazenskirt
@roccorocks 3. Share to posh parties! Parties maximize your opportunity for others to see your listings. When you share to a party, all those poshers who are participating in the party can see your listing (not just your followers). And, always follow the party theme. Don't share a skin tight, leopard print dress to a "Work Week Chic" party. If you're lucky, a host will recognize your fabulous item and choose it as one of their "HOST PICKS."

@roccorocks 4. Be responsive to inquiries! When someone posts a comment/question about your item, do you best to get back to them promptly. If poshers are anything like me, I will move on to another closet if I do not get a response within a days time. There are obviously circumstances where you cannot respond immediately, but I always suggest a "I'm at work right now, but will get back to you as soon as I get home" response if doable!

@roccorocks 5. Be patient - and put in the work! Your time will come. Remember, there are hundreds of thousands of other poshers trying to sell their items. (PS. Sorry for the multiple comment...Poshmark now limits comments to 500 characters!)

Sorry sweetie I probably didn't communicate clearly. I'm a newbie 😊. I was just reading this thread & saw ur answers to several questions. Which helped ALOT! I assume there is no trading correct? & I had mentioned I had noticed that trading is goin on& ALOT of sellers advertising about the other websites such as Mer.. & purchasing on WISH another website then marking it up at least 50%. Is that allowed? I wldnt think so...?
stunning_29
Also shipping seems to b a huge problem. . W p.o. not scanning Posh?. Looking to educate myself the right way& found you! Hopefully I won't overload you w questions! ?😊
thebrazenskirt
@stunning_29 At one point, trading was prohibited. However, if you look through Poshmark's FAQ page you will see that you are allowed to trade, but if a transaction goes wrong Poshmark can't do anything. Trading is frowned upon and I wouldn't do it unless you absolutely trust the seller. As for advertising sales on other sites, that is prohibited for obvious reasons.
thebrazenskirt
@stunning_29 I'm not sure what you mean about shipping being a problem. I've only ever had one real shipping problem and it was my own stupid fault for printing out the wrong label. Lol. I think Posh makes it pretty easy to ship.
thebrazenskirt
@stunning_29 Some sellers do have wholesalers licenses and will purchase items from places like wish, Sammy dress, light in the box...etc. and mark up. It is allowed...this is a business for some people. It is your prerogative if you want to purchase from them or not. Items purchased from wholesale websites are hit or miss in size of quality...so choose wisely when purchasing.
stunning_29
Ok hun thankyou for answering my questions! ☺ . I think the question I had as far as shipping was the post office scanning the item. . I just had my 1st sale last nite so I'm goin thru the steps to ship the item at the post office. ...
thebrazenskirt
@stunning_29 I've never had a problem with the post office scanning, so I think you'll be okay!
stunning_29
Ok thanks so much for answering my billion questions! Ur really helpful sweetie! 😊

@emham1109 I just took a look at your closet and I honestly think your prices are completely reasonable. It's all a personal preference, but when someone sends me an EXTREME lowball offer through the offer button (which I hate, btw), I typically decline and state to the buyer "I keep my prices low from the start, so I don't negotiate on items unless bundled." Or something to that effect.
thebrazenskirt
@emham1109 On occasion...if something has been in my closet for a REALLY long time, I'll give a 10-15 percent discount depending on whether the item is gently used or NWT. But is always communicate via comment...I just can't take that offer button!
thebrazenskirt
@bellapovera Hi there! Please take a look though past comments where I've listed a ton of tips. I'd copy and paste, but poshmark now only allows 500 characters per comment! If you have any further questions once you've looked through, let me know!
kbuenostyle
Hi Kay! I'm so sorry if this has been answered, I read some of the comments but admit I didn't yet read through them all. I have read the Poshmark TOS over and over and I'm still confused about bathing suits and undergarments that aren't explicitly noted as NWT. I thought they had to be NWT even if the seller is claiming they were never worn (in other words, no NWOT allowed) but I just saw a suggested user's closet with a bunch of sold bikinis that didn't specify one way or another....
kbuenostyle
...(cont.) They just said "in great condition" which I take to mean they were used. So what's the deal? Thanks!😊
thebrazenskirt
@klg139 Yes, sellers are not supposed to sell bikinis that are used, however I don't see how Poshmark can regulate this. There are people all over PM selling items they shouldn't be selling (kids clothing, men's clothing, makeup...), but PM can't bust them all! 😛 As a seller, I wouldn't list used swimwear and as a buyer I wouldn't buy it!
kbuenostyle
Thanks for clarifying! Even if it were not a guideline, I wouldn't want to buy a used swimsuit either...but to each his own. Seems icky to me though!
blondbizzle
Best overall tips and advice?

Hi Kay! I am a newbie and enjoying it!
Since Posh Parties last over an hour, can I share a listing multiple times? Thanks!
bejai
@thebrazenskirt thanks soooo much 4 being honest& there 4 us....
silveerr
If I were to an offer and it was accepted can I still bundle?
thebrazenskirt
@silveerr I don't believe so unless you cancel the order. But, I've honestly been MIA for a few months because I'm pregnant and have been sick so some things may have changed in the past few months. I would talk it over with the seller and see if you can cancel and repurchase.
silveerr
Thank you very much I didn't want to make that risk
tammieoverholt
@thebrazenskirt. Hello. You seem very helpful and knowledge and I have a question. What is an appropriate way to tag yourself when you notice a friend/follower is hosting a posh party....for example would I just write " Congrats, can't wait to PARTY, @tammieoverholt" ? Also if u wanted to add some peoples' closets I love is there a way to do it more efficiently than copying and pasting each individual name? Thanks so much!!!!!
lilgrntrtl
Hi! I was just reading through the previous comments and they helped so much. Thanks for all the advice :) If you have time and don't mind, would you mind taking a look at my closet and letting me know your opinions on how to make my closet better haha? I really need to make more sales and I feel like it's so hard to do that.
kalondia
You are wonderful to share your knowledge. I am enjoying this journey and being able to rely on Posher's like you just makes things better and better. I noticed today that I'm now a Posh Mentor. I am not really sure what I did to receive that honor but can you give me some suggestions/feedback on what I should be doing to help others when it comes to mentoring? Thank you so much. :)
thebrazenskirt
@kolandia Hi there! To be honest, I've been on a "nine-month hiatus" (about to have a baby any day now!), so this term is rather new to me. I searched through the poshmark blog and found this link that talks a bit about poshmark mentoring: http://blog.poshmark.com/2015/04/15/posh-tip-how-to-be-a-pff-mentor/ . I'm hoping that can give you some ideas. Sorry I couldn't help more, but I plan to be back in the full swing of things in April. 🙂

Hi! I'm a fairly new posh mark member but I've sold over a hundred dollars worth of stuff and I was wondering why I hadn't received my funds via direct deposit and realized I had entered the wrong routing number! ahh I fixed it just now but I am freaking out that my money is just in la la land! please help, I appreciate it so much!
thebrazenskirt
@ohkay521 Hi there! Welcome to PM and congrats on your sales. Because I'm not a PM employee, I can't give you a definite answer to your question. I will say, I've never had any problems with my Poshmark payments or deposits so I'm confident they will work it out for you. I would suggest just emailing Poshmark support to make sure they received your correct routing info.
ohkay521
Ok I just did thank you for responding!!💗

@4me I want to turn my photo of my shors around and don't know how . so then I wanted to delete the cover photo and it won't let me so I guess I'll have to do that one all over again.At 66 it's bit of a challenge for me.
thebrazenskirt
@terryjodi Hi there! It's awesome that house on posh! Unfortunately, you can't edit your photos in poshmark. If you wanted your shoes to be flipped around, you have to take a photo using your phone camera and then upload into poshmark.
thebrazenskirt
@terryjodi I posted too soon. You can change your cover photo by clicking on the photo and hitting "edit." That should give you the option to take a new photo. You shouldn't have to start over!
terryjodi
Thanks for your reply. I just did my items over. Love you clothes will look more on my day off.

Is there any way to adjust printer setting so that I can print more than one shipping label per page? I currently use Chrome and when I print ol the label is centered in the middle of the page...

Hi there...im slightly new to this (1 month) and was wondering if you could go to my site and give me some feedback...what should i do to make it better. I just bought a half mannequin so I'm planning on using it too. Thanks for any feedback you can provide! 😊

Hi! I have seen how some people have their closets sorted by brand or type of listings. How do you do this without your listing going to the top of your closet after you share it. I just added kids clothes and would like to organize my listings...it's the OCD in me but it also seems like it would be easier for people to look at my closet! Thanks!
ktlynn10
@nash2458 this is the post I was talking about with great info on getting started. There really isn't much to it though!!
thebrazenskirt
@ktlynn10 Hi there! Unfortunately, it's a manual process to keep your listings organized. If you share one item and you want it back under a certain brand or clothing style, unfortunately you have to share all items in the order you want them to appear. That is, if things haven't changed recently. (I had a baby and haven't been an active seller in a few months!)
ktlynn10
Thank you! As far as I can tell it hasn't changed! I guess they will just have to stay mixed up for awhile! Enjoy your baby they grow too fast!

Hi! I'm newer to Poshmark and have sold just a couple items. I was wondering what bundles were and how they worked? I have noticed a couple followers add items of mine to a bundle and I just have no idea what that means or what to do. Thanks so much! -Sidnye

Hey how do I create a posh party?
thebrazenskirt
@cutie0707 Hi there! Users cannot make Posh parties. They are organized my Poshmark. Users can, however, host the parties, but you have to be chosen by Poshmark. If you are ever chosen, you will receive an email from an employee at Poshmark.
cutie0707
Ok thank you . I was just wondering because I sell Avon
thebrazenskirt
@cutie0707 You can list Avon items in your closet!

Hi. How do you share at a Posh Party? Also, someone said to share my items during party times. Is this the same thing as joining a Posh Party? Hope that's clear.
thebrazenskirt
@kthrninsandiego @kthrninsandiego Hi there! Parties occur multiple times a day (9 AM, 12 PM, 7 PM PST) and each have a specific theme. To share your theme-related items to a party:
1. Go to your listing when the party starts
2. Press the Share button and you will see the current party as an option to share.
3. Press the Share to Party button and it will be added to the party.
thebrazenskirt
If you have trouble sharing your listing, more than likely your brand or category does not follow party guidelines. For example, you try to share a pair of jeans to a "Best in Shoes" party. To find a list of parties, click the shop icon at the bottom of the app and then click "parties." Hope this helps!
