@proverbs_31 Thank you lots! I will be sure to follow these helpful tips.
kcamp9
@proverbs_31 I'm relatively new! Any tips for me on how to improve my closet or followers, or how to get more host picks? TIA!๐
proverbs_31
@kcamp9 Hi Katie :) I have hosted one party, and I've had countless HPs, so this is my perspective: "Like", share, and comment on Host's party announcements. Are you on any tag lists for this, where people tag you in party announcements? You can also go to Posh's blog on Mondays and see a list of upcoming parties for the week. Then, continue to help share their party announcement, and their closet....
proverbs_31
@kcamp9 Every time you share something from their closet, the Host can see it in their newsfeed - which gains you some exposure. And IMO you are doing something nice for them by sharing their items, not just "mooching" for a HP. Scratch their back, they scratch yours, is how I see it :) Not that they are obligated, they only get to choose 100 HPs, and can give themselves 10, leaving 90 for other Poshers.
proverbs_31
@kcamp9 I'd say share their closet once they have a theme/several days before their party. When I hosted, I had 85 of my 100 picks chosen by the day before, and was narrowing down my million other options on the day of the party. I did choose some new things that people tagged me in on the day of, but the chances were slim since I probably already had similar items picked out. Hope this all helps :)
proverbs_31
@kcamp9 And you have beautiful cover shots and good quality items in your closet! For more followers you could join Follow Groups - are you on tag lists for that (and parties?) And are you in any Share Groups?
kcamp9
@proverbs_31 thanks so much! I am part of one list for heads up on parties but I think that's it!
proverbs_31
@kcamp9 I know that Laura @lauras_boutique has a huge tag list to tag everyone on parties, follow groups, sales, etc. If you ask her, I think she'd probably add you to her list. Then when she adds new items to her closet, she'll tag you. I think it's a nice opportunity to return the favor to her and Share Share Share her new listings - a small gesture for all the work she does to help us and tag us in everything. Make sense?
proverbs_31
If you're interested in joining any share groups, let me know and I can tag you in a few that I'm in. You can read about them first and see if it seems like a good fit for you.

@proverbs_31 Hello! Thanks for sharing this information. I was really puzzled when I started poshmark and wasn't sure how shipping really worked. Does poshmark provide us with the shipping lables?
Again, thank you so much. I wish you all the very best!
proverbs_31
@sr_closet Welcome to Posh! Yes, a shipping label will be emailed to you. Just print it out and tape it to your package. So easy! And I explained about the boxes scheduling a pick up in the pic. Just make sure the boxes ONLY say "Priority Mail" - NOTHING else!! Really important that it's NOT express, flat rate, etc. Totally free & delivered to your door! You can sell on Posh without ever leaving your house!
sr_closet
@proverbs_31 That is great information! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your sharing.

juliewahoo
Hi:) I'm pretty new and am wondering why some users are able to select more than 2 colors to describe a listing. Thanks for helping new poshers!
proverbs_31
@jlblynn Hi Julie ๐ Honestly, I'm not positive. I was assuming it was different for iPhone vs Android users. I have an Android phone, and I can only select 2 colors. How about you? Let me ask someone who I know has an iPhone...
juliewahoo
I have an iPhone and can only select 2 colors. Weird! Thanks for your help๐
proverbs_31
@jlblynn Yeah, I just asked my friend with an iPhone and she said the same thing - she can only select 2. So I'm stumped! You could email Posh support - I go to them with all kinds of questions.
meg23
Can't believe I forgot to "like" this when I first read it. Saving to refer newbies to, I need to add a tag on mine to refer them here! You have some great shipping tips I don't.
meg23
Can you believe I still haven't tried the schedule a pickup function on the post office app?! ๐๐ I'm always hesitant to leave a package on my front doorstep since I live on a busy street. But realistically who's gonna steal it? Especially if they open it and see its clothes! (Not an iPhone! ๐)
meg23
've also been hesitant for fear of rain (my porch is small and it gets wet when it rains). But I heard a great idea about putting it inside a big plastic box. (Less visible and waterproof). So maybe I need to get with the program and give it a try! I'm guessing it's worked well for you huh?
proverbs_31
@marcie0707 Are you in any share groups?
proverbs_31
@ham_iam I'm getting all your "Thank You's" , just not responding to each one :) You have a great compliant closet and I KNOW there are more HPs in store for you!! I'll continue to tag you as a "new closet" for a while. It will def help for you to do what you're doing too - Congratulate the host! Like their party listing and share a few things from their closet now and then :)
ham_iam
@proverbs_31 you're awesome!! I really appreciate all the tips!! <3 <3 <3

@be_youtiful This thread, and the info in the pictures might help you :) I'll tag you in one more thread for newbies too.
mx_buxum
How should i present my items model them or display them??
proverbs_31
@mx_buxum People do it both ways. I think the key is good natural lighting and clear images. I tagged 3 of my favorite closets for cover shot & photography inspiration above in my 2nd comment ๐๐๐ Definitely go up and check them out!!! I also like @harmonyh & @chirocarly for simple, clear, well lit cover shots - easy to tell what's for sale. This should help!
chirocarly
Thank you for the tag <3 Hi @mx_buxum I just followed you , welcome to Posh! @proverbs_31 is amazing for questions. Have a great night ladies :))))

Hi! Lv ur closet and appreciate the info! !! I've gotten good and bad over the last 3 months. . Two questions, 1. I share and share and follow all I can! I was finally picked for one HP...what bothers me is they're are some items that are picked 4 or 5 times, while others go unnoticed. That seems to defeat the purpose when they're is a sm group that's always picked, etc. ..and I know most people would lv the chance! Any idea why? And. ..
ptl8
...2, I finally joined a sm group, who r wonderful. My problem is I have Muscular dystrophy, so some days I'm too sick to even get on, much less spend hours sharing, taking professional photos, making signs. Etc. ...which is just part of it. So while Posh had been great for me to get involved in, it seems I can never get caught up and as involved as others. How can I let my lack of mobility keep me from being able to compete with professional closets?
ptl8
...I realize that's a rhetorical question lol. ...but to be completely honest, and not to be negative in any way. ..but the sorority feel, is an aspect I didn't anticipate, and it's a drawback for me. At the same time I've made great friends...who r in the same boat I'm in. I know u get out what u put in, and God knew I needed a good activity! ! Any thoughts? Im selling, slowly, but am running out of things to post lol! !! I'm unable to shop and run mine as a business. ...
proverbs_31
@ptl8 Hi Amy :) I will try to share some tips that have worked for me, but there's no real cut & dry answer - it's up to each individual Host and what they want to feature in the HP showroom. You don't have any unsupported items or obvious reasons that you couldn't get a HP, so that's good. Are you on any tag lists, to be tagged on party announcements? That way you get a heads up on the upcoming parties & can try to promote your closet to the Host....
ptl8
...so I apologize for the looooong post๐you seem so kind, and full of great information! Your sale rate is awesome, I just don't have the time and energy to be as active. So any advice, for my thoughts or how my closet looks, is greatly appreciated! And thx again for letting me be so honest! God bless you๐๐
proverbs_31
@ptl8 Also see the comments I wrote on this thread on Dec 1 - they all pertain to getting HPs. And like you mentioned, it definitely helps to be involved in the Posh community - be friendly, Keep in touch - doesn't have to be every day, but it helps to build relationships with people. Think if you were hosting - wouldn't you want to give some HPs to your friends on here - the people who were friendly with you, who were supportive, always shared your items & sales, and helped you out, etc? :)
proverbs_31
@ptl8 Many hosts reserve a certain # of HPs for newbies. I will add you to my "newbie tag list" if you want - basically, I just try to recommend new closets to upcoming Hosts. It will also help if you then like & share the party listing, introduce yourself to the host, congratulate her, and share some of her items. Those are all great ways to get her attention on your closet - while sharing the love!
proverbs_31
@ptl8 Trust me, I wish I knew how to increase sales without being active!!! But I dont. I make more sales when I am on here more. My biggest problem is having lighting to take photos. I have such a dark apt. I have tons to be listed, but I can't get good photos unless I have natural light :/ A friend told me it helps her to list new things often and drop prices often... but that's easier said than done! You could join a share group that allows you to only sign up on the days you want to share?
ptl8
@proverbs_31 thx so much, I would really appreciate that! So for the party hosts themselves, you're saying to like their closets, and share them? During the party? I saw u say that on another post, but want sure how that was done. ...or ru saying everything that had been picked? Sorry for being slow!
proverbs_31
@ptl8 At least "like" their party ad, and share some items a few days before the party - while they're looking for HPs. When I hosted, I had 85 of my 100 picks chosen by the day before, and was narrowing down my million other options on the day of the party. I did choose some new things that people tagged me in on the day of, but the chances were slim since I probably already had similar items picked out. It's A LOT of work to host!! I spent lots of hours during several days preparing!!
ptl8
@proverbs_31 ok. ..theres a party going on now...is it too late to share?
proverbs_31
@ptl8 OK so for example, I just tagged you in a party listing. Now you can go ahead and "like" that listing. Share it to your followers. Then go to her closet and share a few items. This is a good way to attract some attention because she'll see this activity in her "news", so she's more likely to look in your closet. Her party isn't until late January, and she won't have a theme until a week or a few days before the party date. As it gets closer, she'll probably "drop the price" of...
proverbs_31
@ptl8 ...that listing - simply so that everyone gets a reminder about the party. Once she has a theme - that's the perfect time to share her party ad again, and also share some items from her closet, to once again, entice her to look in your closet - so she can maybe find something that fits the theme and deserves to be featured in the HP showroom ...The more parties/hosts you do this for, you'll increase your chances of getting your closet noticed for HPs! xoxo
proverbs_31
@ptl8 The 1st party of the day does not feature HPs, only the later 2 parties. For those 2 parties, Most likely (but not always) the Host has already picked out all their HPs prior to the party. It's usually too late to get a HP once the party has started. But - if you share a bunch of items that you see in the party feed, you'll probably get some return shares :)
proverbs_31
@ptl8 Hope that helps! Feel free to keep in touch and ask any other questions! I have a million things on my to-do list, so I'm gonna run - but thanks for saying hi and I hope to hear from you again :)
ptl8
@proverbs_31 thx a million๐๐๐๐๐

montanahastings
Hi! I had noticed on another listing that you were interested in some purple nike frees, I just listed a pair in a larger size! (: please let me know if you have any questions!
proverbs_31
@montanahastings This is a thread for sharing info with new Poshers. Wouldn't it make more sense to tag me in your own closet in the listing you're talking about? I don't wear that size. Just so you know, many people would consider your comment to be advertising your closet in someone else's closet, which is frowned upon.... I already shared your sneakers & a few other listings to my followers, simply as a friendly gesture. Thanks for the return shares, I do appreciate that ๐
montanahastings
I am so sorry! I looked through many of your listings, trying to find one that would best suit reaching out to you. I had never thought of advertising my closet :( I hadn't thought of tagging you in the listing, great idea though, I will make sure to do that next time! Thank you for your feedback. Hope the New Year treats you well.

onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Hi there!! I have a question and I'm so unsure about what to do. I just sold my wedding dress (hallelujah!! I never married the man, and am so glad someone else will get to wear that gown!).... The problem (?) is that it's awfully big and bulky and I'm unsure how to ship! I've had no problems with prior sales, but this is intimidating!! Any advice would be ahhhhmazing!! ๐๐๐
proverbs_31
@onlyonemc I've actually been concerned about that myself! Maybe email Posh and ask them? You could search for wedding dresses that have sold, and ask those sellers too. Posh says our shipping is for up to 5 lbs and doesn't mention box size anywhere, but i did have trouble with my box being too big once...
proverbs_31
@onlyonemc ... I was shipping a large purse and the base was so wide, it wouldn't fit in any of the USPS priority mail boxes. They wanted me to pay a hefty surcharge. After several attempts, finally the guy let it go as a one time courtesy. Maybe you'll get lucky if the post office employee isn't a stickler!
proverbs_31
@marcie0707 thanks for the introduction ๐ @texan9903 Hi Amanda! Welcome to Posh! I do have several tips in the pictures of this listing, plus lots of Q&A in this thread. Hope it helps! I'm here if you ever have questions! ๐
heavensparadise
@proverbs_31 Aww Thank you for helping Amanda Megan!! You are such a fabulous posh friend!! Thank u from the bottom of my heart for everything u have and continue to do for me.
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Awesome thank you!! I know Posh says we can upgrade our shipping label, but that comes out of our profit and that's no bueno! It may be my only option though.... That or wear a sexy dress to the post office and hope for the best LOL!!! Thanks so much!! ๐
proverbs_31
@onlyonemc When I had a problem, it was under 5 lbs, but the problem was the size of the box.... So even if you upgrade for the weight, it's possible you *might* still have a problem.... Let me know if you figure out anything! Good luck!
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Ooh gotcha. It'll certainly be.... Interesting! Thanks again for the advice!
proverbs_31
@onlyonemc How did things go with shipping the dress?
proverbs_31
@meg23 I remember you told me that you scheduled your first pick up! But I don't remember where you wrote it. How did it go?... I've been putting "ring bell" when I schedule the Pick Ups (as long as I'll be home). Our normal mail carrier will do this - ring the bell. Twice now, we've had an "alternate" guy who just opens the door to our porch and grabs the boxes waiting there! I guess it's convenient, but a little weird...
meg23
It went fine! It was a small package, I was able to put it in my mailbox, I put "in/at mailbox" in the comments and they picked it right up! Haven't tried it with a larger box yet but I think I might try putting it in a plastic container when I do. Keep it dry and less visible.
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Lol funny you ask! It took a few tries at the post office, but there wasn't a big enough box. I included the protective bag to hang it in, and the dress in the bag weighed exactly 5 pounds! I finally took it to a pack and ship place, where they sold me a perfect box for $5, then got an upgraded label from Posh for the extra weight ($7.95 out of my profit). .....
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Sigh. I'm just glad I finally got it shipped!! I feel so bad for my customer b/c it took forever, but it was a learning experience!! ๐๐๐
proverbs_31
@onlyonemc Did the Post Office give you a hard time about the shape/size of the box?
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 Nope they sure didn't! It would seem that as long as the proper label is attached, we can use whatever box we want. My issue at the post office was just that they didn't have a big enough box on hand. The negative of the pack & ship place was I had to buy the box. The positive was that they found the ideal one, then packaged, packed, and mailed it for me on the spot! .....
onlyonemc
@proverbs_31 .... I have one other heavy item for sale and think I'll go to the pack & ship store again as it was well worth the price of the box. But the extra money spent to ship is something we should all factor into any sales of heavy items (gowns, winter coats, etc.).

chinupbeautiful
@proverbs_31 Hello! I just joined 2/3 weeks ago. My name is Maddy. Thank you for you kindness and offering help. :-) I'm using my phone not a computer, similar to an android. How do I get involved on these parties? :-) Also, what gets a person chosen for a host picks? Again I am truly grateful to you for your kindness!
proverbs_31
@maloneym17 Here's my thread for New Poshers. More info is in the pictures. Hope this helps! ๐
proverbs_31
@chinupbeautiful Hi Maddy! I'm sorry this is such a late reply, I just saw your comment! It was my birthday the day you left a comment - it probably got lost in mt newsfeed.... You may have already figured some things out, but I'll try to help. There are 3 parties every day - brand, category, and theme. On your app there should be a "Shop" tab at the bottom - that's where you'll find the link to the parties....
proverbs_31
@chinupbeautiful ...You can browse current and past parties to shop -I recommend checking out the "showrooms" within that party - like Host Picks, First Look, etc. You can also share your items to the parties - anything that fits that particular party. When you share to a party, the entire Posh community has a chance to see it, not just your followers.
proverbs_31
@chinupbeautiful As for getting Host Picks, scroll up and read my comments from Dec 31 :) I will add you to my tag list of New Poshers - that will get you some extra attention from upcoming hosts. I'm here if you have other questions!
chinupbeautiful
@proverbs_31 Omgosh!! ๐ That will be a total blessing!!! I am so grateful for any help!! I do my best in sharing other's closet because I know how it is and if there is anything more I can do to help others, please let me know? Thanks a million and I will read this tonight hun!! ๐๐๐๐๐ธ
chinupbeautiful
@proverbs_31 I have to learn how to share my items that match each particular party. ๐ณ Vicky (she's amazing) told me how but for some reason, I am unable to do so. ๐ฎ I know with you amazing ladies help, I will get the hang of this. Lol.
chinupbeautiful
@proverbs_31 Awe. It's okay!! Happy late birthday!!!!๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ I pray you had a most spectacular day!!! Around those whom love you and are special in your heart!!!
proverbs_31
@chinupbeautiful I'm not sure what you mean exactly - that you're having trouble sharing items to the parties? There is a party going on now. It's the 3rd party of the day, so it's a theme. You can share anything from your closet, as long as it fits the theme "Casual Chic" - which is somewhat open to interpretation. When you click on one of your items you'll see the "share" icon somewhere - on Android it's under the item description.
proverbs_31
@chinupbeautiful ...When you click "share", you'll have options of where to share it to, so just click on the party. Your item will only show up in the party feed once, so if you try to share it to the party again, it will just go to your followers instead. Make sense?
proverbs_31
@inalittle I have "Tips for Buyers" in the 2nd picture. I definitely recommend asking questions prior to purchasing, so that you can get a better idea of what to expect. (you can still ask me questions if you want, but since you already own these pants and they are in good condition, hopefully you're all set!) And feel free to ask me anything else about using this app, buying, selling, etc! Happy Poshing ๐
katfoodmonster
@proverbs_31 Can you take a lil time to look at some of my items please? I'd love some corrective feedback.๐
proverbs_31
@katfoodmonster Hi Sarah! Congrats on getting your closet started! Is there anything in particular you want help with? You'll see sellers with different personalities, preferences, styles, etc. For cover shot inspiration, I recommend these closets: @harmonyh & @chirocarly have bright, simple, clear cover shots that are easy to tell what's for sale. @rmccouture & @cmc514 & @fashioniata have creative, bright cover shots that are eye catching and magazine-worthy!
proverbs_31
@katfoodmonster Personally, I like a white/plain/bright background for my cover shots. The more descriptive you can be upfront, the easier it is for a buyer to hit the "buy" button! It helps to include measurements, condition, an flaws, fabric content, or anything that will help the buyer understand what they'll be getting, since they can't inspect it themselves. I've come across some great posts about this, let me see if I can find them and I'll tag you...
chirocarly
Thank you so much PFF!!! Welcome @katfoodmonster :))))))
katfoodmonster
@proverbs_31 Thank you so much for the feedback. Sounds like closet make over time!!! Come back in a couple days if you wanna see the changes, and have an awesome weekend!๐๐๐
cmc514
Megan thank you! Welcome Sarah @katfoodmonster It seems like you have plenty tips to go off of here, but I myself am always (oK... sometimes lol) available for any questions you may have too!
cmc514
Great tips on the asking about color of the items for buyers Megan! That is one thing I get A LOT. I usually like to state in my description, if I think color is questionable, which photo is most accurate representation of the true color. I will also say that only the first pic is edited. I still get questions and it helps to talk about it still. Great tips!
proverbs_31
@jazzmehtazz This is a thread I started to pass on info I've learned. There are some tips in the photos, and lots of Q&A in this thread too. I've tagged some great closets up near the beginning to check out. Hope this helps! :)
megansl8
@proverbs_31 - Hi there! I love your closet and all the great tips! Thanks so much! Quick question, where do I find the tag lists and become a part of groups etc?
proverbs_31
@megansl8 Aw thanks! And my name is Megan too btw :) Many Poshers have their own "tag list" of their Posh friends, and keep each other in the loop. Some Poshers have huge lists and are really great about staying on top of tagging/notifying their lists about upcoming parties, sales, follow games, etc. If you want to get on a big tag list like that, you could ask @lauras_boutique to add you to her tag list.
proverbs_31
@megansl8 Regarding groups, do you mean a Share Group?? Poshers have started all kinds of share groups - basically you agree to share other Poshers' closets, and they share yours too. Everyone helps everyone, and gains more exposure. Some groups "meet" daily, others you just sign up on the day you want to participate. They all have different giudelines as far as what to share. If you'e interested, I can tag you in a few, and you can see what fits best for you.
megansl8
@proverbs_31 - That's so cool! I love meeting other Megan's! ๐. I would love if you would share some groups for me! I will definitely get ahold of her! Thanks for the tips!!

@proverbs_31 ๐Hi Megan, not sure who to ask about this but here goes... I put together a "Follow Game", shared it a bunch and got no response. I must be doing something wrong๐ค. Could you please take a look when you have time and tell me what I need to do to get it rolling? Thank you๐
โ๏ธโHave a blessed Easter Celebrationโโ๏ธ
proverbs_31
@karebear51 Hi there! I took a quick peek. I don't think there's anything wrong. It's possible that it was just overlooked by your followers at the time you shared it - they may not have even seen it in their feed. I tagged a bunch of Poshers, so hopefully they can help get the ball rolling ๐ Some people have huge tag lists, and they will spread the word more quickly by tagging lots of people. Hope that helps! ๐ Happy Resurrection Day! ๐

How do you open a boutique page?
proverbs_31
@datwrapladii I assumed that Posh hand picked them, but I'm not really sure. Let's ask someone who has a boutique page - @ninascloset5 Do you know how you get a Boutique page??
shop_ninas
@proverbs_31 @datwrapladii hello ladies - I honestly have no idea what process they took to select the boutiques and I never received a notification...
datwrapladii
@ninascloset5 @proverbs_31 thanks ladies๐๐
proverbs_31
@ninascloset5 Thanks for your input & quick reply! ๐ @datwrapladii You could email Posh support & ask them. It might attract their attention to your page too - I'm pretty sure they select the boutiques. Good luck!
datwrapladii
@proverbs_31 I'll give it a try. Thanks ๐๐

Love your closet! I am new to PoshMark (only been on here for 5 months) looking for some tips, tricks, and followers! Please come check my closet out! xoxo Emma McKenzie
proverbs_31
@emsneyd Hi! ๐ My advice is - avoid advertising your closet in other closets, especially under items for sale (for example - pasting your comment under a cute top that @chicklet11 is selling). Posh frowns upon that & people generally don't like it. My advice is to.... tag them in your own closet! ๐ I really think you may get better results. Also, for more followers, many people will follow you back if you follow them. Give it a try! Let me know if you have any specific questions. Good luck!
carson_creek
@proverbs_31 I didn't see it as advertising. Thank you! I will not say anything about my closet when posting in others.

Question: Is there a way to move photos in a particular order without editing .. tks ")
proverbs_31
@matanabe You're talking about in one particular listing, right? No, I don't think so. You need to upload them in the order you want them to appear. Then for example, if you delete pic 2, then pic 3 and 4 will move up. Alternatively, you can click on the pic you want to change, then click on the camera icon to upload a new pic in its place, without moving the other photos around. Does that make sense?
matanabe
yep.. i have them already upload unfortunately so normally i just hit edit then it appears at top.. but wish there was an option to drag into locations cause i have seen where some specify clothes ~ shoes ~ jewelry in order
proverbs_31
@matanabe Oh, are you taking about the order that all your items appear in your closet? For that you just have to share each one. When you share it, it goes to the top. There's no drag & drop. Maybe Posh will come out with that feature in the future. But it's good to share your listings anyway! More exposure!
matanabe
tks! honestly i had no idea sharing caused it to move lol - just did it and wow new info
proverbs_31
@matanabe Oh good, glad I could help! ๐

Thanks for tagging me!!

@proverbs_31 Pay it forward, please! ๐๐I hope i will be able to do soon also. Question: why are some closets unavailable? For example you suggested @pre_pa514 but closet cannot be found.
proverbs_31
@mmadonna40 Hi there :) In that case, she changed her closet name. She's now @cmc514 and I highly recommend her closet! Same closet, different name. But if someone deletes their account, I think it may also show up like that - not found.
mmadonna40
@proverbs_31 gotcha thx! ๐๐โคโคโค

@anarena_ Loom in the pics here. Let me know if you have ques.
proverbs_31
@anarena_ also be sure to wrap your item nicely and include a thank you card โบ
proverbs_31
@fallonnoel See the 3rd picture here. It's really important to use "PRIORITY MAIL" ONLY! No priority mail express, regional rate, etc!! Posh emails us priority mail shipping labels, and the post office ppl are sticklers for using the appropriate box with the label.
proverbs_31
@fallonnoel Also just incase you didn't know, the buyer pays shipping. Posh has a flat shipping rate of $5.95 and sometimes they offer discounts/promos. You don't have to calculate anything! Just make sure your package is 5 lbs or under. Generally, 5 lbs isn't an issue, unless you're Shipping lots of items together, or heavy shoes / boots. If it's over 5 lbs, you as the seller will need to pay a little for it. I've sold over 200 orders, and I've only needed to buy a 6 lb label once.
chandlorsmom
This is amazing @proverbs_31!!! Everyone iis so helpful. I have a pretty good closet going but with all these tips it can be AMAZING! :)
proverbs_31
@chandlorsmom Glad I can help! Also I recommend checking out some of the Poshers who I tagged up top in the first several comments ๐ I'm here if you ever have questions!
proverbs_31
@kimbetly66 Hi there, Is this what you were looking for? If you "like" this listing, you'll be able to refer back to it later by going into your list of likes. I think one of the easiest ways to find people again is just to have their closet name tagged in a listing in your own closet - exactly how you found me! Go to your own listing, you can click on my name and find my closet anytime. You can tag other names in that same listing you have, then you'll know where to go to find anyone again
proverbs_31
@andrastyles Hi there! Welcome to Posh! You have AMAZING cover shots - keep doing what type doing! I got your message on my other listing and wanted to tag you here.

Wow thank you so much for your response! Since I'm so new here I'm still trying to navigate my way through! Thank you for pointing me in this direction!!! For the past few days since quitting my job I have been nonstop but I gotta say I love this community already! It has not been easy since my my job was making me sick and I'm only 30 but I decided to give my dreams a shot!!!! Thanks again for ur feedback and I will read through all of this like a madwoman!!! Lol ๐๐๐๐๐๐

@victorria13 Hi, I'm going to respond in this thread, in case other Poshers have the same question about how to Become a Suggested User. Posh has a few blog posts about this. Do you know how to find their blog? From your computer, it's in the dropdown menu. Here's the link: https://blog.poshmark.com/2014/08/10/posh-tip-how-to-become-a-suggested-user/
proverbs_31
@victorria13 Basically, they want you to be in good standing (no unsupported items, no taking transactions off of posh, etc). As a SU, you represent Posh, so they want you to be social and communicate well with the community. You can email them and ask to be considered, but be prepared to wait several months to get chosen! Does that help?
timelessbytori
Yes that helps very much thank you so much, did you ask to be considered or does somebody else nominate you?
proverbs_31
@victorria13 If anyone nominated me, I didn't know about it. I emailed them and asked.

Thank you for taking the time to share!

@jmh311 On the 2nd picture, I've added some tips for what to ask before you purchase. I definitely recommend asking for measurements! Length, waist, rise, bust, etc. Then you can compare those to something you already have, and get a better idea of how it will fit you. A few more ideas of what to ask are listed. I really hope that helps you for your future purchases!
proverbs_31
@guxdxlupee See the 3rd pic for more shipping info... The shipping labels are good for 5 lbs and under. It's rare that you'd go over 5 lbs - maybe heavy boots or a bundle of multiple shoes or something.... Wrap your item nicely, like in tissue paper. Many Poshers include a little thank you note.... I schedule a pick up on the USPS app and they pick it up with my mail the next day!
proverbs_31
@guxdxlupee The important thing is to make sure you order only the "priority mail" boxes. *NO* flat rate, regional rate, express, etc!! They're free from usps.com and they deliver to your door. Order now so you have them on hand when you make a sale. Get a bunch of sizes. The closer we get to Christmas, the longer they take to deliver!
proverbs_31
@guxdxlupee Also see the 2nd pic for advice before you make a purchase. Hope this helps!

@proverbs_31 thank you for all your help! You are so kind and I will most likely bother you some more for future reference lol thanks again! ๐
