I'm so behind on my weekly dosages of Yvonne! It's my tracker's guilty pleasure week so I've watching tons of shitty teenage romances... BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

What is a "single share notification"? Thanks!
gordomom
Great idea!!! π
queenmumm
@nspnr The single share notification (or first share notification) means that your first share of a listing will show up in the seller's newsfeed. Subsequent shares of the SAME listing will not issue a notification. This a Posh safety feature designed to prevent someone from spamming another seller via the share feature. Poshers sometimes use a comment to notify the seller they are sharing the listing again. It's not necessary to do that. If you are a consistent sharer of other closets, you are spreading the Posh love - and that's really what counts! πππππ

@queenmumm Hey, your royal hiness... Caren15@msn dot com is my email and I need your mailing address my royal friend! I was on 2 missions.. 1. To get @gettumgirl Charm sand.. Evidently contraband in UK "Whatye want sand fer?" " Whatye go in' to do with sand?" " They actually sell sand in The States?" Oh, I was looked at like a mythical unicorn at 6 ports.. I had to get alternative token.. My second mission was to get you, my dear, something depicting the Queen Mumm... It was like she never existed! I was at the Tower of London and saw the jewels.. So... No pictures THESE BRITS MEAN BUSINESS! I saw items worn by the Queen Mumm... Reached into my bag (my baby travel Gucci) and went "on the down low" to snap a picture!!! A guard saw this and said "Ma'am, if you are about to do what I think you are going to do, I will seize your phone!" I said no sir!!!!! I wanted, out of respect , to make sure phone was off!!!! Big blue doe eyed like! He thanked me and told me additional about the jewels.. Turns out, he was way cool, but no picture :( Shop after shop all Kate and Willie!!! So, I plan b'd it for you as well! Just a small token as prices were crazy and the doller to pound was an as& raping (and not the good type).... But I did get you something royal.... Like ;) and I would like to shoot it out to you :) I will give you a clue.. I am a descendent of the Royals... My last name is Stewart! The Stewart Castle is Holyrood in Edinburgh (next to Paris, my favorite port). The Queen and Queen Mumm vacation there one week out of the year ! The tour included Edinburgh Castle, but not Holyrood.. But we got a stop (to peer thru the gates) My sister was in London when I was, but only spent a week in Westminster/London... (Lucky dog had time , at my nieces insistence, to do a 3 hour NIGHT WALKING TOUR OF WHITE CHAPEL...yes, it was THE JACK THE RIPPER TOUR!) Sis is a Royal Family Groupie.. Books, documentaries, she is obsesses ! Her only request was pictures of the Stewart Castle! Our coach was slated for a 5 minute photo op.. Aka 2 minutes with crowds...I bonded with Helen, over the whole Hugh Jackman church family man connection... She walked up to me as I was trying to wedge through iron gates to get pics for Tricia.. I explained the sentiment, great grandfather thru Ellis a island (left out he was found on skid row later in life after he abandoned his family and died in a back ward of Bellvue in NY) and when she heard Stewart (the royal lineage is huge... Still in UK) She allowed me an extra 10 minutes to take pictures and to pop into gift shop in alley outside castle gate !!!! It was there that I was able to procure a royal token... Ok.. A few degrees of separation , but I worked it out .. Thanks to Helen!!! Ok, I was Poshless for three weeks, so , excuse my lengthy tale as to the origin of your gift... I am making up for lost time!
queenmumm
@carenlovesgucci OMG, GF. What a story! So proud that you weren't shipped away to a UK work farm in Africa for trying to photo the CJs. I've heard they are very strict up that way regarding the queen's accoutrements. AS IF we could sit down with paste gems and create our own crown. - darn, I wish!!! My addy is PO box 3071, Brentwood, TN 37024-3071. Can't wait to see what your selfless little heart procured for me. You are truly a wacky wonderful warmhearted woman!!!πππππππππππ

@gypsyangel Thank you, GF!

πlove this! But be carefulβ¨β¨ some even if you explain it's PM β€οΈ get irritated. Just know be kind it can go a long way and they may become your friendπ!
queenmumm
@sdshopper I totally agree with the sensitivity of it, which is why I stress to offer help ONLY if desired. Mentoring is something we may see more of (via PMHQ) and it would be optional for new users - but it's something to seriously explore. So many posh closets have spectacular items....and one little rule breaking item that keeps them from getting a host pick. I'm hoping these new users ask for and get help so they can score those host picks!!!
sdshopper
Exactly! I hate not to share a great closet (majority brand new ) with unauthorized products/PP/trading etc... It makes me sad I can't unless they fix it!!!πππ

@siennethreads Wow, it was so wonderful meeting you, Michelle! I hope I didn't do too much to embarrass myself or anyone around me. I do tend to let it all hang out (no pun intended on the "breast" remark from the panel...) ;)

I would love some feedback on my closet if you don't mind. I want to sell so I can buy more of my likes. I have already made like 5 purchase orders and one sell. Any advice. I am attending parties, sharing others postings l like and following those with similar style. I have 2 HPs and I have been on PM for 9 days.
queenmumm
@wownelly Hi Janelle - welcome to Poshmark! I've taken a peek in your closet and my biggest tip is to always be improving your covershots in a variety of ways - take your pics in natural light, try to wear what you can, pair clothing with jewelry or a cute pair of shoes, maybe throw in a handbag and have someone take your photo or style it in front of the mirror and snap a pic. It's easier for us to want to buy if we see how it looks on you, not the hanger. This is the reason many closets have mannequins. Another thing you can do is set your phone to videotape, set it up on something sturdy and pose a few times, then take a screen capture of what you like. Get close up shots on the design, pattern, and fabric of what you are selling. Throw in color for the items that are black or white (an accessory helps) Photograph light items on dark backgrounds and vice versa for contrast. You have fun clothes, but with over 5 million listings on Poshmark, you need to make us stop scrolling through the other listings and click into your items. Host picks help with that and you want to lure hosts into your closet. That covershot is the all important first step. I'll tag you to a few of my other tips which may help. Good luck - you're off to a good start! Cheers! :)
wownelly
@queenmumm Thanks for the feedback. I might need a mannequin since most of these don't fit me. I appreciate the feedback and will work on doing some cute cover shots. :)

donnajean_67
I'd like to thank you for all of your Posh tips, I've learned so much from following you! You also have an incredible closet; I love your style!π I have a question, what is your policy regarding returns? I recently had a customer who purchased a bag and wanted to return it because she read the description incorrectly, & had thought it was a cross body bag. I'm just curious as to what your response would be.
queenmumm
@donnajean_67 Hey, GF! Thank you for all your lovely comments! I'm ultra flattered. I have not yet had a return so don't have experience to answer your question. The buyer can refuse to accept the bag first via Poshmark, but unless it is damaged or not faithful to your listed description, it really can't be returned. Remember that each Posher has the ability to re-Posh the item in her own closet without a listing fee - even if she isn't a regular seller. You can offer access to the original listing/pics, etc. to help her create the new listing. You can also help share it and direct potential customers to it. If she really wants her money back now, and you will accept the item, remember that it left your hands for a while and the condition may change before it is returned to you. Ask her to mail it back in the same packaging, same box if possible - snap a quick photo before sealing the box to show condition. I think it's justified she pays the return shipping since you delivered what you promised but she made a mistake in purchase - you shouldn't be penalized for that. I guarantee she'll read every item description more closely and ask plenty of questions after this. Once you receive it, you will need to arrange to reimburse her. As an example: If she paid $30 plus orig. shipping, she may expect $35. You made $24 off the sale. Thats an extra $11 out of your pocket to return her money in full. Decide how you want to handle that. Whether by buying from her closet to reimburse or in a separate payment (check, money order, etc), this should ALL be discussed UP FRONT before the return is made. If you feel like she may buy from you in future, you might spot her extra allowances on some of the above. We all want happy customers, but at the end of the day, we need to be content with how the transaction ended. So make the best decision for you and then stick to it! Good luck!! :)
donnajean_67
Thanks for responding so quickly, I appreciate it! I had already told her that I was sorry she had misread the description, but since I had given a very detailed description including the exact measurements of the bag and how long the strap drop is, & photos showing it on the shoulder, the sale was final. In her response she made it sound as though returning items is a common practice, and since this situation is a first for me I wanted some in put from an experienced Posher. I am comfortable with my decision, but I will take your advice & try to help her sell it if she decides to list it. Thanks again!
blingbabe10
Awsome love it @queenmumm. I can trully say ive came across some really nurturing ladies. Glad I finally found your closet as well. Really gorgeous...keep up the good work. Btw, the pricing system just brilliant.
mom2eandj
Thank you for all the thought you put into these helpful posts! I am hoping you can tell me how to move my listings around. I have Poshmark on my android phone and tablet, but have found the computer to be a faster way when shopping and commenting, etc. Perhaps the 'move' feature is located there, and I just haven't yet discovered it? Thanks so much in advance! Martha
mom2eandj
I have another question for you. Is there a way to see Sellers/Closets that I just recently followed - as opposed to just seeing an alphabetical list? I ask because I was in a closet this morning that had a post about looking for a sequin maxi skirt, and I found a few and wanted to tag her, but cannot remember who it was. (Sometimes I get into a closet and then another from there, and another from there, down the rabbit hole if you will, and lose track of it!)
Thank you,
Martha
laylalucasmama
I would love the help
queenmumm
@mom2eandj Hi Martha! Excellent question! Unfortunately, if you've exhausted your upper left "back" button and can't return to the closet you were seeking, the trail turns a bit cold. There are ways to return to closets that you have previously searched in the "find person" section of your account. Clicking into the blank field should populate your last 100 searches that you typed in previously. The other option would be to perform an item search for what you recall on the listing, eg. "looking for" and filter the category for skirts and dresses and unsold items only. The results will still be lengthy, but it might help jog your memory. This is an excellent time to remind everyone reading the comments here - if you see a closet that you like, always "like" at least one of the items (liking an item you don't intend to buy isn't harmful - it's a vote of confidence) This puts that user into your searchable likes and thus much easier to find than looking at your follower list. It also gives you a fast way to share the closets you like the most. Good luck, Martha - I hope you find what you are looking for!
queenmumm
@laylalucasmama hi! I would love to help you. Getting a party host pick would greatly improve your closet's exposure and help with shares, followers and sales. Because hosts can only select from closets that follow all the rules and guidelines, you need to make sure your closet qualifies. Don't accept paypal, and remove any items from your closet that are not allowed. To see a full list of what you can and can't sell, go to your account page and scroll down to the FAQ. At the bottom of FAQ is a section entitled "what can I sell on Poshmark". I also have many more tips in my closet that can help. Just look in my listings. If you have any questions, let me know. Good luck!

I most definitely need help !! I thought, I've been doing fashion and sales all my life. I've got a good assortment of items. So why are my items moving so slow?? Photos are clear. Prices are reasonable. What do I need to do? Any feedback is welcome! Thanks!
queenmumm
@tigress18 Hi Ramona! I'm very happy to help you. I think your listings are great - you've got clean covershots with detailed descriptions. What you are lacking is a bigger following when you share your closet. 800 fellow users are seeing what you share - you want to take that number higher. The first thing I tell every Posher is to "always be working on those covershots". Don't be afraid to wear an item, take it outdoors for better lighting or even put it together with coordinating accessories or clothing. With over 375,000 active selling closets on Poshmark, you may want to think outside the box to make your closet memorable and click-worthy - a "scroll-halter" if you will. One of your primary goals should be scoring a host pick in one of the evening parties. That kind of exposure is 1000-fold and attracts numerous shares and followers. I've written a few listings ("Q-Tips") in my closet that discuss how to get a host pick, how to network, when to share your closet and the common characteristics that you'll find in the more successful closets. I'll tag you to the more popular of the Q-Tips to start. Also check out my blog (just click the link below my name). I've helped many Poshers take their closets to the next level (host picks, party host, suggested user) with these tips. I think you'll find many of the answers you're seeking, and know I'm always happy to follow up on anything that is needs clarification. Good luck and Cheers! :)

@grace4d Lol. Welcome to Poshmark! ππStumbling around is a common characteristic of newbie-ness. You'll get your Posh legs soon. I find new users by going into a Posh Party and clicking on the First Look link. A quick click on many of these items will reveal new and younger users behind them. πππ
grace4d
Why thank you! I wasn't sure, so that helps a lot. I didn't know anything about the parties for quite a few weeks nor how to get my items posted to one or even submitted to one (the last still being fuzzy). Totally green girl. lol.
You have a good night. :) Dee

I would love a posh mentor if anyone's looking to adopt me!! π thanks for making this post @queenmumm
queenmumm
@sarahmartell Hi Sarah! Welcome to Poshmark! I'm always adopting new Poshers. Please give my closet a quick browse for the "Q-tip" (Posh tip) listings that feature a lot of great info to help you gain success faster in the app. I also have a blog at midlifealamode.com with handy Posh-related articles. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers! πππ
gordomom
@evasterbunny this is one of the reasons I Posh. There are so many helpful & supportive Poshers out there. I had non-compliant items when I first started out as well. It's through the kindness and caring of others that our community grows. πΊ
sarahmartell
@queenmumm thanks so much!! I have looked at a bunch of your tips and saved them to my Likebrary!! They are super helpful! βΊοΈ at this point I'm really trying to work on building my following and getting more HPs! I'm hoping this is the best way to make my first sale!

@queenmumm π sorry can I ask you a question? I clicked your like in bio thanks for that btw. Helpful and so humorous I cracked up laughing. I'm still not sure about one item. I wanted to list a cute PINK by VS travel cooler. It's not plastic or hard. It's soft material. Does the fall in the portable accessorize? Like tablet covers umbrellas cell phone covers. I would think so but I want a second opinion. Lol. Thanks in advance. Your amazing!! -Carolyn
queenmumm
@cmd413 Hi Carolyn! Thanks for reading and supporting my blog. You're great, too! There is a fine line on accessories. Soft sided lunch bags that look like small handbags are fine, but coolers that can hold a bunch of drinks are not, though soft sided may be considered differently. I suggest you send a pic to HQ and ask before listing. They are happy to assist but it may take a few days for a response. If you don't hear back, let me know. Cheers! ππππ
prettyinpinkbtq
@queenmumm your welcome. I'll be sure to subscribe. I think that's what it is. A lunch box. Not a cooler. I'm glad you used that word. ππ should I still ask. If I uploaded a pic quick not for sale. Would that help. I literally laughed so hard on that blog, if the rest is as humorous. I'm so game for reading it all.
queenmumm
@cmd413 Sure, if you want to upload a pic - I can take a quick look. :)
queenmumm
@cmd413 If you get a chance, you will probably like the first posts I wrote about Poshmark in 2013. They are available in the archives section. :)
prettyinpinkbtq
@queenmumm I will definitely read. I'm a big reader. Love humor, love posh so π perfect combo
queenmumm
@cmd413 Carolyn: this from HQ "Lunch totes are allowed on Posh, however, coolers are not. This can be tricky as this particular item can double as both. When advising her, please be sure she lists the item through the proper name, and if she has any further questions she can reach out to support as well." Hope this helps :)
prettyinpinkbtq
@queenmumm thank you!! Your amazing, wow that was fast. Will not mention that cooler part at all. π subscribed last night but was feeling well and crashed. Can't wait to read it all. Thank you so much again. π

@queenmumm Hi Queen Bee Brenda, it's your friendly neighborhood pest again with another question. A newbie has latched on under my wing (I love it) and asked about reducing a price to get reduced shipping. I think it's at least 10% off the original price, is that right? I cannot find the instructions for that anywhere, so I can't refer her to the rule book!
chicknthesticks
@queenmumm Like you have nothing better to do with your time other than answer questions... THANK YOU for your help. I appreciate you very much β€βΊ
I'm having a hard time recommending the official forum to newbies. It doesn't appear to be very official lately, and it's tough to get a response. Are they mainly for announcements? Your thoughts?
queenmumm
@rcatheron Hi Robynne! If you'll click on your news link (notifications, comments, shares, etc.) at the top is a dark pink box with the latest announcement from HQ. Currently it tells about the $1.99 shipping deal. Just click that for directions/rules on how to get the reduced shipping. Good luck! ππ
queenmumm
@rcatheron As for official forum, I don't know how their format works. I know they are a central place to see party host names and live meetup information. As the app gets bigger, the sellers who run these information only closets may be getting too busy to field all questions. There may be something coming in the new year that will cull info, tips and extra help into one easy to find place. Stay tuned!
chicknthesticks
@queenmumm Well now, isn't it convenient that they posted the information just when we needed it! Duh me for not seeing that big pink banner...
Thanks for the info on OF. It's already excellent for announcements, so any improvement in other areas will be fabulous! Have a great day! βΊππ
makeuppatti
Crazy question of the day.....how do you mass tag or tag period....??? Do you mean referencing users with the @_____ address??
queenmumm
@makeuppatti Hi Patti! Welcome to Poshmark. Good question. You do indeed tag by putting the username behind an @. Careful on the mass tagging as it is a divisive issue. Many Poshers do not want to be tagged with a bunch of other names on anything. Some don't mind at all, but I would definitely ask permission from each user before you create a tag "list" for parties or sales. Happy Poshing! πππ.
kyliolise
I love your q-tips! I have been flying blind since I joined posh last month and would love to mentor new poshers once I get the hang of things! It feels like I share others closets like crazy, but my followers and shares don't seem to be increasing very rapidly. Side note-Love your take on using stock photos, so if you happen to take a peek at my closet, don't judgeπ¬, I will change stock photos out ASAP. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
queenmumm
@kyliolise Hi Kyli! Welcome to Posh! Thanks for stopping by - I love your comments. Use of stock photos is fine as long as you back up your listing with shots of the actual item you are selling - which you seem to have already done. I have singular stock pics but they are all "coming soon" until I get the actual item photographed. Your closet is lovely and I think you will make a terrific mentor. Cheers & Happy Poshing!! ππππ
princessbethany
Hello @queenmumm π·π· I am a fairly new posher and I just created my first follow game, could you please help me get it started?
retagit
Does it help with a sale if you make a nice, helpful comment on someone's listing before sharing it? i.e. Great bag for summer, etc. Thank you. You have amazing suggestions and I love stopping by to see what's new in your closet.
queenmumm
@retagit Hi Dede! Most closets don't mind a lovely greeting on their listing like that. I personally think it's delightful. :) And yes, it can lead to sales and share returns because you convey your personality. So hard to do when just pushing the share button..... ;)
retagit
Thank you!

@queenmumm Hello, Im a "newby". Ive made some great Posh purchases and I was so excited to start selling. But I've had my closet up for over a month with not a single sale and only a handful of "Likes". Ive shared often, my followers have shared my items but nothing.
I've tried to learn as much as I can to be successful.
Your knowledge and feedback is very much requested... HELP! My closet is @eternally28
queenmumm
@eternally28 Welcome to Posh, Stacey! You have great items but shares are so very important. You should share your whole closet NO LESS than 3-4 times everyday, preferably in party time slots. Also, share more for others. Many Poshers share 500-1000 items per day. This really helps with followers & sharebacks. I have a number of Q-tips in my closet which have helped Poshers shortcut to success. They explain easy ways to get noticed. Good luck! Cheers! πππ

@queenmumm thank you for responding. I'll work on the sharing and reading more of your helpful info. π

@queenmumm, hello. I'm on a mass tag list. I can't stand every day having to zoom thru it to get to the good stuff. What purpose do they serve if any? Thank u.
queenmumm
@shopahola Hi Sandra :) You don't have to suffer on a mass tag list. Kindly request to be removed. If they don't remove you, block for a week or so and see if they've taken you off. Mass taggers who don't have permission from their "listees" are breaking etiquette rules. Poshers create them like phone call trees to generate buzz. Gets the word spread quickly, but to the detriment of our feeds. Anyone who puts you on a list needs your permission first. Hope this helps.
shopahola
@queenmumm, Hi again. Thank you so much for your quick response. I was also curious to know how this tag benefits me. She may have said she was going to do this a long time ago, but I don't recall. I have asked her about it, and she hasn't answered me. She's probably too busy tagging people (lol). I appreciate your answer and all your other great advice. I'm still trying to learn all Posh has; and now they've made major changes, which I don't agree with (men's and kid's clothing).
fallinup
Have you ever run into a situation where you receive an error msg when trying to follow. I sent an email to PM, no reply yet. I'm unable to follow anyone, keep getting an 'error try again later'. Hmmmm
queenmumm
@fallinup Hi Pam! This is an error I've not heard of. Make sure you are using the latest app update, or try reinstalling the app. Also check if you can log onto a computer browser and follow others. If you are still unable to follow anyone at all, your email to PM should yield results soon. Sometimes you can pose questions like this on the PM Twitter or FB and get quick insight if there is a known glitch. Good luck! π
fallinup
Thanks, when it happens, I can't follow from computer either. I'm thinking maybe I followed to many people in a given time frame. I got the error for over 10hrs last night, then could follow some this morning, but after following all the just joined', I got it again for several hours. I will keep an eye on it and wait for a response.
queenmumm
@fallinup Ok, I think I know the problem. You've been active since March but have followed a large number of closets in a short amount of time. The system is likely flagging your account to determine if a bot is being used. This is a security measure - bots are not allowed on PM. If you are doing your own manual clicking with no automation, obviously you aren't a bot, but you may want to slow down a bit to allow your account to reset. Hope this helps. :)
fallinup
Lol, yeah that's kinda what I thought. Thanks!

@queenmumm I am truly grateful to have found your closet. Shout out to Poshmark Analytics 30MM for recommending your closet for all the great advice and empowerment toward one another.
stirandmadame
I absolutely love this idea so much! If we all did this just think how much easier it would be for new poshers. It can definitely be overwhelming at first!

Iβm wondering if you experience any decrees in activity since the posh algorithm has changed?
